"I had a teacher in high school," he said, "who believed that the pupils of high school age had poetic thoughts and that the world expresses them if they were given the right sort of coaching. "One day we were assigned the task of writing poems. A long time after that I saw my poem along with another one written in the same class in a magazine article which the professor hau written on the subject. The poems were supposed to prove his points. From there I began to write verses." Countee Cullen's first volume "Color" was written almost entirely while he was studying at New York University. The book was published while he was working hard working master's degree. His second volume, Copper Scn, was published in 1927; the Ballad of the Brown Girl in 1928, and the Black Christ in 1929.

He is a tour of duty reading his poems. Expressing his preference for present-day poets, Cullen says: "Edward - Arlington - Robinson is America's finest poet. His art scope, his out-pursuit of the truth, his front in him. However, I like to read Eda St. Vincent Milly in her less frividous moments. But we have no one who writes as well as Massefeld or Yets. I consider Massefeld's English language has the Byssle, the best things that any modern English language poet has done."

SLAM AT HOOVER QUICKLY CLOSES OPEN (?) FORUM Wilmington High Principal Says Speech Eurbarrassed Him CLARKE SPEAKER D.C. Attorney too Radical for Delaware WILMINGTON, Del—Reference to the President of the United States and Congress as "official law breakers" threw a bombshell into the Open Door Forum at the Howard High School, 18th and Poplar Streets, Sunday. Thomas H. R. Clarke, Washington, D. C. attorney and realtor, and a war veteran, was the speaker. As he specified the lawless activities of the President and Congress, George A. Johnson, principal of the school, and John McKinney, Mr. Johnson, said that while he agreed in part with what Mr. Clarks had said, in general his remarks were too political and embarrassing to the administration of the school. He asked Mr. Clarke to confine himself to matters less political, and Mr. Clarke expressed his regrets that his remarks were proving embarrassing to the school administration. "I challenge anybody in the state of Delaware to disprove the statements I have made here this afternoon," he said. Mr. Clarke bargained the school administration as I seem to have done, I will stop now. The meeting terminated abruptly with the announcement by Chairman Johnson that Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, of New York, will be the speaker at the April 13 session of the open forum. Former Lieutenant Mr. Clarke is a former lieutenant in the Spanish American war. In his address he referred to the President, and Congress as official he broke with the troops to Haiti and ousted the government in that country and that there never had been an enforcement of the 14th and 15th Amendments to Negro rights to vote and finally, that in spite of its Constitutional guarantee for freedom of speech, police have broken into the United States in the United States recently. Won't Name Negroes "What do you think of a President who was sworn to defend the United States against all enemies and proceed to announce I will appoint no colored men to office in communities where such appointments are objectionable to white people." "There is no color line in the Constitution. Why they were even so ashamed of the institution of slavery in the United States, that document the framers wrote into it not the word 'slaves,' but three-fifths of all 'other persons.'" See factual nation plays battles with shuttlecock with the Constitution, and then those same factions come out and say that the bootleggers and racketeers are the only element who do not respect the Constitution. "Congress alone has the power to declare war, according to the Constitution, and yet we have the amazing success of troops into little Haiti; ousting the Haitian government; setting up one for them; writing a constitution, and backing it by military force compelling obedience." Fourteenth Amendment "There has never been any attempt at the enforcement of the 14th Amendment by the Congress of the United States in spite of the fact that Senators have not been denied." But when the right to vote is denied, except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced (in that state) in the proportion which the citizens bear to the whole lum- lum of male citizens, twenty-one years of age in such state."

Wright was chairman of the evening and after announcing the decision of the judges, Lincoln students opened a chorus of coozing stating that the worst the惟逊 Mountains should have received was a draw.

While protests against the policy of segregating the mothers on their sacred pilgrimage to the battlefields of France have been voiced by a score of national organizations, prominent citizens, and practically every newspaper throughout the country, the mothers themselves have registered no complaint, it was pointed out. Cause no Change The protests were considered but caused no change to be made in the plans. In the absence of the protests of the mothers and widows, themselves, officials claim to be justified in their conclusion they are assaulted and rarely stated. "The mothers themselves, who are to be the guests on this tour, are not complaining," said Colonel William Gibson, "yet their complaint would have more weight than any others." Colonel Gibson is in charge of the arrangements for the trip which are the office of the Quartermaster General. Four More Sign Continuing, officials point out that even after complaints began pouring into the War Department following the exposure of the "lim sim" plan by the Capitals, the military have signed a willingness to make the trip, bringing the total number up to 222 to go in 1930 and 5 to sail at some later date. In the meantime, newspapers and local organizations have called for the elibible mothers to refuse to make the trip under the present arrangements. W. Va.

South Bend Doctor Victim of Killer Foreigner Makes Two Confessions in Mystery Double Murder. SOUTH BEND, Ind.-Dr. J. L. Curtis, killed by Leon Dimbinski, March 6, in the Dimbinski home, was the wives' friend of the victim. Since his arrest on the charge of murdering the physician whom he first said he found disrobed in his wife's apartment, he was accompanied with a second confession. In his new statement he tells how he brought the physician to his home about mid-night when he was asked to undergo an illegal operation, which he said, would help both of them out of financial trouble. He slayer, the doctor worked on his wife for 15 minutes, and when she screamed with pain, he killed both of them. One bullet was sufficient for the physician, and three for his wife, he said. The perfect mistress cannot be found according to Grace Robinson, white, giving in March 22 issue of Liberty magazine what purports to be a country-wide survey of the servant problem based upon letters received from 31 cities in the United States. In Baltimore, says the survey: "15 per cent of domestics are colored. The servant problem of late years has become complicated by 'overeducation.' Hundreds of boys and girls are graduated from Negro high schools yearly. With their smattering of French and art, they consider themselves above the servant class and Baltimore has more women, dressmakers, women bachelors, teachers, parlor artists than are needed for the colored population. [EDDON'S NOTE: Baltimore has only one senior high school and its total number of graduates is less than 4,000. It is estimated that 50,000 colored people are in demand for Baltimore service is from eight to twelve dollars per week for general housework, $10 to $15 per week for cooks and two dollars a day and cartage for day workers.] The Germans Next Jewish families employ Getman girls, according to the magazine which reports that at first these girls are industrious and willing but they soon think and become aggressive and unmanageable as the American-born. Arizona Indians In Arizona where housewives employ Indians or Mexicans, mistresses complain that girls are lazy, the girls object to late card and drinking parties where they are required to serve, alice, a drink, not mind if they were paid overtime. Love Making of Filipino "Portland, Oregon, might avail itself of Filipino labor," says Liberty but refuses to bore the weight of the Filipino's proclivity for violent love-making. Mothers with young daughters prefer not to take chances. The girls who are suitable. Filipinos are said to make efficient servants. Housewives find they do better work than males and do not object to extra jobs, like grass cutter. Catholics Blamed Too In some sections of the country Catholics are preferred by many employers who believe church is the home of the poor. In other sections, Catholics are unpopular with Christian Scientists and even with Catholic employers. They say against Catholics many argue against Catholic servants. "Jewish people make the least complaints against their servants." "They do not seem keen when whelves are hired. How hotot or a deaf mute so she knows how to work and keeps at it." "Omaha, Nebraska," housewives complaining that the servants of their servants who are the most never colored and generally American-born. But their worst problem is the immorality of mails, practiced outside their employer's In Chicago, Liberty found chauffeurs must be good-looking and butlers may be plain. The magazine "Servants there frequently complain about four-flushing by employers. Too many housewives want a maid of all work to be done. They do it in a manner suggesting she has nothing else to do, and answer the telephone even when the mistress it at hand.

"In New York about half of the servant supply is Irish and many complain they are dirty and lazy, but throughout New York domestic situations are scarcely to the growth in New Yorkers to live in apartment hotels." Scandinavians Demanded "of nationalities or races sought, Scandinavians are in great demand," says Liberty, "eight cities clamoring for them, including colored help, Americans, Scotch, English, Germans, Irish, and Poles are preferred by three cities each. Only New York is there a demand for French." "Eleven cities do not want colored help. In many cases their marital status is not known, so secreta sections where the colored population is not large housewives are not accustomed to them." "Seven cities seek services of colored help at least have no objection to them." The Remedy "Employment experts suggest as remedial schemes standardized hours, higher wages, shorter hours, better housing. Many tranys and workers who are employed be compressed into an eight-hour day, and throw up their hands in despair. "Servants as a whole, are an honest lot. Only two cities complained of frequent thievery. In the South course, men were more mistresses overlook such pliering; are thankful if their domestics do nothing worse."

There are so many women in the city who voice with sonnet-like cases in court, that the AFRO has determined to pay some attention to the marriages which have succeeded. "Let hubby think he is boss, but give him advice," is one of the formulas Mrs. Alfred Knox, 2015 Druid Hill Avenue, sets forth as the reason why they have had fifteen years of a glorious married life. "Looking back on these 15 years," Mrs. Knox declared, "although we have had some ups and downs could hold over it, age and feel that, all in all, it has been 15 years of perfect bliss. Understanding "Mr. Knox and I soon came to understand each other. The first thing we did was to catalogue each other's likes and dislikes. With these understood, we then learned how to steer around valuable difficulties which occurred as a result. "Our home is plain, but comfortable. Perhaps the biggest factor which kept away worry and disagreements was the fact that from the very beginning we both decided to live within our means, and we had more than we did. We make our plans and we discuss every problem together. No Nagging "One of the things I had learned before I married was that you could not make the world—and men—over in a day. I do not nag when some problem arises. It comes and goes and that ends in a fight. I like to dance and play cards. Mr. Knox is somewhat reserved. I know he does not like dancing for himself, so I divide the interests, dance and play cards. He has the hand of the amusement time with him in the way I know he likes. In similar manner he has learned to allow me to go out to dances and play cards. He has learned Smooth "Of course, everything does not always run smoothly, and we both make mistakes. When an impassable barrier or aggressive person has learned to put on his hat and go for a walk, I think or cry mine out. Anyway when we come back together we make point not made, we agree—and the barrier is passed. "We have a car and enjoy it together. He is a chaplain in seamstress uniform, we would happily if we had children, but not having them has not been allowed to act as a disappointment, for we have filled the gap by taking a lively interest in the children of others." There is a lot of the world that is our plain, simple existence, is allowed to pass by, but in that in which we live, we have been as happy as feel we would have been in any other existence.

Governor Pardons Resurrection Undertaker UNDERTAKER WHO DUG UP BODY GIVEN PARDON Petition Signed by 900 Honored by Virginia Governor SENTENCE 5 YEARS Unpaid Burial Fee Disinterment Cause SUFFOLK, Va. (CNS.) — The undertaker who shocked the sensibilities of the entire town when he dug up the body of a woman he had buried a month before, and returned the corpse to her rel- atives, because he had not been paid for his services, was pardoned. Governor Pallord for the offense of "violating a senator." Thomas E. Cook, of Suffolk, was sentenced under the grave-robbing statute to five years in the penitentiary. The governor pardoned him when Judge McLemore, Commonwealth's Attorney Goodwin, the jury and 900 residents of Suffolk petitioned for clemency. When the relatives of Mrs. Rosa Wym, deceased, returned home one evening, she found her back at a stretched on an improvised bier made of chairs a month after she had been consigned to the grave in the cemetery. Burial Fee Unpaid The undertaker argued that he was justified in digging her up, as her family had failed to produce the $25 insurance check which had been promised him as first payment, for 1600. The family of the dead woman argued, on the other hand, that they had sent the check by one of the family to the undertaker. It never reached him, however. As the weeks passed and no money was received, the woman became impatient, and finally got a disinterment permit from the health department, resurrected the body, took it out of the expensive casket, put it in a cheaper one, and placed same in the place of the former from the deceased. The body had been embalmed and was in a good state of preservation. Relatives Disturbed The relatives were so disturbed over the affair that it was not long before sufficient funds were raised to induce Understake Cook to return the corpse to the burial room and be jailed on a charge of "violating a sepulchre" and sentenced in January to serve five years in the penitentiary, the family relented and along with certain prominent citizens requested that the corpse be returned. society to be a leader. A delegation, headed by State Senator E. E. Holland, of Suffolk and including Mr. Holliday, of Boston, and Mr. Re C. J. Goodwin and the Rev. W. W. Staley, called on Governor Pollard and asked that Cook be appointed, because the entireity was too severe that Cook had been ignorant of the law against opening gates. The Cook had a permit from the health officer to disinter So Governor Pollard heeded the plea. D.C. Visitors Eblyte V. Goode, Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Johnson and son, and Mrs. and Mrs. A. B.

