ANTI-LYNCHING MEASURE AGAIN IN CONGRESS
Representative Stone Should Create Mob Law Commission. TO REPORT JAN. 1
Washington Bureau of the AFRO
WASHINGTON. — A joint resolution has been introduced in the House of Representatives to create a Mob Law Commission to investigate and study the lynching of citizens by mobs or otherwise, in order that a proper law may be enacted.
The measure provides that the commission shall report its findings and recommendations to Congress on or before January 1, 1991. It was introduced by Representative U. S. Stone (step. 1), of Oklahoma.
The resolution has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary, and is waiting to be reported to that body.
Mr. Stone Speaks
an interviewed and questioned the resolution by an AFRO Mr. Stone, the sponsor of the resolution. Mr. Stone introduced the resolution. I with the view of suggesting resolution that would meet the approval of the administration. If this did not come, the administration, for its measure, can kill it. There is a difference between a resolution and a resolution. A proposal of the nature of the Dyer Anti-lynch bill, unless it is considered by the administration, will hardly pass Congress. "If the commission, as proposed by the resolution is appointed, then the president will consider the administration, will hardly pass Congress. Any report they will have the support of the administration behind it." Representative Stone is a Republican from a city that is non-racial. In his hometown of Norman, Mr. Stone feels that, although it is a Democratic stronghold, the rent of the people would enable his actions if called upon to
"With due respect to the Democrat," Mr. Stone said. "Lynching is a noisy issue. In many instances of color, matter. It is normally of common sense and justice.
The mind of a mob is like that of a crazy man. Intelligent people are not like the mob, who into the air in every case I have law-abiding citizens are opened to it in every way possible.
Residuating himself personally, Mr. Stone said.
"I ran for governorship of Alabama. The colored papers of the slave state man that ever came into a campaign against lynching in Alabama gave me credit for being the same statement in white and colored papers that I was opposed to the evil.
In 1922, I ran for the Senate, and also included the anti-lynching continued on Page Eighteen

DR. MOTONMAKES SECOND SURVEY OF HAITI NOW
1923 Survey Recommended Use of Colored Teachers There. THREE FACTORS
Race, Religion and Language Involved.
PORT-au-PRINCE, Haiti. For at least two members of the Haitian Commission foreign investigations at the request of the President of the United States is no new thing. Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee and chairman of the commission now in Haiti, was the choice of the late President Wilson during the war to visit colored troops in France and report to the President upon their morale and treatment.
Other Surveys
In 1923, he was commissioned by Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes to make a survey of educational conditions in Haiti, and sent out Dr. W. T. B. Williams, dean of Tuskegee Institute, whose students were shorted up in Haitian schools if brought up to date, would give an approximation of the kind of service the present commission is expected to perform.
Last year Dr. Moton, cooperating this time with Principal J. E. Gregg of Hampton Institute, commissioned Dean William H. Hammond to conduct an educational survey of the Virgin Islands for the U.S. Navy Department.
The Williams survey reported the overwhelming predominance of the Catholic church in both religion and education, declaring that the "priests are almost entirely Frenchmen and Belgians, and of the several hundred in the country there are not a half-dozen Haliats, according to local reports, and more than the half-dozen Belgians and clerics of the country are conducted by French and Belgian fathers and sisters."
Dean Williams recommended the encouragement of the denominational schools but "the centering of educational efforts upon schools supported by public funds."
U. S. Colored Teachers
Among other things he recommended the employment of a limited number of colored American teachers in the rural sections of Haiti, and suggested that Haïtian teachers should also be sent to schools in the United States including Tuskegee, Harvard, Columba. Finally it was suggested that the Haïtian rural schools could profit by the supervisory methods now in vogue in the United States. Jeanes Fund, the Rosenwald Fund and the Education Board.
Conditions Better
Since the Williams report seven years ago, conditions in Haitian schools have improved. Today over a hundred schools have the schools (one-worth of the available school population) and the U.S. Government through an understanding with the Haitian Government has established a school manual that operates a normal school and 48 rural schools instructing in all phases of farming and home-making, including the chemistry of soils, marketing and manual practice, the garden practice, care of animals and growing crops. No Haitians to Hampton. However, no Haitians have been sent to colored schools in the United among the thirty states sent over to the United States to carry on work.
Factors Involved
Any solution of Haiti's educational problems, some experts believe, rests upon a number of factors including the following:
Haitian confidence that the American people are behind President Hoover when he said last February that the United States has no mandate to continue its marines and officials in Haiti when the treaty expires in 1986. Many of the country's uncle Sam will force a second extension of the treaty and the occupation.

