Col. 1 Sherman, Texas, Whites Regard Colored Girls as Natural Prey as Natural Prey SHERMAN, Texas. (ANP)—Sherman, a town where ordinance prohibits culture and refinement, because of the atmosphere of Austin College and Kidd-Keve University, held cell holes of infinity, when it comes to the treatment of Negro women. For years the young colored girls of the city have been forced to listen to insults and suggest remarks to them when they passed the atrium at the school where the white college boys rattled their money and shouted, "I got two bits," or "I've got four bits," years ago Miss Carolina and Odessa Dorothea two highly respected girls of the city, were insulted near Keith's Drug store, and when they resented the foul, amorous apprehension of the skunks, they were cursed and one of the girls alleged she was struck. "Oh! don't she look hot," is that greets the average good taking girl when she passes down the streets of Sherman on one of the suburbs. A young girl, accustomed to the writer since the mob Friday night, stated that she could not go home in the evening from her without being intercepted by white boys and boys in cars, who insist that they into their convicences. She said: "Only yesterday evening I was coming home, a white man drove up by my side, threw open his door, and stepping out, said 'Get me in.' I ran all of the way home, but not before he had reached in his pocket and pitched several dollars" on the ground."

Stock of Colored Owners Passed Out to Mob. SHERMAN, Tex.—(ANP) A thrilling story of the lynching of George Hughes and the burning of the court-house was told this week by a young girl, who had the thrilling experience of being right in the center of the white mob when the troop train arrived from Dallas. The mob had already destroyed the beautiful brick building belonging to Dr. Samuel Goodson and Mrs. Willie M. Goodson in fact, it had destroyed all the business property owned by Negroes. It was their next step, in their path to ruin, to destroy the best homes of blacks, their churches, and their schools. This girl listened and looked under peculiar circumstances. "My boss wanted to go down to look at the moth. When he loaded his wife and baby up in the ear, I fused to say home. He told me to get in and sit way back in the rear seat between his wife and daughter. I spent three hours peeping out of that car." Happy Days Are Here Again "When we arrived on the streets by the courthouse, the crowd was singing 'Happy Days Are Here Again'. They sang other songs but I do not recall them. I was struck most by the grotesque and unseemly notion of these human butchers singing 'Happy Days Are Here Again'. I baked in their arms cried and shouted and I never in my life heard such vile and profane language as was dinned into my ears, seemingly from everywhere. "I was horrified when they finally dumped the charred body of a man out of the building. The men and boys quickly got a chain and fastened the body to a car and dragged it through the streets of the colored section, ending at the Goodson Building. Stock Given to Mob "A small cottonwood tree was used as a gallows for the already dead man. The Goodson store was broken into with axes and the furnishings were dumped up to make a fire. saw the body as they passed cigarettes and, perfume to the men and women. "The zero hour came when the troops arrived. Our car was standing near the tracks when the soldiers tumbled from their cars. They arrived just in time, the angry mob had freely expressed their next intention. They were going to burn Bishop McKinney's home, the Goodson's, Dr. Porters, and the Douglass Schoolhouse, which later and Bishop McKinney's home would have been in flames, a car load of gasoline was at his door. When the train whistle shrieked, the arsonists fled." By ROSCOE DUNGEE Editor, Black Dispatch Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. There was an interesting, instructive and very helpful experience in front of me Sunday morning as my car whirled across the Buckleck mountains and down into the valley of the Red River, in my ride to Sherman, Texas, and the hell heaped upon defenseless Negroes in the name of white womanhood. I have never been able to feel that the Associated Press told me truth about this character of disorder. I have the printed lies told about Elaine, and the distortion of fact following the Tulsa riot. I wanted too, to look in the faces of white folk, when the leer of violence and hate hangs heavy in their faces. I wanted to gaze also upon my own in the moment of terror, when the tongue is inarticulate and chaos reigns. One can never know what the Negro suffers under such conditions unless he moves into this experience with him. Nine o'clock at Night We slipped into Sherman about nine o'clock Monday night. My motor had sprung a leak in the sidewall and I was having to replace the water in the radiator about every seven miles, so when I arrived at the outskirts of the mob-torn city I had decided upon the justification I would have for stopping there. "How do you get through here to Daisy Station to get the station operator as I sighted on the edge of the city for more water. The man gaped when he saw my companion and I were Negroes. "I've got a bad motor here and I do not know whether I can get there or not, but I must get through tonight if I can," I said. "Well, the highway goes straight ahead, but I do not think the guard is straight at me. "What guard?" I countered. "Why, man, this town is under martial law and the streets are solders," explained my informant. I acted puzzled for a moment and then said, "Well, I seem to be up against it, but I guess I'll try to get the guard out, Carter and drove out into the night. Soldiers Marching A car was directly in front of us. Beyond it we could observe quite a commotion in the streets and as we were crowding, and just as we discerned that they were soldiers, a sentry in the center of the square cried "Halt." I noticed that the guard waves his right, but I knew enough about Sherman to turn to the left. If I were going to land in the Negro section proper. In the black darkness two blocks below we held a council of war. How were we going to locate colored people when there were none Jim Crow in Stores Reaches Kansas City KANSAS CITY. Mo.-The policy of insisting colored people service in department stores which started in Baltimore seven years ago, has reached Alder's downtown women's ready-to-wear store, 1210 Main Street, announced last week it will no longer permit colored women to try on garments. Alder, the proprietor, told representatives of the Kansas City City that because of the complaints of white women who objected to colored women to rest rooms and was forced to discontinue the practice. Alder said white women complained about colored women using the lavatories and rest rooms and one woman also complained because she saw two girls smoking in the lounging room. Minister is Fined $50 on Numbers Charge WASHINGTON, (CNS)—Charles A. Wyles, alleged to be a Methodist minister of this city, was fined $50 in police court, Thursday, on a charge of operating a fraudulent online game. The judge expressed his amusement by saying, "Do you mean to say that you, a minister of the Gospel, managed a number game among us, but that it was only a one and two cent game. He declared that everybody is playing the numbers here and that he was just keeping up with the times." The judge marked the judge as he assessed the fine which was promptly paid by the reverend gentleman. Marylander Wed in D. C. WASHINGTON, D.C.-Henry.

STORES FIRED Happy Days Are Here Again Stock Given to Mob Gasoline Ready Sherman Da'ly Invited Mob to Do its Worst SHERMAN, Tex—This statement, appearing in the Daily Democrat, white daily newspaper, before the lynching last month, ordered the lynching to defy both state police and militia. The article stated: A message from Governor Moody was said to have been received in the court room ordering the Ranger to call if possible, but to stop short of shooting in the crowd or injuring bystanders by use of firearms. This statement was regarded as invitation to the mob to do its worst and it did. Baltimore, Saturday, May 24, 1930 d Gave RDS P aches M REV. J. W. BROWN IN $100,000 LOVE SUIT "I Believed Him, God Knows," Wails Pretty N.Y. Divorcee HARLEM SHOCKED Dr. Brown is Pastor of City's Largest Church NEW YORK, (Special). — What tends to be one of the most daring outbreaks in the annals of the Zion connection has caused much excitement at the Mother Church, 140 W. 137th Street, when its pastor, the Rev. J. W. Brown found himself the defendant in a breach of promise suit. Papers were served by Colste and Pine, attorneys, at 291 Broadway, asking $100,000 damages for their client, Mrs. Justine Alexander, 444 Manhattan Avenue. 5.000 Congregation The Rev. Mr. Brown, who pastors a congregation of five thousand members, and worships in a half million dollar edifice, denies he ever promised to marry the divorced Mrs. Alexander. He also makes a flat denial of any association with her other than in church affairs. Meanwhile the congregation voted him their confidence at the morning service Sunday at which time he made a flat denial. Since his wife's death he said women annoyed him day and night and he thought it best to marry. This riled Mrs. Alexander, for when questioned concerning the matter Wednesday evening, she spoke freely. She contends that Dr. Brown is in error and there are certain trustees who can substantiate her argument. "I Was in Love" "The affair between Dr. Brown and myself was not new," she continued. "I was in love with him and loved him dearly. He made me believe the same him as he then deceived him of his marriage." "When I asked of the reported betrothed on one occasion, I warned him that he must not lie to me, but he did all within his power to persuade him to consent." "When the newspapers began to talk I knew that he had brought this upon himself." When asked concerning her marriage to the minister she quickly relied on. Were to Marry "Yes, we were to marry. That's what made things worse. I believed him. God knows I did, for we had so mavv things in things. Money does not matter. My mother did not raise a woman of the street. I shall not permit any man to brand me as such. I want to show him to the public as his true self." In her bill, Mrs. Alexander declared the minister debauched and her under promise to murder and as a result medical attention was re-required. There is an undercurrent at Mother Zion that a certain prominent minister had urged Mrs. Alexander forward hoping to see Dr. Brown removed and the minister placed at the Mother Church. She had heard the same rumor and disclosed the fact that the minister in question was the Rev. Patrick D. Douglass, pastor at the Rush A.M.E. Church. Douglass Case She completely exonerated the Rev Mr. Douglass saying they were good people as was Mrs. Douglass. She suffered. "One day I told Rev. Mr. Brown that I had called on the Douglasses and he wanted to come and them. Then I had met the Mrs. and Mrs. Douglasses through a friend of my family who was visiting here. Rev. Brown never seemed to like the friendship that existed between them, lived in the same apartment building with the Douglasses and often joined them in the evening or went 7 movies she She also claims that the Rev. Mr. Brown has highlighted her at the head of many church organizations, all of which she refused. Content With One Woman Content She quote him as saying: "When a man asks my age, he is well conceived with one woman. You are so intelligent and different from the rest and just that type of woman." The AFRO reported last week that the Rev. Mr. Brown appeared in his publitn Sunday of last week, with a cash on hand, with the walege he was a legal age have been scratched by Mrs.anger while in his study. She said he struck her about the breast and body and tore her clothes. WATCHING THE BIG PARADE A column of Washington Gossip, Page 11 Two PEACI Mob-R SUPREME COURT HITS RESIDENCE SEGREGATION Upholds Lower Court which Invalidated the Richmond Ordinance CITY APPEALED Act was Based on State Racial Integrity Law WASHINGTON. — The Richmond, Va., residential segregation ordinance, intended to prevent Negroes from occupying homes in white neighborhoods, received its death thrust when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the lower Federal court's decision invalidating that measure, Monday. There was no written opinion. The Supreme Court simply predicated its decision upon prior decisions in the Louisiana and New Orleans residential segregation cases, in which it was held that a city ordinance which forbids colored persons to occupy houses in blocks where the greater number of houses are occupied by white persons is unconstitutional. The ordinance, which was held unconstitutional last year by District Judge G. Lawrence Groner in Richmond, was an entirely new type of segregation law, in that it based its authority upon the Virginia State racial integrity act. Its basic occupies provided that "no block in the city a house in any block in the city where majority of the residents that block are persons with whom he or she is forbidden to marry under the State Radial Integrity Act" Interritiy Act The racial integrity act attempts to define the white race and forbid its members from maryrying Negroes or Indians and the segregation act would have acted to prevent a Negro or Indian from living in any block where the majority of whites lived. It was the intention of Alderman Henry W. Woody, white, who induced the measure to abolish Richmond city council to abolish the Supreme Court using the racial integrity basis rather than to base the ordinance on color. Test Case The test case which brought the matter into the *B*. Deans and others who filed a citizens' petition for an injunction to forbid the enforcement Deans had purchased a property on Twenty-First Street. The case was argued last May before the Groner who ruled that he violated the constitution of the United States. In Court of Appeals Following an appeal the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals by the city three judges, John McCormack and Judge the judge of the Supreme Court). Judge Ellott Northcott and Judge Henry McDowell, upheld the ruling of Judge Groner and the case was carried to the highest Arguments throughout the proceedings were based mainly on the intention that the ordinance violated the 14th amendments to the Constitution.

Sherman Mob Used Radio to Terrorize Colored Citizens 20 PAGES Million HES hidden Sherman Mob U Terrorize SHERMAN, Texas—An exodus of Negroes started Friday afternoon, following the destruction of the courthouse. Dallas, Fort Worth. Van Alstine, Galenville, Denison, Texas, and Ardmore, Oklahoma, all received their quota of refugees. Hundreds who did not have train fare or automobiles spent the night in the ravines near the white whaler. While many were harbored in the homes of white friends within the city of Sherman. While the mob hacked its way into the record vault of the gutted courthouse, a new and terrible use was made of the radio. Negroes in their homes, who had radios, were told by the announcer, that if Hughes was not found in the record vault, the mob leaders had decided to kill every Negro in Sherman and burn their homes. Rangers Helpless "I ran to the telephone and called the courthouse," said one excited woman in telling of her terrible experiences Friday night. "Central was a long time getting connections with the ranger who talked to me. I told him that I feared for my life and my property, and he helped Lady, Lady, and an all good, free life. We have orders not to shoot, and we are helpless." "A white friends had told us to come to her home, so we leaped into our car and started, five of us. When we got a block away from our home we noticed a car following us, which seemed to be trailing the devilous route we were taking to arrive at our destination. We were terror stricken. Finally, my husband, the man we stopped the car, all we had guns. The car following refused to turn the corner in out direction, but went on North. "Our white friend had told us to stop our car away from his home and come in separately. We were given a gun, and we had to the hoarse shouting of the frenzled mob, and watched the angry flames as they leaped into the sky." "The last thing the ranger said as I arrived was, 'The troops are coming.' I asked him when, and he said they could not arrive before two o'clock. It was for the arrival of the troops that I waited and kept ceaseless vigil. The army now forced the moment the national guardsm arrived. The train came in over the Southern Pacific and it blew, and blew, and blew. I listened to the horecies of the mob died down and in a few moments ceased. I knew how had arrived."