St. Louis Detective Sergeant is Promoted to Lieutenancy Separate Room for Negro Worshippers Explained O.K.'d By MEMBERS Communicants Say they Asked for Section ELLICOTT CITY—A separate basin out of which holy water is administered to Negro communicants and a separate section in which they worship is a part of the administration of religion in the St. Paul Catholic Church, an AFRO-AMERICAN reporter was told this week. The basin, which has been placed at a side entrance used by colored members and which leads to a section of the church used by these members, was put there some time ago, it was said. Father Ryan, priest at the church, emphatically that any arrangement had been made to segregate colored members. Makes Charges Father Ryan was shown a letter to the AFRO from a Myersdale, Pa. resident who visited Ellicott City recently and who stated that, as a Catholic, he had visited St. Paul's and found Negro members compelled to use a side door entrance and occupy a small ante-room in which to worship. The letter also stated that during this visit the writer had attended a dance given by a Catholic organization of the church, and that during the progress of the affair, white and Negro couples were dancing, a priest htd entered and asked the colored couples to stop dancing to give a number of white couples seated about the hall charged charges. Father Evan received charges of sequestration were absolutely untrue and did him an his church a great injustice. "I have been done an injury," he said. "I could not call myself a priest if I acted in such a way towards the colored people. I have treated them sympathetically because they are In a statement which he declared not intended for publication, Father Ryan also branded as wrong to lead a colored corpse to the cemetery. He told the rites connected with death of a communicant. The rules for the procession must keep a fast until the mass is said just before the procession leaves. It is customary for priests to break the fast as the cortege gets near. The priest generally stops long enough to take a cup of coffee and then catch up with the procession. The rituals are the same at all funerals, according to priest. Separate Schools Relative to the maintenance of a separate school, it was pointed out that the state laws require the separation of the races in the schools. The church, he said, could not set a law for new-breakers. The Catholic school now maintained for the colored children has seven grades. There were formerly two teachers, but small attendance resulted in dispensing the cost of a high-profit institution, taught by a sister of the church. A nominal fee of a few cents per week is asked. In cases where the parents are unable to pay the cost, the children are admitted the same as the others. The school now has 40 students, more or less. It is situated in the town, while the public school is located a far distance on the road. Members Satisfied Member Satisfied consulted by the AFRO representative spoke with highest praise of the priest and his activities. "If there is any segregation at the church it is self-imposed," stated one person. The room we use at the church was given us because we asked for it." said another. "It is a nice room and was formerly occupied by boys from the Rock and Roll band," she said. The auditorium are paid for and we would not fee. Right in taking a seat for which someone has sat, she said. And the sisters of the church sit in our room. We are permitted to enter any door we wish and to sit anywhere we Mrs. Scott. Talks Relative to the statement that the priest had stopped colored couples from dancing the wromote of the Catholic rules, the Catholic rules do not permit priests to visit the dances. The charge that a priest had halted a dance for whites and later collected the ad audience labelled as being "absolutely untrue." Mrs. Scott stated that she collected the proceeds, which went for the benefit of the school and to aid unfunded students. Miss Rachel Fuller, who has been a member of the church for more than fifteen years, stated: "There has been a dance here where white people attended. Who ever wrote to the AFRO concerning eregistration at a dance was certainly not from Maryland. There is not a white person attending. Other persons were unanimous in the remarks that the Catholics of Ellicott City had made it possible for the colored congregation to be the only person permitted. Other persons found it necessary to go to Catonsville or elsewhere. The fact that an Annual Lawn Fete the reporter's attention. Affairs given by the colored congregation are well organized by the whole group, it was said. Side Door Non-members of the Catholic church interviewed by the representative of the AFRO all seemed to feel that there was some form of separation between them. One person stated that while she had seen both races entering and leaving by the front door during big events, it was her understanding that the race was for the white communicants, and was for the white communicants, and a side door was for the colored.

Lady Attendants at Both Offices “ALL WAYS” BALTIMORE’S BEST DENTISTS ST. LOUIS, Mo., (ANP.)—Detective Sergeant Ira L. Cooper was elevated to Lieutenant, along with five white detective sergeants. Lieutenant Cooper has been on the police force for twenty-four years and has made an enviable record. Especially was he adept in the most of the most dangerous crimes, many of the category of "unsolved mysteries." His heroism is legendary here and he has been a pride of the police department. One of the latest accomplishments of this officer and breaking up of the kidnapping ring here, a month ago. These cases preyed upon book-makers and others who used the get-rich-quick methods of amassing wealth. The kidnapping which led to the arrest of the leaders of the gang, was that of Jacob Hoffman, a book-maker, who was being held for ransom. Lieutenant Cooper, not only found Hoffman, who was being held in a house of punishment, but discovered that he was responsible for the kidnapping and arrested the three ring-leaders. This feat attracted nation-wide attention, as this gang had proved a menace to the police department and the citizens at large. The fact they were able to kidnap citizens, hold them for ransom and the police caused much distress of the police department was on the verge of being a laughing-stock of the community, as far as the gang of criminals was concerned. Lieutenant Cooper was assigned to the case and a few days later, raided the gangsters' lair and brought them to the office. He also solved several minor cases and bank and payroll robberies.

Jennson, who has a sense of humor well as the ability to persuade blue hair from a trumpet, gave the two birds the kind of call (or scare) in a lifetime. seated himself on the side of the hatch and proceeded to laugh to his heart's content. The temporary team of Martin and Merstein was rendered speechless. The only window led to an air shaft, so they were forced to walk and see whether or not the man was hysterical or crazy. Friend wife immediately began explaining but was halted by a wave of the jolly husband's hand. Johnson was having the time of his life and suggested that the three of them get together and write a song to celebrate. The reclining pair still not so sure of all suspense but were soon relieved of all suspense by hubby's encouragement that he had no intentions of getting rough. Twenty-five Spectators To the amazement of about twenty-spectators who had been awakened by the general commotion, Johnson made the embarrassed Jewess do an entertaining dance with her golden locks serving as a not very adequate costume. Johnson who is a roamer at the same address, had been away for two days and friend wife had an urge to compose a song, so she claimed. Martin was the only one around who could help her, and since they were interested in each other in a professional way, she sat in front of him and should not undress and relax in bed while comparing notes on rhythm, of what you have. Friendly Pats Friend husband nodded his approval and to show his broad-mindedness, donated her to Martin with his good wishes in the bargain, not, however, until he had given her several far from friendly pats on her nude body. When asked by a news reporter who lives in the same house and who was a witness of the entire scene, why he struck his wife, John, when he underestimated my intelligence, and not because I was jealous. When further questioned about how he knew where to find her said, "That was easy. I knew he that she was failing his songs. He new numbers to her even before the music was put on paper." 2066 a Famous House Hearing about the numerous and unusual happenings of the famous rooming house at the AFRO reporter moved in and was almost immediate- ly received the story and inside information concerning the six high school boys, each held in $10,000 and participated in several holdouts and robberies. All this happened in the very shadow of the 123rd Street street, but, officers from the 32nd unit, in 133th Street made the arrests. 3,000 BROOKLYNITES JEER DR. PROCTOR 3,000 BROOKLYNITES JEER DR. PROCTOR Congregational Minister Excoriated for Statement in White Paper CALLED TRAITOR Rev. Thomas S. Harten Leads Mass Indignation Meeting BROOKLYN, N.Y.-In a meeting in which 3,000 jammed Kismet Temple while 10,000 stood on the outside clamoring for admission, the name of Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor, pastor of the Nararene Congregational Church, flaed, jeered and hissed for an allusion to white paper attributed to him Monday. Dr. Proctor, although asked to attend and explain his position, failed to appear. Followed Interview The tempest which culminated in the meeting Monday night started three weeks ago when Dr. Procter gave out an interview to a local paper in which he is quoted as saying: "The colored folk go into white persons homes as domestic servants and they their disease and crime with them." May Sue Paper That a group of citizens may sue the Brooklyn Daily Press, white, the paper which carried the interview with Dr. Proctor on March 1, was in question. The Afro Protective League announced that a number of servants had already lost their jobs as a result of the statement which the paper carried. This organization also stated that the minister may be informed that the reporter who interviewed the minister was from Georgia. Guard Pastor So high has been the tension and feeling against the Nazarene Congregational pastor, that policemen in uniform and plain cloats detectives have been on duty at the church on Sundays and at the home of Dr. Strong Feelings That the big mass meeting at Kismet Temple was characterized by strong feeling against Dr. Proctor was evidenced that the lone man to speak in behalf of the subway was forcibly elected. He was the Rev. Frank Holmes who rose in the audience to declare that a letter from a representative of the Brooklyn Daily Times in which the interviewer stated that the Proctor employees carried disease and crime into the home of their white employers, but that he said that he was fearful that such a condition would develop if certain vicious elements which was creeping into the community got con- "Gistiotum Pisodonum."

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, March 29, 1930 Evangelist Becton to Clean Harlem with Religion WOMAN INJURED AT SUNDAY PARTY FOR WOMEN ONLY NEW YORK. — Whatever germs live in Harlem had better watch out, for the Rev. G. Wilson Becton and his wife are here holding religious services at Salem M.E. Church, and how. Harlemites who saw him drive up to the church door in a 1930 Buick was born at What Lies a step out with gloves and a cane called him a new edition of Mayor Jimmy Walker, because he appeared to be such a sport. Orchestra Stranded He told the Sunday morning congregation that he is here to help the preachers of New York to clean up Harlem and disinfect it with religion. Monday evening of last week he took up a collection of letters he christened on the road on the way here from Texas, Eventually the orchestra arrived. The Rev Mr. Beckton is a sensational evangelist and besides his wife carries with him a group of musicians which is known as the Gospel Feast Party. In St. Louis two years ago the Baptist Ministers Union heard charges that condemned the Rev M. Beckton for which is known as the Gospel Feast Party. In St. Louis two years ago the Baptist Mission Union heard charges that condemned the Rev. Mr. Becton for preaching heresy and calling the congregation together in Tabernacle Baptist Church to remain a night for the Rev. Becton. The Holy Ghost that as a result several members were reported to have received the Holy Ghost and danced as a result. Solicited Consecrated Dimes Pastors there also condemned his practice of soliciting "conservated" dimes and manifest blessings would follow. He was also accused of giving our crosses and blessing them. Gospel keys were sold for two dollars. In his sermon, the Rev. Mr. Becton said: "If wife and husband prove untrust and worthless, let not that condition cause you to drift away from the church. Give your dine for seven days and nights that God will change things in His time. "At the close of the designated time, the church collection. It will surely happen." Arrested in St. Louis The Rev. Mr. Becton was arrested also in St. Louis two years ago charged with disorderly conduct by a lady member of his congress. He asked her he asked "all those who were satisfied with their present way of living will please stand up. This lady member of the audience did stand up, whereupon the preacher went to her and took her by the arm and otherwise personally urged her to stand. She claimed she was humiliated. The court, however, said she was not guilty. The Rev. Mr. Becton denies dancing in the pulpit and advises his critics to read the 130th Psalm. "Of course," he said. "I never stand in the pulpit." A problem is that the church has drifted so far from its original idea until what I do seems amorthodox." Three years ago Evangelist Becton filed suit against Miss Rosa I. Edwards, the alleged sought to blackmail him. According to Miss Edwards who was formerly a Mrs, Brooks, the Rev. Mr. Becton made a joint St. Louis several years ago. Four years ago, she said he promised to marry her and on the strength of his promise she had inaugurated a divorce, but heard no more from him until two years ago when he showed up in St. Louis a brand new wife from Brooklyn. Mrs. Becton A Spiritualist The present Mrs. Becton before her marriage, was Madam Bufford, a her marriage was Mada New York spiritualist, In Richmond the Bectors were severely scored by the Rev. Charles Morris who open his book with braided and branded the evangelist as being in league with fortune tellers for money. e z y d s h e o t r Hotel Olga NEW YORK CITY—Guest registered at Hotel Olsa last week were: Pittsburgh—John Early, D.

Mr. Darrow said, "Do Hoover says all laws must be enforced. Surely, he says, all Americans must agree. Why do you demand to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment? Because he doesn't dare. That's why. Try that, and we would have another civil war on our hands." "What about the Eighteenth Amendment? It doesn't mean a damned thing. Repeal the enforcement act and do you want to question it? Do you want big a joke as the Fifteenth Amendment is. You never heard of Congress pass the Fifteenth Amendment did you?" "You never hear your old Doc Wickersham talking about the FF. You can't say not. Yet there is a part of the Constitution that is stepped upon, spat upon and kicked in the face every time the injustice and wrong of millions of citizens. Who does anything about that? Gods and little fishes, how I do hate hypocrisy and hypocrites. They can call me every damned thing they please, but there is one thing they can't call me and that is a hypocrite." NEW YORK—The brief in behalf of Negro voters, excluded from the Virginia Democratic primaries by rule of the state Democratic Central Committee, is now being prepared for submission to the United States Court where the case is to be heard on appeal. The case known as West vs. Bliley, has been won in federal court for James O. West, the voter who brought the suit, and is being appealed by the white Virginia authoritarian, nary secretary of state, brief, preparation of Alfred E. Cohen, and Joseph R. Follard, attorneys, of Richmond, Virginia, has been submitted to the national legal committee of the NAACP, who govern over all by that committee, especially by its chairman, Arthur B. Spingarn and by James Marshall, whose father supervised preparation of the case in its earlier stages. The case is like similar ones being billed under GEP, in Texas, Arkansas and Florida. If the Supreme Court should uphold the recent decision of the Federal district Court of Virginia, a court of federal origin would have been struck against the white primary system in the South. Not only will it be unlawful for state legislatures to exclude Negroes from primary elections, but also White Primary case (Nikon v. Herron); but state party committees would be similarly prohibited from attempting such exclusion by "ruling" or by "color qualifications for party members." N.A.A.C.P.

Lansdowne 20,000 IN NEW YORK PASS FOR WHITE 20,000 IN NEW YORK PASS FOR WHITE Rudolph Fisher, Author-Physician, is Speaker at Boston Club DRAMA IN NEGRO Genius of Future to Find Material Ability (Carroll News Service) BOSTON, Mass. — Dr. Rudolph Fisher, acting superintendent of the International Hospital and author of "The Walls of Jericho," made a brief analysis of the Negro race as a field for literary efforts, Saturday, following the luncheon at the Hotel Brunswick, which concludes the 30th annual meeting of the New England Association of Teachers on English. Dr. Fisher declared that: "The drama that lies hidden in the qualty of the Negro's hair and the variously named degrees of skin pigmentation with writing genius." Then there will be written the drama of a people unable to find beauty in themselves." Correct Standards He said that "the correct standards in physical appearance to the Negro are the white man's standard. This is the reason for his demand for skin bleaches and hair straighteners. He has diversified ancestors of the Negro, the term American Negro is almost meaningless. From his beginnings in Africa, where tribes were so numerous and different, to his 400 years on the continent, Negro appear more the result of an environment group than a biological one. Everybody Is Different "Perhaps the leading characteristic of the American Negro is his physical diversity, and this in itself is a storehouse of material for the master writer. A walk down Lenox Avenue may be seen Negroes in every type of form, feature and color. "Tragedy as it relates to the Negro possessing a skin has been much of the focus of the novel. "A light skin is many times an asset. It often enables an individual to go where he pleases, mingle with whom he will, choose his work and advance in life, and in the film. It is largely false that the Negro is always longing to get back to natural Negro ways. Many have killed themselves rather than go back to some place in New York, it has not been able to resist the temptation to pass for white." Lawyer Killed at Crossing GARY. Ind.-Fritz W.

