Lewis, former U.S. district attorney under Roosevelt, when he said: "Call no party master. Wear no man's collar. Be with any party when it is right, part company with it when it is wrong." The banquet was given in honor of Julian D. Ratney and James G. Wolf, recent commissioners in the office of the corporation counsel by Marc Curley. Mr. Lewis, introduced as an "occasional Democrat," because he deserted Coolidge to work for the Davis in 1924 and for the Negroes have had lean times in politics. He said that the Republican party needs to be told what the Democrats are doing for the members of the party in their efforts to vote. jorts to eat. "We live in the present," he said, "and our fathers in the past. The days of the Abolitionists are gone forever." Might Turn Democrat We must write our own Declaration of Independence and take our place in history, and by so doing we will be playing the game for all that it is wortt. Mr. Lewis admitted that in 1932 he might be a Democrat as he was in 1924.

Democrats Give Everything In urging members of the race to support the Democratic party, he said: "Everything the Negroes have received in Boston was given by the Democrats." He told of his reasons for quitting the Republicans in 1922 and how he influenced race voters to have their men designation changed. He was high in his praise of the Irish Catholics saying that wherever are in power the Negro is given equal break.

The greatest of all colored explorers is now, at the age of sixty-two, an obscure clerk in the Customs service at New York. He is Matthew A.

She was at once meek and bantily pruced. As to her resilience, she explained that she had "always been quiet." The above was her story and she stuck admirably to it. The only evidence of any emotion whatsoever was noted for the first time in trembling of the lower lip when it was hinted that she might be escorted back to this farm to see Mr. and Mrs. Berry to corroboreate his statement, and if it were found to be true, aid might be forthcoming; she merely needd slowly in the affirmative. This, of course, is only one of hundreds of such cases, and blinding urges to oblige obligations is getting us nowhere.

TH Lines Lines Lines Lines AFRO MORE AFRO-AMERICA COLOR LINE WILL VANISH AFTER A THOUSAND YEARS Races Lose Identity After That Says Princeton Professor TREND CITED Canadians Told of U.S. Race Mixing TORONTO, Canada.—The color line will vanish in America after a thousand years, Dr. E. G. Conklin, white, professor of biology at Princeton (N.J.) University, told the Canadian Club Friday. "It has never happened," he said, "that two races, no matter how distinct, have inhabited the same territory for a thousand years without losing their distinctiveness and blending their traits." Racial blending, he pointed out, was a long process. In its intermediate stages it produced many things which could not be considered to the advantage of humanity. The off-spring of mulatto unions was extraordinarily variable, either highly desirable of highly undesirable. In the biological government of the United States, of good breeding demanded the rigid elimination of the undesirable, but, he said, "we never hope to be able to apply these rules of good breeding to the human species." South American Hybrid Professor Conklin said the processes of racial assimilation were going on all over the world. In Australia the mulattos outnumbered the natives; South America had become the great hybrid population group of the world; and even in the United States, "with all its race prejudice," there were a quarter as many mulattos as full-blooded Negroes. "We are suffering in the United States," he said, "from a short-sighted policy of yielding to the demand for cheap labor in demand." Negroes in it brought other distinct racial types. Criminals not Anglo-Saxons "We have a most unenjoyable record in criminality, with twenty-seven times the murder rate of Great Britain, but if you look over the list, you will find that the names are uniformly non-Anglo-Saxon," he said. "In many European countries courts give their criminals the choice of going to America or to prison. We not only have them, but even gave them our children in marriage," he declared.

Connery, white, physician, was granted a divorce from his wife, Mrs. Lillian Connery, 23, whom he accused of paying too much attention to their colored chauffeur. The decree was handed down just last week after decision had been held in reserve for several weeks following a lengthy hearing before Vice Chancellor M. L. Berry, white, of Toms River. Dr. Connery testified that his pretty wife was found in the chauffeur's room. He also told how he had followed her several times when she shot him.

The physician declared that Mrs. Connery and Mitchell eluded pursuit and were absent until late at night.

She asked her husband to explain his long relationship with the housekeeper on a neighboring estate. Vice Chancellor Berry, however, ruled that Mrs. Connery had shown no evidence to support her counter argument. She also had several witnesses, including the housekeeper and a maid at the Connery home, supported the husband's claims.

Joins Labor in Asking Senate to Reject Parker HE'S LILY-WHITE Termed Negro Source of Political Evil EDITOR'S NOTE Judge Parker replied to an AFRO telegram requesting a statement through Judge Morris Soper of the federal court in Baltimore. The AFRO was referred to a statement by Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the North Carolina College for Negroes, in the Greensboro Daily News, Monday. Dr. Shepard is quoted as saying: "Judge Parker is fair on the race question." NEW YORK.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today made public the text of a letter to Senator George W. Norris, chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary of the U.S. Senate, urging adverse action upon the name of Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina, nominated by President Hoover to the United States Supreme Court. The letter also requests opportunity to be heard at the hearing of the Judiciary Committee on Judge Parker's nomination. Letters urging adverse action on Judge Parker have also gone to thirty-four other Senators. Walter White, Acting Secretary of the Corporation, states that branches of the Association in all parts of the United States were forwarding protests to their Senators against approval of Judge Parker. The grounds on which Negroes oppose the confirmation of Judge Parker are stated as follows in the Association's letter: Was G.O.P. Candidate for Governor "In 1920 Judge Parker was Republican candidate for Governor of North Carolina. He was a pro-troversy as to whether or not qualified Negro voters of North Carolina should be asked to support the Republican ticket, Judge Parker repudiated any such intention on the part of himself or party and in so doing flagrantly and openly criticized the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution. "This assertion is based upon the following quotation as reported by the Greenbush, North Carolina, Daily News of April 19, 1920, in which that paper reported Judge Parker's speeches at the public State Convention of the gubernatorial nomination. The News quotes Judge Parker as saying: "The Republican Party in North Carolina has accepted the amendment to the state constitution and the Negro has so accepted it. I have attended every state Convention and the Negro has so accepted it. I groo delegate in any convention that I attended. The Negro is a class goes not desire to enter politics. The Republican party of North Carolina does not deserve to be a class. I fact that he has not yet received that stage in his development when he can shear borders and responsibilities of government. "This being true, and every intelligent man has to be aware of the attempts of certain deputy Democratic politicians to inject the race issue into every campaign is most important. There is no more dangerous or contemptible enemy of the state than men who will attempt to kindle the flame of racial prejudice or hatred ... Negro in politics is a source of evil and danger to both races and is not desired by the Negro. Negro is a Republican Party of North Carolina. Disqualified "The association submits that man who holds such opinions as these is qualified to sit on a bench where he inevitably, issues affecting Negro Americans will be brought for consideration and where these issues will be determined on a basis of the Fourteenth Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution." The association further announced that a telegram submitting the quotation had been sent to Judge Parker and asked him whether he had been correctly quoted and, if correctly quoted, whether the views expressed in 1820 represented his present attitude. No reply has been received. Baltimore Girl Weds in D.C. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Miss Susan Jackson, 230, 300 S. Fremont Avenue, Baltimore, became Mrs. Les Williams, 30, of this city last week. The Rev. J.

Eight Natives with Duck Lips Proud of Mouth Stretching Disks NEW YORK. — The theatrical district opened its eyes to a new, variety ```markdown ``` These women and the four men who accompanied them in Uganda and Ubangi tribe which inhabs an isolated triangle of land in French Africa. The men also marks consist of wooden disks inserted in their lips in childhood and gradually up to eight or ten inches, giving a duck-bill effect which is greatly prized among the women. They were accompanied by Eugene Bergonier, a much decorated man and Ababul and Ababul Samba, a Congo artist and uncle of the late Battling Siki. From them it was learned that the disks were not originally a mark of beauty. It seems that in the old days the tribe was constantly burdened by the young people. After much counsel it was decided to make the young women so homely that even the pirates would leave them alone. But in time the lip stretching came to be considered beautiful, so that now only the comedy of the tribes and the adornment and they are regarded all their lives with great respect and admiration.

PLATES FILM STAR SUING MOVIE MAGAZINE FOR DAMAGES Nina Mae McKinney Denies Having Repudiated Her Race NOT WHITE-MAD Star Sees Attempt to Ruin Her Film Career NEW YORK. — Denying that she had made statements accredited her in an article in the April issue of the Motion Picture Classic magazine, which quotes her as repudiating her race, Nina Mae McKinney, motion picture star of "Hallelujah," announced this week that she has filed suit for damages against that publication and the author of the story. The article was written by Elizabeth Goldbeck, white, following a purported interview, and is titled "Black—And Potentially Blue." In it the author says: "Nina Mee imagines she has made the transition from the black world to the white. Poor little Nina. Colored people no longer appeal to her fastidious taste. She has been in the homes of John Gilbert and Gloria Swanson. In her illusory success, she has in her life taken her herself off from friends among her people, for what she imagines are better things." Says Folks "Jealous" The writer then quotes the "Hallelujah" star as saying: "I'm nice to them, and I speak to them on the street and everything. But you have to be so careful not to get common. If you start going out with them, pretty soon they think they're just as big as you are and Wesleyam colored people don't like anyone from the East. They're jealous of me because of my success. I guess I'm Jes' about the most talked-of girl in Hollywood."

Deneen Forces Indict All But Criminals GHICAGO-Before an audience of over 1,000 voters in Wendell Phillips High School Sunday, Senator Deeneen, candidate for re-election, was scored for the failure of his faction to indict John Pampinella, white, slayer of William H. Nuggetter, a colored politician, worker for the last registration. State Representative William E. King charged that two years ago Deneen raised $300,000 to prosecute persons he said were misgoverning Chicago. So then they have indicted four of our leaders. They indicted Oscar DePriest and Dan Jackson, but later dismissed the indictments. "Reformers said that the civil service board was corrupt. The board was one colored, two white and one colored and only the colored member. Bishop Archibald Carey was indicted." Ruth Hanna McCormick, white, Deneen's opponent for the Senate, told the governor to task, declared that he changed about so much in his principles that he is entitled to become chairman of the switchman's union of politics. He is in an open forum told colored voters that she stood ready to reward them in proportion to their population. States Attorney Quails at "Nigger" Test CHICAGO—"Gentlemen of the jury, it's no excuse to call a coral man a "nigger" or a "Negro," declared States Attorney M. Hampton, white, who was called Rufus H. Thompson, mond Williams for shooting and killing Rufus H. Thompson, white, who called him "nigger" and "coon" Wendell E. Green, attorney, defending Williams, interrupted Hampstead's coroner. This is a personal insult to me and my whole race. Whirling quickly to face Hampton, Green said. "Defy you to call me 'nigger.' Hampton wisely declined the challenge and the judge ordered the remark stricken from the record. States attorney Swanson has been notified of the disgusting behavior on his subordinate Hampton who is recently to have come from the South. 20 Take Census in Pa.

The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly OFAY PEONAGE FARMER ADMITS HIS CRIMES Says All White Dixie Farmers Enslave their Negro Workers THREE FLED FARM Told Officers They were Pursued by Bloodhounds NEW ORLEANS, La., (CNS) — James Piggott, white, owner of a peonage farm at Bogalusa, La., was sentenced 18 months in the Atlanta Penitentiary Tuesday, on his plea of guilty to the charge of holding Negro farm hands in peonage. A federal grand jury returned a secret indictment against Piggott on December last on charges resulting from an investigation by Federal agents of stories of brutality related by three workers who succeeded in escaping from the farm. Three Fled Farm The men, Gabel P. Allen, Herbert Dyson and Jeffery Hall, told the federal men that they escaped from the farm on June 15 and went to Hattlesburg, Miss. They were located and returned to Piggott but made anoth- They told the conditions on the farm where Negro workers are held prisoners by Piggott and forced to work without pay. If they attempted to escape they were tracked down by police and upon their return are chained to trees and beaten with chains, they stated. Pleads Guilty Piggott pleaded guilty to all the counts against him except that charging that he beat his laborers with chains. He admitted that he chained a runaway farm hand to a tree, but he never beaten his help the same as any one in this country does." When they would run away he would get sheriffs to return them to him instead of sending them to jail. Mu-So-Lit Club Holds Anniversary Banquet ROCHESTER, N.

The report of the committee in "The news article under consideration is a most unfortunate pronouncement in that it is calculated to exsecute against the colorist. It is a warning of contempt, and intensify the spirit of antagonism and repulsion, which now exists in too great a degree for the insurance and misleading consequences, helpfulness which would keep in happy accord the various elements of the populace. Extremely Pathetic "We cannot believe Dr. Proctor meant deliberate harm to the people whom he has doubtless hurt; that would be to sink himself, the depths of despair, but it is, nevertheless, pathetic that he should so far forget himself that, for the temporal gain he hopes to reap from such exposition, he be smirches the reputation and vites the opportunities of the very people whose champion he should be whose advocate he should be his supreme and aim. "It is most deplorable to think that, in the zeal to gather funds for the building of his church, he should have betrayed the best interests of the people whom ostensibly he was essaying to help. Insidious Attack "Dr. Proctor, to real his powers of edification, and command the support of the rich and powerful that he might demonstrate those powers and save the whites of community and community contacts of the colored people, pictures them as criminal and diseased, and himself as the great agency of relief; the instrumentality through which the people who suffer from the harvest turn this unwholesomeness and persistent condition into a state of security and assurance. "The flagrant and insidious attacks of our avowal enemies are inconsiderate and misguided, misfeit with the extensive damage that comes from the misguided or pernicious shafts launched forth from a hand within our own ranks. Whether the purpose of the specifier of Dr. Proctor, culpability for this wrong is by no means mitigated, for a man is in duty bound to think; and a man of intelligence, in the position of leadership and us, cannot fail, in the situation: this is clear prostitution of the race's credit and honor to unholly gain." Miss Julia Coleman Heads $100,000 Enterprise The latest and most recent commercial achievement of the race in Harlem is the new *Hair Vogue*, designed by Dr. Julia Coleman, president. The new organization is known as the Vimol Chemical Company, which is the first company to be directed by Dr. Rick Roberts, secretary, and Dr. Oscar H. Williams, treasurer.