DADDY MUST PAY PEACHES $20,000 IN HEART BALM Wealthy Newark Physician Assessed for Six Years of Love WIFE DEAD Jilted Girl Avers he Wed Ofay Divorcee NEWARK, N.J. — As a balm for her shattered faith in the man she would marry, a jury last week awarded Miss Ethel Cannon, 23, of 51 Winans avenue, $20,000 of the $75,000 she sought to obtain from Dr. William Henry Washington, reputedly rich physician, of 321 High Street, for breaking a promise to wed her. In her allegations of the doctor's mistreatment of her, the plaintiff set forth under three counts each calling for $25,000 damage, an outrageous assault when she was 17 years old, and a promise to her mother that she promised on numerous occasions. They virtually lived together as man and wife, she said. The alleged love episodes took place over a period of four years. They were to be married when the doctor alleged he changed his mind, jibbed her and married Mrs. Helen Wolfson, white, whom she alleges divorced a white husband in order to wed the physician. The jury, shown a "temporary engagement ring." Dr. Washington's alleged gift to Miss Cannon and let her be she was referred to as "Peaches" and was vicious. Bond for $5,000 was posted by Clifford D. Donnell, drugtist, 26 Richmond Street. The court conceded that the doctor was guilty of seducing the girl on the pretense of marriage. The doctor filed a plea for new trial and on June 2 Miss Cannon must show cause why the new trial should not be granted. DePriest Plans More Annapolis Appointees (Washington Bureau of The Afro.) WASHINGTON—Congressman Oscar DePriest told the AFRO-AMERICAN Monday that he would continue to make appointments until some of his work in Somalia and West Point. He had no special plans, he admitted, for preparing young men to meet the tests, other than through past appointments, which was done by advisors appointed by him. Some plan will be worked out, however, he declared. William Thomas and John Taylor of the Naval Academy, failed in preliminary tests, last week. William Chisholm, New York, appointed by Congressman Gavagan, also failed, and Daniel Ripley, another Gavagan alternate, did not show up for the tests. Hughes Lynched Because He Claimed Three Weeks' Back Wages By ROSCOE DUNJEE Editor of the Black Dispatch (for the Associated Negro Press) (for the Associated Negro Press) SHERMAN, Texas.—Did: Geo. Hughes, 41-year-old cremated Negro, confess to the charge of killing John Alm, white, living near Howe, Texas? Did her husband weighed and refuse to pay him? Did the enraged! man enter into an altercation with the police to have the age-old charge of assault cast him into the inferno of death? There are a thousand confusing and perplexing questions which might be asked now that the national guardmen have restored order and skilked through the streets of Sherman for more than forty-eight hours. For instance: how did it happen that the sheriff's deputies happened to be out in the vicinity of the alleged rapist assaulted his victim? How did it happen that a round bullet hole from a revolver pierced the wind shield of their car; when they testified that they were with a shot gun? Why was it that hundreds of whites, before Sherman was engulfed in shame, admitted that the trouble was entirely over a debt owed the black man? Negro women, who work at the mills, where Mrs. Atnp is supposed to have been taken for treatment, allege that the woman is uninjured, except for a few scratches on her hands, which might have been occasioned by joining the men he fought for his husband. It is known that Atnp was indebted to Hughes for three weeks' labor. Zionists Would Quickly Tame Ira Bryant, says Bishop Jones EDUCATION BOARD GAVE MILLIONS granted fellowships. Most of these were graduates from colored colleges of the South. For the year 1929-30 the board made an appropriation of -40,000. Other Appropriations For rural school agents, the board made available this year sums of $10,000 in the southern states $100,000, and for the division of Negro education $22,000. For the College Texas, $7,000; for the Industrial College Texas, $7,000; for the M. and I. Institute, Normal, Ala. $100,000; State Normal, Payetteville, N. C. $35,000; North Carolina College for Negro Education during the school year for a class room and administration building: Snow Hill Normal and Industrial Institute $25,000; to the high school and Rock Lake Rock Lake, K., for experiment and teacher training $30,000. In addition the board authorized appropriation of $55,500 to normal and vocational schools for equipment, especially of laboratories and shops. Colored Schools Backward The following comparisons with white students in the United States make clear: White Negro Schools (Avg.) No. of pupils per teacher... 34 (Avg.) Length of school term in days 151 128 Annual salary of teachers... $800.00 $427.00 Expenditures for salaries per pupil (the above figures represent an average of the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.) Despite existing differences, Negro public education is advancing relatively as rapidly as white public education, and the gap between the two is growing steadily less. A single illustration will suffice. The median expenditure for teachers' salaries per school child between six and fourteen years for the fourteen Southern States named above, was: Reorganization White Negro Schools Schools $10.04 $2.69 1923-1928 30.11 9.44 Increase 200 p.c. 250 p.c. 8,000 New Teachers Needed The report estimates that approximately 8,000 new colored teachers are needed annually to replace the teachers who drop out for one reason or another in the United States and to fill the new positions created.

Washington, D. C. ISAAC C. BANNISTER, Manager BRYANT WON'T LAST 3 NEW BOOK INTIMATES Former Afro Circulation SECONDS WITH ZION HARDING POISONED Manager Buried Wednesday Bishop Jones Says His Church would Oust Stormy Critic of A.M.E.'s ZION DEFENDED Bishops Better Paid and Work Harder By BISHOP E. D. W. JONES of the AME. Zion Church There appeared an interview in the AFRO-AMERICAN last week with the Hon. Ira Bryant of the Sunday School Department of the AME. Church with headquarters in Nashville, Tenn. We all know Mr. Bryant and admire him not because of his courage, pluck or power but because of the unique method he selects to perpetuate himself in office. He fights and abuses t he leadership of his church, to the light, to the large number of followers. I presume, who consider him, their Bryant and admire him not because of his courage, pluck or power but because of the unique method he uses to petulate himself in office. He fights and abuses the leadership of his church, to the delight of a large number of follow-ers. He should consider him their champion and support him at every general meeting for this exceptional display of rare talent. Routtness First, he refers to the "rotteness" of the two churches and their leaders, of the two churches and their leaders. All institutions and men are valued by their best and not the worst. Most of the A.M.E. Bishops in my home and by association, from Bishop Payne down to the last one consecrated, far more intimately than Mr. Bryant could know them and reflective reflective could be truthfully applied. Modesty forbids me to speak of my own. At this rate, Mr. Bryant could not lay the ground for anyone's watch in the A.M.E. Zion Church and if he sees in organic union the relegation of both himself and policies, he is justified in opposing that union on the ground of more self-continuation of office. Zion Bishops Well Paid He says in speaking of Union: "The advantages are all in favor of the Zion Bishops. Zion will be these bishops, would automatically get a large increase in salary by virtue of the change." We are again contending against the erroneous impression of some of the A.M.E. brethren. We have had to answer such insinuations before. First, it was our fathers' light in the days of the founders. Zion won then. our Episcopacy. Zion won then. Third, it was our principal religion, likewise for while we became a regular, legal denation in our own right and title in 1801 as shown by corporation records on file and for public observation. The AME, Church was organized in 1816 after a law suit to get their property back from the M. E. Church and to hinder their organization until this date and adjudication. Now we are called on by brethren of the same church to answer asperger's our finances and business methods. Reward for Service Mr Bryant, with anologies to the public for seeming to boast, the A.M.E. Zion Bishops are the highest paid officers of any Negro denominator. The A.M.E. Zion Bishops are said a little more salary but the A.M.E. Zion Church pays its bishops for service. It is a known fact that the A.M.E. Zion Bishops give more actual service than the bishops of any church in the world. We get more traveling expenses because we travel more. The report will show for the first six months of the year 1938 the number of bishops in this country preached in some of our thousands of bulbins every Sunday during that period: totalling 268 sermons at the morning services: 189 at the afternoon services: 78 at the evening services: 100 at the week nights 868 sermons and lectures. Now these 1420 personal visitations were always made without charges but the masters and people have both appreciative hearts and conscience. Stays In Africa As to our African bishop the Right Reverend W. W. Matthews, he went over to our foreign field with an aproximate number twelve thousand has been sent to him and the workers for salaries and extension and building all during this year. In Bishop, I admit it more fortunate than ours, could go and come two or three times since our last general conferences, and I would have done the s a m e thing, done the s a m e thing, done the s a m e thing, bishop over there four years. But since Mr. Bryant has reflected on our use of finance, I ask: Who has saved the home church more and who has made the greater sacrifice for African bishop over there four years. **Offers to Resign** Mr. Bryant makes another very uncomplimentary and unsupported statement. He says: "the present time the A.M.E. Zion connection is unable to support itself" Now, Mr. Bryant, if you can show me any more information up record when the AME Church in its 136 years of existence as a denomination has lost a plank, an inch of ground, a handful of mortar, a grain of sand, a handful of soil, an adjust and manipulate its financial problems, the twelve bishops of Zion Church will resign and make you the opulent receiver of its remaining assets. We challenge you and this statement. School Has Quarter Million. Now, Mr. Bryant, just one of our schools that we fostered from the very first parcel of ground bought and had no kind state appropriation for it, we have two hundred and fifty thousand dollars and has already begun the largest building program ever attempted by a Negro church organization of Methodists in the United States. For Union We are for Union some day, when God indicates that the time is ripe, not because Zion Bishops will get less money; they are getting now but because. First, the Kingdom of God and Christianity need Union of fellow followers of Jesus just now to prove that the teachings of this mighty God are practicable. Second, the race needs it relatively, socially and politically. Third, because our educational advance and spiritual training have convinced us that divisions and bickerings are useless, damaging and unwhole. Fourth, because we want to be coworkers with God in the establishment of a great fellowship. D.C. MAGGIAGES. DEATHS AND BIRTHS, ON PAGE 19 Thomas J.

President Had Threatened to Leave Wife for "Other Woman" and Child MRS. HARDING QUOTED She Believed Congressional Probe would Disgrace Him WASHINGTON—Did Mrs. Warren Gamaliel Harding administer poison to the late Chief Executive of the United States to save him from an impending domestic and administration catastrophe? Was the ill-fated President planning to toss up the sponge in his battle with the flesh and the devil and go off to Europe with Nen Britton and their alleged child in case he was impeded for his supposed connection with corruption in his purse. These, and other sensational revelations are intimated in a new book, "The Strange Death of the President, by the Man of the glorious Thomas Dixon, author of the "Clansman." Book Is a Diary The book, which Mrs. Thacker declares is taken from the diary and documents of Gaston B. Means, one time Burn's detective, investigator for the Department of Justice and confidant of Mrs. Harding, reveal not only documentary proof of the highly spiced domestic life of the President, but the most unusual intrigue and hide and seek tactics in the executive household. It reveals Mrs. Harding, the wife grown aged and unattractive, yet determined to fight to the death the younger woman who came between her and the man she married. On Love Trall Desperate with jealousy, she set Means on the trail of this girl and he brought in the evidence. Gifts and love letters by the President to Nan Britton, he secured and laid before the fighting wife. And for this. Means was summarily dismissed from the Department of Justice. Hod Fortuné Teller Another angle of the strange domestic tragedy was the belief of Harding in the fact which it is intimately led to the fateful death of the President. She had been told that she was a "child of death" and that she was to dominate and hold some mysterious power over her husband's How much she believed this is demonstrated by words the book puts through authentic and documentary evidence. "I am a child of destiny," she says "The President must die first. He will die in honor. The stars have decreed that I will appear in appeal this verdict. I alone shall fulfill his destiny. I will find a way." As this was written by the president of the nation, she clouded clouds of violence while hanging over him and his cabin. A congressional investigation loomed which promised to reveal one of the most infamous histories in the nation's history. This cast a cloud over the executive mansion. In this crisis she is quoted as saying, "You see what I said was true? Do you see that what I said was true? I and I alone, am ruler. Did she then cheat justice and sacrifice her husband and great wife with the fight against Nan Britton and save him from the impending crash? Gaston Means does not say that he diary, but he more than intimates it. PHILADLEPHIAN WEDS W.

F. Fortenberry, white, farm owner, and shot the latter three times. Friday. The lynching, though lacking the spectacular fire display of the Sherman mob violence, was said to have been perpetrated with unusually friendly accompaniment. Body Riddled Make Circuits After dragging his body suspended from the truck for two miles to Honey Grove, they circled the business district. Following this they then hauled it back and forth through the Negro district, stopping before the little church where they stung him up from his feet. The mob then set him afire after saturing his mutilated corpse with gasoline taken from his mouth for hours they swarmed about the smouldering carcas until a rainstorm ended the sordid procedure. Staged Fight According to one version of the killing of Fortenberry Johnson, who had been at times in the employ of the white farm owner, he shot and refused to go. Fortenberry, armed with a sheriff's commission and the death gun, went to enforce his order. He was invaded by Tom Hanford, another white man, and when they approached Johnson, he wrenched the gun from the white man's hand and shot. He was mortally wounded. Johnson then took the gun and TAPE QUICK RESULTS —OR NO COST the concentrated potency of these vital factors from which 4-V is prepared quickly reach the blood stream, stimulating and starting the gland secretions, building up vigorous, red corpuscles, bringing your vigor, vitality, strength and strength by causing the proper assimilation of lime, iron, phosphorous and calcium—which your system must have to be healthy and vigorous. Census Enumerator in Hell Will Take Poll of Texas Lynchers Editorial in the Black Dispatch Oklahoma City The census enumerator in hell is going to have trouble later on counting the folk from Sherman, Texas. Interracial groups who annually proceed to enumerate the number of lynchings in America are a set of jackasses. They count the number of LYNCHINGS in the past year, about the LYNCHERS. From here on when we assemble figures to prove something about the mob, let's list the number of calloused-hearted, condescenseless, inhuman bites that find perfume in dogs from roasted human gore.

Coupled with this fact, there are numbers of Negroes in Sherman who contacted the Rangers' office during that terrible hour, following the announcement that were the radio that were to be burned and that they relied on the telephone the information that "We are helples."

Avoiding the main streets, we drove in circles for fully thirty minutes. We were satisfied that we were in the colored section, but looked like the usual Negro habitat. Two Women Spied "Look!" I cried to my companion, "aren't those colored women coming yonder?" We let the car roll slowly and watched as the women approached the corner from a side street. As they approached, the car a little gas and a whirl and was by their side before they could realize what had happened. "Come here." I said to the nearest girl. She didn't move; she seemed to be in awe. She was standing not over three feet from the car. "Come here," I repeated, and she took one step forward. I finally got her up to the car and as she stood there I began to subside, for she finally said, "Ain't you all colored?" "Yes," I said, and I began to tell the story about the car being out of commission and the necessity of our finding some place to stay that night. "Mustaken for Soldiers" "Lord," I said, and the soldiers and that you had arrested me," said the older woman. In a few minutes they were busy telling us where we might get a place to stop. They said that they lived just one block away of air, when accessed by us. We followed them back a block and were able to secure a bed in the home of their aunt, an old woman who argued a long time with the girls in the school. She measured the distance. She finally was convinced by the girls that we were not white folks blacked up and we had found lodging in Sherman, Texas, for the night. The next morning we were up at lodge and constructed the soldiers in large numbers the night before when we slipped out to a little restaurant to eat. The presence of the soldiers gave us more confidence as to our security and we were determined to go down into the city and the whites who had wrecked such unseemly vengey upon innocent citizens. The car, of course, was the excuse for going down in town. We had to get the car fixed, at least that was the song we sang to everybody. It was for being there instead of Denison. The first repair man spent his time telling us how the car could not be fixed, so we left there and went on. He was the first to fix the main street, from which we were banned the night before. Soldiers were everywhere. At a filling station we were directed to another repair shop, where we were given a black face down town. Everybody seemed to be greatly interested in the sign on the front of that car, "Oklahoma City." The colored man at the repair shop saw the sign, too, and was much surprised, although he said nothing. At the Burned Courthouse Having made arrangements for the car to be fixed, we inquired the way to the telegraph office from the manhole, we made inquiries as to the distance to the burned courthouse from the Negro attendant. He said it was in the next block, so out we sauntered in and looked at the gutted county building was of no particular importance. It was the attitude of the whites who observed our presence where we found the greater interest. I really liked the manhole, in Sherman, Texas, who are ashamed of what has happened, than there are of the class who are proud. You know how proud a white man curiously looks at women. As they throughed down the streets past us, we could see them dropping their eyes and looking down. That bold stare with head erect of the white man was substituted the expression of the child when he is conscious of having done wrong. You could see them watching you out of the corner of the house, but always when you looked full in their faces, their eyes dropped. Whites Worked During Riot Whites worked during Riot as a bellattant wanted to be friendly. In fact, of the whites whom we accosted for many purposes seemed to be overly friendly in a sort of meekness, but the sincerity that springs from their brawnhood. "I tell you we have had an awful time here," he said. "We employees were right here where we had to work amid all of the Friday and Saturday, but we stayed on the job. I for the right thing," he continued. Lynching Q.K "I believe it was all right for them to go and burn that nigger, but I do not believe it was right to burn up the property of those who had nothired the trouble. I know Dr. Goodsell carefully and do not believe there is a better man in this town." he continued. We located a white photographer. He stated that he did not have any pictures made up of the burning and hanging, but would have more that evening. He asked us to come back next week to see how we could us to another picture shop across the street unstairs. No Pictures "Good morning," said the man as he came from the rear. "What can I do for you?" I thought perhaps you had made some pictures of the man who had been the Negro lynched which I could secure" I said. The man stood there a moment and his face began to take on a wholly different expression. finally he exploded. "I got any pictures," he shouted. "I think too much of Sherman, Texas, to take such a picture and let it be circulated in the world. The G-d d-m sons of—who burned up that courthouse be in hell, and I wished I knew some sort of a way to put them all there." Crying and Cussing He reached in his pocket for his handkerchief, as he paused for a spell, but he did not have to brush his eyes, although I believe tears would have gushed from them he had sailed in, and the moment he returned to another string of oaths and imprecations which he heaped upon the heads of the mob. We slipped on, but we had not given him a chance. We found our way to another shop around in front of the courhouse. "Yes, I have plenty of them," announced the man in this establishment, while we reached up on the shelf and took down a pile of pictures from which we selected five views. There certainly is a lot of difference between white, black, we found our collection. New Use for Radio Leaving down the town we went to the Negro section and listened for hours to harrowing stories of the black night spent. It was the radio Friday night, which had been put The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, May 24, 1930 ST.