NO PARTY CAN KING HIMSELF IS BAR NEGROES, ACCUSED IN COURT RULES SLAVE PROBE
By CARL MURPHY
PORT au PRINCE, Haiti.—A typical Haitian welcome greeted the Haitian Commission when they landed in Port-au-Prince Sunday morning.
Every diplomatic honor was accorded with President Roy, his cabin, officials of the American Legation and the foreign ministry, joining in the welcome to the American group as president and enormous crowds gathered at the wharf where the Ancon nut in

Appeals Court Decides Against Democrats in Virginia.
ASHEVILLE, N. C.—What may become one of the most sweeping court decisions rendered for some time, was handed down Friday when the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Democratic party in Virginia could not bar Negroes from participating in primary elections. The decision of the appeals court affirms decision by Judge D. Lawrence Groner of the Federal District Court, at Richmond in the case of James B. C. Billie, William B. James and William Richer, the three defendants being Democratic judges in the precinct in Richmond in which Mr. West lives.
These judges dented to Mr. West the right to participate in the Democratic primary of April 3, 1928, refusing on the basis of the ruling by the Democratic party limiting participation in its primary elections to
Sweeping Victory
The action of the Appeals Court, which is expected to be confirmed by the Supreme Court, should it be taken to that body, is sweeping in its possibilities.
The body of the opinion, written by Judge Elliott Northcourt, of West Virginia, was concurred in by District Judges W. E. Baker, also of West Virginia, and William C. Coleman, of Birmingham. The opinion is in part as follows: "If all the political parties in the State of Virginia incorporated the same qualifications in their rules and regulations as did Democratic parties, could parity be achieved, the primary except white persons and other persons would be deprived of a material right guaranteed them under the Constitution as amended; that the right would be the selection of candidates to be voted for in the election."
Far Reaching
Already the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which financed both the Virginia and North Carolina colleges to follow up this victory and ask Congress to look into disfranchisement in all states where the ballot is denied the Negroes. N.A.A.C.P. attorneys in the case of W. billey are Alfred E. Cohen, white, and Joseph P. R. Pollard of Richmond Va., and Artie C. Cohen, white, and both white of New York of the N.A.A.C.P.

While the commission is expected to finish its work in five weeks, there is no time limit, according to officials in the State Department in Washington.
Serving with Dr. Moton on the commission which is to make a survey of the educational needs of Haiti Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University; B. F. Hubert, president of Georgia State College; William Wilkerson, the college department at Tuskegee.
Leo M. Favrot, white, a member of the staff of the General Education Board, was unable to sail with the commission and was sent over to Queen Dr. Wilkerson, secretary of the commission, Alphonse Heningberg is interpreter, and W. A. Shields stenographer.

Faulkner Tells Commission Liberian President Reaped Profits. (By Mall, Exclusive to the AFRO) LIBERIA, W. A.—Testimony presented to the International Commission of inquiry into conditions of alleged slavery in Liberia, reveals President C. D. B. King, himself, among those charged with maltreatment of the natives
This startling revelation came as a result of complaints filed with the commission by Thomas J. R. Faukner, to which a large number of witnesses, natives and foreigners have attested, have attested that King, according to Ma Faukner, are "militar treatment of soldiers; taking their indebtedness certificates from them, and paying them twenty per cent of their face value," and "ordering chiefs on trip to Royceville, to 150 carriers each of their failing to give them being fined and some dismissed from office."
Maltreatment Is Rife
In a letter to the commission, Mr. Faulkner says: "Maltreatment is rife throughout the country where Liberian officials bear rule. This is in the context of exploitation in the institution by the Browder Force Soldiers, messengers, and District Commissioners.
Wives Taken
"This maltreatment takes such forms as exacting petty fines without cause; forcibly taking the wives of natives as well as chiefs, in spite of complaints, and the whipping in a most shameful manner of the men and women who refuse to act as caretakers. L. Morris, Secretary of Public Works, is charged by Mr. Faulkner with severe cruelty by flogging men working on the road and killing some through these floggings. All District Commissioners, be reported are guilty of the oil and oil pollution purposes, cases being cited of natives being forced to work on rice farms without pay.
Use Natives on Private Farms
It is further charged that the District Commissioners have opened private labor, refusing to provide labor, refusing to provide food or pay, and that by order of Presi-

