Capital Silent Inquiries at the Bureau of Census, however, failed to throw any official light on the matter as Director Siegentl stated positively that "no such incident had come under his notice." He said that he had answered whether any agency had having applied numerator would dismiss any such complaint.

(CNS)—Senator William J. Harris, of Cedartown, white, whose term expires March 4, opened the debate on the United States Senate, by protesting to Director William M. Steiner of the Bureau of the Census against the use of Negro enumerators in Georgia. Mr. Steiner said it was represented that Negro enumerators were better qualified to take the census among Negroes. He said, "missed that whites could take the census of Negroes better." Harris was himself Director of the Census, and he knows well that colored enumerators have been employed in taking the census heretofore. Edwards Follows Suit Representative Charles W. Davis of the Georgia district, also "rushed" a similar vigorous protest to Director Stewart.

The absence of "jim crowism" was in perfect accord with the principles of the N.A.A.C.P., and that congregation always "spoils the manners of white people."

Florence is suing Thomas for $15,000 a year, a sum which she says, he paid her as long as she lived and whether she married or not. He paid it, she says, from 1918 to 1925, and then stopped. He owes her $45,000 in arrears, she says, although the agreement to this effect was burned when her lawyer's office was destroyed. Friends of the millionaire in the court fight now expose a deposition made by Florence in 1908, three years before she married Manville, in which she paid her $40,000 sums from February to October to Richard Ellis. This money was part of her carmines. Ellis was described as a (sweet) man who "lives wholly or in part on the earnings of women." She complained, she said in the deposition, after Ellis had beaten her over a court found Ellis guilty and gave her six-month sentence for vagrancy. Nicholas Gordon (white), attorney for Florence, claims that she knew Ellis as a South American. She made money from other men and brought it to him. He married to another white woman, he pawned his effects to pay for medical attention for Florence during an illness. Three years later, in 1911, she married her asbestos worker, Mrs. Hawkins, whose asbestos made his millions in insulation for furnaces and pipes. They were divorced in 1919 and Tom, Jr., is accused of trying to trap his dad with his wife just discarded. He married what kind of woman she was before they married.

A. A. C. P. Fights Senate Confirmation "I beg to advise that I knew about Judge Parker's speech in 1920. I saw the newspaper reports." This was the reply of Dr. James E. Shepard, president of North Carolina College for Negroes, at Durham, to a question of the AFRO-AMERICAN as to whether or not he knew of Judge J. J. Parker's opposition to Negro suffrage before, he. Dr. Shepard, endorsed Judge Parker as "absolutely fair and impartial in his attitude on all racial questions and on all questions affecting the rights of humanity."

Overman, (Dem., N.C.) and is published in full on the editorial page of the AFRO this week. It was printed last week in the Greensboro, N.C. Daily News. Continuing his statement to the AFRO in his statement referring to Judge Parker's speech in 1920, quoted below by Mr. White, Dr. Shepard said: "I have never heard Judge Parker make any such reference to the Negro. I know his personal friendly attitude to my race and to me. "I believe that. If he is elevated to the Supreme Court Bench that the Negro will have no fairer friend. I do not take a campaign utterances as being the true test of the man. I can speak simply for myself." N.A.A.C.P.

TRAIN LYNCHING IN GEORGIA IS SOUTH'S NEWEST Pullman Porter's Body Found Tied to Tree in Locust Grove CREW SUSPECTED Woman in Berth as Man was Removed MEMPHIS, Tenn., (ANP.) A mysterious cloak of silence has been placed around the circumstances of the lynching of J. H. Wilkins, a Pullman porter of Kansas City, Mo., who was taken from the Southern Railroad special express, running between Miami, Florida, and Kansas City, Friday night, and slain. The body of the porter, dressed in his Pullman uniform, was found by some small boys, tied to a tree at Locust Grove, Georgia. When reports of the murder were first made known, it was not disclosed in the report the porter had seized and taken from the train. The train was not supposed to stop between Macon and Atlanta, Georgia, but it is learned that a stop was made at Juliette, seventeen miles from the scene of the murder. Wilkins was last seen at Macon at three o'clock in the morning. It is believed that the killing must have occurred about half past four, as other porters claimed. He have missed him first at o'clock. Two other porters, who were supposed to continue in the train to Kansas City, were not allowed to do, so but were stopped in this city. Woman in Berth According to unofficial reports which have leaked out, Wilkins was taken from the train through the window of berth No. 7. The had a dog, which was allowed. This dog was allowed to leave the train when it reached the city, also. The belief has been expressed that Wilkins came to his death at the hands of the wicked man, some action on the part of Wilkins had aroused the fire of the crew, and that they stopped the train at Locust Grove, and, after stabbing him, one of their number dragged his body near a quarter of the away and ticed it to the sainte. There were footprints from where the train stopped to the eruption, were the footprints of Wilkins. A line of blood drops ran parallel to the footprints. **Porter 12 Years—no blood** Although one white woman passenger on the train said that she had admonished Wilkins earlier night about drinking, he him that he was a borer for twelve years without a blot on his record. Passengers on the train said that Wilkins and the other poors had intentionally courteous and attentive to them. At the time he was taken from the train he was supposed to be on watch for the other porters who were asleep. JUDGE HARRISON IN WRECK TALAHASSEE, Fla. — Judge William H.

CHICAGO, (ANP.) — Oscar Depriest, congressman from the First District of Illinois, and Roscoe Conkling Simmons, orator, woke up early Wednesday morning to realize that they had been in the fight of their lives. The practical politicians, up until a week ago, had refused to concede Simmons any chance, despite his undoubted ability to make speeches. "It won't get him anywhere," they declared. "It takes organization to woke and DePriest has the organization." Wright Backed Simunons Up until Monday night, Simmons had no backing, but suddenly there was action. The Deneen second ward organization led by Edward H. Wright and State Senator Adolph Marks passed a resolution endorsing Simmons who responded with a two-hour dramatic oration. Senator Deneen, in an address at Waterloo High School, Sunday, endorsed Simmons, Mrs. McCormick, in an address at the 8th Regiment Armory, endorsed DePriest. Cole Follows Suit The late Dan Jackson's large funeral corporation with 90,000 policyholders and 275 solicitors of people daily is now managed by James Cole who lined up behind Simmons also at the last moment. The cole eleven office girls at the college of Simmons and started turning out literature for him. The entire staff of solicitors was put to work for Simmons and paid extra for carrying his message around against Simmons. They pooh-poohed his oratory and declared there was nothing solid behind him. In a two-hour speech Monday night Simmons mentioned DePriest but Thompson Behind DePriest DePriest occupied a stronger position. The Thompson organization behind him was the only one in the nation which remained undefeated. Hundreds of jobholders were fighting for their positions as well as for the congressman. The congressman's ability to serve his constituents while in office made friends for outside of the political organizations, he had personal employees making a door to door caravan of the words "I will not return" to retain his seat because of a sense of personal obligation.

OPEN A CHARGE ACCOUNT "FAIR" STORE OPENING RESTRAINED BY COURT McCvory 5 and 10 Cent Store Claim Lease Would be Violated by Venture THE "FAIR" PROTESTS Answer to Injunction is Due Friday. WASHINGTON, D. C., (CNS) — White department stores are not anxious for the opening of the "Fair," a department store advertised to open here April 15, manned entirely by colored clerks. The McCrystal five and ten cent stores corporation which is 312 year old, opened in 820 to 826 West Street, running from October 1, 1919, to September 30, 1950 claims that their lease contains an agreement not to conduct a department store on these premises, and they are asking for an injunction to prevent the processes of opening department store from opening at that place. On June 24, 1927, according to the bill, McCrystal sub-leased a part of the property, to the Surprise Stores Company, to white, for a period of ten years which lease has eight years to run. This sub-lease also contains an agreement for bidding a department The McCroy company claims that if the new colored department store has been given the main lease it will violated and they the McCroy Stores Company will be subject to great hardships, unjust damage, a forfeiture from the premise of forfeiture of the building and improvements.

MAGGIAGES, DEATHS AND BIRTHS, ON PAGE 19 Fair, the intended colored department store enterprise, claim that the business, which they plan to operate, although a department store, is not a new business on these premises. They point out that the business which they will conduct has been conducted by the Surprise Inc. for the two years without payment from the owners or the lessor. The only change, they claim, will be in the policy of the store which makes it possible for them to hire a colored sales force. Officers of the Mercantile Trading Company, W. H. C. Browne, president of the Industrial Bank, vice president; Charles Flagg, secretary, are confident that the injunction will be denied when they respond on behalf of the planners for the greater opening of the store on April 15. To this end 5 colored young men and women are being trained in salesmanship and are studying the stock of colored workers are being assigned to other tasks in this store.

CLAIM PROPERTY Appeals Court Decides Share in Husband's Estate Depends on Conduct Home at 766 Fairmont Street Remains His WASHINGTON, D.C.—A wife who violates her marital vows forfeits her interest 1: the home held by her and her husband jointly when her interest is given to her upon the implied condition that she would remain faithful, the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia held in the case of Jerome B. Osborne against Ruth A. Osborne, who is now Mrs. William E. Dobson. Osborne and the former Ruth A. Wellborn were married, June 25, 1920. They have one child, Gloria, whose custody was given to Osborne. The home at 761 Fairmont Street was purchased January 31, 1924, the deed being jointly in the name of Osborne and his wife. Osborne obtained an absolute divorce from July 12, 1927, on charges of misconduct. Osborne based his suit to divest his former wife of her interest in the property on the ground that his sole consideration or having the deed transferred himself upon the implied condition that she would remain faithful to her marriage and that the premises should be occupied and used as a home for themselves and their child. He allowed her to work without failful conduct she violated the condition upon which she became a joint tenant. The case turned on the single question of whether or not the premises were in the property and if the infidelity worked a forfeiture of her interest in the property since she furnished the consideration for the purchase of the property and has kept up the $7 monthly payments required of him. Equity is the amount of money invested in its opinion, "where the conveyance was made in reliance on the mutual good faith of the parties, and subsequently the grantee becomes unfaithful and thus betrays the confidence reposed which constitutes the consideration for the The decree of the District Supreme Court was reversed and the case was remanded to the court.

S. Supreme Court." Memo Offered Overman Upon request of Senator Borah, a member of the sub-subcommittee, Mr. White read for and for an audience of members of the board of directors of the N.A.A.C. Questioned by Senator Overman, of North Carolina, concerning the South. Mr. White offered to procure for the record of this hearing, instances of such disfranchisement in Senator Overman's own state of North Carolina, his offer Senator Overman declined. N.A.A.C. is long Memory. On his return to New York, Mr. White said of the hearing: The protest on behalf of Negroes against the judge of Judge Parker, registered in Washington. It helped to crystallize the opposition to Judge Parker in the Senate. Moreover, the fact that an utterance made by the judge of Judge Parker, by the N.A.A.C., emphasized its long memory; and will make other southerners with political aspirations, more guarded in their utterances in the case than was Judge Parker the most. Dr. Shepard's Letter Retreated "It is to be regretted that a North Carolina Negro educator saw fit to write a fulsome report in the face of Parker's derogatory and insulting statement concerning colored people." As a result of the attitude of men like, Judge Parker, North Carolina governor, test of our disfranchisements 500,000 elicible Negro voters in that state, where 700,000 whites and only 10,000 Negroes are qualified to vote.

Mr. Connolds overman L. E. Austin, also of Durham, wired the N.A.A.C.P. as follows: "Statement of Senator Overman that Negroes voted for Judge John J. Parker for Grace, twenty absolutely false and without foundation. If you will secure extension of hearing we will furnish affidavits of our thousand Negro votes of this state. Overman's statement.

Leader Scouts Hoover View of Color Line There ISSUE REVIVED U.S. to Name Diplomatic Representative WASHINGTON. - Representations that a colored man would be unacceptable to Haiti in a diplomatic post were scouted by Robert R. Church, political leader, of Memphis, Tenn., who was here last week. Reports to the effect that a colored man as the diplomatic representative of the United States would not be acceptable to the Haitian government were renewed at the time President Hoover appointed the commission headed by W. Cameron Forbes of Boston, Mass., to investigate the situation in the island republic for him. No colored person served on this commission, and the reason given for the failure of the President to include a colored man on his commission was that the Haitian government objected. Minister Interest continues in the Haitian attitude toward the appointment of a colored man as the diplomatic representative of this country in Haiti because of the adoption by the President of the recommendations of his Haitian commission. These recommendations provide for the abolishment of the office of American High Commissioner, which has been held by Brig. Gen. John H. Russell for nearly eight years, and for the appointment of a non-military minister to take over the office. Mr. Church based his disbelief of reports of Haitian objections to the appointment of colored men to diplomatic posts to be filled in that country on a letter which he received in 1922 from Justice Charles Evans Hughes who was then Secretary of State under the late President Harding. Church Declined Justice Hughes wrote Mr. Church that it had been suggested that he might be of service to the Haitian government, as an adviser in business and financial matters and that the Haitian government through its minister had extended an invitation to him to come to Haiti as an adviser. Mr. Church declined the appointment.

CONVENTIONS Rows and Disputes Feature Many County G.O.P. Conferences HOOVER ROUTED Lily-Whites Forced to Take Back Seat ATLANTA, Ga. — County G.O.P. Conventions held all over the state Saturday indicate that Ben Davis editor of the Independent, is in power again. Mr. Davis announced Monday that the group headed by himself and G. F. Flanders is in control of the State Central Committee which will decide convention contests. Savannah, Griffin, and Brunswick county conventions split and will have two delegations at the state convention April 19. Hoover leaders who are responsible for Davis's retirement as national committeeman in 1928 are backing Josiah T. Rose, internal revenue collaborator. Their aim is a lily-white party. In Savannah, Mrs. George S. Williams. Hoover critic, made the motion that the voters endorse Hoover and his administration. Workers point out that this was strategy of Mrs. Williams to keep her place as national committee woman although Hoover's lily-white have ignored her en- In his paper, Saturday, Mr. Davis said: "We are surprised at the importance of the white men who want to take charge of the party in the State. They seem to think that a white face is everything necessary to put them in power. Regularity and party authority mean nothing to them—a white face is everything.

Murphy, editor and publisher of the AFRO-AMERICAN until his death in 1922," declared Rev. David G. Mack pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church, Saturday. The AFRO club celebrated at its noon meeting the eight anniversary of the death of John Murphy. Dr. Mack traveled an address. Other AFRO employees memorialized at the same time were: Mrs. Lavinia S. Henry, Daniel H. Murphy, Franklin F. Johnson, William H. Habb, Percy Borron, William Pead, David Furman, W. S. Frisby, Miss Sadle Carter and Hezekiah Hand. This is the third of a series of AFRO stories about couples happily married. There are so many stories of couples parted in divorce with sensational cases in court, that the AFRO has determined to provide attention to the marriages which have succeeded. Job-holding and delicatessen meals may hold some marriages together, but an attractive home and an "all-time" wife and mother constitute the recipe that Mrs. Howard Brown, 2346 McCulloh Street, has found a standby in her eighteen years of married bliss. Mrs. Brown is the mother of four charming kiddies and, Mr. Brown says, is much of a "kid" herself. She laughingly admits that she has never held an outside job, nor earned two cents, but has devoted her entire time to keeping her home, her children and herself attractive, "and this." she says, "is sometimes too big a job for one woman." Co-operation, the Secret "Seriously though," said M r s. Brown, "just plain old cooperation, is the secret—working together towards common aims, for the interest of both parties, being tolerant of each other's faults and equally appreciative of each other's virtues, seeing the happy side of things. "One can always find something to be grouchy about if one makes a hobby of being a grouch. "Develop interests that will be common to each. Of course, no two people will like all of the same things. For instance, Howard doesn't like movies and I don't like ball games. So Howard sees his games and I see my pictures. No use of trying to make people like things they don't like. Children a Bond "Then there are the children. With all the divorces where there are children concerned, it seems rather illogical to say that children hold marriages together. But I do believe that where the father is given a chance to get attached to his sons and daughters—not just see them week-ends, but let him help care for them, play with them, work for them, just as the mother does—he will be just as much attached to them as the mother Not Always Smooth "Of course, everybody has his ups and downs, and we both make mistakes. I won't say either that I haven't quarreled at times, but we both have a sort of an understanding not to quarrel at the same time. And when I have had my say, well, the most of the tempest is over."

