DePriest Cancels N. C. Speech—Trustees Will Oust Shaw Prexy 100 SHAW ALUMNI ASK PRESIDENT PEACOCK TO QUIT Trustees Meet in New York and Pass the Necessary Resolution PEACOCK PEEVED Declines to Shake Hands with Alumni Head NEW YORK. — The board of trustees of Shaw University, Raleigh, N.C., met here April 25, for the purpose of considering the many protests which have been made anent the present administration. The alumni association sent a delegation of five to make its plea for the removal of the president, Dr. J. L. Peacock, white, and the reinstitution of the summer school which had been suspended by him. Before the conclusion of the meeting, the delegation was assured that the board would ask the President's resignation and it was so recorded in the minutes. L. E. Graves, secretary of the Eagle Life Insurance Company, made a convincing plea on behalf of the alumni, and afterwards laid before the board more than one hundred telegrams and letters of protest which had been received from alumni all over country. Other members of the delegation were W. S. Creecy, Rich Square; Dr. J. B. Davis, N.C. Baptist Young People's Union head, and C. E. Lighter, alumni president. They called to the board's attention its decision last year to have President Peacock resign in when he had completed his ten year. Broughton, white. Raleigh attorney and the legal advisor for the university, made a fervent plea for the ousting of the president. Broughton said not only should President Peacock resign, but it was necessary, that a Negro should be named in his place. He said: "For one to be a successful president of a college it is necessary that he go around with the students and parents of the students with them, and such a impossible for a white man." He said the policy of the South is to let the Negro lead the Negro and that there could be no bright future for Shaw until it was turned over to Negro leadership. Committee Appointed The board appointed a committee of three, consisting of one Northern white man, one Southern white man, and a Negro, giving these men authority to investigate each complaint, and make further investigations if needed, and report their opinions as to the advisability of removing Dr. Peacock. The board voted to revive the department of medicine and pharmacy and to continue the college summer Promises to Resign Dr. Peacock allowed to be read in the minutes that he contemplates resisting, but firmly refused to set aside the minutes when the meeting had closed, the present of the alumni association, Dr. Lighter, extended his hand to Dr. Peacock, only to be denied by Mr. Lighter who apologize for being present at the meeting as a delegate to oust him. Other members of the board represented with Dr. Peacock who also attended the hesitancy, greeted Mr. Lighter. Colored members of the board present were C. C. Spaulding, Durham; M. C. C. Spaulding, Plymouth; Pysaterville; J. P. Turner, Philadelphia; and G. O. Bullock, D.C. Troubles Began in 1927 President Peacock's troubles at Shaw began in April 1927 when Lewis K. McMillan, an instructor in Theology, exposed Jim crow conditions there and Mr. McMillan charged that white teachers were kept in a separate building and ate in a separate dining room with the students and had to clean their own rooms in the dormitories. Of the 20 men in the theological department, Mr McMillan said two-thirds of men needed to go back to the grades. Second Rate President "President Peacock is a second rate president." Mr McMillan said, "His virtues are his mellow voice and the keep while speaking before the students. Subsequently a committee of the trustee board expressed entire confidence in the integrity, sincerity and ability of Mr. McMillan. Despite this white mash, segregation white and colored members of the faculty continued until October 15, when all members of the faculty, colored, took their meals in the same Student Strike In January of this year the student name of Shaw went out on a strike be- came in the newspaper "The Mililane" from the library by President Park and a moving picture "The Mililane" planned for Saturday night, we forbidden The students played out eight hours.

The royal queen of France, birth to a colored child, who the Library of St. Genevieve Slayer of Pythian Leader Goes Free EVANSVILLE. Ind. — Luther Bell, confessed killer of Ernest G. Tidrington, local politician and supreme vicar charceller of the national Pythian order, was given freedom by a jury here full. The cello had been indicted on the charge of second degree murder, pleaded self defense. Widow in Morning Mrs. Tidrington, widow of the slain political leader, with her son, Hurley beside her, sat clad in mourning inside the court railing. The wife of the one-haired killer who killed him at the trial. Their faces beamed and they hugged each other as the verdict of not guilty was brought in. Man after man sat in the witness chair and told stories of tribute paid for the killer's threats, of beatings with a blackjack which he had given his enemies, of great malice and frustrated ambitions, of his vaulted lordiness over the courts and public offices of the city. Family between Bell and Tidrington was traced to the time when Tidrington blamed Bell for the failure of the school commission to name the school after Tidrington. From that time the school was vetted and Bell corroborated: Tidrington oppressed him, at every opportunity. On the night when he ran out of his pool room and fired the shot that ended Tidrington's career, Bell claimed that the things Tidrington had done, and the things he did not know what he was doing. The officers who arrested him testified that he acted as a man of unsound mind. Consequently, the jury, after deliberating carefully, twenty minutes found him not guilty and recommended that he be examined to determine the state of his mind. Garvey Denied Theatre, Addresses 6,000 KINGSTON, Jamaica. — Marcus Garvey, denied permission to make an address in the Municipal Theatre in the city, sons in the open air and in some of the theaters, Sunday of last week.

Despite the fact of general poverty, Garvey said the Jamaica Producers' Association was voted $1,000,000 out of the general fund, and sugar planters, $400,000. "Yes, they got theirs." Garvey said, "and the Negro people, must get ours."

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, May 3, 1930 MOTON GROUP HOOVER FORCED FAILS TO ATTEND DAVIS INTO ARMS G.O.P. CONFAB OF KU KLUX KLAN 25 Delegates from Nine States Meet in Washington Rep. DePriest Says He is Suspicious WASHINGTON.—What is regarded here as an effort on the part of administration forces to start organization among Negro voters for the next campaign, took place Friday evening when twenty-five leaders from nine states responded to a call signed by John R. Hawkins, former chairman of the colored voters' division in the Hoover campaign. The organization, which assumed the name of the National Negro Republican League, elected Mr. Hawkins chairman and Charles E. Mitchell, of Institut., V. Va., secretary. Followed Protests For some time, according to a statement made by Dr. Hawkins, the Republican leaders, have failed to keep any active official connection with the colored division, despite appeals to former chairman Hubert Work and the present chairman, Claudius Huston, of the Republican National Committee. This, together with the growing discontent evident among the rank and fill of the Negro lead, and voters, became so disturbing, that Mr. Hawkins and other leaders were about to take direct action as to their future connection with the organization, it is said. Finally, according to Mr. Hawkins, he, Dr. Emmettt Scott and Judge James A. Cobb received this discontent from the General Walter F. Brown, who gave his sanction to the organization which was called together Friday. Administration Body Although Mr. Hawkins preferred not to call the organization a purely administration body, nor state that administration came from administration sources, he admitted that it was strictly a Republican organization of colored voters which would be active state where Negro votes counted. DePriest Skeptical Although Morris Lewis, secretary to Congressman Oscar DePriest, was among those invited to the meeting, and congressman, the AFRO-AMERICAN learned from absolutely reliable sources that the Congressman was somewhat skeptical as to the organization. The Congressman himself told the AFRO that it would have absolutely no affect upon plans for an organization started by him recently. He also pointed out that his organization would be a people's movement, and would not in any sense be tied to the organization. Parker Fight While it was also learned that some of the men called to the meeting were opposed to the confirmation of Judge Browne's organization did not grow out of this light. It was admitted, however, that the Judge is confirmed by the administration leaders. It would be an enthusiastism of some of the members. The meeting contented itself with organizing and took up none of the details of the questions now prominent before the country. Many Not Called Observers in Washington count the meeting of significance not only because of those who attended, but because of those who did not attend. None of the so-called "Moton group" was called to the meeting. Even Mr Hawkins's former associate and secretrer Holsey, was absent; it was pointed out. Men like Robert R. Church, Walter Cohen and Benjamin Davis were also not invited to the meeting, as explained by his friends as being forced by Postmaster General Brown, who sanctioned the meeting. It was also understood that the Postmaster General would be told that all outstanding Republican leaders be called into the parley. Mr Hawkins said that delegates expenses not paid by the National Republican Committee. Baltimore Represented That Maryland, and Baltimore in particular, was well represented, was shown by the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Young, Counselman Walter S. Emerson and Dr. Ernest Lyon. Counselman Emerson stated that he attended as an invited guest and paid his respects. Among those present were Dr. Emnett J. Scott, District of Columbia; Hubert Delaney, District of Virginia; W. H. Wernick, District of Columbia; Miss Nannie Burroughs, District of Columbia; R. J. Ransom, Fansas; Rev. R. J. Crawford, Missouri; Bishop John Gregg, Kansas; R. J. Ransom, Fansas; Rev. R. J.

Georgia's Political Battle is Strangest Seen in Recent Years FEINT SUCCEEDS Davis Quits Lily-Whites at Last Minute (AFRO Staff Correspondence) ATLANTA. — Fooling the illy-white Hoovercraws, who until the last moment expected his support, Ben Davis, former Republican National Committeeman, switched to M. O. Dunning, white, Ku Klux Klan leader in the State Convention. Dunning was in Washington last week seeking to descredit J. T. Rose, director of internal revenue at Atlanta. It was understood that Mr. Davis would stand with the Rose faction in the Republican State Convention held in Atlanta two weeks ago, to which Postmaster General Walter F. Brown sent a personal representative. But when the stormy convention ended the Davis-Dunning faction had elect-officers and formed a state organization of its own with Mr. Davis secretary, Ilyl-ily-white faction elected all white officers. Dunning, the former Democrat, paradoxically is demanding "justice" for the Ben Davis faction and assailing the 100 per cent Ilyl-white organization. Raided White Numbers Baron, Cops Ousted DETROIT. — Four colored detectives operating in plain clothes have been put back into uniforms by the police department here because they raided a white numbers baron. Early in the first two detectives ousted when they took in 62 high-powered salesmen of the Hollywood policy system owned and operated by whites and had funds of $900 plastered on the walls. William L. Fowler and Wash R. Hardy, who took their places, were also ousted when they arrested 49 persons, including 20 by the white numbers baron. This time the public raised such an alarm that the last two named detectives were restored to their former positions. Only time the numbers game was operated entirely by colored people, but they have been forced out by the high-powered whites who are run by the collision of the city authorities. Pastor's Son Freed in Love Suicide CHICAGO. — William Reddick, son of the Rev. G. P. Reddick, of the Morgan Park district, was freed when a coroner's jury investigating the death of Mrs Vernon Reddick, a woman came to her death by her own hand.

Williamson told the coroner's jury that he had only discovered his wife's love for Reddick after her death and although he had seen her wearing ring, he paid no notice. He declared, came after his wife's marvel with Reddick. Fleming Case Goes to Supreme Court CLEVELAND. — The fight of former Councilman Thomas W. Fleming to escape a prison sentence on a bribery charge, will be carried to the U.S. Supreme Court, according to a statement by Martin obtained a 10-day stay of execution of the sentence of two years and nine months from the Ohio Supreme Court which upheld the conviction for the second time in a former city detective, who accused the former councilman died here recently.

LOUIS, Mo., (ANP.) — As a result of unwise speculations and poor business management, the Mid-West Life Insurance Company, with about 100 employees, was taken on over last Saturday by the Missouri State Insurance Department for liquidation. Failure was due in part to a St. Louis insurance company disposed of $22,000 in company securities so that the company only received $7,000 when the broker took $15,000. Adolph Thym, white attorney, has been appointed by the court to wind up his business. Policholders will be protested from loss and probably will be reinsured with some other company, but stockholders may lose something. The Missouri death claims, protected, however by a reserve fund of $140,000 on deposit with the Missouri Insurance Department. MARSHALL. Tex. — President Rhoads at Bishop College has deserved the attention of a woman member of the faculty and a college student who were discovered by the police spooning on the steps of the white high school here last The reasons for his dismissal could not be ascertained as both Counsel Paige and the office of the State Attorney seem unwilling to discuss the matter. By E. W. BAKER, Staff Reporter Addressing 2,000 persons in Shiloh Baptist Church, Baltimore, Tuesday night, Oscar DePriest (Rep., ill.) spoke in part as follows: "I have heard the gentleman representing the mayor speak about the great things the Negroes are accomplishing in Baltimore. I hope they will not get the substantial things. I hope they are substantial and not shadowy. "I am going to tell you that you will not get the substantial things, however, until you learn to organize and follow your leadership. You must learn to select your own leaders, and not have the white men select leaders for you that he can control. "But the white man is doing just like the black man, so I select them just as he is doing. I would choose whom I could control." Mother and Father Slaves "Some of the race have not yet learned to depend on each other, but I can understand why they have not. I understand because my mother and father were slaves in Alabama. I have always said if God would forgive me for being born there, I would never return. Our people were taught during slavery that everything that is black is evil. Some Negroes believe it yet. They are mistaken in that belief. You were also taught that everything is innocent. That is also a mistake. There is some good in every race and some bad. The black race is no exeption. We all over America must get together and quit adopting the attitude that if I can't do a certain thing, another Negro must not. Only Negro Can Represent Negroes Negroes had not placed me there They did not send me because I was better than someone else. They sent me to the office. They been him-crowed, segregated and persecuted can represent them. Only a person who can understand the handicaps of the race can sympathize. Jim Crow, Poor Athletic Teams, Mail Opening to Blame AUGUSTA Ga.-Students at Paine College are supported by the white A.M.E.

The students, who had been starved out when the dining room closed, gave up when they were proclaimed immunity and restoration to classes. For several years students have refused to take biology because of the inefficiency of the head of the department. The faculty includes both white and colored.

After they were arrested, they told police officers Johnston was not the man they had intended to at- But if he has not walked into a place of business and been denied service because he was a black man he will be mistaken. Because a man likes John or some other individual will not help solve the problems in which the race is interested. **Parker Case** "I can appreciate how President Herbert Hancock makes me mistake and select a wrong man. But I cannot appreciate the fact that, despite the great protest against the confirmation of Judge John J. Parker as Supreme Court should refuse, to withdraw the name and correct the mistake, I was sorry to hear in the Senate mourn some Negroes in North Carolina had sent letters to Senators requesting the confirmation of Parker. Those letters were published in the Congressional Record on Tuesday morning. James Carolina Speech "I had the occasion to receive a letter about two months ago from one of the gentlemen representing the National Negro Tailors Convention which held in Richmond on August sixth I canceled the invitation Tuesday morning. I want nothing to do with it. I do write a letter if the letters in behalf of Parker represented the real sentiment of the tailors on behalf of Parker to call my engagement. "Do not propose to associate or affiliate with any Negro that forgets the Negro. We have too many Uncle Toms. Tom Tom is dead and buried and I pray that he shall not be resurrected. "In writing to the gentleman in question, I told him that he should speak at the convention. I also stated that he either believed in white supremacy or had been bluffed and bulldozed. Remember Goldsborough "You Senator. Parker's nominee. I think his name is Goldsborough. The only thing left for you to do is to send him telegrams protesting against him if he does, then you should have a good memory. "I wonder how the race would have fared if there had been a few more fellows like Parker sitting on the Supreme Bench.