Commission Regrets Absence of Favrot
Bv. CARL. MURPHY
PORT au Prince, Haiti—Speaking for the commission this week, Dr. R. R. Moton, chairman, said he regratted very much the question of the commission. Favot, at the last moment, prevented him from making the journey to Haiti. Mr. Favot, who is the field secretary of the General Education department, only mentioned the commission. A fall from an upper berth of a steamer stateroom gave Mr. Favot a fractured ankle, the hospital insisted upon him being chained to the ship, but he eventually gave in upon advice of two physicians consulted independently. If his condition warrants, there is still hope he may join the commission in Haiti.

White Kentucky Girl Impressed by Negro Diplomat
LONDON, England. — When a number of American society women, one of them a young debaucheur, were presented at the Court of St. James recently, so impressed was this young woman that she broke iron-forged British society in writing about it.
One of the surprises of this white Kentucky belle was the skinned Abyssinian diplomats.
In her description of the dress the men wear, she singled out the women, whom she declared was arrayed in gorgeous gold embroidered jacket and trousers, she declared, surmounted this with a voluminous black cap worked all over with dazzling gold.
The entire prosecution was precluded, and Indians in scarlet coats and black and gold striped turbans.

Jones, Jr., president of the Birmingham City Commission issued the announcement that Congressman DePriest will not be permitted to speak in the city auditorium as announced earlier in the week. Congressman DePriest has been invited to the guest of honor of the conclave which is expected to draw some thirty thousand people here. Realizing that there is no other place sufficiently large to accommodate all wanted to see and hear the only Negro in Congress, the committee on arrangements secured the city auditorium, and the announcement was sent out accord-

Last Minute Pardons Save 3 Men from Chain
EDDYVILLE, Ky. — Three men, Lloyd Williams, K. John Keller, J. and James Grisby, B. 38, were saved from the electric chair, but minors were granted, granted by Governor Sampson, here, Friday. The indefinite reprieve were announced just as the electric motor had ceased the deadly whirl that had sent Richard Edmonds, 36, and E. R. Ratchie, 26, to death with witnesses and newspapermen were assembled at the Western State Penitentiary. It is thought that Edmonds's statement, taking the blame for Harry S. Rutter's night flight, was responsible for the reprieve granted Keller and Grisby also involved in the charges of murdering the watchman. Williams had been convicted in the robbery and slaying of R. R. Porter, nation manager. There was however, some doubt as to his proper identity.

POMONKEY, Md.—Branding the separate school systems as "the root of all evil" and which retards the progress in most southern cities, Morris Lewis, secretary to Congressman Oscar DePriest, urged their abolition in an address at Town Hall, here, Friday night.
Speaking on the subject, "Our American Citizenship and the Right to Education," Our Institution Offer" Mr. Lewis declared that the separate school system is an institution which does not operate for the best interest of any group.
Must Explain to Children
"There is always the necessity to explain to the American child why, at certain ages, they must sever the generally friendly relations which have existed in child life," he declared.