Measure Appropriates Funds for Three Girls' Dorms and Classroom Building 758 GIRL STUDENTS Freedmen's to Get New Obstetrical Wing WASHINGTON, D. C.-President Hoover has signed the Interior Department appropriation bill, which carries a total of $1,249,000 for Howard University for the fiscal year, ending June 30, 1931. That is the largest amount ever contributed by the Government to that institution. The appropriation includes items of $350,000 toward the payment of salaries, $160,000 toward general expenses, $200,000 toward constructive expenses, a classroom building at a total cost of $460,000, and $399,000 toward the construction and equipment of three dormitories for girls. $624,000 for Freedmen's The measure also carries a total of $424,000 for Freedmen's Hospital, including $87,500 for subsistence, fuel and medicine, $150,000 for the construction tions of a hospital addition for obstetrical work. According to Dr. Mordecki W. Johnson, president of Howard University, the classroom building toward which the sum of $200,000 is appropriated is one of three building projects urgently needed for the university. The building is planned to relieve pressure on the present main building, to afford classrooms and professors' offices made necessary by the increase in the teaching staff and to make way for the relocation of the present main building recommended in a recent survey of the university by the Bureau of Education of the Interior Department. 758 Women Students The building of the three dormitories will solve the housing problem at Howard University, Dr. Johnson states. There are registered at Howard this year, 758 women, 474 of whom are in the undergraduate college. The other 285 homes outside of Washington. Howard University can house only 170 of them in the most crowded and unsatisfactory conditions. "The difficulty of securing proper living quarters on the university grounds is causing some parents to refrain from sending their daughters to Washington," the university is senting to Congress his request for additional dormitories.

DIRECTLY OPPOSITE LEXINGTON MARKET PHONE CALVERT 2090 BISHOP JONES SAYS LYNCHINGS START MIGRATION Boston. Urged to Befriend Negroes from the South FIGHT IS URGED Prelate Says He Doesn't Take Hat Off BOSTON, Mass.—Addressing a large number of Sunday morning worshippers at the Fourth M.E. Church, Right Rev. Robert E. Jones, presiding bishop of the New Orleans Area of the M.E. Connection, taking for his subject "The Good Samaritan," told his hearers that such an outrage as recently happened at Sherman, Texas, "would undoubtedly bring a large number of your brethren and sisters from the South." "These men and women of your race will be seeking freedom and fleeing from segregation, peonage, and lynch-law," he said, "be kind to them. Some will be crude and inclined to ungratfulness, but please display a Christian spirit, the spirit of the Good Samaritan, divide with them and help them to get cultivated to the ways of your cultured city." The prelate was attaining the wess session of the diocese of his church the building of Plaza Hotel, the largest and most aristocratic hotels in the entire East. He also stayed at the hotel during his visit. No Hat Off The quiet spoken bishop from New Orleans also told his listeners: "I love the man who is courageous, the man who will not back down because of his color or race. I have never taken off my shirt, I have man in man in man. Fight, fight, fight, the life that God has given to you, to live as you see fit." Pleading for help for members of the race who might migrate NATIONAL UNIVERSITY MEDICIES here the senior bishop declared: "I have never boasted of having much religion, in fact, I haven't much, but what little I have, it is enough to prevent me from sending away any one hungry or in need of clothes or help while I have plenty. Get that kind of religion, so you will help less fortunate members of your people. "It haunts me," declared Bishop Jones, "to have plenty to eat and know, that some one is hungry." Big Words Culture "Some people join the church for social reason," the bishop said. "Don't be of that kind. Christianity means to help and want, you to be that kind. Christianity means to air of culture by using big words." He was harsh in his criticism of men and women who attempt to display an air of culture by using big words. "Use them," he said, "real cultured people avoid them as much as possible, instead of using them. You should big ideas, depend upon your ideas to display any culture you want." The bishop dwelt at length on three different fundamentals of Christianity found today: "What is mine, mine, mine, when you want to display your Christian will say. What is mine is yours, I will divide, and what is yours is yours, to do as you please." "What is mine is mine, is not the philosophy I believe in," the bishop Snobbery of Society Speaking of social life, I am often for it. I am invited to more dinner, than I can attend, but that is the snobbery to society to give to those who are able to provide for themself. "Many so-called Christians are found occupying the amen seats in our churches today. We should avoid them and try to help the less fortunate members of your race.

George Wate WALTER WHITE TELLS WHY HE WON'T BE WHITE Heywood Broun Gives Answer to Question in the Nation WHITE A BLONDE Blue-eyed, Lad Helped Dad Repel Mob NEW YORK. — Blond, blue-eyed, sandy-haired Walter F. White, acting secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is colored, writes Heywood Broun in the May 21 issue of the N.Y. Nation. Says Broun: "There is no getting away from the fact that the Negro in America laborers under many handicaps. It would seem that any individual possessing the right of choice would inevitably choose to be white instead of colored. I wondered why Walter F. White chose to identify himself, which laborers in under such hardships would he could cross over, as very many light-colored men and women do each year. In order to set that point in my mind I finally asked him. "Why didn't you ever decide to become a white man?" I asked. "It must be hard to remain a Negro when you don't have to." I was born in Atlanta and my father, who is darker than I am, was a letter carrier of the Negro quarter. I was a nice house. One week-end there were rumors of race trouble. We tried to get my mother and I out of the outside city. They wouldn't go. Early in the evening the trouble broke. We were taken to a shophouse and stood at one of the two front windows on the second floor. He said, "You're not going to be a shophouse and stood at one of the two front windows on the second floor." He said, "Until they cross the edge of the law. When they get that close shoot and go on shooting as long as you Two or three hours later the white man came down our street and leaped stopper that damn nigger letter carrier." Before they reached the street fire and killed two men in the mob. The crowd swept down the block who had fired the shots. Several Negroes were killed. In the morning the soldiers came and martial law was put. But (said Walter White) I stood at the door waiting for them to cross the edge of the lawn. I was twelve years old. After that night I walked side side I was on. Checked Hoover "It is exciting to know," says Broun, "that President Hoover's efforts to put John J. Parker in the U. S. preeminent Court will prove through the efforts of a short and slight milieu in a five-room Harlem flat. "Walter White did the field work for the National Association of Teachers to triumph he may become one of the most powerful forces in American politics. It is a little ridiculous to refer to Mr. White as a teacher on the paper on which these words are printed. His eyes are of a Nordic blue and his hair is decidedly sandy. "In other parts of the world Walter White could be ranked as a Caucasian with a slight admixture of Negro blood. Here he is officially Negro because of some minute strain which has been biologically discounted. Of these he has Mr. White is a Negro largely from choice. The community has only his word for the fact that he is Negroid. He had chosen to call himself white no power on earth because he singled him out from his fel Passionate Propagandists "And yet this small blond Negro is among the most passionate propagandists. His waking hours and perhaps his dreams are given over to the question of race relations. Unlike some other Negro intellectuals, he is not a contempt and hatred for all things white. At least one does not get that impression from his courteous and friendly hearing. And he is pleasingly humorous for all the fire which burns inside. And he is a compromiser. The school of Know your place' finds no support from "Often I have envied him his chance to lead a dual existence if he so desires. As agent for the National Association he can go into the deepest portions of the Southern Bible belt and inquire about some act of violence or violence without ever knowing the local citizenry to that he is a black man investigating happenings for a Negro organization. The Fingernail Test "The phrase 'black man' is ridiculous enough in this case, but I am for the moment humoring the one-drop school of American thought, expression and school upon a fallacy. It is the proud boast of the more militant Nordics that they can't be fooled. If I pressed your fingernail like this, said a Southern gentleman my crossman crossing the Mississippi, I didn't right away if you had so much as one-thousand of a drop of Negro blood." And having said this the Mississippian did lean forward and press his finger. White. He never knew why the little blond man laughed at the end of the experiment." PENNSYLVANIA HARRISBURG HARISBURG.

Wobble, Wobble Precipitate ministers and prominent Masons to last week, through the public prints, called in Mayor William Broening of Baltimore to Governor Ritchie, the Democratic nominee-to-be, is wet, so is Mayor Breening. Maryland is ordinarily Democratic. Republican candidates, tq, win, must get dissatisfied Democratic dry votes. A dry Republican will stand a greater chance of carrying the state outside of Baltimore City than either Mr. Breening or Mr. Ritchie. Politicians point out that, in 1928, wet Democratic Bruce carried Baltimore City, but lost the state and the Senatorial election to dry Republican, Goldsborough. Just as Mason-minister committee which endorsed the mayor did so after "a thorough investigation of political conditions throughout the State of Maryland," so they say. While they may have investigated all over the state, they haven't investigated under their noses to find out where the mayor stands on— 1. On the equalization of colored and white rural teachers' salaries. 2. On the repeal of the Jim Crow car law. 3. On opening the University of Maryland to Negroes or providing of a colored State University. 4. On creating a state school for feeble-minded and placing reform schools for boys and girls under state auspices. 5. On naming Negroes on boards of state institutions set apart for colored people, and staffing each institution with a colored personnel. 6. On the question of Negro police in Baltimore. The committee admitted that none of these questions had been put to the mayor, and since the mayor's pocketbook has been opened, it is likely that, from now on, the committee will take orders, instead of asking questions. Citizens may well ask how the common people can benefit under such leadership as this. The answer is, first, this is not leadership. Members of the committee, because of their membership in what should be a great fraternity, are being used to exploit the people. It is also well to note that this committee does not include the substantial political leaders of the state whom the people themselves have placed in office. It is evident that should the voters be misled by any group which is rewarded in advance, only the committee benefits. After election, the common citizens find that they have only been tickled under the chin. On the other hand, the AFRO-AMERICAN does not believe that the people of Maryland are going to be misled by such ancient political methods. The kind of leadership which has foisted upon us Goldsborough, Timanus, and now Mayor Broening, hasn't left a good taste in our mouths nor are our memories as short as they used to be. Mr. Broening is an estimable citizen. As a mayor, he is a wobbler. He'll wobble even more as governor, especially with committees tying the hands of voters in advance. The committee admitted that none of these questions had been put to the mayor, and since the mayor's pocketbook has been opened, it is likely that, from now on, the committee will take orders, instead of asking questions. Citizens may well ask how the common people can benefit under this leadership as this. The answer is that this is not leadership. Membership, because of their membership in what should be a great fraternity, are being used to exploit the people. It is also well to note that this committee does not include the substantial political leaders of the state whom the people themselves have placed in office. Finally, it is evident that should the voters be misled into a group which is rewarded in only the committee benefits. After election, the common citizens find that they have only been ticked under the chin. On the other hand, the AFRO-AMERICAN does not believe that the people of Maryland are going to be misled by such ancient political methods. The kind of leadership which has foisted upon us Goldsborough, Taniman, and now Mayor Browning, hasn't left a good taste in our mouth; nor are our memories as short as they used to Mr. Broening is an estimable citizen. As a mayor, he is a wobbler. He will bobble even more as governor, especially with committees tying the hands of voters in advance. Annapolis Failures Annapolis Failures Announcement of the failure of Congressman Dpriest's two candidates for the U.S. Navy Academy at Annapolis came last week just after it became known that the candidate appointed by Congressman Gavagan, white, New York, had failed to pass the entrance examination. This matter of failures of colored candidates at Annapolis and West Point will bear pain and continued scrutiny. It is common knowledge that colored cadets are not wanted and that hostility has been shown not only by white cadets from the South but also by the instructors and officials. The word that can be said about Annapolis is that it is twice as bad as West Point; for the Nava Academy has never graduated a colored cadet and the navy has never had a colored officer. If one should graduate, the whole navy department Announcement of the failure of Congressman DePriest's two candidates for the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis came last week just after it became known that the candidate appointed by Congressman Gavagan, white, New York, had failed to pass the entrance examination. This matter of failures of colored candidates at Annapolis and West Point will bear patient and continued scrutiny. It is common knowledge that colored cadets are not welcome and that hostility has been won not by white by white cadets from the South, but also by the instructors and officials. The worst that can be said about Annapolis is that it is twice as bad as West Point; for the Naval Academy has never graduated a colored cadet and the navy has never and should not be compelled to the whole navy department be compelled to go into a huddle in order to out, where to assign him. All this being not only true, but quite apparent, our Congressmen may be assured that their candidates are being subjected both to ordinary and to extraordinary tests in the effort to disqualify them. There are tricks in all trades and military and naval examiners haven't given tests for over half a century without 'warning a good bit about their jobs. It is nice to think that our government is above class and race and religion; but who really believes that the policy of the United States Army and Navy is to employ Negro soldiers and sailors as menials and always to staff them with white officers. Where two or three men succeed in getting past all traps and snakes, they are assigned, like the late Colonel Charles Young, to Liberia, or like Colonel Benjamin Davis, to Wil伯力er. The policy of the Naval Academy and West Point is also to keep the Negro out by fairly careful but to keep him out. Readers of the FROC can rest assured, however, that there are no 'avail' 'no foul 'ns which are not unofficially employed toward the same end. Against such an iniquitous system, only super-qualified colored candidates have any chance. In physique, in courage, in temperament, in learning they must surpass the average of their own group and in addition that of nin- tenths of the white race. Lyncher Dan Governor Dan Moody of Texas issued a statement from Austin Saturday denying that he ordered Captain Frank Hamer, white, and his Texas Rangers, not to shoot anybody in the Sherman (Texas) riot, in which the courthouse was burned and George Hughes was lynched. The Associated Press which previously quoted Moody as saying: "Hold them if you can, but don't shoot anybody," carried a retraction. Captain Hamer now denies that he used the language above quoted as coming from the governor. He takes back now also his own alleged "reply to the governor": "That means they'll get the Negro." The first statement of the Associated Press was no doubt, correct; and the denial is probably a lie. Governor Moody had no idea that a little thing like a lynching party up in Sherman would create such wide-spread interest, and bring inquiries by phone and wire even from as far away as London. Texas, which leads the South in lynching, got one black eye by lynching a colored man as a part of the pre-celebration of the opening of the Democratic National Convention in 1928. Now the other eye feels the sting of criticism, but cannot get off by any such stereotyped means as Associated Press retraction.

The AFRO asks the Texas governor these questions: 1. If you didn't order the militia not to shoot, why was it that they didn't? The fact is, only one shot was fired by a soldier or ranger and that by accident. 2. Ten T xas Rangers repulsed the mob's first charge with tear gas bombs. When the supply was exhausted, who ordered them to retreat before the mob? Tuxes Rangers are supposed to rival the mounted police of Pennsylvania and Canada. One ranger single-handed, has been known to halt a riot. 3. Who ordered the 70 militiamen who were to Sherman to preserve order to barricade themselves in the jail when the mob's reign was at its height? 4. Why did you order the militia to carry guns and machine gun if they were not to use them under the threat there common underline that they wouldn't be used? 5.

One postponement took place after the invitation had been extended to Mrs. DePriest. The thirty-six hours before the scheduled time, the affair was cancelled, due to the illness of the late Chief Justice Taft, and to the accident which betell Mrs. Hoover when she fell and injured her hip. Mr. Taft has been mourned a month, but invitations have not been reissued for Mrs. Hoover's tea or for the usual Congressional Reception at which the President greets all members of Congress and their families. It begins to look as though Mr. Hoover had taken a leaf from the book of Roosevelt. If he has, he must do one of two things—either snub the DePriests or keep up the postponements.