Advertisement) High School Teacher Okeys OVER 150 DAILIES Use of the Word "Nigger" NOW CAPITALIZE History Association Commends One-Act Play of Miss Mae Miller which Uses the Objectionable Epithet Six Times. Volume Recommended Specially for High School Use. FOR IGN G PRESS NOTES WORDS OBJECTIONABLE TO NEGROES NEW YORK—Newspapers in Europe public asked disgrace of the statement released to the press by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, pointing out that "nigger," "darkey," "Negress," and "plekawain" are words objectionable to colored people. The N.A.A.C.P. has just received clippings of this cabled dispatch from: London: Star, Dally Express, Dally Herald; Paris: France, N.Y. Herald; Birmingham: Mall, Nottingham; Evening Post: Leeds: Yorkshire Evening News; Feicester: Mercury. "I have no scruples against using the word 'nigger' or any of the words we taboo, when portraying a character who in life uses them, and when it is necessary to set forth the true picture of that character as is." Thus spoke Miss May Miller, a teacher in Douglass High School, whose o.ie-act play, "Riding the Goat," is printed in the Negro history association's newest book of "Plays and Pageants from the Life of the Negro by Willis Richardson." In the play, the word "nigger" occurs six times. The volume was prepared especially for advanced students in high school and college. Asked if she thought it proper for high school students and their parents to use and to hear the word from the stage, Miss Miller said: "The criticism that these words should not be used in high schools could be answered in the same vein. You cannot keep from even high school students the facts as they exist. We have men and women, white or colored, who use the words we tazoo, it is no more a recommendation that those words be used when we write them in a play, than it would be a recommendation that they be used when, in telling a news episode, they are written in a news story. What I have done in this play is to portray characters. It just happens that these characters use these terms." Reminded that there are blasphemous, obscene and unprintable words which one almost never sees far may writers' "license" permit their usage. She said: "Personally I would not use the word 'nigger'. But when an author portrays a character she has no alternative other than to allow that character to speak in his or her own words. It is like drawing a picture, or writing a news story, as is. You may tahoo the word as used, but if you paint the picture true to life, you must use the words which that character uses." (Washington, D.C. Advertisement) A. Bits of the context from Miss Miller's play are as follows: "Now think that, honey, 'cause you must be tired to run all day in this heat 'tending niggers.'" "I clare ev'ry time that nigger gets his shirt off he he gits 'nother spell of the rumpliness.'" "I don't see why I couldn't be gran" "same as some nigger from the" "outside." "Much better 'n some uppish niggers I knows, wid new fangled idens." knows wid new fangled ideas" "that rigger prasms mosc"—when he's leadin' that bant in parades or shoutin' in church on Sundays. "Duth, you ought be 'shamed of yourselves' again, but your own folks 'some wiggle' above." Dr. Woodson Approves Dr. Carter Woodson, head of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, told the APRO Wednesday that he approved Miss Miller's stand, but at the same time pointed out that the association has published a book that brought out the book. He owns stock, he said, in the publishing company. Dr. Woodson declared that he resigned from the editorial staff of the Dictionary of Biography because it declined to capitalize the word "nigger" was not used in any books printed by the association. He referred to the language in books by Van Vechten and Jean Toomer as illustrative of what many people thought proper in modern literature, the same in the same book, admitted primarily these books were not designed primarily for use in public schools. KILLED IN AUTO WRECK HALLS KILL, Va.-Walter Croxton was killed in an automobile accident in which his car was demolished. (Washington, D.C. Advertiser) 3 Book Publishers and Magazines also Join increasing Number NEW YORK. — The number of 150 editors and publishers who have agreed to use the capital "N" when they print the word "Negro" is being added to and the replies still coming in to the letters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People indicate that this practice will be soon be almost universal. Roscoe Conkling Bruce informs the Association that among the latest to adopt this style are the publishers, Ginn and Company; D. C. Heath and Company; and the United States Daily, published in Washington. Doubleday, Doran and Company also inform the N.A.A.A.P. of the intention to capitalize the word Negro when used as a cultural designation to the latest additions to the Among the latest additions to the N.A.A.C.P. list are the following: Vanity Fair in List Now use capital "N"; Fall River, Mass, Herald News; the American City; Vanity Fair (has done so for six years); Utica N.Y., Observer Dispatch. Will use capital "N"; Tracosa, Wash., Times; Publishers Weekly, New York; San Francisco News, Woman's Home Companion; Youngstown, Ohio; Vindicator. Georgia Editor Tells All The editor of the Easton, Ga., populistic, of 2,519, says: "The use of the capital letter has come to be regarded in some quarters as an admission that the inferiority of the negro to the white man has been ignored in imperial whites, and if in that fight the practice is a very bad one. . . . The inferiority of the negro to the white man is inherent." As to the use of the capital "N," this Georgia editor says, "such an act is misunderstood by the negroes and perhaps by the negroism between the races because it gives the negro the impression that he is as good as the white man." The Knoxville, Tenn., Journal writes: The spelling of the word Negro in the case that by all the simple rules of our language it should be spelled, seems the least of all the expressions of friendship that we are glad to make."

They asked him would he deliver the money to the man he then suggested they suggested that it did not know each other they would like to have some kind of security. Naturally the conversation drifted around to cash or bank accounts, whereupon Banks told them he had $500 in the Pennsylvania Avenue branch of the Calvert Bank. To assure them that he was honest enough to hold the money until its owner arrived, he worked the money and turned it over to the men who handed him the "$1400" roll. The men left, and after waiting some time for the owner to show up Banks was just about to call it a lucky day in which he would exchange $500 for $1400 and found one dollar bills neatly folded around a bunch of cigar coupons.

A committee of the Family Service section of the Welfare Council which has been struggling with this problem for more than a year reports there are some 150,000 Porto Ricans in New York City. They have congregated in upper Manhattan and in Brooklyn. The Porto Rican settlement in Manhattan runs from 95th Street to 135th Street, east of Eighth Avenue, and in Brooklyn is localized in the Navy Yard and Red Hook districts. The Navy Yard and Red Hook districts of the harbor-limited Porto Rican families crowded together in single flats. Many of them are sufferers from hookworm, tropical fever, and malnutrition; others are infected and beaten with antibiotics. Porto Rican crowded conditions in which they live, are constantly being reinfected with tuberculosis and venereal diseases. Size of the Problem Sixteen Porto Ricans came to the United States during 1929, it was indicated in a report of the State Board of Social Welfare. Porto Ricans who settle here seldom return to their Island voluntarily, as institutions there are much worse than here. Porto Ricans may be deported for specific causes, but of 500 cases of deportable Porto Ricans brought to the United States in 1929, only 175 were actually deported. Those who have resided in the United States a year can no longer be sent back. There is, of course, a large number of Porto Ricans from coming to this country, since they are American citizens. Islanders a Mixed Group The situation with the Porto Ricans with the Mixed group more complex by the fact that they are a mixed racial group. White Porto Ricans mix with the whites in the United States, but the colored Americans are American Negro. Other complications arise from the fact that few Porto Ricans speak English, and they seem to have considerable difficulty in being a New Porto Ricans learn skilled trades. Island Conditions Responsible Of the Island Conditions Responsible of the Charity Organization Society in 1928, 1120. 22 per cent were Port Ricaans. There great interest in port population in Port Rica, about 425,000 people island not much larger than Connecticut. Unfavorable economic conditions, un- employment, lack of education, all work together to influence the natives to emigrate. The Port Ricaans overpopulation population is the most part settled in New York City, the nearest port. Efforts made during the war to go elsewhere and set up farm lands were unsuccessful.

GERMANY STIRS COLOR ISSUE IN LOST PROVINCE Berlin Protests Against Use of Black Troops in Alsace 1914 RECALLED PARIS, (AFRO Bureau).—Protests against French black troops by German newspapers which created such a stir some years ago have not quite ceased. The Boerser Zeitung, a leading Berlin paper, has just protested against the use of black troops by the French in Alsace-Lorraine, territory restored to France at the close of the last war. The Boerser Zeitung alleges that the worst form of militarism exists in Alsace-Lorraine. "To that," it declared, "must be added, the black shame." "In Lorraine at the present time is a division of Africans—Algerians, Moroccanes, and Senegalese. Until recently they were armed and Metz. Now they are surrendered all over Lorraine. Morechingen, St. Avoid, Deuze, all have garrisons of colored soldiers. "The same events are going to happen again—the same that happened in the Rhineland with the same consequences. War Office Refuses "The people of Lorraine, following the lead of her enemies in French garrisoned towns, are demanding the withdrawal of these black troops. The French Minister of War has not needed French War office, since the French War office has even reproached the Alsatians, telling them that it was thanks to the colored troops that they were freed from Germany. "It must also be noted that the white soldiers from Alsace-Lorraine are being sent to France to provide cannon-fodder. In the last battles at Mount Alasgern Alsatiens were killed. "Return to France has not been a happy exchange for Alsace. What is real militarism and how happy it was to have been under the German empire. The lash and 'the black shame' did not exist in those days, General Gouraud and Millehauer." Troops Well Behaved La Depeche Colonale. leading daily of colonial interests, denies that the Alaskans self-believed as are other colored garrisons in France. It adds: "For years and years the Berlin Germans conducting its campaign against the so-called 'Black Shame'—against our soldiers from Africa and Asia stationed in the Pacific—have dis-annexed territory to excite the false pity of the German publicists. "As to Generals Gouraleau, who said that they have never given the lash to those who deserve it. . . . As to General Gouraleau, who entered Strasburg in triumph, November 22, 1918, he is still the idol Early Attacks Recalled It will be recalled that the attack on the character of black troops—led principally by American whites, one of whom was the wife of Congress—was a military defeat that instead of the Negro soldiers pursuing the white women, it was the other way about. General Henry T. Allen in his report, as quoted by J. Ellis Barker in Current History, July, 1921, said: Women Pursued Troops "I was told that the German police and the French authorities in the occupied district of Vienna told me that the German women from pestering and pursuing the colored troops. In many cases the colored soldiers, themselves, complained to the officers about the murder of the women to them by the German women, and frequently a military guard had to be called to keep women from entering the barracks by the German women. Both Married and Single Barker himself wrote as his own experiences, as follows: "Even ladies belonging to the upper and middle classes, both married and single, shamelessly running after the French soldiers, and that the colored men were attracted to them. I saw German girls, whose dress and fluent French indicated that they belonged to the upper class, make love to the colored men, only too frequently upon the indecent." When these German girls had children, they would accuse the Negroes of rape, but, in every case but one, but in every case, that single case the soldier was found not guilty by an impartial court-martial.

BLACK AND WHITE OINTMENTand SKIN SOAP SERBING, Fla. — New evidence unearthed here this week gave a new setting to the triple killing in which William R. Carver, white, slew his wife, a two-year-old child and his servant, Benjamin Whitehead, in Mrs. Carver's bedroom April 2. At first there were two versions of the tragedy. One was that the realtor had surprised Whitehead in the bedroom and killed both Mrs. Carver and the servant. The other, as told by Carver, was that his wife and baby had been slain by him and when Mrs. Carver canister him jewelry from the dresser of the bedroom. Carver hearing the commotion, rushed into the room and killed the servant. Amazing new evidence was found this week when a telephone lineman who rushed into the house when he heard a woman call the found Mr. Carver washing blood from his hands, and also an investigation which was made by the State's attorney revealed that there had been made out to the husband an insurance policy of $20,000. Following the measures Carver was held without bail. He is now charged with the murder of his wife, his two-year-old son and the servant, Benjamin Whitehead. **First Exonerated** Carver was at first exonerated when he testified that he had rushed into the room to find his wife and son sainthood, and admitted that he killed the servant. Even when questioned later, he protested that the officials were attempting to place his word against that of a Negro. The belief that Carver deliberately killed Whitehead and that that killed Whitehead to shield his crime committed to collect insurance money, was strengthened when officers discovered bloodstains on trousers and a shiv-worn wrist. It was also learned that Carver did not summon a doctor immediately after the killings. Policewomen Forced Out ATLANTIC CITY, N.

White, acting secretary of the N.A.A.C.P. appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week to protect confirmation of Judge John J. Parker, white, of North Carolina, nominated by President Hoover for the U.S. Supreme Court was confronted with a letter to Senator Overman (Dem, N.C.) Dr. J. E. Shepard, president of the North Carolina College for Negroes at Durham. Dr. Shepard's praise and endorsement is printed elsewhere on this page. The best that can be said for it is that the college president wrote it without believing that Judge Parker was correctly quoted in 1930 in the Greensboro Daily News where he was reported as saving- Mr. Walter F. White, acting secretary of the N.A.A.C. appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week to protest confirmation of Judge John J. Parker, white, of North Carolina, nominated by President Hoover for the U.S. Supreme Court, was confronted there with a ter written to Senator Owman for the N.C. by Dr. J. E. Shepard, president of the North Carolina Department for Negroes at Durham. Shepard's praise and endorsement is printed elsewhere on this page. The best that can be said for it is that the college president wrote it without believing that Judge Parker was correctly quoted in 1920 in the Greensboro Daily News where he was reported as saying— the participation of the Negro in politics in a source of evil and danger to both races, and is not desired by wise men in either race, or by the Republican Of course, if Judge Parker has changed his mind since making that swayed, a simple disavowal clears the atmosphere. But in the absence of any such retraction, Dr. Shepard's endorsement puts him in the position where he, (Dr. Shepard) says that he does not believe in the Negro exercising his right to vote. Knowing Dr. Shepard as we go, we are confident that he has no suspicion that his endorsement was without a knowledge of all the issues, as is common in the South, that endorsement was predicated upon the compromise policy of Dixie colored leaders who publicly but not privately disavow the program of equality and the right to vote in order to secure educational appropriations or other advantages. In this connection readers will recall the celebrated AFRO interview with White Supremacy Senator Cole Blease (D.C., S.C.) whose obscene behavior, disrespect of the White House, was expelled from the Congressional Record. Mr. Blease pointed out that his policy had the support of colored leaders in his state and he named President R. S. Wilkinson, president of South Carolina State College, as one of his friends and endorsers. President Wilkinson probably defects Blease as much as the rest of us, but Blease, the Senator, could keep South Carolina State College in poverty and, indeed, does. Dr. Wilkinson pats him on the back, and at Christmas time sends to him a cake specially baked in the college kitchen. Thus must Negroes who carry important charges in the South, often "stop to conquer." Of course, if Judge Parker has changed his mind since making that swowl, a simple disavowal clears the atmosphere. But in the absence of any such retraction, Dr. Sheard's endorsement puts him in the position where he, (Dr. Sheard) says that he does not believe in the Negro exercising his right to vote. Knowing Dr. Sheard as we do, we are confident that he has no such belief; that his endorsement was written without a knowledge of all the facts, or, as is common in the South, that his endorsement was presented upon the compromise policy of the predecessor leaders who publicly but invariably disavow the program of social quality and the right to vote in order to ensure educational appropriations or other advantages. In this connection readers will recall the celebrated AFRO interview with White Supremacy Senator Cole Blease (Dem., S.C.) whose obscene poem, "Niggers in the White House," was expunged from the Congressional Record. Mr. Blease pointed out that his policy had the support of colored leaders in his state and he named President R. S. Wilkinson, president of South Carolina State College, as one of his friends and endorsers. President Wilkinson probably detests Blease as much as the rest of us, but Blease, the Senator, could keep South Carolina State College in poverty and distress. He also detests Blease, the Senator. Dr. Wilkinson pats him on the back, and at Christmas time sends to him a cake specially baked in the college kitchen. Thus must Negroes who carry important charges in the South, often "stop to conquer." Not Too Late, Mr. Dver If recent; editors in the AFRO-AMERICAN giver hver the impression and Congressman L. C. Dyer, white. (Rep. K.) has been unfair or prejudiced in his appointments to West Point or Annapolis, then a mistaken impression has been made. Representative Dyer writes to the AFRO under date of April 3, 1930, as follows: If recent editorials in the AFRO-AMERICANIC have given, the impression that Congressman L. C. Dyer, white, (Rep. Mo.) has been unfair or prejudiced in his appointments to West Point or Annapolis, then a mistaken impression has been made. Representative Dyer writes to the AFRO under date of April 3, 1930, as follows: You are most unfortunate. I have nominated every colored boy for West Point and Annapolis that has ever applied. That is as far as I have authority to act. I mean of course in the 12th Congressional District My nominations of colored boys have been for both principals and alternates. Every time I have had a chance to represent to the same methods as in the last instance. The AFRO repeats, that Mr. Dyer has succeeded in getting none of his colored constituents into West Point or Annapolis. That he has not done so is a sin of omission rather than one of commission. Representing as he does a large colored constituency, it is not enough to open a opportunity to them, it was his duty to appoint a committee on nominations for these schools and through them or through other measures pushed nominee in. The fact that the Navy has not one single Negro officer and that the Army has four regular regiments with only one commissioned officer would indicate the need of and the duty of every Congressman, especially those with large Negro constituencies. Mr. Dyer has been seventeen years in Congress. His Federal anti-lynching bill passed the House but not the Senate. If he hasn't pushed his nominations for military schools, it is probably due to the fact that he hasn't regarded them as important. We assure him that they are important, and even now it is not too late for him to act.