Nominee Crawls in an Effort to Get High Court Post NEWSMAN HALTED Finds Later it was Parker Himself (AFRO Staff Correspondence) WASHINGTON. — Smarting under the scathing indictment and stunned by the terrific onslaught of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Judge John J. Parker, Hoover's nominee for associate justice of the Supreme Court, has made an attempt to crawl back into the good graces of Negro voters in a letter made public and read into the Congressional Record, Monday. Although first ignoring the appeal of the Association when it asked him to comment on the authenticity of the statement attributed to him in the gubernatorial campaign of ten years, he reported to have stated his opposition to Negroes participating in Republican politics, Judges Parker now declares, "I have no prejudice whatever against the colored people and no disposition to deny them their rights or privileges under the Constitution and the Flight Grows" Despite this, however, the fight to bar him as unfit to sit on the Supreme Court bench, broke out with renewed fury in the Senate. Monday, when that body began the debate following the adverse report of the Judiciary Committee. In the meantime, telegrams of protest have poured upon Senators in a bid to prevent the Hoover administration leaders have little hope of putting the confirmation through. Moton Protests Among new protests reaching the capital this week was a letter from Principal Robert R. Molon of Tuskegee Institute. When the Senate debate opened Tuesday noon, Congressman Oscar De Darling convened with members and adding in the fight against confirmation. During the seating indictment made by Senator Borah (Rep. Idaho) Congressman DEpriest sat directly behind him, he accused the evident intention of Senator Borah to concentrate his attack on the labor record of Judge Parker, declaring that in his decision in the "Yellow jacket" case in which Judge De Darling contract which prevented a worker from peacefully belonging to a union, Parker had "stood for all the things we have outlawed and legislated against since we had a congress" was the proponents of Parker, themselves evidently conscious of the opposition his ill-yellow election stand had brought against him, who sought every opportunity to state that the Hoover nominee "would stand by us as regards the rights of Negro voters." Parker in Fight That Parker himself is in Washington actively conducting his campaign for confirmation was revealed last week when Robert S. Koehler, a professor, filling an assignment for the AFRO-AMERICAN in the office of Senator Overman of North Carolina, was stopped by a man who proclaimed, "I'm a people," this man is quoted by Mr. Pelham as saying, "are making a mistake in their attitude against Judge Parker. I know that there are no feelings immoral in that day. It was not until the following day." (Continued on page 4, column 7.) How Parker Ate His Own Words In 1920 in his campaign for the governorship of N. Carolina Judge Parker said: "The participation of the Negro in the source of evil and danger to both races and is not desired by the wise men in either race or by the Republican party of North Carolina." Last week in his effort to get on the U.S. Supreme Court before the Court, I "regard the Constitution and all of its amendments as the fundamental and supreme law of the land, and I deem it the first duty of a judge to enforce and effect of their provision." I at no time advocated denying them the right to participate in the election in cases where they were qualified to do so, nor did I advocate them any of their rights under the Constitution and laws of the United States. "I in conclusion let me say that I have no prejudice whatever against the Colored People and opposition to deny them any of their rights or privileges under the Constitution and the laws."

D. Redmond, chairman of the Mississippi Republican State Executive Committee, made the following statement this week in reply to Senator Smith Brookhart's report to the Senate and his speech over the radio a few nights ago on his Federal patronage investigations in the South. Redmond said: "We had decided to wholly disregard Senator Brookhart's charges, but since the Senator was not content to make his report to the Senate, but has undertaken to take his slanderous personal views to the American people over the radio. I feel it my duty to say a few words to the Mississippi publican organization. "Senator Brookhart says that he found patronage conditions in Mississippi in an awful condition, that offices were being sold there to the highest bidder. Senator Brookhart knows nothing about patronage conditions in Mississippi. "He was appointed two years ago to investigate patronage conditions in the South. He attempt to find the cause of Mississippi conditions, when in fact Senator Brookhart has never been in Mississippi but it is said he has contented himself to sit in his swivel chair in the South. He attempt to find the cause from Mississippi who I am told, told the Senator that he had paid Perry Howard for his appointment, though I know it to be a fact that this same lone witness had previously sworn he had never paid a perk for his appointment to any one whatever.

Shriver was Perry Howards secretary and that Howard was getting so much money from the bank that he would place $42,000 of it to the credit of John Risher, his secretary, in order to conceal it. "This whoever secretly sent Perry Howard a day in his life, never wrote a letter for Perry Hoard in his life, and Howard's father's name in his life, and the Senator's views on this are based on mere suspicion and not facts for Howards and Risher's identity and always have been, as John and Brookhart's. "It is more than passing strange that the only Senator who continues to denounce the Negro Republicans in the State of Iowa, which is the domicile of the Edward Hines Lumber Co., said to be the biggest lumber company of the country and is one of the largest businesses in the State of Mississippi, and it is said that certain attaches of this big corporation have been most active against these Mississippi Republicans with the aims of controlling the State of Mississippi, themselves." "As to Howard's employment by the Pullman Company, this was with the knowledge and consent of the then Attorney General and conflicted in no way with the interests of the Government."

Assumed to Take Rear Seats Philadelphia Terminal Station Men Alight and Take Train for Washington WASHINGTON-Damage suits will be filed against an instatestate bus company, unless the ejection of two Washington University students from a bus bringing them here because of their refusal to take rear seats is satisfactorily settled, Howard & Hayes, attorneys for the students, stated Monday. The two students, Martin Cotten and Vivian Coombs, were returning from New York City over the Colonial Stage Line, according to their statements to their attorneys, and had to change coaches in Philadelphia when they got into the coach that was to bring them to Washington; they took front seats. The conductor ordered them to move back and give their seats to white women, telling them that colored passengers were required sit in the rear. The students refused to take rear seats. The conductor called a policeman, who put his hand on one of the boys and told them to get out of the coach. They came to Washington on a train and brought with them their tickets for the trip on the bus. Attorneys Howard & Hayes accompany immediately and said that if the matter is not amily adjusted, they will bring suits against the company in behalf of the two students. G.O.P.

C., (CNS)—Colored women were excluded here from the Women's Political School of Washington University in Lehigh Republican Women at the Willard Hotel last week.

Miss Nannie Burroughs, member of the State Central Committee and president of the National League of Colored Republican Women, is unaware of any request for a separate school or of acquiescence in such an arrangement by any of the colored women.

ANXIOUS SENATE GETS WHITE HOUSE TOLD Hoover, who has Constantly Disregarded Negro Welfare, Wakes Up 34 ELECTIONS NEAR Negroes Can Defeat at Least Seven WASHINGTON—Whether the Senate confirms or rejects the nomination of Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, the determined fight waged against his confirmation will be beneficial to the Negro politically. Senators have gone to the White House and advised the President of the reductive of Republican regimens to vote for confirmation of the nominee because of fear of reprisals at the polls by Negro voters in the coming Senatorial elections. This information has made the President aware of the fact that the Negro vote represents the balance of power in border, northern and middle western states, in which Republican seats are regarded as most doubtful. This Year's Senatorial Crop This year's Senatorial elections will fill seats now held by Senators J. Thomas Heflin, Democrat, of Alabama; Joseph T. Robinson, Democrat of Arkansas; David G. Poston, Republican of Colorado; Daniel J. Hostings, Republican of Delaware; William J. Harris, Democrat, of Georgia; William E. Borah, Republican of Idaho; Charles S. Denen, Republican of Illinois; Daniel P. Ticot, Republican of Iowa; John J. Allen, Arthur Capper and Henry J. Allen, Republicans of Kansas; J. M. Robinson, Republican of Kentucky; Joseph E. Randall, Democrat of Louisiana; Arthur R. Contra, Republican of Maine; Frederick H. Gillett, Republican of Massachusetts; James Coussé, Republican of Michigan; Thomas D. Schall, Republican of Minnesota; Pat Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi; Thomas J. Walsh, Democrat of Montana; George W. Norris, Republican of New Hampshire. David Baird, Jr., Republican of New Jersey; Sam G. Bratton, Democrat of New Mexico; Furnild M. Simmons, Republican of North Carolina; Robert McCulloch, Republican of Ohio; W. B. Pinc, Republican of Oklahoma; Charles L. McNary, Republican of Oregon. Joseph R. Grundy, Republican of Pennsylvania; Jesse M. McCall, Republican of New Mexico; Colman L. Blene, Democrat of South Carolina; William E. Brock, Democrat of Tennessee; Morris Sheppard, Democrat of Texas; Carter Glass, Democrat of Virginia; S. J. Soll, Republican of West Virginia; and Patrick J. Sullivan, Republican of Wyoming. Doubtful Seats The Republican seats regarded as most doubtful are those now filled by Senators Baird, Pine, Robison, Goff, Phipps, Gillett and Metcalf. Senators Goff, Phipps, and Metcalf will not be nominated in the nomination in the primaries in their States. In these doubtful States with the exception of Rhode Island the Negro vote will be the decisive factor and the President has been advised of the uncertainty of the Negro not only in the Senate but Congressional electio Hoover Callous The White Husse had been oblivious to the Negro vote. As a presidential candidate Mr. Hoover offered no promises of retiring the short time he was in office. In the fourteen months that he has been in the White House he has almost totally disregarded Negro Republicans. Not a single outstanding statutory appointment has The fight to make the Republican Party lily-white has been steadily going on. The latest effort is being made in Georgia, which is virtually the last stronghold of so-called "black and tan" organizations. Judge George Makes Gains in Canvass CHICAGO, (ANP). — While it is will be early to predict that Judge CHICAGO.-All still too early to Albert a hat he has won re-nomination for the bench on the Republican ticket, the official canvass which is now being made indicates that she r i g h t chances for his success. PETER H. According to the police returns, Judge George lacked three thousand inmates among the corrupted twelve who were to have been nominated at the primary. The committee conducted, he has gained more than these three thousand votes, some districts, while others. As far as the canvass had progressed Wednesday night, he was eleventh on the list, and he chose to lose this position when the canvass is completed. The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, May 3, 1930 Official representatives of the National Baptist Convention, Inc., were on hand instead of the president, Dr. L. K. Williams, scheduled to speak to a joint meeting of Baltimore and Washington Ministerial bodies in Washington, Monday, and ata mass meeting, held under the auspices of the United Baptist Missionary Convention of Md. here, Tuesday. The Rev. J. H. Brannon, first assistant pastor of the Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, of which the Rev. Mr. L. K. Williams is pastor, and Mr. W. H. Moses, national representative, were in attendance at a local meeting in which Rev. Mr. Williams telegraph of regrets to the Washington-Baltimore aggregation. Pierson Affair Embarrassing The Rev. W. H. Moses, who delivered the address in the place of Dr. Williams, said in regard to the Pierson murder: "It is the most embarrassing thing that the convention has had to face in its history, but we are not inclined to fault our own men. If any of the books are out of order as stated by the press in several instances, I do not know anything about it. All such reports have come from the gutter. The appointment does not begin to fill all the appointments he is asked to make, but it was his intention to come to Baltimore. The affair has caused a great deal of disturbance. It has come at a very critical time, and may cause trouble with our creditors at the publishing house. We thought it best for Dr. Williams to stay on the stump." The Rev. Mr. Moses further stated that the third Sunday of this month has been set aside as "prayer day" in order to pay respect in the ranks. He said that they were thinking too much of money and that the dollar meant more than anything else. S6.000 for Building According to the Rev. J. H. Brannon, one of the largest of Chicago's buildings is being rented for the conference to be held in Chicago, August 14 to 24th, at a rental cost of $600 per day.

C, W, A, Jr. B. CHARLES W. ANDERSON, Jr. By CHARLES W. ANDERSON, Jr. The bishops of the A.M.E. Church, who meet in conference at Washington several days ago in what they called the "Hooray for approval of the Hoover administration, did not by any means voice the sentiment of the young Negro. The bishops' political way of thinking, which is the minds of the young and 'new Negro' of today, are a political mis-fits and a handicap to the political possibilities of the younger generation. A glance at the expressions uttered by the bishops amounted to the conference, their political records, and political ways of thinking is sufficient to show that they are political handicaps and mis-fits to the political future of the Negro. G.O.P. Knows Bishops Will Stick The bishops can never expect to advance politically until they become a group worthy of recognition and firm in their stand on questions affecting the race. No party will recognize a depend upon its vote, at every election. The Republican party and Hoover know that whether they favor the re-election of the president, those same men will be the first to campaign for the Republican party in 1932. One mediocre appointment, six months before the election of 1932, will win the hearts of the bishops and all else will have been forgotten. Just before the election of 1928 the Mr. Hoover, abolished segregation in the Department of Commerce building, after eleventy years of his regime, and the bishops, with Dr. John R. Hoever, abolished the next "champion of their cause." Hoover was elected President, the bishops produced their usual votes from their congregations as predicted, and some of that woodworm Wilson didn't do. Now the bishops beg him to make one appointment and all else will be forgiven and forgotten. Forty years ago, the bishops held a ball of politics. The Republican party has depended upon the bishops as the leaders in their church to rally the congregations votes and not one other process of procuring votes has been going on for so many years that the Republican party knows that it can sign the bishops as the leaders in one appointment before the next election. Bishop Verron, a former Register of the Treasury, now presiding over the Arkansas legislature, is speaking before the bishops' conference, asked only one favor of the President and that was for one federal appointment. Mr. Johnson for Hoover "cries out" that the Republicans are indebted to the Negro and he wants a show-down. Only a year and a half ago he was elected to the position with the black man. In 1932 this same this satisfied type of "one appointment" advocate will be campaigning for Hoover's re-election. The Republican party is not indebted to the Negro, nor is the Negro indebted to the Republican party or any party. He calls "white" and "black" referring to the color of a man, have no place in the Constitution. Chief Justice Waite, speaking for the Supreme Court of the United States in one of the most famous cases of the court, ordained the word "color" from the Constitution and held that any citizen of the United States regardless of the race, color, creed or previous condition of service may be entitled to holding a federal appointment. The President of the United States upon his oath is duty bound under the Constitution to recognize in the apportionment of the land regardless of race, color or creed. If he fails to carry out the spirit of the Constitution in tendering federal appointments, no man should be down and out of the land. The weapon of the neglected is at the polls, and there should be no compromise. How Many Appointments Would Be Considered Fair? Is one federal appointment, out of the population of over two million people, a fair and just consideration to the Negro voters of the land? Would even five appointments be a fair proportion as to the population of the land? Hoover and the Republican party know that the Negro has not been dealt with fairly. But why should they earn their votes, and that a bishops and demagogue politicians will be satisfied with one federal appointment and therefore produce from their church congregations the usual votes. Bishops Too Close to the Civil War The bishops were born too near the Civil War and possess a rather "Satisfied Tom psychosis." The greatest handicap to the AfAO American born during the Civil War period with a deep-rooted feeling that the Republican party is God Almighty. It is too bad there is no legal way to chloroform that unintended and creeped type of self-appointed race 'leader' The young Negro knows no party by name, but each man by his deeds, regardless of party affiliations. The success of the Negro in Chicago and Cleveland, and of the "Fighting Bob Church" has been to the right of a political stand on patronage jobs or down with the "powers in being"; i.e. the use of the ballot for the man rather than for the party. The Republican party has been acquainted with the bishops for a long time, and they are still statewide. It knows that the bishops are all talk and no action; it knows that a little sugar-coated appointment will be assured that Hoover will heed their Healthy Hair is Beautiful PORO Special Hair Grower Corrects Unhealthy Scalp Conditions Many people think that if they obtain good results with plain Poro Hair Grower they will do even better with Poro Special Hair Grower.

PORO FOR HAIR AND SKIN No Clue Yet to Killer of National Baptist Convention Auditor TOWNSEND SPEAKS Sunday School Head, Denies Jurgling of Funds CHICAGO.—(ANP.)—Ten days after the mysterious and shocking murder of E. D. Pierson, auditor for the National Baptist Convention, whose body was found hanging from a tree on the banks of the Mascatuck River in Indiana, police and private investigators were still at a loss to name those persons responsible for shooting Pierson to death, although there were no documents in investigation which led to conjecture regarding the activity of many persons. At the time Pierson's body was found, two brief cases, containing his reports, were missing, but within three days both of these cases were fished out of the river. This destroyed for a time the theory that the murders had killed Pierson and stolen the reports contained in the brief cases. Discrepancies were said to have been revealed regarding the financial operations of the Herald Public Company, and throughout Pierson's records there were written inferences that he was being impeded in his work by enemies. A man arrested Wednesday night gave the name of S. Robustus. Operatives of the agency took him into custody when they observed him acting strangely around the Pierson home. He was accompanied by a 'man named filias. He was at the police station disclosed that Robustus had been released from Joliet penitentiary in January of this year. He is said to have been arrested for the murder conspiracy, but there is a disposition to doubt the man's sanity and therefore the truth of his story, involving certain Baptist ministers. Statement was made from the Nashville office of Dr. A. M. Townsend, chairman of the Sunday School Publishing Board, and was signed by him, J. C. Fields, S. P. Harris, and J. H. Horace. The statement says, in句 "The $62,000 loan that has been paraded in the papers has created the impression that the loan was of no interest; the matter is the loan was a $75,000 loan and was negotiated quite two years ago. There has been no other loan made by the Sunday School Publishing Board, and taken up and discussed very thoroughly by the directors of the Sunday School Publishing Board and with the late E. D. Pilson, auditor, and was authorized in the regular order of the board that the loan was regular; that the net proceeds went into the receipts of the business and there was no "jugling what a member of the board wanted a dollar of it." The "alleged 'disclosures' or 'findings' concerning this loan and other matters were reported to the board of directors of the National Baptist Church, D. D. at its meeting in Tampa, Florida, December, 1929. The answer to the alleged 'disclosures' or 'findings' was made for the board by Secretary of the Board of Directors of directors held in Memphis Tennessee, February, 1930." Md.