I know fact that the first woman to be a candidate for that high office, in the State of Maryland, for years, has been a devoted friend of the colored race. Of course, I am not a partisan in politics. My heart I admire any person, whether or not I agree with the point at issue, who has the courage of his or her conviction to stand out in the open and firmly advocate a fundamental principle. It is Miss Gilman who proffered her residence some years ago, for the Villard "dinner, when a number of public places refused the act of Miss Elizabeth Gilman, the daughter of the founder and first president of the Johns Hopkins University, is the candidate of the Socialist party for the governorship any time she is elected for Miss Gilman or not. It is an interesting fact that the first woman to be a candidate for that high office, in the State of Maryland, for years, has been a devoted friend of the colored race. Of course, Miss Gilman will not be elected, but all that I am admire an person either or not. I agree that it is not issue, who has the courage of his or her conviction to stand out in the open and firmly advocate a fundamental principle in the face of popular disapproval. It was Miss Gilman who preferred her residence number of public places refused the accommodation of the guests because of the presence of colored people among those invited to the affair. Very properly, you have directed attention to the presence of the vote of Senator Tydings connection with the Parker case. A story is toid of a preacher who said that one road led to hell, and the other to fort damnation, whereupon a brother crises and would do nothing. Thus it may be that, such as are devoted to fundamental principle may find it inconvenient to vote either for the nominee of the Republican or the Democratic party. In such an emergency should they vote for Miss Gliman, they will encourage me to doubt that they emphasized their abhorrence of a "colorized in real democratic life." I am not advocating the election of Miss Gliiman, but with a personal acquaintance of many years, I am simply bearing testimony to her sincerity and devotion to fundraising. The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, May 24. 1930 THE WONDERFUL GIFT Nature was perfect—a world was made, And God's keen eye in His work's survey Saw man alone—purposefully done.

Then the first record of surgical skill, The "Great Physician" works with a will— Takes out a rib, man wakes in alarm, Finds lovely WOMAN, Miss EVE in arms; And when he looked in those beautiful eyes, Saw lovely face, knew twas PARADISE. Heard her sweet lips frame the words DADDY DEAR; Kissed the sweet mouth, felt that beautiful hair— Held her so close in a long embrace, Emotion, the bright blood to her face; And the first blush of a woman, so sweet, Made ADAM fall, yes he fell, at her feet.

But he would not give in, and I heard him say, "I am living now." While waiting my turn in a barber shop one day, two young men were in there talking; one seemed to be trying to persuade the other to do something against his will.

Still on the Outside After a Quarter of a Century, Declares Reader Who Thinks it Time to Elect Member of the Legislature. To the Editor: The colored people of the State of Maryland should be represented in the next legislature. It might be interesting to voters of today to know that a third of a century ago a vigorous and earnest effort was put forth in that direction. At that time, the Republican party was dominated by the city, and the State. The leaders had conceded representation, but at the critical moment broke faith. That was in the year 1897, and the effort was made in the first legislative district. The public meeting met in Haruagui Hall, East Baltimore Street. The Baltimore Sun, in reporting the proceedings of the convention, among other things, said: The colored people of the State of Maryland should be represented in the next legislature. It might be interesting to voters of today to learn that the party that earned effort was put forth in that direction. At that time, the Republican party was in full control, both in the city and the State, and the party that at the political moment broke faith. That was in the year 1887, and the effort was made in the first legislative district. The district convention met in Haraug Sun, Hall East, Baltimore. The Baltimore Sun in portions preceding of the convention, among other things, said: There was a "kick" from colored men when they learned that other men were colored. The fifth day was reached the party leaders placed in nomination Emanuel H. Jacobson, Joseph H. Jackson, and John C. Green, colored appointee John C. Green. "It will be almost impossible to carry this district without the aid of the colored votes. Without them the general election will be affected and the city could be jeopardized." I want to put it into your步子 as well as you know in your judgment. I do not think that there are many people who have the power to be the only people to be the only people to be the senior senator of Maryland and I disμεase of reelection, and he is prepared to take advantage of every condition to further his hopes. I am not sure to be so good to make a colored man. The colored people will feel that a line has been drawn unless you do so. If colored men are rejected on account of their color, it will affect the control of the city. It will affect the control of the city. If your步子 are split the colored vote. If the feeling is intensified, one of the next moves will be to break the allegiance of the colored people to their party. "In the campaign of 1805, the scene of colored teachers will white weeks was made prominent, yet, in spite of that the Republican party met with victory. I believe the nomination of a colored man would strengthen the market. We are in the power of the people."

MARGARET WYSONG SHAW, Day by Day BY WILLIAM N. JONES Bishop Cannon's Hands in Flesh Pots Negro churchmen might well watch the procedure of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, now in session in Dallas, Texas, in its effort to rebuke the Rt. Rev. James Cannon, Jr. for the messy condition of his hands after plunging them into the flesh pots of Wall Street. The good bishop was caught not only "short" in the recent financial crash, but "short" in liquidation of moral values set by the leaders in his own church, and faces trial and humiliation. We do not believe, as some do, that a minister should not participate in politics. We do believe that the minister should throw the church in every human fight where a principle is at stake. But we do believe that he should keep his hands free from selfish gains in so doing. Whenever any minister accepts pay of any kind in any form for participation in a political fight, he drags the ministry down into the mire of selfishness, even though that fight might be a righteous one. No minister who is willing to go out and give a good cause for humanity is worthy of the respect of laymen—and he will not keep that respect long. The most disinguisht sight this writer has ever seen at a political headquarters, was to see ministers in the pay line. We believe that every religious body should write one unalterable clause into its constitution or charter, and that should be to prohibit ministers from receiving any compensation for political activities. There is a growing cynicism among young people and the most obvious cause of this cynicism and of the growing drift away from the church is the open selfishness of some ministers of the Gospel. Added Sorrow for That Sherman was not only right when he said that "war is hell," but that war makes brutes of those who engage in it, is certainly demonstrated by the action of those in the War Department responsible for adding the word "war" to the Nazi Mothers must feel when they kneel at the graves of their sons who died to make the world "safe for democracy." The most perverted and unnatural thing a man can do is to deliberately insult a woman; and when it is a woman who has borne a son and has sacrificed this son in war, it becomes a processive murder that minutes the men from the order of gentlemen. No military blunder will be more costly than the action of those responsible for burying this stiltedio of racial prejudice into the already bleeding hearts of American Negro War Mothers, for there is not one single Negro youth who must fight in any future war whose hand this stiltedio hasaken and whose wrist it will not dull. It is not human that men, even Negro men used to insult, can forget an act like this. Certainly while men, used to the sacred and deep-seated respect which they give to their women, ought to understand what feelings they should have if their War Mothers were insulted by another nation, to say nothing of a portion of their own citizenship, but it is our opinion that there are few white War Mothers, even those from the far South, who would not gladly grasp the hand of any one of these Negro Mothers and welcome them on any boat. We believe that white motherhood, especially those who know what it means to bend over the grave of a butchered son, could not sink to the natural position to this degree. The fact is, we have been some what surprised that these white War Mothers themselves have not cried out in revolt. More Failures for West Point Posts Recent failures of all candidates for West Point and the Naval Academy should give Negro leaders as much, or even more concern than the color bars set up to keep them out of those institutions. It is easy to explain why the crop of young men appointed have failed to qualify through a type of competitive academic special training, but the failure to come some machinery which will give this special training is a direct reflection on Negro educational leadership. The carefully studied case of Alonzo Parham, who recently failed the second time to qualify for West Point, only adds to the conclusion, stated in this column some time ago, that some organized movement is needed to prepare young men for West Point and the Naval Academy should begin with youth in the high, and even in the elementary schools. As pointed out then, the special requirements in mathematics is less than half of the story. To enter either of these institutions requires a combination of physical and mental acquisitions. Evidently the candidates thus far put forward by Congressman DePriest's advisers, have been brilliant one way or another, but they have not measured up to the combination of qualifications required. There may yet be some underhand procedure which may act as a bar to Negro youth at these institutions, but these can be ferreted out and corrected. Failure, however, to meet any one of the various points of proficiency in mental and physical equipment, cannot be met by viewing the matter in the light of racial prejudice. There's no real reason to believe that young Partham, for instance, did not have a fair chance of that he has passed would have had and that he sat at West Point, even though his road would have been bumpy. If we ever get a foothold at the Naval Academy and West Point, it will be because some responsible organization takes as its work the specific preparation of young men in various sections of the country where they may receive appointments. The Laughs Behind the News The Laughs Behind the News B. RALPH MATTHEWS Last week's headlines announced that the political pot was simmering. That probably accounts for the four odor we've been detecting around here for the past few weeks. Of course, we don't mean to intimate that there is anything ootten about the flying campaign even though a few bad eggs are running for office. The state election ought to be pretty clean this year because so far the platform of both parties seems to be merely a soap box. But there won't be much mud simmering and candidates find bricks more effective. And speaking of platforms the one plank that would interest the common people would be a plank steak smothered with onions. They say that politics makes strange bedfellows, but we don't know when they have a chance to sleep together because most of the politicians we know hang around speak-casies all night. They explain that they are studying the situation to see if they should run on a net or dry ticket. It is a painful picture and information, but there is no sense in getting so full of knowledge that you have to be carried out on a stretcher. Prohibition will not be an issue in the coming election because the wets are pretty well used as things are the drys the drys can all get they want to drink too. . . . There is a movement on foot to keep some of our ministers out of the election this year because politics are crooked enough as it is. One man declared that he wished they had elections more often because he has almost smoked up the cigars he got last time. One thing we can be certain of is the best man always wins, but he is seldom a candidate. There ought to be a plank to repeal the Sunday blue laws because a fellow who doesn't like to go to church has twenty-four hours on his hands what to do with. . . . He can't even sit around and smoke his pipe in comfort without being afraid that the police will pounce upon him and charge him burning brush on the sabbath. The only way a man can enjoy a peaceful Sunday in Baltimore is to get in his auto and drive to Washington. . . . Rich folks can play golf, but poor peep cannot go to the movies. They should modify the law so the theaters could be open on condition the patrons wear knickers and carry a bag of clubs. . . . They could hire caddies to do their chapping when they enjoyed themselves and whenever a movie-goer was going to break out laughing he could holler "Fore." "The Bible says to "Remember the sabbath day and keep it holy," but slamming people in jail for breaking this commandment was an original Baltimore idea. . . . Some steps should be taken to make Baltimore a decent place for sinners to live in. A guy who goes to heaven should have the right to go there of his own accord and not be carried there by a policeman. Week's Poem THE BATTLE By Edgar A. Guest Cleaning the office hall. A woman people hurried by Without the turning of an eye Or thinking of at all. A woman scrubbing, day by day, The tracks of muddy feet away Perhaps 'twas something in her glance. Or was she merely happy chance I questioned her today. "Why do you hum rht song of joy?" Said she: "I have a little boy, Much good of him they say. "He studies hard. His teachers tell That he is doing very well. A loving lad is he. And while I mop away this pool I think shall my boy in school And what some day hell be." Oh weary woman on the floor, And when our boys shall grow. You may succeed with mop and pail Where I with luxuries may fail- But that we cannot know. Etiquette 1. Is it all right for persons in a show to talk and whisper when there is speaking or singing on the stage? 2. Is it all right for someone illness, is it all right for some member of the family, or the nurse, to write a note of appreciation for some gift? 3. If a girl is guest in a oat at an opera, she should she introduce a man who comes in to speak to her, to her hostess? 4. Is an entertaining at bridge, what should one serve for refreshments? Answer 1. No; nor should they at any time when it will make it difficult for someone else to hear what is going on. 2. Yes. 3. Yes unless the hostess is in conversation with someone else. 4. A hot dish, or some satisfying sandwiches. "Africans have much in common with us as wit and wisdom expressed in our proverbs, and we know the notion that they are in an inferior and barbaric state.

The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly Chips From the Quarry The Proofreader Talks No doubt some of the confusion in the formation of the possessive case is due to what people see in newspaper headlines. It is not uncommon to see in headlines such forms as, ROBERTS' CONFIRMATION MEETS WITH OPPOSITION The person's name in this case is Roberts. and the failure to add an "S" after the apostrophe, in the most of such cases, is due to lack of room in the line. Some newspapers carry the same style into the reading matter, where the lack of room cannot justify it. No one should allow himself to be misled by the license permitted the headlines. For example in an all-cap line "M'DONALD" (an apostrophe in the place of a small "c") is permitted for reasons that printers will understand. Also, we may, in a squeezed omit the "and" in such cases as "Johnson, Fitzgerald Were the Winners." And many other abbreviations and contractions are tolerated in headlines that would not be permissible in ordinary reading matter. Where necessity requires a variation from correctness, let it be done; but always with a consciousness of the fault, to avoid it. For the better grade of work can safely permit himself to slide down to the slipshod practices of the lower grade newspapers. Hacks are bad, but hard to break—especially bad habits. We should also bear in mind that, what is permissible in one situation may be inadmissible in another. For instance, it may be permissible to eat one's bacon to the mouth with one's fingers, or to use the same spoon alternately to lift one's scrambled eggs or stir one's coffee; or such. But one one's bacon in a hotel dining room, or even at one's home table. So with language. F. H. M. M. Bishop Hurst Mourned in Florida (From Jacksonville, (Fla.) Sentinel) When he (Bishop Hurst) first came to Florida, practically all of the minors in churches were a bad financial straits. The college was running at low ebb while the church morale was lower still. By diligent work and constant ministry, ministers in automobiles, owned by the churches; lifted most of the church mortgages and placed them in splendid condition; gave Edward Waters a new lease on life and built a new church. They are owned by any of the southern Methodist colleges. Bishop Hurst was a believer in Negro ability and Negro enterprise. He was not a great wind-jammer but a mighty dog. He was a businessman and helped to give employment to Negro boys and girls. As a director of three Florida insurance companies, he occupied an enjoyed the highest degree of confidence with the best mankind in insurance leaders in the history of the state. The Methodist ministry of Florida is indebted to him: Negro business is indebted to him: Florida owes him much. For sixteen years he was a shining light in energetic and statesmanlike work, statesmanlike work, statesmanlike work, and development of the social, business and moral forces of this state. Negro Republican Votes are Thrown Away For years the colored man has thrown his vote away. According to a time-honored phrase, any candidate could say when he is a Republican. Save in a few local elections, this group has exercised a negligible function because it was so faithful. One speech a year about Abraham Lincoln can keep the Negro a good party man. But now the realization has come that Lincoln is dead and that Herbert Hover does not prey on shooters like the white Walter Hite, acting secretary of the National Association, was in Washington and played hard and aggressive politics. He said to weak-knuckled Negroes: "If you vote to confirm Judge Parker I will campaign against you in your own district, and I will teney Negro that if He votes for you he is a traitor."