III), busy at home this week getting himself nominated for Congress, sent out proposals for a People's Movement that he has in it the germ of accomplishment.

No Health Week in New York These columns a few weeks ago noted the effort of the National Medical Association to climb aboard the National Negro Health Week band-wagon. Last week, New York did not participate in the Negro Health Week activities. Instead, Health Commissioner Shirley Wynne, white, upon advice of Mr. Ferdinand Q. Morton and other leaders, sent Dr. R. R. Moton, the head of the movement, the following letter (in paren- t) to regress very much that it is impossible offici- lation so-called Negro Health Week for the reason that it is contrary to the fixed and, I think wise policy of the administration of our health department, whatever. The Health Department gives to the subject of the health of the Negro of our city each week of all other races. This is as it should be. Of course the Department would not hesitate to take into consid- ration special conditions prevailing in any great area. At the same time, New York responds a campaign to eliminate poverty, disease and crime among 150,000 Porto Rico who constitute a par- tition of the population at present. All cities were as far advanced as New York there would be no need of a Negro Health Week or any other special and separate arrangements for the Negro population. The necessity for Negro Health Week arose because of segregation, especially in the South which compiled its colored folk in the interior, unlabeled unsanitary, segregated areas (generalized to the side of the railroad)). The report预估 At the same time, New York announces a campaign to eliminate poverty, disease and crime among 150,000 Porto Ricans who constitute a particularly pressing problem at present.

No longer. At the same time, New York announces a campaign to eliminate poverty, disease and crime among 150,000 Porto Ricans who constitute a particularly pressing problem at present. If all cities were as far advanced as New York, there would be no need of a Negro Health Week or any other special and separate arrangements for the Negro population. The necessity for Negro Health Week arose because of segregation, especially in the South which compelled its colored folk to live in unpaved, unlighted, unsanitary, segregated areas (generally "on the other side of the railroad"), cast off and neglected. This is not true in New York where Harlem is a child and not a step-child. As other cities incorporate the improvement of Negro citizens in their regular department program, the need for a National Negro Health Week will proportionately decrease. Why Red? The decision of the Colored Merchants Association to adopt red as the color for the cooperative grocery chain that is rapidly spreading throughout the large cities, provokes the question, why red, is already the distinctive color for Standard Oil, Woolworth and other five and ten cent chains, and also the A & P stores the country over? Mr. Harry Pace, who won a prize for his color suggestion, answered it when he said: The decision of the Colored Merchants Association to adopt red as the color for the cooperative grocery chain is rapidly spreading throughout the large cities, provokes the question, why is it already the distinctive color for Standard Oil, Woolworth and other five large ten cent chains, and also the A & P stores the country over?

Mr. Harry Pace, who won a prize for his color suggestion, answered it when he said: "But I take it that the idea is merely to try to make everybody else. A scheme might be different and still not be sufficiently distinctive to sell the idea that was behind the When the buying public thinks in terms of ten, fifteen, and twenty-five cent merchandise the first pulse is the most important. There is, therefore, a definite value to all of these stores in this color scheme, and the cumulative effect of all of these stores on the stores of these several chains is so powerful that it enables these chains to practically eliminate advertising from their budget, and enables them to the customer this saving in saving expenses. If Mr. Pace is a sign of loss, is however, the with its orange Company with Old Dutch Mark store fronts store fronts of color which is not there. There is nothit with the idea that we build their quality good storefront store front whether as a trade mark this reason we be just as important Personally, we be just as interest We are interest and cooperate supon which will real of service in the press in the big ce If Mr. Pace is to be believed, a red store front is a sign of low priced merchandise. The truth is, however, the Sanitary Grocery Company chain with its orange front stores, the American Stores Company with its yellow and white, and the Old Dutch Market Company with blue and white store fronts were quite as successful in their choice of color as A & P.

If Mr. Pace is to be believed, a red store front is a sign of low priced merchandise.

Educating a City for Community Work Educating a City for Community Work If the Block Organization Method Gets Out Votes for Politicians It Can Also be Used to Stimulate Activity in Community Welfare. To the Editor: There are many concerns, with respect to community welfare, that should interest us. Doubts there are those that are not all thoughtful members of our group over the slowness of response in the last community effort, and not only with respect to that particular air, but likewise with respect to the community. There are many concerns, with respect to community welfare, that should interest us. Doubtless there are those who will recall the number of our people, which came to be thought of in numbers of our great community's slowness of response in the last two years of the effort, and not only with respect to that particular affair, but likewise with respect to many other affairs. I have been in the great army of plain people. I will do it if given a fair chance. They need practical education in civic affairs. How can this be best attained? How can we increase the number of those who will readily give to worthy people? I venture to suggest a very simple plan of educational value and democratic procedure which I verily believe will accomplish the only one end. What am about this is the first thing that I have to do with the entire city. But, it might prove to mind for the entire group of wards at first. I suggest that one capable of profoundly publishing and writing of the people in each of the 11th, 14th and 17th wards, make a study of such ward and select from the territory of each precinct in that ward, one person, man or women, all them together. And organize them to committee together. If the number of all the members who will be the executive of that ward. Then each of the persons from the several precincts can go back to their territory and see, twelve persons from the principal, including the neighbor as the precinct council. The smallness of numbers will render it easy for their meeting to gather in a private dwelling. Each little precinct council will be a sovereign to itself. The number of the people is thoroughly every phase of the office, brought before them. The executives will always make before the several groups well-thought-out plans or proposals, for co-operation, but so can each of the groups go to the public. The other and prose, and have such proposals communicated to all the other groups for consideration, concurrence, or non-concurrence. Each group can have its own little treasury, and dispose of the same, in co-operation, as it may be.

The leading few "big" leaders, we create an army of leaders, covering each locality, with freedom to pursue their own vision in bringing home to the people of that particular neighborhood their own people. If the public will be a little more than the leaders can only effectively function as they are representatives of the thought of the people in the several precincts of their respective wards. Something must be done by which the masses of the people may be percolated with a sense of their responsibility. If a better plan can be suggested, for one, I will most heavily join in with the.

But, it might prove wise to organize a smaller group of people who have the same phone capable, and profoundly public-spirited man or woman, in each of the 11th, 14th, and 17th wards, make a study of them and select from them the precinct in their town, person, man or woman; call them together, and organize a ward committee. This committee can select its own chairman who will be the executive of the precinct. Then, they can go back to their territory and select ten or twelve others from their immediate neighborhood, as the precinct council. The smallness of numbers is important for our meeting forces in a private dwelling. Each little precinct council will be a sovereign in itself. They can discuss thoroughly every phase of matters brought before them. The executives of wards may place before them the proposals, for co-operation; but so can each individual precinct group originate and propose, and have such proposals communicated to all the other groups for consideration, concurrence, or non-concurrence.

What Does a Protective Tariff Mean? Trace the Editor: Mr. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, who is running for Congressman from the first district of Illinois, written in his platform: "A protective tariff written in the form of a tariff, which is defended and in defenders of American industry." I wonder whether Mr. Simmons knows what protective tariff means. Protective tariff means a greater expulsion of foreign goods, which is one of the underlying reasons for financial picnics and depressions. Negroes should be deeply interested in this subject, affects to us a great extent. When politicians set forth their platforms the should be considered on the basis of their bene tis society.

Chicago, III. J. AVERY SMITH. Mr. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, who is running for Congressman from the first district of Illinois, stated in his platform: "A protector tariff means that we will work with the fathers and defenders of American industry." I wonder whether Mr. Simmons knows what a protective tariff means. Protective tariff means a greater reduction in the amount of a greater inflow of gold, which is one of the underlying reasons for financial picnics and depressions. It should be deeply interested in this subject. It affects us, to a great extent. When politicians set forth their platforms they should be considered on the basis of their benefts to society in general. This country. There are enough morons, ignorance and hypocrites in Congress now. They have no idea of the economic needs of the country. Now, What Shall We Do with Them? As a result of recent successful "Y" membership drives, 2031 persons—1100 young women and 931 men—are now on the membership lists of the two colored branches in Baltimore. What will be done with these young members? One of the problems which confront institutions of this kind is that most student activities will be fostered to carry out the practical work of catering to the welfare of the members which belong to it. What will our Y.W.C.A. and our Y.M.C.A. do to help adjust the lives of the modern young man and woman? Several years ago, a group of leaders in the M. E. Church, leading a centenary program of community house development, asked this writer to confer with them with reference to activities in the places they hoped to conduct. When we listed supervised dancing and card playing in addition to the purely ethical, aesthetic, musical and athletic activities, some of the good men summarily ended the reference. And why should not community houses, the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A. foster supervised dancing and card playing? The term "community house" means a place where young people as well as old people may congregate and do the things which in their own homes they judge all right to do as a family. There are few ministers in Baltimore or any other city who object to their members playing cards and dancing, and yet there are many who strenuously object to a community house or a "Y" allowing it. There are few others or mathematics teachers who allow their young people to go to parties where they know that card games are being played and dancing enjoyed, yet some of these same people will object to these diversions being allowed in a community house. CENTENARY COMMUNITY H O U S E PROGRAM AND THE SOCIAL ACTIVITIES IN COMMUNITY HOUSES FAIL TO HELP YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN OF TODAY. Let us hope that the good women of Baltimore who control the activities of the Y.W.C.A. will not allow the short-sighted policy followed by most institutions of this kind to block the proper and helpful social program of the local branch. The Y.W.C.A. cannot sweep back an ocean which all the churches have failed to dam. For if the ministers and church officials of Baltimore were to apply their nodancing rule to members of their churches, and excommunicate members young, then the did would not be enough members left to pass the baskets over the empty benches. If they want to try it, this writer can give them plenty of information upon which to proceed. Since, then, we have dancing and card playing established firmly in our social process, we will help control it, by placing these activities in the program of the "Y's" and community houses. Under these auspices they will be guided to come out热闹 environments. The Police and the Maryland Free State Some idea of what some Baltimore police understand about the Maryland Free State came out in the criminal court on Friday when Officer Ferd Kammer of the Southwestern district told Judge Robert Stanton that upon seeing through the window of a house someone holding what he believed to be policy slips he forcibly entered and murdered him. When asked by the judge whether he thought he had a right to enter this house without a warrant he replied, "Yes." There is no officer on the police force who has not been thoroughly informed that he has no right to enter this house without a warrant, for whiskey. But there seems to be a general understanding that an officer may will imply, enter the home with a degree, even against someone at any time he feels like it, purporting to search for anything. Most of the officers whose lives have been taken by desperate Negro men, owe their misfortune to the reaction to the general feeling that police can and will beat or abuse Negroes without having to account for it. How much majority of the police officers get the unwarranted belief that they can invade Negro homes without warrants to make searches is an interesting question. Did General Gaither tell them that? Do the captains in the police districts tell them? If either of these officials is responsible for the police, does Governor Ritchie, who is responsible for Baltimore police administration, know it? Co-operating with the Safety Council The recent annual election of the Baltimore Safety Council minds us that so far, the body has not seen fit to include any colored members of its board or within its membership. It would be practically impossible to make this city as safe as it should be without the co-operation of the 120,000 people who make up its Negro citizenry. There is a certain amount of civic love and pride which must be engendered even in white citizens to make them conscious always, the care they must take, the safety they must provide the lives of others as they go about their daily work. Certainly it could not be expected that Negroes could develop the love for city and community that they should, if barred from the very body which fosters this thing. Human nature does not work that way and if the officials of the Baltimore Safety Council really want to develop the spirit which would make for safer cities, an organization efficiency, and not exclude Negroes from active participation in their effort. Some day, perhaps, white leaders who are given the task to organize community movements will understand that Negroes cannot be expected to participate in the fight for patriotism and the of community when they are so frequently pushed aside in the administration of affairs. Love a Disease Which Poisons Nervous System French Scientist says That People in Love are Unfit to Work. Love Marriages Often Unhappy. Men Fall in Love Through Eye and Nose; Women Love Homely Men Best. (From London Tid-Bits) "Romantic love is a disease that never afflicted the human race until modern times," declares Dr. Paul Voienelm, a prominent French physician, in his recent book, "La Maladie de l'Amour." The Old Testament account of Adam and Eve shows the account of matrimony. The Almighty did not arrest Adam to meet him and marry the one he fell in love with. Jehovah handed Eve to Adam, as would any father of Biblical times. There was unusual feature, in that the Almighty had made Eve out of Adam's rib instead of obtaining her by negotiation from another family. Dr. Voienelm shows that love has all the characteristics of a plague. People are susceptible in that but there are also bad years. The worst was in 1830, when thousands of people of all ages pined away and died for love. Measles, has a high incidence of incubation, but if this period is not fixed, it is longer in the more severe cases than in the lighter ones. The progress of the malady appears to produce a failure of mental perception. The women loved by men have often been very ugly. When a person is really sick from love the cannot live away from the loved one, he falls into a pitiless state, and becomes worse than ever when he returns home. This craving bears insubstance to that of morphine poisoning. In unhappy love there is a constant wastage of the senses. The nerve force is lowered just as the voltage of an electric lamp is used to eye become blind, loses its vision, and its suppleness, and the whole system slims. Ideas of suicide appear. Young girls dry up like cut flowers. Real madness sometimes occurs. Ophthalmia a true lovechine, sings before drowning herself. Women in Love Rue; Men Look Foolish The symptoms in the two sexes are the same, as the eminent French writer, Elenene Rey, has said: "A man in love always looks foolish, a woman never, yet, curiously enough in attacks of delirium, women usually have about it. A man in love defines love as a mental disease that takes away the freedom of the will and makes us the plaything of illusions. Nature, to assure the continuation of the species, must make the body that make things look more beautiful than they are, but when this temporary impulse becomes permanent and takes complete control of the body, it becomes a mental disease. It gives rise to a life of dreams in which the beloved object and everyone is different from what they really are. Lovers do not see the world as it really is, and hence they are united. Their whole system is poisoned. In man the malady usually first enters his system through the eye, and feminine beauty is greatly overestimated. Modesty and coquetry are the long run, artfully hiding the female figure in mysterious drapes attracts the male eye more successfully than revealing dresses. The masculine brain can also be captured when a fact on which the perfume industry is based. For some reason man fears or resents this nasal attack and is always criticizing women for using it on him. Women are less susceptible through the eye, for men of the Don Juan type are frequently ugly. The Duke de Richelieu, who lived in the eighteenth century, is rated as the greatest lover in French history and is small and unattractive physically. Until modern times smiled play an important part. Medical works on perfume, which had an effect like that of calorform on his victims. Dr. Brouardel mentions a man of the Don Juan type who used to rub his handkerchief on his skin and then touch with it the forehead of a girl he desired to impress. Certain Voices Charm the Hello Girls That method of fascination went out of style with the introduction of the bath-tub, and smells, like comforter dust. The stores store and used mostly by women. Certain tenor and baritone voices are overpowering to women. Many men go through life convinced that telephone operation is that their Don Juan voices so saddle the poor girl's brains that they cannot get a number right. Doctors Give Pills for "Midnight Jealousy" The doctor offers no pill or serum to cure the love-sick or give immunity. But it is possible, because Dr. Maurice de Fleury already prescribes a compound caffein pill for "midnight jealousy," the sympathy of love-malady. Fleury discovered that patients afflicted with chronic jealousy usually felt it coming on between 11 p.m. and 1 p.m. when they got to an empty stomach. After some experimenting with midnight meals, he finally had success with a pill of together with a medicine to offset the drug's tendency to prevent sleep. Love Marriages Often Unhappy After all, falling in love seems to be largely due to the victim's own negligence. Dr. Volvenel states that so-called love at first sight" is exaggerated, and people must be exposed many times before they succumb. They share marriage between two persons passionately in love with each other is sure to be unhappy. They go to the altar with fictitious ideas of each other, and when the couple gets married, they feel cheated and bitter. After marriage comes painful realization.

