Parker of North Carolina to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States was postponed Monday for a week by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Meanwhile, it is hoped by administration leaders that the opposition may be abated. The delay will afford the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People an opportunity to arouse its members throughout the country, particularly in states where Senatorial elections will be held this year, and by the end of the week an announcement of Parker's confirmation of Parker is expected at the offices of Senators from Northern and Middle Western states. The sub-committee which has been considering the nomination of Judge Parker reported it favorably Monday morning to the Judiciary Committee. The vote on a favorable report was 2 to 1. Senator Lee S. Overman, Democrat, of North Carolina, and Senator Felix Hebert, Republican, of North Carolina, Senator William E. Bornhall, Republican, of Idaho, voted against him.

Weimar Plans Ban. on Negro Singers, Dancers, Actors PADLOCK USED Black-White Marriages to be Prohibited WEIMAR, Germany. — If jazz ever gets into this city, it will do so without the knowledge of the police. Johaan Pricke, minister of education at Flintshire, issued instructions at police to revoke the licenses of all cabarets, beer gardens and dance halls where Negro entertainment including jazz are presented. He gave as his reason that jazz threatens to undermine the national morality and artist sense, and the only way to maintain and strengthen the German national character is to suppress any signs of decay as stringently as possible, which includes such jazz organizations as Noble Sissle's band, may also extend to Paul Robeson, concert artist with repertoire of spirituals. Thuringia, says Dr. Fricke, welcomes socialism but not Negrokultur. Weimar, a ducal court, in the last century was the center of German classical learning and for a time the home of Goethe, Germany's greatest poet. Interrace Marriages May be Banned by Law (AFRO Paris Bureau) BERLIN-Marriage or other form of race-mixing of Negroes and Jews with Germans will be prohibited if a bill introduced by the Reichstag要求德国立法. The sponsors of the bill are the Nationalist-Socialist party, headed by Dr. Hiller, and the Nationalist party, headed by Niedergenberg. The bill (Article 4). "Whoever undertakes to hurt the natural fecundity of the German people by artificial method or who contends in the least degree to the breaking up of the German race by a mixture of Jew, Negro, or other people of color, will be imprisoned for the crime and be sent to a bill, it is believed, is aimed chiefly at the Jews, as the number of Negroes and other colored people in Germany, is small and the two in ten Negroes, nearly all former colonies, while Hamburg has a floating population of several hundreds, nearly all sailors. Negroes are rare sights in other parts of Germany." No color line in Germany, and the majority of Negroes are musicians or movie actors. The colored women in Germany, are nearly all of them, born there, black fathers of the past. During the last war, several Negroes served in the German army and navy in many ranks and in many wars, ex-Karl Marx and several favorites, one of them being Sabae-el-Cher, who was bandmaster of his favorite regiment, while an American Negro-Karl Wilson—one bandmaster at Grenadier Kantner, at Königsberg. It is hardly believed that the bill will become a anti-Jewish college clause. AFRO VISITORS Mrs. Trene Henry, Cambridge, Md. Alonzo Myster, Cambridge, Md. Charles Richardson, City.

G. W. Becton portrayed well, the famous role of the late "Elder Eatmore" when he requested just nine friends to come up to the altar voluntarily and turn loose at least a dollar piece as he was badly in need of a pair of shoes which would cost him around $9. He said he would rush right down town on the following morning and get them.

Sunday afternoon after delivering his speech on "Who and When to Marry," and "What Is This Thing Called Love?" he said. "How many of you all love me divinely? raise your right hands and say almost the church was packed and almost the other person asked, "Amen" and raised Becton. Becton then requested those who said they loved him, to walk up to the altar and place a dollar in the hand of Dr. F. A. Cullen, who wound up with a couple of good fists full of greenbacks, at the close of the services. "Ts Regested, Check and Double Check," made famous by Amo. In Andy, are gradually fading out of the picture as Elder Becton says, "Now, ain't that thing sticky?" and "Ain't that thing sweet?" All of New York, those with and without religion are talking about that thing being sticky. One night last week, after hearing the Evangelist get off, as it were, a musician remarked that a bird thing sticky" sounds and snappy thing sticky" sounds and bad title for a blues song since worse ones have been and are still being used. Speaking of musicians, Evangelist Becton's Gospel Feast Orchestra certainly does turn it on especially when playing a hymn, namely, "Joy to the Lord." Joey Rhythm to it. The pianist whips his piano right on down to "The St James Infirmary." the violinist gets off "most much" while the saxophonist and cornetist blow on "out of this world." Rev. Mr. Becton calls that having a high-class good time "With the Lord," and says "HeyHey!" admirers showed the evangelist with gifts on his 40th birthday. Tuesday.

NEVAL H. THOMAS WASHINGTON, D. C.—Neval H. Thomas, 56, one of the original 12 persons who founded the Washington Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Dunbar High School, died at the home of his sister, Mrs. D. A. Williston, 1122 Fairmont Street, N.W. Sunday, after an illness of more than a year. Thomas was unanimously elected president of the Washington branch of the N.A.A.C.P., to succeed the late Archibald H. Grace, in 1925, the president of a member of the national board of directors. He was an unrelenting champion of race equality, and, although a publisher, was a strong advocate to attack or condemn inequalities in school appropriations by Congress or jim crow conditions in the government departments. He appeared in court as a strong press and of the cabinet to push matters of import to Negroes. His militant campaigning proved too much for his slender constitution. In April, he was injured in his health, spending some time in France, Italy and Switzerland. He returned to this country in December, improved, and later went to Hot Springs, Arkansas. He was paralyzed when he returned home from the war. Two years ago Mr. Thomas urged the National N.A.A.C.P. directors to stage a more determined fight against segregation in federal departments instead of allowing it to continue. He also urged the formation of a strong local branch in Harlem. Born in Springfield, Ohio, January 6, 1874, he was educated in the public schools there and at Howard University where he was a graduate of B.A. in 1904. He was elected a teacher in Washington public schools in 1902. Mr. Thomas was a bachelor. Funeral services were held at 4 o'clock Tuesday in the Rankin Memorial Chapel of the University of Arkansas.

The effort of the McCrary Five and Ten Cents Store Corporation, white, to prevent the premises adjoining their Seventh and I Street store from being sub-let to any business or trade wherein the sales force employed race, failed miserably in court Monday, when Judge Wheaton refused to grant such an injunction, which would enjoin the Mercantile Trading Company from operating "The Fair," assembleed by the firm. As a result the newly organized store held its opening on Tuesday, attracting thousands of visitors and purchasers from both racial groups. Promptly at nine o'clock the doors swing open and bought 71, including assistants in the several departments. A steady stream of customers passed in and out of the store and bought freely of the merchandise on sale. The store was occupied by whom persons, who were attracted by curiosity, but became purchasers. The temporary injunction which was issued by Judge Wheaton does not restrict the use of colored clerks as a means of enforcement. It confines the business to be carried on by the Mercantile Trad'g Company to that type of business, which has been carried on by the Surprise Hospital, but does not possess for more than two years. In other words, the present store, which is in reality a dry goods store, must remain a dry goods store, and cannot become a general merchandise store.

Every seventh marriage in the United States ends in a divorce court. Getting married is a difficult and frilled. There are so many stories of emotional divorces that the AFRO determined to pay some attention to marriages which have succeeded. By F. H. M. MURRAY With others I am asked, "To what do you attribute your success in married life?" Well, in being asked such a question, I feel like the Pullman porter who was asked by a passenger whether he, the porter, would kindly change a hundred dollar bill. The porter smilingly replied that, while he was not able to give the change, yet he highly appreciated the compliment. Wife Never Threatened to Quit What is success? What measure of success have we—we my wife and I—attained? Our bank balance could always be expressed in five figures, or less—including the cents; our car has always been a Ford; we did not succeed in marrying our daughters to rich men; our youngest is yet a struggling young lawyer; yet, we have lived together for over thirty years without her going—or threatening to go—back to her mother; without ever disagreeing to the extent of attracting the attention of neighbors. So I suppose within the limits of the meaning of the question, our married life has been a success, and 'r' we may claim that it has been, no doubt several factors, known and unknown, have contributed to make it so, including, most probably, a kind Providence good luck or fate, as you choose. No Consuming Personal Ambition However, thinking the matter over, in seeking for one dominant factor: I am led to believe that what has contributed most to our mutually ifactory relations and that the fact personal ambition, social or financial, nor any of the many subsidiary yearnings that tend to make a man and wife not one, but twain. There has been no "bossing" in our home. Neither have the ambitions I do not recall calling for it. I do not recall an instance where I wanted to set anything or do anything so badly that I could not, and did not. pass it by if my wife seemed averse to it; or do not I recall that she ever appeared to be instilently averse in thinking that my heart seemed set, rom. A. Generous Disposition But these factors, important though they may be, would not have availed had not my wife be usually considerate and generous disposition, as evidenced by the fact that the five orphaned little children by a former wife have been by her without the slightest friction between "mother" and children or between the first set and the second. We have done the most to make our thirty years, it may be said, happy and contented; though we have had our share of sickness, death and troubles, not always of our own making.

Langston Bar Association of Philadelphia has a public meeting in Temple, Temple University, in commemoration of the late John M. Langston, dean of Negro lawyers, and the first dean of Howard University Low School. The principal speaker for the occasion is the Howard vice-dan, Charles H. Houston. During the years 27 and 28, according to the program introduced this speaker, Mr. Houston, did an extensive bit of studying of lawyers, and therefore, had opportunities of the Negro law, and his responsibilities to his community. During other things in his introductory remarks, Mr. Houston said that since the war there has been a marked absence of lawyers, and Garvey as being in first to preach the doctrine of the "digity of being black." Hon. John M. Langston, whose life's work for his own race, had gone back to the dyes. The program consisted of musical selections by the Municipal Jubilee choir, W. Hortex the director of the Direct Ethel Anderson and Lella Carter, with Miss Louise Robinson, accompanist; a soprano solo, with Miss Bea "America, the Beautiful," was sung by the assembly; and there were organ solos by Van S.