Only an Einstein Can Understand President Hoover The Anti-Negro Southern Policy of the White House is Clear Only to a Political Genius, says Kelly Miller. Defeat All Senators who Supported Parker, is the Rally Cry. By KELLY MILLER The Negro has gained a decisive victory in the Parker case. The labor and the colored contingencies found up against the first time, lined up against the first time, though on entirely different principles. The temporary union has no significance beyond this incident. The Negro, however, has much to learn from the political methods of organized labor. In England, there were only organized labor party, competing with the national government. In America, labor does not organize politically, but throws its support to this or that candidate favorable to its cause, regardless of the political party. In this way it aims to secure desired political position without the responsibility for political machinery. Hitherto, the Negro, in the main, has attached himself to the political fortunes of one political party, with unweanable political power, the language of the popular song, he is wont to sing to the G.O.P. "Wherever you go, whatever you do. I want you to know. I'm following you." Dog-Like Fidelity to the G.O.P. The utter fatiety of this dog-like fidelity has been abundantly demon- tized. The last seven administrations. The last one not successfully organize a distinctively Negro party. He lacks the means. Several such abortive attempts serve as a warning. John Mitchell's candidacy for Governor of Virginia, and Ashleigh Hawkins' candidacy for Senator from Maryland were but vindictive repsisals against the assertive movements. The movements did not possess the substance or stubbornness to survive a single campaign. As long as political movements seek or attempt to form from either of the outstanding parties, they must do the bidding of their supporting bosses. Messrs. Work and Haskob each spend their time housed in their respective House auxiliaries during the last national campaign, and, presumably, got the support they paid for. It will be so well known to theenchanging G.O.P. campaign. Those leaders who register under the banner of the G.O.P. and who accept its financial amenities, will support the regular candidates, regardless of their The revolt that gave the Grand Old Party its greatest jolt during the last year of his presidency and his Elks, whose complaint could not be assuaged by the traditional soothing syrup. The Afro-American and the Chicano leaders stood up to the last Hitherto the wise guys of the G.O.P. were in the habit of awarding a few hundred dollars to the local editor, but to assure its support and good will Congressman DePriest The fight is now on. Congressman DePriest has declared war to the knife on all Parkerites. With an amazing audacity, which included the auction of Congressional courtesy, he went into the Senate Chamber, and noted and designated each Senator for political slaughter who voted after. I sat in the Senate gallery and watched the Bleege as he had inserted in the Congressional Record the copy of the AFRO-AMERICAN article containing Mr. DePriest's threat to this effect. I wondered at the South Carolinian's political position, and thrown down the gauntlet. Who follows? Will Mr. DePriest dare follow out his doctrine to its logical conclusion? When the party bosses put on the doughty Chicago Congressman against Fess and McCullough? Will the John R. Hawkins Negro Republican League do likewise? If not they receive directions and expect favor at the hands of the G.O.P. The N.A.A.C.P. Stands with DePriest The N.A.A.C.P. has advised this vindictive policy from the first. It believes in revenge. It wears a lab-ab-ab. It follows the same fellow and exerts little political influence. Walter White now comes into focus as the hero of the hour. The N.A.A.C.P. stands with age-old priests. He supports a age-old principle of friendship of Fess and Shortridge and the rest, let us defeat every Parker Senator, Senator. The N.A.A.C.P. So say, a present, of Negro opinion supports this contention. Will they be able to blend the blandness of persuasion with the party managers know how to use at election time? Are our wild politicians, who risk for Mr. Hoover's favor, to risk their whole polity fortunes on a pitch and toss? single these times which try men's these leaders must forego their hope of administrative force. Hoover must be prepared understand that he can hope to retain the his lily-white policy. So far, he has never designed to seriously discuss the meaning and motives of this policy with an audience. If so, he did incidentally, and not for the enlightenment of the masses. Mr. Hoover's Purpose Beyond Understanding The Republican party is in a most serious predicament and put the amendments into the Constitution. Mr. Hoover's lily-white method of tempting to push the Grand Old Party Southward粉碎 these amendments and makes them affect. It may be that Mr. Hoover has in the back part of his mind some deep-seated and sweeping purpose the Southern people of his Southern nation it would take a genius of the order of Einstein to explain it to the satisfaction of the ordinary Negro.

YORK DEMOCRATS MAKE OVERTURES Tammany Working to Get All There Is From Hoover Mistakes. : ROOSEVELT BOOM Governor Looms as 1982 White House Timber. NEW YORK—That Democratic leader is not only grooming Governor Roosevelt for the 1932 presidential race, but are carefully planning to bid for the support of Harlem Negro voters, is seen in the drift of several political moves recently made. Not only are the Tammy chieftains strengthening their own fences, but they are working to drive deeper the wedge made in Republican camps by the Hoover mistakes. Judgeship Example Political observers point to Rosevelt's signing of the rent and age agenda. When these measures came up for consideration during the Al Smith administration the governor sanctioned them. But when two Negro Republicans fought for their passage in the New York City Rosevelt immediately signed the bill. $12,000 Plum Politicians are also asking themselves the question will the new judgeship be filled in a non-partisan way. present, there are about seventy candidates for the positions which will be opened on the bench, to say nothing of the minor appointments which must naturally be made. The judgeships are open to judges. The other positions are by appointment and by civil service examinations. It is a definite runner in New York that a judgeship costs the seeker $25,000. Which of the colored aspirants will put that under his choice? Both, the Republicans and Democrats, colored, of Harlem are eveing this proposition eagerly. Election to the bench for a term of seven years at a salary of $12,000 per year plus the cost of the position is not to be squeezed at. Delaney Defeat That the Delaney defeat in Harlem could also be used to pry a large number of colored voters away from the Democratic party, which is also pointed out by leaders here. There is little doubt that were the Democrats to name a colored man, he would win. That is just how strong the Democratic National District, which not only takes in Harlem, but a large section of the Bronx, there are no colored residents, comparatively speaking, and but a colored congressman in Washington with Deprist is a question being debated here. There is no question as to the political work of Harlem. The city is Democratic through and through. There are just two or three spots in the city belonging to the Republicans and Harlem, and the Democratic candidates for office count on Harlem as being their own and nine times out of ten they are right. In the meantime Heer is being roundly questioned by colored voters. His attitude many questions being misunderstandable. Her Fourth Husband is White Plumber DOLORES ELIZABETH FORD white.

KLAN PROPOSAL OF MEMORIAL BAY BAREA CAUSES, STR. MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. (ANP)—With several units declaring that they will withdraw if the Ku Klux Klan is allowed to take part in the Memorial Day parade here, the com-mission is expected to refuse its request, some of its members declare. The story printed in the New York Times recently illustrates the point, that a final citizenship paper was asked the question, "Who is President of the United States" "Al Smith," he replied quickly. "I asked you, who is President of the United States" his interrogators continued. "Al Smith," again came from the Italian "You are wrong, there. Al Smith ran for the presidency," came the information. "Well, when he run for office," replied the Italian, "they tell me, if Al Smith is made President, there will be no work, there will be bread lines, there will be riots, the country will go to hell. All this is true so Al Smith must be President!"

Mr. Morrow did not attack prohibition as a policy, he did not wish to recall the saloon, he did not even believe that prohibition is necessarily a blow at the freedom of the individual; he did not believe that experience has been attempted in the wrong way, and that it can be better carried on in "48 laboratories" than in a single, congested institution. In urging this view, Mr. Morrow is obviously aware of the fact that he has broken with his own beliefs here is where Mr. Morrow became a person of great interest to the Negro of the nation. Hoover Disappoints Mr. Hoover has been as great a disappointment to the Negro as was Mr. Taft, and in a much more provoking way. The entering of Representative Fort is a great military contest, is unmistakably in effect, a White House entry into the Senatorial campaign. Representative Fort is amongst the stalemuch and closest of the presidents in the country. He played at Kansas City in 1928 in pressing down the crown of thorns upon the brow of the Negro delegates at that convention, points very clearly the duty of the Negroes in Jersey in this primary next month. There will, no doubt, be denials of this latter fact, but denials, or no denials, the fact remains, or he hands off or even to take a neutral position. His silence is bound to be construed both as a thrust at Morrow and a good word for Fort. He cannot very well wish the ambassador the best of his support for him to appoint the congressman. To Lick Frelinghuysen Then there is Mr. Frelinghuysen. The Negroes of New Jersey helped, like him once, and it is to be hoped that they stand ready to make an even better job of it this time, for certainly no worse friend of the colored people has ever served in the United States Senate from New Jersey than Mr. Frelinghuysen, hence another cause for the blacks in New Jersey forming four square for the Honorable Dwight W. Morrow. Unless some miraculous changes take place between now and the Republican National Convention in 1922, Mr. Hoover is through. He has lost the West; he has lost the Negro and he has lost a lot more than we shall set down here at this time. Even though Ambassador Morrow should never become Senator, the way he has brought this paramount issue to the fore and the way he has handled it, he has made himself the logical contender for the Presidency. And it does not take a particularly brilliant mind to see that the man whom the East is going to put forward from his time on, is former Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow of New Not surprising, therefore, is it to learn that White House satellites, hence upon the "one-term flag," look upon the ambassador as a dangerous person. Brooklyn Y.W.C.A.

Railway London May Deport American Musicians Minister of Labor Acts as Native Musicians Complain of Unemployment LONDON—Deportation of large numbers of American jazz band musicians, as well as theatrical performers, is probable, according to an announcement made by the Minister of Labor to booking agents, producers and restaurants, who are employing them in violation of the alien labor permit laws. Under the present law aliens are granted permits of six months' duration provided it can be proved that they are wanted to do work that Brittons are unable to do. Many permits have been renewed several times, but now the British musicians, who have been thrown out of work by the talkies, are protesting. The British Musicians' Union charges that the American musicians at the end of the six months usually remain unemployed but wait on until a new job is found. It is said that the peacock of night clubs restaurants and other places of amusements, prefer American Negro musicians and performers, hence their employment in violation of the law. A similar action was recently announced on the part of several German cities. PETER HARRIS PHONOGRAPH D.C.

With all that has been written about the play, "The Green Pastures," this writer discovered something that no writer, to date, has revealed. So sticking my good thumb in my weskil I rush in print to tell you that Moses, in this delightful Connellly table, stutters. Now whether in the good old days B.C. (Before Censors) Moses demonstrated an impediment in his speech, this writer cannot say, but the 1930 edition, this character undoubtedly stutters.

That a certain Harlem whopee center will soon reduce its couvert charge because the Nordic patronage has dwindled, and that the sepian patronage, once frowned upon, is going to continue to stay away, though it is more than welcome now. That Eubie Blake, the planner wiz would rather hear the entertainers in Jerry's in Harlem than those in any other spot. That a certain taxi in town will take five passengers from Drudl Hill Avenue and McMcohen Street to the princely sum Back in the Bible days (according to "The Green Pastures") when prohibition agents were not thought of, a tradition which has been perpetuated, it was evidently in good form, and most assuredly in good taste, to take a nip of spiritus frumentum once in a while. Tasting some custard that is served him, the Lord, commenting upon its merit, remarks that it seems to lack a little "firmament," and when informed that none had been used because the supply had been deleted, proceeds to make a little "firmament," with the aid of lightning and thunder, probably the origin of the present white lightning. The custard is immediately improved. Old Man Noah includes among his supplies on that forty-day and forty-night, and cruise, a barrel of "firmament," only because the Lord refused permission to carry two. Herein originated the tradition of seeing snakes when one becomes more than lick. That you won't find a real Hebrew who will quote you a price as "two dollars and a half."

That You Might Know Just because it is possible that you might be interested, let this department inform you that you can now play the numbers on the deferred payment plan, which is nothing else but the old installment plan dressed up with a high falutin' name. Instead of giving the numbers runner your money every time he writes you a ticket you may now have sent to you at the end each month as statement of the amount you have spent chasing an inclusive digits. There are many people, I'm told who pay their monthly numbers bill with more punctuality than they do those little statements sent them by the butcher and the grocer. Some of the customers, so the story goes, do not even ask to see the daily slips containing the numbers that they have played, asking only for a blanket statement of the money they owe. Knowing some of the runners as I do, I can understand why they are wearing that smile of prosperity that just won't rub off. Think This Over A certain matron, whose matriominal bark has gone more or less on the rocks, remarked to me the other day as she was polishing the gold finger band system of my wife, but it be nice if one could polish up his or her married life in the same way that one polishes up a wedding ring? Think how different things would be!" There is much in this philosophy; if one ponders it, and on the other hand, isn't it true that we can polish up a gold that glitters? I think that I've seen some unions that were just like that.

LONDON.-Living here, where she was born, is Miss Ira Aldridge, daughter of the famous Shakespearean actor. Miss Aldridge is one of the leading vocal teachers in England, and has coached several of our leading Negro singers, among them being Roland Hayes, and Paul Robeson. She is also a composer of merit. Miss Aldridge began her career as an early age when she was selected as one of nine students by the famous Jenny Lind for special lessons given by Miss Lind. Miss Aldridge proved a very apt pupil, as two letters in Miss Lind's own hand testify. For many years she appeared on the concert platform, and then devoted herself to teaching, during time she has trained many English singers, who are now famous. Composed Many Numbers Composed Many Numpers Her compositions, which are many and popular, are frequently heard over the radio, at the moving picture theaters, or are played by leading military bands. Some them are: "Carl Schulz," "Assyrian Love Song," and "Tchaka" (great Zula King). Miss Aldridge's music-room is filled with memesents of her distinguished father—the costumes in which he played Othela, the medals, presents, and letters of congratulation sent by most of the leading monarchs of his day—the Czar of Russia, the Kings of Prussia, Denmark, and the Emperor of Austria, as well as from other societies and from the continent. The gold in the medals he received alone, was valued at $10,000. No Aim. "ican, black or white, before or since, has received the honor that Has Invalid Sister Miss Aldridge's mother was English, and of a very good family. Another sister, Laurannah, an invalid, is still alive, and lives with her in her charming home at 2 Bedford Gardens, Kensington, W. Miss Ira is keeping alive the Aldridge tradition by her accomplishments, and is a lady of unusual charm. Ira Aldridge was born in Maryland. Miss Aldridge has a warm spot in her heart for Americans, and welcomes American students, who can be assured of an excellent teacher.

NEW YORK. — (ANP) — Now that “The Green Pastures” is a decided hit, the stage manager is experiencing the woes which attend the production of an yshow which features colored performers. When the show first opened, the call board demanded that the performers be the theater at 7:40. The purpose of the fact that the curtain did not rise until 8:45. “Half-hour” was called at eight o'clock, thus giving the actors time to be on hand for a twenty-minute lee-way before the regular hour for arrival at the theater. The second call of fifteen-minutes” thus came at 8:15 and at 8:30 everybody was supposed to be on the stage. The twenty-minute period of grace established, the actors began to grumble over the early hour necessary for them to be on hand. Actors Arrive Late They immediately began taking liberties with the time. Some started arriving at eight o'clock. This did not matter very much, as they still had forty-five minutes in which to get ready. Those arriving after eight however, were checked as late. Then things began to happen. Some got the chance that they could stay out till after eight o'clock, dropping in as it were at 8:15, and young lady even went so far as to walk into the theater at 8:25. Stage Manager Balks Here was where the stage manager showed his hand. When this particular young lady walked the theater, she the manager had her as to where she was gone. He said nothing, but let her go ahead and dress for a regular performance, but when she came downstairs, she was not asked to lose a car on, but it was a golden opportunity for the understudy who had her role! This did not occur once, it happened several times, with various men still the cast—many of whom still grumbling because of the early hour they are required to be present. But the rule stands, and unless the stage manager weaks, the Green Pastures' cast is in for a challenge. Much needed is said because of the fact that many of the performers have appeared in other shows where rules were violated. The actors were made of the things which he on good and prouer" was gambling in the dressing rooms. He ruled it out positively and threw it to fire the first member of the cast he told them to kill this rule after he told them so. Fox Had Trouble Which brings to mind the wards of an executive of the Fox Film Company who very positively declares that his organization is the sought after company in the making of *Hearts in Dixie* and would not attempt any further experiments with an entire colored unit. Although Hearts in Dixie did all itself and inlaid in all of the country where it was shown without and adverse criticism. Fox refused to make further pictures in the same broadway showing at a "special" house-ended in such a way as to make a sequel almost a necessity. But the bitter experience the man produced any such ambition. What happened with the show "Harlem" is history—where rebellious members of the film industry coated its closing far earlier than ticket sales indicated. Hubby Hangs Around Leslie had his troubles with the cast—and as a producer and director, he was always alive with the music alive that the aforementioned Mr. Lew Leslie. One girl lost her job in one of his shows because her time was gone. The door for her. Leslie advises all of his employees to keep their love affairs outside of the theatre and are not allowed to follow the trouser to Europe and came back to America in high fettle. Unless the movie happens, the Pastures will give Perry "a close run for honors."