The Minister Who Takes Money or Office for Delivering Campaign Speeches is Prostituting His Sacred Function for a Piece of Silver. BY KELLY MILLER Should the preacher play politics constitutes an engaging subject for debate within the field bounded by the color line. The function of the preacher under the older religious dispensation was that of a sky pilot. to facilitate the transition: of the soul from this world to the next. Less and less stress is now-a-days being laid on the world to come, and more and more the minister is seeking a function which concerns itself mainly with the world that is here and now. But under either the old dispensation or the new, all will agree that the chief function of the preacher is to make men good, and to keep them in the path of righteousness by applying their consciences. In order to safeguard his ministry, the minister must so far keep himself unspotted from: the world that men of all persuasions will look up to him as their moral monitor. This he cannot do if he soils his soul with the lower motive of dirty politics. Politics on the Lower Level Politics has operated on the lower ethical level from the time when Jacob became the head of the household of Israel by swindling his brother out of his birthright down to the election of Herbert Hoover who convicted at the murderation of the 14th and 15th Amendments. A political campaign cannot be successfully run on the Ten Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount and the Golden Rule. Page Mr. Raskob and Mr. Huston. The minister of the Gospel will have all the more wholesome influence on the government if he confines himself to admonishes admonishes from the vantage point of his sacerdotal aloofness. for Preachers The preacher has plausible excuse and labors under enticing temptation to enter the political field. He is the most influential man in his group in most communities. His people look to him for wise leadership, and guidance along all practical lines. It becomes his bounden duty to give service in all matters of moral importance, he does, and of right, ought to, perform his citizenship duty to keep the government in the way it should go. But this is not what is meant by playing politics. Whenever a minister of the Gospel gets into the political mix-up for personal profit, thereby prostitutes his high and holy office. The minister who takes money for campaign speeches or allows himself to be rewarded with office for political success, prostitutes his sacred position for a piece of silver. The face of the Negro church has been all but irreparably damaged by such ministerial indulgences. Bishops on the Payroll During the last campaign even bishops, the titular spiritual leaders of thousands of members, put themselves on the payroll and under the dictation of Work and Raskob, made dictated speeches for or against temperance, at a fixed stipend for each address, not under moral exemplars not under one word against either Republican or Democratic crookedness for fear of their pay checks. What then becomes of their influence? Practical politicians have come to feel that they can approach the ordinary Negro preacher with a price for his political experience, not violence. A Negro preacher accepts office under a crooked politician, he is merely accepting a moral bribe. His tongue is forever broken against whatever crookedness and wrong doing his political chief may deem fit to perpetrate. The Case of a Chicago Bishop There is a certain mayor of a certain city in which lives a certain bishop. They are said to be yoked in political fortune. The bishop allowed his political pal to give him a high office. Whatever crookedness and wrong doings this mayor may be charged with, this Godly bishop must either fly to his defense or keep a salutary silence. The ministers and people under his spiritual care must put finger to the thief the evil doings of the mayor are alleged. The nature moral energy of the people expressed by the predicament of their spiritual overser. Repeated instances of this kind will cut痛; and paralyze the life of the church. What must be the spiritual future of the rising generation nurtured in such discipleship? Should the Negro minister play politics?

Low Mentality Shown by Tests at Cheltenham Industrious youngsters, in certain neighborhoods, Tm told, have heard that the supply of clothes for purposes at the Johns Hopkins University Hospital and some of the others, was falling short of the demand.

Biggest Insurance Co. Insures Millions of Negroes but Employs Few HARRY PACE SPEAKS Colored Companies now Em ploy 4.989 ATLANTA, Ga.—(ANP.)—That available number of Negro policyholders represents a rich and almost untapped mine for Negro insurance companies and that these companies are losing nearly seventy-five thousand dollars a year because of a high degree of shiftiness among their policyholders was the brunt of a message delivered to delegates to the annual convention of the Negro Insurance Association by Harry H. Pace, chief of the Supreme Liberty Insurance Company. Mr. Pace submitted actual and estimated figures covering the major and significant operations of twenty-three Negro companies. 4989 Employed The total number of persons employed by seventeen Negro companies from which full figures were obtained is 4,988. They earned nearly four million dollars in 1029. He stated: Metropolitan at Fault "If a twelve million income can furnish jobs for 4,988 persons and pay them three- and four-million dollars and companies, the Metropolitan owes the race four times as many jobs, for 19,966 jobs, and it ought to be paying to the race in salaries, services, insures, services, services, services, the enormous sums of thirteen million five hundred thousand dollars annually." Mr. Pace asserted. "On the contrary," he asserted "the National Negro is now actually employed by this organization so far as any one has been able to definitely establish." The National Breast Life Insurance Company held the total volume of insurance in force of $73,438,313 stood at the top of the list of those reported on. Other than the Carolina Annual Life Insurance Company, the Atlanta Life, the Suprema Liberty Life, the Victory Life, the Universal Life, the Unity Industrial Life, and the The total insurance in force for all the companies in the $89,787,107 industry and $890,183,500 ordinary. "It there are in truth," said Mr. Face, "there are only of us in America and there are only 897,344 policies outstanding in 17 of the largest companies of the race, ceramic, textile, and leather, that everybody is already insured, nor that they have run out of prospects." Mr. Face then showed that during 1920 there were lapses of $292,535 policies and continued with a word about the wastage costs. "These $292,535 policies that went off the books represented a loss to these companies and cost them a huge cost of printing a half million policies, a small item, no matter whether they are a cheaply designed policy or a bet-on ordinary policy. "The medical examination for the 15,818 ordinary policies included that at least $50,000 and it is to be supposed that some of them cost $5,00, which means that at least $50,000, and these tenteen companies was wasted and of no swain "And to this the cost of inspection fees, the time on clerks is $10,000 and the postage to mail them and we shall be near to a loss of $75,000, even after deducting whatever payments may have been by these lapsed policy- MORE PARKER MORE PARKER (Continued from page One) that Mr. Pelham identified this man as the judge himself. Expect defeat The general election around Capitol Hill is that Parker stands a slim chance of being confirmed. An attempt on the part of Parker's Southern friends to frighten Southern voters will be confirmed by declaring that if he is rejected the victory will be attributed to the fight being made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by the part of those same Democrats that if they vote for him they will be strengthening the Hoover illly-threat to break the former "Solid South." The REMEMBERAN has learned that, while Democratic circles not more than a dozen members from that side of the Senate are expected to vote for Parker and that there is evidence that even some of these cannot be counted on with cer- The general opinion is that the combination of Negro-Labor opposition is made in the administration. When the administration chieftains in charge of the confirmation effort are shunning a discussion of the Negro opposition in the open, it is known private caucuses, it is having its effect. Even Parker has tried to crawl back from under the load of Negro opposition in the open, it plain that this would be no time to further offend the Negro voters in pivotal states. It was pointed out that even the most staunch Negro voters from the party and that few of them, except those with purely self-motives would have the gall to try to cram the threats of Negro voters with the Parker confirmation added to the already obvious act of kicking the Negro out of the councils of the G.O.P. Baltimore Judges Both Judge Morris A. Soper and Judge William G. Coleman, United States District Judges, have sent letters in support of Judge Coleman when the Senate records when the debate started, Monday. An unusual amount of time was also given to the reading of letters and documents from Negro sources. These included letters from the Carolina College for Negros; S. G.

HOOVER FRIENDLIER Heflin Tells why he Support ed President in Last Election WASHINGTON — Railing against the action of the Democratic State committee in barring him from the party primary in Alabama, Senator Tom Hefflin in the Senate last Tuesday repeated his fabrication of a plot by a Roman Catholic and Tammany Hall alliance to control the Negro vote. Only four senators were in their tits his bolt of the Democratic Presidency. The Alabama Senator sought to misleads as the tirade proceeded. Dental candidate in the last election by citing the record of former Governor Alfred McKinney the Negro member of the New York legislative question. While Gov. Smith Helfin said, he supported a bill to compel hotels and restaurants to admit and serve both whites and Negroes and opposed a bill which would prohibit Negroes and whites in New York State. He also repeated his charge that Gov. Smith permitted dance hall to be operated in New York city where "white men danced with white women" and "white men with Negro women." Smith Versus Hoover Heflin also compared the attitude of Gov. Smith and President Howard on the Negro question. Gov. Smith said he would not believe in "social equality." He believed Hoover while a candidate for President in a speech in Tennessee. He in point out, denied that he would have believed in "social equality." Hoover also denied. He said, the report that he "had attended a Negro dance and had danced with a Negro woman." Catholics Want Negro Vole "Nobody denies," said Heflin with the Catholicical group in the United States making a persistent, determined, and desperate effort to get the Negro under "to be compelled to machine," and the first step is to get the Negro in the Catholic Church. "Their leaders have pointed out that the United States through the restricted immigration," which would permit the coming in of Catholics "unlimit'd numbers" from various Catholic institutions of the Indian vote and the Negro vote in certain States. Mixed Schools "The national leaders of the Roman Catholic Church admit," he continued, "that they permit and indorse mixed Catholic parochies where white Catholics are Negroes side by side in the same school, with both white and Negro Catholic teachers. They admit that they permit and indorse the practice of the Catholic Catholics to attend the same Catholic Church and wish to together, and approve marriage between whites and Negroes, and under the Roman Catholic plan that are places where Catholic priests are held. Heinai pointed out that since last presidential election Tammal Congressman had voted to reduce South's representation in Congress because of disaffection with the Representative Jose A.

Charging that the Republicans as a party had given practically no recognition to the Negro in the past he declared that a new order would be imposed, which would cause both major parties to fight for the Negro vote.

COLOR AND RACE FORGOTTEN IN OHIO PEN FIRE 302 White Convicts are also Victims W. C. T. AYRES, Sr. COLUMBUS, Ohio, (ANP.) What is termed the most appalling catastrophe of modern times occurred here Monday evening of last week when fire and smoke swept through the Ohio Penitentiary striking terror into the hearts of the 4,900 inmates and snuffing out the lives of three hundred men who were trapped like a tron rats in a trap. At 4:30 p.m., when most of the men had been returned to their cells for the evening, the fire was discovered in I and K cell blocks — the newly constructed ranges of the prison. Many pathetic stories are recounted of how many men attempted to break down the bars of their cells in an effort to reach a place of safety. Upon the arrival of the many fire companies the fire was soon under control, but not before 319 inmates had died from fire burns and suffo- Guards Cowardly Race, creed, color, and rank were forgotten. Black men, white men guards and prisoners worked side by side. Here a Negro was seen stealing a white prisoner working over the unconscious form of a Negro comrade; guards rushing into the burning building to bring out a convict One of the guards toppled over, prisoners to carry him to a place of safety. Two Killed According to stories told by prisoners, both white and colored, two Negroes were killed when they attempted to escape from one of the cells. This story was related to an Ohio Journal Reporter by a white life-terrorer, who refused to give his life to the prisoners. "This one guard was the worst coward that I ever saw," he said. "I feel sorry for him if he ever shows his face inside the prison again. It is hard to open the gates, but then I and my partner who had been freed by Guard Little, went to this coward and begged him to open the doors and again he refused. My partner heavy hand and offered it to the two colored boys locked in the cell. "The guard tried to take it away from the man, but they refused and the guard got out. The guard said, 'Give me that chisel or I will shoot you, at the same time cursing loudly.' They refused, and he fired twice. We saw both men fall, and the guard run from the tier, taking the keys with "I don't know where the guard went to with the keys, but we heard that he had been arrested by the Warden." Story of the arrest was denied by prison officials, but at the same time they refused to tell where the guard was. Still stories of unhardy bravery of security Guardes Little and Baldwin, who risked their lives in an effort to release many of the prisoners. Securing the keys from another guard they rushed here and there carrying men to safety until they were overcome by smoke collapsed. Carried out 6 More A Negro convict, Tucker, carried out six men before he died. Herbert Caldwell, *r*most of his life, died of others. A prisoner came to the aid of M. P. E. Thomas, white, the warden's wife, when she fainted during the excitement. He supported her on his arm and her and gave her her wounds to receive her. Another story concerning the courage of an unnamed convict. "I can walk, leave loose," said a big strapping six-footed man, three white men from the interior of the cell-block ruins. His rescuers withdrew their support. He straightened up, brushed a brawny hand across a pathetic face and placed the pathetic man in the hospital. He took several resolute steps, then faltered and plunged face downward into a pool of water. He managed to roll over on his side. "I can't walk," he musted, "may stay down." They did. And he waded. Seventeen Negro prisoners are listed among the dead. Two hundred while and colored men who suffered from the disease are confined to the nigerian hospital. Pa.