The Most Virulent Germ Escaped Dr. Welch The Most Virulent Germ Escaped Dr. Welch Dr. William Henry Welch, white, honored at 80 last week for his service as one of the founder of John Hopkins Medical School and also as the "father" of modern medicine as we know it, became famous during the war for the discovery of the Welch bacillus — the gas producing organism causing gas gangrene, which attacked a wounded soldier. The story is told of the Johns Hopkins University trustees canvassing Germany in 1883 for a teacher of the then new pathological theory, that disease is caused by germs or mi- Dr. William Henry Welch, white, honored at 80 last week for his services as one of the founder of Johns Hopkins Medical School and also as the "father" of modern medicine as we know it, became famous during the war for the discovery of the Welch bacillus — the gas producing organism causing gas gangrene, which attached a wounded soldier. The story is told of the Johns Hopkins University trustees invasuring Germany in 1883 looking for a teacher of the then new pathological disease, that disease is caused by germs or microbes. "Go get Welch." Hopkins trustees were told. "We have no one bigger." And so Dr. Welch, who had studied under Koch, discoverer of the germ causing tuberculosis and also the germs causing anthrax and cholera; Pasteur, maker of many vaccines; and Ehrlich, discoverer of the salvarsan treatment for syphilis, came to Baltimore's Johns Hopkins Medical School. And so Dr. Welch, who had studied under Koch, discoverer of the germ causing tuberculosis and also the germs causing anthrax and cholera; Pasteur, maker of many vaccines; and Ehrlich, discoverer of the salvarsan treatment for syphilis, came to Baltimore's Johns Hopkins Medical School. With this background, it is not strange that out of Dr. Welch's laboratories have come physicians like Dr. Dr. Reed, who risked his life in demonizing that yellow fever is due to a germ caused by mosquitoes; Dr Joseph C. Bloodgood, Dr William S. Thayer, and Dr Llewellyn Baker — names known in medical circles around the world. Strange it is however, that with all the experience and experiments of Dr. Welch and his world-famous pupils with germs, none of them has discovered the microbe of race prejudice, and this is the most unusual, because there are also these germs at Hopkins that are other similar university in the country. To be sure, other Negro-hating medical schools exist in the South, but they haven't the wealth nor the intelligence of Hopkins. But they haven't the wealth nor the intelligence of Hopkins. This school will not be Hopkins, although it is located at the Mr. Champa backroom. The presence of the anti-Negro germs at Hopkins, which kept him from attending the college in his home town, will see to it that he betakes himself to Boston or New York or Chicago. For this, Dr Welch must, of course share the blame, because in his fifty years of germ seeking, he hasn't discovered this most malevolent microbe of race prejudice which keeps millions of white people in America half sick all the time, and dwarfs the souls and minds of the entire white South as the hookworm dwarfs. In this light, Dr Welch, who was a famed physician using the microbe to find bugs too small to be seen with the naked eye, while all around him Negro pathogenic bacteria increased, multiplied and carried their poison into every part of the city from his laboratory as a center. To Baltimore, Johns Hopkins University and Hospital, have been a model. Give Dr. Welch credit for the building of the medical school and he must likewise assume the responsibility for the race prejudice and lack of toleration there. At eight, his work is about done. He'll put his test tubes and beakers away, and devote himself to something like bugs and crumps; and in might, of the biggest and worst bug carried on for a half century under his nose without his ever noticing its presence. With this background, it is not strange that out of Dr. Welch's laboratories have come physicians like Dr. Walter Reed, who risked his life in demonstrating that yellow fever is due to a germ carried by mosquitoes; Dr. Joseph C. Bloodgood, Dr. William S. Thayer, and Dr. Llewellyn Barker — names known in medical circles around the world. Strange it is however, that with all the experience and experiments of Dr. Welch and his world-famous pupils with germs, none of them has discovered microbes of race prejudice, and this the more unusual, because there are more of these germs at Hopkins than at any other similar university in the country. To be sure, other Negro-hating medical schools exist in the South, but they haven't the wealth nor the intelligence of Hopkins. Mr. Joseph Clarence Chambers graduated with honors from Douglass High School several years ago. A few months ago Amherst (Mass.) College gave him a Phi Beta key, and last Saturday, recognizing still further as one of the outstanding students of his class, granted him a fellowship to continue his study of medicine in school. This school will not be Hopkins, although it is located at Mr. Chamberbs's backdoor. The presence of the anti-Negro germs at Hopkins, which kept him from attending the college in his home town, will see to it that he betakes himself to Boston or New York or Chicago. For this, Welch must, of course share the blame, because in his fifty years of germ seeking, he hasn't discovered this most malevolent microbe of race prejudice which keeps millions of white people in America half sick all the time, and dwarfs the souls and minds of white South as the hookworm drips their bodies. In this light, Dr. Welch aspires as great, isn't so wonderful afterward. Here was a famed physician using a microscope to find bugs too small to be seen with the naked eye, while all around him and Negro pathogenic bacteria increased, multiplied and carried their poison into every part of the city from his laboratory as a center. To Ballimore, Johns Hopkins University and Hospital, have been a model. Give Dr. Welch credit for the building of the medical school and he must likewise assume the responsibility for the race prejudice and lack of toleration there. At eight, his work is about done. He'll soon put his test tubes and beakers away, and devote himself to something else besides bugs and serums; and well he might, offt the biggest and worst bug carried on for a half century under his nose without his ever noticing its presence. One Drop, Again Virginia's new law declaring every person with one drop of Negro blood a Negro isn't new all. It represents the principle of race classification current over the whole United States. To be sure, this policy differs from the race classification methods pursued abroad, where light brown colored mixed-bloods are termed white, and the dark mixed-bloods, colored black. This accounts for New York is having with 400 Porto Rican emigrants, most of whom have regarded themselves as "white" all the lives only to find out that they are "colored" in New York. Similarly Virgin Islanders are complaining to Washington that census enumerators there are instructed to list as Negroes all persons having a discernable percentage of colored blood. Since ninety-five per cent of all the islanders are of Negro or Negro-white origin, and thousands have never considered themselves colored, Sole Sam has been up to bitterness and hatred where none existed heretofore. Thoroughly disgusted long ago with our country's racial policy, and likewise convinced of the absurdity of the one-drop theory, the APRO-AMERICAN has no sympathy with Uncle Sam in his present difficulties. We know, and we have pointed out, that the headache given him by Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands is given a slight attack of the vertige the race question will give him before it is through with him.

To be sure, this portico is not the first place pursued abroad; where light brown mixed-bloods are termed white, and the dark mixed-bloods, colored. This accounts for the difficulties New York is having with 150,000 Porto Rican emigrants, most of whom have regarded themselves as "white" all their lives only to find out that they are "colored" in New York. Similarly Virgin Islanders are complaining to Washington that census documentors there are instructed to process all persons having a disfigured percentage of colored blood. Since ninety-five per cent of all the islanders are of Negro or Negro-white origin, and thousands have never considered themselves colored, Uncle Sam has stirred up bitterness and hatred where none existed heretofore. Thoroughly disgusted long ago with our country's racial policy, and convinced of the necessity of a one-drop theory, the AFROMERICAN has no sympathy with Uncle Sam in his present difficulties. We know, and we have pointed out, that the headache given him by Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands is but a slight attack of the vertigo which will give him before it is through with him. 100 Per Cent Senator Tom Heflin (Dem, Ala.) had a sketch of his life from a Ku Klux magazine reprinted in the Congressional Record last week. The sketch recites that Tom: 1. When a boy of 14, beat up the school bully; 2. Knocked cold with a rail a female colored cook who had slapped his younger sister. 3. Attended Negro campmettings in order to mimic sermons he heard; 4. At 17 could chop as much cotton as a grown man; 5. Was the first of his section to use a steer to a plow: 6. Voluntarily gave up his bed for, an old Confederate soldier. 7. Always gave food and shelter to the needy. Of such an idyllic, virile youth, no one toda should find fault. It appropriately ends with description of his mother reading the Bible an praying with her children. Such a document ought to persuade 100 percent white Alabamians that Tom should be re Of such an idyllic, virile youth, no one today should find fault. It appropriately ends with a description of his mother reading the Bible and praying with her children. Such a document ought to persuade 100 per cent white Alabamans that Tom should be re- turned to the U.S. Senate even though he supported Hoover in the last campaign. The AFRO can find but one serious omission in the whole document. Tom forget to add that he, also, never told a lie. We ought to have that assurance—from Tom himself. Kicking Judge Parker Upstairs When Judge James J. Parker, of North Carolina, campaigning for governor on the Republican ticket in 1920 declared that "the Negro has not yet earned the place where he can share the burdens and responsibilities of government," he little dreamed that the phrase would come back to plague him after ten years. This is exactly what has happened; and because of the fact that Negroes in Maryland, Kansas, Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky DO share in the "responsibility of government" by means of the ballot, their representatives in the Senate have been importted to vote against the confirmation of Parker for the post of Associate Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court. Friends of Judge Parker circulated a defense in the Senate last week asserting that his original statement was made in the "head of the campaign"; that Democrats had charged him with a plan of organizing Negroes of whom only 10,000 out of 500,000 eligible in the state are registered; and that nothing in the Greenborson speech "propagated enemy the colored people any rights" under the law or to discriminate against in any way.

Friends of Judge Parker circulated a defense in the Senate last week asserting that his original statement was made in the "heat of the campaign"; that Democrats had charged him with a plan of negroization of Negroes of whom only 10,000 out of 40,000 eligible in the state are registered; and that nothing in the Greenbrowspersons "proposed to deny the colored people any rights under the law or to discriminate against them in any way." In other words, Judge Porker stands today where he stood in 1920. He does not feel that he flouted the U.S. Constitution in a program designed to keep Negroes away from the polls. There isn't in North Carolina's Parker, the intelligence and candor of ex-Senator William Cabell Bruce, of Maryland, who, in his campaign for office several years ago was reminded of his opposition to Negro suffrage in his earlier days. Mr. Bruce admitted his earlier views, but added in effect, "You don't give me credit for changing my mind." In Maryland, Senator Goldsborough (Rep.) admits that he endorsed Judge Parker, but before he knew of his anti-Negro views. Support of Judge Parker by other Marylanders is predicated upon the fact that by kicking Judge Parker upstairs to the Supreme Court, room will be made in the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for Baltimore's Federal Judge Morris Soper, and of course that will tail a vacancy in the U.S. District Court, to which some Baltimore lawyer may be appointed. As for Judge Soper's, the AFRO-MERCAN also wishes to see him promoted. It is not willing, however, for this promotion to be made at the expense of placing in the Supreme Court a man of the type of Judge Parker, who, having made a mistake ten years ago, hasn't learned any better since.

To the Editor: In response to "A Reader's" question, relative to "Respect your women and others will do likewise": First I want to thank them for their unfriendly criticism. I know, and other sensible people will agree with me that there is no law evolved from etiquette or respect that would reflect upon a man who adores his wife, whether public or not. I feel it is better to adore them with a kiss, if need be, than to insult them in public, or to irritate their minds, and harass their souls by getting drunk, gamble and spending all your money on other women.

He said: "The American Negro is getting restless and resentful, and that the more educated the Negro becomes the more pronounced will be his restlessness and resentfulness." It was because the Russian Church allied itself with the ruling monarchy in keeping the peasantry under control, and because it caused the late revolution as it is also the cause of the present wave of atheism in that country. The same thing will happen in this country if capitalistic exploiters continue to refuse a decent offer. Why? Because violence is the only weapon which the illiterate masses know. The only weapon which is made universal as well as compulsory, the Negro in America will acquire the initiative that he now lacks and will subsequently become a part of America's military. *U.S.A. 1924* *Gilbert S.

It is Almost Inconceivable that the Great State of Virginia Should Be So Conservative. Curt Oldman's Young People Pull Her Out of the Mud?

Do the parents whose children are attending school in the Negro schools want Negro principals? Why is Virginia lagging behind other Southern states in this respect? What is the psychological effect of a white principal in a Negro school upon the mind of the pupils? Does not matter a rap to the average student in the Negro schools, but the more intelligent, the consensus of opinion seems to be that there is no Negro available who is qualified to hold these positions. Last, but not the majority of the Negro students in the school of Negro principals. This probably accounts for the fact that fully 80 per cent of the Negroes of this state doubt the good of anything or the authenticity of any statement unless it has the white man's stamp of approval. Regardless of the attitude of the instructors, the campaign will soon be on in earnest for Negro principals. JOSEPHUS SIMPSON, Richmond, Va.