Dr. Coleman is being commended for her new undertaking and is receiving the cooperation of the leading hairstretches in profession. Bar Negro and White Labor Jury from Hearing NEW YORK—Five Negro and seven white workers elected on the Labor Jury by unions and unemployed councils elected by 110,000 workers of New York, were barred by Congress of the Unemployed Delegation in Special Sessions court last week. Charles Hope, a Negro laundry worker and foreman of the Labor Jury, appeared at the head of the group entered into a court. We were elected in court and watch this case," he said to the police lieutenant, "and we intend making a report to the thousands of workers and unemployed who are demanding the immediate release of their delegates. The policeman answered by ordering them from the building. Hope led the protesters and insisted on their right to be present at the trial. If the trial is going to be honest, the said, "the authorities said to let us in?" His recognition of the fact that a worker cannot get a fair trial under the present system and his voicing of his opinion boldly, caused the police nally to stay in halfway, but not to come into the courtroom or listen to the case. 1930 Mrs. Lena Sanford Roberts is one of New York's most pleasing social leaders. Her statusque personality is well liked in Gotham. Mrs. Roberts has been prominent in many social and civic activities. NEGRO NOT MORE SUBMISSIVE THAN WHITE. TESTS INDICATE NEW YORK—That Negroes are not more submissive than whites is indicated by psychological tests conducted by Peter Cooper, and reported on in Social Forces for March. His article, as summarized by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored States, reports a psychological test to men and women students, both white and colored, in their respective colleges. Mr. Cooper concludes from his tests that in the particular phase of personality covered, there are no racial differences. He says, "We only observe differences are within the white and Negro groups and not between them; in fact, the differences within the group are more than fifty percent of the groups, further interesting observation is the following: that this test disproves THE NEW YORKER ```markdown ``` Why BEAUTIES of the STAGE use PLUKO The soft, smooth, glossy h greatest charm is by no means sult of daily care—and to me regular use of Pluko Hair Dro This delicately-perfumed tresses everywhere because i pleasant to use,and so nourish both, glossy hair which popular buy no means an accident.

The cooperation between farmers and the State and Federal Farm Agents. THOUGH'S OF THE FOUNDER (1905) It is time that the colored men of the city and state were getting a good-sized move on them looking toward their own betterment. Hanging onto the coat tails of the so-called Republican party is about all they are doing just at this time. Let us have a big convention and set ourselves free from political bondage. Sr., Editor and Publisher, 1892-1922 Happily Married The AFRO'S new series designed to discover, if possible, the cement which holds happily married couples together despite gin flappers, auto sheiks, grass widows, gigolos, rent parties, and all-night dances, is not likely to discover anything new. In the first place marriage, like the human body, clings to life and shuns divorce or separation even after its heart is weak, its brain is paralyzed, its lungs congested and its kidneys fail to function. In the second place a happy marriage is not something that can be weighed or measured. Today it can be blue and tomorrow rosy. It does not even depend upon a majority vote. Actually happy and blissful hours may be in the happiest minority. Often a pint of joy outweighs a peck of trouble. And finally there is no absolute standard for what constitutes happiness in marriage. It takes twice as much cement to hold some homes together as it does others. What does she want with a man like him? friends of the bride ask before marriage, and hate jealous rivals ask: "What did he see on her?" After they are happied wwed for thirty years the questions still recur. Outsiders can never understand what holds two people together. They have been guessing about it for sixty centuries and today one person's guess is like good as another. He calls himself the husband and head of the family. Actually he is the president, secretary, messenger, fireman, painter, policeman and janitor. She who calls herself the better half is the treasurer, the executive committee, the cashier, the governess, nurse and general servant. Out of a combination like this, happy marriages are formed. In its series of articles on the subject, the AFRO may discover the underlying secret, but as said before, we doubt it.

The Drive for Jobs Announcement of the Urban League's drive for jobs in Baltimore awakens a responsive cry from hundreds of city folk who are unemployed, underpaid, and forced to spend money for furnishings, food, and clothing with large merchants who do not want their trade, or with smaller storekeepers who will not give them or any of their group employment. While Baltimore has lagged behind in this regard in the Urban League of Chicago, backed by the CHICAGO WHIP, which created the slogan—"Do not spend your money where you cannot work"—has placed over a thousand colored persons in neighborhood stores as managers, butchers, clerks, porters, and elevator operators. Two suggestions made to the local league should bear fruit within the year. One of them is to urge small neighborhood stores to employ colored people as clerks. Chain stores are to be petitioned to make their entire personal colored. The Sears, Roebuck Company, headed by Julius Rosenwald, is to be invited to establish here department stores manned entirely by colored employment and appealing for colored trade on that basis, plus quality goods at prevailing prices. The Mercantile Trading Company is opening April 15th such a department store in Washington, D.C. This is one point of attack. But if economic independence is to come, more colored people must be encouraged to enter business, and those already in the field must be helped to expand and to multiply. The whole program is one worthy of Baltimore's enthusiastic support; and nothing else should be permitted to interfere with this major campaign of the year. Boo! News from Lincoln University which stated that a decision awarding a debate to the home team was booed, contrasts with dispatches the same week from high schools in Baltimore and Chicago. In the West, 1000 Chicago basketball fans precipitated an inter-race riot when a poor decision gave a city championship to a white team. Baltimore, two rowdy girls' basketball teams, and their rooters broke up a tournament because a girl player was declared ineligible. If the news from Lincoln be true, it appears that a college can be relied upon to teach something not in the textbooks. Good sportsmanship, fair play, respect and friendly treatment of opponents are evidences of culture often sadly neglected in schools and colleges where teams are taught to hate, revile, and belittle their opponents. Is Lincoln leading the way toward a much needed reform? Perhaps, although Prof. Robert M. Labarce of Lincoln writes that there was an appeal at the decision, but no booing.

A Dixie Preacher The Rev. Edward Millwood, white, Tennessee preacher, was happy telling his congregation about Christ until he discovered a world-wide interest in Negro literature, music and art. So he gave up his pulpit to make a tour of the country reciting his own poems in which he tells of the glorious South, the old plantations and the happy Negro slaves. Here is a sample of one of his favorites— When I was but a little boy You're trablin' on a lonesome road This is genuine original dialect, says the Rev. Mr. Millow, which he has personally copied from colored folk. If his lectures prove a success and money rolls up, he will continue. If not, says he will return to his pulpit and attempt to save more white, Tennessee, souls. Readers may write on any subject they like. Usually 150 words are enough.

To the Editor: I see so many letters in your paper as protests against our war mothers being jim-crowed on the trip to France to visit their sons' and relatives' graves—those who were killed in the World War. Let the prejudiced crowd go together and the servants of God go together. Let the warriors make themselves satisfied that all things work together for good to them that love the Lord.

To the Editor: The same Paul who preached "Slaves obey your masters," believed the spirit of Christ in his words, when he could end slavery. This thought of his was proved in a letter to his friend, Philemon. Philemon owned a slave by the name of Oneismus, a wild young fellow who ran away and went to Rome. He was converted, and he went to hear him and was converted. Afterwards he sought Paul's advice as to whether he should go back to his master or not, and Paul told him to go back, and wrote his friend to receive him, but The same Paul who preached, "Slaves obey your masters," believed that the spirit of Christ in the hearts of men could end slavery. This thought of his was proved in a letter to his friend, Phlemon. Phlemon used a slave by the name of Onesimus, a wild young fellow who ran away and went to Rome. Paul was preaching in Rome at the time, and he heard him and was convinced afterwards he sought to know whether he should go back to his master or not, and Paul told him to go back, and wrote his friend to receive him, but not as a slave but as a n brother. ARCHIE R. SMITH. The Challenge—"Climb Low." To the Editor: Appearing in the issue of the New York World for Friday, March 21, is a poem entitled, "Clim Mr. Washington attempted to impress his readers emphatically empathizing with the need to succeed in higher pursuits and the necessity of a "low aim" in order that he may procure aid and amity from his fairer-faced It appears to me that the very title of that defamatory poem should be *red-blooded Negro* to come out of his stupor, den his armor and prove to the world his ability, and the fallacy of that The challenge is ours! J. S. T. HINES. 214 S. 8th-av., Mt. Vernon, N.Y. Baltimore Should Protest Against This Nuisance. To the Editor: Investigation will prove that a nuisance is prevalent in Baltimore, which does not exist in many large cities—North or South. The nuisance is the littering of the streets and vestibules of colored people home, schools and all other forms of advertisements. In nearly every city, there is a city ordinance against this procedure. Two towns in California have legislated against this nuisance in the past three months. In Northwest Baltimore, in many cases, must move advertisements from our mail boxes in order to deposit our mail. The city council would render invaluable service to the tax-payers if an ordinance were passed which would prevent them from placing two to one decision of the judges was "booed" by the students here. As chairman of the faculty committee on debating, might I be permitted to correct this very erroneous statement? Our president a number of the faculty, and a friend a number of the student body were present at the debate, and all of us can testify that there was applause, but no booing (either inside or outside the auditorium) when the decision was rendered. On the conclusion of the debate, the decision should have been unanimous in our favor. I say this only to contradict in the most emphatic manner the false report of your correspondent, whoever he might be. I regret all the more the unfortunate impression that we will make, because one of most promising of our debaters is one of our Baltimore boys, Clarence M. Mitchell. For his sake as well as for the sake of the others on the team, would you be willing to correct the misrepresentation made regarding the attitude of the judge toward them? Also say that two of this same team, Messrs. Chapman and Mitchell, met this week in New York a finely equipped team from Fisk University in one of the best debates, a pleasure of listening to this case also they won a two to one decision of the judges. ROBERT M. LABAREE. Investigation will prove that a nuisance is prevalent in Baltimore, which does not exist in many large cities—North or South. The city has a number of vestibules of colored people's homes with hand-bills and all other cheap form of advertisements. In nearly every city, there is a city ordinance against this procedure. Two towns in California have been against this nuisance in the past three months. The postman in Northwest Baltimore, in many cases, must move advertisements from our mail boxes in order to deposit our mail coupons in order to receive invoices service to the tax payers if an ordinance were passed which would do away with this nuisance. A community cannot be sanitary if the alleys, gutters, doorways and streets littered with paper blowing every direction scattering the fifth in gutters. Let's fight the nuisance. HENRY F. ARNOLD, No Booing at Lincoln Debate. Pennsylvania Men Defeated Fisk as well as West Virginia State. To the Editor: I notice on the front page of this week's AFO-Association account of the debate between teams from the West Virginia State College and Lincoln University, in which it was stated that Lincoln's victory by a two to one decision of the judges was "booed" by the students here, chairman of the faculty committee on debating, might be attributed to correct this very error-statement? Our president, a number of the faculty, and a fine representation from the student body were present at the debate, and all of us can testify that there was applause, and no booing (either inside or outside the auditorium) when the decision was rendered. On the contrary, it seems to be the very general opinion that the decision should have been unanimous in our favor. I say this only contradict in the most emphatic manner the false report of your correspondent, whether he might be. I regret all the more the unfortunate impression which this article will make, because one of the most promising of our debaters is one of our Baldwin, and one of our Mitchell. For one as well as for the sake of the others on the team, would you be willing to correct the misrepresentation made regarding them and the attitude of their fellow students toward them? Let me also say that I am not a team, team, team, and Mitchell, met this week in New York a finely equipped team from Fisk University in one of the best debates it has been my pleasure of listening to; and in addition, also they won a two to one decision of the judges.

To the Editor: We are many interesting, though annoying paradoxes that confront one in the South to-day. Though I was able to get Pullman accommodations out of New York to Atlanta, where I slept in the same car, I was not permitted to eat in the car with white passengers, as though there was some great and fundamental difference involved. It is customary, according to some leaders in India, to bring passengers to the room in order to 13, which is the drawing room, in order to keep them out of the body of the car, so as to avoid contact with the white passengers. But on one occasion, a woman, body of the car—going to Atlanta, No regular, invariable rule with respect to accommodations for Negroes seems to prevail. Even coming out to Atlanta, while requiring the and insistence was required to get a berth, finally Lower 1 was secured. The previous week, Dr. Channing Tobias, national colored Y.M.C.A. secretary, sleeper car accommodation in August, but not the or the drawing room. It is customary, according to some leaders in the 1980s, to passengers to be in order, which is the drawing room, in order to keep them out of the body of the car, so as to avoid contact with the white passengers. But on this trip, I had Lower 6—which is the body of the car of the driver, and is regular, accommodations for Negroes seems to prevail. Even coming out of Augusta to Atlanta, while considerable jugling and insistence was required to get a berth, finally Lower 1 was seen. It may be interesting to know in this connection, too, that traveling from Augusta to Atlanta is intra-state, which renders the securing of sleeping car accommodations more unusual. New York City. ____ A PHILIP RANDOLPH. Judge Waxter is the Grandson of the Late General Thomas J. Shryock. To the Editor: Judge Waxter, of the juvenile court, is a young man. His work on behalf of our group should not fail of the highest appreciation upon our part. When others of his kind discern how sincerely such efforts are appreciated by the thoughtful class of colored people, they will more and more be inclined to recognize the value and importance of their colored brethren. The grandfather of the judge, General Thomas J. Shrivock, a generation ago, was one of the best and stammering lawyers worked with him. Lying before me is a letter of his to me, under date of March 28, 1901, in which he uses the following language. "I assure you that I have held you in the highest regard since our work together in behalf of the re-election of Governor Lowndes. You are one of those with whom I came in contact whom I believe one can do to. The general improvements were made at Cheltenham. One colored teacher, and two colored men, heads of department were appointed, and the general improvements were gradually, to extend the kind of service throughout that institution. He was of old "Abolition stock," and a man that demanded a square deal for all. I am glad that his grandson has interested himself in this work, and I trust that through his efforts other white men of his standing may be interested, and finally, that we may have such delinquents for the sake of a credit to the State of Maryland.

Dr. J. T. Whitson, Principal of Grammar School Which Graduated Colonel Young, saw Announcement of Tests in the Paper and Advised Young to Try it Out. Talk of Studying for Priesthood Probably a Mistake. To the Editor: I notice an article in the AFRO-AMERICAN of the issue of March 22nd stating how Col. Charles Young came to enter West Point Military Academy. He heard a great many reports about Col. Young's early history, none of which were altogether correct. I wish to set you right with regard to the West Point point. During the time that that was principal of the colored prison camp, Rhio, Ohio, Young was sent to mine for two years. I fitted him up for the high school, which he attended for two years and graduated with honors. He should have had the valedictory but his color kept him out of it, and it was given to a white boy. A boy tried for it, and the examination was but fell behind in the contest. After Young graduated from the Ripley high school, he taught school one year under me. During the children's recesses he would generally come to my room to chat with me. This would be until the advertisement in the Ripley daily paper which stated that the United States Congressman from that district said that there would be a test examination for the cadetship to West Point Military Academy, and that all boys who wished to be examined should appear at Hillsboro, Ohio, at a certain date. When Young came down to my room at recess, I told him about it, and urged him to enter the contest. He asked what advantage it would be to him. I told him that if he would excel would get the appointment in the department's expense for four years, or until he graduated. After graduating he would be commissioned as a second lieutenant in the regular army, and would be in line for promotion on up to general. He wanted to know what the examination would consist of. I told him who owned a horse and buggy, took him to Hillsboro. The next day he appeared at the court house when the examination was held. As a result of the examination he stood second best. Boy by the name of Strobridge had the highest mark. There were 27 boys examined—two of whom were the following September, 1883. Young Strobridge set out for West Point to enter the academy. In the preliminary examination held the latter part of West Point the latter part of December same year young Strobridge was sent home. Being behind the alternate, the next September, 1884, he set out for West Point to enter the academy. In the usual examination held the latter part of December at West Point he passed.