Our churches are using them for all they are worth and that is a good deal. Women's day in which women conduct the entire service, preaching, taking the collection and acting as ushers is now one of the popular features of church work. Editor and Publisher, 1892-1922. Herbert Hoover's Coldblooded Antagonism Herbert Hoover's Coldblooded Antagonism President Hoover, using all the pressure at his command to force the confirmation of Judge John J. Parker by the U.S. Senate is reported as advising one Senator that he might make up his mind which was the more important to him (the Senate is the favor of the President or the Neo- This latest word from the White House is but another evidence of the Anti-Negro policy of the President, referred to in these columns when Mr. Hoover received his first large colored delegation. The cold-blooded antagonism of the White House, that even Hoover's friends admit is there, has never before, in the history of the Republican party, been in evidence to anything like the present extent. Wise Senators, even those eager for the favors and smiles of the eager house, realize that the final concern is the vote back home. Without that, they cannot hope to be in a position where Presidential smiles can reach them. In other words, no matter how fine the dessert, it cannot take the place of a meal. Senators like Mr. Phillips Lee Goldsborough (Rep. Md.) who announced that he will vote for Judge Parker, will find that out. Swept into the Senate in 1928 on the crest of a tidal wave that elected Mr. Hoover, Mr. Goldsborough will find things different in 1934 when he comes up for re-election. When that happens, Goldsborough must judge that Mr. Hoover is still in the White House, for that will furnish an opportunity to demonstrate which is more important, the favor of the administration or the Negro vote. Cheshire Grin St. Augustine's School, Raleigh, N.C., dedicated a new building recently as Cheshire Hall in honor of Joseph Blount Cheshire, white, Protestant Episcopal bishop of the diocese. He is writing to Senator Oversman (Dem, N.C.), said: "As a life-long friend of the Negro and active in my efforts for his higher education and development, I wish to say that in my judgment, the opposition to Judge Parker's confirmation on account of his attitude toward the Negro is en Readers of the AFRO-AMERICAN may therefore judge of the Christianity of Bishop Chessie, and of the Church of Jesus Christ under his direction will turn out aspiring citizens or experts, in the art of grinding. Don't Judge Hastily "Brandishing their handkerchiefs, half the audience stood up with cries of Hallelujah." "The testimony of various members of the congregation," he added. "Amen." Everybody lished in the revival hymns. "As the preacher performed, the greatest emotion was displayed. Bodies shook and heaved convulsively. Moans were heard from all parts of the congregation which shouted and clapped with abandon. "One woman was carried out in a dead faint; many said that they felt the touch of the Spirit. No ladies and gentlemen, this is not an account of a "culud campmeetin." It is a news dispatch from London describing a revival among white English people on April 2), and was printed in part in an issue of the New York Times. What We Do Mr. E. Franklin Frazier's treatise on Occupational Classes Among Negroes in Cities, recently published, shows Baltimore workers employed as follows: Men Women Laborers 20,923 370 Servants 22,942 6,911 Semi-skilled 5,724 2,015 Skilled 4,085 720 Clerks 340 142 Trade 892 144 Public Service 238 12 Professional 660 543 Total at work 39,870 26,893 Population over 44,967 46,924 10 years of age Baltimore, with 20,923 laboring men, is second to Philadelphia, which has 22,997. Chicago, with 17,548, is third, New York, with 13,858, is fifth — New York (28,937) leads Washington (24,048), Philadelphia (23,444) and Baltimore (22,942), in number of women servants. Baltimore is behind New York and Philadelphia and Chicago in number of colored skilled workers, clerks, and workers in trades. Despite the fact that Washington is the seat of the Government, there are more public service employees in New York City and in Philadelphia, and more professionals in New York and in Chicago. Seattle, Washington, has the largest proportion of men at work — 92.5 per cent. Each city has an excess of women over men except Cleveland which has 16,000 men and only 13,000 women. New York City has 69,972 women and 62,614 men. Proportionately, more women stay home in Cleveland than in any other city. In Baltimore 57.3 per cent of all women work. New York alone (57.9 per cent) beats Baltimore in percentage of working women. New York (21,144) and Chicago (12,666) lead the other cities of the country in male servants. 37.4 per cent of men work in services in Boston and in Seattle (42 per cent). In general, the table shows a larger percentage of men and women at work in the North than in the South. The unemployed — women employed as servants, men as laborers. This was the story of the 1920 census. Daylight Saving for Servants Many Baltimoreans are working hard to put the whole city on daylight saving time. The Voluntary Daylight Saving plan, which affects over half of the city's industries, went into effect. Eighty-five per cent of the colored women who work are opposed to pushing the clock forward for a very excellent reason — they are the domestic servants. Under the new plan servants will start to work an hour earlier (seven o'clock instead of eight). In many cases, the servants leave when the meal meal is finished and the kitchen cleaned. Under daylight saving, dinner is delayed an hour in order to permit the employer and his family to spend the extra time out of doors. The net result, therefore, or sometimes two to the extraordinarily long day of the servant, who must be on the job twelve hours instead of ten, six and a half days of the week. The fact that these domestics are given an hour or two more "off duty" during the day doesn't compensate for the fact they must spend from one to two additional hours away from home. Common fairness and efficient service alike demand that employers treat their servants with the same consideration for health and welfare as their office workers. If the day for domestics must start an hour sooner by the clock, then it should end an hour sooner. Failing in that, there should be additional pay for the overtime, else the new conditions may appear to them more like Daylight Slaving Time. Playing Politics "I am not in politics nor do I play the game of politics," declared Dr. James E. Shepard, president of North Carolina State College, in a telegram to Senator Simone D. Fess (Rep. Ohio) last week defending himself from an attack launched by the N.A.A.C.P. Dr. Shepard admitted to a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN that he does not personally know Judge John J. Parker for whom he wrote a letter of endorsement, and he stated that he would not "recognize him if he came into this room." Asked why he endorsed Judge Parker, Dr. Shepard said, "because he is a Republican and because I do not think President Hoover would nominate an unfit person." If the endorsing of someone whom you do not know merely because he is a Republican, isn't "politics," perhaps Dr. Shepard has some other interesting name of the procedure. And while the doctor is on the subject he ought to explain how he could say in the Fess telegraph, in every fight for the manhood of my race, I have never stood with them (the race)." What a noble thought for an endorsement of Judge Parker who doesn't believe in Negroes voting. Senator Heflin (Dem., Ala.) read into the Congressional Record on April 24 some one hundred seventy reasons why he ought to be re-elected by the voters of that state. Among them were: (57) "Beat up a drunken Negro on a street car, who sat next to a white woman." (60) "Fought for separate cars for Negroes and writer in Washington." (60) "Advocated: and helped bring about under President Wilson, separation of races in government departments at Washington." None of these things is as serious as denial of the fact that the president will. Will Dr. Shepard also write a letter of endorsement for Senator Heflin? Selling Jobs As Mr. Hoover's chairman of the G. O. P. National Committee, Mr. Claudius Huston, has carried out his chief's program of getting rid of Mr. Perry Howard and Mr. Ben Davis who were accused of selling a new postmaster jobs down in Mississippi and Georgia and putting the money into their pockets. With this little matter attended to, Mr. Hoover used a week that Mr. Huston has been using his political position to slip Muscle Shoals—the U.S. Government's big Alabama power plant—into private hands; and that he used $36,100 contributed to the Tennessee River Improvement Association to play the stock market. So, while Mr. Hoover was cleaning up Georgia and Mississippi for the lily-whites, Mr. Huston nearly made off with a one-hundred million-dollar power plant.

No Minority Party Thanks to the Great-Great Grandson of an English Nobleman, But Mr. Dpriest Contemplates No New Party, Instead He Proposes National Organization for Securing Concessions from Existing Parties. To the Editor: Senator Borah, one of America's strongest leaders of minority groups, recently gave his opinion to the minority group, "The major parties offer full opportunity to present issues and carry them into action." There are three major parties in the U.S.-The Republican, the Democratic, the country the policies of each change, respectively. Our group must vote with the party that benefits us and our country most. A new party gathering our country is an increasing political progress. Big business is making room for representation in public affairs in order to harness our votes for those armed candidates. Too long, we have not received Belt ticket, gathered a pauser's handout. A minority or new party has never won and as New Yorkers say, "You can't win." Professor Elmer Ellis, University of Iowa, History, University of Chicago, 1806, 1824, 1836, 1866, 1860, 1892, 1912 and 1924 have failed even with such national figures as Theodore Roosevelt, William Bryan and Alexander Hamilton. Is this not enough? It is not enough, even if our Hon. Congressman DePriest should become its leader. It would be thoroughly non-democratic to organize a party for the sole purpose of alleviating our group's suffering. Regardless of the greatest State of Democracy: is the world. Too few of our group familiarize themselves with the text, history and policies of the respective party platforms because in order to participate from its patronage. Because Republicans give a few jobs to our group in Chicago is no inducement for us to vote a Republican ticket in Boston. But the party is in the casting of ballot. That is a return to the spoils system. What America is waking up to is voting for the party that is alleviating the widespread of numbness in either it be among Irish, Jews, or Russian. While we are fretting over our grievances of injustice, we must not forget that there are millions in other groups who are suffering masses would cause them to look on us as selfish strangers. That would do well in Australia, where all races are respectively represented—but in America it should not. We should expect: full representation but, by voting the ballot of the party in our respective sections that seeks to help our group and group America to rise the bottom rung of the economic and social ladder.

Delaware Bay, Atlantic City. How to be Happy. Though Married. To the Editor: The way to be happy through marriage, as I preach it, is based on three words: determination, confidence, and co-operation, with the Bible as a guide. Determination: Be determined that, regardless of what comes or goes, you have married for life, and not for a few moments, hours or days. Confidence: Be confident that, regardless of what people say, you should not interfere in the affairs with the solenium vow you have made, not to the preacher, but to God. Co-operation: You should co-operate with each other without regard to the matter in hand. You should be aware that Babel that is especially adapted to married folk is the fifth chapter of Ephesius (1st to 3rd verse). We have lived happily for fourteen years by these simple instructions. Tell me what is sweeter. Claims that Bible has Two Contradictory Flood Stories. What of it? To the Editor: Two contradictory reports of the Flood are intermingled in Ohs. 6, 7, 8 and 10 of Genesis. According to one (7-2) ,clean beasts went into the Ark,害 seven; the others, by two (7-8-9). ART OF SEVEN Flooding the world to destroy men is like burn- till rats. ing the gospels up 150 wds, long 25 wide, and 15 high (Gen. 6:15) holds pairs, or seventeen of every living thing.

Where did it go? Eight persons handled the world's greatest menagerie. The carnivorous animals required tons of flesh daily. The Flood story was copied from an old Babylonian myth. Bishop Colenso, translating the Bible for an ancient Oracle, drew the most questions of his native assistant. This limerick immortalizes the event: "To the heretic Bishop of Natal.

And there was no resurrection of the dead during the Old Dispensation and many of the old prophets in their quotations dispense over the slightest hope that ever being any; while Opher praises "if the dead rise not," says Paul in the first Corinthians, 15-16, "then is Christ not risen. If Christ be not raised then is your faith in wisdom, we are, yet in your sins." vain: ye are yet in your mind He also says in the same chapter and the 19th verse: "If in this life only, we have hope in Christ, we are capable." we are of all man's wish to conclude by saying to Mrs. Hugh Mane and all others of little faith, regardless to the law, turn the light on Christ and the Gospel which liveth and let the sayses of dead (Rew.) SLYLWESTER C. BLACKLEDGE, D.D. Washington, D.C. Suffering Negroes Rejoice that Dr. Shepard is the Last of His Kind. To the Editor: Negroes in the South are standing firm in their objection to the confirmation of Judge Fear. They are not willing to accept the offer of a neutral press are grateful to the N.A.A.C.P. and the Negro press for the fight now being waged for them. Men like Brother Shepherd are being opened up by the N.A.A.C.P. Needy openly that he is the last of his kind. This is the time for Anti-Hoover organizations all over the country, for it must not be forgotten that the President who has so signaled by sighs and refusals to place in the country government, also brought this last calamity upon us. He must be shown that he cannot thus scorn the Negro without protest. He cannot either kill or kill-whites, an organization that has no reason for existence except its bate of the Negro, or his sympathies are deeply with them. This is not revengeful retaliation but a patriotic intent and desire for improved leadership. It is also a time for a mammoth drive for membership in the N.A.A.C.P. Southern Negroes are imploring their sons and daughters who have migrated West and North to join such formidable organizations, whose their votes for the There was a lynching here in this State the other night and it presents another evidence of hatred brutally against our people as represented in the media. We tolerate Negroes in political affairs of the nation. At this writing, we do not know positively whether Judge Parker will be confirmed, but whether he is or not, the race has won a great victory in its right to preside over its help and urged to recognize everywhere true and negroes struggling for all the oppressed. Day by Day BY WILLIAM N. JONES Why Not Get Into the Bus Business? That bus transportation is looming more and more as a factor in American industry should be of particular interest to the Negro business group. There will never, perhaps, be a chance for Negro capital to figure in the railway transportation behind it, but there is no reason why we could not get in on the ground floor of the new form of bus carriers. Not only is bus transportation profitable in passenger service, but more is looming more and more profitable in freight hauling. Especially in this latter line is there room for hundreds of companies in various sections of the country to In many sections of the South there is more than enough Negro passenger service between many points to earn handsome returns and wide reach, East and West, there is no reason why Negro operated buses should not prove successful. That the organization of country wide systems of bus transportation would have a wide effect upon Negro industrial possibilities is obvious. like the railroads of the West, they would blaze the way or Negro truck farmers, finding markets for their produce and helping to establish them in profitable farming. It would give hundreds of Negro mechanics, now barred from the railway industry, jobs; it would employ hundreds of stenographers, clerks and others needed to carry on various phases of the work. As to finance, there is not a city of 5,000 Negro men and women who do not to lodge and other organizations enough money of the month of the year to establish a unit of a great bus transportation service. Here again is a chance for ambitious business men to stop wasting worry on already established jobs denied them and get into the bus transportation game. ***** If the Fight Goes to a Finish If the Republican Senate confirms Judge John J. Parker, it will give the Negro in this country one of the best chances he has ever had to demonstrate a fighting front — an opportunity he has never in the past taken advantage of. Already the reaction to this fight is interesting. Farmer John Southern friends of the Judge declaring that if Parker is not confirmed it will be regarded a victory for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This is rather a bold attempt to appeal to "white supremacy" on the grounds that white men should not be influenced by the fight made by a Negro or African-American Then comes Frank R. Kent, Washington correspondent of the Sunspaper, with the more-bold assertion that, while every white Republican and Democrat in the Senate believes the same things that the Negro franchise, some of them may vote against his confirmation out of fear of the Negro vote in pivotal states. This he calls hypocrisy at its height. Here is certainly a suggestion of what Negro in the country should take advantage. If the fight goes to a finish and Parker is confirmed every Negro vote should be recorded in retaliation if for no other reason than to strengthen the feeling that we are becoming a cemented, fighting unit. THIS IS MY LAST KIND OF ADVICE "TO WHICH SOME LEADERS IN POLITICAL PARTIES LISTEN. The velled insinuation that Senators have no obligation to consider the interests of Negro voters in their districts when a white candidate is concerned, leaves no doubt as to the one-sidedness of Kent and others of his kind. His assertion that the eleven Judge who must be selected from the South would have the same opinion attributed to him as that alleged against Parker, that Negroes should have no voting part in the Republican party in a State like North Carolina, is without foundation. There are many men in the South who have reached that state of decent citizenship where they see no reason why the job of obeying the God-given rights of suffrage because he is of a different color from them, but if Kent is telling the truth about the South, then we should gird our armour for a united and finish fight against any judge from that section. Same Old Moon; Same Old Girl Announcement last week end that Dr. John R. Hawkins and a group of high Republicans are getting together the faithful of the G. O. P. for the next election line-up is interesting. Coming as it does on the heels of the long tenure nomination and a long and disappointing stand beneath the plum tree, it would seem to be one of those periodical measures which Republican chiefs侍迎 to in order to "make things right" with the Negro rank and file. It is the same old moon, the same song, and it seems will be the same old girl. It has done the trick so often that the usual customs of the party to kick the Negro dog around until possum hunting time and then throw him bone. We may just as well be frank and admit that these G.O.P. leaders know just what they are doing. The Republican National Committee knows that they could, if they wanted to, commission a special committee to raise general hell and damnation with the Negro, and two days before any election could persuade plenty of us to head movements to herd the voters back into the Grand Old Party. The fact is the Negro is still waiting for that great statesman, who will get the people of the people and who will show the chiefs that they cannot always distribute a few jobs here and a little money there as an antidote to their venom of neglect and party, mistreatment. I may be wrong, but this new move looks dangerously like the Republican Senate is getting ready to confirm Parker.