I was surprised to note that they are all in agreement upon the Haitian Commission which was appointed by President Hoover; namely, that the commission wrote the recommendation for its quick work and for its recommendation.

Do the parents whose children are attending school in the city want Negro principals? Do the instructors in the Negro schools here want Negro principals? Why is Virginia lagging behind other Southern states in this respect? What is the psychological effect of a principal in the Negro schools on the pupils? In the writer's opinion, which is based on the impressions made upon his mind by interviews, and numerous discussions on the subject with the pupils, it does not matter a cap to the average Negro parent who or what is principal. Among the more intelligent, the consensus of opinion seems to be that there is no Negro available in the schools. It does not least, the majority of the Negro instructors in the schools do not want Negro principals. This probably accounts for the fact that fully 60 percent of Negro students could the doubt the quality of anything or the authenticity of any statement unless it has the white man's stamp of approval upon it. Regardless of the attitude of the instructors, they will soon be on in earnest for Negro principals. JOSEPHUS SIMPSON, Richmond, Va. Haitian Investigation by Commission was Done too rapidly to be Well Done. I spent three days in Washington where I interviewed fifteen Republican Senators and five Democratic Senators in person, and I interviewed three of them. All three were publicists. I was surprised to note that they are all in agreement upon the Haitian Commission which was appointed by President Hoover; namely, that the commission wrote the recommendation and presented the same to the President and he approved them before leaving Washington. To me, it is puerile and infantile to notice how every paper that has come under my observation has been written for the mission for its quick work and for its recommendation. To me, this is a pusillanimous act. It shows that the editors of these papers are not conversant with history, and that they are pseudo- and quasi-students of the conditions in Haiti. I went to see ten Congressmen who were out and ten Senators who were out, and after chatting with them for a few minutes, in every single instance the secretaries assured me that the report was accepted before the commission left, as it had been drawn up and submitted to the President for his approval. I was surprised that the President asked the commission to investigate how and when. to get out of Haiti. The commission does not tell anything about these two questions. L. F. COLES, Philadelphia. The Week's Poem I LONGED TO SEE THE CHRIST I longed to see the Christ and, lo, I saw the dawning sun: It scared me and fogs and gave its light to every one. I looked and saw the world that Christ had filled with beauty rare And as looked, I felt, indeed, that Christ was everlasting. I longed to see the Christ and saw a friend extend a hand— The hand of Christ?—ah, yes, it satisfied my heart's demand. I saw a smile but, in that smile, I saw a smile. The Christ had smiled upon me through that one a friend of mine. I longed to see the healing Christ and saw the sick arise: The voice of truth expressed had shorn disease its disgrace. And, then, I learned the truth profound: If we of Christ would learn, Him we must recognize in all, and for Him we must yearn. —Author Unknown. I LONGED TO SEE THE CHRIST I longed to see the Christ and, lo, I saw the dawning sun: It soaked in waters and fogs and gave its light to every one.

I longed to see the Christ and saw a friend extend a hand— The hand of Christ?—ah, yes, it satisfied my heart's demand.

Our old friend, Professor Gordon Hancock, in his column in the Norfolk Journal and Guide, has been for some time disturbed at what some newspapers are printing in their columns. Especially do stories dealing with love affair between the race gail him and the declared recently such stories as interracial marriages should not go into Negro journals. Mr. Hancock, who is also a man of the cloth, would perhaps be expected to know the contents of the most widely circulated volume of news stories published in the last 2000 years. Yet, concerning that masterpiece of philosophy, human welfare and religious guidance, we venture the teaching research that all his ecclesiastical research has not yet brought him to a practical reading of the volume. We refer, of course, to the Holy Bible. The more we think of it the more we wonder what some of our modern divines would have made of that Book if it had been their privilege to edit it. You get an idea, however, of what our good friend, Hancock would have done. First, he would have deleted that most human of all stories—Christ telling to the Samaritan woman, Jacob's well. He was a Jew and she was a Samaritan, and JEWS ANE SAMARITANS HAD NO DEALINGS. So would the blue penilike have gone scratching across the story of the lustful love of King Solomon and the black Queen of Sheba, as well as the love affair of Abraham and his brown-skinned servant, Hagar, and of Moses and his Ethiopian wife. He would have deleted the account of that sprightly flapper, Salome, who, as the tool of a voluptuous mother, danced a king into murdering John the Baptist. For scandal, these and many others set precedents which make most modern stories look like denatured Sunday School literature. If Prof. Hancock has delved very far into his hobby, social economics, he must be aware of the one central fact of our modern world—the constant merging of racial groups. Hancock has well been called the melting pot, and the most evident biological fact existent in America has been that the Negro has been included in this process of melting. Mr. Hancock, himself, could not deny that fact. Shall we, when this melting process is completed, the slime of racial degradation and commences to set itself on a pinnacle of lawful wedlock, suppress the facts? The modern newspaper must present a true picture of the day's happenings. There is far greater danger in suppression of facts than in printing them. We, wonder, for instance, how far our good friend women have been penned in and multiplied in striking in and the devil? We wonder further, has he tabooed some of the Holy Writ? Parent-Teacher Associations Recently, under the supervision of Principal H. Roberts of School 128, the parent-teacher association of that school made a donation of Negro businesses in their district, recommending to the parents that they trade more generally with these establishments. What they plan, according to the president of the association, is to spend more time studying how to make opportunities for their children. Here is the kind of work that a parent-teacher association may do that will work out to the practical good of their sons and daughters. The only caution that may be given is that the leaders of the movement cannot hope to make the rank and file carry out the plan unless they, themselves, point the way. It will be interesting, therefore, to note where individual parents and teachers, leading the movement, will buy their next hats their pounds of sugar, or have their cleanings done. Here will be the acid test as to whether the movement is to become genuine. Taking the Heart Out of Religion Over at St. John's Church, Baltimore, last Sunday, six mourners formed the audience which attended the last rites of Mrs. Charles Bailey, wife of the pastor of a little A.M.E. church at Chestnut Hill. Death seems a lonemese procedure at best, but when the wife of a pastor, herself once prominent in mission work, is laid to rest with but six Christians present besides the officiating ministers, it is either a sign of a heartless or a busy Christian world. One resolution SENT by a local chapter of the Mite Missionary Board and an expression of conolence, SENT by the bishop, the pastor of the wife of this struggling pastor of a poverty-church church. Some years ago, according to the history read at the funeral, Mrs. Bailey was an active worker in the Baltimore Conference. The husband was transferred to the Virginia Conference, but later came back to find that the only appointment available for him was the little charge at Chestnut Hill. It was hinted that the hardships their married wife wished to the grave. Here was a sacrifice which should have brought forward the plaudits of the multitude, but religious Baltimore was too busy to pause for such an event. No doubt had she been the wife of a pastor of a prosperous charge, the multitude would have been there. But such is life, and such is the way of human beings—Christian human beings, included.

Modern Folk Have Short Memory for Their Heroes Modern Folk Have Short Memory for Their Heroes We Forget Coolidge for Hoover, and Tomorrow We will Forget Hoover. Garrison, Phillips, Sumner, Cravath, Ware, Howard, Armstrong, are Long Out of Mind. BY KELLY MILLER The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is about to stage a race-wide enterprise in memory of Morefield Storey and Louis Marshall, recently asleep. These distinguished decedents are the primary for the welfare of the race through the agency of the National Association. We do well to show appreciation for such signal service. We live in an age that scarcely looks backwards. The thanat of the player glyphophone give the radio in such quick succession that these antiquated musical instruments are relegated to the corner of the parlor where they remain dust-covered, mute, and inglorious.

Phillips and Sumner are dead. lonely Hoover and Coolidge. The philanthropists who planted our schools and colleges have gone to the University of Howard revel in their expansive programs. We are so encroached in the present day heat and press of things that we scarcely find time to place a wreath on the graves of Cravath, Armstrong, Ware and Howard. We have no longer any political friends to uphold the hands of those who count, sacrificed and lost in our behalf. from Standpatters Storey and Marshall typify two different phases of philanthropic endeavor to usward. Storey is a lineal descendant both by blood and spirit of that old time New England philanthropy which gave us our freedom. Phillips, Sumner, Whittier, Lowell, the Stowes and the Beechers—the flower of Puritanism—delivered us out of the house of bondage. The Puritanism of the Pilgrim and the Quaker spied us in the depth of the ocean, and we also, these have gone to their reward, without spiritual descendants. Their sons, for the most part, have interests, including race prejudice. The liberators of the last generation are the stand-patters of this. The present day Lowell and Lodge still speaking with God, with the still speaking with rules of the state—Hover, Hughes, Root, and Mellon — remain mute when our rights are mentioned. Even the descendants of Lincoln and Grant do not deign to stain their lips by calling our name. Such is the present-day apostasy to the rights of man. The descendants of Brown are crowned with four score years. Moorfield Stoorey by his first love, steadfast and immovable. Who can forget the venerable statesman, patriot and philanthropist as head of the N.A.A.C.F. standing before the Supper voice the Neuros claim to full equality under the Constitution and the law? Mr. Marshall represents the same spirit of patriotism and philanthropy under an entirely different semblance. He is an open-minded, through whom we have Scriptural assurance that all the sons of men shall be blessed. In the earlier years, the Jew was so hard pressed to do anything that his energies were absorbed in his self-service. But in these later years when the Jew is gaining a foothold and a commanding voice, does he deserve to be black though they be. The Jew is the leader of the liberal spirit throughout the world, whether in economics, politics, religion or culture, and the cry of the oppressed wherever it is uttered. The name of Julius Rosenwald is a household word throughout the whole domain of human life. The Negro receives in music, literature, dramatics, and other forms of artistic expression, comes largely from Hebraic sources. The spirit of his race, Mr. Marshall lent his super legal talent to our cause. He became the Attorney General for the N.A.A.C. and stood e-ready to defend our country in his high legal talent and attachment. Storey and Marshall—we enable ourselves and enhance our cause by honoring them: We beceave ourselves and discredit our cause if we fail to do so. # English **Word Often Misused** Do not say "We are going some place tonight."