ARREST THREE IN BAPTIST GANG KILLING
Dr. A. M. Townsend,
Rev. B. J. F. Westbrook, Accused.
HIRED ASSASSIN
Geo. Washington, Gunman, Confesses.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The plot thickened Friday in what promises to be the most sensational scandal which ever rocked the Baptist denomination, when detectives working in several cities, caused the arrest last week of Dr. A. M. Townsend, secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board; the Rev. B. J. F. Westbrook, pastor of the leading Baptist church in Indianapolis, and George Washington, noted gunman, implicating them in the "gang" killing of E. D. Pierson, auditor of the National Baptist Convention.
Dr. Townsend, who for twenty years has held a high place in the councils of the Baptist denomination, and who has generally been regarded as its "best business brains," was arrested late Thursday night at his Nashville home.
Simultaneously the Rev. B. J. P. Bestbrook, pastor of the Second Baptist Episcopalianapolis, was arrested in that city.
Follows Confession
Both arrests were made, according to detectives, after George Washington, alias Moorhead, had confessed that he "bumped off" Pierson in accordance with an arrangement with the Rev. Mr. Westbrook and Dr. Townsend, whereby he was to get $300 paid. A check for $130, made payable to Washington, and signed by Dr. Townsend, according to authorities, will form a direct link in the chain of evidence whereby the State will seek to fasten the crime upon the three men. Although denying that he had an affair with the police, Dr. Townsend refused to fully explain the reason why he gave Moorhead the check, other than to state that he had employed him in a private invest-
Westbrook Made Plans
According to evidence which the authorities claim to have, the Rev. Mr. Washburn testified that alleged "gunman" whereby he was to carry the National Baptist auditor "Lr a ride" and is alleged to have written Washington to the police which allowed him to meet Pearson. Washington, who styled himself "the man of the day," represented himself to Pierson as owner of a chain of drug stores, and sought to employ the auditor for the purpose of working with the system f bookkeeping business.
Killed in April
Pierson's body, punctured by six bullets, was found by fishermen near the harbor, and was taken in April. The hands and feet were tied, and the evident purpose of the slayer was to sink the cod. The fish was caught with two grips which were fastened to him by a rope at each end of his body. Continued on Page Eighteen

"The white child goes to one school and the Negro child to another. When they must part, the reaction on both is similar and they start out in life, one with a superior complex and one with a biting
American Citizen
"What we really need today," continued Mr. Lewis, "is to create real American citizenship. The Constitution of the State and the Constitution of Independence mean now just what they meant when they were drawn up. Under these documents we were all born free and equal."
Companying Mr. Lewis to the meeting here were Capt. Louis Mehlinger, of the United States Department of Justice, Dr. A. J. Hearn of the United States Department of Education, E. W. Baker, of the Washington Bureau of the AFRO.
Messrs. Mehlinger and Harris spoke briefly. The Rev. J. W. Livingstone presided.
The committee in charge of the arrangements was composed of the following: Thomas J. Seymour, Freeman S. Shimons, Xavier J. E. Woodland, and Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Holt.

Failure to Agree on Appropriation for District Schools May Limit Program.
SPLIT OVER CLARK
May Give His Opponents a Chance Before Board.
By LOUIS LAUTTIER
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Failure of Senate and House conferences to reach an agreement on the District of Columbia appropriation bill for the fiscal year 1931 may afford those who do not approve of proposed promotions and appointments to major positions in the public school system an opportunity to urge the Board of Education to consider the merits of those they regard as better qualified for the places.
The chief appointments which must await final passage of the District appropriation bill are presidents of the (white) and the Miner Teachers College. The bill carries legislative authorization for the appointments by providing salaries of $5,000 a year each for two presidents of the teachers colleges.
1930 Appropriation
If the conferees do not reach an agreement before adjournment probably next week. Conress is likely to pose a resolution continuing the agreement, even there will be no funds available for the payment of either the salaries of presidents or eight professors of the teachers colleges and the Board of Education, not to be able to form a new appropriation bill, is enacted.
The Senate and House conferences have seemingly reached a deadlock over the amount of money the Federal Government should pay the House to the District of Columbia. The Senate conferences proposed the sum of $12,000,000. The House conferences have insisted upon the sum of $9,000,000, the same amount the Federal Government has contributed to the House conferences have been willing to compromise, but the House conferences will not recede from their position.
Teachers Colleges
Recommendations of presidents for the two teachers colleges have been ready for submission to the Board of Education ever since the bill was passed. The provision bill by the Senate. The bill as passed by the House did not carry any provision for salaries for presidents of the teachers colleges. It carried. The Senate added the provision for salaries of presidents. If the conferences should reach an agreement, Garnet C. Wilkinsan, first assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools, and Eugene A. Clark, an assistant superintendent, as president of the Miner Teachers College. Approval of this recommendation by the Board of Education will create a vacancy in the position now filled by
New Development
There is a new development in connection with this controversy. It is a movement for high class instructors for pupils and efficient supervision of the teachers. Three organizations of the National Association of College Alumnus Club and the Local College Alumnus Club and the Teachers' Union, are interested in this movement.
Members of these organizations assume that unless there is a move in this direction, high school students and educational experience, cultural breadth obtained by contact and travel, will be overlooked. In several cases the Board of Education has appointed to supervise positions of education departments persons less qualified than others whose names were under consideration and sought to justify their action on the grounds that the teachers were temporarily unfit or failed to co-operate with superiors.