The organization of labor unions among all groups THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER A judge in Georgia shot a Negro and killed him and the juryought inbound, but a witness unfailable himself. When it is known that the judge went after the Negro and the Negro was attempting to defend himself, it will be plain to everyone that justice has one eye open for color in Georgia. In his anxiety to stick close to the ancient rules of a modern church, the Rev. John W. Robinson, president of the Hatem League of Churches, made a ridiculous statement last week. New York church-going people of both races planned a social evening four times a year at which dancing would constitute a part of the program. Acked his views on the innovation, Dr. Robinson said in effect that the church does not approve of interracial or other dancing, and many members of the Harlem League of Churches think that it is sinful and contrary to Christianity. No one questions the truth of these statements, but even the truth can not get together at the communal table can, as a preliminary thong, mingle socially, should the church object, even indirectly? Dr. Robinson had a chance to say a fine word for the encouragement of young people and promotion of liberation in religion; but he muffed it and said this. “There is a place in the church for all sane, healthy activities of young people. You cannot expect to turn the recreation and amusement of the youth over to organized commercial interests today and wake up tomorrow with a militant Christianity, crusading for righteousness and to encourage that, too, would be truth. Mr. Dyer's Defense "You have no excuse for your statement," writes Representative L. C. Dyer, white. (Rep. Mo.) referring to an editorial in the AFRO-AMERICAN of March 15 which said that in his seventeen years in Congress representing a district largely colored, Mr. Dyer had nominated white boys only for West Point and Annapolis. As evidence of our error Mr. Dyer sends a copy of telegrams dated October 22, 1929, to Professor Frank Williams, principal of the high school, Judge J. H. Joseph Mitchell, and Mr. Arguis, of all St. Louis, urging them to help him find nominees for the military and naval academies. He received no replies. In addition, he quotes from a letter dated March 3, 1930, to the Rev. James Dames, St. Louis, in which he says, "I was during my service in Congress denied the fullest opportunity to all the boys of my Congressional District for these appointments. I have tried especially a number of times and have gone out of my way, in doing so, to try to secure colored boys to make application for these appointments." The AFRO said that Mr. Dyer had nominated two men, Mr. Arguis and concern feels with the instances in which he tried and failed to secure colored candidates. The AFRO did not say that Congressman Dyer did not try, but that he did not succeed, and the result is that he has appointed no colored boys to Annapolis to appointees and no candidates to nominates nothing in our editorial of March 17. On the other hand, it explains his failure in part, and indicates that he has not the full cooperation of his constituents. It should be mentioned that Mr. Sullivan should be sent out at the end of a seventeen-year service and several months after Congressman Oscar DePrieles and nominated Negro boys for both Annapolis and West Point one of whom he has actually attended at the Military Academy. The Reds are Right Prosecuting the Communists for interracial activities in Atlanta, Georgia, last week, State's Attorney Harrison, white, declared: "Putting the Negro with 300 years of evolution on an equal basis, with the white with an evolution of 2,000 years is like putting a three-year-old child in a class with a 20-year-old and expecting the former to keep up." Loose talk and looser thinking in our own country is responsible for the race problem. Mr. Harris said that all white folks are adults in modern civilization. He doesn't know that many of the whites in New York, Baltimore and Atlanta, lived. even 50 years ago, under conditions of poverty, dirt and ignorance equal to and exceeding those surrounding darkest Africa. A second assumption is that he is that all that america in this modern world. Yet the facts are that what all the world is today rests upon the foundations of civilization laid by Negroes in Egypt, Carthage, Arabia, Persia, and all that ancient world fronting on the Mediterranean world. Mankind is of one source, though of many colonies, but older than another, for all have a common origin. The reason why an Irish farmer with one coat and a Russian farmer who has never had a bath can come to America and in a quarter of a century have become a national hero because America is willing to accept these backward on an equal basis with those who have had greater opportunities. If all kinds of equality are good for the foreigner, the Irish, the hovels of Russia, the slums of England and many another God-forsaken corner of the universe, why should the Negro permit any man to say it is not good for him too? No, he ridicule and hate the Communists. But no Negro, however conservative, can afford, without deliberation, to take part in any anti-Communist program, for this reason if other: namely, not since the Abolitionists of 175 years ago has any organised movement against the Negro, a comrade and brother without apology and without segregation. The Communist party has Negro representation in the Congress of the Attempts for the Are the Medics Ready to Work Now? The National Medical Association's appeal to the U.S. Public Health Service for a share in the National Negro Health Week makes necessary several questions. Week celebrations have been fostered by the National Negro Business League, for a quarter of a century. Has the medical association been asleep all this time? Is the medical association only willing to come in show support of the Negro Health Service has approved of the work of the league? Does the association want a share and a part of the responsibility of the celebrations, or does it want a mere mention in the pamphlets being distributed? Week was inaugurated by Booker T. Washington, president of the National Negro Business League, in 1900, because there was no existing health agency fostering it. The medical association, five years older than the league, occupied itself with other matters. How did the health agency to work, what objection has the association against going to the league and making its proposition there? Murderous Cops Ballimore police killed their eight victim in six years last week when Officer Herman Trautner, whiler, shot Yates, an unarmed man, seeking to arrest. Five others had been killed by policemen in fifteen years previously. As a result of these thirteen shootings, only one policeman has been killed. Policemen are provided with revolvers to defend their lives and the lives of others. A policeman who cannot arrest an unarmed man without killing him, has no business on the force. Even when a revolver becomes the last recourse, a bullet in the arm, leg or shoulder is enough to halt even a criminal. The trouble is police brutality in Baltimore has gone as far as some people are going to stand. And women are usually willing to be arrested but not clubbed by police. This is especially true to those persons who are engaged in a more wary brawl. Of the eight men killed, five have been murdered by police of the Charles Laster district, admitting to the attack by Charles Laster. As the AFRO has repeatedly pointed out, the difference between the conduct of Baltimore police in the Northwestern district and the Southeastern district is the difference between right and wrong. If police can be gentlemen in southeast Baltimore, they can be gentlemen in the northwestern part of the city. Every unnecessary drop of blood shed by murderous police we place at the doors of, first, Captain Laster who is responsible for killing his own men. Police Commissioners who permits Captain Laster continue his policy of "shoot first, investigate and explain later." AfroReadersSay: Readers may write on any subject they like.

FERNANDIS President, Co-operative Women's Civic League. Stores Which Sell Us. To the Editor: Bloomstein's store on 195th Street, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, New York City, which makes most of its money out of Negroes, has decided to put on doormen and elevator men for the organization, here are pressing them for it and many are assuming the responsibility for it. To my way of thinking, a store which makes men out of Negroes, ought to have clerks and people in every capacity. New York. L. P.

My view of the band at one of our churches in Atlantic City, N.J., is that some people are the foundation really living the Christian life. Others are corrupt. Living in adultery, gambling on numbers, drinking liquor, etc. The good members keep all that filth in the band they shouldn't stand for it. A READER. Atlantic City, N.J. _____ An Answer to Anti-Bible's Letter, in the Forum Recently. Sir Walter Scott, before he died, asked someone to bring him "the book." What book? He asked, "What is it?" In it they found consolation, like millions of others are finding today. It has been read, misunderstood and criticized, and still it is so intertwined in our lives that we cannot escape it. ARCHIE R. SMITH Opportunity Presents But One But To the Editor: I can see hundreds of men out of work now talking about the chance they once had and the need to stand up and stand against the employment offence every morning, wishing for the opportunity to come again. But opportunities present themselves but also another way we can help ourselves is to support our own grocers and cut others. We have the power to help people rise up in race and by doing this we don't have any idea how many people of our race it would give employment to. A READER. Doctors Who Believe They Can Do Withfulness Advertising Are Fifty Years Behind the Times. To the Editor: Our service, as the millions of dollars spent annually must return increased volume of business and sales. doctors can effectively advertised, it would not be doctors either ultimately to sift the wheat from the chaff. In other words the good doctor will stand out, the quack, faker and pretender will stand out, the illusionist will secure its full recognition and honest and capable physicians would richly profit by such a change. The "bull shooter," and "full of bull" doctor, the abortionist, the dope and liquor dispenser, the charge, run and a "run-out" doctor, the promotion of black and benefit certificate writer, the ecbolic and emmenagogic drugs dispenser, the lecherer, "telephone and spontaneous" diagnostician, the "shot shooter" for every imaginable form of disease, present or absent, the surgeon who operates when there is sufficient fee but no path-way in place of promiscuous fee splitters and percentage physicians, bluffers, fakis, etc., will pass out. It will take many years for the medical profession to realize the value of advertising, but compared to the hospital clinics with the internet, drug stores, patient medicine companies, quacks, etc., will either force the profession to compete along economic lines or to be forced from the equation.