The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly The Proofreader Talks In the last talk it was stated that the apostrophe "should not be used for forming mere plurals." Note that the word "should" is used, and that the prohibition lies against "mere plurals," that is, the instances in which the possessive case is not involved. It is true that most, if not all, style books and grammars authorize or permit the use of the apostrophe in forming the plurals of letters, figures, signs and groups of initials. No reason is given for this authorization except in the case of the plurals of letters. It is stated, for example, that if we pluralize the letters, doing merely an "s," the combination may be taken to mean the verb "is." So it might, were it to stand alone, without any context. But the same difficulty occurs with other combinations, where the same one alone who knows what is meant by the word "stem"—a part of a pipe or a movement against a current? Consider the degree of water from the eye or a rent in one's pantalons? Then think of the various meanings of "rent." There are scores of such words. Then there are hundreds of other combinations of the word for the noun and the verb; i.e., "cut," "stake," and so on. How do we know which is which? The combinations "as," "ig" and "au" are combinations of combinations of letters with "s" (to form the plural) that might—standing alone—be mistaken for words. But if the combinations are in a sentence, "onfusion seems impossible—equivable or at least impossible." Moreover, both Webster and the Standard dictionaries—probably others, the authorize (with authority) an antonome), as plurals of "a" ("i" and "o"). Since these are the only possible cases where ambiguity MIGHT arise—but is scarcely used in English—which will cover the hundreds of cases where no ambiguity could arise? As for combinations of initials, such as "A" and "B," put both an antonome and "a" after the "D" to form the plural, then we should have: "All the M.D.'s wives were there" and "All the M.D.'s wives were there" (plural possessive).

C. has been selected for a rather unusual debate Friday evening, when Rev. Clem Tarpley takes the affirmative and Rev. John Walker takes the query: "Is a Women Called to Preach?" Rev. Tarpley, who preaches, handles the janitorial duties about a bank and operates an independent bank, and he takes the same as a man, and says he is going to prove that the first Gospel work, or pretty close to the first, was the product of the feminine work. Of that Rev. Walker is not so sure. He takes the opposite viewpoint, even though he has heard of Aimee McPherson, her temble at Los Angeles, and the cabin on the ranch or whereever there is room for an argument, he says: "If I lose the argument," Tarpley said: "I am going to whel my opponent a mile in a wheelbarrow on a joy ride, and if I lose I am either a mocking bird or maybe whistle like a mocking bird." Heflin Told Truth Once [From America, a Catholic Review, published in New York City.] BIGOTRY IN THE STATE Last October Hefin addressed a busybody in Philadelphia who professed great distress because in New York a Negro collegian had married a white woman. the senior Senator from Alabama accused this was done "with the heavy approval of the State and city government, presided over by Governor Smith and Jimmie Walker," after which he proceeded to attack the Catholic Church as the prime cause of these "shocking, disgusting, and horrible" attacks.

Joseph, Moses, Epicetus, Toussaint L'U Ouverture were Other Slaves who, According to History, Became Great Men. by JOHN J. TIGERT Former U. S. Commissioner of Education, Now President of the University of Florida, Speaking at the Founder's Day Exercises at Tuskegee (Ala.)

The opportunities this-birth, the opportunities that he about him as he develops, and the obstacles which he must surmount. Men are humble origin who accompany their bodies the better pinnacles of fame. Men are measured in relation to opportunities. As slavery was the lowest condition to which a man might be subjected, it is not unlike the careers of several slaves who became heroic figures in history. Joseph and His Brothers First, there is Joseph, the dreamer, sold by his jealous brethren into a place near eminence in a house on a near hill. When famine drove his unfortunate brothers to seek for food he was able to furnish them corn in abundance. William Jennings Bryan was someone whom Mr. Bryan was wont to cite the case of Joseph. "It is all right to be a dreamer if you have the courage that life might be added that the life of Joseph probably the most stainless of all Old Testament characters. The most colossal figures of antiquity emancipate and not dislodge of all law givers, came up from slavery and brought his people through 40 years of struggles in the western world.

Thrown in a filthy dungeon, he addressed an appointee, "Sir I am a French citizen. I never broke the law. By the grace of God, I have saved for you the largest island of your realm." Sire, of your dungeon, Napoleon, who complained bitterly of an allowance of $6,000 per month given him at St. Helena, answered by cutting the allowance to Toussaint L'Overture. Later the commandant of the prison was ordered to absent himself for five days. Returning, he found Toussaint starved to death.

After the address at the Atlanta Exposition, Washington awoke one morning, and he was famous. The press of the nation carried his words as on the wings of the morning. Grover Cleveland, the first president of the United States, a letter of congratulation. A little while later, he stands on the rostrum of America's oldest university, receiving a congratulatory letter from W. Eliot. Next he is on a tour of Europe which proved little less than a triumphal march. He is receive- If history, enacted in the memory of many persons now living, did not verify each incident, there would already be much doubt abroad as to whether these thines really happened. If Booker Washington had been born a century ago, no doubt the self-styled "debunkers" of history would already have shown the utter impossibility of many of the events of his unparalleled rise from slavery on world prominence. Philosophy of Working With the Hands Washington's educational philosophy is set forth in a simple passage from the address at the Atlanta Exposition, the substance of which is on the monument which stands on this campus: "Our greatest danger is that in the great leap from slavery to freedom we may overlook the fact that the masses of us are to live by the production of our hands and fail to keep in mind that we shall prosper in proportion as we learn to dignify and glorify common labour and public life and skill in the common occupation of life; shall prosper in proportion as we learn to draw the line between the superficial and the substantial, the ornamental gewgaw of life and the useful" "No race can prosper until it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem. It is at the bottom of life we must begin and not at the top." Dirty Clothing Versus French Verbs In speaking of the first students at Tuskegee, Washington said: "It was interesting to note how many big books some of the studied girl had, high-sound subjects some of them claimed to have mastered.

Says A.r. Villard: "In the South there are no daily papers owned and operated by col- ored men, or any colored reporters employed by any daily or by any service." "Being a white man, the reporter of a lynching or the like must inevitably side with his crowd, for he would lose his job if he did not." The Negroes assert with reason that many injustices and many terrible events are often suppressed. They declare that nearly 9,000,000 blacks living in the South have no means of getting unbiased through the American people, save through their own little-read (by whites) papers North and South. "The only Negro, they declare, who can reach the first page of the great dailies is the Negro criminal; if there is occasional recognition of a great Negro musician or scientist, it is usually with surpassing condescension, as one admires a reading horse or a trained seal." "There are exceptions, of course, for there are editors like Gonzales in South Carolina. Breckinridge of Lexington, Kentucky, until lately, Julian and Julia Harris in Columbus, Georgia, and a number of others who see to do justice to every man, irrespective of color; but the facts are as stated." "If anyone doubts this I can supply him with an Associated Press report of the murder of some Negroes whose sole crime was that they tried to vote in Florida. Its local correspondent failed to inform it that men, women and children were buried in the same election burial crime as herioned ever reported out of revolutionary Russia. It never carried this news. "Again, the Associated Press was the medium of wholesale lying and crass misrepresentation in reporting some race troubles in Philadelphia, Arkansas, American people as a 'Negro rebel' of more than a local nature, possibly planned for the entire South." "The simple truth was that a group of white men attacked a meeting of colored tenant farmers in Philadelphia, a white attorney to formulate the innocent demand that they receive written settlements of their accounts from their white landlords. This was all there was to the Associated Press's report, being all estates later before the start of the United States."

Observation of the mode of life of the thousands of girls and women who pass through the organizations each year indicates the following as a minimum budget for the independent young women—that is one who is living without direct or indirect assistance from friends, relatives or welfare agencies: Rent—$8 a week ($7 in Brooklyn). Food—$10.50. Clothing—$3.85 ($200 a year). Carfare, phone and postage—$1.25. Total Yoy $140 for recreation, savings, church and charity, medicine, doctor and dentist bills, vacation funds, dry cleaning, and all the other miscellany of a girl's life. No allowance may be made for that the girl earning $22 a week must do that for herself—and she usually does. Rooms $7 to $8 The girl coming to New York should plan to pay $7 to $8 a week for a room, because these are the lowest figures at which satisfactory rooms may be secured. This is becoming more difficult for the girl living alone in New York—particularly if she is unskilled—to secure work in this city. Employers of unskilled labor prefer girls who live with family and such girls are usually available at a lower wage. While these are the conditions known to all of the non-commercial organizations receiving personal visits and letters from girls all ready to come to New York, though they have neither friends nor relatives, no assistance is needed. This is especially true of girls expecting to secure jobs in New York as governesses, companions and maids. They do not seem interested in apartment, the all-day school for children, and the universal use of labor-saving appliances have caused thousands upon thousands of families to lose their young women, therefore, is to "Stay out of New York unless you are assured of at least $25 a week or have funds to insure life on your own, will a permanent residence is secured."

When I was quite a child, Mrs. Washington liked me and used to love her with Dr. Washington, later, the subject of adoption was brought up, agreed to, and I went to live with the Washington permanently. Dr. and Mrs. Washington were very kind to me during their life time and I owe them much, but my relations with them much more. I spent my spirit from my own family, or in causine-me to feel that I had an undue claim on the Washington or fortune or fortune work. I worked for a Margaret Murray, the "Margaret" being the name of Mrs. Washington, and the "Murray" being my own family name, make a life for myself.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, April 19, 1930 THE MUSICIAN petite star of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" signed another contract last week scaling herself in marriage to Anderson Gilmer of Detroit, who is attending an embalming school in Illinois. Miss Ward scored a bg hit in "Blackbirds," "Can I Gain You Anything But Love." It's Nobody's Business WHEN rackets were mentioned the other week this department overlooked a small "racket" that was worked in the Monumental City once too often, and as a result will not be used any time, soon, at least, again, that is unless one of the ticket takers at a certain downtown theatre loses his job or quits the mortal life. Although rackets are generally considered a menacing project, this particular tale has to do with the business of money-keeping. That it takes brains to maneuver this linked in the information department first introduced it, and from all this department can learn, responsible for its early death. Schoolboy money is never but a plentiful, if you know what it can take in the form of nickels and dimes is a real problem. Consequently, what is a collegian to do, when there is a big musical revue downtown and the boy is not alone, is to go alone, and leave her at home? That would never do in these back-biting days. Let her go alone, and then be called a chum by his companions? Never in this Dance Halls By LEVI H.

Never in this But it's an easy matter to buy a ticket and give it to the girl friend. The next thing to do is to let the girl friend go up (you need to be careful) and walk down on the street. Soon a ticket stub comes fluttering down to the pavement (they have windows, you know), and the B. F. stub in hand, marches up the stairs. Certainly, I've been in. I just stepped in to get a drink of water. That's what he tells the doorman and the G. F. makes herself small in her seat (it's a bench, don't you know) in order to meet that there is another patron.

Harrison, who plays the part of Lord in *Lord of Turtles*, needs not right how to speak Neal dialect by a WHITE man. The new *Lewyer* magazine But let the New Yorker magazine tell the story: 'It's not true that the Negro actors in the Harlem Fashions" were born in Harlem night clubs. Most of them are professional actors with plenty of experience. An exception, however, is the man who plays the Lord Ritchie in "The Sound of Music," whom he has been a teacher in the Agricultural and Technical School at Greensboro, N.C. and of winter has been touring the country giving readings. He has turned out to be rather hard to direct, owing to his rather excellent English diction, with no trace of Negro dialect. F. R.

He was a boy he worked as a porter, bellhov, diner-cairn-writer and clerk. Afterward he got into teaching and children in Chicago. The son conducts a jazz band, which he organized, and t he daughter dances in a cabaret is an adult act. He is lighter than he appears in the nart of the Lord—he has to get blacked up.