He was a second lieutenant in the regular army, and would be in line for promotion on up to general. He wanted to know what the examination would consist of.

WHITSON. 339 Schoonmaker Ave., Monessen, Pa. A Compliment to Miss Nannie Burroughs from An AFRO Reader Who Also Reads Four Other Negro Papers Each Week. T. the Editor: In your issue of March 22, I read an article headlined, "Do Not Read Negro newspapers," credited to Nannie H. Burroughs. I would that Nannie Burroughs's article were read in open church meetings and augmented upon by others able to deliver a convincing talk on the importance of our group reading each week. Negro newspapers. Knowing as we do, that the big daily newspapers invariably color all news about Negroes—that is, Negroes. Negroes' rights, benefit, effort, and they are involved in an unfavorable incident. Here is where the Negro newspaper comes in. Negro newspapers are indispensable watchmen and defenders of Negroes' rights as citizens of our country, and all Negroes should and must support them and read them to others who cannot I wish to compliment Miss Burroughs for writ- ting that article; and you, Mr. Editor, for pub- lishing all news concerning members of our group. It is the only medium in which the gospel can be gracefully and genuinely peoples of the world his progress as well as his grievances. New York City. T. L. McCOY. None of These Facts Prevent Our Admission that the Bible is the Book of Books, Most Frequ- ently Published and Most Widely Read. To the Editor: The Bible is the book of twenty-seven books for which divine oracles are inscribed. Christians deny the divinity of all Bibles but their own. We deny the divinity of only one more than they do. Out of 250 Jewish-Christian writings, sixty-six have arbitrarily been declared canonical by Protestants. The rejected books are of the same character than the accepted books together as "The Holy Bible." Circumstances rather than merit determined selection. For 150 years the Christian Bible consisted of the sacred books of the Jews. The New Test- ment was not formed until the late 18th cen- tury. The rejected books were selected twenty books from among forty or more gospels, nearly as many acts of apostles, a score of revela- tions and a hundred epistles. Why were these particular books chosen? Why four gospels ins- tended one? The Gospels were unknown to Peter and the early Church Fathers. They were forced later.

Why were these particular books chosen? Why were these gospels known to Peter, Paul, and the early Church Fathers. They were forged later. The Bible did not assume anything like its present form until the fourth century. The books of the New Testament were not adopted until modern times. The Bible was recognized as a collection of independent writings. The Greek Catholics at the Council of Jerusalem in 1672 finally accepted Revelation. Their Bible contains several books not in the Roman canon. The Westminster Assembly in 1647 approved the list of sixteen books composing the Authorities, the one most used in America. Our Bible, therefore, is less than 300 years old. Adoption was, by majority vote. None of the men contributing most to form the canon accepted all these books. Chrysostom, who named the Bible, rejected ten, sixteen, and seventy of Protestantism, rejected six of sixty-six—Ezf师, Jonah, Hebrews, James, Jude, and Revelation.

JUST ENOUGH and Negro Business Whatever is said by James A. Jackson of U. S. Department of Commerce, a Specialist in Retail Business, should be regarded as not only authoritative but interesting. In an address before the business men in Baltimore last week, Mr. Jackson warned his hearers that while they may find some advantages in capitalizing race consciousness in business, its value is doubtful, and that there should be no "colored business" as such. While this is good, hopeful theory, it is probable that it will be many years before it can be realized. There may be some isolated cases where a Negro can run a business in straight competition with similar white businesses and expect to get white and Negro trade based solely upon the efficiency upon which it is run generally spends this time long as the present racial lines of demarkation exist. The Very Foundation Upon Which American Business Is Conducted Is subsidy, or National Consciousness. In this country there is no such bottom to top, from bottom to top it is saturated with combines and groupings based either upon race or trade arrangements, and the quicker the Negro learns that he must enter into a conflict with the oppressive struggle which he is subjected in the business world, the better. The Senate has just passed a tariff measure designed especially to keep American trade with Americans. Just a few weeks ago the government granted a subsidized mail contract to make it possible for an American shipping company, to operate in a foreign-owned company. Must Subsidize Our "Infant Industries" When we subsidize our merchant marine in order that we compete with merchant marines of other countries, we do as a nation what the Negro should—subsidize its own industrial industries." There is no need for our sticking our heads in the sand and trying to ignore the fact that white men act in business as white men, just as they act in religious and social affairs as white men. Any economist who tries to make people believe that they can succeed against the powerful business alignments of the white merchants, with the Negro consumer not buying a good proportion of his commodities for no other reason than that he is a Negro, is as foolish as the American who would say that we can build up an American business without the protective tacit support made American brands more for making goods by Americans than for goods made by cheap coolie labor. If we build a foundation for Negro business, it must be done in the retail trade, and there will be no other way to lay this foundation other than by what Mr. Jackson calls 'consciousness' and that is plainly. Negroes desire to buy from Negroes EVEN IF THEY HAVE TO PAY MORE FOR THEM. This should not be a question of race prejudice. We should have no prejudice against white business, in fact, we should patronize white merchants who give us "breaks" in the line of employment or other trade considerations. But for the present at least, we might just as well face facts and respect the Negro business will be Negro business just as long as Negro churches, civic and social institutions are Negro institutions and must be supported by Negroes if they are to live. Calling attention to the masterpieces of African art done in ivory and wood placed on exhibition in New York by Valentine Dudensing, Jerome Klein points out that "there is less appreciation for this art among the lineal descendants of its creators (Negroes) than on Park Avenue." It may be interesting to Mr. Klein to note that Alain LeRoy Locke, one of the outstanding Negro scholars—a Rhodes scholar—is spending much of his time bringing Negroes to the appreciation of African art, and that there is unmistakable evidence that Negro life is being more and more influenced by art and culture having purely racial backgroun- Of course, the Negro masses have not got nurer enough away from the bread line to have produced the resources necessary to collect priceless art treasures, nor have they got more material in this diversion. When this develops there will be proportionately as many Negroes at the art counters as residents of Park Avenue. In fact they will be residing on Negro art is more likely, however, to work itself out along the lines that the working masses in Russia are using. It will sink deep into their struggles, inspirations and economic ideals. Communists, Why Not Get that Permit? Baltimore Communists announced last week that they would hold their May Day parade and demonstration without getting a permit, on the grounds that, as workers, they had a right to use the streets. There are many things about the economic and humanistic principles of Communism, the belief in a bounded and progressive. We believe practically everything that they believe about the division of the products of labor among those who labor, and the wiping out of our capitalistic system with its exploitation and unfair division of human benefits. But just how they can do that, to conform to the law in a matter of this kind, we admit we fall to see. Even when a Communist government is set up in any country, the very government itself would be valueless should everyone decide that he would not keep the rules of communism. Further we believe that the cause of Communism can be more readily advanced in America by an appeal to reason of the working masses than by inviting sympathy through manufactured martyrdom. There should be demonstrations, propaganda and every form of educational work that would be the business of getting one's head needlessly cracked seems to be out of tune with the high and lofty ideals set forth by the real Communist principles. Mahatma Gandhi's Non-Resistance is Hindoo's Hope Mahatma Gandhi's Non-Resistance is Hindoo's Hope To Try Conclusions Before One is Ready for the Issue is Merely to Delay the Righteous End Aimed At. BE KELLY MILLER Passivity is the protective virtue of the powerless. The meek shall inherit the earth because they can get it in no other way. Any man, race or nation who will not use all of the resistive power at his disposal to enforce his just demands is properly labelled a coward. Jeep preached non-resistance to his fellow Jews because he knew fully well the measure of measuring might with the Roman arm. If the haughty Roman soldier compelled the Hebrew peasant to go with him one mile he was advised to go him one better. Gandhi Aware of His Helpless Position Mahatma Gandhi is fully aware of the helpless position of the Hindoo masses. He has no power to match with that of England. Like his great Master, the Christ, he makes a virtue of necessity, and urges his people to gain the righteous end by passive resistance. When the rash impetuous Peter drew his sword and cut off the ear of the seer, he and prudent Master Priest, he and prudent Master him to put up his sword; for he that fights with the sword will perish, by the sword. If Gandhi had the competitive power to throw off the British yoke, does any one suppose that he would preach passive resistance? But conscious of its weakness with the adversary, he prudently falls back on the more subtle and powerful weapon of meekness and non-resistance. The position of the Hindoes under British dominion is much analogous to that of the Negro under the Anglo-Saxon Dominion. He is hopelessly overpowered. Any attempt to match might with might is foredoomed to failure. But there is this essential difference: the American Negro has been vouchsafed certain legal weapons which he can use within allowed limits. He has been guaranteed equality before the law which is his chief weapon of defense. The race was not merely indeed the result itself of the weapon to assure the fullest measure of guaranteed rights. The N.A.A.C.P. is the endowed agent to exploit this weapon. He is not a radical who fights for his rights within the limits of the law. To insist upon the application of the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, the Sermon on the Mount, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of the United States, is not radicalism. The purpose of such insistence is not to destroy the law, but to fulfill. Moral Protest is Passive Resistance Moral protest is nothing but passive resistance. The Negro's whole upward struggle has been on this basis. In the earlier years, he tried the rash counsel of "resist and die" Denmark Vesey and Neil Tumor tell the story. Because such deportations, his resistance to injustice and wrong has been in the passive rather than in the active voice. Righteous appeal to conscience in the long run never goes away. Abraham Lincoln said that if slavery is not wrong, then nothing is wrong. It was only necessary to impress his truth upon the man of the field of violence and violence were mere incidents of this convincing moral appeal. The erstwhile slave holder now sees this moral principle as clearly as did the far discerning ken of Lincoln's moral genius. In so far as the Negro's cause is right, he may surely rely upon an effective practical weapon to advance the great mission deviance to great success. Nothing is settled that is not settled right. Any cause which is right will ultimately be rightly settled in harmony with the moral economy of the Universe. The liberty of India is sure to come to pass, for there is no human or heavenly sanction, permit one perpetual subjugation on the bare difference of race and color. Gandhi is now utilizing the most effective weapon available to him. The cause of the Afro-American is essentially right. His bitterest opponent in his heart of hearts must concede this. For even the Devil believes and trembles. But to try conclusions before one is ready for the issue is merely to delay the righteous end aimed at. Unless one has overmatching strength, so with the sword of the Negro by the sword, American Negro can learn valuable lessons from Mahatma Gandhi who represents the best living embodiment of that mind which was also in Christ.

The Proofreader Talks Having said—and reiterated—that the use of the apostrophe *for* the formation of the PLURAL of any WORD or NAME is an illiteracy; having warned against such purported plurals as, "The Jones" were there; we may now pass on to consider the use of the apostrophe in the formation of the possessive case. If as in geometry, there is a *pons asinorum* in the study of English, the possessive case is it. Not that the crossing of this bridge is so difficult in itself but that the approaches to it are a bit complicated and few persons are willing to take the trouble to master them. Most people know that in forming the possessive case the apostrophe should but are often in doubt as to where it should go. For those persons I shall attempt to resolve the doubt. Those who really know the apostrophe any old place or omitting it altogether—are beyond help. As in the case of persons who fail to dot "is" and cross "is", if they are employees, they deserve the cussing and the threat of reprisal, their employers, they must stand the loss that their slipshodness entails and engenders. For the use of the apostrophe in the formation of the possessive case, there are just three rules, or principle; to learn and apply—without any exceptions whatever. These rules will be stated and exemplified in the next F. H. M. M. Would You Think It? Tennyson could take a worthless sheet of paper, write a poem on it and make it worth $65,000. That's genius. Some men can sign a check and make it worth $50,000. That's capital. The government can take an ounce of silver worth 50 cents, make it worth $10,000. That's money. A merchant can take an article costing 7 cents and sell it for $1. That's business. A girl can buy a hat for $2.99 but purchase one that costs $29.99. That's vanity. The author of this can write a check for $9,000, but it wouldn't be worth a cent. That's tough.

WHAT GOES ON IN BATHROOMS WHAT GOES ON IN BATHROOMS By IDA GOURDIN LUCAS What is there about a bathroom that causes the individual to lay aside all tinnidity and give full sway to his feelings? Under my observation, or rather in my home, have come old and young; but it seems that in every case they have found freedom of expression within this room. I have known teachers, doctors, nurses, and even nurses are absolutely silent. Is it the soothing sound of running water or is it this combined with the assurance of privacy which induces even the hardest old man to relax? Years ago, I named it the room of inspiration. It was the only place I could find to read the books which my parents had censored. Conveniently near, was large, named a room hidden. One of my sisters was always inspired to sing by getting into a full tub. Gosh, how she would thrill and splash Dad always said that she I remember a timid boy of ten, at whose home I was boarding, who refused to talk to me away from my room to this room of inspiration and sing out of thefulness of his little heart, "I Sing the songs of Arab." It seemed to be his favorite song and sometimes惊畏 there — he would repeat it. Then there was also a World War veteran—an officer in the National Guard, a student in college, and a voice until that door closed behind him, then he would bellow like a bull. Please do not misunderstand—he called it singing. And now last-before he left me, the one of whom he have spoken, was one of my brothers. During his first years in high school, we were led to believe that he was destined for the military, but he then chanted or quoting script, as he preformed his morning abilitions. College days changed the tune and gave us "Junior Eyes" and "Fair Harv" But even these were to pass, and during his law school days, the room of inspiration became a court room; and we were from time to time, and we were him prosecuting defending, pleading. So, gentle reader. I have told you how people I have known have, in turn, made this room a study, a conservatory, a court room. What have been your observations? What does it inspire you to do?