How Unions Operate to Keep Colored Workers out To the Editor: The A.F. of L. declares that it exists among other reasons to abolish race distinctions among workers in the hospitality of some unions they have reason to doubt it. For instance, local 70' of the upholsters still refuses to let a colored man named Jones gets even temporary work under the hospitality of a white worker to join the union and has been excluded solely because of his color, cut off from his trade, deprived of his living. So the general officers neither of the upholsters nor of the A.F. of L have brought any effective moral pressure to bear. They deny they have legal power. There has to be an excuse. To exclude Jones from the union is to invite Negroes to hate the labor movement and to fly to the service of the poor, would more derogate to labor than for Negroes to line up with the employers because of affairs like the Jones case? Fortunately, the uneasy situation, the monitors, the workers, others have a better record on this matter of race discrimination. But in it: minds of Negroes a few Jones cases will make more noise than a better record in other unions. New York City. NORMAN THOMAS. The Spirits of Halian Heroes Still Live in the Country They Liberated. The spirit of L'Overture still stalks in Haiti? Toussaint L'Overture and Jean Jacques Dessau freedom, set up a standard for their people. With a crude and unfortunate black mass, they moulded a thunderbolt and crushed the flower of Europe's democracy. The Haitians do not have to prove their ability to govern themselves. That has already been established; it is therefore safe to conclude, that the Haitians have to give a large part in America's military intervention. Haitians are saying with that ancient sage—Confucius, "I love righteousness, I love life, I love freedom, I love up life." Get out of Haiti and leave her alone to run her own government as she has so successfully done; coursing through the swamps of Nassau and the Caribbean; and the American Negroes should rise in their might at the injustice done Haiti. Philadelphia, Pa. J. HAMPTON BAILEY. DEATH, THE OLD SCYTHE MAN Some day it may be bitter, or it may be sweet. When Death old scythe man, comes after and mows. You down, lingers a moment, beats a quick retreat; that day it may be near, it be far, none knows Save God, the Great Creator, all-wise, Just and Led by that fighting minister, the Rev. Thomas S. Harten, pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church in Brooklyn, 3000 men and women crowded Kisner Temple to vent their anger. The Rev. H. P. Noster of Nazarene Congregational Church for declaring that "the colored folk go into white persons" homes as domestic servants and they carry their disease and crime why Brooklynies are so "heft up" over this statement, we fail to see, unless it is because of the veiled accusation that Dr. Proctor was making it as bait for white philanthropy to help in his church. Even here, it would rest on whether Doctor Proctor was TELLING THE TRUTH. He might have said the same thing about white domestics who work in more exclusively placed homes, but the principle of germ transmission might have remained Down in Memphis, Tennessee, several years ago, this writer, working in the department of municipal social survey, came from a little side alley to the home of a chauffeur and from there back across town to the home of a young woman who turned to tool work while white residential section where it killed an eight-year-old child. Consider the "Lung Block" which existed until recently in Northwest Baltimore. More recently, a germ from this breeding ground found its way not only to exclusive white, but exclusive colored residences of the city a time. On the question whether or not the breeding whether or not the breeding was selfishly appealing for dollars by making a statement damaging to domestic servants, we make no comment. If his statement was based on such such condemnation of his fellow townmen. Anyway, the fact that domestic servants, forced by low wages and bad living conditions, may and do become germ carriers often, is demonstrated by the quicker the exclusive white as well as exclusive colored people learn that germs do not recognize conventional lines of demarkation between well-to-do and poor, they will help to clean up and improve the health of conditions where there will be germ breeding places nowhere. Haiti Emerging Dominant in the Negroid World When less than half a century ago the empire of Japan emerged suddenly as one of the five great world powers, it arose as leader of the Mongolian peoples and as the first colored race to wrest first rate recognition of white civilization in modern age. At this very moment, when the five great powers of the world are sitting in conference on what weapons they shall use in their next world war, Japan sits in to speak for the yellow world. She sits in that conference, not by any good graces of England, France, Italy and these United States of ours, BUT BECAUSE HER GUNS SHOT WITH DEADLY EFFECT IN THE RUSSIAN WAR. Recent events in Haiti indicate that the descendants of Toussaint LOverture may become in this or the next generation the spokesmen for the Negro world, for they will have the best organized official mouthpiece through which to speak. It would seem that the American Negro, thrown, as he is, in touch with the seething progress of this country, would dominate the development of the millions of darker people, especially in Africa and the tropical seas. But it must be frankly confessed that there is at present nothing to indicate that the American group will have any deep-seated influence on either Africa or the islands of the seas. Even Liberia, calling itself a republic, and situated on the rim of the Gulf of Mexico, has in natural resources in the world, has imbibed the paternalistic beegar role on the one hand and high-hatism on the other, to produce the fighting leadership of which virile races of men emerge. If Haiti is worn out of shell of frothy European civilization, build from the ground up a new government. If the government she bids fair to become one of the leading republics of the world. Unlike the American Negroes, the Haitians have a French heritage and who developed a "help-us" complex in every institution of their civilization, the Haitians fought for their freedom, and have the power to come in front of pride in conquest. measure, they have "tasted white blood" and would not mind tasting it again. May one of the great white nations could wipe the little republic off the map is beside the point. No nation wants to start anything with another nation, however small. FIGHT OUT TO THE END. It was the fact that the populace of the republic was fast coming to the point where they intended to make a try at wining out the American regime, but that caused the government to decide on doing something. The general policy that must be formed in dealing with small governments which come under the Monroe doctrine, the government to decide WHAT THEY WANT. And out of it all may come a strong Haitian people who will stop fighting among themselves and develop a deep sense of patriotism. The glory of Japan lies in her intense patriotism. There is not any whatever among the Nipponese who shadows the interest of the nation as a whole. If Haitians can wipe out their own foolish color prejudice together with its selfish devotion to the dominance overlords and amalgamate their social, educational and industrial lives on a common level, their leadership, among the colored races, of "Born To Be" Taylor Gordon's Autobiography Deals with Many Things Not Originally Mentored in Polite Society. By BILL HOWARD BUDD "Ho, Ho, I wonder what I was born to be?" chirps Taylor Gordon, falsetto singer extraordinary of spirituals, in his autobiography ("Born to Be") published recently by Covici Friede, New York. And well he might, for in the twenty-six years since he was paged for Big Maude in a palace of joy Springs, Montana, he has gone far. Mr. Gordon has been boy in a boulder, full-time caffeeer, full-time culinary, vice deocrone, valet, bootlegger, bricklayer stevedore, lounge lizard for that wives' wive, elevator man, and singer, and has accumulated a rich store of experiences in reality, to his readers. Amorous adventures with women of both races, still leave him keeping bachelor's quarters. He has sung in the large concert halls of Johnson America with Rosmond Johnson as accompanist, and is still a favorite Here is a man who mingled with all types of life, swapping hands with the other, being thrown into contact with royalty, wining and dining with Carli. He was also sharing with Florence Mills and Josephine Baker, and meeting various Harlem "drags" at the ballroom. The author recalls a rehearsal of the New York Clef Club, which Will Marion Cook was conducting. He had just had his hair straightened, having been told that such was the mark of the "big timer," but the treatment did not take, burning his head and turning his hair a burnt red color. Loses Clef Club Job The singers were rehearsing "The Rain Song," one morning, and Mr. Gordon tells: “I had never sung with any group since school days when we all sang in unison. The Clef Club men knew Cook's music backwards, and we were sailing along until I got up on a high note and forgot to come down. Cook turned into a wild man—pulled his hair, stomped and cussed all over the place. He frightened me to death. I got my hat and coat and started out the door. The last words I heard him say were: 'No man can be a Negro if he sings my music wrong.'” Mother Zion Doesn't Pay With Rosamond Johnson, he sang at a rally at "Rev. Brown's" 128th Street Church for a price agreed upon at 10 per cent. I never got a dime until this day, He sang on Salem M. E. Church choir for the musical experience. He sat silk after he had sold everybody silk underwear. In Florida. In Florida, as vater to John Ringling, of circus fame, Gordon's sweet Starting Anywhere, Heflin Always Gets Back to Us Starting Anywhere, Heflin Always Gets Back to Us Alabama Congressman Begins on Communists and Ends on Social Equality and Judge Cobb. (From the Congressional Record) Mr. HEFLIN. I have read some of the articles on the subject being prescheduled around now. Thus I have seen it is a devilish doctrine. One of the things I teach is that the dead line pertaining to social marriage relations should be abolished. Race pride and purity and the protection of the great white race is an important part of the American Republic. God Almighty had a purpose in making the white man superior to every other race unjustified. Mr. WHEELER, Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. HEFLIN. I will. Mr. WHEELER. Is not the Senator mistaken? Was not that the doctrine of the Republican Party during the Jays of reconstruction? If I recall correctly, that was the doctrine preached by Thaddeus Stevens and Charles Sumner and some other leaders of the Republican Party. Mr. HEFLIN. It is true that a few of the leaders at that time did attentively listen to what I was speaking about now, and what I particularly had in mind, was the devilish doctrine of the communities who have invaded the world long ago, one of them made a speech at Charlotte, and he said that they must wipe out the line in all things and have social equality—a dangerous and a damnable doctrine. Mr. Lincoln said in his debate with Douglas that he opposed to making voters or jurors of Negroes. I am opposed to marriage between Negroes and whites. He said further: "I place remains together there must be the position of the superior and the inferior, and I, as much as anyone else, will white occupy the Mr. President, I understand that just this morning the Senate committee judged for the District of Columbia named Cobb. I opposed his appointment before when he was appointed to the Senate, the Senator from South Carolina (Mr. Blease), when he made his objection, said, "I ask the Senate to nominate me, the Senator from South Carolina, the President pro tempore, replied, "The nomination goes over, which meant it would not be allowed." I have learned since that time that the nomination was put through latters, and I have been told that five other Senators near me at this side, were opposed to his confirmation. I voted against it before, when I was asked to vote for Mr. WHEELER. Mr. President, I was not here, and I do not know anything about the judge about whom he was nominated. Was he a judge of a federal court? Mr. HEFLIN. He was reappointed by Mr. Hoover. I am told that President Wilson appointed a Nergo judge here while he was in the White House. I was asked to stand for the United Nations standing was that that Nergo was to try only Negroes. If this Nergo is to be judge in the District of Columbia, he must confine his jurisdiction to the United States. The United Nations appointment, as I understand it. Now, getting back to this communiqué, I am reminded of some literature, and I have heard of some of them-saying in their speeches "Down with the Government and to hell with the Governance of the UN." He said further: heart was a copper-colored brown- skinned girl whom he threatu threat to lay off or he would be gnounced. The threat was written by a white bank Gordon's comment was: "All these peekerswomen (whites) run with black gals when they can get their look at a white woman, and they'd kill me for entertaining a brown one." How Success Started Gordon's public success started with the Carl Van Vechten, when the 89th Street apartment. Hewood Brown Gordon says, mixes cocktails by the tub and is known to receive guests in shirt sleeves lying before the fireplace on the floor. Dickies Says Gordon: "Dickies' colored people do not spend enough time spreading the cultured information they have gained to their neighbors and my people. . . . I will say that in developing themselves as a group, we are no damn good. Condemn the book for its frankness (and I am inclined to believe he has exaggerated it).

Chips from the Quarry Canon E. N. Gowing, rural dean of Southend, Essex, England, told in a sermon at St. Mary's Church, Southend, how in getting on a tramwaycar he once bumped his head badly and "said a small word beginning with a very small d." Women in the car said, "Oh fancy that and he's a parson!" Canon Gowing said that a person no longer needs a hypothetical cause to church on Sundays. Sweater was better to get it, or at once.

There Are No Restraints, No Economic Independence or Established Social Circles. Brooklyn is a Different and Remoted as Philadelphia. By KELLY MILLER That bedarkened rectangular slice of New York City, known as Harlem, is the product of slavery. Why then the New York Negro made little impression in public attention except the contingent that lived in Brooklyn. Those few on the west side of the East River were so distributed and divided that one could not find enough of them in any one place to survey any work. Why much of the Negroes of Washington, Philadelphia, Boston and Cleveland, but never a word about New York. Harlem is purely an immigrant community. The original New York Negrito community indeed the Brooklyn colony is as remote in temper and temp from its Harlem counterpart as if they were in Brooklyn and other burroughs which constitute no part of its so-called New Negroes. But fewer Negroes in 1920 than Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago or Baltimore. And yet we hear little of the group compared with the fame of Harlem which has filled the whole world. Upon what meat has this little group fed that they have grown so great? The New Negro is a Harlem Product. The new Negro is a Harlem product. He has been drawn there from all the ends of the land and from other cities to himself. No publisher would dream of risking the issuance of a descent of the Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia Negro. But scores of volumes are rolled from the press descriptive journals of Harper Heaven. The public seems near to despair in recounting of his innumerable antics. Here for the first time that the Negro has a friendly environment which encourages him to speak out and express his views or intimidation. Boston was a tough place, crushed out all outpourings of native Negro genius with its duster coat, and crushed him back on the poverty of his culture. Philadelphia became selfless with being a carbon copy of the old Negro, and timore was absorbed in the old time domesticities, while Chicago was too busy packing pork. Negro a Stranger to New York's Forgiveners. He the Negro is not at all. He the Negro exposed to new environment. New York is the fun center of the theater, the funfairers are neither native nor foreign. Puritanical notions and intolerant race prejudice. They are Irish, Jew, Russian, Pole, South European. To dance with human beings, with intimate human touch, with moral and grimice / He sings a new song never heard before. He dances with men and shouts in his chest and sings and shouts in his chest that none can equal. His mode and his own. He adds to the repertoire, the jazz, the jubilee and the blues. Go to. they say, here is a mind of health which if properly exploited will be the formers and fortune to the promoters. So they take the street loafers, like Eirginia, Eirginia and Richmond, gift to the native endowments and send them back as actors, mimics and muches to fill the playful playhouses, the cities where they might have lived and died muted and inglorious. New Negro is a Dance, Singing Fool. Harlem originates nothing, but gives development and start to talent. He is the first new Negro to you might call a laugh, a dance, singing fool, if we might borrow the phrase from the rich and famous vole. He becomes ridiculous in vole. He begins to take himself too seriously. His excellence lies in his unconsciousness. When he undertakes consciously to portray himself he usually makes a flaço or a frigate. His novels, poems, and short stories portray himself in a troubled, tequile and bizarre. The magazines have opened wide their pages to Negroes in the race. The publishers, mainly of the tribe of Judah, have welcomed Negro authorship after the Harlem race. One rarely finds in such writings any deep analysis or profound thought or serious reflection on bachaism and fraternity, but mainly frith and fraternity and frith. Harlemens are Free of All Restraints. The special Harlem Negro feels himself free from all restraints, religious, economic, political, social, and even ethical. The atheist, the agnostic, the Communist, the Bohsevist abound. But after all one does not find in Harlem economic independence. Industrial self sufficiency, established men and women of sustained positions above the level of domestic and personal service, the definite demeanor stated social ideals, upon which the stated stability and stability of human order depends.

Speaking of the urgent need of providing more care and protection for this class of girls, Mrs. Vickers declared: "We have ceased to ask the aid of outside organizations as then is too much red tape.

The chief obstacle in her path, she affirms, is the amount of these unfortunates are not Philadelphia girls, but those who come here from the South, and from small places.

All applying to him for positions, should be asked to take an oath or political beliefs. In Saturday morning's column he returns to the subject of: "Prejudice and Unemployment," and cites cases where the question of race matters. In the same column he is jobsless and depressing and found the name Brown a handicap in getting employment. I don't believe he must lie in changing my name.

He looked older than his 55 years, and his snow-white hair, falling carelessly over his temples gave him the appearance of one of the old patriarchs. Years ago, this man, who is now just a "hired" barber, owned one owned the most up-to-date shops in a southern city. With his wife, I gave him a happy gift; he had a happy gift; he saved his money, and dabbled a bit in real estate. Then, one day, the Grim Reaper stepped in and took his helpmen from his side. For many years, like many grief-laden persons, he took to alcoholic beverage for a solace and one drink called for another, or maybe three or four of them, as a result of the upramp off.

Lonely, living by himself, marriage offered a haven. So they were sealed at the Big Church, and they happily ever after. Hardly had this newly acquired spouse entered the house than she began finding fault. The furniture was out of date, this room was too old, and the walls were too colour-in fact, nothing suited her. The husband consented. "All right," she said, "while you are having the come renovated. It goes to be completed." So she left for a northern city. The work completed, the husband found that he had spent quite a sum of money. He had spent money was being made, he was not getting it. The day came for The Lady Who Married Him to return, and it was with great anticipation that he opened the telegram which the boy sent to him. It read, "BUT I AM NOT CATING BACK. HAVE A GOOD JOBS YOU CAN KEEP THE HOUSE FOR YOURSELF." Heartbroken and defeated, the man, who had sworn off from the Demon Rum, resumed driving, and he took the job that he now holds. Life held nothing more for him, and the chance to get away from old haunts was gladly accepted. The home that he had prepared long before terrible nightmare, every time that he saw it. When a real estate offered him $2,000 for it, he sold it gladly. And as a final chapter in this story, the other day and saw where his home had been sold for $3,000.

Afro Radio Hints A condition which much resembles fading is often caused by a temporary lowering of the battery strength. In the case of dry cells, a local action of the maintenance of the cell, causing a drop in the voltage and a correspondingly lowered volume of tone from the receiver. Though the cells often receive a low voltage, the filament current to the tubes will always restore the receiver to a satisfactory operating condition. The batteries, especially with those which have been long in service, the same condition sometimes occurs through what is known as "treening". A lead tree cell, which works through the separators until it touches plates of opposite polarity. The short circuit which results causes a lowering of current and voltage is lowered, the volume of the receiver is affected. This lowering of the battery voltage causes the short-circuit, generally burns off the tree and the battery is again restored to normality until size is correct, the tree again grows. In cases of this type, the fading effects are only momentary, recurring at fairly uniform intervals of time, covering all positions on the tunging scale.

More Tragedy And as if that were not enough tragedy for you I present the following contribution from A. E. White of New York: "Three years ago, he came to the house as a musician. In fact, he was one of the oldest players in the pit, as far as length of service in the house was concerned, and, incidentally, he was a good musician. He was the manager of the theatre had consulted him on other men who applied for jobs and always his advice would be his job. he told his wife that their troubles were over financially, for he had a life-time-job that is, according to the manager. Saving his money, he made his little pile grow until the day came when he on his wife could make a deposit on a home in the suburbs. Together, he made down and initial payment. He continued to pay on the house until it was nearly paid for. A steady, sober, a good man to have around, so unusual for a man in the theatrium." "A month ago, he was given notice by the director of the orchestra that he would be dismissed in the customary two week period, he had crashed down about his job in the worst season the theatrical world has experienced in years. He didn't believe it and went to the management about it. The manager confirmed that he was the musician, that night, went home, sick at heart. All night he brooded over the coming disaster and in the morning, his mind was a complete blank. Raving mad he was. His wife was hospitalized. Calling in a physician the wife wilted anxiously for the verdict. But the doctor only recommend removing the fellow to the hospital where he was placed under observation. His condition grew worse until he was removed to the insaneum where he is now, hopeful. "Each night, the director raises his hand to lead the orchestra in the overture, the mad man, someone, the time, raises an imaginary instrument and plays dashing numbers silently. His friends are amazed by his skills, but his friends who knew him in the theatre.