Dance Halls BY LEVI H. JOLLEY HELLO FRIENDS: I am sorry that you, my audience, cannot be seen; but if you could see them, then the fun would be spilled. Before going any further, I wish to announce that this is Station A-F-R-O. the voice of News in Baltimore. Levi (Tres) Jolley is the announcer for the program. The first discussion is the program, a short discussion by yours truly. Just returned from the Battle Field. I mean the hall used for the musical warfare. When I was forced to leave the front line because of the early morning hour, the battle was raging. The battle hall was won—the harmony shalls were falling fast with considerable noise. The regiment under the command of A. Jack Thomas, and known as the "Ambassadors," had advanced with their infantry and had gained more ground than their rivals. So that being the case, the judges, who are still unknown to this announcer, effected an armistice and gave them the first prize, which carries the right to claim the title of Maryland's Kings of Jazzy. Their document, the judges considered two other contingents and awarded them honors. Percy Glassece and his Plantation Battalion, who had used machine guns for their advance, and IgG were given the division, tied for second honors. And, dear friends, that is the result of the musical battle. held Thursday night at the New Albert Auditorium. Much to the surprise of the rookers for these men, the Royal Southern Horsemen, who were considered a strong power in the running, failed to get to the battle ground. Due to governmental red tape, he was held in New York City, where his contract at the Army-collar ballroom, has not expired. The crowd at the battle was terrible; ather, the crowd filled the place to capacity, which made dancing terrible—that is what I say. One could not dance in that say. One could not dance in that joint—plus the heat. Having experienced that heat, I decided to to church regularly and be good, so that I will go to Heaven. Last week the old gang that is, those who formerly were big boys of the "Dance Big News," a weekly periodical formerly published here, gave a homecoming dance for Ike Dixon and his wandering boys. The affair was rather nifty, the music was better, and the girls were well dressed night. Joe Randall, chairman to the title of Baltimore's Best Wampus Dancer, traveled over to the "Dreamland," on the East Side, to take on all comers in a sectional dancing bee. Joe danced as nobody's business. He had as dancers as Miss Helen and cannot be slighted for she just filled the hill. After the judges had awarded the prize (as usual), the fire works started. These in fire were the favorites of the East Side. Let loose everything they had from verbal demonstration to physical remonition. When the threw was at its height, Roberta Miss Smith and the announcer for this station, with several boys from the press escaped. And what a narrow one it was: for no sooner had the machine started than one of them discovered that we had made an exit. Revue Off for Paris "Newton's Chocolate Revue" sailed for France on Friday night. The cass included Louis Cokes, the former star of "The Beverly Hills" current floor show at the Lennox Club; Mae Brown from "Kitchen Mechanics Revue," at Smalls' Paradise; Lillian Brown, Snow Fisher. Billie Bills number of other local performers. Those in the know around New York are shaking their heads and wondering at fate. This boy Newton, who got the $16,000 as his price to divorce his wife, broke a few years ago. Jeff Blount loaned him a quarter and gave him a job. At Jeff's place he met his former wife, and got out of the ex-army Club's biggest drawing card, Louis Coles. This might mean fewer customers up there, and eventually money out of Jeff Blount's pocket. That is the way of Harlem and Brownsville. The man you give a meal today is likely to steal your wife tomorrow.

Por "Abraham Lincoln," filming at United The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, April 19, 1930 "The Green Pastures" Life Hinges on 60-Year-Old Star Richard Harrison, as "The Lord," Carries Burden of Broadway's Latest All-Negro Success, AFRO Writer Finds. By D. ARNEST MURPHY (Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, (Special). — Just how long "Green Pastures," now in its second month at the Mansfield Theatre, will remain there, is to my mind largely dependent on the vitality of its sixty-six-year-old star, Richard Harrison. For it must be said right here and now that without this great actor and Hall Johnson's choir, "Green Pastures" would soon follow up in a similarly败死 away. The play is advertised as sold out eight weeks in advance. Finally the killing of Pharaoh's son, and the freeing of the Hebrews. From here on the play moves rapidly, as it shows God appearing to Moses on the mountain last night. Then the children on their way there. Next a cabaret scene where the dancers are about as nude as is possible without being vulgar, being warned by a prophet that unholy men should there be. The children will visit another punishment upon them. God Throws Thunder Again we see God in His office throwing thunder bolts down upon his people and Gabriel asking if there was a greater punishment than to which God ronihed that the "bolts" were not sufficient to frighten them while Gabriel draws out that it's Savors of "Porgy" But to get down to the show itself—"Green Pastures" is another of those now famous all-colored dramas, or in this particular case, as styled by its author, "a Fable." which are appearing perennially on Broadway and somewhat of "Forges" and "The Ten Commandments" hashed together. First Negro as God With the "Ten Commandments" and the "King of Kings," already produced as dramas on the screen, with famous actors in the part of the Lord, perhaps the author could and rightly did, feel no apprehension in having a colored actor take a similar part, although he might be going a further, in having one take the part of the Play; open with a prologue showing a Sunday School class of about thirteen youngsters being taught by a venerable, old white-haired gentleman, Mr. Deshee, played by Charles Moore of Lafayette Players fame. Mr. Deshee is answering queries of his innocent listeners as to what he "what did God look like?" and others just as simple, yet just as difficult to answer. We recognized among the children one of the Whitman Sisters former juvenile stars whose name we have at the moment forgotten, but whose name does not appear on the program. Mr. Deshee, in his lesson, told the Old Testament, concerning the beginning of the earth, the creation of sun, moon and stars, and of man. Eat Fish Sandwiches God Appears It is here that Mr. Harrison makes his distinguished appearance as God, the shepherd, the white tie, and creating black shoes so familiarly associated with some of the rural ministers. God asks his disciples, "if they are his enemies, to which they all reply with one voice 'yes, Lord,' to which He replies 'I am glad.' We might interrupt here to say that all the unutied, the picture heaven and earth here as it would be described to a congregation by any of the unutied, but faithful, the unutied, whom he says, cannot 'read the book which is the treasure house f their faith, but who have adapted the contents of the Bible to their every-day Make Adam and Eve God then tells his angels that he is going to do one of the most wonderful of all his works, and create man, so the following scene we find a garden played by Daniel Haynes, and woman, Inez Richardson Wilson. Then follows the introduction of Cain and Abel, their quarrel, the murder of Abel and the appearance of Cain, as they travel the next scene brings spontaneous applause, as it shows Cain, foot soarse and weary, traveling (on an endless treadmill) looking for a home, while by a clever device, one sees the houses going to be painted cemetery, making striking and life-like appearance. From here on we are taken through a succession of scenes, showing God's private office, furnished simply with the furniture of his employment agency would look nowadays, with Gabriel, played by Wesley Hill, formerly of Pory, busily engaged in looking after such things that they would soon too soon." Then another scene where God comes down to earth and walks as a man; finds much wickedness including a murder, grab shooting, dancing, singing, and decides to destroy the earth with a flood. He comes upon an old minister named Noah, played by Tutt Whitney, and his wife, played by Susie Sutton and his brother, the salvation of themselves and family, and the animals and plants of the earth. See Ark Bullet Then there is the building of the ark, with the crowd around ridiculing Noah and his sons; the deacon the rehabilitation of the earth, until again we find God in His office asking Abraham, Isaac and Jacob whom he shall select as a leader of His people out of the earth, for Pharaoh, played by George Rendol. Following is the court of Pharaoh an appeal to him by Moses, played by Alonzo Fenderson, and his son Aaron, McKinley, and Pharaoh, refusal the subsequent plagues, and Artists, a car made for forty men for the siege so some rises; the outbreak of the Civil War. When night approached and time came for that show, the soldiers were sent to bring fifty more to the lot at once. King Vidor, famous director who made "Hailieja!" and "Lahiela!" as soon as Nina McMeyken returns to fill the title role. Blake Active in Village With the taking over of the Gansvoort Theater in Greenwich Village by Will Morrissey, a white producer, an avenue is open for business, and new production of the "Tollies Bergere Revue" by Euble Blake. It will be a mixed revue, featuring twelve guest artists and production of Dernie Harris.

Here, too, we find God troubled by the prayers of His people, and feeling that he must go down to them again and deliver them from the oppression brought by the prayers of His people, Mr. Harrison is afforded ample opportunity to display his histrionic powers, and rises magnificently to the occasion. "Another 'Pish Fry'," where, in the presence of His angels, God is so touched by the prayers of His supplicants that he decides again to come to earth. this time as Jesus Christ, to explain the suffering. Here again, Mr. Harrison is superb.