Nothing Backward About the Negro In Africa German Scientist Admits that Africans are Expert in the Grammar of Their Language and the Flora and Fauna of Their Country; their Poetry and Music Developed and Their Ethical Conceptions are High. All African Negroes Believe in a Supreme God. Negro First to Emancipate Women. (From "Welt and Wissen," Berlin) It is only a short while ago that the International Institute for African Languages and Culture was brought into being, with headquarters in London and independent Secretariats in Paris and Berlin. This Institute has taken two tasks upon itself, it seeks to protect ancient African culture from destruction, and at the same time to promote the development of modern Africa by the Professor Dr. Westermann is preparing a scientific expedition to Africa having scientific study as its chief object. Explorers have conducted similar expeditions in earlier years to the Gold Coast, Togoland, East Africa, Namibia, Reef, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. Prof. Westermann has summarized the impressions gained from the work of such expeditions up to the present as follows: "In the first place. I must destroy the illusion which persists in forming in European minds with regard to the Dark Continent. Africa is by no means a land of interminably large spaces where here and there savage Negroes are to be found, who obtain their sustenance by hunting. "Africa is more populated than South America, and we have taken me to towns having 400,000 and more black inhabitants. The fact that scientific methods of dealing with the soil are so advanced and that the ground is still to-day tended for the most part by hand, is due to the fact that the raising of horses and cattle is impossible in country regions on the plateau. "The blacks have, however, been all the quicker in consequence to adopt the motor car, the tractor and other up-to-date agricultural machinery, where they may be increased many times over, and even now this is beginning on have a decisive tendency on the markets of the world. The cocoa plantations introduced by the Institute a short time ago, relatively, have been greatly, already, thanks to the intensive working of the Negroes, producing one-half of the entire production of the world." That gives a small example of the intense determination to develop which animates the black races today, and which gives an entirely different complexion to the African picture. In addition, the Negroes approach their task by using it wrongly primitiveness—with energy and zeal and a natural intelligence. Many a time one hears of a "Black Peril"; all the same, the weary and indolent civilisation of Western Europe will have to evince far more intensity. It will have to place with the energy of the others. The activity of this movement astonishes us over and over again; for instance, we are all present when we give a uniform written language from the mavriads of African dialects; and have been discussing this question in lengthy contexts. In this connection we must admit that many of the Nerores had a far better command of the grammatical rules of their speech, and could also staff of trained European experts had hitherto been able to attain. The great thing, however, is that Negro children have been the greatest industriousness, and it is already hardy possible to stay the hunter the blacks have for education; they simply build dwelling for the teacher attached and then they come to us and ask for a missionary. Negro Not Easily Deceived Uneducated, from a scientific point of view, their knowledge of the flora and funa is so extensive that we can learn from them. Among the arts, music is prominent; the Norwegian is far more musical than the European. We are now also commencing to explore Negro literature in a systematic manner, and the first volumes of our collection will appear this year. The book we have handed to light is of great and tender beauty. We have also discovered works among the Mandingos in West Africa, worthy to be classed among those of the Occident. This year five prizes for literature and this year the means of giving us an insight into the immense treasures laid up in the shape of legends, tales and above all, proverbial sayings. At the same time, the Negroes have watched us very closely, and themselves immediately begin to issue newspapers and books. Comparative studies of the cultures of the ancient bases of the legends of mankind are to be found once again in the old Negro literature. Thus the Flood is related and described in detail in the Samaritan, African ancestor worship and magic, with which every Negro is familiar, has now led to an astounding result. Whereas the Negro has the Native religion rested on a polytheistic basis, it has now been shown without doubt that all Negro races believe in one Suncrem God, with other and lesser gods exist. Furthermore, the familiar outlook as in that of the European; they say of a good person. "He is a man," while they deny this appellation to a bad person. Negro was First to Emancipate Women "In one up-to-date characteristic," laughingly concluded Prof. Westerman, "the Negroes have already overshadowed us, so we can be confident of woman; just on this particular point there is an especially ingenuous conception in Europe. It is a fact that the Negro woman works hard, but she has a deciding influence in family and communal life; I have seldom seen a Negro, daring to raise a voice against her opinion and asking for help to free herself from the primitive conceptions she has about Africa.

"In the past year alone" he said, "thirty-two per cent of the deaths caused by this disease in this city were among Negroes who only constitute nine per cent of the city's pop- Doctors. Nurses Needed "As far as I can see there is only one solution: for this tragic condition and that it is to train Negro doctors and nurses to treat patients with give treatment patients." According to other specialists who addressed the College of Physicians the system of tertiary medical education in Pennsylvania has degenerated greatly in the past few years. The sanatoria in this state are crammed with patients in the advanced state in the advance of point of care with patients in the incised class, who could be cured. These advanced cases, they declared, should be removed because homes become footwear. While they are receiving care in the sanatoria, designed for the treatment of incipient cases, these incipient cases advance to the final stage and are moved in to fill the beds. During the past twenty years, it was stated, there was a decrease of sixty per cent in the death rate from puberty five years, the death rate has dropped only from 110 per hundred thousand to 105. What is needed to improve this situation in this city, the expended, was more hospitals for the treatments of this disease. TEACHER DIVORCED DILLA-Harry E.

Freelon Art Exhibit, being held this week at the Southwest Y.W.C.A. under the auscles of the local chapters of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority might almost be called "The Classic"—the following, musical five sions, visitors—considered, not to mention the artist's work, which is best treated by regular connoisseurs and highly specialized critics, with the spotlight of favorable comment, but not limited upon his Forge-Men which was really an intensely fascinating canvass. However, if I may be permitted a personal remark or two, Allan Prelon's paintings are trending very decidedly toward the Modernization in the Impressions to touch distinctly noticeable in many of his landscapes; which, if I correctly recall, is a change in his ideas of that phase of art, as discussed by him with the writer at his last year's display. There was glowing cheeriness about the paintings suspended in the improvised gallery, that was at once captivating—and I have said before, this particular club room of the "V" ends itself ideally to such cultural expositions. Mrs. Allan Freelon (the former Marie Cujet), special teacher in the public schools, and wife of this art, supervisor of colored schools, wore an attractive pink face for which was cast in the Green Giant Black Bertha DeShields and Urule Curdi in receiving on Sunday afternoon. Ruth Wright, in blue lace, helped serve tea and the guests ran into the hundreds. She was a teacher, and that time, the public is cordially invited to view the result of the artist's brush, much of which is the result of just this week. But those who were absent Sunday will miss the rare musical treat provided by Lilian Garnett, accomplished pianist, and Ms. Wright, a member of the Philadelphia teaching staff.

Beck, Republican, of Philadelphia, declared, Tuesday. "Mr. Stevens was duly a supervisor of the census," stated Mr. Beck. "So far as I know, there was no disposition of the census administration to revoke the appointment on account of his color. Misunderstanding "There had been a misunderstanding on the part of Mr. Stevens as to the execution of certain papers which were necessary to his learning of the law, and he learned of this, knowing his capacity and ability, and his desire to fill this position. I introduced him to the director of the census who very willingly accepted his knowledge of the matter and thereupon his commission was granted. "My personal knowledge is that when I learned that the director of the census was about the qualifying papers, was considering the revocation of the appointment. I promptly took up the matter and he gave Mr. Stevens and me a very courteous hearing and at the end he informed that the commission he issued."

ATRE Telephone Madison 3587 ST TALKIES VAUDEVILLE MATINEE DAILY New York HAT" PLAYHOUSES AND PLAYFOLK Sorority in Revue Phi Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority at Wiley College, Marshall, Texas, drew a crowd to its third annual passive revue, a musical extraganza. Involving an outlay in costumes that has been equalled before, and has gained advantage of the new scenery in the college chapel, this year's show without doubt outstripped those of the previous two years. Among the musical hits were "I Love You, Believe Me, I Love You," by Miss Odd Hammond, "Am I Blue," by Miss Miray Bedford and "He's So Unusual" by Miss Elmira Nobles. In addition there was lively dancing by well-drilled choruses, and a bizarulous monolog. Morgan Players Score The Morgan College Dramatic Club, pioneers in Negro Dramatics successfully and one-act plays at presently one-act plays at the Hampston Institute. The Morgan presentation completed the exchange agreement between the Hampton Players and the Morgan Players. The Baltimore Thespians presented "Racky," a play of Negro peasant life, by E. Culbertson; "The Robber Banjo," a play of Negro peasant life, by W. Richardson, and "The House of Sham," another play by Willis Richardson—a play of middle class Richardson—a audience, which consisted mostly of students, was very appreciative, and gave prolonged aplause after each play. Dean John W. Haywood, who accompanied the players, spoke between the plays on the new interest in college dramatics. Present "Sun Up" The Paul Robeson Players of Clafin College, directed by Miss Blondelle A. Whaley, presented to a large and appreciative audience Saturday Lula Vollmer's play, "Sun Up." Quartet Hit Big Adding a bit more to their already great western fame, the Billibrew vaudeville bill at the Tivoli Theatre Los Angeles, last Sunday. To Film "Lulu Belle" According to some very reliable information, the sensational comedydrama, "Lula Belle," is to be filmed shortly, at M.G.M. Studio, Los Angeles. This stage play, with an almost entire colored cast, had a long run in New York in 1926-27, with Lenore Thurlow in title role, and Evelyn the Belasco Theatre last fall with Dorothy Burgess as leading woman and about seventy local actors in the supporting cast. Hazel Jones played an important part, as did Spencer Williams and Cliff Ingram. According to reports, the play is to be made so sold at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, with a colored leading woman. Nina Mee McKinney was intended for the important characterization, but recent rumors say that Evelyn Preer is to occupy this coveted spot. She is now entertaining at Sebastian's Cotton Club. Miss Preer was a nightly sensation in the New York stage production, left it for the record-breaking musical comedy, "Rang Tang." Her place was taken by Edna Lewis Thomas. After wandering all over New York, the Plantation Revue, now known as the Planters Revue, has finally settled down at the Kit Kat Club, 48th Street and Broadway, where they are being featured nightly. Mystery surrounds the failure of the proprietors to reopen as they said they would do. First, the club was in 126th Street. After a raid and wrecking by gangsters, the outfit was moved down into Eldridge Street, where the barricade dances of the colors perched on the street, and contract to the tasksskates of the Hebrew residents of that district. A short tenure in the East Side and the Plantation was supposed to reopen in Harlem. No explanation followed their failure to reopen, so they are now domiciled at the Smith's Alma Smith's Madeline Belt, and Eddie Green are wowing them nightly. Minstrel at Hospital A ministrel from Avondale, Pa. was among the acts appearing on the program for invalid soldiers at the Perry Point Hospital, near Kennett Square, Pa., last Sunday afternoon. An old time ministrel show with an all-Negro cast went into rehearsal, Monday, in New York. It will be called "Kilpatrick's Old Time Ministrels" Thomas Kilpatrick is backing this production. Young and Old Stars Meet Richard B. Harrison, 66 years old, who is playing the part of the "Lord" in Marc Connolly's success. "The Green Pastures," and George Garner, young tenor, met in New York last week. Mr. Garner came from Chicago to sing for some New York millionaries, receiving, according to reports, the sum of 12,000. The pair met at a party given by Hall Johnson, noted choir director, in honor of the Chicago tenor. Mr. Harrison is the first actor to play the oart of God on the modern stage. That he has done it well, with fine regard for all the religious proprieties and with the enthusiastic approval of the highest and most sensitive church influences, the stories in all the newspapers attest. Into his dressing room the leading dignitaries of the Christian Church in New York to cloth and comfort him with warm praise. Mr. Garner who is to direct a mammoth chorus for the National Baptist Convention at its Golden Jubilee celebration in Chicago this August made the trip to New York without any idea of the high reward his services would bring. He, like Harrison and all our great artists, stunned the road to Parmasus, drawn with food for the same group for which Mr. Garner sings, Fritz Kreisler, the world-famed violinist, had played last year. The fee paid to Mr. Garner was the same as that paid Kreisler. Bledsoe at Palace Jules Bledsoe, who formerly starred in "Show Boat," is appearing at the Palace, New York, offering a varied program, which contains such numbers as "The Toreador Song," and "Eli, Eli," ending with the familiar "Ol Man River." Baltimore Banjoist Abroad Fred Jennings, the hanjo artist, formerly of Baltimore, is now on tour of the world with the world-famed Utica Jubilee Singers, and meeting with big success everywhere. Mr. Jennings would like to hear from Mr. U, G. Chambers, pianist of Baltimore, on important business, and wishes to be remembered to all old Baltimore friends. It's Nobody's Business PERHAPS she won't like it if she sees it here in print, but it seems pertinent to tell a short short-story that has as its principal character a young woman whose voice and personality make her one of the most important personages in a popular show. It has not been so long ago that, seated at a table in a little side street restaurant in this city, she almost ravenously devoured a half chicken, and between bites sang a blues that would have made Ma Rainey hang her head in shame.

But the lure of the stage had captured her. Friend hubby was not so favorably inclined toward her ideas of a girl career, but she was one of those girls Who Get What They Want. So it was a promise that if she reached stardom she would be willing to step into a bungalow and make those biscuits Like Mother Never Made. But when she said that she little realized that her realization of a feature role would come so soon. Just a week or two ago, however, she got her break. One of the featured stars was fired. Would she take her place? Dunt esk, I am laffing. The friends who know about her promise to friend hubby, are wondering whether she'll live up to her agreement with him, now that an ambition is realized. But that, of course, is nobody's business. Well. Ida Clare One of this department's spies forwards the following communication (reproduced in toto) written from one of the hamlets of good Maryland Free State, and in it you'll see from the writer's attitude that the age of chivalry is far from being redemption, the embalmer. Wrap your ears around this: "The subscription card party given by the professional chauffeurs' club was largely attended. We regret that the committee on selecting prizes used such poor taste and judgement. "The prize given to a young lady of a visiting club was the vilest and most insulting ever heard of a lady of chivalry with embassment when the gentleman unwrapped the prize in full view of all present. "Such offenses should, and I think will, forever receive the condemnations of all self-respecting persons." A Black and White Yarn Louis Sobol, writing in the Graphic tells a likely yarn about a couple who grieved because they had no children. Eventually, the husband, a white stock broker's clerk, went to his physician for a physical examination and was okeyed. Later he brought his wife, and the physician found her, too, in good physical trim. Suddenly the doctor looked at the wife a second time. "You're colored," he said, and as the young wife flushed, and denied it, he laughed. "Yes, you're colored. Come straight and admit it." "You're right," the wife, "but it's nothing to be ashamed of." "That's true," replied the physician, "but my object is to get to the bottom of this thing." Well, I was the only reply "I met my husband was the only person like a load of bricks and after we were married I feared to have children because one of them might be colored and betray me. So we have had none. "It's nobody's business. Furthermore we are leaving for Idaho in a couple of days." Taking the wife by the hand, the physician led her to the door. To the husband he said: "If I were you, I would give up any idea of ever having children."