Jolley, announcer for the AFRO-AMERICAN Broadcasting System, speaking to you over Station A-F-R-O, the voice of News. So many requests have come to this station to have the music requested to discuss the various matters for our listeners. A card from Miss Mary Lewis, 440 E. Twenty-third Street, asking, "Is Irvine the new orchestra as good as the old one?" "Well, Miss Lewis, that is rather a peculiar question. First, the other orchestra was, at the time of its dispersing, that set up high standard for its successors. But coming down to the answer to your question. We say, no. The present outfit is as good as any in the city in some respects, and par with the old Royal Southerners. "Is it true that waltzing is the only national dance that is being executed in the same manner throughout the Miss Ada Vassells, 1530 Division Street, made this inquiry, Well, Miss Vassells, according to the Dance Teachers and Students magazine for this year, is the same. And the same journal reports that it is being danced more now than at any time in the past three years when the collegiate dances were in vogue. * * * * * Just received a telegram from George A. Diggs, 1530 Mount Street. It reads: "Please tell which orchestra in town is the best. I will be sure to thank the tumper. I am willing to say that they are all in the same category. But personally, I feel that Ike Dixon is the most popular at the present, with the Ambassadors next. Then follow Glasse and Irwin Hughes's statement on par with the aforementioned. These selections are made with no mention of the favorites of South and East Baltimore. In that section, Preston Duncans outfits the international, is the runner-up. These last two orchestras are popular, but do not dispense the type of music that has the closest harmony. They please a specific group, and what more is there to be done? But for real high level music, just keep your ears bucked. Telephone call from Miss Sadie Pitts, 1303 Druid Hill Avenue, requesting the name of the best club in the city of club Well. I would rather not incriminate myself by naming the hall I myself would choose. But since it is a club, why not use your awn judgment? MINE may be blamed. So that, friends of radio land, is the end of the request discussions coming from listeners. For the past half column you have been hearing H. J. Holley, chief announcer for this station, give his views on various requested subjects. If you do not agree with his selections, send in The Critic's Eye Now, if the listeners will patiently stand by, we will bring them a half column of "Critic's Eye" which is a bird's-eye view of the things seen by the announcer of the stair. Visited the stair, the university library led to the surprise of the announcer, learned that the skating there every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights has put the floor in such a condition that dancers are complaining. The management of the hall has made a mistake in skating with the ball and should be done with immediately before there is no floor at all left. Last Thursday, was passing the Odd Fellows' Hall when the strains of a waltz came in contact with my ears. On investigation, I learned that the Krat Orchestra rehearsing After leaving there, went to Penn Hotel to interview Samuel Keys on the dance hall situation, when strains of a hot tox trot trouch those appended to the dance hall, leaving three times a day. There was Irwin Hughes and his Southerners learning new and late tunes. That Thursday and every Thursday evening those two Odd Fellows ball and what a scrap they put up. The Regular Fellows gave their second joint dance last Wednesday at the Penn Hotel and Yo-YO dance. The inaugural part was for the new officers who, were elected a fortnight ago. The toy section was for the young men who feel as though they can give their best points on sleight-of-hand work. It was at as this dance that Wallace Craig, the comedy dancer, exhibited a few new and amusing steps. The Regular Fellows, using their efforts to reinforce dances in the city. Never did any cadet in the United States Army of Navy do the calisthenic exercises that many of the hop, skip and jump artists do in dance halls, stepping over every one else's pedies. If the management would request that the more severe jumpers fewer persons would complain of having their feet to bother with after being mashed attending a dance. Parade for! Nina Mae Seenes similar to those enacted twenty years ago when Jack Johnson returned to Chicago as the heavyweight champion, witnessed in the Windsy City Thursday morning in the LaSalle Street Station, when Nina Mae McKinney was welcomed to the city by his hush" was welcomed to the city by hundreds of admirers. The welcome was planned and organized under the direction of Mrs. Reginald Smith, president of the Mothers Association for Working Mothers With Children. Photographers and reporters from all the daily press reported on the train shed where she grant I interviews and posed for pictures. Behind the leadership of a special detail of motor vehicles, she escorted a parade line which escorted the star over the course of six miles to the home of Mrs. Smith, whose guiding presence accompanied by her mother came to Chicago to cooperate with the work of the Home Club Association, which during the next week, is sponsoring six of the annual behalf of the association's work. Roberts Loses Father William L. Roberts of Philadelphia, father of the New York musician 'Luckey' Roberts, died in New York last week and after lying in state in O'Cathay, Calif. He was the last rites and his body placed in a vault. Mr. Roberts was a well-known Philadelphiaian, having been one of the founders of the charity Mrs. Luckey Roberts came for him and took him to Edgecombe Sanitarium in New York where every solicitude was lavished upon him by his biographer Imagme to fill a group of important engagements of the season there. Mental derangement required his transfer to Bellevue to help him with widow, son, daughter-in-law and other relatives. MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY The Whole World Acclaims a Greater De Mille! To his triumphs of the past Cecil B. DeMille now adds the greatest of all—his first Talking Picture. It needed his directorial wizardry to show in its full force the power of the Talking Screen to give the world youth, song, gaiety, drama of an unforgettable kind. DYNAMITE Cecil B.

There is something strange about the number of dollars you not only on the individual but on the persons with whom that individual comes into contact. Put a hundred-dollar dress on a hundred-dollar-a-week stenog and to all purposes and intents she becomes a fifty-per-secretary, not only to herself but nine times out of ten to her boss also. Put a drab dress on an otherwise attractive girl and she becomes a fifty-year-old up in a frilly pink gingham, and immediately she gets a kittenish. Put mother's trailing gown on her six-year-old daughter and she sweeps along. For women, from the one toddling age to the other, live up to their clothes. And with all the logic that males lay claim to, they are the most easily fooled by a few glad rags. They are the ones who most generally judge a man. They are the judge of men going on the subject of the modern r. l. of 1830 and you'll find they have a regular credo about it. For instance, it is their opinion Soviet Ban on "Uncle Tom" GENEVA, (CNS)—Claiming that it is intolerable that Uncle Tom killed the Union soldiers, the semi-official newspaper, "Izvestia," of Moscow is demanding that the Soviet authorities ban the motion picture "Uncle Tom's Cabinet" played there.

The fact that skirts were long in 1919 after being short in 1918 and then became shorter and shorter through the success of skirts until 1920, skirts at all seemed imminent, seems to have nothing to do with the case.

"Make it snappy, my big Box," he complained, and who was climbing on the ring, "or you'll make me think you are afraid." Rod grinned easily. "Maybe I am," he suggested.

No rough stuff, see, or you'll maybe get a surprise, or what you know, and don't afraid to let loose your punches." He glanced at the watch he held in his hand, and suddenly called, "Time." Rod shuffled confidently toward Rod, who danced lightly away. The blond fighter sneered, then followed rapidly, jabbing tentatively at Rod's face. The bronzed youth, the muscular, the making Kelly's blow go wide of his mark. Kelly screwled, then rushed Rod to the ropes, pumping vigorously at his body.

We'll see what there is to you.'" KELLY TAKES A FLOP King's keen eyes narrowed, but he remained silent as Kelly, half crouching,救获芜嬜 at Rod. The latter, his eyes blazing, did not stop. Rod was in the form with a staccato shower of swift blows, taking in return a hard scratch to his jaw. For an instant the two men stood toe to toe, teasing furiously, forgetful of boxing skill, even on only beating the other to the floor. The furious mixup, and the unprecedented knockdown of Kelly had drawn most of the boxers in the crowd, and the two were fighting. They shouted advice to both men indiscriminately, and even struck each other in their enjoyment of the fierce glove swing. Then abruptly Kelly's knees sagged, his arm, dropped, and a dazed expression cept over his face. As he sank drunkenly toward the floor, foot landed on a crashing car, and Kelly's blood youth back on his heels, and to the canvas where he lay twitching, his less doubled under him. For an instant Rod stood regardless, then seeing that he was "out cold," picked him up and dragged him into one of the corners, where somebody had pushed a chair. Then Kelly was instant ofushed slice had swept over the crowd. Kling's voice was silently when he spoke. "By golly, I doove KO'd him sure as shoot. Why, that's the first time Kel's been in his life, what a sock you got!" ROD BEGINS HIS CAREER As Rod climbed out of the ring the other fighters crowded around him, slapping on the back, and When Pain Comes Two hours after eating. 1. What many people call indigestion often very means excess acid in the stomach. The stomach nerves have been overstimulated, and food sources. The corrective is an alkali, which neutralizes acids instantly. And it best alkali known to medical science is Milk of Magnesia.

He Shouted Hoarsely—Then Began Running Madly Toward the Vehicle you've made me know what kind of a fighter you are. He told the other fighters who surrounded him, then with a last glance at the corner where several men were working over the still unconscious Kelly, he followed King and the dressing room. The latter properly closed and locked the doors. "Say, cowboy," he asked, a trace of undermand, in his voice, "nay ye, never fought before in a ring? Honeys, are you now?" Rod asked himself impatiently by he should feel as he did. Had he not succeeded in holding his own since he had been in the city? Had he not won the fight of the team, beautiful girl he'd ever seen? And were his prospects for making money not the best? He shrugged his shoulders and, with subtle lessness, went to phone Lily again. After a short delay he got her. "Oh, Rod!" she exclaimed, "didn't Rod grinned, and felt his swollen jaw, tendrily. "No, Mr. Kling, I've never fought in a rise before, but to be truthful, I have boxed a lot. Maybe I didn't work on my own, but working on our ranch was Dandy O'Day, former welterweight champion, who was trying to regain his health by working out there in the open air. He taught me a lot, I guess. Kling whistled. "O'Day. eh? No wonder you know how to use your feet and hands, and the punch you get in your mits, we ought to clean up a bunch of dough. All I want you to do is follow out my instructions. You got to come out and get the newspaper guys can look you over. And though your wind may be all right, I want that you should get up early in the morning and trot a few miles. "OK, Mr. Kling. But I warn you that I'm only going to fight this summer. I want to go to school this fall. That's the only reason why I want to work. I get enough money to enter school." "You'll forget that, Cowboy," Kling assured him, "when you get your hands on some real cash. Just wait and see." PART II When Rod got home he found a message awaiting from Lyla. He was once, only to find that she was at at home. Restlessly he paced up and down his small room, while plans, thoughts, ideas swam through his mind in a confusing kaleidoscope. He wondered why Lyla would say what he knew, for that he had a sharp yearning for the quiet peace in the ranges. acid, and the symptoms disappear at once. You will never use crude methods when once you learn the efficiency of this. Go get a small bottle. Be sure to get the genuine Phillips Milk of Magnesia prescribed by physicians for 50 years, in correcting excess acidic 25c and 50c a bottle—not a bottle. PART II turned professional fighter. He was afraid that she would disapprove. Perhaps she would refuse to see him, even, when she knew about his n.w. profession. He asked himself what he would do in that case. But perhaps she wouldn't mind. Kiling had told him that he would be able to work in a deal of money in the ring as a fighter. Suppose he did? Then he would be able to own a. car dress well, and be the kind of oerson whom Lyla's friends would make enough money to go back out to Montana and buy a vast ranch which bordered on that of his father's. But that would mean leaving Lyla. He could never do that. And out there she himself. He put the idea from him with a rueful grin. No, she was a city girl, used to the luxuries of the city, and she would never consider going to live on a lonely But what about the Wolf? Would he continue to molest him? He was sure that the gangster would never be content to molest, possibly his heir, him. What should he be about it? Tell the police? That wouldn't do much good, he decided. The only thing for him to do would be to evade any traps the gangster or him by being very, very careful. The worried youth threw open one of his windows. It was early evening. Street lights glowed faintly and the warm magenta light creating in him a vague sense of melancholy, and Began Running Madly Toward vehicle Rod asked himself impatiently by he should feel as he did. Had he not succeeded in holding his own since he had been in the city? Had he not won the favor of the most beautiful he ever saw? And his prospects for making money not the best? He shrugged his shoulders and whistled tunelessly, went to phone again. After a short delay he got on. "Oh, Rodi!" she exclaimed, "didn't you get my message?" "Sure, but only an hour or so ago I'd been downtown." "What are you doing now?" "Within, to ask you if I can come over." "Well, why don't you?" mama. May I come over. Lily? "Yes, Rod, you may come over if you promise to come right away." you promise to come right away. "In five minutes." Rod promised recklessly, as he banged down the receiver, and brushed at himself on his coat. Then he dashed precipitately out of the house. Lyla was waiting for him. "Lo, Cowb!" she greeted him. Rod stared at her blankly. How could she have already heard of his ring name? "Cowboy!" he echoed. "Sure, you were wearing with that? You are a cowboy, aren't you?" LYLA'S OFFER REFUSED "Objection!" Rod agreed, relieved. He decided that he wouldn't tell Lyla of his contact with Kling just yet. "I'm anything you want me to be." "Thank you, kind sir!" the girl cooed mockingly. "Will you come in?" He looked up at the star sprinkled skin. "Gee, it's a swell night. Couldn't we go for a walk, Lyla." he legged. "Walt? Of course. Why not? Walt till? I get a wrap, and we'll just walk in. In a few minutes she rejoined him. Slowly they strolled along toward the lake. You have been doing since last night." Lyla demanded. Rod thought of his narrow escape from death at the hands of Wolf On. On nothing much, I cues," he bled. "I spoke to Daddy again this morning about a job for you." "Child, you mustn't," Rod demur- **pet:** "And besides I think I've got a fine job that landed." "That's great! What is it?" Lyla is eager. "Oh, just wait till you see," Rod cwaded. "Maybe I will make a! lot of money at the mall." "And then what, Rod?" "Oh—nothing—that is, I tell you you will." "Why not now?" Lyla persisted. "I think you ought to tell me things." "Sure I will, when we are. mar—that is, some of these days." **ROD LOSES LYLA** "What did you start to say?" "I forget." "Fribble!" "Who's a fibber?" "You are, Rod Herrick! A great big one!" "Just for that you've got to pay me!" "The street she deserted. The youth dye: the girl into this arms but kissed her brazenly. With mock negation she pulled away from bit." "You big brutal!" she cried. "Taking advantage of a little girl like me—and out in the street where anybody can see, too!" "Aw, there's nobody in sight, even," Rod "corrected.