Chapter VII Screams of horror issued from hundreds of threats as the air came back, which he leaped into its path, lowered its horns and plunged with terrible force at Rod. Trained on the ranges for just such training as this, Rod knew precisely what to do. With a nimbleness which would have done credit to a bullfighter, he leaped to the sharp horns from piercing him. Then with a movement which was incredibly swift, he seized the animals horns, and then swung downward, the full weight of his body and the hard strength of his muscles, using the steer's neck groundward. BOD SUBDUES THE STEER For an instant the struggle was uncertain. Grimly the youth strained and stubbornly the animal yelied, until with a shout the movement. Seeing the animal prostrate the officer ran up and placed his gun against the steer's head. "My mister! Wait a minute. Don't kill him!" Rod cried, as he lay, his hands still holding the animals' horns firmly, on the ground beside it. "I can manage him now." The officer he asked, "How you meat that beef? I better send a slug through his head before he hurts somebody." "No wait." Rod seized the fallen steer in the nostrils and cautiously bared cumbrous upright. "I c crowd which had started to gather around the scene of the drama swept back, including the policeman. The driver of the truck from which the animal had escaped had run into the crowd, fearfully regarding the escaped beast and its canon, uncertain what to do. Still retaining his hold on the steer the bronze youth led it slowly toward the cattle truck. Admiringly the man had reached the vehicle, promptly swung its wooden runway into the street, helping Rod to herd the now docile steer back into the machine. From the outskirts of the crowd Rod could hear the call of a horse when they had reached the vehicle, promptly swung its wooden runway into the street, helping Rod to herd the now docile steer back into the machine. From the outskirts of the crowd Rod could hear the call of a horse when they had reached the vehicle, promptly swung its wooden runway into the street, helping Rod to herd the now docile steer back into the machine. Are you hurt? Kling demanded anxiously, as he took Rod's arm and pushed him into a taxi. "Not a bit. It'll be able to fight all right," Rod grinned, as he sat back in the car. "Kling thinking about fighting, I'm thinking about you," Kling cried. "Why, boy, you are a hero!" "Aw, Mr. Kling," Rod muttered abashed, "that wasn't anything. We used to build steers at home just him. It's not as dangerous as it looks." "Maybe not," Kling said feelingly, "but I would run the other way if I did. I did run along with several hundred other people!" ***** In spite of his having, told Kling that he had been brushed on the legs by the contact with the falling animal. When he got home he applied lodie and lay on it, the darkening was falling. He wondered what Lyla was thinking of him by now? He wanted badly to call her, but the rememberance of her horrible death entered Tessie's house and found him kissing Zeda, made him believe that she would probably hang up on him did call; it only been this afternoon, it had days ago. So much had happened. A heavy sense of melancholy pervaded him. Now he knew that, as he grew older, he had as he felt toward Lyla. He realized that he loved her with an intensity that was too much to be invisible. Vague thoughts, half-formed plans to again win her ester swam through his troubled mind, but there was no possibility of one which seemed possible. A SUPRISE VISITOR With such thoughts floating through his mind he dropped off into troubled slumber outside, outside, outside. He springd dusk. The daytime sounds had merged into the peacefulness of late evening. Rod slept with the quietness a chuckle with only his breath, breathing indicating that he ligued. The door of his room opened softly. A shadowy figure hesitated for a moment, widened eyes across the floor to his bed. Rod stirred uneasily. The intruder snuck down beside his bed, him him him. A husky female voice broke the stillness: "Rod. Rod. . ." The youth murmured brow but did not awaken. Again came the woman's voice: "Rod. . . sweetheart. As Rod came back to wakefulness he was conscious of a heady fragrance, and of soft lips pressing against his. For a moment his lay a dream, and he woke up in his booth that by some magical process the lips which were on his belonged to Lyla. Slowly his arms encircled the figure which leaned over him, and the woman sat in it. The pressure on his mouth increased. He returned the kiss with increasing fervor. Soft hands stroked his hair and his face. Suddenly he realized that he was not dreaming. He sat up abruptly. "Who—what—" he began confused. A quiet voice interrupted him. "Don't you ever remember my kissing him?" Zedta. "Zedta?" Rod cried. "Who else, darling, would have the nerve to come to your room like this?" the girl inquired coolly. "Oh, but you mustn't do exclaimed, but you will people." The girl broke in. "Who cares what anybody thinks, honey? I'm one girl who knows what she ```markdown ``` The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, April 19, 1930 A "With a deft movement she threw off his dressing gown." wants and isn't afraid to go after. Her face was near to his, her voice thrillingly warm. "And I want you." Rod was young, and the wild blood of youth flowed swiftly through his vigorous body. The exotic perfume which the girl used seemed to create a haze about her, and made her seem a veritable enchantress. "But, Zeda—you must not do this you know,." he protested unconvincingly. "And why should I not do anything I want to do? the girl be around his neck. I'm free, single, and disengaged, and I am over twenty, so who's to tell me what I shall or shall not do?" Rod's voice deepened and throbbed beneath the last of the singing emoji right, "he agreed. 'Nothing else matters, does it?' "What's Reggie's father got to do with it? Rod inquired, thinking no of the question but of the girl in his closet. "Why, he's the biggest banker on the south side and he has just as much political pull as Adderman with the underworld, too. although it's never been proved. Rumor has it that there is some connection between Durant, Reggie's dad, and guess who?" "Can't imagine." THE WOOL AGAIN "With none other than your beloved enemy—the Wolf! Martin announced dramatically. 'What do you think of that?' Not much I don't believe it." Oh, you don't eh? Well, it'd窄 likely, you know Reggie's dad's bank was held up about two years ago, and the bandits got $50,000 cash. Nobody In answer, Zeda pressed a hard kiss upon his lips. Savagely the boy throw his arms about her soft body and drew her slowly to hold her close while the pressure of her arms tightened around him with passionate force. The yielding form in his arms suddenly became rigid. Zeda pulled away from him sharply. "Some one is coming up the stair's!" Before she had time to say more, there was a knock at the door. The girl sprang up dismused. All her vaunted boldness seemed to have left her. "What shall I do? Hide me — quick!," she cried. "Jump in that clothes close." Rod directed in a low whisper, pointing toward it. Quickly the girl obeyed, pulling the door shut. JUST A FRIEND Who is it? Rod called me. "It's me, you big stuff," Martin's voice responded. "Were you asleep?" He entered the dim room slowly feeling his way toward the light on the bed, but feeling Zedda's purse on the covers, dragged it beneath them, and sat on the bed's edge. Martin snapped on the lights, and long time to answer, he complained. "I was beginning to think that you weren't here." "I was sound asleep." Rod lied, "Well, you're just about the widesake awake," he said. Martin told him. Your eyes are sparkling, and your face is as red as a brownskin face can get What's the matter?" His eyes probe into God's own. "Away," magnifying things Marty, I was asleep. Rod insisted "What brings you to my humble domicile this time of the evening, anyway." Just dropped by to gossip a minute. Have you seen Lyla since—this afternoon?" Rod glanced apprehensively toward the closet. "Let's not discuss her." "Martin. If you say another word about either one of those girls I will right in the nose!" Rod threatened. "Well, Till be—oh, all right." Martin accred. "If you rather, not talk about me." He me. His voice, slightly gruff. "Don't get sore about it." Rod berged. "I just have good reasons for it." Cowboy Harris said. "OK. Cowboy Herrick." Martin said. "Have you heard the latest?" The latest? "Walta's father, Alderman Durant," is going to run for the state Senate. And if he can get Reggie's clutch on him with his a clutch on make it." "What's Reggie's girl got to do with it?" Rod inquired, thinking not of the question but of the girl in his closet. "Why. he's the biggest baker on the south side and he has just about 10 bakers on the island." Durant, Folls say he's hitched up with the underworld, too, although it's never been proved. Reggie's dad, Durant, Reggie's dad, and—guess who?" THE WOLE AGAIN "With none other than your beloved enemy—the Wolf!" Martin annotated practically. "What do you think of that?" "Not much. I don't believe it." "Not much. I don't Mind it." he. "Oh, you don't mind it." Reggie's dad's bank was held up about two years ago, and the bandits got $10,000 cash. Nobody ever caught them, and the insurance company had to make good the loss. And she's not sure how much one seen in the bank several times. "Why can't he bank there like anyone else?" Rod questioned. "He can. In addition to banking there, he has been seen to go into the bank." Rod said he stayed for quite *while* on several occasions. There's something between those boys. And what's more. Wolf has got a large following among the sporting class. He tails them out when they get arrested and supplies lawyers for them. He's really got a voice. If he is mixed up with wife's glee of how they'll mull it z whizz of political combination, take from me. "That sounds absurd." Rod protested. "The idea of a banker and a gangster being allies—why. we just wait until you been in Chicago as long as I have." Marilyn told him knowingly, "and you out that stranger things than that." "Well, I don't believe that Lynn's father would have anything to do with a man like Welf, warned me against Welf himself." Zedda forgotten for the moment. "Politics," Martin stated pedastically, "a gagging, the best, the most queer alliances. That's why there is no more efficient government in the large cities. The men who are elected to office offer their evil intentions to Welf's tyranny. They don't forget it either." "Gig! You make me positively ill. If that's the way the big cities are, I'm going back out here." The air is at least clean. Rod assered. "Well, don't think that I don't feel like that myself sometimes." He played the air is at least clean. And if it takes crookedness to get there—why, I play the zame with the rest of them?" Martin said. "This rotten—rotten. I tell you And every other city's just like it!" "Now I know I'm going back out home," Rod said, sighing deeply. "I "I thought you were going to be a prizefighter!" Martin said. "I am—for a while, anyway. Kling thinks I can make good. He says we what I want to do—make a lot of money. That I don't believe, after what you've told me, that I want to go to school here. If I do make more money going to talk to kids back to school, buy the big ranch next to Dad's. I surprise him, too, because he didn't want me to come here. He told me practically the same things about city life that have been written about he was just try- to soak in. He'd blame you. Kid." Martin said softly. "Wish. 'Wish was cut out for that sort of life.' He brightened, and laughed. "What's the use of talking like that? When do you have your first fight if ever?" "In about a week or so now, I'm to fight Mickey Latzo." "Mickey Latzo!" Martin exclaimed "Why, Kid. he'll murder you!" "DO I GAME" "See you!" "Martin clapped his hand to his head suddenly. By yosh! I came near forgetting what I came up here to show you!" I came up to show you, pulled out a faded newspaper, "Congratulations, old he- Over Ten Million Roreen Treatments Used Yearly Why?

Bewildered, Rod unfolded the paper. His picture leaped out at him from the front page. He stared in alarm and read the account of his adventure with the steer: how he had trown it and, according to the highly colored book, had thrown a number of little children. The article went on to tell that he was a boxer and that, being from the cattle country, he had the unusual emergency when the steer had broken loose. It mentioned the fact that he was to fight on the ensuing battle and that he him in extravagant action. He put the paper down limply. ... Suddenly He remembered his un-oiden guest. He glued again at the closet where she was. "Say, Marty," he began epilogging her. "You would mind if I got to bed? You know that, is now that I'm a boxer I have to sort of keep early hours. You know what I am amazed. "Boy, what's the matter with you tonight? One minute you are all excited about your story in the paper, and the next you start shooing me out of your room. Something's wrong sure as I'm alive. You tell me what it is. Rod grinned weakly, and tried to yawn. You're imagining things, old bean. There isn't anything wrong. Stay an night if you like. There isn't anything wrong. Rod said hurt. "Come and see me when you are in a better mood." Takine his hat he strode to the door. "Oh, you don't understand." Rod cried. "I'm not chasing you away. I can't. I must just take my word for it. won't you?" With the door half opened Martin stared wondering at his friend for several seconds. Then a smile broke out on him. "Kid." He will be seeing you. The door closed behind him, and Rod could hear his friend going down the stairs to the door. When he came, he beeped to be went to the closet and caged it. THE PRISONER APPEARS "I thought I was going to faint! Zedda cried as she sheared. Rod stared at her. He was staring at his dressing arm, and in her hand she held a small bundle which he saw was her dress. Her tiny feet flapped ridiculously in his large house-slipers before him. "Are you I charming, honey? she demanded, as she whirled around rugously in the large garments. "Why why why — youre undressed, for you why why — youre undressed, "And what of it? Zedda inquired. Her eyes fell on the newspaper. She snatched it up and read it while Rod stood in helpless abstemption. After her quick persuasal she threefolded upon Rod. He laughed upon Rod. His arms going around him possessed. "So my darling a hero! she cooed 'don't know zukfighter, though. Do they make much money?' "Sometimes they do. "Rod told her distractedly, as the warm of his palmas. "Tunney made a million dollars in two fights. I believe." The girl released him and clapped her hands delightedly. "Ooh! Wouldn't it be if you could make a dollar?" "There's not much chance of that. I'm only beginning," the youth told her a bit more easily. Zedpa danced around his room curiously. "This room is too small." "No jrills—just necessities. Haven't you even got a little drink for a thirsty girl hidden away somewhere?" "I don't drink. Rod muttered. "Well, you did that, afternoon, sweet papa!" she cried amply. "And how! My, you could be certain, certainly wish I could make you take a drink now.