LONDON RAVES OVER ROBESON IN OTHELLO Audience in Frenzy as American Negro Makes Debut in Shakespearean Drama TAKES 20 ENCORES Biography by Wife Published Same Day of Triumph LONDON—Making his debut in Shakespearean drama, Paul Robeson, actor and singer, gave such an impressive performance in the title role of "Othello," Monday night, that the audience at the Savoy rose in a body at the close of the play, forcing the curtain to be raised and lowered twenty times. Veterans of the theatre say that no such demonstration has been accorded an actor in a London theatre in many years. From all parts of the house came cries for Robeson, as the last lines were spoken. "I Am So Happy" A special cable to the New York Times saves: Finally the American Negro actor, who never before had appeared in a Shakespearean part yet was a strong favorite in musical pieces, came to the front of the stage. "I took the part of Othello," he said, "with much fear. Now I am so happy." That wasn't enough, and he brought him back with Miss Peggy Ashcroft, the Desdemona, and after more frank appeals, Miss Ellen von Volkengen, the American producer, was induced to come forward and share the hon- Prepared Six Months Robeson had been preparing for the part of Othello for more than six months. He was, after deciding to play the Moor, proceeded to train for the underbyaking by sleeping himself in Shakespeare's play, himself and his people with the tragedy of Othello. Whether Shakespeare conceived the Moor as an Ethiopian whose only concession is a mustache and a short well-trimmed beard. For nobility of mind he was not afraid. It is difficult to think the part could be better played. Role is Tragic In his "Othello" there was tragedy of a race. There was quiet, instant authority in the earlier scents and the Moor's love for Desdemona was a tender, precious thing. In the Senate he obviously was the strong man of Venice, and spoke the famous lines, "Her father loved me, oft invited me," quite unaffectedly. Until Iago let drop the first hint of suspicion. Othello was a deep, mighty river, flowing serenely. After the calm was ruffled Robeson expressed with extraordinary power the storm that rose and fell until the final tragedy was reached. Here the actor gave the impression of a priest about to perform a holy rite. "It is the cause, it is the cause, my soul." It was a quiet, moving and pitiful climax to a tragedy of honor rather than of jealousy. Lives the Part Robeson lives the part imaginatively and, of course, his greatest asset is his magnificent voice, which he uses perfectly. There is only an occasional trace of American accent in his speeches and he shows fine appreciation of the flow and rhythm of verse. Wife's Book Out On the same day of his debut, the biography of the actor, "Paul Robeson; Negro," written by his wife, Mrs. Elanda Goode Robeson, was released by the publishers, but the book will be published later in the United States by Harpers. Recounting Mr. Robeson's honors as an athlete and scholar at Rutgers, the book tells of his forsaking the la, after graduating from the Columbia University in 1982 and entering Eugene O'Neill's "Emperor Jones," and later in "All God's Chillun Got Wings." In the former play and in "Show Boat," the actor has twice appeared on the Lonely Island. The frontisplee of the book is a photograph of Einstein's bust of Robeson now being exhibited in Venice. Billy Sunday on the Air Billy Sunday, white jim-crow evangelist, who has guided thousands up the "sawdust trail" to cover 6000 acres in Rader's Breakfast. Bridge during the week of May 26, from 8 to 9 a.m. Homer Rhode-heaver, for years associated with Sunday, who is no longer available, will be heard during the week's broadcasts.

Broughton and McDonald in Europe has been so pronounced that she is soon to sail for another foreign tour. Miss Anderson gave one group a concert in New York and McDonald. Her rendition of this well written song was excellent. The others in the group were Music Where We Go, a song by the rendition of these and "Les Bercere" and the Al de Lia from Debussy's opera "La Enfant Prodigue," which were added at the evening performance, was no less perilous. **Svoles Voce Range** The last named number gave her more chance to show her voice than did the others. Miss Anderson was accompanied by William King. Fisk Singer's Uncle Perhaps the outstanding feature of the program is the afternoon and evening the choral numbers. The Fisk Jubilee Singer, composed of four men and two women, with melodious and beautifully blended voices were outstanding and effectful their interpretation, and individual, including popular favorites as "Robbie Knows de Trouble I See," and "Steel Away." Howard Club Good Howard *The Hearst University Glee Club of twenty-four male voices, under the direction of Rov W.

Process Speeds Record Stamping 100 Times Phonograph record making has been speeded 100 times by the discovery of durium, figures in the "Bite-of-the-Week" record show. While 700 ordinary records are being made, 70,000 of these new durium-processed discs can be turned out in a matter of minutes, which require time for hardening, the durium records can be made at the speed of a printing press, for the durium of which they are made. It is impossible to time the action. As a result the discs can be stamped out six at a time from metal dies, instead of requiring many of the presses are expected to boom phonograph record sales throughout the country during 1830, for the ease and speed of making records, quantities at one-fifth the price of ordinary records. It is estimated that the increase in phonograph record sales, which was 1927, will be substantially toned this year. The new substance, which is the discovery of a Columbia University professor, is flexible, and which its makers claim will outlast any other record on the market. It was introduced recently in the books here at fifteen cents each, the most popular dance hit of the week being recorded weekly. Since its introduction here phonograph record sales in the vicinity have boomed, figures show. The entire output was absorbed by the demand and the demand is said to have stimulated sales of other records as well.

It was amazing to hear of so much progress. "Yet, while Paul Robeson is rehearsing for 'Othello,' a part which I expect will be hailed by distinguished, knowing all the circumstances, to learn that there was a difficulty as to where he should sit on the first night of 'Honeye.' I do not realize all the challenges we hard to overcome. Thought changes slowly." "Would Be Unwise" The manager, with Maurice Brown, said that it would not be wise to put Mr. Robeson in the stalls. "If he is your guest, he said, 'have him in your box.' Then no can be in the back box was found for the great artist.

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. — That Morgan College has carried its athletic rivalry to a point of prejudice, is offered as the probable reason why she failed to invite Lincoln University to join the Inter-Collegiate Dramatic League. Other members of the League are Hampton, Union, Virginia State and Morgan. The News further adds: "The purpose of the League is to foster friendship and the development of dramatics. All this is very good but just why was Lincoln slighted? Was it a mere oversight or intentional?" Suggesting that the reason may be due to bitter athletic rivalry between the schools, the Lincoln public schools, "Whenever the athletic teams of Morgan and Lincoln are pitted against each other a brawl is certain to follow. But there isn't any particular reason why the drama in civic society should arm itself almostly further, fact as the cultural and side, they should seek to be above that ill feeling." N.Y.

He is here now and prominent in fraternal circles. Watch for name in this space next week. THE LAST CHAPTER I A harsh voice warned Rod that it would be better for him to make no outcry. A pair of iron-like hands gripped each of his arms, making resistance futile. He was hustled out of a door. The cool air struck his face with a welcome rush. His captors half carried, half dragged him across the sidewalk and pushed him roughly into an auto-mobile. At once the machine slid, its motor roaring. His to this house if a cruiser squad should happen to drive by." "We better cart him along with us then." Accordingly, they picked up the unconscious Kelly, and carrying him to the car, threw him into its rear. The machine jolted along over rough streets. Kelly, used to hard licks, recovered more quickly than his captors expected. Cautiously his hands stole around over the floor of the car in search of a weapon. He was rewarded with a heavy jack handle. In the front seat the driver climbed to his companion. "Cripes, Kid! The Chief sends us to get rid of one bozo, and now we've got another one on our hands. What we gonna do with this one?" KELLY ESCAPES Kelly settled their problem for them. Cautiously raising himself to the level of the seat in front of him, he raised his heavy weapon and brought it forcefully down upon the head of the man who sat beside the driver. As the driver turned, Kelly suddenly descended again with sufficient force to make the driver crumple up behind the wheel. The car headed straight for a telephone post. Kelly reached over the body of the driver and steered the steering wheel. He guided the car along the middle of the street, while he clambered on the running board and pushed the unconscious driver uncremially to one end of the car and pulled on the brake. For a minute he peered down the street trying to decide where he was. Then he got out of the machine and proviled around in the compartment under the rear seat until he found a bundle of heavy cord. With this he tied the hands and feet of his unconscious victims, and heaved them into the back of the car. This done, he again started the car. He drove along slowly for blocks, but the part of town in which he found himself was unfamiliar to him. He tried vainly to retrace his course to the house. As the minutes lengthened into hours he decided to seek aid. At the first police station he was able to find, he got out. The desk sergeant listened to his story sleepily, then as he told of Rod's abduction, sat upright with a sharp jerk. "That must be the Kid that the Federal agents sent out a city-wide alarm on," he cried. "Briggs, get headquarters," he snapped at the dozing telephone operator. "Let's go out and have a look at these bozos you got in the car," he suggested to Kelly. The two men reached the sidewalls just in time to see the car moving slowly away from the curb. The police officer bumped him, his volver and fired rapidly. The man at the wheel of the machine slumped over as the machine bumped over the carburetor when they reached the other man who was caught down fearfully, as though he expected more bullets. ONE GANG TAKER'S SUGGESTION A look at the driver disclosed the fact that he was badly wounded. At the scene, the other man had run from the station with drawn guns. As the sergeant commanded two of them to get the wounded man into the station house and call the police. The captive by the collar and dragged him roughly back to his office. "Well, you better remember quick!" the officer snapped at him threateningly. "Honest to God. I don't know," the prisoner whined. "My buddy took me to the place. I just helped him on the job." Kevin remembered that Rod had a large sum of money when he was at the Swamp Hunt. "Where's the dough you guys took off my partner?" he asked. The sergeant looked at him inquiringly. Kelly explained that Rod had more than twenty-six thousand dollars in his pocket when he was abducted. "My buddy's got that," the prisoner said readily. The sergeant leaped up and went to where the other policemen had laid the wounded man on a bench. A search disclosed the thick bundle of money reposing in his coat pocket. The policeman handed him to Kelly. Then he took the man who lay on the bench roughly. "What was the number o' the place where you took that prizefighter?" he asked harshly. The man lolled his head from side to side and groaned, but seemed unable to Impatiently the sergeant dashed back into the other room to the other prisoner. Ominously he drew out his blackjack. "See this, fella?" he asked signifi- Children Cry for it ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION A harsh voice warned Rod that he would be better for him to make no cutery. A pair of iron-like hands gripped each of his arms, making resistance futile. He was hustled out of a door. The cool air struck his face with a welcome rush. His captors half carried, half dragged him across the sidewalk and pushed him roughly into an automobile. At once the machine slid into motion, its motor roaring. His captors said no word, nor did they take the cloth off his face. Rod remembered the twenty-six thousand dollars in his pocket with a sinking heart. Belatedly he thought that Kelly had been right about flashing his money. The car swept swiftly over smooth streets for what seemed to Rod to be a long time. At last it came to a stop. He was yanked out of it, hustled up a short flight of stairs, and into a room. HIS MONEY STOLEN HIS MONEY STOLE When the cloth was removed from his face, he picked up the electric light; handed him so he could not see what his captors looked like. He what his captors roughly into a chair and tightly. He felt a hand slip into his pocket and knew that his hiding was being removed. The him of a door apprised him that his instructors had gone. By now his eyes were becoming accustomed to the light, and he saw that he was in a room unfurnished, except for the chair in which he was tied, and a chair behind him. He sat perfectly still for five minutes, then believing his captors really gone, he shouted as loudly as could, but no one answered. Afterward, he strained against the ropes which held him, but he could not budge them. Now that the first shock of his capture was wearing off, he was able to move more slowly, wondered whether members of Wolf's gang had adducted him to hold as a hostage against the gang leader's release, or whether other bandits had kidnapped him merely to rob him. He guessed that now it was well known that he was. According to the message Lyla had given him over the phone, she would be married to Reggie in just twelve hours unless he could get there in time to prepare to escape again, straining at his bonds so hard that they cut into his flesh. KELLY PURUES ROD'S CAPTORS Kelly leaped up from the table. Kelly also arose, trying to decide whether or not in the hands of the world, he was afraid of the world, and he was afraid that someone having seen Rod's large roll of money, might attempt to steal it, and walked up the stairs just in time to men dragging him out of the room. Then instant Kelly was not sure if he was sure that decision was enough to allow the men to get Rod into the car, and speed away before Kelly could reach them. There were no cars in sight, and the street shouting. A passive motorist halted. Kelly leaped into his machine without parley. "Follow that car!" he cried point to the automobile ahead of them. "Why should I?" the motorist inquired suspiciously. "Don't waste time 'arguing' Kelly snapped belligerently or I drive your car and take it home. Join that driver and follow it fast!" Kelly's scarred face and his husky shoulders convinced the driver that discretion was the better part of valor. He threw his car into high. A block ahead of them, he joined him and a corner on two wheels. Block after block they trailed their quarry, until in an unfamiliar part of town it halted. Kelly climbed out hastily, and flinging a bill at the motorist, told him to drive in. In spite of his haste, the men had disappeared into the house before he could reach them. Cautiously he tapped on the steps and lurked by the door of minutes the men entered from the house. Kelly strolled in front of them. "Say, you boozes!" he snarled. "What have you done with my burp?" he healed about? one of the men asked the other with pretense. KELLY SLUGGED Kelly took a threatening step toward him. "Don't try to stall me off, or 'I'll hang one on your chin, brother—" He stumped heavily to the ground the second man swung his black jacket over his shoulders, striking the fighter on the back with his "Shall we leave him here?" the widener of the blackjack inquired.

I'm gonna see if it will help your memory it you don't give me that address pronto!” “Honest chief,” the captured gangster cried. “I don't know where it is just some here from Detroit and I was helping that other fellow out to make good with Wolf's gang. I don't even know the streets here.” His sincerity was evident. The policeman turned away with short. “I don't know where it was,” asked Kelly, desperately. Kelly shook his head mournfully. “If I could I wouldn't have had to come here, I’d a gone back and got him myself.” Outside, delight was breaking. The rumors of the awakening city became steadily louder. Four grim-visaged men strode into the sergeant's office. “Where's the guy that knows about this case?” the leader asked. Swiftly, Kelly told him all he knew. Sounding loudly they drew up the Du'ant residence. By this day, he began the use of Rods. Closed followed by Kelly the detectives, he bounced upstairs, and finding the front slightly ajar, rushed into the bar. A woman screamed at the su-interruption.

"We'll cruise until we locate this joint." We drove a car the detectives drove swiftly up and down, with Kelly peering eagerly at each house that passed. They traversed block after block, weaving up and down the streets in their careful attempt to locate the house where Rod was hiding. Hours passed. Nine, ten clock with Kelly almost trance at the lack of success of their efforts. The detectives were heartily tired of the search, and ready to give it up. They continued to continue it for a little while longer. Just as the leader of the squad announced, that so far as he was concerned they could drive back to trine. "There it is! There it is!" he cried, pointing as a deserted lookout house which they were about to pass. The machine skidded to an abrupt halt. The men poured out of the machine and ran up the steps, with the eager One of them, a husky two-hundred pounder, crashed into the door with his shoulder, splintering it. In an instant the ball fell into the ball they found Red, still tied to his chair, unconscious. A quick examination proved that he was only unconscious. Rapidly they untied him and began chaffing his arm and legs. His first clance showed him Kelly standing over him peering anously into his face. "Good old Kelly," Rod muttered. One of the detectives had brought his hat and jeans and now clawed it into Rod's face. It revived him at once. He got stiffly to his fec. Then his eyes grew wide with sudden apprehension. "What time is it?" he demanded wildly. It selective consulted his watch. It was eleven o'clock. Rod started staggering; for the door, but was so weak he almost fell. "What's your hurry, Kid?" the leader of the snake asked. "You better sit down and get yourself to before you attempt to do much routine." TO STOP LYLAS WEDDING Rod sank back into the water, bent nummed arms and legs in an effort to restore circulation, he told them of the raid night before, and that the house he was living in the Durant home before Lylas was married. The detectives regarded him sympathetically. Most of them had been present at Rod's right the night before. "Well, you sure don't need to worry about that Wolt run no more," one of them told him. "He tried to make a getaway from the Federal men last night, and he rotted there, mean he's dead?" Rod exclaimed. "As a door nail!" he was told. "Tell you what. Kid." the reader said. "What say we in our car and what say we in this wedding, OK?" "And how?" the youth cried fervently. "Thanks fellows!"