Believe it or Not--This Boy Arranges Whiteman's Music A short account of William Grant Still's remarkably successful career as a composer and musician. IN SPITE of all the wiseacres and fundamentalists who declare that the younger generation is going to the dogs, there a.e. a few young people who are proving these declarations to be false. In this jazz age everything has been speeded up and th. cover has been pulled from many old moth-eaten theories, but the age is producing worthwhile people right along. William Grant Still, a talented young Negro. is one of the busiest men with the Whiteman aggregation, which has moved from New York to Universal City for the filming of the mammoth extravaganza "King of the Jazz Fauve." Upon this shoulders rests the responsibility of supplying the famous Whiteman organization with the many novel twists for which the or of his era is internationally known. He is recognized as one of the most expert arrangers of modern orchestra music. Some of his greatest successes were featured in Dixie Squadrade, "Running Wild" (man or Stirne) and "Earl Carrol Vanities." "I am a southerner," he informed me, as I grew up in few years later we moved to Little Rock, Arkansas, where my mother became a teacher of English in the school district. The study music in school, I was always interested in writing notes. "I suppose that seems silly, for most kids the study of notes is tedious," she said. "I suppose an author or poet could understand. Anyway, when I could, I scribbled notes instead of drawing caricatures, as most of the fellows "After finishing the schools of Little Rock, I entered Wilberforce University. Then I won the Oberlin scholarship in composition. Later I entered the New England Conservatory of Music, where I took special work under Edgar Varese, a noted modernist and a very brilliant man. In France I continued my studies in musical composition." Aside from being an expert arranger, Mr. Still has attained international fame as a composer. His symphonic works have been given at Aeolian Hall in New York, under the baton of Eugene Goosens and has also appeared on the program of the Rochester Philharmonic. The Musical Courter, in commenting upon this composition, ranks him as "one of America's really great composers." Paul Rosam says that Mr. Still was raised above that of Mihand Gershwin. His famed "Ballet La Guablassee" was written for the Chicago Arts School. Ruth Page prepared the screenplay. When the Crown Prince of Sweden was here, Still conducted a concert of Negro music for the entertainment of His Highness. For the excellent work of the composer, a letter of commendation from Mrs. Borden, a former Vanderbilt. "Leeve Land" is another composition by Mr. Still. It was introduced the late Florence Mills, and has been presented in Germany and France. To quote the Musical Counter again: "These works are so good, healthy sane—such good musical feeling—that this poses this Negro composer on a high plane in the super-jazz field now in vogue." Three other songs, "Winter's Approach," "The Breath of a Rose," and "The Song of the Negro," are fine and fine technique. The words of the songs are from poems by Langston Hughes and Dunbar—two of the Negro best loved poets. The New School for Social Research is the most standing modernists of American composers. He has also been elected The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, April 5, 1930 William Grant Still (on the left) and a friend in California 200 in Pittsburgh Choir PITTSBURGH, Pa.-A monster Saengerfest was held on the evening of Friday, March 28t.; under the auspices of the local auxiliary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

That Gets It When "A Daughter of the Congo," the most recent all-colored talking, singing and dancing album, the theatre-going public will be able to hear "That Get It," a song that is destined to become one of the most popular jazz hits ever written by two colored musicians. Roland C. Irving and Earl B. Westfied, of the younger writers, who have been successfully broadcasting over WOW, have engaged to do the theme song for this picture and their producer feels that the success of the production is largely dependent upon the song. He also plays one of the principal roles in the play, besides singing on different occasions, the theme song. His partner, Westfied, for whom he was a former business, but his radio management has persuaded him to return in order to make a personal appearance with Irving at the premiere of his new album, the team who contributed the entire score to "Malinda," a musical drama by Dennis Donahue, that is being considered for production by Fox Compton. Shapiro and Bernstein, Broadway music publishers, were so pleased, that they sent numbers that they have secured exclusive publication rights for not only these songs, but all that Irving will turn out for the next two years. Chorus Girls Think of Many Things While Show Goes On Whether Audience is Laughing at Them or at Comedians; What to Do When Pay Day Comes, and What the Boy Friend is Doing NEW YORK — It has oft- ten been a source of wond- ment just what a chorus girl thinks of as she dances the fast furious pace demanded of modern entertainers. Let Bobbie Jones, one of the bea- ties of the Alhambra troupe, tell what she thinks as she Charlestons at a dizzy pace. That's a hard question to answer, and it all depends upon which show it is. Of course, if it is the Monday matine, there is only one thing to think of when we come out on the stage, and that is the routine of that particular number. don't mind it at all." Now, I know they think about when they are on the stage dancing and laughing. Maybe they are laughing at the audience the same as the audience is laughing at them! Pittsburgh Theatres PITTSBURGH, Pa. — "Steamboat Bill from Louisville," is the name of feature attraction of the Emmi Theatre of New York, a week peek at Monday, March 31. The show is re- puted to be red hot, and carries a cast of twenty-five people. So Hill promoter and amusement manager of this city has been named the new manager of the Leonde Theatre, which has since its opening been devoted exclusively to the pro- duction of a spoken picture, first-nur- talking pictures will be introduced. "After the Monday matine, the rest is easy. That evening, after the matinee, the stage director cuts the show, eliminating some of the routine. That helps, too, but on Tuesday, when we are getting the thing down right, we have it pretty easy remembering the routines." "Sometimes, we get ballad up, but a mis-step is so noticeable, we try not to make mistakes. We have to learn these steps the same as any other actor has to learn lines. Each step has a name and when the director is staging a new show, he goes through the steps illustrating them and then fits them right to the music. "Well, so much for that. But to get back to the question, what do we think of? "Sometimes, I look over the audience and look at the setting in the room nearest the stage. I wonder what they think of the show. I see some who are making love, necking petting, or whatever you choose to call it. That always amuses me. Why do they want to perform for their demonstrations. I don't know." "Then there are theatrical agents watching the shows all the time. We wonder who they are and we are. We think home, of what we are going to do when we get off: of what we are going to do when we get paid: when we look at what has gone wrong in laughing at what has gone wrong in the back row, or what's the matter with the girl next to us? or what is the girl at our right trying to say?" Think of Stardom "I often think of how I would look sitting in the front row, looking up at the rest of the girls dance. Or, a girl in a chorus thinks on more. Some of us even think the day when we will be starred, out in front "I, for one, like for folks to know me. It is more congenial to know that you are dancers in front of a theater, dancers in front of a cold dance, dancers in front of a cold group. And some singers, leading a dance number, can put more pep into a dance than others. There are several whom I like to dance with, there are others who own a number. Cue Misses Sometimes "We often wonder what the orchestra will do next. Sometimes there is a missed cue, even from the pit, you know." All in all, I suppose I am like every other girl. I wonder, a great many times, about the boy friend and plan for the future. I don't intend to dance with you. I don't intend to end my days dancing in a chorus, not by any means. Think what I would look like in about ten years—somebody's grandmother, nickname, everybody knows what the other actors call "Hooks."

The entire original New York show, which features dancers and dancers are here, having come originally from a Harlem night club. Leonard Harper, well-known producer of several colored shows, is director of this sizzling review, which has approximately been termed as "the most elegant troupe of tanzinia on this side of the African Congo." Jazzilps Richardson, whose front name comes from the strange movements of his lower lip, is the foremost comedian of the production, and co-stars with many outstanding dancers; the splendid Russel Wooding Jubilee Singers, and the fourteen flying legs which make up the Bon Buddies; pretty Muriel Rahn, who plays the title character of the Mischievah; and scores a decided hit; Edith Wilson, who walks "Bull and Blute." Also Florence Parham, who is particularly pleasing in the number of "Miss Rabbit," and Dolly McCormack, who appears in the picture册 of the show, "The Coddled Rabbit." The waltz number of McCormack and Faulis is another specialty of the production.

Rod, being used to the ways of society, treads on the girl's foot, and is insulted for his cruelty to her fance, Reggle. To avert troubles the girl takes him into the garden, and tells her bells of his life, and a warm friendship springs up between them.

It is a warm spring evening and they stroll over to the lake and sit on it and then they come into the bar and bake a cake that becomes intertwined with the fragrance of the softness of her body, and the girl aerts embarkment by making Rod come to his senses. He is controll but she tells him that as long as they have escaped unnoticed seated there is nothing to replay. They walk back from the back to the boulevard. Lila asks Rod R to go to the beach and look for her. When he returns to the boulevard, having remembered the girl had not brought a pocketbook with her, he sees her being dragged into a car, which hit the boulevard. He snares Wolf has kidnapped her. For a paralyzing instant Rod stood claring at the fleeing car. Then whatever spell that held him was broken, and he was blinded by a sudden fire. He started running across the machine at a pace which made the wind whistle past his ears. His one thought was to climb with a thing, humanly possible. A blockway the machine started driving drunkenly from one side the street to the other, as though the driver had released the steering wheel. Rod put out the spilled blood onto his legs, as he sought to take advantage of this momentary slowing up of the car. As the machine swayed dangerously near one of the curbings so hastily boosted back his voice, the was making as much speed as a human could be expected to achieve, his pace seemed to him one of infinite slowness, and the scream he heard suddenly slow. Then what Rod had feared, did happen. The car crashed into the curbing and up over the sidewalk, careening in a manner which threatened its overturn. He was not turn over, with a screeching applied brakes, came to a shuddering halt. The half block between himself and the car, Rod covered at a pace which probably would have some records, had an eye been on hand with a stop watch. As he withdrew, the leap leaped to closely followed by a man who sought to pull her back into the machine. The man seized the girl just as Rod reached them. Without an instant's hesitation the young man leaped at Lytla. His strong, young hands clamped with angry force around the other's neck. A quick backward pressure ranked him away from Lytla, and a deft twist of the arms turned nosece, twice, three times Rod drove dist into the other man's face, and poulthed warm steam from his violin's nose. Through the mist of his rage, Rod could dimly hear Lyla shouting to him, calling for help on the arm with which he was dealing the fierce blows. He shook her hand off with a heave of his powerful shoulders, only to feel both the girl's arms twined around LYLA TURNS ON ROD "Rod. Rod--please don't hit him any more. Can't you see you are killing him? Please stop, Rod." Lila's voice was hysterical and there was a terror in it. "Slowly Rod released his grip on his opponent, who then sagged to the ground. Rod faced the girl slightly dazed. "Cash, honey. I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to catch up with you." "You are a big brute, Rod Herrick!" the girl bleared, at him. the girl blazed at him. Taken complete surprise, Rod taken to the office and Lila, what do you mean? "I mean just what I said—that you are a great big brute, always fighting. Now if you will be a enough tough, you will be off the phone and help me to get him to a doctor. I will be very much obliged, she added cold. "Reggie?" Rod coheed, amazed. "Why—why, I thought it was Wolf or his gang, and that they were kid- ing." You thought! You THOUGHT! "I repeated scornfully. You knew Aras Regrie." "Honest. Lila. I didnt." Rod pro- tested. He was running after the car, I heard you scream, and I had an idea that—" "Yes. I screamed because Regrie had let loose of the steering wheel. He was driving by and saw me stand up. I was driving and stopped and asked me what I was done there. I told him it was none of his business. Then he dragged me into the car and drove away. He would be drinking. But after all, he would be done me no harm and you had no business to beat him up like that."

"Oh, please help me get him into the car. 'I'm afraid he's hurt badly.' Without a word, and stricken at the concern in her voice. Rod lifted the other youth's arm. Rod to the driver's seat, while she climbed in with Reggie, who had now begun to moan, and move a little. Rod drive swiftly, according to the concern, and soon pulled up in front of a large brownstone house, where Llyla commanded him to halt. He leaped out, and, opening the rear door started to help Reggie, who now had regained control. Llyla pushed his hand imperiously. "Thank you, Mr. Herrick," she said silly, "but I don't think we will have to detain you any longer now. Reggie and I will manage to get along." Rod stodged rooted to the spot by hurt surprise. Then a dull anger surged through him. Wordlessly he turned on his heels. As he strode forward, a cold hold she'd beered resilient his state of mind. Lyla looked after his retreating figure for a moment, then her attention was claimed by Reggie's helmet. Lyla helped him out of the machine supporting him as they staggered up the stairs to the doctor's home. "We had an accident. Reegit." she soothed him. "An accident." **ROD DOUBTS LYIA** The next day Rod was tempted to call Lyla, but his angry pride would not a'ow it. He could not yet ignore her, but she turned on him. Perhaps it was because the sight of him fighting had frightened her. But no, that couldn't be it, for had she not stood up. She had been gangsters in the Swamp But? And had she not even risked her life by leaping on Wolf when that one had tried to shoot him? That could have been because she loved Reegit. Maybe that was it. But if that were so, why had she allowed him to make love to her, and had even told him to take care of her? After hours of fruitless consideration of the problem, he finally came to the conclusion that she was merely fickle, and that she had just been amusing herself with his awkward and from the country. He wanted to believe that this was not true, but he could find no other explanation for her actions. takes him downtown to the gymnasium. He quickly sensed Rod's morose mood. "What's the matter, Cowboy? You look so sad, the skids under you, friend." Inwardly Rod winced under the truth of his manager's joking remark. However, he showed no sign of laughing. Kling had been near the real facts. "Oh, nothing's the matter," he laughed unaccentedly. "Just don't "Don't you even feel like training?" Kling asked quickly. "Sure. I want to do some real work today." Rod replied, his eyes narrowing. I feel like I sock somebody, like I icebergs. I sure won't let you put on gloves with any of my boys today." Kling said with feigned alarm. "I should have you beating up all my fighters! You will have to take my angry spirit to a sand bag. I have good exercise. I should have strong wrists, and gives you power in your arms and shoulders, not that you need any more, though." As the days fired in quick succession, the wound wore off, but gave in its place an aloofness which gave his associates the impression that his mind was thousands of miles away from what he was doing. In the mornings he was up early and out in the nearby park doing what the boxers called "road work". Alternating between a walk log and a walk, he managed every day to increase the chance he traveled, until after two weeks he was covering an average of ten miles every morning. The muscles in his body became lean, and sharply defined. Now he was able to box ten fast rounds with his sparring partner, with no feeling oo Much ACID excess acids. 25c and 50c a bottle— any drug store. "Milk of Magnesia" has been the U. S.