I think that I if were given a betweenship and did not try to entertain his white audience that, after all, he was a member in good standing or the traditional Negro school of oratory—well, I might go But I do not like monkeylines in public speakers, sup- Of course, it is all a matter taste. My taste chances to run in the opposite direction. Mr. Johnson is an important personage in Alframeda, and like Nannie Helen Burroughs, he is influential. He is in a position he would be interesting even if he did not say "Howd' it Howard, 'chachter" for character "vey" for very, and "Japan" for Japan. These little characteristics speech and attitude whom he leads. And he does lead them most effectively, whether it be in singing of a spiritual with the refrain "glory halluilejah" or the hard-working head of an institution still spoken of in North Africa of Negro education." Dr. Johnson is interesting, too, as typifying the Negro college president: as a rather noisy and blustery pulpit orator of less than profound scholarship; as a man who idealized as a teacher or a clergyman. He is an eerman, just a little pompous and self-conscious in the destiny a blundering fate thrust upon him; but, fortunately for the boys and girls he looks like, he is aware of his responsibility, even if aware also of his inability to fulfill it. Very interesting. Very, very interesting! I do not agree with the Bostoniian who said that Nannie Helen Burroughs and William Pickens, A.M. Litt.D, would make a heil of a fine vaudeville team. The Burroughs paired with Professor Alan Leroy Locke, A.M. Pn.D, in such a venture, if there had to be a team. I doubt seriously, however, that Dr. Locke contemplates going into the public arena indicated such an intention in any of the public speeches I have heard him make. But if he should appear regularly on the platform with Miss Burroughs, I would have Hall the program would contain a balance that it would lack is Mr. Pickens appeared with her. For, although a profound thinker and a man of scholarship, one whose formal education was in the public arena, Mr. Pickens is interesting to m: principally as a Negro who will go a long way to make his Caucasian audience more familiar with Mr. Burroughs' in that his invariably cover a philosophical seriousness. Yet the average white audience would probably overlook this distinction between two speakers whom it would be difficult for Mr. Pickens and Miss Burroughs should chance to travel together on a lecture tour. Secondarily, Mr. Pickens interests 'me as a writer—in excellent English, with a great view of many rewarding many things. There are so few Negroes whose minds ever stray from the narrow grove of conventional and predetermined thought, that when we discover that we are not necessarily dependent we regard it with curiosity, if not with amazement. Pickens's is such a mind. It is his diversity of talents, his penchant for buffoonery, his scholarship, his originality, and his thought—which make him one of the most interesting personalities in America. Julian Rainey I thought that Julian David Rainey, LLL.B, would be a total eclipse for the next four years, he having just entered Boston's legal department, and he would be a prime James Michael Curley's term of office. But I have changed my mind about it. A less clever politician would undoubtedly be obscured before he was in office, but Rainey had not been in office two weeks before he was laying a massive wreathe at the foot of Lincoln's statue, in the face of a half dozen greenpeppers he had greeted him that he was the man who headed the Negro Democrats of the country in the latest presidents' campaign, but all literate citizens only knew the Julian David Rainey still knows the value of publicity. I know Rainey better than I do any other person I have sc far mentioned. We were drafted to Camp Devens together from the middle of December. 19't. to the middle of January, when we were shipped to Camp Upton. Having had a little military training, I was sent to the army. I was acting sergeant of the Negro detachment at Camp Devens when Rainey swaggered, that cold afternoon into the cramped, boxlike orderly cook. I took the pink card and prepared to his record upon it. His name? "Julian D. Rainey" he sang in a dreaded song the effect upon me. But I had never heard 'before' He added impressively: "Julian D. Rainey. Esquire. I should have said. I'm an attorney. I'm a graduate. The Suffolk Law qualifications later." I told him, and thought it well to tell him also that he was NOT Julian D. Rainey. Esquired him. USA. During the course of my writing down the information he gave me, he volunteered that he had just come to the office. Weelger, General Weelger was the camp commander. I regarded Rainey quizzically. Here was a man who had not yet been sworn in but who had been a general. General Wih was he done that? "Well, you see. I'm pretty strong politically in Boston. And my wife was a general. And that, thought I might as well get the best that this man's army had to offer." "Oh. I see. What did you expect the police to expect him to give me anything; wanted him to help me get into the officers' training camp here." I too, had hoped to get into the police, this unstarter, a variety of all milt- The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weckly The kid, will follow the example of 'we b the goat and feed on the same grass'. dence. eary channels to attain the same difficult end. "How'd YOU get to see the general?" I asked, hoping he did not notice the enviousness in my voice. I had a letter of introduction from Governor McCall. The airy nonchalance! He fished a cigarette from his pocket, and lighted it. "No smoking in here! I snapped his coloss. I ego irritated me. He gave me aoccasion ever since. For it was he who got Al Smith as near the White House as Al will probably ever get. It was Julian David Rainey who elected Curley in Boston on April 15, 2013, behind the Curley throne. It is he who advises His Honor in all matters involving nice legal judgment. And it will be he who will out James Michael Curley into the governor's office. He has secret plans for making Curley President. He has not said so, yet. George Schuyler When I first knew George Schuyler, thirteen years ago, at the officers' training camp at Des Moines, I was unaware that his middle name was Sam. Not that it matters more, I'm afraid the story is in talking about him, except that the fact now seems funny. I don't know why it seems funny that George S. Schuyler's middle name should be Sam. Anyway, he was the best for two reasons: he used to boast about being the blackest man in the Twelfth Company (and he was) and he was not only intelligent (a condition usually unheard in a soldier of the reenarm, but inclined toward intelligence.) Schuyler came to Des Moines with a large contingent of troops from the 25th infantry sent to take charge of training the cadets from civilian life. He was a corporal and was rather cocky and smarter than he was, but he was brilliant enough to be regularly detailed as instructor c. the rookies in those subjects too abstruse for the average regular army mar. I did not like him particularly then, and now for the first time it was because of his despotic, cynicism. After the war, I heard of him again, now one of the editors of the Messenger. Most of the cynicism had been pounded out of him or ruthless experience and that which he had done was to me, far prefable. I refer to his mellowed humor and the keen cutting edge of his satirical criticism. Never a protoum thinker. Schuyler has been interesting to me because he has been the one who uses the ideas of others. He is a close and accurate observer, and certainly one of the most effective antidotes in Armeria for self-sufficient and inflated complacency. A thoroughly interesting chap. As I said elsewhere some time ago William Monroe Trotter is an A.M. from Harvard, but succeeds in niding that man. He has written, however, that Mr. Trotter writes, however that renders him interesting, out altogether what he does. More than any other Negro in the United States William Monroe Trotter is to complete Negro freedom. As national corresponding secretary of the National Equal Rights League, he has sent out thousands of protests to Presidents and Governors, to Senators and Congressmen, to lawmakers in authority whose voice might profitably be raised in some Negros behalf. Mr. Trotter is one of those persons who can command appreciation. He gives himself completely to the cause of Negro rights. vet is looked upon with mingled humor and scorn by most Boston's colored population. People who have in some injustice touches them personally; indifferent about those invaluable things for which Trotter has slaved and suffered until he is old, bent, gray saddened, and—still Anv man white enough to join the Pulaski County, Georgia, Klavern of the town, who is decked with the Negro is nothing less than an interesting personality. Walter francis White is that man. South. South. 12 investigator of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. a pleasure similar to that man does set from thumbing at a visible policemen. Walter. The fact that Walter Francis White has not yet been caught, flavors theseexperiences with a pungent spiceness. Ee gets a peculiar delight in the feeling of a peculiar experience in reminding his hearer or his reader that he could be as white in practice as he actually is in name, feature and complexion. He thus this boasting he would achieve a boasting he would achieve a vanity I believe that his chief reason for remaining on the nether side of the color line is the success of the sacrifice he is making for his mistreated darker brethren. I do not mealt that I doubt Mr. White's sincerity; I do not doubt it. If he is actually guilty of my unconscious so far, indeed, would make him all the more interesting. Let me repeat in closing that if I be accused of focussing attention upon only the oddities and the follies of thirteen respectable citizens of the Benighted States of Moronia, I do not apologize. For that is precisely what I started out to do. For it is these traits of character here emphasized that make these persons interesting. Anyone who attempts to assure me that each of these personages has another side is wasting his time; he is giving me information that I already have. It happened that in this particular article I was concerned with only one side. My purpose was to tell why I think certain gentlemen and ladies of color are the most interesting in the country; I have achieved that purpose to my own satisfaction. Week's Poem LIVE AND HELP LIVE "Live and let live, was the call of AfricansSay: "Africans have much in common with us as wif and widom expressed in their prevailed language to their neighbors from the notion that they are in an inferior and barbaric state. In more than one sense, we Americans are less civilized and barbaric than Africans." The Proofreader Talks The proofreader or copy-editor whose school days ended two-score or more years ago, must often wonder what are the present-day methods of teaching pupils to spell, to compose sentences or to primary words and sentences correctly. One may be surrounded by recent high school and college graduates, some of 'hom have majored in Eng. and Math.' and across one whose knowledge—or practice, at least—of the technique of compositor is not poor if not positively impossible. That I ever saw the combination "alright" was in a letter from a senior in college who was specializing in language. I was then nearly sixty years old, and had never seen a compositionist do I think she had—unless it was in the college paper. Professor E. C. Woolley has in his useful little "Handbook of Compositions" that he calls "Faulty Expressions" he euphmetically calls them—every one of them no doubt culled from the writings of his students at the University of Wisconsin. But one can hardly blame the high school that is to be blamed. Evidently there is no insistence on DOING things right—though there is much MARVEL in the third reader, had I written; "The eat drank it's milk" (putting an apostrophe in "its" used as a possessive pronoun). I would probably not have made the mistake of having filled all four sides of my double slate with the sentence written two hundred times properly—as I would have been required to do. In my work at without finding that error—or the correlative error of leaving the apostrophe out when the meaning is practically every matter in which apostrophes ought to—or not to—appear. Furthermore, since few teachers yet remain in service who know what is said as to apostrophes could be said of scores of other symbols and expressions. Ben Davis Spanks Doctor Shenard of Durham When the old fellows squabble young fellows better seek shelter. Ben Davis, in his paper, the Atlanta Independent, took Dr. James E Shepard, of Durham, to task for daring to support Judge J. J. Parker, a lily-white, for the Supreme Court. Listen to Ben go, and, if you don't agree that the old fellow wields a wicked men, why, it's your privilege to think otherwise. (Note the inference that Dr. Shepard belongs to Parker.—Editor.) As a rule, Negro educators who get the paper from the public forces do not represent the highest character and best thought of the Race. As a rule, they are lacking in those many qualities that challenge the manhood of the other Race. They cannot escape the tinge of vacillation that cannot escape the unsoothingly humanity of the white man's superiority complex. Man is the product of his environment in spite of himself. Dr. Shepard has not done himself any good with the whole work he has done. He has been well-written in the regard of his own race. There is no wisdom in butting in where you are not invited. It is not always wise to use your mouth. Better use, if bl�us somethin's, he has any one way and if bl�us some time, he can't go. "The Negress are with the N.A.A.C.P. in its fight for their manhood rights, but pay but little attention. She, Shepard, have never heard of before in their beehall." Keep silent, Dr. Shepard, while the "Associate wins his political and ecological and indictments." (From Alexandra V.

R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, Ala., Institute, and Dr. Mordecal W.

He declined the decline of lynching growing interests of Southern communities in education and continued of Northern philanthropists toward educational and hospital facilities in the South.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, May 3, 1930 Elder Becton Throws Spiritual Brick at The Afro-American N.Y.'s Ritz Evangelist Says his Party could Make More Money on Stage than in Church. English Derby and Bearskin Coat among Pastor's Wardrobe. 17 Pairs of Shoes Explained. THE FIVE MINUTE WAY TO HAIR BEAUTY W. Becton, evangelist, opened his revival last Thursday evening by tossing what might be termed a "Spiritual Brick" at the AFRO's correspondent, commenting upon the article which appeared in last week's edition, concerning his "Grazy Maneuvers." Coats Him $5.00 per Slur. In the first place Becton, "Doctor of Spirits," announced that "the elder is coming this evening, told the coach how he had summoned the said correspondent to come to his home and receive a tip from him for writing what he called a very fine "burlesque" on his spiritual meeting. He then stated how surprises he had called his bluff by doing as requested. He said that his chief intentions were to slur the young man by requesting him to come and get the said man, and he tended when he told him how he would like to have such a fine young man for a public agency, and call an attorney when he said he would like to have a sum that he might be receiving hundreds of dollars for the work he is doing at present for a million dollar firm like Mr. Chur. "Each 'shur' cost him five dollars and how it bu, he." He mentioned the fact that he didn't think the correspondent would try to kill him again after receiving the tip (which he must be to hush money in a way). He figured that the Afro might go a little easy upon him in the next article. He said, "Have a heart. This great organization and myself have worked v.ry. ard, and we have put churches in the South back on their feet again." We were out for money, he said, "I will be a player and make again as much almost as I'm now making." Rev. Beck claimed that it took our brains but the noted Clarence Carrow will ever have to catch him. He said the so-called brainy men of the country. "I must be a good man," said he, "because I'm still going even with the press against me. The article to which I refer isn't hurting my republic, it certainly didn't miss my feelings." He merely laughed off the one which appeared in the previous week, but couldn't, it seemed to the last one, as it seemed to get under his collar. He figured the AFRO correspondent needs to be prayed for and he's going to be prayed. 17 Pairs of Shoes Are Relics Rev. Benckiser said, "I have 14 shoes of shoes to which the article refers, he's had ever since he was a boy. Just as he made that statement a member of the congrection hires to answer to the question, 'What chance to sell them to the Southeastern institution, they belong to the world's greatest Negro evangelist, and have some great history behind them. Don't Need Federation of Churches. Rev. Becton says that if he were a place in New York City large enough to accommodate the crowds which that he is glad he is black and another thing, he is so powerful that he doesn't need the Federation of Churches like all the of the evangelists do. Invites Elise and 400 to stay "Rev. Becton said: 'All of you four speak, who don't understand or like the way I conduct my services can go.' Who don't live in the Consecured Dime idea don't need to drop one penny in the plate, as the Consecured Dime "Suiting me with the Holy Spirit is in the church, and it is not too easy to be sitting up in a church.'" During these Greek letter so-called, he said: "they don't mean anything." He claims that he belongs to one but didn't say which one. Cincinnati Man Threatened to Kill In his talk, Rev. Becton told a tale about almost being shot by a man in Cincinnati because a woman, after hearing his very inspiring sermon concerning unmarried folks living together, sent home and told the man with whom she was living unmarried that she was no longer going to stay with him. Right away the man wanted to know who put that nonsense into her head, and when she told him, he declared she would go to church on the following evening with a 45 revolver and blow Becton's very brains out. Of course the woman knowing the bad temper of the man, got in touch with Rev. Becton immediately warning him of the great danger which was about to come to him. He says he wasn't the least bit disturbed because he knew the Power of God would have so nothing to do about that. The man came that evening as he had planned, the church was sucked to the door, as usual, but Rev Becor went behind the pulpit, as usual, but he made his way through the huge frown and make up on the church, behind the rubbed shoulders with the very man who had planned to kill him, at the church, on gun on his trail. Well just as he did that, the Power of God paralyzed the man so that he couldn't move, at the church, on gun on his trail. Everything went along nicely, and when the time arrived for taking the first one, he was the first one to the person and confessed that he was the person who intended killing the preacher, but he was the first one he had touched by the Holy Spirit. Not a Divine Healer Rev. Becton held healing services last Friday morning at 9 o'clock, when he opened the doors. Dr. F. A. Cullen was among those who were present, and he knew that the Devil would like to say he is a D vine heir. It isn't so, because he Displays Ritzy Attire It is said that Dr. Becton is as a rule in the study of the church some time ago, and he is time for him to make his appearance, but he continues, to enter the pulpit in a very rilax looking to the congregation, and to deny in his hand so as to impress the congregation that he is just coming into the church, and at the same time he has a chance to display his latest attire. At the close of his services, he goes out with still another very warm coat, and his attire almost every evening, that he appears in a different suit for each service. He gives his orchestra to the cause to play "Lower Down the Chair and Let Mee Ride." he struts across the pulpit from one one to the other as he dances and whistles like a "Philloo bird," which by the way has never been another one of these things. Hops on Dr. Brown of Mother Zlon Last Friday evening, he announced that he had been carrying on his service, and that he had been carrying on his service, which time he had sent any number of members to Mother Zlon Church of which Rev. J. W. Brown, a Duluth girl, didn't have enough respect for him to attend at least one of his services after having sent all those folks to him. He was on anyone else, as far as we know.

CALLS IT "WHITE LIE" Believes Negro Will Get Chance to Show Real Self PARIS—Much has been said in favor of "Halleulajah," King Vidor's film, by the leading critics on this side of the Atlantic as well as by the critics colored and white, in America. In European film circles it has made a great stir. Here, however, comes a writer in Le Monde of Paris, who denounces it in no uncertain language and takes severely to task these French critics who have been showering praise on it. Le Monde is perhaps the foremost radical journal of Europe, and h.s. on its staff some of the leading thinkers, among them being Henri Barbusse, Elinstein, and Rene Maran, author of "Batoula." The writer, Sam Brody, just returned from New York, says, "The astonishing explosion of praise that greeted the private showing of 'Halleluja' in America the bourgeois press also called it a war that the author presented in New York: Two theatres were rented for the occasion, one on Broadway for the "superior white Nordics," another in the theater for the Negroes. It was done. It was said the theater with the Negroes the film 'in their atmosphere.' But in reality it had no other purpose than to get the Negroes themselves so that they could not contaminate the fine, respectable Nordics." "It will not be pleasing to those of the crowd who are singing the praises of the musicians," picked his cotton-pickers and actors out of the Harlem night-clubs. Imagine Eisenstein seeking the interpreters of the songs quarters of Moscow and Leningrad. Film Is "White Lie" "Hallelujah is not a film on the Negroes. It is a white lie. It is a miserable example of what white America thinks of the Negro. But Hollywood will not make another film on the Negroes. We do the whites do in the land of lynching, hanging, of Jim Crow, and pouring on oil. "Hallelujah" has been a frost . . . It is indeed to be regretted that the French critics, too often so inspiring, have permitted himself to take their approbation to such an inconsistent mixture taken from right and left in vaudleyy . . . Negro Will Make Showing "The actors will be taken from those who with the ropes almost around the wall, and the guard. In the picture will be shown factories, mines, and plantations. Tragedy in Negro "There is so much of living tragedy in the American Negro that an idea of this sort in a film and played by a man who is a slave to grave error by the powers that be. A film that will show us the convict dens of the South, the use of the lash a lynching be in action, will contain tragedy than a thousand 'Halleluja's.'

Duke Ellington, like so many other successful "professionals", studied one profession and made a success of an entirely different one. He was an art student and still paints whenever he has time for it. Duke Ellington his own design and decorations that will all strictly modernistic. In his dressing room, there are built-in French beds of mahogany panels and dressers of a similar shade. In bold contrast to this dark background, there were two huge diamond-shaped mirrors with flower design, set on edges that match the painted lampshades of thick panelled class. Kind to Mother The most impressive thing about Duke Ellington is the unusually fine consideration that he shows for his mother; anticipating her slightest wish, attending to everything that might possibly contribute to her happiness. Known in Harlem as "The Emperor of Jazz," Ellington does most of his composing at home. "When I get enough money," he says. "I'm going to Washington to live." William Powell is his favorite composer, Louis Armstrong is the greatest cornet player in the race.