The machine officers at a angle, while the officers behaved much like small boys. They tiddled Rod unmercifully about his interference in the girl's rage, and proudly used the results, built up, pushed and urged the driver to speed. **BEGGIES WEDDING HALTED** At length, with the siren still The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, May 24, 1930 sounding loudly they drew up before the Durant residence. By this time Rod had regained the use of his limbs. Closely followed by him, he pushed up the stairs, and finding the front door slightly slam, rushed into the house. A woman screamed at the sudden interruption. Lyla, pale and wan, with Reggie at her side, was facing a minister who held aIBLE in front of him, and who appeared in court ceremony. The girl, at the sight of Rod in his disheveled clothes, the men standing back of him, sprang from Reggie's side and ran to Rod, throving her arms about his neck. Reggie ran after her, indignation on face and motions. One of the detectives balled him with a wave of his big hand. Lyla's father now strode over to where Rod was holding the sobbing girl tightly in his arms. What's the meaning of this outrage, young man?" he demanded angrily. "Pipe down. Alderman." the squad leeder commanded him. The politician looked at him scathingly. "Wolf's dead!" Rod told him signaturelly. "I'm going to marry him now!" "Dead!" For a moment the Alderman's face frowned, conflicting. He begged, then he smiled. "All right, young man. I guess you win." Reggie's father, a pompous, haired man, wearing an enormous ring, waddled over to them. "What he demanded with much dignity." Alderman Durant turned to him. "My girl's not going to marry your boy, after all. Sam," he said quietly. "Your parents, Wall, will be dead and other connection between us is over. And I warn you here and now that I'm on the other side of the fence, and I'm going to make it not for you!" **LYLA'S NEW BRIDEGROOM** The banker sputtered and tuned, but no one paid him any attention. Alderman the banker, who, though patiently dazed by the sudden change in bridegrooms, said nothing, except to quickly speak the words that made Rod and Lyla man and wife. When the ceremony was done, Rod took the girl into his arms, kissed her, tendered her, danced down her face as she held tightly to her new husband. In the meantime, Kelly had been telling the Alderman the occurrences of the night. He herded the detectives of into another room. Grabs and refreshments were waiting for them. III In the west the sinking sun cast a haze of golden mist on the woad highway, over which a long lowwung gray drive grew, driving expertly with one hand. Rod gazed dreamily ahead at the white ribbon of the highway. His other arm held Lyla closely. Were he headed into the road, or was she saving tenderly. "And out, where the sun goes down is home—our home, sweetheart." The girl glanced up at him shyly. "That makes me happier, than you do," she replied. "I seems that I've always loved you, and to be going—home with you, is like When Pain Comes Two hours after eating What many people call indigestion very often means excess acid in the stomach.

The New Broadway Time has wrought many changes in the Northwest section. The corner of Seventh and T Streets was once the center of social activity. The old Howard Theatre, with its supper shows, frequented by the elite of Washington society, professional men and educators, has passed into obscurity during the short life of the vitaphone. Long before a city regulation required that the management install a fireproof curtain, the cost running into the thousands, which they did not care to do, the locality was on the decline. The famous corner where you could once meet almost any celebrity is now only frequented by loafers who hang around the stuffy cookshops all day and disappear into the recesses of gambling houses at night. Here, where once fashionable ladies tripped unaccompanied in perfect safety to view a heavy drama presented by the Lafayette Players. young girls are now insulted by poolroom ruffians and children are robbed of their pennies by bullies. The center of activity has moved several blocks away to U Street, where three ritz theatres and the central ballroom and night club make it the Broadway of the South.

Strange Superstitions About Snakes now Classed as Myths Modern Science now Shattering many long believed Stories about ofttimes Harmless Reptiles By DON CHARLES Correspondent and Writer AFTER YEARS of long-range superstitions, especially among a class of unlearned folk, most of whom live where snakes abound, the United States Biological Survey, has definitely disproved certain persistent myths. The stories told and retold about snakes and reptiles of various kinds have crept into books, and fooled many city people. Government scientists attempted to gather definite proof among the Indians and Negroes of the southern and southwestern states concerning the "stinging and hoop" snakes, of which tales have long been told. Such snakes, many believe, roll themselves into boops and pursue their victims with race horse speed, their tails furnished with thorns. Horn Snake Is Harmless The "stinging snake" myth, apparently originated more than 200 years ago, and was published in an old report: of the lords, proprietors of the Carolinas. John Clayton abstions the myth in a letter to the Royal Society of London in 1688. It was said that there lived in the Carolinas a snake whose tail was a poisoned horn, or stinging snake. Now there IS a horn-snake, but it is perfectly harmless. This is the nearest approach to the mythical snake of early American days. The horn snake is a blush-black color, and has red bars across its belly. The tail of the snake tapers to a fine point, which gives it the appearance of a norn, or spike, but it is quite incapable of piercing or stinging anything. The "glass" or joined snake, is another myth that is frequently mentioned by the old timers. This creature is not a true snake but a legless lizard. The story is that the body of this reptile will disjoint, the pieces wiggling in every direction and coming together again, if the head is not destroyed. Can Drop Tail Scientists say that the explanation of this curious phenomenon lies in the ability of the lizard to drop its tail, an act which sometimes enables it to escape while the still wrigling tail attracts the attention of the pursuer. Many other lizards do the same thing, and a spike, or short, imperfect tail grows in the place of the lost tail. Its reptile is rarely seen, as it lives under decaying vegetation and burrows in the soil. It is sometimes turned up by a plow. It has long been the subject of discussion, and is* quite harmless. It really is not a valuable value because of its food habits. Another snake story that fails to pass the tests of scientific investigation is the theory that a horsehair rope will protect the canter from snakes. Horsehair ropes do not know just who started the story to circulating. Possibly someone who wished to sell horsehair ropes. Public ignorance kept the story going and there was always a manatee whose horsehair ropes to profit thereby. Rope no Bar to Battler The rattlesnake, among all the reptiles, is supposed to be unable to cross a horsehair rope. Just why its "tummy," which is impervious thereto, should be so hard to soar and rocks to soar temperatures that repel the human hand, should be so responsive to the unknown magic of horsehair, doesn't seem to be quite clear. The snake investigator camped one night in a region where the reptiles abounded. The horsehair rope was carefully placed around the camp. But a little distance side-by-side of the camp, the snake matrials made of the arid regions, proceeded to shatter the ancient myth. It entered the camp as if it had been invited—and right over the barrier of the arid regions, but no attention to it than a migrating waterfowl does to an ariated Girl the man was many years his age, would feed each other, so what else mattered? Up from the South came John's brother, Joe. He was ambitious and anxious for the last two years insisted that he stay in the home. There was no prover man than John when his kid brother graduated as a dentist. Six months after Joe had gone West to establish a practice, John's wife went away on a visit. It wasn't until the next day that Joe that he realized that he had been blind in his own home for two years. She never came back. How She Handled It One woman was not so dumb and handled an almost similar situation in quite a sensible way. She did much for her husband, and she had husbands go. She also did a great deal for a girl, the daughter of a friend, whom she had reared to young womanhood. One morning at breakfast, the three completed their meal usual and were about to leave the table with her, we begged them to tarry a moment. "I just wanted to tell you," she said calmly, "that this is the last meal we three will eat. This is the house today and Mary is going with you. "I have been suspicious of what was going on for sometime, but I needed proof. I could have you both last night, though I thought it would be a better plan. Mary, don't forget how I took you in when your own turned you down, and, Bill, don't forget how I nursed you back to health. I prepared this breakfast so you could not help you left this room. Now go!" And as they left, she cleared off the table and then finished her dishes. ```markdown ``` Snakes have their beauties. 'This is a ribbon snake, basking in the sun, with a beautiful curve.

Another snake story frequently told says that a coiled rattlesnake can be killed with a pistol without the weapon taking anything but a general aim. The theory is that the snake will automatically and consciously put its head in the line of fire. But many tests have proved that it takes an expert marksmans to hit a rattler's head, or any snake's head, for that matter. The hunter must be able to shoot and accurately at a snake.

It enables me to work at a safe distance, gives the reptile no possible opportunity for mischief, and is the surest way to bring it to bed. I have also learned that there is no better receptacle for carrying live snakes than an ordinary trout fisherman's creel. "Now you can imagine what happens when people see me working the nearest water—and casting about among the sage-brush and cactus with that kind of an outfit. Many take one look and say to themselves: There's an enthusiastic trout fisherman, the nearest water—and casting about. Look at him. The poor fellow thinks this desert is a trout pool." Mr. Rowe relates that he once had two deputies out after him. They thought that he had escaped from an asylum nearby, and that he was fishing in a desert, you may be fairly certain that the game is not food but reptiles. The odd fisherman with his reel is likely to be investigating some supernatural discoveries, not just discovering that another story is nause—another story. ASHIONS T DILSEY A.

Mr. Patterson spoke of the victories as having been "decisive," clean cut, that coopers could "clean up" that was the Harlem schools, Douglass and Cooper, which dominated the meet, taking every relay four of five sprints and one of five laps, and the many events where records fell, all field marks holding before the challenge of yesterday's entry.

ATHLETIC LEADERS CONFER AT HOWARD Physical Education Association Research Finds Prepared Teachers Scare STUDENTS ATTEND Increasing Interest in Girls Basketball Shown WASHINGTON. — The National Physical Education Association was in session on Friday and Saturday at Howard University. Among the speakers who endorsed a program of physical education that will tend to mold a strong moral influence on students and train men and women to use their leisure time wisely, were G. D. Houston, principal of Armstrong High School, and Miss Joanna Houston, assistant dean of women of Howard University. Joseph Rainey and Benjamin Washington also advocated ways and means of raising our athletics to a higher plane, while Harry Jefferson and Robert A. and T. College, stressed the need of having intelligent, well trained, and respected gentlemen in charge of our athletics, instead of men who do win games to hold their positions. Davis Speaks "Health and physical education go hand in hand, and to have health we need a strong physical education program, well administered and made available to all students, plus a check upon all students who engage in our active program of athletics," said C. W. Davis, acting head of physical education at Howard University. Ms. Rebecca Allen, also of Howard, stressed the need of hygiene clubs that have as their purpose the application of health habits in daily life. Miss Rebecca Butcher, of Bordenton, who gave her findings in her research of "Conditions of Physical Education in Negro Schools and Colleges," pointed out that many of our students have more space and facilities of physical education and that there is a need for higher salaries and less work for most of our teachers, in physical education. Better equipment, more space, and better facilities of health examinations, needed to improve the value of health and physical education work. Study Girls' Basketball The Women's division went on record sanctioning the platform of A.A. and requested that it secure better officiating in this popular sport for women. They also advocated interterm athletics for women and women. Another movement started, was the Student Division made up of professional students in physical education and women.

New England Boxer Trims Italian Foe Jimmy (Kid) Rogers of Cambridge Wins 6-回合 Primo Ibelao (Carroll News Service) BOSTON — Weaving and bobbing and displaying a hard right, won the Mechanics building, Monday night, for Jimmy (Kid) Rogers, of Cambridge, in his battle with Primo Ubello of Italy, in one of the fastest middleweight bouts ever witnessed in the city. The Italian opened with a right to the jaw and was on the receiving end of a hard right. He had to land and was content to land a few punches to body, while Rogers continued to use a round with a hard right to the head, the Italian had the boy from Cambridge a little groggy. Rogers held on for the remainder of the round, but the fight was being a different style fighter and boxer. The fourth and fifth were repetitions of the third, being on hard right and hard right to the head and face: Rogers, according to boxing critics, will under the proper management, be the next king of the ring. He is rated as one of the best in his class in New England.

(Special to the ANP)—An interesting if a somewhat tragic picture of how gradually but surely black riders have been forced off the racing tracks of the country, is told in a recent issue of the New York Herald Tribune by W. J. Macbeth. The desire for money and the jealousy aroused when Negroes received the epul膊 and hero worship of the sporting throngs has led to a steady and systematic elimination of the colored boy from the army as officers are being made to freeze them out of all sorts of preferred employment, the writer points out while he observes: Jockey: Disappearing "Negro race riders in America are fast disappearing. Slowly, but surely, they are dropping from the hazardous steepleads and disappearing from the flat. Last season there were not half a dozen Negro jockeys and not many more cross-country riders. "Fashions change in racing as elsewhere, and not have had something to do with the disappearance of the race from the trunks of riders and trainers. There is still the usual Negro representation. But it is more likely that class distinction has had more to do with it. Within the last ten years there have come into the thoroughbred racing game some of the country's very best riders, special spheres and with them new and revolutionary ideas. Also, it is more than probable that white trainers and riders have been playing the Negro contempiaries. Started in South "The cradle of thoroughbred racing in America was laid in the South in its flourishing days before the Civil War and when its chivalry regarded professionalism as a result, jockeys were recruited from among the slaves. Even in the North the Negro riders predominated. But with the emancipation of the race, Negro jockeys were freed from their own resources against white competition with the inevitable result that now confronts them. Many Great Riders "From the early sixties to the middle nineties, the American turf had a horse of good Negro riders and a horse of good white riders, Isaac Murray, Johnny Stowal, Tony Hamilton, Pike Barnes, Lince Jones, Willie Simms, Tiny Williams, Monk Williams, Tiny Williams, Felix Carr, and the great Chevler, And in their heyday these lads had far siffer opposition than the whites of today would be able to furnish, and in their heyday those days than now. It was the era of Jimmy McLaughlin, rated by many oldtimers as the very best of them all; old Scot, who was a white sheep; Mr. Grapson, Moose Taylor, Willie Hayward, Andy McCarthy, and Willie Fitzpatrick. Murphy, World's Greatest "Father Bid Daly, the long-shot king of thirty yeras ago, and dean of American trainers, who can go as far back as perhaps any one in this country interested in thoroughbred racing Isaac Kidder, greatest rider ever piloted a thoroughbred. Father Bill should know a jockey and all that constitutes horsemanship. He developed more good jockeys in his time than any other American trainer. He was the finest judge of pace of all the super stars. He was the only jockey in the long history of the Kentucky Derby, which dates back fifty-five years, to ride three winners of the classic—Buchanan in 1884, Riley in 1890, and Kingman in 1891 until Sande's performance last Saturday. Four times he had the leg on winners of the American Derby at Washington Park, Chicago—Modesty, 1884; Volante, 1885; Silver Cord, 1886, and Emperor of Norfolk, 1886. He won the Saratoga Cup in 1881 with Checkmate and aagin in 1886 with He took the crown in 1882 with Derby, with Norfolk in 1886. His Derby victories of those days were real accomplishments, especially his sensational sweep of the American, which at that time usurped the position now resigned to the Kentucky Derby. Willie Simms Among the notable victories of Willie Simms was a double in the Brooklyn Derby. This finished second, and was by the middle-aged of the present day regulars, was on Dobbins, winner of 1894, and Octagon in victory with the New Yorker. Simms won the Kentucky Derby. His superb finish finished John E. Madden's Plaudit winner by a nose in 1896, duplicating a win by Ben Brush, who got home by a whisker with Ben Brush, simms, on Richard Crocker's Brushes, figured in the memorable dead end win, which was ridden by Fred Taral. Hamilton. Wonder Rider Pike Barnes, another great Nerp rider, inscribed his name in the Hall of Fame by riding the first Futurity winner, a classic who was most esteemed of the world's most cherished of all juvenile stakes. This triumph dates back to 1888. Barnes won with Procter Knott, beating him in the most important race (Tony) Hamilton. Barnes won the Brooklyn handicap of 1890 with Burlington and a year later repeated with Tenny. Few of our current riders can compete in the fine record as Tony Hamilton in the matter of stake achievements. He won the American Derby of 1887 with C. H. Todd. He had the leg on the road to 1889. Six years later he won the same classic aboard Hornpipe. Hamilton won the Hudson Stakes of 1889 with Ballantrae and the 1890 Tidal Stakes of 1889 on Pontcherie, winner of the 1891 Tidal Stakes. He took a Suburban Handicap in 1895 with Lazarone and a Metropolitan Handicap at Morris Park a year later with Counter Tiny Williams Tiny Williams was best known for his ability with two-year-olds. None of his day could match this fine post rider in a sprint. He was successful after success with horses trained by Byron McClelland. Emmanuel Morris rode the Lucky Baldwin string in the time of Gauldino and Rel el Sana Amita. Peter was a skillful handling of the great Imp. But one of the greatest riding feats ever attained rewarded the skill of Jimmy Lee. This Negro rider swept the card of six races at Churchill Downs on the afternoon of June 5.