Address The Phillips Co. 117 Hudson St. New York, N. Y. BOD DOUBTS LYLA THE BAR "You're a sweet girl," he told Zeda daringly of fatigue. Kling noted his progress with watchful eyes. His attention to his other fighters had not lessened—he was too good a business man for that—but anyone could see that his chief interest lay in his new bronze boxer. Now the newspaper men had learned who Rod was, and there had been several stories regarding Kling's new protege, in the game of the den. One sports writer christened Rod the "Bronze Idol"; another had called on his imagination to turn out a highly colored tale of Rod's life on the court. Now he had a professional cowboy who had thrown steers with his oak hands. The gym was now more crowded with visitors who came to watch the fighters, than it had ever been before, except in occasions when a champion was riding. BOD SHOWS HIS CLASS One day as Rod was boxing with a much smaller fellow, at Kling's suggestion, in order that he might develop more speed in his hands and feet, a well known sports wandered in and watched. After he turned to Kling. "Say, if that new boy of yours doesn't turn out to be all that we've written about him, it will sure be a big laugh on us. You know it isn't often that a whole bunch of hard boiled newspaper guys have known like your Company as much as we have. I hope he delivers. "Hope he delivers!" Kling repeated in a manner which implied the had been serious. "Why, in the sweetest king about? Ain't he the sweetest piece of fighting machinery you ever saw? Ain't he, now. Ask you?" "Yeah. I guess he is." the sports writer agreed. "I'm fighting in a ring are two different things. A lot of guys leave all their fighting right in a gym." "Not this boy!" Kling cried pridefully. "Not my Cowboy. No, sir! He's gonna be middleweight champ inside of a baller. Or eat my hat—and I too!" "When he's going to make his first start?" "I don't know yet." Kling replied cautiously. "So soon now. I guess he'll tell you something. I ain't starting him against no champs. When he makes his first start he's going to be fighting a good boy." "Do you think that's wise?" asked "Huh!" Kling laughed. Secretly, he thought Rod could who any fighter of his weight that he had ever seen. But aloud he said, "I should worry about that boy. All I got to say is that it ain't wise for anybody to try to slug with him. He's tough as iron, too. Say—just look at how he's boxing with that featherweight boy. Ain't he just about as fast as the little fellow? Ain't he now?" The newspaper man looked to where Rod was toying with his smaller stabilemant with his darker darted hat at Rod like an darted mosquito, only to meet gentle jaws of Rod's glove as he moved his arms in apparently lazy, but, in reality, amazingly swift, to meet the others through thoughts. Occasionally, the others dart around the ring after the smaller fighter, shifting swiftly on his twinkling feet, labbing with dazzling speed and once in a while shouting right hand lightness. wrote, "If he fights like that in the ring, I can't think of any of the present crop of middlewomen that could hold a candle to him—even the champion, the newspaper man muscled, made his war with the crowd in a man which immlied that he was to write something, and that he quickly as he could. KELLY AND ROD BECOME FRIENDS Kling stared after him in extreme satisfaction. "What a boy! What a boy!" he said aloud, looking at Rool. "Yeah. He's a pretty boy at that." a voice at his elbow agreed. Kling looked around at the new- Oh, so now you think he’s pretty good. eh. Kelly? he asked the blond hitter. "sure." Kelly growled. "I know a good fighter when I see one. And anyone that can knock me out is got to be good." "I thought you was mad on Cowboy because he licked you?" "Aw, we made him up days ago." Kelly informed his manager. "We're friends now, and I'm gonna be his second when he fights — that is, if you'll be able to minute Klung looked at him keenly. "I don't know nobody, rather have in, you big Irish, he fights there, you big Irisher," he said. "You really don't mean no The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, April 5, 1930 monkeyshiesh. Maybe you figure you'll cause him some trouble if you are in his corner. eh?" he shot at the other fighter suddenly. "Say! What happened? I am, huh? " Say! What happened? I like the Cowboy, and anything I can do to help, I'm gonna do it." Kling slapped him heartily on his shoulder. "That's th' boy!" MARTIN GETS CURIOUS Since his trouble with Lya, Rock had seen few people except the aim of theymight have instead he injured his room to another section of the city. Even what the Wolf might do had ceased to worry him. The events in which the gangster had figured seemed like a lull-forgotten dream. Day Mantz would see him. "The Wolf's back in town," were his first words. Rod chrugged his shoulders. "I didn't even know he had been away," he answered carelessly. "I just wanted you to know, boy friend. Don't get the idea that tough has forgotten you. He'll bop up one of these days and maybe take a shot at him." "What am I supposed to do about that?" Rod demanded. "Go hide my head in the sand, or something?" "Don't be too cucky, young fellow," Martin warned. "But what the hell's got into you lately, Cowboy Herrick. All you do is eat and sleep. You tough pains you down at Klinenium. What's happened to Lya? I started to ask her, she seems so sad these days, but I reflected that it was none of my business. What's up? Why? What's too innocent. Rody replied, a trifle too innocent. "Whatever made you think there was anything w.ng." "Well, you were all hot and bothered about Lya. A long ago, and now you are a character her. She was at a party with Reggie last night. His eyes are just now looking kinda human." "Did something happen to his eyes? Rod asked, with even more interest."

When she use of letting your sily pride cause any unhappiness between you and the girl? I tell you, she looks positively haggard, and I'll bet you are at the bottom. Rod. She has probably forgotten that she ever met me. Rod said bitterly. 'I'll certainly never remind of it.' "You are being a fool, Boy Friend." Martin assured him, earnestly. "Let's talk of something else," Rod said stiffly. "Ok. How's the prize fighting coming? When will you make your ring debut? Martin changed the subject, and he said, 'I'm glad that I've got something to occupy my mind. Kling hasn't told me just when I'm to have a fight, but it will be soon. As he puts it, it 'might' be what you are going to be doing for the next few hours." "Nothing. Kling told me to lay off today, and he doesn't mind down party fine and he doesn't want me to overtrain. I to go down town with him at four o'clock, and it's only noon now. What do you want to do?" Kling thought. "If you might like to drop in on a little afternoon party with me." Rod started to refuse. Then he smiled recklessly. "Why not? Let's go." The affair to which Martin carried Rod was an afternoon gathering of the younger set for no particular reason, except to drink ten, and other things. Rod was not a doer of other of the thunts that young folks do in this modern day. BRAZEN ZEDA When the two young men entered there was an immediate rush of girls around them. Many of them had been present the night. Rod had fought the Wolf and abashed his face with his robes with Lyla, and of its sudden ending. Their open admiration of him, and their warm friendliness, was soothing to his wounded feelings. Several of the men present also crowded around him in the faint prowess. All in all, his entrance created a small sensation which he would have found exceedingly embarrassing a few short weeks ago, but which now gave him a pleased feeling of comratship, and a tactful and unassisted suitable clothes, also added to his scus, of composure. After a while the crowd around them drifted away, as a tall, ivory colored girl with blue eyes, who had been introduced to Rod, as Zeda Carlyle had. Fortunately his eyes swept the room for Lola, but apparently she was not present. "Call me Zeda, and I'll call you Rod." the girl commanded. "Zeda, Rod," she said. "I like Rod told him matter-of-factly, as her long, blue eyes with their startling dark lashes swept over his bronze features. "Who's your girl friend?" he havent any girl friend, Rod told them, a slight frown shading his face. ZEDA ENSNARES ROD "That's fine." Zeda cried, seizing his nand. "because you've got a brand new one. How do you like that?" "Gosh-you take my breath away!" the youth ejaculated. "That's what I am supposed to do little boy." Zeda laughed was paused on a large silver pad. Zeda took one for herself and handed Rod one. "What's in it?" Rod asked, as he sniffed gingerly at the glass. "I don't know the brand of tin, most likely," the girl told him as she raised the glass to her lips. "But don't let that stop you. I drink success of our new friendship honey!" "But I don't drink." "Don't drink?" Zeda cried in amazement. "What kind of a man is this?" You see, I am in—in training. "Rod explained uncomfortable. "In training what? "Well—you see—" "Oh drink it honey, and quit stalling in the bed, as she took its glass; out of Rod's hand and oushed it toward his mouth. In order to keep from spilling the liquid, Rod bounced his lip. Promptly the girl boured the larger part of the contents of the glass between the contents of the glass between the leaves. Rod sputtered choked and leaped. Rod pulled gaily and cried aloud. "My sweetlet's likken down down the way way!" The room echoed with laughter SECRETS OF UNITED STATES Perhaps the customs officials resented findings such as these, which the author deduced from facts supplied by American publication of accredited authority.

Well, if that isn't offensive to the moral giant then it paints him with the impression that this devastating morsel of unrestrained revelation is alone sufficient to ban the book in Georgia Mississippi. According to Mr. Gaube's inexorable reasoning (and By RALPH BEWING When copies of "Uncle Sham" first reached the United States the alert customs inspector seized them, but later sanctioned their release. This official seizure made this daring book inaccessible. From beginning to end this volume penetrates the opinions of all those who believe that America is an irreproachable "moral giant." Words are not muffled, and by no means does the author "yet delightfully detached sweep, Mr. Gaulle ploughs through the emotions, the conceit, the illusions and consummate hypocrisy of American civilization. It makes no difference that he is heavily upon one type of authoritative source, such as the "Revolt of Modern Youth," "New York Nights," "Sons of Sex," and "Prostitution," in the States, which has been obtained these sources, has probably been too prudely overlooked by complacently, prosperous America. Wher stock crashes occur resuming in thousands of paupers endures and injuries and the endures is alarmed. Yet, Mr. Gauba states that the United States has been crashing morally for many "Zedas got her a man!" one of the man yelled. There was more laughter. Zeda, slim and sinuously litle, tumbled her crisp hair with a rough gesture of her hand. "Yeah, and you'd like to be my man, too," sh. threw there, too. "I was laughter. To be as much as seemed as though there was much more merriment in the room now than there was before. A feeling of warmth and napping creeping over me as the first drink he had ever taken flooded through him. "You're a sweet girl," he told Zeda daringly. "And you're a sweet boy, except you might be big and I'm afraid mugged me cat me like a bear." Zeda's voice was slightly blurred, and her eyes blazed wickedly. "Have another drink, sweetheart." Obediently, even a little eagerly Rod drained what was in his THE PASSIONATE KISS Someone started playing the piano. Couples spilled hilariously into each other's arms and began dancing. I forgot her feet, and I forgot his feet, seized Zeda around the waist and whirled her out on the floor. He found that he could dance with a great deal of ease, and even with what seemed to be a rather clever step. With her arms closed, the girl clung to Rod closely, the girl clung to Rod closely, the warm red lips, slightly parted, dangerously near to his. Music ended they went the entrance to Zeda opened her eyes looked straight and long into Rod's face, pulled a little away from him, and taking his hand, led him toward the front of the house. Halfway down the wall the girl handed her hands on Rod's shoulders. Almost savagely he pulled her into his arms. His senses swam as their lips met in a passionate kiss. The girl's hands at his hands, at his knees, again and again, until he kissed her, until it seemed that his blood was on fire. Someone at the other end of the hall, called to them lokingly. Through the mist of his emotion, and at the end of his sides, he strange look twisting his face, pulled him toward a room which opened into the hallway between them and the front door. At its entrance Rod took her again into this LYLA APPEARS "No striking in the clinches!" a merry voice warned, as their hostess, a girl whose name Rod had forgotten ran past them toward the front door. "Everything goes in this battle," Zedda cried as she shear her arms recklessly around Rod's neck. Over her shoulder she would see a couple in a house. Whether I quarred be befuddled his brain, or whether his emotion rendered him careless, it did not occur to him to release Zedda. It did not occur to him she say, "The newcomers she. She stood on the threshold of the door staring at him with wide, unbelieving eyes. He stiffened. His arms fell to his sides. He tried to step away from Zedda, but her arms clung to him. He too, had seen Lyla. She turned toward her and laughed insolently. "Come right on in," she called. "He's here—but he has. With her arms turned toward Rod's neck. Zedda drew him slowly into the room. The door closed behind them. END OF INSTALMENT V (To be continued next week.) AT THE FIRST SIGN OF A COLD Don't wait until a cold gets a grip on you before you begin treating it. Take St.Joseph's Pure Aspirin as directed and check it at the start. You will find this pure aspirin always effective, always dependable. Ask for it by name! St.Joseph's Pure ASPIRIN years, and if his book is read passionately the conclusion is compelling that the bankruptcy, insency and total failure which characterise reality is far more serious than the occurrence of a stock-erash of recent dimensions every day. It should be borne in mind that authoritative book, or the type mentioned above as authoritative, pertains to the actual chapters from the life of young boys and girls in America. There is very little theory except that which has arisen out of the dreadful consequences of the sexual ignorance among men. It is implied that a stranger to take an account of existent conditions in America and disclose them to the world in an ingenious, almost naively imperative manner. Mr. Gauba has taken a lusty-fling at everything that America holds dear—at all of the American institutions—because he has faced honest persons in this country, in breaking down much of the American hauteur and exploding much of the fallacious propagation of the American popular belief that Americans are the world's most perfect people. A few of the chapter titles indicate the radical nature of the work: K.K.K., "Accidents that Damn Lie," "Accidents Will Happen," "Fairies." Any one of these chapters are worth the price of the book. Each of them is racy, shocking, and disturbing. KW. President Hoover's "noble experiment" is called an "experiment in anarchy." This is an exceedingly apt description and indicates in no uncertain manner that it must be fully as deplorable and disgusting as it is believed to be. In this same chapter, Mr. Gauba, who is also a lawyer of no mean ability, attacks the prohibition amendment from an unusual point of view. It appears 205 appears the following message: It is quite legitimate, therefore, to question, if liquor drinking is not a crime sufficient to warrant a law to forbide, or to impose, a law requiring the importation of liquor should be an offence? In other words why not make liquor drinking for other than medicinal purposes (if Mr. Gaube will accept this modification) a crime? Binding the prohibition law to its moral and logical conclusion it seems rather difficult to answer this question. Facetiously, one could reply that some trap hole had to be left for Congressmen to place unseen traps near their morning slip to stimulate their added brains; or perhaps if liquor drinking were a crime, entire cities such as Chicago, New York, Baltimore and Washington would place unseen traps and their city limits converted into jail walls. Frankly and confessedly it must be admitted that this would result in the incarceration of entirely more 100 per cent law-binding Americans. The fun that Mr. Gaube pokes at America on the so-called Negro Problem is ribald and, moreover, is a --- "study" in black and white. He states, "there are thousands of mulattoes over the United States and not all mulattoes are born of Negro people. Well, if that isn't offensive to the morgan; giant then "Tom" Heffin lyes Negroes. This devastating morsel of unrestrained revelation is based on the Mississippi, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and other "foreign countries." According to Mr. Gauba's hexorable reasoning and who shall dispute him? It is clear that he has an expression of the Ku Kluxes sexual inferiority complex. And poligonally enough, moral "giants" nor any other sort of giants, shouldn't have such inferiority complex. While in the chapter on the Negro Mr. Gauba deals properly and logically with the treatment of the dark-skinned Americans, he discloses his own opinion. As an example, on page 145 of this volume appears the following: "Only abnormality in sex urge or other complexes of a serious or other car account can increase numbers or racial liaisons. The liaisons are frequent. They are regarded in many quarters as one of the greatest menaces with which our white civilization is faced. Foraging for swarthy men is one of the greatest threats to the modern age, and the foundation of racial bitterness." What does the author mean by "our" white civilization? Does he mean that by choice he has adopted the white civilization? Does he mean that he was invited to adopt it? Since when did England invite his Hindu subjects as equals in the Anglo-American supremacy of the world? Are any nominal that he has accepted, which Mr. Gauba himself has so forcefully deplored in America, ought not to raise Mr. Gauba to an articulate ownership. Fride of Mr. Gauba must not forage for his flesh. Consequently he must believe that the normal craving for his own flesh is a disease. It appears that the author's real attitude toward the Negro is identical with that of American white men. In characterizing him as a white civilization, he speaks the prejudiced language of the notorious K.K.K., which he denounces elsewhere in his brilliant volume. It appears that he is the demeanor of *American* on the demeanor of the Negro problem was solely to rhetorically point out the inconsistency of discrimination peonage and the arrogance of oratoric ideals on the other. From the tenor of Mr. Gauba's own personal beliefs as revealed in the chapter entitled, "Fruits of the affair of the not-so-moal giant he would enforce such a rigid observance of Jim Crow and segregation that hte "hours of delight now enjoyed in inter-racial dialogue" more lenient than "this white civilization. Other chapters of this work are equally as interesting as those mentioned. It is a book filled with case histories, eye-witness accounts and newspaper reports of modern American life. Whatever may be said of the author's personal opinions, and his dubious reference sources, he has managed to accumulate a wealth of facts which America cannot ignore.