(Continued from page One) be able to vote in Baltimore, I would not have been able to vote in Illinois, and would not have been in Congress. Parker is not only against me, but he is against you. He is against everybody with the black people. Gillett on Parker "I heard Senator Gillett of Massachusetts on the floor justy Parker in his attitude on labor. The Senator said he did not agree with him, however, on his stand on the floor. The Senator stated that Parkinson may have had something to do with his attitude but felt that he was broad enough to interpret the law. But I do not agree with Senator Gillett. My attitude be best expressed by saying that I am like the Baptist. Once in Christ, nev- "I think Parker is wrong and will excellent memory even if you have not. Boost Right Leaders "You must learn that whenever you try to hold another Nero down you will have to stay down to keep him down. Boost your confidence. There are enough wrong leaders, but all are not wrong. I feel sorry for the city of Baltimore if you cannot trust some. If you cannot find them among us, you cannot succeed among the women. Women cannot be bluffed or bulldozed. The salvation of the race lies with the Nero women. If you were not for the Nero women in Chicago, It is up to the women to take hold, because I know they want to make conditions better for their boys and girls. People accuse me of being too outspoken and driving our friends away. If that keeps persons away, I do not feel they will put you on the back and do nothing for you. Many tell us we are great people but will not do anything for us. By doing as much as possible better for my boy. When this is done, it will be better for the other boys. Checks up on Senate "The vote on Parker's confirmation will be close. I was in the Senate three hours, Monday and four hours, voting and check votes and let the Negroes know how the Congressmen voted. By my congressional privilege, I am the only one voting in the Senate, sitting in the Senate chamber. I do not know whether they like it or not, but I like it, and I am going to sit there and check it. I will be there with your friends and defeat your enemies." "The Negro must learn like the Irish, Swedes, Itallans and others, to support their friends only, not their enemies on other places, and I do not mean Ferguson either." Measures Every Inch "I appreciate the responsibility resting upon my shoulders. If I make a mistake, every Negro in America is charged with it. The men in the government, they just make a mistake, that's all. Fourteen million persons will be charged up with my error. "When I say to you the thing I do, I have measured every uttered I have said and know how I stand on human rights and justice. I want them to know that we are not satisfied with the existing conditions. If I do not tell them, how are they going to be treated? I stand in their keeping. The average man in politics does not speak out in church because he is afraid he will step on the toes of some one and be chastised. "Mother a Washerwoman "When I was selected to run upon the Republican ticket two years ago Wednesday for Congress all the Chicago daily papers said that the DePriest was off, unworthy, and should be punished with them in everything they said." Proud of Negro Blood "The Negroes must quit being ashamed of themselves. We do what we do not want others to do. If we are ashamed of ourselves, then others will agree with us. I am proud of what Negro blood could be proud of that in your veins. We are too prone to want to get away from each other and speak little of each other when we get with white people. "I would not criticise if I did not think well of you, and it is my ashamed that you are same of yourselves. My will think more of you than you do yourself." Little Recognition "The gentleman representing the mayor said that you were doing so well here. I wonder if you are getting better and more ingenuity to your strength. I do not think the Negro is getting the proper recognition anywhere in America. It is because we have not become perfect enough to work together. We do want to be better. Section 2 of the 14th Amendment states that States which abridge the rights of citizens to vote shall have their representation reduced. This is not the case in Congress has not passed an enforcing act. Congress passed the 18th Amendment and the Volsted act as an enforcing measure. It is a great deal more important that citizens should be protected from drinking. Votes in Md. and Dixie "In the last election, the State of Maryland cast 528,348 votes. You have 528,348 votes. You have numbers this is a representative to every 88,000 voters. Alabama, one to 24,000; Mississippi, one to 19,000; Illinois, 18,000; South Carolina, one to 8,875." "Do you mean to tell me that a man's vote in South Carolina is worth 8,788 more than in Maryland?" "Illinois had a representative superior to each of New York, 10,500; Ohio, 103,000; California, 163,000." "A man's vote in South Carolina is worth 16 times more than in California and 13 times more than in New York. We can never have more votes are equalized. South Carolina elected seven Congressmen, but it did not cast as many votes as Maryland did in one district. It cast around 68,000 to your 528,000 and gets one more Congressman than the State of Maryland. We asked that a Negro in Congress will awaken the white man to his own rights." "I have asked Negroes to pray for me and I believe that the prays of righteous availmeth much. I ask that again that right, not might, shall prevail."

SYNOPSIS Rod Herrick, of Golden Arrow, Montana, has come to Chicago to attend a summer camp to earn money to enter school by fall. His friend, Martin Thompson, takes him to a parade in the city, where Llya, Rod, unused to sooth's ways, treads on the girl's feet and is insisted for a ride to work trouble between the two, takes Rod into the garden where he takes her of his life and a warm friendship to up on them. GO ON, WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER IX "Just 1 minute, young man!" Rod wheeled around to find Alderman Durant facing him, his thin feature, severe. "Yes, sir?" Lyla jumped up and ran to her father as though she sensed that something was wrong. "Oh, Daddy, what the matter? I am the captain of the girl's father observed, directing his glance at Rod and paying Lyla no attention; but I opened to hear what you said. Young man, you know, does not caring with someone which does not concern you which may get you into more trouble than you ever dreamed of. Rod's expression became resolute. Mr. Durent, if you heard me, been saying, you know that I love your daughter and want to marry and I know that she loves me!" The older man darted a quick look inside his daughter. "That's true, Daddy," Lyla cried. "I do love him!" "And you are willing to disobey my wishes even—" the Alderman spoke, then again the incense, broke, then again the incense, even though you know what it means to me—to us?" "Oh no. I've told Rod that I intend to marry Reggie in spite of—or my lover. I don't intend to let her sacrilege herself for anyone, even you!" the youth cried. "Mr. Durant, there must be some way out of this besides masking Lyla marry that fellow." Young man, I have, I politics for twenty years, and if there were myself in which I could free myself of this tangle—which you seem to know about," his voice became bitter," through the efforts of my daughter, whom I thought would trust. I would know I'd pay out." My arms around his back. "I told him about it, Daddy, but I thought I did owe it to him to explain why I must marry Reggie when we've been—so much to each other!" "But you violated my confidence when you told him!" the Alderman wormily. "But丝s." Rod began. "There is nothing you can say, young man! Mr. Durant cut him off sharply. "I can only ask that you say out of this affair can you only mean matter for me, and if what you say out caring for my daughter is true, you must realize that any stigma which falls on me also affects her." Oh, Daddy, surely there must be nothing, my dear," the Alderman said more gently. "Well, I'm sorry that you won't let me help! Rod said, stare at the door, his young son is in hard touch, and intend to give Lola for anyone." He turned to face them. "Even you!" With that the plunged down the hall and out of the front door. "Your young man seems deterred, the Alderman said in a voice which suddenly seemed old and tired. "Oh he's wonderful, Daddy, and I do love him!" Lily cried. "Isn't there really anything we can do so I won't have to go through with "What have you against Reggie?" her father asked evasively. "Before this other fellow came home, I met him. He's looking boy, and he'll be able to give you anything you want." "But I have everything I want. You give me everything I want. I incur Reggie's father's bill—I will have nothing." He spread out his hands in an expressive gesture. "Nothing. I cannot give you anything. Without that gangster Wolf to back him up, I should be able to give Reggie's father the political licking of his life, but—Wolf is firmly interested." LM LEARNS SOMETHING "LM LEARNS SOMETHING" 927 "I let you off once." Wolf panted "But I'll not do it again." THE All-Negro Weekly DARK 927 "I let you off once," Wolf panted that Wolf!" Lyla prophesied. "He beat him up once!" "Yes, and he came near losing his life as a result, too," her father told her. "What do you mean?" Lyla asked quickly. "Rather related how Wolf had abducted Rod and taken him out into the country with the intention of shooting him, and how the Federal agents had saved him." "How do you know all this, Daddy? Rod never heard a word of the girl cried, her eyes frightened." "Never mind how I happened to know it," he replied wearily. "I can tell you that the only reason Wolf didn't do away with the war was because I asked him not to. I knew you liked the boy." "Oh, Daddy!" the girl sobbed, throwing her arms once more around her father. "And to think I didn't know." "Let me down, dear," he begged, his voice pleading. "I will just get through this situation. I promise you I'm going to get out of politics for good." "The mean—marry Reggie?" Lyla faltered. "Yes, I do mean that," he sighed, "Reggie is his father's only interest in life, in spite of the fact that every one thinks he is the boy is concerned he's as soft as mush. He knows that Reggie is in love with you, and if you should happen to turn him down — that would be—my finish. He sagged to a chair, covering his head with his hands. "LYLA CONSENTS" In a voice which she tride to make brave, Lyla spoke. "All right, Daddy. If it will help you any, I will marry Reggie when ever you say." Immediately the man brightened. "Then you wouldn't fail me, my dear child." He rose to his feet impetuously. "The sooner the better, because once Reggie's family and with as bright a smile as I could common. "Whatever you say, Daddy." "Well, let's make it next Sunday," he suggested eagerly. "I'll call Reggie and tell him the glider. He either made his way quickly to the telephone. She was thinking that Saturday night FASHIONS AT DILSEY Rod would have his bout in the ring, and Sunday she would be married to a man whom she did not love. She sighed but did not attempt to kiss her father as he talked to Reggie's father. II Rod left the house in a blaze of angry emotion. In spite of his brave words he had not taken the castephe which threatened. He cast around in his mind for a way to render the Wolf helpless, but no idea came to him. If he soughed him out it would only mean him to be in a physical encounter, as the Wolf would not again allow him close enough to rely on his fists, as he had done successfully that night in the Swamp. BOD GETS AN IDEA Then he remembered the card which the Federal agent had given him, and what the agent had told him. He asked quickly to go to the offices of the Prohibition Department, and lay his case before the prohibition chief. In a short time he had reached the vass, forbidding him to downtown the prohibition offices. Unhesitatingly he took an elevator to the designated floor, and found the room number without difficulty. He asked for the man whose name was entered and was ushered into a small office. The man who sat across the desk he recognized as the leader of the band of agents and that he had abducted him. "Hello there, Cowboy!" the agent greeted him. "How did you know me?" Rod demanded in surprise. "You know you with your picture in every paper for the past two days," the agent laughed. "What's on your mind?" Rod drew a deep breath. "You offered me a card as a prohibition card, the began. "Sure, but you don't need a job here, my boy. Why, you'll probably make more in this coming year," he said, as his agent would amount to in a year—or even two years." the agent advised. Rod's brow was furrowed with thought, yes, yes, this is the skids under Wolf, and I want to put the skids under Wolf, and the only way I can think of is to catch him selling liquor and arrest him." "Oh! So that it's, eh, you pull his pill does not extend to your department—" "Say—we've had our hands full with other fellows, but don't think we haven't got our eye on your gangster friend," the government man told Rod emphatically. "He's our boss, he'll get to another or later. You know the government is slow but sure." **ROD GETS A BREAK** "Well, couldn't you fix it up so I could go after Wolf soon? Right away, if possible." "What's the big hurry, Kid?" "Well, it's like this." Rod told him, relating Wolf's part in the angle which threatened his hatiness, but not mentioning Adlerman Durant's For several minutes the prohibition man sat silent, thinking. "I will kinda be rushing but I guess I must be Cowboy—is it, if you'll get the gang down here some tickets to your fight." He smiled. "Love'll make a guy do funny things, won't it?" Rod gritting abashedly. "So I've proceeded. At least, it does things to me. And I'll see that you get all the tickets you want to the fight." "Okay," accepted the agent. "Here what we accept, since you want to be in on this so badly. We'll拉 the place Saturday night, after your fight—that is, if you're to do any raiding. He chuckled this laugh. "Oh, I'll be all right. I'm not afraid of getting much hurt. I never have yet, and worse things than a guy with padded gloves have been after me!" THE PLAN "That's the stuff!" Now listen. Here's the way we'll work it. You take a party of your friends down to this chap's place—the Swamp Hut. I think I need to get with you already, you can probably badger Wolf into getting you some liquor himself. Ask him if he's afraid to do it. Tell him that since he's boasted about his pull so much, he'll serve a little liquor to an old friend. That'll get his goat, and if he falls for it, all you have to do is to arrest him then and there, and I'll have my men there ready to do the rest. And I think I can it. It so bonds higher than he'll be ready. "Gee, that's great!" the youth exulted. "Gee, I'm in your dressing room right after your fight, then," the agent planned, "and then I can give The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, May 3, 1930 Husbands are to be Blamed for Cold Wives Have you a puzzling love affair on which you need friendly advice? Write to Julia Jerome, care of this newspaper. If you wish a personal reply please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope. by Julia Jerome A discontented husband from Chicago asks a question. My dear Mrs. Jerome: I have been married a year and it has been a very unsatisfactory year at that. Mary is a beautiful girl. That's all. She was just out of a convent when I married her and is still as cold as a saint. I thought it would wear off with marriage and she would become more human in time but I have bees disappointed. She is today the same beautiful marble-like child that I married. She does not know how to dress, or to dance or to love. I am seriously contemplating leaving her but I hate to hurt her like that. Still, I cannot live on as we are. What shall I do? EXASPERATED HUSBAND My dear E. H., why not try teaching her to dress and dance and love? is your duty to awaken me to the world of art. I gather an word of the world. Then why did you marry such a cold creature, if you did not like the chill sweetness of a saint? The old-fashioned girl, so she added-fashioned husband it is up to you to teach her what you want her to know. Do not frighten her further into her marble tower by any unnourished speech or manner; or manure it ready downstairs. But be gentle and make her feel that with her and make her feel that for both your sakes she must accept and enjoy the physical side of life. Buy her some dresses of the type that she will admire and soon she will be building the same kind nerself. The latest school of psychology, behaviorism, says that all thought and desire is muscular and that human beings can be trained to like anything by repetition. Try it. you the lowdown on what's going to happen." Rod left the office feeling much better than when he was working, able to circumvent the Wolf—to render his sharp fangs harmless. With Wolf out of the way, Lyla's father would be freed of his entanglement, but would be free to marry him. Rod thought exultantly. So engrossed was he in his plans that when he bumped into a man who was coming up to the corridor he scowled and would have withdrawn, but he was a gratitude which he well remembered broke through his abstraction. UP JUMPS THE WOLF "Where the hell do you think you are going. Big Boy!" Rod looked up quickly to see Wolf standing in front of him, his hands shoved deep into a light top coat he was wearing. On his scarlet there was a look of restrained hate, his sensuous lips were curled into a menacing snarl. "Who wants to know?" Rod challenged, although his heart surged wildly at the unexpected sight of his enemy. "What you doing up here, anyway?" Wol. demanded. "What do you care?" Rod counteracted showing no sign of his inward agitation. Wolf's hand moved suggestively in his pocket as though he had a gun. I ought to answer that with a slug of lead right through for a blink, he growled. "Twe been am'm one for you." "Thanks for remembering me, but you better make it tic." Rod advised with apparent仁悪ness. "One might not be enough, a tic!" You're smart, isn't you? You're smart, isn't you! Flaming with baffled hatred. "Sure," the youth agree it amably. "But say, Mister—will you be in your place Saturday night?" "What's that to you?" Wolf asked, quickly suspicious. "Well, you know I have my first bout Saturday night," Rod told him guillelessly, "and if I win, I would like to bring a party of friends down to Wolff's evil eyes flashed fiercely, then he smiled a smooth, oily smile. "Sure, I'll be home to the likes of you, and if you've got guts enough to come in, you can listen, bozo, you ain't gonna win that fight Saturday night. Latzo is gonna knock you for a row of decorated pillows. So probly I won't have the extreme humble establishment, but humble establishment, because you won't have nothin' to celebrate, he finished mockingly. "Well, you ought to know how good I am," Rod observed wickedly, "you've fat the weight of my good THE WOLE ACTS Wolf stiffened. His eyes bulged insanely. The hand which was plunged into his right pocket moved, and Rod could see the bulky outlines of his gun. "I let you off once." Wolf panted thickly, "But I will not do it again. Keep in this washroom! Make it feel like a move on you!" Wolf's voice and his actions were those of a man suddenly demented. The anger which possessed him made his body shake like an aspen. As he talked, he came close to the point where the latter touched the point. The youth knew that Wolf must be under the influence of corn drug, or he would not be fool and enough to risk shooting him in such a public place. The thought came to him that a temptation, a crime it out with his enlightenment in the corridor as in the greater privacy of the washroom. He tensed his body to spring Wolf, while his ears seemed to lance in advance the roar of a gun. (END OF) H is seated like the Wolf means bund nests. But wait 'til next week! (To be continued next week) Good Luck? No; Just a Good Artist So this Colored Girl Breaks in to Difficult and Exclusive Field of Commercial Art By JOHN W. DOUGLAS Some of us lose valuable time before we are able finally to decide what we want to do. Not so with Gladys Black. She had hardly cut her first teeth before her parents discovered that their daughter intended to be an artist. All little Miss Black required was a pencil and something on which to draw. Her mother's nice clean walls often served when there wasn't any paper handy. As she grew older she continued to draw. When other children were playing "nide and go seek" Gladys was industriously covering the sidewalk with chalk figures. When other children were puzzling over the three "Ra" Gladys was drawing pictures There was nothing else for her parents to do but send Gladys to art school as soon as her high school. Here she spent three happy years drawing, painting, creating beautiful designs and having the pleasure of seeing her work displayed. She graduated from the college in 1927 she graduated, the only colored girl in her class. The important thing now was where to find a job as a commercial artist. The field of commercial art is very crowded, overcrowded, and only the most capable are able to gain a foothold. Gladys wanted to specialize in designs, to make those pretty shawl and dainty covers that delight the Looking through the want ads, she saw that a large firm in New York wanted a girl to do "Aurora" work. This type of work includes the designing of book covers, book lodges and similar organizations. Miss Black went to New York and worked for the position. She took with her as a sample a wall hanging that one of her art teachers had offered to buy the manager of the office thoughtfully, examined the sample critically, looked at Miss Black again, considered for a minute and forthwith employed her. Evidently the excellence of her work overbalanced and the objection he might have made to her color. Some may consider this a stroke of good luck and, in truth, good luck seemed to follow this young lady. She had hardly become acustomed to her new job before another firm sent for her on the recommendation of a This firm, the Dytex Art Studio, supplies wholesale houses with art covers, chalkboards, and art shelters. It was just the kind of war; that Gladys loved, and, besides the salary offered was most attractive, for now she would earn about forty dollars a week—some weeks. Because of her training in art PETER S. GLADYS ELACK school. Gladys had an advantage over the other girls who worked with her. She attended the manager, and for a short time she was forelady of the establishment. During one of the rush seasons this firm advertised for two help and severed color gel applied for the manager. The manager said "No." They reminded him that Gladys was working there. "That is altogether different," the manager replied and hung up the receiver. Every design by the concern must be original.