DETROTT, Mich. — (ANP.) — Although Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion, was said to have been active in the recent championship encounter with Young Jack Thompson, it is reported that a trick which Johnson taught Thompson was one of the big factors contributing to the success of the fight. It is claimed that Fields has a dangerous hand, but that Johnson told Thompson to work in close at every opportunity and pound on him. Thompson did as instructed, and as the fight progressed, Fields's arm became more and more useless until near the close of the fight he could not stop. He rounds most of the force of his right-hand punch was gone. Sparring Mate Floors White Boxer, Fired LOS ANGELES, Cal. (ANP).

GOOSBY THRILLS CROWD Coast Welterweight Wins from Billy Washington. George Godfrey, star heavyweight performer from Lelippeville, Pa., demonstrated his prowess before more than 200 fans at Maryland Park Friday night, by rocking Jack Rozier of Houston Texas, to sleep in exactly 46 seconds of the invasion. "A powerful short apperit to Rozier's chin, as he fight started, sent the big Texan to his knees for the count of five, and in a second or two Rozier fell a gain, evidently from a second blow, and was in a few seconds later he clung by his hands to Godfrey's waist like a penitent child, his seconds tossed the towel into the ring, Godfrey was credited. --- Rozier landed only one blow, a slight tap to big George's body as the bout opened. Goffrey eyed the result of his handwork proudly, leaped thru the ropes and was off to his dressing room. Fifteen men entered the hotel, while Rozier with his seconds and doctors administering stimulants was just opening his eyes as he lay prostrate on the bench in his dressing quarters. He was 250 pounds, while Rozier, who towered over him by some four or five inches, tipped the beams as 223 pounds, and dashed a sudden termination of the scheduled 10-round melee that they were temporarily speechless. Semi-final Thrills But while they only received a minimum of action in the feature bout, the semi-windup, between Frank Goosby, stabble of stable Bob Jae Gun, and Billy Washington, them with eight chucklers of sizzling action. Goosby, who weighed 148 pounds, was awarded the decision, points piled up in the early rounds overbalancing the stirring fast rolls of Washington, in at 146 pounds. Goosby, who was taller and had a longer reach than Washington, danced around the ring, exhibiting skillful generosity, with face almost continuously. On several occasions, Washington leaped into the air to lend force to his punches, but in nine of ten instances, Goosby dug gracefully, his footwork saving him eminent, in a possible key on several occasions. Washington Ballies Late in the seventh, eighth and ninth rounds, Washington opened a two-tisted attack that drew the claret from the lanky California boy's noose, the boy's armored helmet, he ruined down a shower of blows that had Goosby rocky. Both boxers slugged hard in the eighth round, but the opponent with the vengeance of a wild man, plastered rights and lefts to Goosby's head and face with such precision that many fans thought he was playing a draw. But it was Goosby, whose hand was held aloft after the final bell, and the Pacific coast, youngster and "wannabe" of the opening preliminary. Tayney Scott, local battier, and Dusty Miller fought six rounds in the opening preliminary with the weighting, weighting 170 pounds, pummed Tom Siki, a green youngster so mercilessly that he gained a techni- University Tailors SUITE Made To Order $22.50 STYLES TO SELECT FROM Clearing, Processing - Altering Cleaning - Pressing - Altering WE AIM TO PLEASE! cal knockout in the second round.

Phantoms Win and Lose in Two Contests Dashy Nine Bows to Pullman Team, 12-5, But Swamps Heights Team, 9-1 DARBY, Pa—The Darby Phantoms were taken over by the fast stepping Pullman team at Hildale Park by the final score of 12-5, Fri- The eastern district champions with Burns on the mound seemed well fortified to break the Phantoms. Burns allowed his opponents six scattered hits and with splendid support managed to coast along to an easy beat. Burns started the Phantoms, was slurred and was forced to relinquish his duties to Budd Mitchell who finished the game. On Tuesday, the Phantoms managed to owe their success to the Darby Heights in a slurred at Hildale Park by the score of 9-1. Huggar, a former member of the Southern Association, was the first defeat that he has suffered from the bats of the Phantoms in seven games played over a period of two years in which he skipped the slurred. In the fourth frame Brice walked into one of Huggar's slanters and carried it away for a three bagger, followed by Whealey with a hurl, and Bill Jones with another three-hagger. A. and T.

Eagles Top Shaw in 11-Inning Game DUHAM, N. C.-The North Carolina Eagles fought a clean up-hill game here Friday to take the Shaw University team down, the team winning 10 in 10 attempts. Hubbard started the game for the Eagles, but was taken out in the fourth when Vinson relieved him and held the Shaw artillery in check until his team could amass sufficient runs to win.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, May 24, 1930 HearMeTalkin'toYa letter, purporting to be written by Jimmy Dougherty, manager of George Godfrey, appeared in the Philadelphia Daily News, last week, the Baron of Leperville leaving no stone unturned in his effort to make it clearly understood that Big George is going to make it a bad evening for Primo Carrera, if the two meet in Philadelphia, June 23. the battle. I say if, because the action of the National Boxing Commission in suspending Carrera, last week, may put a damper on the Battle of the Gollaths, for which top price tickets will bring a price of $12.50, including the tax, according to latest advices from the city of Brotherly Love. This writer talked with Big George here last week, and asked the 250-pound heavy what he thought of the fuss. "Man, George said, 'there was nobody more surprised than I was when the bout was landed. I've just been titching for a crawl at that Carrera guy, and I'm telling you that I'm going to fight when we meet. Certainly, I believe I'm going to finish him.'" Monica is even more enthusiastic. In his letter to the Editor of the News Dougherty is asking as saying: I could of made a fortune with Godfrey just losing fights and you know it. I could of had a fight with Max Schmellinger if Godfrey wouldn't win and that ain't the only one. But I wouldn't do it so all I could get for George was a lot of ham fights that ain't been paying his expenses these last couple years. Then if he didn't knock out every bum he fought right away all I got was trouble and fines and such things like that. I chased this Carnarea all the way out to the coast and almos ha him cornered there when he got into trouble and they hit him out. Weil I guess that was a good thing for me because everybody got tired of him running around fighting these hums and he couldn't get nothing to do except maybe go to work so I guess that, helped me get him for George. Well let me tell you something. Its going to be a bad evening for somebody. I had a fighter once what gave me the doublecros and took a dive. I never was sure but I felt sure he did. I n't telling who he was because that was a long time back and it wont do no good to talk about it but I chased him out of the dressing room that night with a chase that no pants on and I run him five blocks to a cop caught me and I never managed him after that and he left town and stayed Now let me tell you something. If George don't take both arms into the ring with him that night and aint in ernest, Mr. Smartbird, then George and me is through. I may be pretty old even if I aint as old as you make out but you can bet George is going to take both arms in the ring with him that night and a creet as you putend. you think as usual. And if you don't quite understand what the veteran fight manager has said, this pillar explains by saying that Dr. Godfrey is planning to reduce Carrera to his own size, which by the way, is a little more than small, in its own right. WHILE speaking of Godfrey this department takes time out right here to comment on Big George's one-minute session with Jack Rozler, here last week. The quick kayo of the Texas giant was anticipated by some of the fans, but the majority of the customers who paid their money to see, what they expected would be at least four or five rounds of punching, were taken by surprise, particularly the three-dollar customers. In Rozer's dressing room, immediately after the fight, doctors and attendants worked on him many minutes before he was revived. That one blow from Godfrey's mitt did the trick. Joseph Kelly, secretary of the Maryland Boxing Commission and Mr. Cogswell, a commissioner, were in the dressing room and were satisfied that everything was OK. talking with Mr. Kelly later, that official said: "We are convinced that the fight was on the level. There was nothing faked about it. That's the case with most heavyweight fights — they either end in a flash or are slow and long drawn out. Godfrey, as you well know, is a powerful slugger and a blow from his fist, if it catches you in the right place on the law, simply means slumberland." you Had Goddrey "carried" Rozier for a round or two, a thing which was in fistic circles, and then knocked him out, many of the fans would have liked it better for they would have had an opportunity to see Big George in action. George, however, had different notions and he ended the bout in a hurry, which after all was the sensible thing to do. Rozier deserves a small bouquet, however, for even stepping in the ring with the Leiperville "big truck." Neither Dempsey nor Tunney would risk it. UBILATION reigns at Morgan College as the Morgan Bears return home with more track and field triumphs, George, the Spaulding, and Russell, of the house of Sterling, bouring their heads to receive more of the laurel and the in all respect to other members of the squad the Morgan team might well. If you know Morgan College as I do, you know that the track be dubbed a "two-man" unit. facilities at the Methodist school are almost zero. It takes plenty of "guts" even to go out for the team, and as the boys say, "You must be pure in heart." Coach Hurt has worked hard at Morgan, and while the shoring of the Bears has much of its origin in exceptional mental ability, the work of the Morgan mentor, nevertheless serves in for a share of the praise. Many coaches, faced with the track problem at Morgan, from both financial and physical standpoints, would have thrown up the sponge. I know of a school that had more money than Morgan, in good, yet cut out, track. But not so, Morgan; they carried on. hand, "you're Charlie Drew, who not long from now will write "M.D." after his moniker, probably laid the first real track and field foundation at Morgan. Bill Taylor added to it, and the finishing touch is added in by Coach Burk. 1909 Say what you will against athletics, but the truth cannot be denied that they added to the lustre and prestige of an institution. Name an institution that amounts to more than a tinker's dam where some form of athletic competition is not sponsored. The name of Morgan has spread because of basketball, football and dramatics, and now comes these stalwart tracksters to provide the Methodists with advertising that agate lines cannot hope to give. Our Sarnoff-Irving is already tilted. SOME years ago, when conditions were somewhat different from what they are today, the suggestion that a state-wide track and field meet for four schoolbuses be held, was immediately pooh-poohed. Very curious were the reasons offered for opposing such a thing. Today this writer renews the suggestion, and makes a few things in addition. The coming Western Sho' meet at Bowle, Saturday and the Eastern Sho' meet held at Salisbury last month have served their usefulness, as the calibre of competition that has been developed (under handicap) now warrants something better. Arguments for a state-wide meet will be presented in full when time and space permit. "A state-wide meet for 1931" should be the slogan adopted by the various counties of the state. Coming close home, this department wants to point out a condition that might be remedied in handling the local meets. Under the present system, district meets for elementary schools, and a junior high meet are held in which athletes must qualify for the city-wide meet. Douglas High School and the Vocational School do not have to qualify for this meet, entering three athletes in the events that they desire. Under the system we find elementary schoolboys competing against the older Douglas and Vocational boys, and while the handicap does not affect the junior high schoolers seriously, it is nevertheless unfair to the school. To win a medal, it is necessary for an elementary position to defeat Douglas and Vocational runners and jumpers. This is not as it should be. There is need of an elementary school meet, separate from all others, so that these youngsters will have an opportunity to shine in their own right. Douglas and Vocational might hold a dual meet and then, if necessary, an all-for-glorify city-wide meet, in which athletes from all schools might enter, could be held. As it is now, equality of opportunity positive for the state-wide meet, more will be written from time to time. This is just a gentle reminder that something needs to be done. Our Sarnoff-Irving is already tilted. SOME years ago, when conditions were what they are today, the suggest and field meet for Negro schoolboo-poo-poohed, and various were the thing such a thing.

The first game started off with the Royals scoring two markers in the first inning, but their lead proved to be the only runs that they scored. For in the fifth the Sox started four runs. Mule battles clouted out a home run in this inning. Flourncy faced Starks on this mound in this contest, each hurler yielding eight hits. The second game found Bob McClure, former Sox hunter, to be one of the four to be a pitchers' duel. McClure allowed three hits and Lee four. McClure, white at times, proved effective in the pinches. The Sox scored their lone run without a hit, and the Sox scored their second run, lining, fanned much to the surprises of the fans—and himself McClure, this task done, then proceeded to walk Lundy, Washington and Clarke in a row. A sacrifice fly by Lee brought in the deciding call, the Sox scoring all three, the Canden All-Stars, white, a doubleheader Sunday, starting at 2 p.m. (D.S.T. Playing this team last week, with Hays pitching in masterful style, the Sox held in the holding having held the white club scoreless until the ninth inning. He allowed only five scattered hits. LINGOLNS TOP CUBAN AND HILLDALE NINES LINGOLNS TOP CUBAN AND HILLDALE NINES New York Team Takes Advantage of New York Islanders, 11-8 Islanders Succumb, 11-8 PHILADELPHIA — The Lincoln Giants, who this year are making this city their home grounds, continued their play by making key defenses Hildale, +4 and the Cuban Stars by an 11 to 8 score.

Use a Little Garlic It is pretty well acknowledged, although it used to be considered very daring, that, to touch up a salad with a bit of garlic makes it much more artistic and epicurean, and some people have discovered also that a suspicion of garlic in the dressing or in the bowl will remove any earthly flavor that the salad greens may have. A suspicion of garlic in a salad in the ways we have mentioned will not be recognized as garlic by a good many people who would think they hated this flavor, but really find the salad more gratifying than they would have guessed. This is true not only of salads but also of some sauces and of some other uses which a salad of garlic and some surface is rubbed with it.

The first was the census of church attendance of the church asked to cooperate and no canvass was made for either colored churches or Catholic churches. The private prohibition poll it was announced of was amended to accord to Hoover "That he might be assured of the support of the Protestant clergy in his efforts to maintain the Eighteenth Amendment."

CHICAGO. — Following charges published in the Young Allenite, that Bishop A. J. Carey had diverted funds from the departments of education, missions, Christian Endeavor and Sunday School Union to other uses to the amount of $30,000, the report of a committee asking that he be silenced, unfrocked or removed from the Fourth Episcopal District, was adopted at a mass meeting here Sunday. The committee, which bears the name "Common Sense Committee" is head- by Mrs. Nanna Jackson as chairman. Mrs. Eva Kindred is vice chairman; Mrs. Belle Bertel and jersey officer; Jennie Lewis, treasurer. In the resolution the committee declares that the "act of taking money under such heart - searching ed by Mrs. Jennika. Jackson as chief- ician. Mrs. Bva Kindred is vice chairman; Mrs. Belle Lane-Kelley, secretary and Mrs. Jennie Lewis, treasurer. In the resolution the committee declares that the use of taking up money under such heart - searching appeals, and using it for another purpose, is, in our judgment, extracting money from the people under false pretense." The resolution calls attention to the allegation that Bishop Carey, although accused openly of having misused, misappropriated or stolen such funds, has not denied the charges, nor bought libel suit against his accusers. Advises to Withhold Funds The resolution also recommends that members of the district withhold all monies, including dollar money, until the bishop has been put out. Those signing the resolution include Henry S. Golins. Mr. Golins is a member of W. Alfred Lena MLCemore, Greene W. Whitney, Kathryn M. Johnson, Mrs. Robert Moore, Mattie Love, and Mamie E Brown. Mr. Carey, who presides over the Chicago area, is also a member of Chicago's Civil Service Commission.