Rod also faced the boulevard, but a line of sifftly moving automobiles deterred him. At length, he was able to make his way to the other side. Lyla was not in sight. He proceeded to the beach, where the location of the lake, but could not see her. A little afraid for her, he ran off the sidewalk into the sand, calling his name. As he came close to the edge of the beach which met her lake, a small form rose in front of him. LOVE "Boo!" cried a voice which was intended to be dreadful. Rod seized the figure and held it very tightly in his arms, and kissed the lips he found in the darkness. Lyla's natal slightness brightened, rewarded him. "How do you know who you're kissing in the dark?" "Honey, I know your lips on a darker night than this!" "Baloney!" Lyla exclaimed ineluctantly. "Let me down." "Let me down!" Lyla feet on the sand. The two young people sank down together very close to the age of the water. Lyla pulled her tiny feet under her and sat staring pensively out over the restless surface of the dark lake. Rod, close by her side, was silent, gripped by the beauty, gripmed, and unwilling to break the spell. The soft, fresh breezes which swept off the waters held an intangible spiciness, and a caressing warmth which I could not help folks gently. The sound of the small, wavelets lapping on the beach was a quiet refrain to the loveliness of the night. Far out on the lake, I was swept away by the gleam sheained for an instant, then disappeared into the mysterious reaches of the darkness. Rod sighed deeply. "Gee, Lyla, I'd sue like to be Joe on that boat swimming somewhere, just as you were with me . . ." he mused dreamily. "Do you feel like that really, Rod?" "And now!" he rejoined feelingly. "I don't know about anyone as I feel about you I've always dreamed or a girl like you, but I never saw her until we met. I remember many, many times when I was alone on the dog to keep me coapy while I watched a herd of steers, how I dreamed of the time how I would meet my dream girl BOD IS SADDENED "Out in my country the sky seems just a little over your head, and the stars are big and bright. It's lonely, but still it makes me feel less alone. I just want to just what this thing called life means. How I dreamed big dreams of the things I was going to do some day..." "And aren't you going to do big things, Ro?" Lily asked softly. His arm was wrapped around her. "I am I, he boasted. 'I'm going to make you proud of me.'" Suddenly he remembered his contract with Kling. "Have you ever been to a prize fight, Lily?" he asked as casually as he could. "Why. Why. Why. I couldn't ever want to see one either. she told him emphatically. 'Why?' - SURRENDER "Yeah. I'm trying to think of it. Lyia laughed sadly. "Yes, I know. Rod. I've been feeling that way out. when I do I get kinda- well, you know—sorta— myself, I—" "in the darkness the fragrance of the girl's hair drifted to him in oulsing waves. Her nearness excited him. He felt her slender, softly curved figure lying against his, and his blood pounded furiously through his strong young body. Gently at three, he immediately ardor, and he waited, until the rear's blood beat a quickening tempo in his brain. He felt her lips clinging to his, her arms creeping around his neck. His hard, sweet hands caressed her body. "Lyla," he breathed. "Lyla,". Something in his tone awakened the girl to a sense of their danger. Faintly she moved in his arms, stirring gently from his hard embrace. "On," Rod—don't. "Oh, but I love you, my dear—" "I know, dear," she bluntly. "But, anything matter, Lyla, except that we love each other?" He drew her again into a savage embrace. She pushed hard against him. "Walt," Rod—please, darling—we've got to hurt all to be beautiful—not spoil it like this. Can't see that," she said. SELE-REPROACH Slowly Rod's arms relaxed. The girl sat and lifted her flushed face to the cool breeze that swept in on Rod. Rod raised himself slowly, and hid his face in his hands. And hid his face in you ever forgive me, "be pleased." "There is nothing to forgive, Rod," she said, as she caressed his tousled hair. "We're young, and were human, but thank goodness we were let down." "You mean YOU were," Rod corrected her shamely. "I don't know what came over me. I was like a savage. I never been like that before. I'm so sorry." Lyla advised forget. "Lyla suddenly she pointed out toward the lake, where close into the shore the lights of a small motorboat winked gaily as she bobbed in the choppy water. "Look—see the little boat. Don't you wish we were out in it?" Rod shook his head morosely. "Not since I've found out what a brute am. I never trust myself with you anymore." "Don't be silly, Rod," the girl commanded. "Next time we'll know better. Won't you forget it, please." She shivered. "I'm cold now. dear. Shivered." "Hops we'd better." Rod assisted her to her feet and brushed the sand off her dress, and off himself. That done, they dashed toward the sidewall, and its bright lights. As they resembled if Lyla gave a small smile. "Oh, Rod. I've left my pocketbook. Well have it go back and find it." "You stay right here," he said. "You get it for you. I remember exactly where we were." **SPEEDING AUTOMOBILE** Wheeling, he dashed back into the darkness. His eyes, trained for just such a task as this, easily followed his feet and made in the soft sand. "When he reached the place they had been, he felt around over ground, and it, he got down on his hands and knees and covered every inch of sand within a radius of five feet of where they had been. He paused to think. He remembered now that she had brought no pocketbook. She must have forgotten that. He arose from the sand, brushed himself off, and started back toward the boule- When he was within twenty-five feet of the street, he looked for Lyla. His pulses leaped. He ran to an automobile. He shouted hoarsely, then began running mady toward the vehicle. Just as he came close enough to see clearly, it plunged away from the curb and went speeding down the street. Red's heart sank.

The game brought to a close one of the most colorful tourneys staged at schoolboy teams, and during the two days of competition, begun Friday, the 14 teams romped up and down the wooden court to display form, some of which was the equal of that shown by the national champions. Dumbar High, of Lynchburg, carved off third honors. Bigger Than Last Year This year's tournament not only surpassed that of last year in the calibre of the competition, but also had a larger entry list, the fourteen teams entered representing five states and the District of Columbia. Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Florida were the states represented. The Florida entry was the Lincoln Park Academy, where they played with their coach making the long journey by automobile. Four Champs Upset Four state champions were upset during the play, Dunbar High School of Lynchburg, Virginia champions; Mary Potter High School of Lynchburg, Lincoln Park Academy, the best in Florida; and Gary High School, West Virginia champions. In the cases of the West Virginia and Virginia leaders, the upsets were scored by the runners-up, the respective state tournaments. Finish Anti-Climactic While the final contest of the competition was colorful it was rather anti-climactic in nature, as the fans from the school team of Louisville. Ky. lock horn with the boys from the nation's capital in the final struggle. Central, however, met Armstrong in the semifinals and was beaten by a 29-22 score in the most hectic court battles witnessed. The plucky Kentuckians, possessed of an almost perfect short-passing ability, were the gunners in their midst, lost out via the personal foul route, their style of play causing more bodily contact than officials felt was justified. The other Washington entry, after winning one game, lost to Huntington of Newport News and to Gary of West Virginia. Winners Get Break In the first round Amstrom drew the weak Piedmont Christian High School quint of Martinsville, Va., swamping the experience of the top-ranked team with 46 to 16. In the next round the Technen drew a bye. Their victory over the Central High School team, picked as the dark horse of the tournament, the Technen won the finals under the double elimination system in use. The Douglass team reached the finals by defeating the Technon by overwhelming marin of 46-2, taking the measure by a 27-25 score of the Gary High School cage, state champions of West Virginia, who had defeated the Technon by taking the tables on the Huntington High School quint of Newport News, Va., by a 23-17 score in the semi-finals. Met Last Year By a peculiar coincidence Armstrong and Douglass, who last year met in the finals, fount themselves again facing each other in the clash for national recognition. The Douglass team of this year, however, was severe notices below the big Blue 1929 team, runners-up in the 1929 tournament. Armstrong drew first blood, when Windy Wallace shifty forward of the Orlando team, and tapped one on Douglass guards, and tapped one in from beneath the basket.

The team took to the to three points with a flash flip shot from near the 15-foot mark. This seemed only to inflame the victory-bound capital lads, who stage a stirring rally, and then drop their contributions into the basket, they run their total to 15 points before Douglass was able to score again. Douglass Closes Gap Flashing an equally spirited rally that had the fans yelling wildly, Douglass, by the weaner marksmanship of Glass and McClain boosted their score to 12, scoring four field goals and a foul shot while Armstrong counted once from the floor. The ball was Armstrong, 17; Douglass, 17. When Douglass opened the second half with a scorching field goal by Meadows, stocky guard. It seemed like a good shot, but shouts of the mountaineer supporters. But this three-neoint margin was short-lived, and that was as close as the West Virginians were to the decision. Dunlap. Tate and Lee not the game on ice with a series of bulls registered with unhappy precision. "Freeze" the Ball It was with this safe lead near the middle of the third quarter that Coach Westmoreland sent in "Friedrich" and the ball almost sinisterly with a weird exhibition of handling the sphere, that completely mesmerized the Doulxlass players and had the spectator amplifying the noise of waiting for the final run and it was not long before the trink-report of the pistol, fired by Country McGowan, chief time-men, brought an end to the tournament. Dunhar (Va.) Third The consolation game for third place, played just prior to the finals, was between Central High of Kenyan and the later team taking the measure of the fast-traveling Kentuckians by a 25 to 19 score. It was the third game of the day for the Virginians, who hardly more than a team of 19 had defeated Central of Charleston, W. Va. in a grueling tilt, 19 to 18. It was the second game for Central, but the Lombhivers, mustering strength from some miserable source fourth from a 19-12 deadlock, second half, to a well-deceived victory. Biff-like running by Stewart, Dunne and Patrik brought the Virginians the verdict, the marvin being furnished by two field goals, each of the teams having made three foul Carlisle (Pa.)

C. JACKSON Jr PHILADELPHIA—A demoralized Morgan Bear met a cocky and alert Lincoln Lion at the Broadway A.C., here Monday night, and when the smoke of battle had cleared, the score read, Lincoln, 26; Morgan, 20. It was just another of those upsets and Bill Taylor's charges, playing superb basketball, made good use of every opportunity to score, while Morgan, on the other hand, muffed easy scoring chances. Lanky Jones and Pinky Clark were held to one field goal each, and their weakness was sweet to the Lions, who had not tasted of Bear meat in several years. The game started with Lincoln trying to rush the Bears off their feet, but Morgan took things easy and it was over three minutes before either team could point. Lincoln drew first blood on a loul shot; following this Babe Jones dropped in one from the floor and the fireworks were started. Lincoln continued to rush, but Morgan was contented with an easy pace from home team. Morgan went into the lead and remained there throughout the half.

Allies The second half started off equally as fast as the first, Avery, the rangers Lincoln forward, scored four baskets in succession putting his team out in front before the Morgans missed basket after basket, and began to look like a demoralized bunch of stragglers on the retreat.

Several hours before fight time, every seat in the house was taken, and crowds were clamoring outside the gates for admission outside the gate for admission, who weighed 23 pounds was the first to arrive, Godfrey, tipping the beams at 247, coming in shortly after. Frank Floyd, was the referee. Clark Shows Fear Clark was evidently afraid of Godfrey as the fight started, and backed away from the big truck after landing a blow in his face. Godfrey's face, but as time wore on he landed some terrific socks to Big George's body. In the second round, George suddenly came in, and rushing into Clark, he delivered an assortment of rights and toes to Ace's head that soon had the claret streaming. In the third round Godfrey chased him, but didn't hurry himself in doing it. George Opens Up After this, George, evidently upon the urging of his manager Jimmy Dougherty, opened up an attack and had Clark on the floor exactly five times. In the three hours, was overcrowded, in the sixth three times, in the seventh the final time. Twice, however, the referee refused to start a count and ordered the groggy Clark to his feet. Clark made a sound, a number of five, the fifth and this seemed to arouse the big fellows' iris, as he pasted Clark about the head. The bell saved Clark in the sixth and he came out of his corner at the opening of the seventh, he tried to back away. He tried to jaw-jaw with the trick and Clark snoozed as the count of ten sounded. Duncan Beaten Leo Duncan, a stablemate of Godfrey, weighing 167½, was kayed by El Kadir, a Turk, 158½, in the fourth chukker of a scheduled six-round battle. El Kadir bore a stance resemblance to Billy Edwards of Washington.

In Mr. Griffin's automobile and another car, loaned by another Fort Pierce coach, the boys, who had already won the title of Florida champions in a tournament conducted at Talahassee, set out for fame and fortune. The oldest in the group was 17 and the youngest, their ace shot, only 14. "The more anxious to come," Mr. Nikon, their coach, related "and a order not to disappoint them and to give them a trip that we feel of exceptional educational value, we made a way. It was the first time for some of them to come out of the state, and believe me, it was a happy group that left Fort Pierce about one o'clock Wednesday morning." "Florida Champions, and How" Had it not been for tire trouble, encountered in Virginia, the Floridaians would have reached Hampton Thursday night, but as it was they pulled into the campus at 4 a.m. Friday. Emblazoned on a four-foot banner, stretched across one of the cars, were the words, "Florida Champions."

The closing moments of the game out to be a tie, and the outcome to be uncertain until the time keepers whistle declared Alpha winners by a single point. Tiger Nine Wins Two TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.