The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly The Proofreader Talks Herewith are given the three rules which govern the formation of the possessive case of nouns. The chief stumbling block is the position of the apostrophe followed to the final PLURALS—sometimes it precedes the s." sometimes it follows, depending on whether or not the plural (merely as a plural) ends in "s." Were not it for the fact that some nouns form the plural irregularly (without the case "s") the whole matter would be. Three Rules (or Formation of the Passive Case in English): 1. SINGULAR NUMBER — Nouns both Common and Proper in the singular number, add the apostrophe and "s" (no matter what the ending). 2. PLURAL NUMBER—(a) Nouns whether Common on Proper; which the plural number, end in "s" add apostrophe only; (b) if the plural does NOT end in "s" add apostrophe and "s." 1. There should be no difference in the treatment Common and Proper nouns. This is the chief point to remember. 2. The simplest rules for formation of the plural should be learned and rigidly followed. It is the tempt to soften unpleasant endings of plurals that give most of the 3. The apostrophe must be used in forming the possessive case of nouns, but should not be used for forming mere plurals. Rules for Plurals— To form the plural of nouns—Common and Proper—add "s" or "se", as the case may require, except for which form their plurals irregularly (goose, geese) or are alike in both numbers (sheep, sheep). Furthermore, the rule does not always apply to words from foreign languages (stratum). NOTE—We should not let the multiplication of the "s" sounds disturb us. They belong in the language, and only baked writers attempt to leave them out. Examples (These are correct)— SINGULAR— The boy's hat. The omnibus's wheels. The goose's wing. The sheep's tail. Mrs. Jones's horse. Mrs. Williams's son. PLURAL— The boys' hats. The omnibuses' wheels. The geese's wings. The sheep's tails. The goose's horse. The Williamsse's son. NOTE—"Sheep" has the same form for singular and plural. Harlem Stuff One of the things you learn if you knock about Harlem is that nothing will guarantee you speaker annihilation than addressing one of the Harlem leaders a colored person may use the term, and it's merely funny. But it is highly objectionable coming to Harlem because we learn that the use of such terms as invade this column frequently, i.e. "sepian," "rotogravure," presented as "laro" or "maudal," regarded as "cute," and not of all condemned.

Bitterness can have no place in me, Nor grief stay— When the winds of God rush through them keep Them away. God keep a clean wind blowing through my heart The Negro Battles for Bread on Two Fronts The Cooperative Stores Movement and the Pushing of Clerks and Assistants into Prescent Stores in Negro Communities, Indicate the Battle Line. By KELLY MILLER A new chapter is now being written in the history of the Negro's battle for bread. He is beginning to learn that he cannot rely wholly upon wages as a hired hand. He is the last put on and the first thrown off the pay roll. A large party of our city population secures a livelihood by conducting some form of business. The Negro's attempt along this line has been feeble and ineffective. The Negro's business man or woman almost never deals in staple commodities, such as clothes, groceries, furniture or any other lines of standard merchandise. His efforts have hitherto been limited mainly to personal reeds and sumptuary tastes. The barber shop, the restaurant, the beauty parlor, the eating house, and the pool room cover the gamut of his business ventures. Such forms of business are severely limited in scope and income. The business statesmen are now planning to launch upon broader commercial ventures. The Negro Business League through its secretary, Mr. Holsey, is planning a chain of grocery stores and other lines of commercial enterprise. Business Points in Two Directions We live in an age of the syndicate and the merger. The man with little capital, and no experience is merely wasting his substance by launchup upon his merger, which consolidation gives the leading role. It is a condition, not a color, that confronts and confounds us. How on earth can a dealer of small capital and smaller experience compete with the chain drug store or the mammoth dry goods house of the drugstore? In the minds of this predicament, Negro business men are thinking in two directions: first how far can they pool their resources to meet the larger pool manipulated by the white capitalist? and second, how far can they force colored clerks and assasins to those great enterprises which live largely upon the Negro's patronage? This seems to be at present the most hopeful angle. By this means, the Negro would not only secure employment of the race but better still these Negro clerks would be acquiring business experience and experieness in their further effort towards self-propriorship. The Banking Field Being Expanded John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is the pioneer in this field. He believes in the union of sound philanthropy and business. This son of many millions owned a departmental Apartment project in New York City, and employed a number of colored men in the several departments of the banking business, with the aim of it over to exclusive racial management and control as soon as they have acquired the requisite experience and competency. Hitherto, the Negro has essayed the banking business without capital or otherwise. In more cases than otherwise he has come to grief. The few that have survived deserve praise without stint. But at best there is almost the unimaginable difficulty of the capital outfit. In several of our cities the experiment is now under way of inducing proprietors of dry goods and stores to employ colored clerks and assistants in the conduct of their establishments. The response to this reasonable request (or is it demand?) is quite encouraging. We hear of many businesses in New York, Wash. Baltimore and other centers. Will "Noble Experiment" Become Noble Success? The most essential thing so far is that the apprentices are used that their apprentices make good. Great is the transition from the intermittent domestic service or the go-as-you-pleas method of the more or less lavish man who has been engaged to the rigid, almost military exactions of commercial business. The work is exacting, the hours are long and the pay comparatively low. Undergo the discipline in order to acquire the efficiency. If they succeed the future is big, with hope, they will great success. If they succeed, no longer. Will there be a new noble experiment, we hope, in a few years will be pronounced a noble success. Her Mouth an Ad for Dentists Her Mouth an Ad for Dentists Recently, I met a very young woman of nineteen—perhaps less—who was a walking dental advertisement of a style in dentistry considered corrosive. Here was a young girl embarrassed every time she opened her mouth, by exhibiting the equivalent of a gold mine, when a modern dentist could beautify her teeth beautiful but inconspicuous. Learning that she was a member of an old, well-known family and becoming curious, I decided to investigate. I found that she was being served by the same dentist who had cared for her granddaughters' teeth. Failed to Grow with the Profession. Our highly improved methods meant little or nothing to him.

That two police officers invaded the home of Mrs. J. W. James and her white husband and me, both age 45, in the house, the most protested against language they used to her. developed in Criminal Court, when Judge Robert Stanton rebuked the officers, and dismissed the charges of assault they had placed against the Jameses, Friday. Mrs. James, who was formerly Miss Pearl Brown of this city, married James in Cleveland and after living there for some time, they moved here and established the White Front Sea Food House at 1501 W. Franklin Street. They lived in the residence 3203 N. Street. Invaded Home Their troubles with the police started, according to evidence brought out at the hearing, when on March 25, Officer Charles Hudak, white, accompanied Officer Keith Konitzer, an Assistant Konitzer, in plain clothes, broke into the Stricken Street home, alleging that they saw Mrs. James handling lottery slips. On entering the house, they asked what kind of business he conducted. When James told them that he saw no reason why he had been arrested against their treatment of Mrs. James, the officers seized him, and while two of them held his arms pinioned, Officer Ward, it was testified, struck him on the nose. James's nose was split by a brass ring on the officer's finger. James was taken to Provident Hospital, where he must take hospital in his nose. Arrested Pair Following this, Mr. and Mrs. James were taken to the Southwestern police station, where cops preferred charges of assaulting an officer and lottery gambling. In addition, they are said to have staged a raid, forced letters, a confrontation, an adding machine, and $241.27 in cash. Of this amount, James claimed $200 was hidden under a mattress in his bedroom. At the hearing, J. Howard Payne, attorney for James, forced the office place without a warrant, against the wishes of James, and he argued that his clients should be dismissed on the ground that their constitutional rights had been violated by the officers. He magistrate, however, held the pair for the action of the criminal court. Lawyer Acts Basing his plea on the grounds of unlawful invasion of the home, Mr. Payne filed a petition with Judge Stanton for the protection of the fourth and fifth amendments of the U.S. Constitution and of Articles 22 and 26 of the Bill of Rights. In open court, he also accused Assistant State's Attorney James Stanton of the count of an alleged loss of papers. Judge Stanton refused to grant the petition compelling police to return the property of the Jameses upon which they based their gambling charge. Mr. Payne noted an exception and the trial proceeded. All of the officers admitted that James was not a warrant, "not having time to obtain it." It was also admitted that James was brutally struck in the face by Ward at a time when two officers were present. Both of James's hands were held by these police while he was struck. Officers Rebuked Under cross examination, Officer Kammer attempted to justify his forceful entrance of the Jameses' home by declaring that while walk-in doors had seen someone in the house with lottery tickets in his or her hand. "Do you mean to tell me, Officer Kammer, that if you look through a window and see someone with a lottery ticket in his or her hand, you a right to enter?" asked the judge. "Yes, sir." replied Kammer. "Well," replied the judge, "if you don't know any better than that, you have got a whole lot of instructions coming to you as to your duties." At this point, Mr Payne presented his motion for dismissal and Judge Stanton declared: "Yes, motion granted and without hearing defendants, I find them not guilty as to lottery and not guilty as to assault on a police officer." Both James and his wife declare that they believe the whole action of the police was prompted by prejudice growing out of their knowledge that a white man had married a Negro woman. They pointed to Mr. Hammer's question addressed to Officer Hudak: "Is James married to this colored woman?" as an indication that there was an attempt made to try them for a conviction other than for gambling for assault. Upon Mr. Payne's objection, Mr Hammer withdrew the question.

In some recognized hospital, before being permitted to take the State Board (and there are only two hospitals admitting the Interne—Mercy and Douglass), and the lack of opportunity for training nurses in institutions supported by the State Board of this city. She also scored Judge Brown of the Municipal Court, 22nd and Arch Streets, for his published statement that there should be a separate institution provided by colored for colored juvenile deliquients, when there are such institutions manned by the State staff because they are the chief core of the state-colored rarely ever, and which Negro tax-payers help carry.

Negro Aid Week Can you make one family happy? Can you help others to supply more beds, or endow one institution, with a view toward providing places for care and training of unfortunate girl-mothers? Can you answer the question to be answered only by yourself? The opportunity to so do, however, will be limited by the need for Negro Aid Week, which interested ones are working to put across. Not the least of the problems involved in the Aid, Mrs. Kate Brugge, of the P.A.P.C.W. Mrs. M. E. Vickers, of the P.A.P.C.W., will be working with, or Orgin C. Wilson, as city editor. To Oust Pennock Last week, I was called by 'phone to cover a meeting in the thirty-fourth ward. The voters of that district assembled there to form a protest committee to oust Magistrate Eavn T. Pennock, as leader of that district. The ward, in itself, is an odd and interesting mixture of shrewd Jews, fighting Irish, indignant Negroes and Italians, who for the past sixteen years have been supporting Pennock. But the Negroes are chiefly concerned because whatever jobs have been offered, have not been to Negroes, through any influence exerted by their re-instated leader. One woman, member of the William Penn Civic and Educational Club, stated that the Negro women of her division absolutely would not support the organization in the forthcoming election, if Evan Pennock were retained as leader of the thirty-fourth ward. He has flagrantly disregarded them and their loyal support of him. Charles P. Samuel, political figure in his ward, was named for the protest committee, but he declined in favor of another worker, Ernest Mahan. Others on the committee were: Joseph Salus, brother of Senator Samuel Salus; Byron Flynn, and Harry Shultz, attorneys.

To Marry Prisoner for Child's Sake North Carolina, Woman, Sentenced for 25 Years, Will Wed Father of Baby She Bore RALEIGH-For the sake of their child, born in prison, Miss Sarah Bea and George McMillan expect to be married here, prison authorities declare. Miss Bea who was sentenced to 25 years for stabbing a white store clerk gave birth to the child after her sentence. Some states when a person is imprisoned, his or her child rights are suspended and the person is not permitted to make contracts. But North Carolina has no such law and the officials are wondering. The child was born several months ago after the mother had begun her sentence. To make the child legitimate McMillan can either make oath before a court clerk that is the father.

Police Lodgers Still Reflect Unemployment, Officers Say 83 LAST WEEK There Were also 43 Arrested as Vagrants The number of men seeking shelter at police stations still reflects the unusual amount of unemployment here despite efforts to relieve the condition, officials say. Last week the men who sought lodging in every case told police that they were unable to secure employment. Many are still straggling in from the South and industrial centers of the East. Officers here estimate that more than 500 men migrate here each week. In addition to the 83 persons who were given shelter, police arrested 43 persons whom they found without homes. Persons without homes who do not apply to the police department for shelter or who are found sleeping in out of way places are subject to arrest on charges of vagrancy. The men who were arrested as lodgers are said to have mierated from twenty cities along the Atlantic Coast, and a few from the West.

LOUIS TEACHER ASKS DIVORCE Wife Says Professor Giles Cut off Phone, Lights and Coal HOME FOR SALE Sign Posted, She Says Without Notice ST. LOUISE, Mo., (ANP.)—Dame gossip is on a rampage in the elite social circles here, following actions for divorce by Mrs. Hazel R. Giles, society matron, against her husband, Walter A. Giles, director of athletics at Vashon High School. Aside from being extremely jealous, Prof. Giles pursued his wife with an inguining of her whereabout when she was away from home and called her such names as "common prostitute and street walker," Mrs. Giles alleges. As director of athletics in the public schools, Giles receives a salary of $320 a month, and according to the petition, he has an income of per month from his pension holdings, which he neglected and refused to properly provide for his family, giving his wife nothing with which to buy clothing for herself and children, the petition further states. Holy Owl's Union In order to own and facilitate her, Mrs. Giles points out in her petition that the professor allowed the telephone service to be discontinued. lights to be cut off, and even fuel to run out during real wintry conditions, when heat was necessary, she said her husband had a notice published in a local newspaper for forbidding all merchants from giving her credit for such necessities without his express permission. That he even posted a sale sign upon their home without her consent. Mrs. Giles related. Separated Last December 23. 1913.

WHITNEY OUIT PULPIT FOR CAREER ON STAGE Says Trustees Ran off with Pay for His First and Only Sermon HAS COLORFUL LIFE Recalls Near-Lynching in Georgia Town NEW YORK-Salem Tutt Whitney studied for the ministry, preached one sermon, and then decided that he would make better as a funny man. That's how the man who now has a role in "Green Pastures" on Broadway broke into the show business, and has been there ever since. Born in Logansport, Indiana, the youngest, whose father was a minister, finished high school at Shortridge, end then attended DePauw University. His first and last sermon was preached at Fisville, Pa., and particularly enough. Mr. Whitney, at that time was traveling with a concert company. He never received any money from that sermon, relating that the trustees and decendants made off with his jay. With his concert company he toured the country for seven seasons, and in 1906 got his first glimpse of New York. He was a member of with S. H. Dudley's "Smarter Set. company." While he has property in Philadelphia. Mr. Whitney prefers to remain in New York, having spent the past four years here. He has written and directed 25 taboued musical comedies, between musical comedies, says he has never been stranded and had only two shows to fold on him. He has written at least 150 vaudeville sketches and declarations he will never forget. He has moved to mob his cast, after an unknown Negro native was said to have assaulted a white girl. Asked about 'Green aPstures,' he said, "I should think the play will last a year. Of course, critics say three, or even five years."

This procedure enables the owner not only to tell which of his tubes is giving the longest life, but is used when some idea of the respectability of competing tubes is desired. PARIS GOSSIP Business continues to be dull for the colored musicians in Paris. Only the old-timmers are working. Most of the others are working on the coming of the tourists, which are expected in greater numbers than ever this year. There will also be many more new night clubs to receive them. Paul Maurice, New Yorker, is in Paris taking studies in French language and literature. --- The team of Bernice and Kent are playing at the Bal Tarbirin, Paris, where they will play against the Palermo to entertain. Both have just come from Spain, and will be returning shortly to Berlin. Last year they had a contract with the UWL one of the leading film companies of Germany. Lou Abeyb and his band of five musicians were ordered deported from London. He was sent to the mission to work before arriving. With them was Miss Ruth Bayton, who, in addition to being in the very good graces of a certain European king, whose government paid 700,000 marks ($157,500 for the suppression of the war), he was expected back in France, where they have been playing for years. Rudolph Dunbar, clarinetist, who has been studying classic music in Paris while working, made his debut at the eleventh concert given at the Palermo de Musique de Anne de Danse on March 28. The team is dull in the Montmartre night club with the tourist season months away. ```markdown ``` Zellis has closed, as usual, and will not re-open until April 12, and both Chez Florence and the Ambassadors have shut down for a few days. The Palermo, which used these colored musicians, now has all white. * * * * Nearly all the night clubbers at this time of year are allowed and they are not enough to go around. Many colored musicians may be seen in the old harbors around Rue Pigalle and the Rue Fontaine waiting for the return of the tourists, others have gone to the South of France. ```markdown ``` Most of the night club business has been created by Prince, in his new place on Rue Rue Principale. Prince is now king of the night clubs. Frank Witherls and his band are rehearsing for a big Franco-American fete which will be shortly at the Theatre Champs-Élysées. 20.