The illness of Mr. Trimble, of Chicago, is all that disturbs me and at his request and because of this fact alone. I am arranging with a group of Chicago business men to organize a corporation and take over park and club.

So well written are these communications that it seems superfluous for me to attempt to make any comment. From a young lady, who now sojourns in a Southern city comes the following: Dear Mr. Gibson: I recent letter to your column a masculine opponent of boys' rules for girl basketball players rather forcibly drew my attention, and I am addressing my reply to you, as I feel that only from a woman can the real essentials of this situation be My opinion is based on more observation as any man's must be, but upon experience as a woman athlete, the teacher of Physical Education. I have played over 100 rules for eleven years and have played over all view- preferences would be for boys' rules. points my team a player's standpoint, the greatly increased opportunity for a higher physical development and the development and display of technique in the game, sportsmanship, etc., which boys' rules afford makes ample return for the harder training which they necessitate. Hard training is not a hard training for our girls. Physiologically there is more training time past adolescence, PROVIDED THEIR WINNING TIME is of SHORT DURATION. even under boys' rules. The danger of injury is greatly minimized if the players are coached to play open formations and are trained in the TECHNICAL, not brutal, methods of the game. There's no evading of the fact that even in the "molly-coddle" girls' rules that injuries can be received if the players are of the uncouth, rough type. We are here restricting our argument to the average and normally controlled type of young The fact that most executive boards of women's amateur athletic unions are on record as opposing boys' rules, is not a conclusive argument against my thesis for: — 1. These boards are composed of such women as nationally allied and social workers, a few physical educators, all of whom are well able to understand the athletic experience, and wholly unable to understand the modern trend of athletic affairs. 2. Such boards also have gone on record as expressly disproving intercollegiate and interscholastic competition for women and even, intra-mural contests where there is a gallery of spectators. Such features as the Olympic games are singled out as the most frequently be seen that such a group with such decadent, out-moded policies and ideals, cannot logically nor fairly be our guide. Are we to be bound by rock-ribbed conservatism or open to liberal and modern trends? Our ideal in athletics is the evolving of a perfect physique, and inevitably the athletes of today are the right athletic development in its best form, where will our healthy young Americans of the future find their mothers? Girls of today are red-blooded, virile young creatures, and no longer content to conform to the masculine ideal of feminine inferiority and frailty. The clinging vine has given us to the freely moving, sensible nature of girls, and we cannot be maintained or secured through the inadequacies of girls' rules in basketball and other sports. My discussions with many coaches of our race and a few of the other race have uncovered the fact that the younger coaches are vastly in favor of boys' rules for girls and are slow in making them girls, only because of their fear of girls in a lost cause." I have trained girls in the West, far South, and North and have not permitted boisterous or immodest behavior in their games, nor have I seen any strong tendencies toward us behavior. never had a serious injury or ease of overexertion under the playing of boys' rules, and may coaches will say the same thing. It is undeniable that many girls do not play basketball well at present, but I have only to mention the Blue Bets, Celeritas, Orioles and Washington Y.W.C.A. to remind you that there are many girls who can play basketball according to boys rules, and play it well. In conclusion, let me say that "The Old Order Changeth" — Woman is taking her place beside man politically, economically, and if she is given an even break she will soon begin to win her laurels athletically. A LOVER OF ATHLETICS. There, now, you men who would say that women are the weaker sex, can you defend yourself, or would you rather agree? And from another angle we have the following contribution, from one who confides that "I know much more." The writer says: Dear Mr. Gibson: Personally, I want to compliment you for starting a movement to arouse interest in girls' basketball. I thought you might be interested in some of my observations on the sport, and I am also a passionate fan for the state games, and the game for a number of years in various cities. You asked: "What is wrong with the girls' basketball situation?" I answer by saying poor coaching, lack of financial backing, inability to get places for practice and too little publicity, and the fact that the state which exists not only in Baltimore, but in the majority of cities. In my experience I have met few coaches, if any, who seem to have any system of coaching. The most of these coaches are rather good players, who think nothing of putting a beginner to the table, and a sample that they are seated players use, expecting the newcomer to know what it's all about. To get sufficient financial backing is as easy as solving the race problem, for there is very little money, if any, found in the box office after all expenses are paid. It is just as easy to secure a place in which to practice. ONE WHO KNOWS. So that, ladies and gentlemen, concludes another period of broadcasting — that is, er, er, we should have said this brings to a temporary close, the debate on the question, "What's Wrong With Girls' Basketball?" There will be other comments made by this scribber and by others who are interested in the subject, in later columns. And don't forget that you cordially invited to contribute to the cause. WHEN the Morgan College combination of Lanky Jones, Pinky Clarke, Rap Wheatley and Jack Spencer heard the final whistle in their game with Lincoln University, here Friday night, they also heard the final whistle in intercollegiate competition, for with that game, the Bears closed their 1930 collegiate season. This quartet of stars will pass from the battle front of action at Morgan to let a new set of dribblers and tossers have a chance. Jones, Clarke, and Spencer graduate in June, and Wheatley, if he fails, will graduate in July, for the CIAA, which will govern Morgan's participation in athletics. Seldom does it happen that an entire team graduates or leaves en masse. Cutie Brown, fifth member of the Methodist quint, dropped from the scene last fall when he accepted a teaching position at the University of North Carolina. He comes at a time when the Baltimore school lays claim to its sixth national basketball title. To rule the basketball roost for six years, or even share it with another team, is an achievement not to be sneezed at, and while the Bears suffered two defeats this year, one of them was a loss to the hands of Howard, they twice defeated these teams by decisive scores. While Morgan's intercollegiate competition is over, the Bears have several other games to play, among them the series with the Athenians for the city championship, which will start this Friday. And in connection with this series I can answer a query of an injured fan as to the relative numbers of Pinky Clarke and Chink Wyatt. It is seldom that this department makes comparisons of individual players, but it can be said here that, in selecting a team, Clarke plus Wyatt can be the best player to shoot as Wyatt, he is one of the best floor men ever to do a uniform, and his tricky style of play, his pivoting, and his general ruggedness, plus his ability to cage a now and then for good measure, make his shots more effective. Clarke was a Bith off his shooting and was not in the physical condition. Wyatt has been off the court for some this year and should be in great condition for a comeback, Friday night. But even with his ability to gun from far and near, I choose Pinky Clarke as the better all-round player. A number of fans have asked me what I think of Morgan's chances in the CIAA. next year, minns her much vaunted stars. I believe that with Hackl, Bufford, Gibson, Babe Jones, and Saunders, supplemented by more this year's freshman squad Coach Hurt and another excellent player, close to it, if not at the top of the ladder at the close of the season. Most of the reserves have not had an opportunity to show their wares against real competition, because substitutions in the big game are much more difficult between. All that these boys need is a "break" and with a certainty of that for next season, the Bears should be a plenty of trouble.

Va.-Smarting under the sing of a 30-4 defeat at the hands of Bluedfire the night before, Howard flashed a powerful offensive here Tuesday night, and defeated West Vt. State on her own court by a score of 34-31. Syphax began scoring when after 4 minutes of cautious play, tossed the ball from a corner of the court. Hall followed this up with a long shot. Syphax and Harris both scored before Willett scored the first basket for State. Thereafter, Willett proved a big factor in causing State to be kept in the scoring column, making four field goals and five free throws. Hill and Syphax Bison forward, scored 8 and 10 points respectively. At half time the score was 20-8 in favor of Howard. Two Howard Men Out State came back strong in the second half with Willett and Gls scoring from the floor before Taylor came in for Howard. Ross and Wood came in for Howard. Wood created a basket for Howard. Wood came in for Syphax who went out on fouls. Taylor was next put out, which Wood scored. Excitement grew intense as Willett score three baskets from the charity line, and Wods sunk one from the center of the court, placing State with 5 minutes to play. Just here Smith was taken out of the game and was substituted by Harriet Howard, manager of Harris Heed and a field goal, while Woods registered for State. Second Loss to Blues BLUEFIELD. W.

This triumph placed the Big Blues well toward the top in national rank in. It was one of the best teams in the champions and their second of the year at the hands of the Big Blues. The local boys started the scoring and were in front most of the way. They trailed 16-8 at the rest period, the Washington team came back strong in the second half. Some brilliant work by Syphax, Hall, and Beasley in the 16-18 midway of the final period.

A whirlwind finish to their 1930 collegiate season was furnished by the Morgan Bess, Friday night, when, with two of their stars on the bench, matched the Lincoln Lions by a 32-24 score at the press table-less New Albert auditorium. By virtue of this win Morgan claims the national collegiate title for the sixth time. It was the third and deciding game of the annual Lincoln-Morgan series, and as each team had previously won a game, one of the largest crowds of the season turned out to witness the rivalry. Not until the closing moments of the game, the team won for Lincoln rally started by Decoca, Lincoln ace, late in the final period, looked as if it might be a victory march. Both teams started off at a grueling pace, and overanxiety caused a number of fouls, but the extreme tension of the game, somehow unnerved the pitchers, the pitchers mark were missed. It was fully three minutes before Jack Spencer sliced an ace thrue the cords and from then on the battle raged, with Morgan a sloppy hit, and the pitchers times, could hardly be called a comfortable one. A double foul, with Wheatley and DeCosta as the offenders, gave an opportunity both before and afterward. Lanky Jones set himself for one of his string shots and the ball flashed through the basket. Lincoln's first goal goal came when Avery, the Lion captain, tapped one in from beneath the Wheatley Out Midway the half, Morgan was leading 9 to 6, but goals by Wheatley and goalie by Boudreau scored the local collegians score to 15, while DeCosta and Avery contributed points that raised the Lion score to 11 at half time, and the Boulder score to 14, when was banished from the game shortly before the close of the period, and hardly he left the game than Pinky Clarke. Morgan goes onward, with Boulder scoring 10, Bluford and Gibson, Morgan reserves, handled themselves like veterans during the second half, responding to the Boulder score with a big time fashion, Bluford's coolness and handling of the ball had the fans cheering, and when he tapped scored a long range shot, the game, he received a big hard. Lions Dangerous Avery, DeCosta and Ridley were the bulwarks of the Lincoln attack and defense, and this trio proved effective in the assaults. Ridley's dribbling and pivoting and the deadly line firing of DeCosta and Avery were outstanding. To fill the score standing by 24, I had to spend five minutes to play, the Lincoln rabble sent up a final plea for victory. But it was here that Gibson and Blublock were able to make the freak shot that catapulted the local team to the front for keeps. Babe Jones contributed a double-decker from close range to end the attack, and two other contributed two other field goals, both of them coming from long range. Gus Moore Leads NEW YORK, (ANP)—Gus Moore stellar runner of the Brooklyn Harriers A. A. and former national A. A. U. Cross champion, champion and winning the A. A.

He was the only Negro in the meet. Pinky Clarke, Iron Man, Ill, Forced out of Game Pinkey Clarke, the Indian rubber for the Morgan team was forced to retire from the game late in the first half, suffering a hamstring injury and was the first time he had ever voluntarily left a game. For several days, the iron man of Morgan basketball had complained of pains and just before the game did not feel fit to play. Dr. S.R. H and H. P. Hughes and Dr. Roy Berry attended Clarke and advised that he go to bed. But he would have none of the pain. He had second half came to the players' bench, the crowd roaring its admiration of his pucky spirit. With only seconds to go, the game was stopped, and the game at the basket, missed and the game was over. Then he heeded the doctor's advice and went to bed. Tim Hicks, manager of the Bears, says he believes the game was received by the Morgan-West Va. State foot ball game, two years ago.

While Reed's victory was decisive, its importance until he had battered down some staff opposition on the part of the Monumental City fighter Wills fought a good fight, not as good as some of the showings he has made, but a fight that convinced the fans that he is one of the most wiling documentaries. Wills entered the fight with a bad left eye, and it was evident after the milling started that it was giving him trouble. Doctors who examined him, however, sanctioned his participation in the In-Fighting Used Although Reed was blessed with a longer reach than Wills, the Battimore boy did not give him as great an opportunity to utilize his strength, but the battle consisted of in-fighting.