The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly Hear Me Talkin' To Ya Hear Me Talkin' To Ya By BILL GIBSON HAMPTON INSTITUTE VA DOWN HERE at this historic old Virginia school on the same court upon which such all-time stars as Pop Gayle, Figs Parker, Gurnoe, Horse Dorsey, Stretch Glimore, Fats Jenkins, Lys Young and many others, made basketball history, fourteen schoolboy teams, representing five states and the District battled for national supremacy. of Columbus more than 125 players, officials and coaches journeyed here for the game, which was the occasion for some of the finest and cleanest basketball that any rabid fan would wish to witness. And in the final play, Armstrong High School, the victim being the Doe School tossers of Huntington, West Virginia, the Doe school that the Orange and Blue jersey lads from the nation's capital defeated in 1929 for the title. The spirit of youth filled the air, and while the final game was exciting, there were other moments that made it to a far greater Degree. Take for example the Central High (KY), game with Armstrong, the team coming from Louisville, presented one of the quintets on the floor, having the best short passing play, was deemed a trifle rough by the officials in charge, and the team lost two of its star players in the Armstrong game. It is this writer's unqualified opinion that two players, Morton, a lanky bushy-hairman, and bills, a stocky little guard, were at the close of the first quarter, the Kentucky boys were leading the Washington lads by a 5 to 3 margin, and at half time they were still ahead, with the score standing at 14 to 12. Like frightened deer the teams raced up and down the court, Kentucky using a four-man defense with one man as a free defensive threat. Like a flash he would cut for the basket, and usually the ball. But when Morton and Mills went out via the personal foul route, the team seemed to collapse and Armstrong forged ahead to win by a 29-22 score. Central, termed the yellow jackets, Armstrong plenied the players, locking the western entry foul the cage supremacy from eastern territory. Four-footed were called on Central and 11 on Armstrong. Central missed twelve attempts at the basket from the charity mark and Armstrong missed eight. Stewart, 17-year-old center on the Dunbar team of Lynchburg, Virginia, impressed me as being the most promising player in the entire tournament. Playing a consistent and orthodox game, this husty youngster, by his cool and deliberate play, earned honors as high point scorer of the tourney with 11 points, and increased influence to his team mates. With college coaching and the keeping of training rules, he could be another Lanky Jones or George ```markdown ``` The Dunbar High School team of Lynchburg, Virginia, went through the most strenuous play of any team in the tournament, playing six games. The Poet's lost a heart-breaking tilt to Huntington High of Newport News, having defeated them at Petersburg for the state title. The score was 23-12 in Lexington, Kentucky and defeated to 18 decision. The High School team of Greenboro, N.C., by a 25 to 14 score. Mary Potter High of Oxford, N.C., was their next victim by a 22-12 margin. The Lynchburgers then met Garnet High of Charleston, W. Va., and nosed out the Mountainters duel by a 19-18 score. Scarcely were they back on the court again, winning by a 23-19 score from Central High of Louisville, in a game that was anybody's game until the final whistle. --- Central was next in the number of games played, engaging in five tests in the two days. Douglass High, runner-up, played four games, defeating Gary High. West Virginia state champions who had previously defeated them in a state tournament, by a 27-26 score, in one of those games you won, a 27-26 Armstrong. Armstrong, played only three games, one of them being a shot with the Piedmont Christian High School of Martinsville, Va., winning, 46 to 2. Dunbar, of Washington, played three games, defeating Dunbar of Kentucky, but losing by a 34-22 score to Huntington, of Newport News, a game they should have won, and losing to Gary of Virginia, 21 to 12. After losing, and seeing no hope for themselves, the DC, boys became staunch rooters for Armstrong. Before the tournament, Armstrong Hi School officials had pointed out that while Dunbar and the Techmen were tied for the title, the Poets played a much rougher game than Orange and blue. Checking back over the three games, an average of 12 per game, while Armstrong was penalized 33 times in three games, an average of 11. Thus there was only one foul difference between the two teams. Central, considered a "rongh" team, playing five games, had 5 fouls called, an average of 11 and 2-5 fouls per game. There were 424 fouls called during the tournament, the largest number being called in the Huntington-Douglass game, where there were 26, the Dunbar (Va.)-Mary Potter game and the Dunbar (Va.)-Garnet High game, had 10 fouls each for a low record. A total of 1,034 points were scored during the 24 games played, an average of 43 1-12 points per game for both teams. The largest total score was 67 points, made in the Central-Huntington game, which was won by Central, 37 to 30. The smallest total score was 24 points, made in the Dudley-Lincoln Park game, which was won by the former team, 13-11. ..... There was not a more interested person at the tournament than Principal David G. Houston of Armstrong. Pad and pencil in hand, keeping score and time, he was an interesting figure, and when the going became unusually close, you would find him standing up. Just before the final game started the Hampton Orchestra burst forth with the tune, "My Fate is in Your Hands." And it was. Drawing admiring glances from all who saw it, was the big four-sided Packard, which brought the Garnet High delegation from Charleston, West Virginia. It was the hottest vehicle on the campus. ... Charles H. Williams, "Daddy" of the tournament, was unable to attend, be at Harvard University where he is working on his Master of Arts degree in Physical Education. But "Gid" Smith, his able assistant, more than took care of the situation. The Dunbar High School team of Lexington, Ky., had the most unique uniforms, a black and white checkered outfit with a faint red stripe running throughout. Hughes, spindle-legged and dead-eyed forward of the Lynchburg team, wore a red and black skull cap during the entire tournament. Speckators were disappointed because he came off. In court, trust to him was difficult on the same team, whose bale hat him the sobriquet, "Slick"—Morton of the Central team, bestowing it. Patrick, according to the entry blank sent by his coach, is only 19. Garnet High, of Charleston, used a short bounce-pass that was effective until opposing teams caught on to it. There was some quiet criticism of the wisdom of using Coach Johnny Burr of Howard in the Armstrong-Central game. It was all the more pointed when it was observed that of eight of the fouls called on two Central players who were put out. Burr called five of them and Martin, three. It is my opinion, however, that the Washington man's officiating was non-partisan. Dunlap and Gregg of Armstrong, were the clowns of the tournament, their antics in freezing the ball, calling for much laughter. Both are good players and never started clowning until safe to do so. Dunlap would catch the ball in one hand, a la Lanky Jones, and wind up in the manner of a pitcher about to throw a baseball. When the picture of players, coaches and officials was taken, a panoramic camera was used. If the picture turps out all right, Benny Washington, veteran Washington official, should appear as, after being snapped at one end, he races around to the other. ..... And would you believe it, just last week, a contemporary, who is supposed to be the cat's whiskers, referred to the team from Mary Potter as winners in a "girls" tournament. I am not able to divulge the names, but in talking to a number of the high school players, representing various sections, I found several who were so impressed with the tournament and with Hampton, that it might not be surprising to see them enrolled at the Seaside institution soon. Bronze medals were presented to the members of the third place team, silver medals to the runners-up and gold medals to the champions. In addition, full-sized basketball trophies, of the same metals, will be sent to the winning schools. A mix-up in the shipment from the manufacturers caused a delay in the arrival of the cups, but they will be sent out this week. "Dutz" baker, former Hampton star, brought his team from Lexington, Kentucky, and although the whole school routed for them, he made quite a few games and were eliminated. Leslie, a brother, who made quite a name as an athlete at Va. State College, was an interested spectator. --- a. "Figs" Parker, who made basketball history for Hampton and for the St. Christopher team in New York, took time off from his drug business to see most of the games. "Go, Huntington, go," he cried, and the Newport News entry evidently didn't hear his plea. G WHEN your bungling servant wrote those few lines about girls' basketball, he little imagined the controversy he was starting, but from the letters he has received there is evidently more interest in the feminine competition than in that of the only male. Because of a lack of space, this department will be unable to print this week the letters received from two charming young women, giving their views on the question. What they have to say is of prime importance, because both of them, having participated in athletics as students, and having viewed the sport through the eyes of a coach, should be qualified to speak authentically. So if you want to get the real dope, this matter, this pillar advises you to read what the space reserved for this copy found next week, and read what they have to say. Watch for the little girls, and give them a great paw. 1,000 Engage in Battle as Wendell Phillips Loses by 26-21 Score CALL REFEREE BIASED Overtime Period Required to Decide Supremacy CHICAGO—Police squads of four stations battled nearly 1,000 rooters, approximately half of them while when rioting broke out in the Bartlett gym of the University of Chicago, following the defeat of the Wendell Phillips lightweight basketball team by the Calumet High School, while, by a 26 to 21 score. The trouble is said to have started when fans who had backed the Wendell Phillips team became involved with Calumet fans over some of the referee's decisions. Police report that some of the Phillip rooters boarded a street car and ejected all of the other passengers. This caused a general dispute and six other cars were commandeered. A number of heads were battered before the rioting was quelled, but only one rioter was arrested. He was carrying a revolver. Previous to the game with Phillips, the Calumet team had won a strength game. Their center, a tail gangling boy by the name of Keith, proved a thorn in the Phillip cagers' side. The first quarter ended 4 to 3 in favor of Calumet, and the half 10 to 10 in favor of the white boys. At the beginning of the season, with two kets, and selzed the lead 14 to 13. The third quarter end with Phillips leading 18 to 16. for SNAPPY LOOKING HAIR Use MURRAYS HAIR POMADE Everybody admires snappy-looking hair.

Candy Kid Pummels White Boy Until Referee Halts Maltreatment 16,000 SEE BOUT Black Bill, Stablemate, Loses to Woolest By FRANK BYRD NEW YORK—After two minutes, twenty-nine seconds in the second round of a scheduled ten-round feature bout at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, the Original Candy Kid Chocolate scored a technical knockout over Al Ridgeway, when Referee Jack Dorman stopped the fight. In the very first round, Chocolate dropped Ridgeway for the count nine, with his famous right and left hooks to the jaw. Nothing daunted, the Jersey fighter came back with a right eye, but succeeded in pushing his right eye, but succeeded in pushing the Candy Kid to the ropes, Chocolate came out and circled about, stabbing right and left jabs at Al scoring two clean ones to the head before the end of the first round. In the second round, Ridgeway showed up to a little better advantage and packed left after left to Chocolate's chin. Once again the Havana boy dropped the Jersey batter with a stiff right to the jaw for a count of nine. As soon as Al recovered his balance, Chocolate followed up with a barrage of rights and left to the body that rendered the Jersey boy helpless. Jack Dormant the man the affair, stepped in and called it "no go." Chocolate weighed 128%, while Ridgeway beamed in at 128. Harold Barnes and Charley Matherson were the judges. The crowd of 16,000, with an estimated gate receipt of $45,000, was smaller than had been expected. Black Bill, the shifty little Cuban flyweight, appeared on the same bill with Chocolate, his stablemate, but disappointed the crowd by losing 14 of the 15 scheduled rounds to Midgets. The American flyweight from Philadelphia. After drawing with Wolgast not long ago at Jess McMahon's Olympia A.C. in Harlem, Bill was most probably over-confident, but learned soon after the second round that Wolgast was out for business. However, before the Cuban was able to settle down into his regular stride, Wolgast had piled up such a great lead and fought so desperately until the end of the fight, that Bill was not able to put over any of those famous left jobs, aided by his weaving and bobbing style. Wolgast's defeat of Black Bill gives him the right to claim the flyweight championship, according to the New York State Boxing Commission. BEX CLUB VICTORS TRENTON, N.

Athenians Helpless When New Yorkers Start Rally Local Tossers Drop 51-33 Decision in Second Meeting of Season Dennis Simpson Takes Rap Wheatley's Place Totals 21 9 11 Totals 13 7 10 REFEREE—L. U. Gibson. By LEVI H. JOLLEY The dazzling passing of the Renaissance, Negro world champions, so dimmed the eyes of the Athenians, that they were unable to locate the basket and as a result found themselves on the short end of a 51-33 score in a fast and interesting game Auditorium Friday. When consideration is taken of the calibre of the two outfits, it is acknowledge that the Greeks, despite the score, played as good a game as the champions. The loss of the game can be attributed to the failure of the locals to wear the ball down under the goal. The reserve strength of the Rens, and their ability to play at an unusually fast gait and find the goal from any part of the floor, were effective in their results. "Pappy" High Man "Dead Eye" Ricks, who is also known as "Pappy," gave the spectators thrill after thrill when he shot from midcourt, sidecourt, and closeup. His antics and marksmanship told in the scorers' tabulations, when it was disclosed that he had scored a total of 16 points. Following up shots of his colleagues. Cooper, time after time caught the sphere as it rolled off the rim and with what whimsical twist of the hand and wrist, would tap the ball into the basket. Yancey as usual was where the ball was tossed. Occasionally, he stopped long enough to toss the ball through the cords. Vancey Rambles Yanecy's rambling was a light good for sore eyes, and the speed he exhibited seemed to eclipse that of his teammate. Fats Jenkins, who was on the sidelines, unable to play, recuperated from recent injuries. The spectators were denied access to the Saitch, both rated high in basketball circles, when the pinch hitting Athenian failed to appear in the line up. Wheatley, who is also a member of the Morgan College quintet. accompanied that team to Atlantic City. Although he was greatly missed, the spectators were seemingly satisfied when Dennis Simpson, however, appeared in an Athenian uniform and played a fast, and hard game at guard. His efforts held Saitch scoreless in the first stanza of the fractas. Game Rough Fast passing and a few shots by Ricks put the Rens far ahead at half time for when the rest period was taken the champions were leading by a 24-20 score. The game was rough at intervals as every member of the Athenian team had committed a foul in that half with Simpson having two against him and Simpson infringing the rules. Cutie Brown, captain of the Greeks, "aped" when he shot five field goals from every position of the floor during that period. Henderson and Simpson assisted him by scoring three 15 and one, respectively. Cutie Brown played an excellent game for an Athenians, his dribbling and pivoting thrilling the fans time and again. He was second in high scoring with fourteen points while "Pappy" Ricks led with sixteen points. Neither Flash Sheffy nor Joe Jackson could get going as able to get going as both failed to score from the floor although Sheffy shot a lone foul goal. Eagles Win The Eagles, favorites of aEt Baltimore, downed the Unknown Big Five, champions of the Western section, by a 37-23 score in a fast and hard play. The Eagles were early in the first half and were never threatened. Green, flashy forward of the East end gang, bore the brunt of the attack of the visitors. Billiard Meet in D.C.