It'sNobody'sBusiness EVERTHING seems to be a "racket" these days, and that doesn't necessarily refer to tennis, either. "What's your racket?" seems to be the question usually asked after two recently introduced persons have begun to warm up in their conversation. The racketeering business has grown to such proportions that a legitimate business man may sometimes wonder just what racket he's in, and if not, why not? Over in the nation's capital, where senators are said to shave with blow torches and representatives pick their teeth with horse pistols, there seems to be a mania for uncovering rackets, particularly the assertion that the city has become a mecca for "white collar" racketeers. The Washington Daily News relates the following, which you can believe or not. A colored man, bearing a bag of the type ordinarily carried by a Pullman porter, appeared in a downtown Washington bank. He had a check made out by the Pullman Co. for $85. Concords and Discords By W. LEE-VELLYN WILSON Baltimore Must be Educated to Symphony Appreciation. The recently concluded series of concerts by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra have given an opportunity to many interested in the musical development of our specific group to bear first class music played by an As he asked the cashier to turn it into currency he financed in the bank, he handed it into the cap. The cashier smiled and handed out four twenties, a ten and a five. The pseudo porter visited other banks and stores. Three times he came back, but to different places. When a check up was finally made he had secured $170,000 in Washington and other cities and had sent checks. He was never apprehended. And then there was the case of the barber—but listen to this: Barber Duped A man dropped into a hotel barber shop for a shave. He was an agreeable cuss and listened attentively to the barber's patterns for the pennant. He heneded to drop the information that he had a good tip on the market. "There's a stock now selling for $12.50 a share that will go to $37.50 in a few weeks because we are going to take them in on a merger." The colored barber scratched his head. For 26 years he had faithfully saved his money until he had $27,000 in the bank. "Boss," he asked, "do you think I could double my money real quick?" "Sure," he was answered. Convincing Talker The man talked so convincingly that the barber withdrew his life savings and entrusted it to a man he had never seen before. In return he was given a number of shares of stock, which he was assured were selling for $12.50. On that day the shares were quoted on the curb exchange at These are only two of the many racket stories given in the News art! So You Might Know— Sitting down in musky old court rooms and listening to morbid murder testimony, evidently wears on one, and makes a person long to get out into the great outdoors. Sunshine. It's the breath of spring—that it's, and even reporters' thoughts turn to more human things. At any rate, "Red" Baker, the hardened court reporter, who cries a keek-keek jotted down the following thoughts on a leisurely tour of the city. He says: "On a walking tour through the twisting and confusing Baltimore Streets. A complicated city. "A tortuous waterfront. A busy street facing the arm of the Patapso River. Tables standing in front of many stores. Jingling coins, revolving wheels and decks of cards denote some kind of gaming, looking people and bad-looking tables turns at the flip of the cards or the turn of the wheel. "A gay, happy-go-lucky, gaming city. "Still in Baltimore. Squads of snoopy policemen here and there. They move secretly through alleyways and backyard entrances and two or three men vault Numbers books. The men are hauled away to jail. "A big, law-abiding, anti-gaming city. "Bibles which formerly decorated the center tables are now replaced by glasses and trays. Where water was formerly served, it is now gin and soda. "A happy; carefree city. "A bell hop. A thirsty man. Boy gets half pint. Federal officer. Bell claims ignorance. To excuse Three months' cut. "A powerful, severe, anti-boose city. "Big wharves on Pratt Street. Colored men unload all kinds of cargo. Colored and white men trudge along in the same line with their burdens. "A sociable, brotherly city. "Still in Baltimore. The same men go to the lunch counter. Colored men are turned away. White men sit down and eat. "A determined, segregating city. "Bunch of men discussing the unemployment situation. "Hoover told us that he was going to give us prosperity. We believed it, but we art catching hell." "A sarcastic city." "Gee! It's fine to get back to the office and enjoy the stuffy atmosphere there." "We're perplexing intracasals of Baltimore." Paris Exhibits Art PARIS—One of the largest and most complete exhibitions of primitive Negro art ever is now at the Galerie Pigalle. The most of the objects are in black wood, or in many colors of the same bronze. In ivory, a bronze mosaic. In superbronzes from Denin, as well as from the Ivory Coast, Sudan, Cameroons, Gaboon, and Dahomey. African Negro art is the mode in Europe today, and some those bits that were once used are worth收藏. Recently one bit of African art sold for $1500, and the prices are destined to go higher since little is being made.

FOX MOVIETONE NEWS “END OF THE WORLD”—Pathe Talking Comedy “Tarzan the Tiger” No. 4 Thrilling Sound Serial COMING WEEK OF APRIL, 24th BIGGER and BETTER! “THE BROWN-SKIN MODELS” Concords and Discords Baltimore Must be Educated to Symphony Appreciation. The recently concluded series of concerts by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra have given an opportunity to many interested in the musical development of our specific group to hear first class music, played by an orchestra of well-trained executant musicians, which at present surpasses any ensemble we have developed so far. Many of our claimants to an appreciation of real music have been conspicuous by their absence from the groups which have made up the audiences for the series of concerts just ended, but those who are inclined to deplore the fact that the attendance has not been over-flowing (nor has the attendance been anything like commensurate with the grade of artistic attainment reached by the orchestra) must keep in mind that apprehension of symphonic must be developed, and that the process is slow. Many of our zealots for justifying the establishments and continuance of this series on the basis of the number of concerts they have, concerts entirely forget that it would not be a healthy sign of development of a permanent type, if hundreds of persons just crowded to hear the concerts for the sake of being "among those present." The music educators of today firmly believe that the normal reaction to a musical stimulus grows out of the music as such. Real musical appreciation comes from within—it is not based on pride or authority, not any person or thing except each separate individual exposed. The Negro group has suffered long from the music taker who claims to be a great grade music when he really is playing upon the other fellow's ignorance. If symphonic concerts are really intended to help the Negro to an appreciation of the better things in music, (and I firmly believe that those responsible for the symphonic series of music have a continued opportunity to learn to understand and feel what the best composers for the orchestra have had to sav, should be given our group, by affording many occasions the members of the group to become 'exposed' to cultural influence of good music. Small, Yet Enthusiastic Audience, at Season's Final Symphony PLAY MANY FAVORITES Constance Hejda, Soprano, is Soloist Despite the heavy downpour of rain which drenched Baltimore on last Sunday afternoon, a small, but enthusiastic, group of music lovers, attended the final concert of a series given by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra at the Douglass. High School auditorium. The solist for the final concert was a local contralto, one Constance Hejda, who successfully toured the country as a solist with the De Foor Opera Company. Sing Donizetti Music Miss Hjeja sang from two of Donzetti's opera. Her first offering was "O Mio Fernando." from La Favorita and her second number was "Brindisi" from Luceura Borgia. Miss Hjeja has a full rich voice which she uses with skill and intelligence. Miss Hjeja's selections as presented on Sunday did not have a very strong emotional appeal but the illusoryness at all times attractive and pleasing. There were times when (to put it lightly) a very insistent accompaniment on the part of the orchestra about crowded Miss Hjeja's singing out of the opera. The merits of the Douglass auditorium had something to do with. "William Tell" Played The orchestral numbers included the very dramatic overture to the opera "William Tell" by Rossini, the Second Movement from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, the third Movement from the Symphonic Suite "Scheherazade" by Rimsky Korsakoff.

Randolph Smith, chairman, Philadelphia Branch, presented a program to a veterinary clinic in the March 23, at the Wesley A.M.E. Church. The program opened with singing of "Lift Every Voice and Sing," was replete with interesting features, the music in the main of the highest order. There were two plano numbers, *Ghopin's* "Nocturne in F Minor*, by Harold Disberry, which won applause. *Ghagles Williams*, teor, rendered *Jamblin's* "Bells Over Jordan*. *Randeger's* "Save Me. O God" proved an acceptable vehicle for Helen Graft, *Ogranpo* by Haykins *Heykins*, by Mary Burnett, contralto, was well done. William Smith, baritone, sang and Florence A. Williams gave a reading. Isiah Hopkins at the organ, gave a discussion of Reed's "Overture in B Rat." Jazzlips Richardson was Formerly a Snake Charmer Started at $8 per Week, but Quit when Snake Nipped Him. Is Superstitious. "Jazzlips" Richardson, star comic of "Hot Chocolates," who is known to fame as the master of the Hopping Split, seems to have had many a slip in the show business before he developed this difficult hop from what is known as a split; but when he showed it to New York he was "made." "Jazzlips" likes to think that his good fortune is accidental, and that Lady Luck taking up her abode on his door step is just a "happen-so." MUSIC Composes Opera Aaron Harrison, director of the Symphony Musical Studies in Philadelphia, has composed "Whistling Boy," an operetta in three acts. Mr Harrison wrote both lyrics and book and the same is now being considered by several leading producers of light opera. In 1927, he composed the concert overture, "Ode to Lincoln," and followed with "Spiritual Fantasies" and "Spiritual Rhapsody." Last year he was also guest conductor of the Symphony Club Orchestra, a body of one hundred Richardson left his home at Boley, Okla, when he was about eight years of age. He was a public as a snake charmer, at something like $8 a week. He quit when one of his charges nipped him and changed his vocation to dancing. He joined the band as a solo artist. He out. He appeared as the "Wu Man From Borneo." Connie Fired Him When he first went to Connie's Inn he didn't catch with Connie and so he got the "gate." For a year-or so he danced around here and there, mostly there. He learned to feel out audience. He learned to feel out Connie and re-instated. Remember that this here-and-the business, "Jazz" had raised a general ruckus all over the Publix and other circuits as a single and also teaming with Susaye. Back in Harlem he was a bit from the T. Hopping hopping was a riot, and caught the crowd. The show moved on down to Broadway and the boy has been in the limelight ever since. On Broadway the revue became "Hot Chocolates." On evening night the boy was not even smoothed out, and just before opening somebody discovered that there was no way of getting one of the scenes during the change. Richardson went on, and took over the show. He went on "cold" *nc* was a hit. That was the beginning. The following night saw his act billed on the program. How are they trying to get him to come on "next to closing" but he protests. He's superstitious, he is, about that particular spot, which reminds us that "How" superstitious about first floor dressing rooms. IN CLEVELAND THEATRES IN CLEVELAND THEATRES By GEO. D. TYLER "Brown Gal" John Henderson and his "Brown Gal" company got off to a flying start at the Globe on Monday and drew a big crowd deserved two weeks of engagement by the Whitman Sisters' revue. There are many high spots in the show the outstanding feature being the dancing capably handled by little Rastus Brown. The two really rewarded Roy. All three are really anklers but Rastus ran rings around them in a contest. Each of the boys drew big hands for intricate steps, but Rass had the house with him all the way. The girls numerous situations, fine scenery and nice costumes. Alice Ramsay canably handles a couple of "blues" numbers, while John, whose voice has massed with volume, has courted and volume she has courted the Irvin Miller banner, puts over "Brown Gal" (a song to the time of Liza) in a very efficient manner. The chorus works hard and are fast. Mrs. Foster nurses Alice Whitman, close female for tap honors as the leading female tau dance.

If you will patiently see the announcer will tell you about them. Dropped in on the Regular Fellows at the Penn Holed, Wednesday night. The strains of Harold Stephanel and the band of the band would love one's self in the music. The occasion was the signing up of the patrons for the big "freebe" which they propose to hold very soon. A bottle of soft drink was given to the customers and so it could easily be enjoyed. Daniel Sisco, the erstwhile president of the organization, under whose administration the organization has prospered by leaps and bounds, will be heard over this station, next week.

You need to attend bu. one; then you are bound to see Purviance's Bohemian Nights. This Bohemian Night is a cabaret dance. The entertaining will carry one back to the original New York East side. The patrons really enjoy themselves. This past week there was an array of entertainers who drove the blues away, and seemingly it was all right to "take off their skins and walk around in their bones." Among those who were featured on the program were Ages Payne, an old wife, on a few month ago, to the children, on a few month ago, "I Am So Blue," to the patrons' delight. Also Naomi Wright, Charles Booth, Francis Clarke, the Maplayton, Little Nelle Garrett, Sol Garrett, tap king, contributed bits to make the third night a huge success. The chorus — and what a gang — did the shake hips in a way that would have a boast coconstrict wee with envy.

For the first time, an American play, directed by an American and given in the English language was played in theaters night. Paul Robeson played the lead in "The Emperor Jones," under the direction of James Light, formerly of the Provincetown Players of New York. An enthusiastic audience witnessed the performance at the Deutschen Kuenstler Theater. Meanwhile in another section of Berlin, Michael Gold's play, *Bobo*, based on a novel by Harlam its German language debut on the stage of the Volks Beinew which is owned and run by trade unions. Although twelve colored took part in the production, all the acting parts were done by Germans. If You Ask Me Considering the fact that men are still a part of the population and that there seems no way of getting around that fact, and they are often the ones who are inducted into a scheme of things as far as the running of this old world is concerned, you would think that somebody would take a little interest in them. But who does? Let me give you a talk about women. When men hold a confab, they talk about women. Listen in on any femme get-together any day in any week and see whether fussiness is a sign of the conversation except a casual remark that he isn't in the hospital or on the way to the morgue. Here are few observations picked of the body of a body of a body of a body of a body of a body That no woman is every exactly right from the point of appearance. That she may have a beautiful face, but she looks boksey and smokey in her clothes. That she may have good taste in dressing, but her face would stop grandfather's clock. That she may be clever in managing what she is dumb in managing a husband. That she may be the first lady of the land, but she wore a black hat with a blue dress (or vice versa) at their wedding. That she hoped the famous "tea" ensemble as more appropriate to the occasion than the Baltimore luncheon outfit was. That she may have taken a beauty prize but they didn't think so much That she sings beautifully, but why must all singers be fat? That a woman can do anything a man can do from carrying a hook to running the government (and I believe this too; it isn't just a pose). That women are never right, as far as other women are concerned, but let a mere man criticise one for anything from arson to murder, and the philanthropist, she had a perfectly reasonable right to do whatever she did. ***** And just before a meeting of a group of business men and ministers, this was the run of the conversations: That no woman with "It" had brains, that no woman with brains had "It" anyway. Regardless of Cloepatra's way with the gentlemen, she ruled Egypt at the same time. Still that doesn't mean anything. That girls who go in for self-government are those who can't go in for anything else. That the young working girl spends most of her time and income on make-up and clothes and realizes that being a working girl is all a mistake, and that her freedom isn't what it was nuffed up to be, and that she'd give it up any minute. She doesn't what have you. (There are about four and a half million working women in this country and a good percentage of them earn around $10,000 a year. They couldn't excact their life with life, but why bring that up?) That to the real woman love is her whole existence. That churches, recitals—both literary and music—lectures and art exhibitions are the best places mart parish women, the majority of whom are married; but that seeking this outside diversion doesn't mean that home and children can't fill a woman's whole existence. That women, although they spend an average of two-thirds of what their husbands and fathers earn, and what many a smart little office clerk can do with twelve dollars a week is no mess; but you shouldn't mention that. That women are honestly romantic—and so on an infinitum. By this time I had gotten so heated that I dug out of my corner, and sat on a damper on the conversation, but it all goes to show that men are not even important to themselves. Frills and Fancies By EMMY LOU It is hard to make up one's mind about dresses—there are so many, so different, and so attractive, and you must also surround shoes, gloves, jewelry and other little items. You must really get one of those chiffon ensemble dresses, in black, for black is always good. Besides, the black and white vogue of a few springs ago is returning. I saw one in the store recently, that was charming. It was black with the new lace yoke in white,—or perhaps it was nearly white, with a jacket braided with black and a lace black straw trimmed in two or three lace appliques would be just too fetching with this gown. Then, too, you could wear it for event or formal dinners. If you like your black linened up a little more, there was in the same shop a black flat crepe green jacket, and a black plaid plaid jacket, the natural waistline. However, if you don't like black at all, or have too much of it already, there was a lovely brochure that was nearly blue made with the popular and youthful bolera. The underlouse was blue print. There were several black printed crepes, which are also blue. The underlouse also will be worn with that black straw. In fact there were dresses of so many hues that I am sure that you will find one that you will like and that will be become. . . . If you are fortunate enough to have a suit or a dress or two left over from last season to wear these warm bright days, before you buy your new spring outfit, you will have a bolera. Bolera 711 David Hill area, who will renovate them so well for you that you will have the sensation of wearing something new. He calls for them and delivers them too, which is such a convenience for busy people. With the approach of warmer weather, long hair and long bobs begin to worry one, so you barber will warn you "My Barber will warn you another bob. Of course the warm days will play a hide and seek with us for a while, but it is more economical to have your hair in the style that you are going to wear, before buying spring headwear.

After the show, between laughing at the comedians and slinging with the lovers, I had an empty feeling. Stopper had one of their excellent climbers, thus ending a pleasant day.

THE HISTORY OF ALPHA PHI ALPHA, by Dr. CHASSEY B. DENNETT. Washington, D.C. The main facts in the history of the oldest Greek letter fraternity are that it was founded in a beautifully bound volume in readable style. It relates the genesis of the fraternity to the colleges and the development out of which have grown all other fraternities and so-called colleges. It also describes the founders and leaders and memorial- izes the activities of two Baltimore-me- s, S. S. Booker* and Carl Murphy, who inaugurated the present form of the "Go to College, Go to High School movement" and the annual pilgrimage of the fraternity convention to the homes of famous Negroes. PLAYS AND PAGEANTS FROM THE LIFE OF THE NEGRO, by Willis Richardson. Printed by the Associated Publishers, 1588 Ninth St., nw., Washington, D.C. A collection of eight plays and four pageants by Negro authors, written primarily for use in the public schools. Three of the plays are by Mr. Richardson and two by Miss Mary Miller, daughter of Dean Kelly Miller, now in Douglass High School, Baltimore. In view of the campaign of community organizations throughout the nation to eliminate books from school libraries in which offensive epithets are used, it is difficult to understand why the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History should sponsor, or Miss Miller, herself a teacher, should offer such an admirable one—act play as "Riding the 'Goat.' with its repeated use of the offensive word 'nigger." The word appears six times in Miss Miller's spoken dialogues. “Tj Yette,” another one-act play, by John Matthews, intended for advanced students in high schools and colleges, not only offends in the use of the word “nigger,” but also spells the word “Negro” with a small “n.” The campaign of the N.A.A.C.P. through which 150 daily papers have been published by Negro "Negro" has doubtless been lost on the Negro History Association.