It was undoubtedly one of the closest and most exciting fights that the New York boxing fans have witnessed in years, and many fans believe that plans are already on foot for a return match that has not only been demanded by the general public, but by the leading sports writers on the Metropolitan dalles. McLarnin himself admitted the Thompson is the best man that he Pace Is Fast There was steady, fighting from the very first going and both boys were on the field, sonned and well trained fighters that they are. Not until the fifth round did things take a radical turn. Young Thompson weaved out of his corner with a jab and stunned with a hard left jab that stunned him for a moment, and kept Jimmy continually backing away before it was too late to reach the body that had the crowd yelling for a knockout that looked all most certain. Jennings, white of the Evening Graphic, after viewing the fight, said: "I believe him a superior fighter to Jackie Fields, welterweight who holds two verdicts over him. Thompson Fouled Thompson was pressing McLarnan so hard that Jimmy fouled him five times during the fifth round three hitters low and once for using a backhand. Although McLarnan's tactics were quite obvious to all those about the ring, Thompson did not offer a singl ring. Thompson did not firmly down to business until the gong sounded shortly afterwards. Johnson Fight Recalled The fouling of Thompson recalled the Larry Johnson-Maxie Rosen bloom fight, in which Johnson was hit by the punch because he hit the white boy ONE. Braw was the decision handed Thompson that a white writer, sitting at the ringside, said: "Had it been a white boxing the Ishmil boy might have been better. It was the first time McLarnin he ever fought a Negro. Thompson took the fight on eight days notice getting the call while vacationing in Las Vegas, aLst year the New York Boxing Commission refused to let him boy Jackie Fields because he was considered unfit to meet the welter champion. He was given him on short notice with a man cooled better than the champion. Blood Aplenty One of Thompson's hard blows Jimmy's nose, in the fourth, starts the Irishman to bleeding profusely so much so that he had to be stained by Doc Bagley, one of Jimmy McLarnin retaliated by drawing crimson flow from Jack's mouth and at the end of the last round both boys were punching away each other so religiously that the two hearts were torn in the punches before realized that the affair was all over May Meet Again This fight proved conclusively the Thompson is a fighter of rare quality and if the two meet anywhere on the field, he will be Garden, next time they mix it, predict win for the Chicago lad.

Business Has Sharp Gain Five Months, Including January Sales Total $456,485,800 Increase $52,983,043 The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company has noted no slowing up in its business as a result of the current business recession. On the contrary, sales have shown a marketward trend since the stock market break of last year. So favorable has been the showing of Great Atlantic & Pacific that the United States Department of Commerce has requested the company, the largest chain store organization in the world, to make public its sales figures. These figures, which are especially significant for Great Atlantic &零售, with its 15,000-and-odd grocery and meat stores, covers practically the entire country and its business, therefore, is not unduly influenced by local conditions in any one section. The sharp advance in sales since the beginning of last October reflected a growing business of established stores rather than an increase in units as the change in the number of locations in operation as compared ING PO TRUM with the similar period of last year was less than 1%. Sales during the five-week period included in January of the current year rescheduled the high mark of $104, 270,933 as compared with $91,582,770 in the similar period of last year, a gain of $12,288,183, or 13.36 per cent. The gain in December, 1928, was $12,348,847, or 16.48 per cent. in November, $9,870,182, or 15.36 per cent, and october $12,565,683 or 13.44 per cent. In view of the sharp decline in prices of many lines carried by the company physical volume of business handled is perhaps the better index of the company's businesses have oweed to coffee, butter and eggs as well as in other items that constitute an important part of sales volume. The extent of the drop in commodity prices as it affected the company's business is indicated by the fact that for the first time in 1921 it is possible for a Great British & Pacific customer to buy a pound of coffee, a pound of butter, a dozen eggs and a loaf of bread, all of standard quality, for about $1.00. Lower Prices Boost Tonnage However, the effect of these falling prices on the dollar sales has been more than offset by the increased volume of business which has been obtained as a result of the lower retail prices of important items like Pacific & Pacific's tonnage sales totalled .3425, an increase of 66.835 tons, or 26.7 per cent from January, 1929.

Alumni and friends of the two institutions crowded the church for the first debate between the two colleges in the North. Fisk University's victory over Northwestern University, white, added interest. "The subject was: Resolved, That the System of Trial by Jury Should be Abolished." The chief contention of Lincoln was that the jury system should be abolished in criminal cases. They held that the system had outlived its usefulness and that public opinion is against it. They pointed out that the jury was subject to the influence of the court and that in many Proposed Anti Stirring up Hertzog, Premier, Reaches Our Lands. All Gatherers to B and Books to CAPE COLONY, South Africa. — Generals Monys and Hertzog were burned in effigy at Johannesburg at a demonstration in which twenty thousand Negroes participated. The object of the meeting was to protest against the increasing number of unjust laws. At a similar demonstration in Natal, there was a clash with the police, and at Potchefstroom (Transvaal) where another meeting of the Negroes were attacked by a band of Europeans, and several on both sides were wounded. One of the natives, Hermanus, is dead as a result of injuries received. Three Europeans were arrested, one of whom has been held in $5,000 ball. Strikers A pay $1.75 a Day. At East London the native railway workers are on strike, the company having refused to dem a minimum salary. At Carruron, Cape Colony, there was a demonstration of natives before the Town Hall. A clash resulted when the police attempted to disperse them in which the mayor, several white persons, and natives were Leader Jailed Natives of all factions are being called on to unite. New Africa, organ of the I.C.U. Independent, carries an article by Clements Kadalle leader of this organization, the Champion, leader of the I.C.U. of Natal in which all are called on to unite against "the increasing, terror being shown by the South African government." The government received from the Cape by the London Times, the South African party led by Smuts, who is in opposition to the government party led by Hertzog, has voted to let each member of the Smuts party vote according to his own opinion, against the Negroes. This decision is said to mean that the Hertzog government will have a free hand against the natives. There is in Parliament a Biosocial Assumption Act which calls for stringent methods, and it is believed that this will become law. Under its provisions every individual, British or other, who is found guilty of carrying on agitation among natives, will be sent into native reserves by other than South Africans will be illegal; further, all gatherings of natives will be forbidden, and it is hoped that the law will make it possible to prevent the circulation of all newspapers and magazines among the Negroes. We will not law another law is the Masters' and Servants' Act forcing all male Negroes between the ages of 18 and 60 who do not work at least three months in a year to pay an additional tax of $25 a year. To the per cent who do not work at least three months be added not less than five lashes. Naturally by the term, work, is meant employment by a white person. The Governor-General, the Earl of Athlone, in his opening speech to parliament, said that he was against the exciting of the natives to revolt, was not sufficiently strong and needed revision. As to the question of political representation by the natives which has long been subject to the decision to be decided the present session. White Workers, Against Black White Workers Against Bake At a Woolworth Congress held at Johannesburg, the South African Workers Party discussed as its principal topic how to guarantee a higher standard of living among the white workers.

The jury, declared the Lincoln speakers, was anxious to get home, which tempted it to hurry through decisions. Several cases were died when the jury was violated. Their alternative was the substitution of a board of three judges. Jury Evils Denied The Fisk team contended that the evils complained of by Lincoln were not due to the jury, but to the legal procedure. They pointed out that the jury was responsible for only a negligible part of the evils mentioned. Investigation of legal experts, they said, shows that only five per cent of the jury was responsible for to the jury, while seventy per cent was due to the prosecutor and twenty-five per cent to the police. They held that the remedy needed was the reformation of our legal system, and that the selection the jury was wrong. They called attention to the error in the decision in appeal cases where over 0.000 errors have been made in the jury's decision. Juries, the Fisk team held, could be available for one-third of these mistakes. Debaters for Lincoln were Oscar C. Chapman and Clarence M. Mitchell for Fisk, J. C. Brown and Lawrence E. Redick. I-Negro Laws p South Africa But His Hands for More Native be Forbidden. Newspapers be Shut Out of the natives was roughly treated himself. To have more natives to exploit, the Hertzog party is trying to bring the three protectorates of Swasland, Bechuanaland, and Basutoland under white rule. For all mankind only taking away their goods and property but forcing them into the ranks of poorly paid workers. These three black protectorates have prospered well under their own management, which is supervised by whites.

Burroughs © A.N.P. A woman asked me the other day "Aren't missionary societies going out of style?" "No," said I. "Well," said she, "they must be dying out then or there is something wrong because we have more than a dozen of them in our town and they seldom have more than a corporal's guard at their meeting." There must be something wrong." I told her that the trouble in the majority of our missionary societies is that he women who run them have gone out of style, run out of gas or just plain dead. The majority of our missionary societies need just what some of our dresses need—nipping up in an airplane and running over according to up-to-date patterns or on new lines. Women who cannot make their own dresses over should have them done by a dressmaker who can. That is just what presidents who have old fashioned missionary societies should do. Sometimes it is cheapest to have the old one move over. A missionary society that is too worn out to make over needs new material out of which to make a new up-to-date society. **Dying in Harness** We often hear leaders talking about dying in the harness; they keep you from falling. They allow it to dry rot they cannot pull the load. Their old rotten harness will break. Some of them repair it. Others wear odds and ends of leather, pieces of chains and rags. Roy S. Bond Attorney-At-Law Announces The Removal of His Residence A leader with worn out methods, fossilized ideas who sings at every meeting. "I've anointed you," the hail has has passed making the hail has anchored. The Missionary society should go on and sail the wide, seas with God. There is no denying the fact that the major missionary society solicits grave graveyards with less hope of resurrection of the dead than there is among the really dead out in a sure enough graveyard. Many missionary leaders let their sings be heard and then have the temerity to sit down on the caskets and sing. "My soul be on thy guard." 1517 Druid Hill Ave. (Across The Street) HOME HOURS: 7 P.

They must know their material and keep it up to date. 2. They must have pep-spirit. The dead can't move the living. Our missionary societies need women who are spiritual dynamos. 3. In dress these missionary sisters must be within hailing distance of the style. 4. They must be good mixers and not good hypocrites. 5. They must be missionary magnets. They must draw people or they are useless. Missionary leaders should have clean, attractive homes because the major part of the work of a missionary leader is to teach by example the right way to live. Their homes must be clean, attractive, and should have the home atmosphere. Women who cannot measure up to these six fundamental requirements are unfit for leadership in the greatest environment has been ordered to carry on.

Crisis Article Termed Deliberate and Politically Crooked Trick NEW YORK CITY. — The essential agreement of the program of the N.A.A.A.C.P. and that of the American Negro Congress cited by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois in the current issue of the Crisis is denounced by Cyril Briggs, national secretary of the Congress, as a deliberate and politically crooked trick. As an example of "political crookedness" of DuBois, Briggs states: "It is highly significant that he omits all mention of the central slogan of the Congress, namely, the design of the political, economic and social equality. "The significant to this omission is increased when we remember the complete surrender of the NAACP, on this question, that we are under the sponsorship of the association during the last presidential campaign in which the Negro petty-bourgeoisie crawled on its belly before the white bourgeoisie."

Two lonely years of silent sorrow, Two long years of grief and pain; Two long years of tears, God dear one, That we shall meet again. Long and patient was the suffering Of my husband I love so well; The blow was hard, the shock severe I little thought that death would come. Not gone from wife memory Not gone from wife love But gone to dwell with Jesus In his great home above How happy we were in the days gone By what the circle was fully complete; But now it is broken my loved one is gone To sleep at the Saviour's feet. Some day we hope to meet On that beautiful shore; Our circle will then be complete Some time, some day our eyes shall see The face I love so well Some day his hand shall clasp in my And never say farewell. Farewell darling, may your slumber be As gentle as your love And when God shall call us home May we meet in heaven above Sadly missed by a lonely wife, CORA E HARMAN, 702 Benjamin St., Elmira, N. Y.

SHARP STREET PASTOR ASKS $600 BACK PAY SHARP STREET PASTOR ASKS $600 BACK PAY (Reprint form last week's Star Edition) What was said to be a long brewing feud between pastor and a group of officers of Sharp Street M. E. Church, broke through the surface Sunday, when the Rev. W. A. English appealed directly to members of his congregation to pay him back salary to the amount of $600. "The appeal made in a meeting of the members following the morning services, called by the pastor, resulted in a direct vote to turn over to the pastor, the entire day's collection of $237. In his statement, the Rev. Mr. English told the membership that the officials had failed to pay him and asked for a showdown. A member of the official board present at the meeting told the pastor that there were other unpaid bills besides his, and suggested a collection. The board member also stated that M. Churches were not responsible for money due pastors after they left the congregation or which had not been raised during the pastor's term of service. Financial Crisis Members of the church say that the congregation is facing a financial crisis. Recently the janitor told officials that unless part of $300 back pay due him was paid, he might lose his home. Several other paid workers in the church have not received all their pay, it is said. On the other hand, members charge that under the Mr. English the finances of the church have dwindled for lack of program. Mrs. Malone Gives Church $3,000 ST. LOUIS, Mo.-Mrs. A. E. Malone, president of Poro College, gave St. James A.M.E. Church a $3,000 lot with a frontage of 50 feet adjacent to the present church property. Pastors Endorse Congressman ST. LOUIS, Mo.

THE CHURCHMAN Dr. Moreland in Detroit Dr. J. E. Moorland, of Brooklyn, N. Y., delivered the anniversary address at the Detroit Y.M.C.A. Sunday afternoon. The Y celebrated its fifth anniversary. Bishop Wallis Pictures Union of All Methodists Complete union of all Protestant denominations, both white and Negro, was predicted last week by the Rev. William J. Walls, Chicago, bishop of the eighth district diocese of the A.M.E. Zion Church. Bishop Walls was in New Bedford, Mass., to pay his annual visit to Douglass Memorial Church. Although the persons of the present generation will never see the merger of all Protestant groups, the ultimate combination is inevitable, Bishop Walls said. "Evidence of this merger may be found on every hand," he added. "Not only it is evident among the white denominations, but among Negro groups as well. That is the recognition is the recognition being given by one race to another, especially the white race for the persons of the Negro race. It is this spirit of unity and common purpose that will end with all groups working together for one common aim, in place of pulling apart for the same things. This merger must necessarily be very determined, but yet it is coming." About 1,000,000 are now included in the membership of his church, about one half of them adults, the bishop said. In speaking of the New England conference, he explained that is the third largest in size and membership of the fifty-two conferences of the denomination, only those of New York and Philadelphia being larger. Two definite aims are now held before the church in this conference, he explained. It is attempting to revive enthusiasm for worship for worship and to maintain religious convictions of the youth of the denomination. "I am a firm believer in the creation of community houses as a means of carrying on church work." Bisho Walls explained. "In connection with this idea is the erection of main and辅助 playgrounds. Probably the best such Negro community center is that in Springfield which is supervised by the Rev Arthur DeBerry, a Congregational pastor." New York Baptists Programs have just been issued for the Semi-Annual Session of the New York State Baptist Association and its three Auxiliaries to be held in the Southern Baptist Church, 13 E. 134th Street, April 9, 10, 11.

C. W. Stewart, pastor. Jobs have been found for at least 25, Dr. Stewart declared. Dr. Stewart and Rev. D. A. Thomas, assistant pastor of the church are heading a committee of 25 who are ministering to the unemployed and destitute of the church. All funds have been raised by members of the church.