Of course, this young lady had been fortunate in having an opportunity to display her talents, vet. it is also true that, that Gladys Black has to meet the test of the highest standards in order to hold her job. Situated as she is, the spotlight is always upon her and she is aware of the fall to the buyers, she would quickly re placed. However, the firm thinks so highly of her work that can assume an icon for display in the foreign shops. Do Racketeers Really Rule America? The Truth about the Parasites who Thrive on the Gullibility and Hopes of Those who Smother Conscience in Order to Get Something for Nothing. By JAMES A. JACKSON MEET the Racketeers! Meet the fellows "who toil not, neither do they spin," but who have dedicated their mental capacities to collecting the living that the world is alleged to have owed them, without rendering any compensating service. Racketeers are legion, and Chicago is the stamping ground of as many of them as may be found in any city in the land. New York, the home of the big money "Boob," alone being excerpted. The term "Racketeer" is the successor to the former word "Hustler," the word is without gender. Its devotees are of no doubt its most famous character is the one time grafter, the fair ground "shillizer," and what was once called the "Fakir" by those of us sophisticated enough to realize when we had been trimmed. The dominant racket of today is the "numbers" game. Strong is no name for this thing in which the public is literally押钱. Nothing is passed up, pennies, nickels, dimes and dollars all go into the aggregate upon TAXI "Hot Clothes" are well known in many cities. This is the game where someone sells from some small town store and sells them at the price of an exclusive fashion store. They cost the salesman nothing, he usually steals them. which these concealed racketeers feed. It is said that they introduced a new operation in New York by a Cuban. Be that as it may, it is known that the first operators there were Negroes. This, too, was true of Chicago and New York. But like all things of a commercial character, just as soon as "numbers" became Big Business, others more familiar with the handling of money through superior intelligence, bolster moves, the purchase of immunity for themselves and the buying of authoritative persecution for the Negro people, now command the grievous in most cities. Bankers Can't Lose Who are they? They are known to know that well concealed behind a variable array of collectors, sub- agents, district depositories, runners and auto scouts. They are barricaded behind more mobile offices than their own, and they are not World War. Those peripatetic officials may not be found in the same place for more than a few days; and mere customers never learn the location of the financial centre of web sites, and they and their pennies enmeshed. The odds, if paid, are 600 to 1: while the odds if legitimately applied should be 1:1. Yet from this the collector, when he does pay, withholds ten per cent for services. Should "hits" be too pleasant for the receipt, the collector would have no racketeer ever gives from the surplus or other days; and there is no recourse unless one wishes to invite possession or comprice to gambling, always outlawed. outlawed. The. "Benefit" Racket Others of the genus racketeer, create organizations with high sounding names and give dances and glee shows, obtain public funds for apparently legitimate charities while in reality they are but lining the personal pocket of the promoting genius. Associated with fellow is the program soils soils in programs for these affairs. Thousands of copies are to be distributed, if one believes the solicitor. In fact, oftimes, just enough are provided to provide one for solicitor. Last year, one of these promoters advertised a dance in Chicago that attracted just fourteen people named Justine, placards and affair, carried such weight with the neighborhood that the promoters were enabled to stand the absence of the public, the lack of a balance with a nice balance in hand from the advertising sold in the program, the printing order for which was precisely 250 copies. The advertising sold for 100 per page, and advertising were sold. "Hot Stuff" Not long since a racketeer whose bank roll had disappeared in the hands of one of our customers of cards, went down town and bought a dozen suits of cheap clothing, and carrying one suit at a time, went forth to sell some hot stuff, just to get exclusive clothers. He sold every suit for more than twice what it was, worth for the formality of an exact fit for any customer. "Hundred dollars after paying There are suckers who still fall for the "old shell" game. The carnival greeter lobbed the little table with the "three balls" is as successful with his particular racket as the bootlegger. It is a game which is supposed to draw its results from the compere "whicks." the loan of less than six hours with the bonus of ten dollars interest. Smooth work, almost clean merchandising. Of course, it would have been filled with a mad desire to get something for nothing. That human frailty is the basis of the racketeer's success. Without such mental fertility on the part of his dupes, most games would fail. RENT PARTIES She was a nice girl and had culture of which she was proud. She fell upon unfortunate days, and the rent was overdue. She was in despair, until she happened to meet a racketeer. His heart was touched. He was so moved by his change. No no. He would, however, relieve her situation by showing her what to do. The result was a rent party. Now rent parties are simple little social, function that ties people together. A little barbecue meat, the making of a sandwich and a few bottles of needled beer; "Real Stuff" is what is whispered as the guests are served at a fourfold price, and a gallon of wine. The party is complete, save for the guests. Here is where the racketeer shows his cunning. He passes the word to smoke shop friends, drops a cigarette, and taxis driver who "know their cats," and from some mysterious rendezvous, the visitors, each of whom sincerely believes that he has struck a tricky racketeer in search of pleasure. The affair is a success. Profits have been about 600 per cent and the racketeer takes half of the ret. Out of this he slips his "boys" a "B" in the language of the game, with a nice piece of change and the credit of having done his daily good deed. Of course, if the officer on the beat had to be squared, or there was a neighbor who was so unkind as to "squawk" at noise, his part is diminished some by virtue of having to "do a fix." THE HOCK SHOP GAME The racketeer — bless his cunning hide — is with us always. There is the lock shop game which today, doesn't seem to be a written-gentry. In this game the sucker, purchases a pawn ticket, from the "lead on man" at a very low figure, and all he has to do is go to the pawn shop and get the pawned articles out. Of course, you must be careful that and you insist that the seller accompany you to the alleged pawn shop and show you what he has to sell. THE "CON" MAN You are somewhat surprised when the "con" man readily agrees to the proposition. He takes you to the pawn shop, shows you what you have presumably purchased. You are my friend, you reply that you are my friend, what a sad awakening is coming to you! You go back to get the stuff and the owner of the place informs you that the fellow was only buying the articles man and that you were a child who and come in just to see what he had bought. No. he can't give you your money back. Is awfully sorry the thing happened in his place and all that sort of rot whis you found helpless to recover your money. This same though, since the regulation of pawnshops by city ordinances, has become almost, if not practically, obsolete.

There is the billiard sharp, the card sharp, the plain trickster betting on sure-fire things, the strap man who bets you your money, the bailiff who holds a belt to pull from around the nail without getting it caught, and others too numerous to dwell on at length.

USE ROYAL CABS VERNON 6192 New Low Rate—15 and 5 The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, May 3, 1930 HearMeTalkin'toYa VICTORIES and near victories, scored by race athletes tiring the annual Penn Relays at Franklin Field in Philadelphia last week, have already occasioned the beating of the cymbal and the tooting of the lute in various sections of these United States, and among the hamlets and towns singing the praises of their native and adopted sons, the other than the grand old municipality of Baltimore, the name of which was flashed on the wires when George Spencer Morgan College senior, scored Friday. second place in the deadline. Spaulding's accomplishment was one of those things that come out of a clear sky. But it was no mere accident. Conscientious training and strict adherence to the laws of health, plus a native ability, placed Spaulding in the limelight with the great "Barney" Berlinger, University of Pennsylvania ace. The Jersey youth's achievement marks the greatest performance since Dr. Charles West, then a student at Washington and Jefferson College, rumped off with first honors in the pentathlon. If memory serves us right, "Speed" Uttacker, University of Pittsburgh ace, who was scratched in the middle, unpleased, about fifth in the event last year. decathlon this year. While Spandling was piling up points in the ten events, Williams of Hampton, who was hurling the javelin 191 feet to place second in that event, John Lewis, former Olympic star, and member of the mile relay team of the College of the City of New York, was running anchor to bring the Motor City quartet a clean victory; the Hampton mile relay team was winning the normal school championship; Jimmy Peacock of Temple was broad jumping 23 feet, 7 inches to place third in that event; Lineauin was winning one of the college mile relays and Everett Utterback was scoring third place for the University of Pittsburgh, in the hop, skip and jump. High School stars were also coming in for their share of applause. All in for the two-day session. all it was a gurdis for the Such competition as that afforded in the Penn Relays, it seems to me, is somewhat of an indicator of what may be expected in the Hampton, Lincoln and Howard relays. Of course, some will say that there will be seen enough competition to extend the stars to their ranks in any of these meet. Whether that is true or not remains to be seen, but this writer will wager his Sunday overtails that there will be some meet records broken in these gatherings, and that a few of the major records will be approximated. G AND while on this matter amiss to release some when Earl Johnson, champion, at APRO desk long enough to carve his in the man, who from 1920 to 1928 to ship of this country, and who his country titles in 1924, now is Steel Works at Braddock, Pa. He ran his big race, placing the Paris Olympics. Today at 40, he looks the pick into his eyes as he tells how at track鞋. Unlike most athletic career until after he had it, it was only then that he move to move the ground. It was a bright awakening. "One race that I'll never forget a two-mile race, run in Boston.

"Bigger a ectdbent or E r - 1" "Bigger and better than ever so the Black Sox. Selah. From the reports coming from front, it appears that Ed Bolden the Hilldale Company. All of the others are reported to be playing AND while on this matter of track and field, it might not be amiss to release some choice bits of information gleaned when Earl Johnson, former national senior cross country champion, and AFRO marathon winner, stopped by this desk long enough to carve his infilates on it, last week. The man, who from 1920 to 1924 held the female championship of this country, and who held the addition, the ten-mile cross country titles in 1924, now is employed by the Edgar Thompson Steel Works at Braddock, Pa. Six years ago, at the age of 34, he ran his big race, placing third in the 10,000-metre run at the Paris Olympic Games. In the 40, he looks the picture of health, and a twinkle comes into his eyes as he tells the at age of 23, he put on his first track shoe. Unlike most athletes, Johnson did not begin a career later until after he had finished his Masters College. It was only then that he realized that he had within him the power to move himself and stand in conformity to a time sched- ule. It was a bright hawk. "One race that I never forget," Johnson told this idler. "was a two-mile race in Boston. I had just raced the night before in New York, and when I arrived in Boston I found that there were minutes before the start of the race. just twenty minutes before the "I jumped into the cab and had the driver rush me over to the big hall in which the meet was to be held. Rushing into the dressing room, barely managed to change my clothes before the race began, arriving at the start just as the runners were taking their marks for the two-mile grind. "At the crack of the gun I was off, and believe me, I ran some. The pace is terrific and coming down the home stretch Blondie Romig and I matched strides. With one final burst of speed, however, Romig beat me out at the tape, the time being 9 minutes and it was. It was one of the hardest races that I ever ran." 21. Sail a belief that Negro schools and colleges do not contribute stars to the holders of world's records, largely because of inadequate or insufficient training, was expressed by Mr. Johnson. "As ask any track coach when he starts his practice, and he will invariably say in 'march,' the former will say, 'You may say as early as five but you won't find one who will say as early as six.' His track men in training at commencement time, 'Thatks the time, though, when training should begin, and it should be kept up through the whole year. This thing of an athlete going on a spree for nine or ten months and then trying to all of his violations of the laws of health in six or eight years is a farce. It is more than that you follow some system of training to achieve. Give some of the big white coaches the same training that we have in some of our schools, and that will hold its own with it for a year and you'll find a team of tracksters that will hold its own with any group in the country. that is Dissipation, however, is the thing that tears the boys down, and as I look about me I see it on every hand. Foreign athletes train the year round. That's why you see some of them who can drink or smoke and not feel any ill effects. But our boys can't do that, because their training period is far too inadequate to permit it. An incident which Mr. Johnson likes to recall, occurred in 1924 when under the watchful eye of Tom Keane, track team member of Syracuse University, and trainer of the American Olympic team, he was going through his own course of training. One day, Johnson, who was not considered such a bright prospect for the team, and who trained, for the most part, in his own way, surprised Coach Keane by defeating the picked field of runners in a practice jaunt. From that time on he became a favorite, being in charge of training the other runners until the team sailed Paris. FOR EARS If trained my own way," Mr. Johnson explained, "but when I got started, I was gone, that's all. You've got to train," he added, "if you want to win." Thinking over the former distance star's advice, and looking right around me, I can see several examples of talented performers, whose bid for athletic renown will be short-lived, just because they will not adhere to training rules. Gin parties, cabaret, and the kindred adjuncts are no training places for athletes. Yet I can name misguided youths that seem to feel that "living the life" is one of the first rules of training. But things don't work out that way. You must either be successful and pay the training price, or disregard all training rules and pay the price in mediocre and shortened performance. WHILE writing those words, the thoughts of the department journeyed back to last Saturday, to the scene of the sixth annual Health Week marathon. With no discredit to the double victory of the Washington runners, it does seem deplorable that this city cannot produce an individual winner or a winning team. There is something fundamentally wrong. The matter will not be analyzed here, but some of you know just as well as I do, what the matter is here, in Baltimore. As chairman of the manathon committee, this writer on behalf of that body deserves that all who took part in making the sixth annual winner the success that it was. Particularly to the donors of prizes does the committee feel deeply indebted. Everyone pulled together, and I believe a good time was had by all. BELIEVE it or write to Ripley, but you're likely to lose a tooth or two if you meander into some neighborhoods and tell the male population there that the Black Sox haven't the best team of either race in this area of these United States. Certainly, if you see the 1930 edition of the maduro-hosed swatsmith in action you will have your moments of ecstacy, as Rap Belle smashes an almost impossible fly ball, or Suttles sends the apple riding over the centerfield wall, or Dick Lundy initiates one of those rapid-fire double plays — even if you don't agree that the boys are the best around this neck o' the woods. boys the writer believes that it will be hard to assemble a more balanced aggregation. Pats Jenkins, Warfield, Dixon, Wilson, Sutties, Lundy, Eggleton, Washington, and Clarke can all hit, as well as field the ball, and there are opposing pitchers who will whisper on your shoulder that they quaked in their boots when these horsehide assassins came to bat. They haven't faced a real baptism of fire yet, but they'll be ready. "Bigger a cebtrid o#f r- f 5 f- c mosw oam " "Bigger and better than ever," goes the song, and as the song, so the Black Sox.