The youth rubbed his hands hewideredly over his face, then shook His head in an effort to get his senses back. Apparently he did not even see Zedda any longer.

"Let me by, please," Rod muttered "Say-Lyla threw you down once What do you want her to think-- that you're a sap?" "Get out of the way!" Rod ordered her roughly. "The girl's eyes blazed.

"But I've had a very nice time," he crushed less formally. "Thanks a lot." He left them abruptly. "Say! Let me in on this," Martin demanded. of Tess, "what happened? Well, you see it was like this," Tess began in a low voice. Then she told Martin of Lya's arrival in time *to see Zeda in Rod's arms. Martin didn't think that a tough boy could do Rod. He's really 'looney' about Lyla. *By catching a motor on the hearth to get down to the desk to be appointed to the appointed time. Kling was sitting at his desk absorbedly poring over some documents in front of him. "All right. Cowboy." Kling remarked, as he folded up the papers he had been perusing and thrust them into his pocket. "We are ready to go. But first I got a surprise for you. I'm real nice surprise. What do you "What is it?" asked Rod a trifle incursively. His mind was on Lyla and the event: of the past few hours, "I got a fight for you! A good one. God's interest quickened. "A light? Gee, that's great. Mr. Kling. I feel like doing some fighting. The sooner the better. When does it come off?" "That's the spirit! King appa- ed. 'I'm glad you want a real fight. I'll tell you. I got such confidence ability that I've done everything everybody will call me crazy for. You know that the light heavyweight champ fighters in two weeks? Weil. I got you the semi-windup fight on that card!" BOD'S BIG CHANCE Red whistled incredulously. "But, Mr. Kling, that's an important spot. I thought only fighters with national reputation fought the next most important fight on a championship card." "Sure. That's right. But after the fight you're gonna be hit. If you beat the boy you're going to fight." "Till beat him, all, right." Rod "I'll beat him, all right," Rod promised. "Aren't you even curious to know who he is?" Kling asked narrowly, his keen eyes watching Rod. "I've got two arms, two legs, and whatever else the boy is going to fight has got." Rod declared signifi- "Thatabay!"

Don't you think that fellows a little too good for "What did you just tell me? "Kling demands. "That still goes." Rod cried. "All right.

Kling's eyes sparkled. "Boy, what publicity w: will get. And if you win, he paused dramatically to blow, kiss toward the ceiling, "would be the most exciting fighter in the whole world, Kid!" we saw him. "Whaw!" breathed Rod. "You scare me to death!" "I feel it in my bones you’re going to beat him!" Kling assured Rod confidently, "But do not get it. Its that it is going to be easy. It’s not Latoz is a tough guy, and no fooling. It’s got a former sparring partner of nis to work with you so you can catch on his style of scrapping. This Latoz bird hits like dynamite, but I've noticed that he can takr 'em." He glanced at his watch. "But now you want to hurt. I didn't see you yet, but we are on our way now to sign up for the fight. Let's go!" **** They had but a few blocks to go and they went on foot. As they pushed their way down the downhill, many persons hailed King, and looked at Rod curiously. As they were passing a drug store King suddenly clapped his hand to his head and halted. "Golly, I come near forgetting something!" he exclaimed. "Come on inside this drug store. Cowboy We're going to come up some coupa news reporters can be on and while we sign up." BIG PUBLICITY The call did not take long. Rod, standing nearby, heard Klim dis- A man in a hat reaches out to a large bull.

SMITH guise his voice a trifle while he informed somebody that if they wanted to be in on something good to hustle right away over to the office. He was sitting in where Kling was going to skim up his new fighter, who had never had a fight, with Mickey Latzo, chief challenger of the middleweight champion. He insisted that he knew knows Kling aln't crazy, so maybe you'd better hustle a reporter over to see what it's all about." Kling was smiling humorously when they came out. "Well but the newspaper mall already when we were there. Let's walk kinda slow. Cowboy." Accordingly they drew along with Kling halting to peer into various store windows. "See, Kid," he cried at one of the places, "a bathrobe of red." He is going to get that for "The Steer, its red eyes reed and frothing, halted as Ro vision." you, and have the picture of a horse—no, a steer—no-jets' see—well, we'll figure out something to put on the back of it to carry out the idea that you really are a cowboy. Rod laughed. "I never had a silk dressing gown in my life. Mr. Kling," he confessed. "Yes, but when you go to the ring before a fight, everything like that helps." Kling imitated the Tiger Flowers, the ex-middleweight champion, had a tiger on the back of his hand. By now the, had reached the entrance of the Chicago Arena Building. Kling, a staunch side of offices. A smart dressed girl asked them their names, and when Kling told her, she showed them into an inner office where several men had already At a big flat-topped desk sat a man with heavy features and iron grey hair. He was the matchmaker for the very slapper. He dapper man with highly polished hair, fox-like eyes, and a sauve smiling manner. On the hand which he extended with an appearance of cordiality to Kling's there spawned a large diamond. "Who was Karnes, the manager," "Why, if it isn't my old friend Kling!" he cried. "Put her there." Kling's stools hands gingerly. "How's the boy bandit?" he asked. "This can't be the boy you bring in, for fistic combat with my Mickey?" Karnes exclaimed with feigned incredulity, as he stared at Rod. "Why, this frail child appears to be nothing but a boy." Rod flushed anger. "Mister Karnes," Kling broke in quickly. "He is just a young child, and he's not very strong—" his voice changed, grew sharper, "but he's got enough stuff to slap your dear little Mickey down!" "Oh lizzat" so" a new voice de- Kling looked up to face a thickest youth whose broken nose, scarred face, and badly curled ears bespoke the veteran, prizefighter. "Oh hello, Mickey!" Kling greeted him. Then unabashed. he went on. I was just telling 'your manager how my boy was going to put the sign on you. Step over this way and meet him." Lato strode across the room swiftly. Rod extended his hand expectantly, but when the other youth was within a foot of him, he saw th. t Lato had no intention of shaking, hands with him. BOD AND LATZO SIGN "We'll do our paw wringing when we meet in the ring," Lato growled, his dark grey eyes glaring into Rods' Rod smiled into the glass. "OK. He said out loud. He had not moved, nor had his face altered any sign of trepidation when the other fighter strode up to him. The man behind the desk spoke up suddenly. "Cut the comedy." he dered. "Kling. Karnes come on over he so we can get together, terms, have these puns sit up and get it over with." Several newspaper men, who were sprawled around the office, scratched busily at their pads for a minute, then relaxed into slouching atti- After Wart Was Removed heel and walked over to a window which overlooked the busy street below. Karnes and Kling drew chairs up to the desk. Rod found a seat. For the next half hour the office was filled with loud talking, wrangling, and even vituperation as Karnes and Kling sought to come to terms. "I should give you twenty-seven per cent," Karnes shouted, his savvity forgotten, "when this punk kid has not even had a fight, so you say." "What has that got to do with getting a fair cut of the money?" Kling demanded. "If you think you may such an earnest boy, you why be satisfied to take the big end and call it square?" "Folks aren't coming out to see YOUR boy fight, and you know it!" Karnes insisted vehemently. "Mickey slap him over, because they know Mickey is going to be the next middleweight champ." "Oh, yean?" Kling inquired softly. "Well, I amne tell you something that there will be a new challenger! See?" "See you!" Karnes snorted. "Uup! Sez me." Kling retorted placidly. "But that isn't getting our terms straight." He, too, was nervous. "You, that way-seven per cent for my boy, and that goes. Not a nickel less!" rolling wildly, its nostrils dilat- od came into the range of its "And I say that you're hot!" Karnes insisted. "You're going to take twenty per cent and like it!" "Well, maybe twenty-five per cent," Kling wavered. Karnes was quick to follow up this advantage. "I said twenty per cent!" "You are a bandit," Kling mourned sadly. "But I wouldn't take twenty. I take it not a penny less than twenty-two and one half per cent, and if you don't like that, the fight's off." "Oh, all right," Karnes said in. "But at that you're getting about twenty per cent." He won't be in the ring but about a half minute before Mickey bounces him out on his heen!" "We'll see," Kling prophesied. "Now, let's sign the contract." As Rod and Latzo faced each across the broad desk there was a charge. Unnoticed by them, a newspaper photographer had set his camera up. "I didn't want to tell you that I was going to take your pictures, or might change faces, fisting expressions and facees and try to look pretty!" the camera man apologized. THE BOUT STAGED Kling rubbed his hands in satisfaction. Karnes also smiled. Both were old campinners in the fist game, and each knew he was in danger of arguing over the terms of the contract, each knew that the reporters were listening, and would use some of their statements. Now they exchanged knowing grins; Kling suggested to Rod, "We want to get back over to the gym so you can get a rubdown." As they left the office, two of the reporters followed them; they going over to Rod, "one of them "You don't mind if we string along with you, Mr. King?" "Come right along," Kling invited them heartily. "Do you smoke?" "Do you see any newspaper guys who hurt?" the other reporter smorted. Kling gave each several cigars. On the street the afternoon crosses, homeward the street in the park. The hounding of horns, the rumbling of street cars, and the various other noises which go to make the voice of a big city, made conversation almost impossible. He was walking with Rod. The other with Kling. As they came to an intersection they were forced to wait for a traffic signal. As they stood at the truck bump, the truck bumper tumbled slowly over the street. The truck was boarded high on each side, and through the apertures the brown and red beasts could be seen swaying as the truck bumped. He realized that the cattle were panic stricken by the noise and confusion of the downtown streets. They gave forth loud below-throwing their heels around, they added to the din of the traffic. "Rey, Kid," the reporter who was walking with Rod cried. "there's some sure enough cows, horns and everything." "They're not cows. they're long-horns—steers." Rod corrected. "Well, you ought to know all about them. You're from their home town," After Operation to Remake Nose By NANCYLYNDON Correspondent and Special Writer. SCIENCE has come to the aid of those who wish the kind of faces that Nature forgot to give them. Somehow, most of us would like to have things. made over. We don't like our names, or we don't like our hair, our eyes, teeth, noses, lips. We are never quite satisfied with the deal that Nature gives us. And this is natural. Science now, has come to the aid of those who want to change their faces. By various methods we can change the type and style and texture of our hair. We can have our teeth changed to suit us. By various kids we can powder and paint to improve upon the skin and its texture, thus it is natural that a successful method has been found to change our faces. Nothing is permanent to-day for children of women whom they be found next month looking allogether different. Many colored people have availed themselves of the ability of the plastic surgeon. Noses have been changed. They have experienced the same thrill that came to Jack Dempsey. We have found that he had a nose that only an artist could properly admire. Our noses, somewhat; can give us self assurance and confidence, or they can make us hesitant and uncertain. Thus our noses make us as far as our contact with others is concerned. As our noses affect us, so also do our chins. A too small or too large chin proves difficult to forget. Our eyes and the contours of our cheeks show us the mirrors. "Fixing" the Nose After ten days most noses are ornated and are firm and true with lines of neatness and smooth. Sutlips are used to record reactions. Special care and skill are needed in cleaning noses for a false move by an inexperienced surgeon of the new art; make the nose even more flat; sometimes a facta' paralysis develops. Remaking the Eyes Eyes too, may be changed. They can be "buttonholed" as noses are the reporter joked. They were about to cross the street when a loud crash and a lotor belighted the crowd. The time to see the cattle truck careen madly over the street and crash into an electric light pole. Another valuable witness was on the side in the middle of the street. They had been a collision. As they watched, they were horrified to see the end gate that had been leaped wide by the animals leap widely to the pavement. It stood for a moment as though bewildered, then lowering its head, it chargedumberly across the street toward them. Police screamed. Men shouted. a policeman on the corner ran excitedly toward the stamped animal, his revolver waving uselessly before him. He teared to shoot. it was plain to In the confusion which followed, a number of children who had been standing on the sidewalk were forced off into the street by their manic-striken elders.

You can be taken to prevent the cutting of an one of the hundreds of delicate nerves that center about the eye. Eyelashes, too, have been adjusted, grafted and produced to be more delicate. They are grafted, the hairs are not inserted one by one as some may think. Instead, a portion of delicate skin is crafted on, in which already are growing the eyelashes, and the hairs have frequently been taken from the eye of a young healthy person suddenly killed, or they have been taken from some delicately nailed portion of the body of the patient. The ponies of plastic surgery are many. Its results are remarkable. Faces may be changed so startlingly that family acquaintances can be fooled. All walks of life have turned into a series of faces seeking for help to rectify Nature. Plastic surgery is the Cinderella which waves the wind and prestol noses are changed, lips are smoothed out, chins are remodeled, and our eyes are restored and fathers are unable to recognize us. Beauty of face, like beauty of figure, has its effect upon the mind. After a successful operation the patient feels your age, changes your youngness and happier, because she enjoys life more and there is no dodging the mirrors. Bright eyes straight nose, small ears, change the shape of your face, and happier, because but if you are dissatisfied with the face that you must live behind and your bank account will not permit you to visit a plastic surgeon on your own, you will face plain faces look sad and tired, but laughter and gayety makes them handsome in appearance to the other fellow—and that somehow is what counts so much—the way the other fellow sees us. With plastic surgery available for all of us, the time may come, when you want to visit the office.

When you get there, walk along a stream, up over a hill, through a field, along a violet-strewed road, anywhere and everywhere, breathing deeply, in the nature, learning about Mother Nature at first hand. Take the kiddies and get them started on a leaf collection, a butterfly collection, a stone collection, an insect collection. It will take you out more often if you have something to go for. one furious motion. The sight of the little children in the path of the tremened steer made his soul turn sick at the thought of what would happen if he were not able to stop the body, the steer being its nostrils dilated and frothing, hated as Rod came into the range of its vision. The bronzed youth stood directly in the path, his arms extended toward it. From the sidewalk King's pleading voice came faintly, "Cowboy, Cowboy, don't let yourself get hurt! Rod came back my boy!" Rod paid him no head. The steer wagged its rear slowly, from its crooked horns lowered menacingly. Women were screaming hysterically. Men's voices rose high over the other noises, shouting useless advice. Abruptly the steer plunged toward it, seemed to be in a state of force could the crazed animal before it could drive its wicked horns into Rod's body, and trample him with its cumbrous pointed hooves.