McMillan, Yale graduate, former Shaw University instructor and more recently connected with the AFRO circulation department, couldn't speak a German sentence nine minutes and Liss club week in Dresden in Germany, a city organization, for the purpose of having visiting foreigners meet the citizens of the Saxon second city. The Dresden Venetia Nachricht-Prenty carries a picture page a photo of Mr. McMillan and in the account of his talk refers to him as a "highly educated and cultured representative of America." BY LEWIS K McMILLAN BERLIN, Germany, (By L. K. McMillan) — Several days ago I was invited over to Dresden to deliver a speech on the "New Negro in the United States of America." The group who extended the invitation to the leaders of the German Student Movement. I had expected the affair would be very simple, that I would be greeted by a few interesting individuals, that I would have a quiet let-up from my work and be surprised, a crowd of the city's dignitaries turned out: members of the consulates, educational and business leaders, and at the end of my speech a member of the city of Dresden's Opera Dale Dicke happened to be the only American who is a member of a German Opera Company. Subjects Discussed The interesting thing was not that as great number of people attended the meeting. It was rather some attending experiences. It was the first time they confined in a letter the points he wanted me to treat: the Negro's activities in literature, art, and music; the content, developments toward the solution of them, the most sensitive nals in the present situation; the relation of the Negro in America to the world; and I was convinced at the very start that the interest in the subject was much more than mere curiosity. Paul Robeson A very sensitive man, who is in the early thirty, told me how glad he was to have heard Paul Robeson, who said he was a great friend and said he expressed to Mr. Robeson, that it was so meaningful to have Nereg themselves appear before Europe. He said he would give a personal demonstration to prove their claims for justice and opportunity. Jersey Girl, Georgia Born, Writes Best Oration ASBURY PARK — Miss Altha Bleach, high school student, has won the $10 preliminary research prize for her "The Times" for its seven National Oratorical Contest. Miss Bleach wrote a fine onation "The Beginning and the Fate of Our Constitution." She won over the 225 other contestants for the best written oration. A second prize of ten dollars will be awarded to the student; the school finally enters as its winner. Ms. Bleach against county, state, national and international pupils. Miss Bleach's mother, Mrs. Pamela Bleach, Miss Bleach's assistant assistant of Selden Institute. Brunswick, Georgia, now is a resident of this city. Russia and Color A former member of the one-time Russian Imperial government asked me which of the great governments was more friendly to the Negro. Shortly afterwards his son told me of the pride with which some of his relatives claim some strains of racism. He poet fond favor in the highest circles and how that Russia has no record of color prejudice. Forced Separation Still another of the very interesting members of the club was actually disturbed about, the practice of the public places in so great a portion of the country. He could not understand it. His two questions were, how can a civilized country allow and practice such and do the Negroes in the practice. U. S. Consult, a Southerner The United States Consul in Dresden is a southerner. I do not know what he did in Dresden tells me of the old southern songs which he likes. He was present in the meeting, but he did not come to shake hands. Some one said that he did not know what he remarked that he could not have been nearly so moderate in making such a presentation. Think Negroes not Americans? The answer is not actually Americans. They ask what languages they speak, how they live and some even ask what sort of clothes they wear. Berlin I received a letter from a man in Dresden, asking if it were really true that Negroes in West Virginia have recently begun publishing a newspaper in the German language.

Morehouse-Howard Debate ATLANTA GA . The Varsity debaters of Morehouse met Howard March 12. It was the first time the university would policy to provide a liberal arts college education for the average secondary school student. It was the first Morehouse-Howard debate and it is the first non-cedition contest in the school's history. It upheld the negative side of the question. There was an occasional injection of will, especially on the side of the student who unable inmunes and bites sarcasm smacked of the traditional type of English debater. It seemed to be able to come to any common ground concerning an interpretation of the term "average student," and this led to the circumvention of main 3 STORES 1200 Penna. Ave. Cor.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, March 29, 1930 Hampton Students Protest Censorship on Plays HAMPTON, Va.—Declaring it is almost impossible to present any high level of interest in the game, and it is a question whether or not players are willing to give inferior plays, students of Hampton Institute are protesting against the present competitive league. This action is all the more interesting because Hampton players recent- l took a decided step forward in the dramatic world by building an inter-collegiate dramatic association. According to a writer in the current issue of the Hampton trip, Mr. Hampton is dedicated, publication. Hampton has a dramatic committee composed of five members, which "means that there are many ways to do it." step forward in the dramatic world by helping to organize a series of dramatic association According to a writer in the current issue of the Hampton Script, official stu- ments and Hampton has a dramatic committee composed of five members which are five different ideas as to the type of plays which should be presented." Says the writer: "I know that the Hampton players recognize the committee for their approval and only one was approved: The Second Mrs. Tanqueray, 'In Abraham's Bosom, Beyond Human Power,' Emperor Jones, Sheila, 'The Red Robe, Man and Superman,' and 'Pays to Advertise.' "All except the last were either 'too suggestive,' or 'deal with problems or were not worth wasting time over." "Other colleges have the censorsor adviser who is an authority on drama and is artistically sympathetic. If we want to be the best of our present censorship procedure." League Head Resigns Oscar H. Hunter, president of the Student Self-Government League, at the University, after receiving three anonymous notes signed by the college, academy and student councils which he admonished for the action of any of these bodies.

So decisive was the victory that the three: judges voted unanimously for the proposition. The proposition was, "Resolved.

This class in race relations is one of the best courses in the university, and the viva-ware method of general discussion makes in very interesting and instructive. OUR ATLETIIC PROFESSORS That real athletes are among the faculty of the university is shown in the following observations made in a recent issue of the Lincoln News. Professor Grim was a star athlete at Harvard, and once on a baseball coach here, and is now on the board of athletic control of the university. He was a varsity gymnast at Harvard, and may be seen rounding into form in the gym in arrethroons. Professor Silvers was a varsity gymnast at Harvard. He is our soccer coach. The way these athletes work whole-heartedly with their coaches is a relation of mutuality and friendship. Plan A. and T. Building The trustees of A. and T. College, Greensboro, N.

State Debate CHARLOTTE, N. C.—In an intersectionsal debate between Smith University and the S. C. State College, Smith won one decision and tied the other.

That Modern Advertising is More Detrimental than Beneficial to Society," the affirmative team of Smith at Columbia won unanimously the decision of the judges along with that of the audience. This debate was featured by the oratory of A. J. Clement, a veteran Smith debater. The victory of Smith was a split affair, one of the judges and the audience voting for Smith. Mr. S. H.

Enclose $1 With Each Order By R. W. TALIAFERRO Through a fault, entirely my own, all the laws for Progressive Auction Bridge were not printed a couple of weeks back. Add these to those you have already cut out, but remem- ber they are Progressive laws only and subservient to Laws of Auction Bridge; 8. When a round has been finished at all tables, they progress in the following manner: - winners at the head table remain, the losers move to the bottom table. - (b) at all tables except the head table, the losers remain and the winners one table toward the Head Table. After progression and before the first deal of the next round, the two new arrivals at each table draw cards, and he who draws has choice of seat and partner after the two who were at the table during the preceding round also draw, the higher becoming the partner of the dealer. Thus all players choose partners after each round. 9. After the last round of the tournament is ended, each player adds up the entries on his tally under the heading of My Score* and also the heading of My Score*. The difference between the two totals is the net score of that player; PLUS if "My Score" is larger than "Opponents' Score*; or MINUS if Opponents' Score*. The player with the largest PLUS score is the winner. (finis) It will be to the advantage of every club, organization, host or hostess and all players of Bridge to put into practice the skills you need to accustom themselves to their conditions. If you are going to play Bridge above all other considerations PLAY IT PROPERLY, for if you don't, you will be playing with people who do play Bridge right and they will very, very soon ostrize you in their Bridge soirées. I was told that a lady visitor from Columbus, Ohio, was guest at a recent Bridge club, and duringly she took the pack to her left hand opponent for shuffling. The opponent, instead of shuffling the cards, would hand them back to her and she would reply by saying: "Well, out my way we always have our left hand opponent shuffle for us, but if you don't play that way I will." When this last return to Columbus, will she land Baltimore's Bridge players or will she carry the inference that they do not even know how to deal the cards. And naturally if they cannot deal—one of the simplest Bridge—they certainly cannot play. That is one reason it is of vital importance for everyone who plays Bridge to familiarize themselves with the laws, customs and etiquette of the Bridge players, such as this lady visitor, will condemn you as Bridge students. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to call herself a Bridge player and refuse to shuffle the cards; the players say that the cards MUST be shuffled by the OPPONENT to the DEALER'S LEFT. Then, if dealer wants, he or she can shuffle again, but the cards must first be shuffled by the OPPONENT to the DEALER'S LEFT. Then, no dodging of this law. Your club, your teacher, your class, your partner or your instructor cannot change the intentions of this law in any detail, and the sooner that you, as a Bridge player, realize this, the sooner you will become an artist at the game. I attended a Bridge party last week, and in the course of the evening I was asked by one of the players if a player had had more than the minimum requirements necessary for the initial bid. It is a peculiar circumstance but I have noticed that most all average Bridge players influence them into thinking that their partner, who made the declaration, has more than the minimum strength necessary for the initial one-bid. Such is an error that you should not believe them to believe that an initial bid of one shows more than the minimum strength, bidding should never go any further than the first round, for it would not be necessary. In the case of the succeeding rounds, a bid of one signifies ONLY the MINIMUM strength. If the initial bidder has more he will show it on later bids. This is the one more informative and co-operative. On later rounds of bidding he can show you the exact strength his hand contains. So, in all cases, take an initial one-bid as showing only the Minimum strength required for a bid of one. Laws of Auction Bridge (Continust) 17. (a) The Auction begins when the dead ends, and ends after a declaration that the bidder has passed. The first legal action of the Auction is a bid or pass by the dealer. Three times, the bidder has passed, but no pass; bid, if no bid has been made; makes a higher bid, if a bid has been made previously; makes a lower bid, if no bid has been made; reduces a opponent's double provided no bid has intervened. Each pass, bid, double or reduble is a declaration. The bidder has been made, the hand is abandoned and the next dealer deals the still pack. **DID** 18. A bid is made offering any number from one (1) to seven (7), including together with the name of a suit or No Trump, thereby offering to contract. The bidder will win at least the specified number of odd tricks (over the book). **RANK OF BIDS** 19. A odd tricks ranks higher than a bid of a less number. When two bids are of the same number, they rank: No Trump (highest), Spades, Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs (lowest). INSEEFFICIENT BID 20. (a) A bid, unless it be the first bid of the hand. is insufficient if it be not higher than the bid. (b) A player may make an insufficient bid, may correct it without penalty if he do so before another player has made it, has declared, in which case an insufficient suit-bid must be made sufficient in the same suit; is insufficient. Trump bid must be made sufficient in the same suit. (c) If the player on the left of the insufficient bid declares the intention to make insufficient in the sufficient bid stands and is treated as if sufficient. (d) If any player, other than the insufficient bidder, call attention to the insufficient before the insufficient bidder has made it declared, the bidder must make his bid sufficient and his partner is barred from further participation in the auction. (e) If insufficient, by substituting any higher bid in any suit, no Trump. R. W. TALIAFERO Bidder 18 Pressman St. Phone, Lafayette 975L. --- ECZEMA? BANISH IT TODAY!

Scout Founder Would Keep Negro Down NEW YORK CITY—Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scout movement, all the Boy Scout troops of the world paid a visit recently to the West Indies and Central America and came to conclusion that the present methods of training the Nero race are altogether wrong.

Tobias senior secretary of the Y.M.C.A., speaking at Talladega, Ala., College, last week, said: "You students seem to have the expression on your faces that you mean to work. Yes, all of us mean to work, but do we really work? Some of us are attracted to the hereafter because Heaven is painted as being free from work or labor. A person is sentenced to work for committing a misdemeanor. What do we mean by work? Too many are seeking easy jobs, yet they claim they want work. "There is a lot for us to do. I am thinking particularly of the economic situation as it, is facing our people in this country. We claim we have no opportunities. Scores of our college men seek jobs as Pulmineers, red caps and waiters. They can that work. These jobs should be left for the men who can do nothing else. "Too many are bidding for the same jobs. You do attend schools of commerce and finance should work in order to utilize your training. Work among your own people and keep them within the group within the group that needs it. "In this great America there are opportunities. Color need be no bar for opportunity. Others of your race can be colored, the color bar, and you run do, likewise."

STONE Audley A. P. Savage, auditor of the National Savings & Trust Co., reported yesterday that total deposits in Washington banks on December 31, 1920, the date of the last controller's call, were off just $13,866,538.79 from the total deposits on the call of October 4. The compilation covering every bank in the city had been expected for several weeks to show a heavy decline, the stock market break being assigned by banks as the main son for the drop in deposits due to general business recessions and withdrawal of funds at the same time to Perhaps the most interesting feature in the tabulation, which appears elsewhere in the financial record of the Sunday Star, is the fact that every savings bank in Washington, with a single exception, reported a decline in deposits since the October call. The exception was the Prudential Bank on Florida Avenue, which recently conducted a special campaign for new and larger accounts. protect New York down $7,947,361.95 in their deposits, compared with October 4, the savings banks had a decline of $2,897,700.98.

TAYLOR, Secretary Christian World Adopts Use of Capital "N" The spread of the use of the capital N to designate the Negro race throughout the world is indicated in a clipping received from London by the N.A.A.C.P. showing that the Christian World is the latest publication to adopt this style. The clipping from the World of February 27, 1930, contains a letter from Herbert D. Rugg, editorial secretary of the National Council of Congregations: Church in New York, who says in part: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the United States has long been energetically agitating for placing 'Negro' in the curriculum. Its contents have endorsed by most of the religious parrots in the northern states."

Savage's Report on December 21, 1929 One of the most startling reports in the financial world came from Washington, D. C., in the Auditor's report on SAVINGS BANKS. Among the 21 Savings Banks of Washington, D. C. every one of them showed a decrease in deposits except the PRUDENTIAL SAVINGS BANK of 717-Fla. Ave., N. W. It had an increase of $32,901.80. This exceptionally sound bank is a Negro institution and its records prove that its promoters and owners are men of wide business experience, excelling every bank's kind in Washington. This wonderful institution with its superior business staff was complimented by the examiners who reported on it. The Washington Star (Sunday) under date of Jan. 12, 1930 made mention of the fact that this bank stood in a class by itself.

L. TALLEY, President ness Review, a magazine of Business achievement published in New York City, gives an article on the achievement of the Prudential Bank of Washington under date of Feb. 15, 1930. Mr. John R. Hawkins, Pres. of the bank, was complimented by the American Business Review for the record and activities of this institution which brings them more prominence. This is indeed publicity to be proud of. Among their recent work is their Xmas Savings Club for 1930 with 3,000 subscribers listed. It is almost miraculous to read that this bank with $100,000 capital stock subscribed, had $98,300.90 paid in. The AFRO-AMERICAN joins with many other well wishers in commending the officers and promoters of this institution for their success in the financial world.