He showed plenty of speed and a knack of getting the ball over the plate. The Alabama boy is a right-hander and uses a triple-windup before de- ferring to the ball. livering the bath. When he shot a rather hot one into Eggle Clarke's glove, Clarke is said to have cautioned him. "Boy," Paire is reported as saying, "you can't see a speed yet. Just wait until the weather warms up." On the bases, Paige was a constant worry to the opposing pitchers and he runs, he picks his feet up and lays them down with walking fashion. in a sort of gambit. Fats Jenkins and Pete Washington are expected shortly, and with Rap Dixon, round out the outfield. Dixon's throwing arm and batting eye seem to be as good as ever, and in the Sunday games he showed his deer-like speed on the bases, stealing home in the first game in a daring slide. That run was really the run that won the Dick Lundy danced about the shortfield like a young boy, scooping up everything that came on the bat. Sir Richard rudely robbed a number of Bloomingdale batsmen of what, under ordinary circumstances would have been clean hits. Manager Frank Warfield was on the bench in civies, illness preventing his participation. No wonder when George Rossiter looked at the boys romp, he said as he smiled. "They'll be better than the team I had last season." George was right. THE MAN who conducts this colum makes mistakes sometimes, and is willing to admit them.

I am a constant reader of this particular column, but this is my first time to have sufficient grounds on which to challenge any of your writings. In referring to basketball officials, you openly stated, that Mr. L. U. Gibson was the best that Baltimore can offer. I have obligated (referred) for the last eight years, mostly in the CLAA; but due to my being a student, I was never officially certified. In every game I officiated, I was temporarily certified by a mutual and written contract of the opposing managers. For reference, you may consult: Harold Martin (coach) Va State College; Mr. Byarm (coach) A. and T. College. Prof. J. T. Taylor, graduate manager N.C. College. Not less than H. W. Culver, graduate manager and last, but not least, Mr. Ernest (Culver), Brown, Baldwin. 1411 Difflin Hill Avenue. And from another reader (yes, I have more than one) comes the following: Dea. Sir: While reading the affRO last week I saw a statement of yours about the affRO of Baltimore. I have been in Baltimore about six months and I have been to the games on behalf of and have seen about four or five officials referre the preliminaries. There is one youngster who looks very good to me. I do not know his name, but I have hard some call him "JACK." That is one boy who could be made one of the best in town, and all he needs is a little training from someone like Mr. L. U. Gibson. Yours in sport, WALTER L.

The results will inform in answer to a questionnaire sent out last summer that 350 of 128 in favor of retaining the jump, 215 of those who voted, stating that they had experimented with the proposed change. The most important rule change is probably that which reduces the number of free throws allowed a player fouled in the act of shooting a goal, from two to one. The shooting player will now get credit for the field goal, if he makes it, but only one free throw, where he formerly received two charity tosses in the field goal or not, under the new rulings, if the goal is made and the foul shot missed, the ball is in play instead of being returned to center. Among other changes is the rule that on a jump ball, the ball may be tapped not more than twice by either player jumping in or out of the circle. But if one of the jumpers runs out of the center, the penalty is made a technical foul with one free throw for the opponent, instead of merely giving it to the opposing team on the sideline. An exception to the rule was made, however, where a jump-off is made near the basket and one player taps the ball in, while the other runs out. Then the field goal counts and the foul awarded. To allow more actual playing time, it was ruled that on a free throw the timer's watch shall not be started until the ball leaves the free thrower's hands. The use of three officials was recommended, but not made a rule because of the expense involved. An effort to reduce freezing the ball to a minimum is seen in the rules of the basketball game, a one bounce in the defensive half of the court, the matter to be voted on in this year's questionnaire. Such a rule, if enforced, may work havoc with some of the teams that have become expert in the art of putting the sphere on ice.

Townsend Fears Santiago LOS ANGELES, Cal., (ANP) — When a fighter and his managers admit themselves afraid of their opponent verily, he must have the "goods." But this is what Billy Townsend, famous Canadian lightweight, his father and Jack Allen, mangers, confessed. So in preparation for the battle with Armand Santiago at the Olympic last Tuesday night, special pains were held in Billy to keep his chin well-covered during the mixups with the Cuban flash. Billy was dropped twice in their last sensational battle here and only once in the final. He landed a lucky punch that knocked out his foe, leaping into the "kill." Larry Jonson I Become O Return Match with Rosenbloom May Mean T The return bout between Larry Johnson and Maxie Rosenbloom, which is scheduled for the Garden in New York, occasions a comment from Ed. Hughes, white, of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, in which he predicts that Johnson will in all probability be another champion. Reviewing the dark-skinned fighter's bouts with Pete Latzo and Rosenbloom, in both of which the decisions were rather "smelly," the writer says: "Johnson is improving with every battle, and there is no predicting how good he may be in time. In his early combats Larry was inclined to be "right hand crazy," as they say due to his success in leveling rivals with his terrific right. "All that has been overcome now, Johnson has become a very useful member of knuckle players, his left. He abjure with it, and he can learn books from that arm containing real punishing power. "Johnson, in fact, is becoming a finished fighter in practically every department. Frequently he "died up" Maxix in close, and when he couldn't do that, Larry's infighting was quite as effective as Rosenbloom's. Right Hand Punch "His right-hand punch has a double edge of danger, too. Larry has been knocking them silly with long flashing lunges from this member but against. Maxie he produced another edition quite as menacing. "Rosenbloom, mauling in close, took plenty of stiff right jolts about the head, and particularly back of his neck," he tried to "roll" with the wallpapers. Has Stuff of Champions "All in all, Johnson, if he sticks to his knitting and isn't spoiled by fane, may yet produce another champion for the colored race. "He has everything—the physique, heart, puns and wit, and he asks much more than—except for a "break" from the officials. However, a few decisions as smelly as the Latz thing can completely set at naught all these "That's the sad part of professional glove, play."

Plucky Philadelphia Scrapper Beaten by Experienced Fighter YOUNG NORFOLK WINS Local "Y" Boxers Capture Preliminaries Battling Griffin, plucky little Philadelphia scraper, bowed his head in defeat for the first time in Baltimore, Tuesday night, when he lost the decision after ten rounds to Calvin Reed of New York. The battle, the windup to the all-star card for the benefit of the Drudg Hill avenue "Y" branch, was not without its thrilling moments, and even the fight fans had their fill of action are the final gong sounded. Reed weighed 131 and Griffin, 132. Fight is Close Reed's experience stood him in good stead against his younger rival, but the grit and doggedness of Grizzle walked away and there were some, who at the close of the battle, felt that it should have been a draw. Charlie Short, referee, and one of the judges of the game, also other judge cas, his vote for Griffin. Read is Captious The fight started off slowly, with both fighters sparring for an opening. Reed: using a stalling left jab, Griffin: using a stalling second round, and in the infighting showed a shade over the Philadelphia battler. Stirring rallies by Griffin however, during which he found their foot to Reed's head and face, kept him in the running, and as the bout progressed toe-to-toe slugging started. Reed bringing his supporters to Griffin, drew the claret from Griffin's mouth. A stirring rally by Griffin in the sixth brought the fighters on even terms as they entered the seventh chukker, but a more accurate placing of blows by Reed, and a knack of taking advantage of the opportunity to ease away to an advantage that proved the deciding factor in the contest. Slug Toe-to-Toe Both fighters shugged hard in the seventh and eighth rounds, Griffin being the more aggressive in the seventh, with Reed apparently coating. A toe-to-toe exchange of blows in the ninth found both fighters weaker. The final round the New York boy cinched the decision. Kid Norfolk Wins In the semi-windup, Young Kid Norfolk, former local mittman, but now of Chester, Pa. gained the nod over usher John H. Hunt, who wore a sweater, proclaiming himself as the Virginia Kid. Hall showed to good advantage, showing how he could number of good blows to Norfolk's head and body. He staged a stirring rally in the seventh round, blowing with his more experienced rival Norfolk, however, had piled up points in the earlier rounds. Both fighters were knocked out in the final ring. Hall getting an extra share of an aplause for his splendid showing. Local "Y" Boys Win Neal Saunders of the local "Y" won a decision from Chip Peterson in the opening preliminary, and Gerald Reeder, after a clown bit, kykyed Sailor, Grutchief of Washing, Crutcher Guld was "out" for fully ten minutes. Bobby Brown of Baltimore, weighing 120 pounds, scored a win over Dewey Toller, 11B, in the fifth round of a scheduled eight-round battle.

It is a curious fact that whenever anyone becomes ill soon after eating, and investigation leads to the conclusion that the person suffers from food poisoning, the blame is laid invariably upon the canned food if any has been eaten recently. This practice has been responsible for the suspicions with which many still look upon this class of preserved foods. But such accusations are almost invariably unjust, for canned foods are among the safest foods which we eat.

It was this, I admit which first attracted my attention to him. Now, a man of such nondescript physical appearance as Mr. Abbott's, yet who is interesting in some ways, is a man of such unique middle name, his unique little mustache beneath the center of his nose, his unconscious effort when in public to seem overburdened with the weight of gravel, his use of the superficialities which contribute to the interest that surrounds this man. These are the characteristics which first arouse him, and better acquaintance of his solid achievement is what holds attention.

Nannie Helen Burroughs, speaking in Boston before the Ford Hall Forum recently, called for the state to give more noisyilarity than that body had seen previously in a decade. Her whole attitude seemed to cry: "I'm a Negress, and I intend to give you respect as a Negress to give you. Here it is: take it!" And she did give it. The whites howled with laughter along with some of the colored folks; but most the colored folks burned with embarrassment. "When she called herself a mahogany boy," whispered a falkninned but race-conscious little Ariamerican maiden afterwards, "I almost pass by her daily clown," commented another youth, who was challenged by a Burroughs defender to deny that, in spite of a vaudevillees platform manner, she had "put her message across." She shed did. I am personally less interested in her message than in her personality. It is the latter that renders her interesting. Anybody with any pretension, not in a message, but anybody cannot, in addition, sizzle interest like Nannie Helen Burroughs's. This interest is intensified by the knowledge that Miss Burroughs heads and that she commands great influence among Negroes,—and a considerable number of whites,—of the country. I have not met any of the graduates, and I still emulate the principal, then there must be just so many more interesting young women in Aframerica.