CARDUI HELPS WOMEN TO HEALTH Pat to Pansy The Matinee Ensemble Celebrates Fifth Birthday. Ehcel Scott Entertains the Girlgags and Friends. c. DEAR PANSY: Are all is said and done, what are we coming to anyway? Worldly things, excitement, pleasures, seemingly are the uppermost thoughts of our minds. There has been scarcely any social pleasures during these forty days and forty nights of penance. Even men have caught the fever, and are now devoting their evenings to making trumps and grandads. We see them in the place of a social cup of tea; and whiskey flasks and cigarettes precious treasures of so-called society young women at formal dances and night clubs. Scanning the social schedule for the beginning of Passion Week, every evening will end the week with a tedious party. house hops and theatre parties. Maybe Holy Week—the most sacred and sadest of the calendar—will bring to mind that only through sacrifices can great things be accomplished. So tense are pleasure seeking folk that they have begun already eagerly anticipating events to come after Easter. Inquisitive people who could do much better attending to their own needs, and finding out who will be strolling the boardwalk in Atlantic City on Easter Sunday, and what this one and that one will be wearing during the Easter celebration of the season. However, Pansy, the most interesting of the social events of the week were the Matinee Ensemble's birthday party, and the Beta Alpha Chi Omega chapter of the organization, the events of the week were also enjoyed. To begin— Matinee Ensemble's Birthday "An Evening in the Orient" proved to be quite a delightful affair as she met the Maitre on Saturday evening, on the occasion: "their fifth anniversary, at the home of Mrs. Bertha Winston, club president. 2000 Madison Avenue. The home of the Maitre to see by decorations of Japanese lanters and palms. The guests were received by several young hostesses, including Bastice Beatrice Harris, Marie Harris, Beatrice Harris, Irma Kellam, Beulah Scott and Marie Griggsy. The club, which is made up of a number of matrons, includes in the frivolous side of life, presented their members in the costumes of the various Eastern countries, each of whom gave a sketch of the country she represented. And Howard M. Gross, dear, as master of ceremonies, introduced the participants in his inimitable manners. Mrs. Minnie Walden, representing Arabia, began with a brief history of her country told to the soft strains of the piano played by Mitch. Mitch played by James Young and M. Purviance. Mrs. Mildred Holland, garbed in Italy, to the straps of "O Sole Mio." Italy, to the strains of "O Sole Mile". Mrs Ellen Brough, brought her to the occasion and a few moments when she, as France, gave the delights of a country noted for its beauty and pleasures, to the martial tune of "La Marsellaise". The mysteries of the old Eggy of 4000 years, described by Sir Violet Hill Whyte, grown in green, a reminder of the Nile. Mrs Clara Harris was a Parsl woman of India, and described the strange customs of that Eastern land, while musicians played "The Song of India." Spain made a characteristic showing with a Spanish noblewoman in the person of Alberta Diggs, a gold costume, with a black lace mantille, accompanied by two ladies in waiting, Mrs Nellie Wood and Mrs Violet Manoko. All wore exquisite shawls. Chinese included Mrs Pannie Jenkins, Mrs Berthe Winston and Miss Elaine Stanley. Miss Winston sang a solo, after a brief description of Japan. Mrs Edith Scott portrayed the hidden beauty of Turkish women, and Mamie Doughlass was a Chinese lady. Mrs. Jenkins presented the president, Mrs. Winston, on behalf of the club, a beautiful rose brocaded pillow, at the conclusion of the program. The fifty or more guests then took part in a game of wits for which six prizes were awarded, and believe me, girlie, the Smart Set Magazine would have done well to have had a reporter there. Mrs. Anna McMechen and Miss Mary E. Goode tied for first prizes: Mrs. Annie R. Frisby and George S. Whyte were awarded the second prizes, and Miss Viola Coulbourne and Joshua E. Maxwell, the third prizes for the most questions correctly answered. The delightful club members included Mesdames Violet Monoko, Nellie Wood. Bertha Winston, Alberta Jones, Mamie Douglass, Fannie Jenkins, Violet Whyte, Edith Scott, Ellen Tingle, Mildred Holland, Clara Harris, Estelle Carr, Julia Calloway, Isabelle Williams, Misses Elaine Stanley and M. Gary. Ethel's Party *Ethel Scott, Pansy, is one of those little busy bodies that says little but means a whole lot—as cute as they make and carries sunny clothes she goes.

College Tossers Cop First Game of City Series by 43-35 Decision BIG GUNS BELCH Spencer, Henderson, Jones Lead Scoring Although they had Chink Wyatt, their star gunner back in the lineup, after an absence of several fortnights, Athenians found themselves no match for the Morgan Bears in the first of the games for the mythical city championship, and as a result lost by a 43-35 score at the press tables less New Albert andorium, Friday night. The score fails to tell the tale, because the collegians' score is considerably lower than what it might have been if the Methodists had been inclined to shift into high gear. As a result, they were the game in second, and kept the Greek horde panting for victory. Morgan Shonters "On" As is usually the case when these two teams meet in annual rivalry, Morgan had a typical "on" night as far as shooting was concerned. Shots that at any other time, would have bounced on the basket or the mark, the wank, swished through the netted cords with such regularity that they seemed almost uncanny. Lanky Jones, Pinky Clarke and Jack Spencer, proved liberal contributions to the basket, offering into the basket in a way that had the basketball-crazy fans doing a primitive shout. Twice Pinky co-ked his leg and let fly overhand waves that floated through the netting without the courtesy of touching the ball. In court Jack Spencer fired at the basket—and hit. It was Spencer's best shooting game of the 1930 season. Henderson is Mainstay Following an old Morgan custom Lanky Jones kept in the van by scoring 13 points. Sim Henderson who added in training, Sim Henderson made the athletic man, proved the backbone of the Athenian offense, counting 13 points to tie with Larky Jones and Spencer for high scoring honors. Henderson played a consist- ent, taking advantage of high height in hating in the ball beneath the basket.

Second Half Close The second half found competition rather close, with the teams batting on rather even terms.

C.-Final preparations have been made for the annual Easter Monday baseball tilt between Livingstone College and Smith University in Charlotte. Because of the fact that the Charlotte league team is opening up its season on Eastern Monday, the game is being played in the morning at 10:30. This is the second history of the game that it has occurred in the game, and the last time the crowd was larger than ever. Before the game, the crack chapter of the Ameican Legion in Charlotte that won international honors in Louisville last fall will execute drills and will present later on "Miss Livingstone" and "Miss Smith" to the Outfielder Hurt The Livingstone Blue Bears had a lay-off this week and Coach Clement sent his charges through rigid paces shaping them up for the two games this week at T. College. The first casualty of the season occurred last week when McManus, varsity right fielder, wrenched his arm in a fall when coming in fast for a Texas leaguer. When koken was playing, the pessimism reigned in the Bears' camp, but Tucker, a newcomer from Spartanburg, S. C., bids fair to surpass the ace with his baffling assortment of curves, innotchs and dazzling speed, most likely the timing during for the occasion will fall on his shoulders. At Smith, the Bulls have played three games so far, winning two by large margins and tying for the biggest win. Thomas finding a pitcher to fill the shoes of the invincible Hayes who triumphed over Yokeele in three games out of four. Ellis seems to be the likelihood prospect. The infield is already functioning smooth and well, Smith is showing up rather well. Smith has more games before Easter Monday.

Uncle Willie Cigar SMILES. SIZE 5¢ FOILWRAPPED At Your Dealer- The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, April 12, 1930 HearMeTalkin'toYa NONE asked me to write what follows. rather I suspect that any number would be pleasantly relieved if I stopped writing altogether (which of course, might not be such a bad idea) but the wife and kiddies must be fed, boys, so what's a pooh? He's a pooh. If left unsaid, would have allowed me to say in the first paragraph, that this basketball officiating business in man's town is getting to be as populous as one's head in a lion's head. I don't know, but those babies (with teeth, of course) haven't eaten for a fortnight or so. course) that hasn't eaten to it. Not because his surname happens to be the same as this sports tattler, and not because of any personal feeling, but because this department feels that something should be done about it, do I make bold to say that instead the criticism of the referee L. U. Gibson, the knockers, should get together, and from the group as a whole to help to assist him, or to take his place. sembled, pick someone up. No official is in effect, and Mr. Gibson falls into this category. I do not believe that his judgment has been biased, but that he has called on him as he saw them," as the boys say. On occasions, some of his decisions have been rather raw, but when the game was over, and the score tallied, it would be found that there was not such a wide difference in the fools called on both teams. wide difference in the job role. There is no one in the city who has advocated more vigorously the employment of two officials in basketball games here, than this writer. Just the other day a coach from one of the leading state universities said that three officials be used in all games next year. Whether this is necessary or no, is not to be discussed here, I do insist that two men should be used. but I do insist that he Shields, who was breaking in rather well in the handling of games, but had to give it up because of work, was next in line in the officiating business here. When he dropped else took it up. Officiating is a serious business that requires more study than the average young man willing to give it, and when one considers the rewards involved, it probably is a roaring or avocation. not such an inviting place are not acquainted with many of the technicalities, but compared with fans in other cities. Baltimore fans have a high percentage of basketball knowledge. If you go to floor and don't "know your stuff," as they say, you Scidimiava, you are in for a bad evening, and it takes more than a whistle to be able to keep a level head when fans and players are wrangling about decisions. The Baltimore Board of Officials made a step toward the development of offices by devoting quite a bit of time to the study of rules, and has had some of its members get some practical experience, or add to their previous experience, by handling some preliminary games. These games should be seriously as any of the main games should just as carefully. The tendency, however, seems to be in the other direction. The attitude seems to say, "Well, this is just a preliminary, so why be bothered with these details?" But this sort of thing will not go, and it is for the group of sideline woofers and a few team managers as well, to stop hounding about the decisions and produce someone who can quality or who is willing to be trained. 'Villenture to me' is out of 100 of fans have seen inside of the rule book. Despite objective the use of Referee Gibson, the teams find themselves the object to his door and ringing his bell everytime they want a competent official. Two other officials were tried in a big game here, and the reaction was not so favorable. With one man available, there is no alternative. And I am sure that there are times when Gibson would rather not refer than do not accept. I, however, admit such deficiencies as he may have, and I'm sure he'll agree that he is no model of perfection, this official represents the BEST that Ballimore can offer. We could use at least four or five more men here and still not be robbing anybody, as that reason, this pillar of the game is likely engaging things, is standing in front of us to take the names of persons in the city interested in the business of basketball officiating. This is not said in jest, but in all sincerity. Here is a worthy cause, and I feel safe in saying that Leonard, of the clan of Gibson (remember, no relation) will have no objection to it. G UST BECAUSE you might not know it, and because, after knowing it, you'll probably be able to do nothing about it. this pillar is passing on information gleaned from him, and you, white, who keeps the readers of the New York Graphic posted on things faint. It seems that Damon Runyon, who has secured the services of George Godfrey, as one of the principals in the semi-windup to the Sharkey-Schmeling bout at the Yankee Stadium, June 12, tried to get Arthur De Kuh, Italian heavy, as Gawg's opponent. Mr. Jennings relates: "Damon Runyon tried to pair him with Arthur De Kuh, the Italian heavyweight, and offered John O'Brien, Arthur's manager, $5,000 for his purse. O'Brien replied that De Kuh was worth $15,000 against the giant black. Runyon cannot get any heavy of importance to sign a contract to fight Gawge, even though they will aid the fight of all charities, by the colored man. "Then, again, De Kuh may be missing the chance of his career. Jack Sharkey established himself by winning from Godfrey and Harry Wills." It is this sort of thing that nauseates even the hardest partisan, but there seems to be no way out. The dark-skinned fighter has to bide his time, and usually that is too easy. He has to be careful, as Larry Johnson or Young Jack Thompson can testify along with a host of others. Yet, when you look around and see Kid Chocolate knocking 'em right and left, and getting return dates with some of the boys he has past pretty severely, you wonder how he does it, not? But if you look below, you must consider that in addition to being an excellent piece of fighting machinery, Chocolate has an advantage in having as his manager an alert and aggressive man — a man who learned from newspaper experience the lessons of speed and accuracy, and who developed an analytical mind. Chocolate's manager, Luis Gutierrez, is responsible for much of his success. Secondly, you must take in the fact that Chocolate is considered a "forgier," while the average skin is black, he is still considered a "forgier," and the average Nordic would rather lose to a foreigner than to an American Negro any time. By reason of his foreign birth, Chocolate has a different outlook toward life. He is not oppressed by the psychoses that might handicap an American Negro, born, let's say, in Alabama or Georgia. Consequently, when he comes to a ring, he goes in to the police WHITE MAN. And he goes in to finish that opponent as quickly as possible. Because he has a flashy style of fighting and because of his impressive record, he is in demand. What promoter, who knew he could line his pockets with filthy urine by scheduling Chocolate on his card, would pass up such money? None of 'em would and you So it seems that if the boys want to get in on the heavy dough they must disguise themselves and declare that they come from Abyssinia, Tokio, or any place other than America. And bless my sole. If Billy Edwards from Washington hasn't done that very thing. He's now El Kadir, of Turkey, if you please, with just a little dressing. DOWN ON the Eastern Sho, where dwells Master Howard Leonard, horseshoe pitching champion of Maryland Free State — Salisbury, to be exact — the equine footwear is ringing mildly against iron pegs. Horseshoe pitching fever comes with spring and when it gets you, you're "got." Young Leonard writes, "I am the one of the place where you buy a traction glove of horseshoe, also the price. I would like also to have the regulations regarding play, etc. I am expecting to visit, your city again this year." The 1929 champion is starting early — starting early in view of being champion again in 1930. It is hardly necessary to point to the moral of this tale. Prepared to win, the champion is in pitching horseshoes you must start early. Certainly, if champions must start early, non-champions should be getting in form. These warm spring days furnish an excellent opportunity to get the proper form in throwing those ringers that you have dreamed about. They can be made reality if you heed the lesson given by young Leonard. And you Baltimore fans who crave action, just watch Young Kid Norfolk, who is fighting under Philadelphia. Tuesday night, Norfolk, while he is fighting under a Chester (Pa.) banner, is a local box, and one of the scrappest youngsters to draw on a glove.

TITANS WIN JERSEY TITLE SECOND TIME Orange Quint Captures State Championship by 41-25 victory REX JUNIOR CHAMPS Top Council Juniors by 27-21 Score TRENTON N.J.-The Titan Bears of Orange downed the Sunlight Elks of Trenton Wednesday night in the finals of the Bordentown Basketball Tournament, and in so doing won the New Jersey A.A.U. title for the second consecutive year. The champions showed their best form of the season in overwhelming the Trenton quintet, for it was the Elks who eliminated St. Joseph Coach of Newark last week the Newerats being chosen by the wise ones early in the season as this year's prospective champs. It is this same basketball center that has produced such luminaries of the basketball world as Pappy Ricks, Lanky Jones, Pinky Clark, and the young brothers, but the Titan warriors showed that new crop is every way as a promising team. In way that they met Trenton on her home court, blocked off her dazzling attack, and swept through to a 41-25 victory. Ray Murphy and Captain Jesse Miles had a royal night, the former carrying the attack in the first half of the game, and the other in half of 13 and 14 points respectively. Beautiful pass work and an air-tight defense spelled Trenton's rain in spite of the rain. Neal Saunders her star forwards. A 17-11 advantage at half time was quickly increased in the third quarter, and the last period found Titan's first goal. With increased ease to pile up a 16-point lead at the closing whistle. Rex Cops Junior Title Rex Club of Trenton won a surprising victory over a team that outclassed them during the first half. Student Council Jr.s started off at a certificate game, but it seemed to be a rout for the Trenton junior combination. Van Harler kept his team in the running with four field goals in the first half, but the North Jersey lads led at half time 20-17. The second half the entire Council went to pieces, and even Johnson, who had been shooting like a wizard during the first half, missed set-up and set-up again, under the basket, while Rex plugged away to gain a lead. He scored a field goal and sank a four try for a total of one point in the second half. Rex won. 27-21.

If appearances are to be taken seriously, Coach Cato Adams has material superior to that of last year. His veteran outfielders, E. Wormley, Tate, and Wallace are on hand being seriously pressed by Goodle, Gray and Andrew of qualifier baltics and/or Gordie Williams and two or three others are to be reckoned with. The infield has been very perplexing except for shortstop when "Bynum-Armstrong" goes off the field. Good hitters have been guilty of over-arming from third base. E. Henderson who can play anywhere in the infield is not the best player to stand. Fountain and Tyler won't give each other rest around the initial corner. Pendleton, with plenty of pep, finds himself in a low is not a consistent performer. Parne who will fit in with any high school infielder is striving to cut down scholastic difficulties.

AS GIRLS SEE IT Not long ago we predicted in the column that Wilmington, N. C. Hick School grills would bring home the State Championship game. Did it happen in the basketball tournament. They did it. Probably next year some other school will get the key win, but the champs will get their sheen skins this year. Last year the team lost several players by graduation, but Mrs. Harey plays, and always has something on her sleeves. Poor Sportsmanship Speaking of top notch teams, Mr. Harlee said, "Some other teams could play. Wilmington closely coaches and give players a boost, by teaching them proper sportsmanship. Some of the trainers have instilled the 'win' spirit into their players until they will best when they met an actually good team." "I have wittened games where the girls did so much fighting talking back to the referee, tripping to render a foul, and not so much fighting but a straight jacket. And their coaches backed them up in it." "But Wilmington girls don't play the brand of ball. They are real sports. So taking everything together I'd say that their holding the championship cup for several years due not only to their solitude but also to their real sportsmanship." Blues Want Games HUNTINGTON, W.