Tenn. — Knoxville College opened a some-what belated baseball season by twice defeating Bluedfire on the local diamond Tuesday and Wednesday by the scores of 8-1 and 8-1. The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly Double Plays, Heavy Blows Feature Two Sox Victories Warfieldmen Hammer Cuban Pitchers Hard and Win by 7-3 and 13-3 Scores Newly Acquired Out-eld Star Hits Two Triples Two easy victories scored by the Black Sox Sunday, when with 29 base hits, they scored 7-4 and 13-3 victories over Chacon's Cream Stars. Fats Jenkins recently acquired outfielder formerly sported the colors. Like Washington's Bacharach Giants, was in the lineup Sunday and celebrated his debut by rapping out three hits in two tails, two of the blows being for three bases each. Washington Absent The arrival of Jenkins adds hitting as well as fielding strength to the local club, and the only regular position not filled Sunday was that of Pete Washington in the outfield. Washington, however, is expected to be here this week. J. B (Harry) Hairstone and Ralf worked the two games, Charlie Cromwell, who formerly worked with Hairstone, and who was scheduled to be the second arbiter on the field, did not put in his appearance. Paige pitched the first game for the Sox, being opposed by Joe. While this last finger allowed him his mates were annexing 13, he kept them well enough scattered not to cause any worry. Double Plays Feature Sparkling fielding by both teams cut off several runs, four double plays being made the day before. Not a Black Sox player struck out in the first contest, while Paige whiffed seven of the Cubans, but the Alabama was visible. Suttles, hard hitting Sox first sacker, rapped out two doubles in the first contest. Jud Wilson connected for a double, and for another in the second contest. Four Triples in Row In the second game the Sox scored six runs in the second inning and duplicated the feat in the third. In this game Lee pitched the Black Sox, rapped out a triple. This seemed to be a signal to the local clouters that the offerings of Abrues were easy, for Jenkins, Warfield and Wilson, in order to the horsehide for three-base wallops. The Cubans scored their three runs in the second inning, but from then all times had them under control. The only home run of the day came in the second inning, when Dick Lundy Black Sox shortstop, swatted the apple for four bases. **BLACK SOX** **CHACON CUBANS** **Ab. R. H.

Lec and Carroll, favorites in the race, were both off at a distance with the fringe of the master's gun. The runners turned at Biddle and Eden streets, were abreast, matching stride for stride. Both runners secured and were well out of the pack. Lee Pulls Away At Biddle street and Fallway, Lee, running with an almost mathematical precise grip, drove from Carroll and was leading by about five yards, and when the runners turned into Mt.

I knew that I had beaten the other, and I felt that I could do to do so." In high school Spaulding never paid special attention to the sprints, specializing in the jumps. In 1926 Showing Form A.

No Discrimination The value of the scout organization in cementing interracial good will among youth was demonstrated in the sportsmanship of both white and colored scouts in carrying out first aid tests. The scouts used colored scouts as subjects in the tests and the colored scouts used whites.

On entering the stadium, each troop was given instructions. At cocktails and in handbags where they found "wounded scouts" attached to whom were cards describing their injuries. After giving first aid they were sent to treat other kinds of wounds that were wounded and can be made for stretcher bearers. These signals in scout code would bring scouts who would bear the wounded scout to the "hospital" where physicians examine the wounded scout of the first aid treatment.

Zion Church to be held at Detroit, Mich., August 5-11, will be a distinct departure in denominational programs, according to a release by the religious education department headquarters in Chicago. The convention will be a study and interpretation of factual data concerning human needs and the correspondence of those problems as health, friendship, sex, parenthood and family life, citizenship, recreation: economic and vocational studies will be presented by specialists. These specialists are being selected, tions and national social agencies. This feature, it is predicted, will create a sensation within the denomination and a probable clash in the view of the progressive regarding several of the delicate problems to be discussed and the attempt to project the denomination onto stupendous social adventures. It is expected that church architecture and reckless expenditure for church buildings will also provide much discussion. Two thousand delegates attended the 1926 convention in Washington Declaring that the mad abandon of present day sex psychology was a hallmark of social history, Dr. Stephen Gil Spatwood, minister of Indianapolis, Ind., aroused the Young People's Congress of the A.M.E.

M. E. Church on the second day of its three-day session in the Rush Zion Church on School Street, Cambridge Mass, the Rev. H. C. Lee, pastor. Bishop Walls, who presides over the Congress, amid applause declared that colored people who laugh at "Amos and Andy" laugh themselves into semi-slave status, and the system of furthering segregation by making the race seem different, to its disparagement. Bishop Walls said in part: "There is a lack in the context of the colored American of all elements in our population is different and different to his disparagement a'aways. Amos and Andy give a daily exagregation of the race, and thereby decreasing unaltered element of the race. "The movement of segregation and aversion to the black man is shrewdly and sinisterly carried on by man-made manias and economic economies, the stage, the press, and now the radio. His sacred songs are caricatured and distorted from their serious and constructive settings, his sufferings are laughed at his elation for justice and his misery as stock for game-makers and joy monsters. "No lines are drawn between the use made of his worldly and strata of manhood, his souls and souls of contributions, to music and the universal human experience, but themes and productions for a great section of American literature and philosophy.

Ex-soldiers are being invited by the Director of the United States Veterans Bureau at Fort McHenry, Baltimore, to attend a different forms of insurance issued by the government. Veterans who applied or were eligible to apply for war risk or compensation may make application at any time for United States Government Life Insurance. The maximum amount issued to an veteran is $10,000, the lowest is $007. As veterans become older they take the advantage of the lower premium rates available to those of younger ages, and are more likely to become in need. This defeats their right to secure the insurance. HURT IN AUTO CRASH Hagerstown, Md.-Roscoe Barnes was cut by flying glass in a three-car collision on North Potomac Street here last week.

Madison 0529 Business and Industry Religion Would Solve Domestic Problem--Mrs. Van Lear Black Help Should be Regarded Actual Part of Household, Says Well-Known White Club Woman. MARCUS GARVEY AND NIGHT CLUBS INJURED HARLEM Unemployment Situation Worst City Has Ever Seen Employers Advertise for Light Skins NEW YORK.—Harlem has an unemployment situation all its own which could well be called a "yellow peril." While jobs and positions of all kinds are few, New Yorkers are faced with a menace of a different order in the fact that the domestic and public service fields upon which Harlemites depended for the greater part of their livelihood qualify their want ads with the phrase, "For Light Colored Only." This internal color line applies to such positions as waitresses, housemaids, elevator operators, stenographers, ushers and other positions where the worker is thrown into direct contact with the public in a personal way Competing with hard work. While skilled workers and day laborers, by this stipulation, they are equally hard put to find employment, because they cannot compete with the foreign element. These foreigners, besides being able to work for less wages by virtue of the fact that they can live cheaper, stand better chances than the Negro workers of being employed because most of the employers themselves are foreign born. The Harlem's population has shown a steady increase during the past ten years, the places of employment have narrowed instead of grown in proportion, which leaves Harlem Negroes facing an economic situation which grows more acute every day. Cabaret Boom Two reasons for this loss are advanced by social workers. One is that, for many years, Harlem was considered a playground where whites spent lavishly for their education and the ambiance of talent were able to make more money in a night dancing the Charleston in both Harlem and Broadway night clubs than they could make in a week running elevators or making a concert refused to accept these positions and whites were employed from necessity. Night life also made them undependable, and whole crews of Negroes were replaced by whites and department stores. With this cabinet boom on the wane, Negroes are unable to regain these lost positions. Marcus Garvey Another reason advanced is the influence of Marcus Garvey on the ignorant classes of the South. The declines of Garvey and his street corner speakers, who nightly advocated defiance to the white race, were taken away by the police so they could effectively that they refused to even take orders from their employers, and seized every opportunity to insult the white class for which they worked. It is estimated that thousands of avenues of employment once open to It is estimated that thousands of avenues of employment once open to the race are closed because of these reasons. The natural arrogance of the Jamaican and other islanders has also been a contributing factor. Not subjected to stern racial prejudice in their native lands, many of them refuse to accept it here. The white man's answer is his refusal to emigrate, which leaves him in the grip of the worst economic crisis in its history. Servants and Employers Both Seek an Advantage ST. LOUIS, Mo.—The trouble with the servant problem is that both servants and employees constantly seek to take advantage of each other, so they result in results. Representatives of both groups which met here recently drew up charges expressing their viewpoints. Colored servants' articles read as follows: "The lady of the house turns back the clock so the maid works later than she thinks." "The maid dampens a big wash so that it will look like only one week's cloth instead of three. "A maid hired by Mrs. A is required to work for Mrs. B and C, respectively." "Washing fourth story windows on the outside is too much to expect of a maid." Being hired at a low figure with promise of an increase that never is annoying." White employers' charges read as follows: * Leaving jobs without giving ample notice to employers.* * "Feigned illness often to look for another job.* * "Removing small articles from the employer's home.* * "Wanting place of work late.* * "Wanting more pay after agreeing to work for a certain sum."* The wrangling continued as the design filed from the hall, each facet denying charges preferred by the other. TWO GET PRISON TERMS HAGERSTOWN, MD. —'two men, William Hull and Archie Johnston, went to the house and possessing liquor and given six months each in the house of correction. Saturday, Hull was also charged with upon Gerlie Burns. Cefeg cog. "When the hired woman leaves home to go to work, she should take her religion with her. The servant can help make a home like the Garden of Eden if she will but apply the principles of Christianity at all times while doing her work." Thus, in one breath, did Mrs. Van Lear Black, 1205 Eutaw Place, offer a suggestion whereby the relationship of the madam and the domestic could be made more pleasant and beneficial to those concerned. Mrs. Black is the wife of one of the principal owners of the Baltimore Sun papers. She is interested in various businesses, especially W.Y.C.A. work. Mrs. Black is also a society leader. Her domestic help numbers six or more ordinarily. Sound practical advice was advanced. The domestic following the advice and adopting the suggestions can make herself more valuable to her employer, Mrs. Black averred. "Religion is generally left at home when the help goes to her occupation. Religion and work should be combined. "Things will go wrong around a house; some one will do things, probably, that are not proper. Christ may use the domestic as a missionary to calm the troubled situation. But if she does not apply the principles of her religion to her work, He cannot use her. Explaining the manner in which her household was conducted, Mrs. Black said proudly: "I fell my help that I cannot have a Christian home without their assistance. I am only one person in the household, and the support of all are needed. My domestics cooperate with me in making my home a happy or. they apply their religion to...ork. "My help are cheerful and appear to happy. I make me feel good to hear them laughing mirtly from time to time as they chat with one another. Their attitude causes me to believe that my home is being overseen by the application of Christianity." Preparation What other thing would you recommend to make the domestic more valuable. Mrs. Black was asked: "Annie, please make black said eminently 'is the lack of preparation in some help. The girl or woman who sets out to do anything should learn to do that thing well to be the best in that job. If she choose a cook, she should content with just being a cook; if she should be the best. The same holds true in any other branch of work. "When a woman has finished her speciality in the home, could pass on and another girl would come in and work for the work for which she has specialised." "A skilled and trained class of workmen will find that housework is simple and fascinating." Stressing the differences between the woman, factory worker and the domestic in the home, Black advised the workmen to realize that they cannot have factory hours in a home. "The factory worker goes to the sho, sits down to her machine and works until lunch time or stopping time. He is not to work; if she gets hungry she cannot stop and latch a piece of toast be ore lunch hour. Should she become tired, she cannot lay down a while on the couch to rest. "The domestic goes into the home, the children can then sit d w and leisurely eat her breakfast. Should her head hurt during the day, she can recline on the couch. She is not rushed, and at intervals during the day, she has opportunity to do two classes of work, make it impracticable for th; help to try to keep factory hours in the home." Mrs Black is in favor of workwomen remaining at their places of employment. "The woman," she said, "should trudge through the dark streets at night after work and be subject to the evils that exist. When they are on the place they do not take the chance of ill health when they work and when they must rise early in order to go to work." "To simplify household labor and preserve health and should be the aim of both the madam and the help." Training School As a solution to the problems that confront the employer and the employee, Mrs. Black expressed herself as being particularly interested in the establishment of a domestic training school here. Inexperienced persons would receive instruction. Woman, whose good qualities pleased their maddams, but were lacking in some things, could attend and increase their value.

Six Months' Romance Leads to Altar. Mary Sewell First Colored Emergency Nurse Easter Joy-Ride Proves Fatal. Chita McCard to Give up Position, so Rumor Says. Dear Pansy: The Daylight Saving Time in some places, the Standard Time in others the Pimlico races, the A.M.E. Conference, are all giving this week its full share of confusion and unrest. However, looking back to the interesting events of the past week, we see the newly Easter weds, for instance as well as other surprising affairs. Corrine Deane and William N. Jones were sure their carefully laid plans were locked safely in their hearts until they were ready to spill water. They were ready to quiet little ceremony performed at Westminster on last Saturday, then the wires somehow got busy and everybody had it, before they were halfway on their honeymoon to the Westminster. Noting at first nothing unusual on their return, they went about on their various missions as usual. However, somequisitive spirit pounced down on them, sure of themselves, they denied them the facts were laid before them, sorry that their plans not to acknowledge it until fall had failed them, they admitted it, with a smile. It was a six-month romance. Mrs. Cook's Mother Dies We were all sorry to hear of the death last week of Mvizian Johnson Cook's mother, who died in Memphis. Mr. Cook has returned home and is back at her office at the Booker T. Washington Junior High School. An Emergency Nurse Gee, Pansy, have you seen Mary Sewell flying around the city, in a Health Department car, all her own. She is flying around the city in rounds as an emergency nurse? She is the first colored nurse to hold such a position. She handles a number of outlying schools and emergency cases around the city. She is the nurse her uniform, carrying children back and forth to hospital, schools or the like. Chita is Quitting Job Chita McCard, according to rumor, is giving up her position as city social worker in the near future. Tis true she has a very attentive gentle man. She doesn't have that she doesn't have to scuffle unless she chooses to. But nobody definitely knows yet why she is giving up her position. Maybe she prefers the school system after all. However, she uses the use guessing. We will wait and see. It seemed to me, Pansy, that it would have had a happier ending had they played bridge as they said they would have played bridge even evening instead of taking a auto-ride pointing toward the Bamboo Inn in Washington, so rumor has it, and being struck by another car, slightly scratching two of the ladies and spilling an oral enough, scaring the liver lights out of the whole party. Besides it resulted in the ruffling of the husband of one of the ladies and caused a grief with two other ladies sweethearts. One of the gentlemen is still running, and another was compelled to beat it back to Washington in time. The man had to stick with the car. However, rumor hasn't caught the names of the sheins in question, and if I am thinking correctly, never will men, the two school teachers and office clerk have no right to be exposed either. Anyway some way or other murder will out. But they are always so ready to pounce on the woman should share the blame as much. Mr. Saunders to Wed It's never too late to do anything that's right, and surprises are liable to pop up at all times. However, who would have thought, Mr. M. W. Saumur, a professor of history and agency in the 1800 block of Drudh Hill Avenue, is about to throw aside his bachelorhood and take unto himself the charming Miss Pryor, next week? Fitzgerald's Pierce-Arrow To make a story short, Mr. William Fitzgerald's old Hudson has gone out of sight for good, and to give you good reasons for him keeping the out-of-darriage in evidence so long, was because he was looking the market for something unusual, or in joining with the Fitzgeralds pedigree. Oh, boy. he has a peach now, and he and the madam look like the Vanderbiltis sitting back in their plush cushions. Pansy, his richly colored Pierce-Arrow, being more spacious than their former car, they may, once in a good while, let some of us feel how good it is riding in just such a car. But they don't as a rule pick up us common folk. However, they often folk and hosts of friends. ST. MICHAELS. Md.-Services at Union M.E. Church were well attended.