One-half Employed Women Found in Domestic Service Percentage in Other Lines, Except Agriculture, on Increase More than one-half of the Negro women in the United States who are gainfully employed, are in domestic and personal service, analysis of charts compiled by the U.S. Women's Bureau of the Department of Labor shows. These charts are now on exhibition at the AFRO-AMERICAN office and similar ones will be loaned by the Bureau to persons making application and furnishing postage for forwarding. According to these charts, in 1910 there were 2,013.98 Negro women employed in money-earning in the United States. Ten years later, in 1930, this number had decreased to 1571, and was appointed that in the ten-year interval, the power of the male heads of families had so increased as to release 442.692 of the female members of their families from work outside of homes. 24th Non-Com. Wins Marksman's Badge WASHINGTON, D.C. (ANP)—The Secretary of War has designated Sergeant Scott Bradford, Headquarters Company, 24th Infantry at Fort Benning, Georgia, and has ordered that a distinguished marksman's badge be issued Sergeant Bradford's credits for the distinguished designation under the regulations are as follows: Sergeant Bradford's Corps Area Rifle Competition, 1921, then Private, Service Co. 24th Infantry. Brigadier-General—National Rifle Team Match, 1929. Firing member of Infantry Team, then Sergeant, Headquarters Co. 24th Infantry. Brigadier-General—National Rifle Team Match, 1929. Firing member of Infantry Team, then Sergeant, Headquarters Co. 24th Infantry. Sergeant Bradford is the only enlisted man of the 24th Infantry who is authorized to wear the distinguished marksman's badge and is the first 24th Infantry soldier to have this From Farms Another interesting point brought out by these charts is the ever decreasing number of women working on farms or in agricultural pursuits. From 1910 to 1920 the number decreased from 1.051137 to 612.261. Domestics Grow Were these women supplanted by mechanical devices, or did they migrate to cities? If they did migrate to the cities, would they not be more suited to domestic service than other lines of work? At any rate the percentage of domestic and personal employees jumped from 42.4 per cent in 1910 to 50.3 per cent in 1920. So that by 1920, the proportion of this line of work more than outnumbers all of the women employed in other fields. Professionals Women in the professional world who numbered 29,645 in 1910, had their ranks swelled to 39,127 in 1920, an increase of 33 per cent. Those who numbered 29,645 in 1920 or 0.2 per cent of the total working women population. In 1920 there were 8,301 in the clerical field. This was 0.5 per cent of the women population, and represents an increase of 150 per cent over the period. **Working Hours** Working hours range from about eight to twelve hours, with the largest number working ten hours per day. The charts also reveal that the largest number of workers had jobs at their jobs from five to ten years, while only 16.2 per cent and been at their jobs less than a year. **Median Earnings** New Jersey has the highest average of eleven states in which 5,390 women were surveyed. In that state the average wage with 121 women surveyed was $11.30 per week. Ohio, in which 652 women were investigated, had $8.65, with Kentucky third, at $8.55 covering a survey of 1,126 women. In keeping with the importance of so large an industrial group, the AFRO column is devoted to employers and employees in Domestic lines of work. Items of interest to persons so employed are problems and problems of employers will be discussed. AFRO readers are invited to contribute to this column. "Numbers" Hurting Employment Efficiency The numbers game has had a bad moral and financial affect on colored domestic employees. The affect in numerous instances: the employee in an employment and colored help with white help in many homes according to Wm. B. Day, employment agent. In too many cases, the employees won in a job, will "lay-off" when they make a "hit," or else they quit altogether until their winnings are spent. Another evil effect of the number game which has inflicted the employees in the employment helped the incessant usage of the telephone by the domestics. The employees will use the phones to the inconvenience of the employers in coming out and other for the game. Where the domestics have not been discharged in instances of this kind, they have been denied the use of the phone. Aside from the servants can use numbers in the numerous instances to ask what number the domestic wishes to play. Many employers have complained that their help has not come to work until 9:30 on account of the number of employees. One numbers them so denormalized domestic help that many disgusted employers have complained to the authorities about the name. Another with a hold on the people that even the unemployed will use their last pennies to try to make a "hit", instead of buying them. Employers state that on numerous occasions they have secured situations for individuals who did not have car fare but obligated large quantities of numbers. Even while searching for jobs, should some be bucking around to find them, they will not go to see about the work. Several employment managers have also hired hungry persons to help hungry persons take the last penny and exchange it for a number slip.

B. WILLIAM I. GIBSON The doors of the St. Mary's Home for Boys, Presstman and Vincent Streets, swung open Friday morning to receive a visitor. That visitor was Walter Warren, aged six, a mite of a reethaded boy, with wide open eyes, who until that morning had made his home with his mother and father, Jeanette and burgess Warren, at 1430 E. Fayette Street. But on this particular Friday morning, little Walter's mother lay on a slab in the morgue of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, while his father languished in a cell at the Northeastern police station charged with having stabbed her, to death as the result, of a quarrel Thursday night. Child Only Witness The youngster, the only witness to the crime, was found with his arms about his mother when police arrived, his tattered clothes spattered with blood where he had held her in one last embrace. Out of the mouth came the words that caused to place his father under arrest. Dressed in blue denim overalls, and wearing a little red-striped blouse, provided by the sisters at the home, little Walter, whose face belies his tender age, presented a tragic picture, as he retold the story of the crime that has made of him a public charge. The coherence of testimony was remarkable, as the language of the streetcar was only language he has probably ever heard—he outlined how the murder was com- Parents Quarreled "Mama was settt in a chair when Spurgeon comed home. He was drunk and mama was out, but late and drinking. They started fussing and fighting and then I heard Spurgeon say: 'Tm going to kill you if you don't leave me' "Then Spurgeon got a knife and stabbed them. He stood and sat at the table, and told him to get the police. I heard a man say that the policeman found the knife in the toilet, and told him the hospital and took Spurgeon to jail." **Realizes Tragedy** All of these details bibliographically Walter, whose wizened little face shows plainly that he realizes the 106 PATIENTS FILL PROVIDENT WARDS Hospital Filled to Capacity First Time Since Opening in 1928 59 Obtain Treatment in Emergency Rooms For the first time since its opening, the wards of the Provident Hospital were filled to capacity, when an average of 106 persons were confined in the institution, last week, officials announced.

Her loved ones tried to have her help some longer, and her devotion to her profession and supreme interest in the welfare of her pupils caused her to return to school.

To her sister she said, "Della, I am happy; I hope you are happy, Sister, you have been such a comfort to me. We are happy together." During her entire illness she was calm, patient and very grateful for all the attention she received in her friends. It is blessed to die bravely and happily.

In the Second Baptist Sunday School and showed her love and devotion for her church by teaching in the Sunday School and later occurring presidents of the Bible Class. Having been baptized early in her life, she worked her final journey to the Great Beyond. She reflected the religious training of her Christian mother and father, for she always possessed a religious attitude and firmly believed in the truth of her life. She realised her Bible often and took an active part in family prayers. This brilliant young teacher was courteous, benevolent and unselfish. She possessed rare judgment, a keen sense of humor, and she endearedly she to the hearts of her friends. She was tinged with the glow of human sympathy that made her a personality of reverence, of imitation and of love which radiated her whole life and taught how one lives, and in her last hour, how to die. God help us to cherish her memory in our hearts and emulate her virtues that we may leave behind us a record of her life, and so lived that when her summons came to join that innumerable caravan which moves to that mysterious realm where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death. At night, she scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust, she approached her grave, like one who wraps the drapery of his couch around and lies down to pleasant dreams.

(Continued from page One) that your vote on this matter will be watched with much interest." The letter is signed by the Rev.

Busy organizations, individuals and their friends to request their United States Senator to ask President Hoover to withdraw the Parker nomination to the Senate. They said that their senators vote against Parker's confirmation, and that Negro voters will hold their senators accountable to vote on the Parker confirmation. New Jersey Joins Fight Bayonne, N. J. branch of the N.A.A.C.P. joined in the fight against Parker sending strong telegrams of protest to Senators Hamilton P. Kean and manatee Senator Baird replied, "I will be glad to give this consideration when it comes up." Endorsed by Goldsborough The N.A.A.C.P.'s first telegram to Senator Goldsborough urging him to vote against the Parker, brought the following reply: "Permit me to say, that have recommended to the President the appointment of Judge Parker, and in possession I feel bound to vote for his confirmation. (Signed) P. L. Goldsborough." The acting secretary Walter White, of the N.A.A.C.P. immediate order of Mr. White's statement read to the subcommittee of the judiciary April 5 in which excerpts of Judge Parker's 1920 speech at Greenboro opposing the Senate vote were forth. Said Mr. White. "If Judge Parker for political advantage can flout two amendments to the state's base race prejudice we respectfully submit that he is not of the caliph which white colored Americans believe is justice of the nation's highest court." One Negro Vote Senator Goldsborough was also sent two telegrams from prominent North Carolinians opposing Parker because he had excluded colored votes from the Republican Party in the 1920 campaign. Judge Parker then was quoted as saying, "I should be elected governor of North Carolina and found it was due to one Negro vote, I would resign." Four Endorse Parker Beside the North E. Shepard, president of the North Carolina College for Negroes at Durham, there are other colored leaders of North Carolina have been found to be Negroes, E. H. Copeland, president of the North Carolina Elks Association, of Winston-Salem; D. M. Epps, principal of the North Carolina Elks Association, of Winston-Salem; D. M. Epps, principal of the North Carolina Elks Association, of Winston-Salem Teachers College. Senator Watson, (Rep. Ind.), majority leader in the Senate, upheld the declaration that Judge Parker really expressed the opinions attributed to him, many senators felt he had too prejudiced a mind to hold For this reason, also, Vice President Curtis took up the matter with President Hoover. Protests to Senators Among the senators who received protests are: Senator Guy G. Goff, (Rep. W. Va.), a candidate to succeed himself, Senator Henry G. Hatfield, and Senator John M. Robinson, of Kentucky, who is said to have 175,000collected cones by Senator Roscoe McCullough, of Ohio. The Cleveland Branch of the N.A.C.P. wired Ohio senators that Parker is seriously objectionable to 90,000 Cleveland colored cones by Parker Circulated In a written defense of Judge Parker circulated among members of the Senate by David H. Blair, white, of North Carolina, former mayor of revenue commission, said he has been obtained from leading Negro educators in North Carolina endorsing Parker as being fair to the Nroerosa. "It was stated that the literacy test in North Carolina had been applied against both white and Nroes." "In the Greensboro speech," Blair said, "it was not proposed to deny the colored people any rights under the law on to discriminate against them." After the adoption of the suffrage amendment they are not attempting to participate in the political state and has been organized to organize them for political purposes. They are going alone quietly attending to their own business. They are apparently following the advice of some of their allies to let politics alone" continued Blair. "Nevertheless, and in almost very campaign: the Republican party has been denounced as intending to put them in power in North Carolina to restore the evils of the reconstruction. "In 1920," the statement went on, "an attempt was made to stir race prejudice by charging that the N.C. legislature intended to organize the Necroes and turn the state over to them and the Parker speech was merely an answer to the charge deploring the raising of the false issue." **Other Protesters** Representatives of the NAACP and the N.C. legislature in protests against Parker. Among the cities heard from are Kansas City, Chanute and Parsons. **Given for Delay** Friends of Parker helped delay the committee's vote on this confirmation. Monday, because a poll showed that a favorable report would be If the issue had been pressed on Monday, friends fear that he might have been defeated. With a full committee present next week, a variable showing might be used for the face of an increasing opposition to confirmation of Judge President Hoover will not withdraw the nomination of Judge Parker. This was formally announced Saturday at the White House. President Hoover, it was said feels that the opposition to Judge Parker is based on extraneous matters.

EASTE 1 2 3 The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly Englishman Quotes Dr. Moton A special correspondent, writing in the African World, quotes Dr. Moton on the church as follows. "The Negro race in America today still has one preached to every 534 people, compared to one to every 400 African Americans, fewer are entering the ministry and only 226 Negro theological students are today studying for their B.D. degree. "I am convinced, however, that the Negro generation is becoming less religious". Dr. Moton asserted. " Their religious leaders are inclined to be too conservative, and the younger generation does not understand the meaning of the religion they are affected just as the white race, and I believe that if the colored young man and woman are becoming less emotional with regard to religious matters they are becoming more thoughtful. The same correspondent reports the rumor that the Harmon award, a gold medal and $1,000 for outstanding contributions of race relations might be presented to Dr. Moton by President Hover. The Rev. W.