Walker Building Indianapolis Indiana Live Agents Wanted COACH NAMES TRACK STARS OF DECADE Brookins, Hubbard, Edwards, Tolan, Listed With "All-Timers" TELLS OF BABE COOKE West, Utterback, and Lewis Also Included By T. WARREN GRAHAM SYRACUSE, N. Y. "Negro track athlete the past decade have contributed in stirring chapter to track punts" Thos F. Keane, veteran track mentor of Syracuse University and who was assistant Olympic coach for the last three meets, made the preceding statement in an interview, after completing a survey on the subject. "Beginning with the brilliant Brookins of Iowa, who in the 1920 Olympics came through to win the low hurdles in record time, and up to the incomparable Edwards of New York University, Negro tracksters have enjoyed a prominent place in the spiked shoe limelight. "Charles Brookins, DeHart Hubbard, Phillip Edward, and the diminutive Eddie Tolar of Michigan, covering the periods of the last ten years, have to shoot at for years to come. A galaxy of others along with these have also carved their niches in the ball of track fame." Cecil Cooke Says the famous old coach, "The achievements of these men are not notable because of who they are but because the sacrifices they make while in college cover more than one evil. In a big sense they are all 'white clean through. When Cedric Hall was a college champion, had worn the Orange of Syracuse in his last intercollegiate race, he gave his medal to Frank Hugo, his trainer, with the word, "You have treated me 'white.'" Following Brookins's record smashing performance in the hurdles came when he first deemed to be an all-time record of 25 ft. 7 inches and over in the broad jump. In the fall of 1927 at Cleveland Ohio, he leaped to an unofficial world record of twenty-six feet in the broad jump, and on the same day he equaled the then existing record for 100 yards in 9:3-5 seconds. Hubbard was three times a member of the American Olympic team. Phit Edwards "If ever a man was capable of breaking the existing world's record for the half mile," says Keane. "Edward championship. Philadelphia. in 1929, everything was ideal and set for that incident. It was a perfect day, an ideal day to show his big kick too early in the race. Running some twenty-five or thirty vards ahead of his nearest opponent Edward was beaten by three-fifths of a second. Another Edwards or a man like him will not be seen for sometime to come," says Keane. "Says Edward, an honor roll of Nedro track stars compiled" said the veteran mentor. "If they are of note they have placed themselves on the list of great and near-greats. Nedro has a fine reference and national titles under their names." At the National indoor track championships held at the Madison Square Garden, John Lewis of Detroit College graced the field. Both of these men were Olympic stars in the last games. Among the great all-around track athletes Keane named Charlie West, formerly of Washington and Jaffer University, Utterback, now of Pittsburgh University. Keane in his time as coach at Syracuse has trained a team and interleague timber, among whom were Trigg of football and crew fame, together with Browser and Burwell of track note. Considering the number in 'big time' competition, Negro athletes who are wearers of the spiked shoe have engaged in an epoch making era in track athletes', stated Coach Keane.

Charles Freeman was chosen as secretary while James Byrd will be treasurer. These men are by no means unfamiliar figures in the affairs of the Hildale Company, virtually being company and officials who held office over a long period of years and have been instrumental in establishing Hildale as Philadelphia's major colored club. Need Park The present dire .ors are determined that there be no laque in the operation of the Hildale Club and that the staff will start its twenty-first diamond campaign despite the fact that they have been inducted into office on the very eve of season's opening. The personnel will require some tall hustling to assemble within a little over a fortnight, but with the general condition following the collapse of the Americas, will require some tall hustling to land enough capable talent to plug up the gaps of the Daisies ensemble. However, ball hawks are not the only pressing need that harasses the own business. The home loan is an undetermined matter and the problem of a new lease is being sought post-haste. Then too Bolden and his colons exercised a bit of undue haste in attempting to wind up the affairs of the company. Before being assured by a meeting that the stockholders were in accord or a vote been polled, they were told that the company all of the paraphernalia and personal property from office furniture to water buckets have been parcelled off to the owners of Passon Field, 48th and Snurce St., where it rumors are growing. He holds forth. The officials contend the company will take legal steps to recover the property. Clisby is Carnera Victim LOS ANGELES.

Transfer from Squared Circle to Theatre Stage Temporary One Only LIKES TO DANCE Jealousy of Black Bill Given as Incentive By AL WHITE NEW YORK.—(ANP.)—More than one boxer has acted actor, when his usefulness in the squared circle has waned, but the effervescent Kid Chocolate is not waiting until cauliflower ears ears sprout on his head, and the proud strut of the cocky little chap is broken to a groggy heel walking through the courtesy of his manager, Lorenzo. An audience of fight and sport celebrities greeted him and applauded his dance steps. Behind all of which lies a story. Several years ago, a boxer of attraction in the sports world, "Black Bali," a Cuban, held forth as a fighter of ability in his class. But Bll strayed along the primrose path, and was not so successful in juggling field as his was otherwise. At this junction, Kid Chocolate appeared on the scene and promptly strangled to say, Chocolate and Bill were under the same manager, the aforementioned Mr. Guttlerze. The splendid work on Chocolate red was done by Bill, laid aside his gallvanging and put more time and thought on his fighting. Wants to Dance All the while, Chocolate was running up his score as well. But, Bill was as clever with his feet as he was as clever with his arms. He aroused the spark of jealousy in the Kid's heart, that the Kid's fighting aroused in his imitator's hearts. So the Kid slipped away and talked with his manager, asking permission to dance. He did just one week. The little batter went to work to improve his dancing, and pitched in with the same willingness to dance as he has exhibited in fighting. May Take It up Later What fun it was for him Monday night in the kind rang in his ears. The Kid says that he is not going to stick to the theatrical racket pust yet, but he is going to give it a whirl after he wins the world's championship in his class. He is going to stage and his only one, despite the many, many offers. Crisfield Giants Want Games CRISFIELD.

With economics, the staff figures on effecting a representative annual that should be produced within this sum." Joseph B. Somper, editor of the preconcern. "Wilberforce University's senior year book, says the first one; Prof. I. S. Lane, of the science department, says the latter." Unable to agree, they left it to the decision of Mrs. Sadie Overton Davis, wife of Col. B. O. Davis and an authority on English syntax; she says: "The second is the better of the two; it does not affect from its object by a comma. It gives 'should be produced' a subject. This the former does not do. By the use of 'that' in the second sentence, it further shows the definition of this last clause."

Shaw in Nation-Wide Roll- Call of Alumni RALEIGH, N.C.-In a united effort to raise $100,000 which is the alumni share of a total goal of $599,000, the university under the direction of the field secretary, William C. Craver, will conduct a nation-wide roll call. There will be simultaneous action throughout the United States by alumni who are represented by a special chairman. The object is to have every graduate and former student make a cash contribution, however large or small, to the university. Several alumni chapters in the East have already laid plans to this end. Among those clubs making the most pronounced effort are Philadelphia, Richmond, Baltimore, Elizabeth Washington and Greater New York. Hill U. of P. Speaker Leslie Pinckney Hill, principal of Cheyney Pa. Institute, spoke before the Schoolmens' Assembly at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, in part. "America faces a vast opportunity to set up for the world a compelling example of right inter-racial and international respect, fate, fail to give result, and power to the ideals of a Christian democracy, mankind will be committed to the horror of injustice, inequality, and civilization itself threatened with collapse. Everything upon the degree of success with which we teach children of children of nations are worthy, and all men equal." Lincoln Singers at Bennett The violin solo by Leon E. Dekalw was especially well applauded. Wilhelm H. Humber of the tenor solos in the chorus and especially delighted the audience by his rendition of "Water Boy."

Breach Widening Between White-Negro Teachers'Pay Maryland Counties Still Discriminating in Raises; $621 for Negroes; $1184 for Whites. The discrepancy between white and Negro salaries in Maryland is growing larger rather than smaller, the current report of the State Board of Education, shows. While the average yearly salary of white teachers in all the county schools of the State was $29 higher in 1938 than in 1928, that of the colored teachers was increased by only $19.

The ratio rate increase keeps up for a few years, and salaries of whites will triplicate those of Negro teachers. With Baltimore City, where the salaries for white and colored teachers are $1,040, the state average for whites included the state average for whites is $1433, while for colored it is $1077. Dorchester Lowest Dorchester County, where Negro teachers get an average of only $499 per year, pays them least of all Al- legacy, where the average is $1197, pays them the most. Baltimore County pays an average salary of $1175. The average pay of white and colo- nial elementary teachers in the counties is as follows. | County | White | Colored | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Allegany | $1282 | $1197 | | Baltimore | 1518 | 1175 | | Bethesda | 1288 | 575 | | Princeton | George | 704 | | Anne Arundel | 1192 | 615 | | Kent | 1170 | 718 | | Washington | 1155 | 787 | | Queen Annes | 1151 | 532 | | Tahbet | 1121 | 536 | | Lafayette | 1149 | 546 | | Wicoomia | 1114 | 562 | | Frederick | 1083 | 854 | | Sewickley | 1081 | 151 | | Howard | 1074 | 862 | | Warecester | 1077 | 516 | | Harford | 1071 | 620 | | Carroll | 1067 | 624 | | Carrol | 1064 | 604 | | Caroline | 1061 | 624 | | Derchester | 1061 | 498 | | Chichester | 1028 | 528 | | St. Marys | 991 | 516 | High School Average $879 The average salary for the teachers in the county high schools is $879 in Allegray and Washington counties respectively, to $659 in Somerset county. The following counties: Somerset Dauphin, Carolina, Worcester and Kent, pay an average of less than $800 to their high school teachers of color. In Allegray, Washington, Ann Arbor, and counties in the state exceed $800. 86 Per Cent Qualified At the beginning of this year's term, 631 elementary teachers or 66.7 per cent, had a normal school education, while 366 teachers filled the summer school requirements. This is a 5.3 per cent improvement over the preceding year and the school held regular first grade certificates. Teachers holding second grade certificates decreased by 31. leaving 23 teachers with first grade ratings, only one having provisional rating.

Frederick county dropped from the highest percentage in 1928 to the lowest in 1929. In eleven counties more than one-third of the entire colored teaching staff attended one-fifth of the entire staff took summer training.

During the present term the average number of years of experience for teachers in each county teen year higher than last year. There were 23 less changes in the county teaching staff this year than in the preceding year.

Your position on the staff depends upon your winning more money. The alumni hire professional players to insure winners. The students do the school work of the football men in the fall so the men can give you what you need. The jobs and occupations are required by the administration to pass the men so they can remain on the team." Frat System "The fraternity system" said Rev Baker. "The fraternity system and dividing the chool into social strata. Much of the social life revolves around the fraternities and sororities. The girls and boys that are good students are involved in the social life all the time. Others with less money and less good looks are almost altogether. In the one case we develop a feeling of superiority and in the other inferiority. Many social groups and organizations send dollars. Time is taken from studies and the serious pursuit of life problems. Then too, the immorality and drinking often associated with the fraternities unifies the business."

Black Draught THIRTY SCHOOLS ON SLATER FUND PAY ROLL Contributes to Salaries of Many Negro College Teachers TOTAL $42,075 Hampton, Lincoln, Tuskegee Not Included The Slater Fund, according to its 1929 report just issued, is paying in part the salaries of 30 college professors of English or science. John F. Slater, white philanthropist, gave a million dollars in 1882, the income from which has been used largely for paying salaries of teachers in schools which train young colored students in parallels and for the profession of teaching. The gift was half in cash and half in investments. Last year, the Slater Fund, according to the report, expended $150,000 for salaries of special teachers in county training schools and rural high schools, $43,000 for college prosecutions, and $2,718 for miscellaneous items. Five Years Ago Five years ago, the fund paid salaries in on 9 and sixteen colleges and the amount totalled $15,800. The table below shows that the number of colleges assisted has nearly trebled in five years,uskegan College, Indiana, Lincoln are bufferforce, Virginia Union; not on the Slater Fund payroll. They may have applied. Such well known colleges as Howard, Atlanta, Shaw, Livingstone, Clark, and Morehoreau. Dr. Mordecali Johnson president of Howard University, is among those who praised the work of the fund which only received the highest salaries. It has been the aim of Dr. J. H. Dillard, the president of the fund trustees, he said, to help colleges pay the salary of at least one good teacher. The annual statement in the report is as follows: "In 1928-29 the Slater Fund paid, or assisted in paying, the salary of a professor in the English or Science department of the College of the University. The professors to whose salaries the contributions have been made are graduates of, or have attended, Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Columbia, North Carolina, Virginia, Illinois, Howard, or some other well-known institution."

Pearson Says Young Men Want to be Presidents First PEARSON IS DEAN Now Interested in Companies With Five Millions' Assets DURHAM, N.C.

"Young men may be found with technical business training, but, most usually, they want to immediately take over the president's job and salary, or they lack in moral fitness for positions of trust and responsibility, and untrained men are unwilling to start at the bottom and acquire the skills which results from experience, which has been the mark of countless thousands of successful white business executives.

Ghandi's Pilgrimage Fifty years from now many persons may consider it a distinction to have lived in the days when Mahatma Gandhi, clad only in a jion cloth, visited the sea, averaging 10 miles a day. Once there he will break the British law by taking a little sea water into a vessel and publicly evaporating it to recover a pinch of salt. India must buy its salt from the motherland instead of mining it out of its own hill. But that's another story. The main story is that Gandhi, a pagan, according to all Christian tradition, Christian than the British, for he has obeyed literally the Biblical injunction to, "sell all thou hast and give it to the roof." In his youth he had built up a lion's cage in India. This he abandoned and devoted all that he had, except the few pieces of cloth that he wears, to the needy of his own country. During the Beer War he organized a pro-British made pro-British speeches during the World War, winning several medals. Englishmen, in their fine homes fine clothes, with their accustomed servants, know that in this respect, Ghani is more of a Christian than they. Bishop Cornelius T. Shaffer Bs. L.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, April 12, 1930 THE CHURCHMAN The Faultless Christ By DR, A. G. BOARER Pilate said unto them, "Take ye him and crucify him; for I find no fault in him."—John 12:6. This was one of the saddest hours in life of Jesus Christ. He is accused by the unrighteous Jewish oligarchy; and at them the governor hurts this challenge, "Take ye him and crucify him; for I find no fault in him." 1. No Fault in His Teachings—"Never a man spake like this man," and "He taught me," and "thority the scribes, concerning startling testimony from His enemies. The 'Golden Rule,' 'Christ's formula for social righteousness,' excels all that has ever been written on social principles." Life—The redemption of the world was pendant on the life of Christ as well as on His death, because a faulty heart would have killed him to die for the world. 2. Faultless Death—No death ever meant so much to the world as the death of Jesus. He died, which they considered dearer than life; but Jesus died and redeemed the world that hated, rejected, and crucified Him. The time must come when will come when the justice of Pilate's verdict, "I find no fault in the man!" N.C.

Chicago Churches Favor DePriest-Simmons The churches in Chicago split into factions along the same lines as the politicians in the Congressional Primary, Tuesday. Thus, the Republican National Baptist Convention, has one set of followers and Dr. J. C. Austin, alleged enemy of Williams in church affairs, has another. The two men find themselves on opposing sides in all questions except man's celestial salvation. In the present campaign, Dr. Austin is pumping and preaching for DePriest. So are the other men aligned. But Dr. Williams lupes upon the Lord's children who follow him to give their votes to Roscoe Simmons, and Olive Church, the largest from the standpoint of membership. But Dr. Williams center of activity for the sorrell-topped and brilliant debater, Simmons. S. S. Lesson SUNDAY, APRIL THE CHILD AND THE KINGDOM.

BAPTIST MINISTERS GET PROGRAM MIXED Washington Body Retracts Program Suggestion Made Through President L. K. WILLIAMS TO SPEAK The Rev. A. J. Greene Will Represent Balto. Ministers The Rev. Albert J. Greene, pastor of the Grace Memorial Baptist Church, was elected essayist for the joint meeting of the Baltimore and W-shington Baptist Ministers' Conference following much debating on the part of the Baltimore conference as to whether or not to elect an essayist, and after much declining on the part of several offered the post, at the weekly meeting, Monday. Dr. L. K. Williams, president of the National Baptist Convention, incorporated, is scheduled to be present at this joint session, at which time it is supposed he will address the two bodies. The holding of joint sessions is a semi-annual affair of the Washington and Baltimore ministerial organizations. At this session to be held April 28, the Washington body will entertain the Baltimoreans at the Pacific Anne Baptist Church in Washington. Change Program The Rev. A. R. Budler had been scheduled to speak at this meeting but upon learning that the national president would be present at that time and upon the suggestion of officeholder Rev. Mr. Budler declined in order that the Rev. Mr. Williams might be the order of the day. Change Unofficial The Budler organization was however was later notified through the secretary of the Washington organization the asking of the Baltimore speaker to relinquish his post as speaker was not by order of the conference, and the Baltimore conference was asked to pressure the program as first suggested. Whether to elect any speaker or not was the basis for much discussion on the program and the local conference. Some expressing the opinion that the shunting about of the program did not reflect the proper courtesy towards the local conference. The Rev. Budler was then asked to place the place as speaker but declined. "I feel reluctant to accept such an appointment." said the Rev. E. W. White, pastor of the P哄idence Baptist Church, who was next nominated by the program committee to be the speaker. "From the tenor of the letter (referring to the notification that the change of schedule was unofficial), there must be some division on the matter. This, I fear, would create an atmosphere which would be hard for a speaker," said the Rev. Mr. White. He also refused to serve. Dr. Greene asked the Rev. Mr. Greene was next name. His appointment was objected to by the Rev. Junius Gray, pastor of the Psalmist Baptist Church, on the ground that he would have capacity several times before. The Rev. Greene said that he would preach a sermon but would not have the time to prepare an essay. Upon the instruction of the W. W. Allen, the program committee, to bring in a name and "let him preach, speak whistle or anything he chooses to do," the Rev. Mr. Greene was selected.