WASHINGTON — CNS) with the daily schedule of vacationers by motor and train, the Capital City is beginning to assume a summer aspect which is far from interesting to say the least. In fact, it is a place where many festivals which always fill the calendar during the last week of school, Washington would be a very dull place indeed. The city is also a place to take place in the next five days, one does manage very well to keep amused just attending shows and the events, and one is given for the five popular bridges, whose wedding bells will soon ring merrily.
Miller-Phillips Nuptials.
The second interesting wedding of the month took place Saturday evening when the bride, Irving Phillips, of Georgia. The ceremony performed in the presence of only a few friends and the immediate families of the bride, the woman, was charming in its every detail. Pink gladiolus and larkspur—both blue and white, were used with quantities of summer flowers.
Miss Sidney Harris, of Hartford, Connecticut, a classmate of the bride at Atlanta University, was the onestair slipper with a moosit peplum. Her hat and slippers matched her gown. Her arms were filled with pink cladian hair and a light lappur skirt, like a full ribbon.
The bride's mother wore a crown of flowered chiffon with wilde and rust predominating. A small reception wore a white dress that was at the home of the bride's parents in suburban Washington, following which Dr. and Mrs. Phillips left for a short motor trip through the country, where they will be a home in Anguita after July 1. The bride's travelling costume was of navy blue trousers and a tailored brimmed hat of black panamacas and black accessories.

MAY GET BACK PAY
WASHINGTON, (CNS) — A boy rectify an injustice inadvertently done to the colored directors in the public-school system of the District of Columbia, through the act of Congress of June 20, 1906, which provided for salary schedules for teachers and school officers of the noose education, has been reported fairly to the House of Representatives and committee on the District of Columbia.
The bill provides for a refund to the several so-called assistant directors in the schools of Division 10-13, all that the schools of theiraries erroneously and illegally deducted and withheld under the provisions of the act.
"Assistant Directors"
That act designated the colored directors as "assistant directors" but it was not intended that they should not receive the same salary as the directors in the white schools when perform identically the same service. When the bill came out of conglomerate and passed, however, the assistant directors' salaries were lowered, it is believed through oversight.
Under the provisions of the bill the following sums, which the committee reports as "fair, reasonable and justified" are provided for as representing the entire portion of the salaries deducted and withheld:
Miss E. F. G. Merritt, director of primary instruction, $1,230; Miss Anita Turner, director of physical culture, $7,360; O. W. McDonald, supervisor of manual training, $7,163; Mrs. T. W. Runster, widow of T. W. Hunster, director of drawing, $460; J. W. Shaw, director of domestic science, $5,810; Eva (Clair), director of domestic $4,210.

WASHINGTON—The annual exhibition of the Department of Architecture in the Applied Science building at Howard University, open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., during the summer session, contains some of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by Negro students in architecture.
An artistic use of colors features the exhibition, which consists of graduate theses, illuminated model houses, and stained glass windows.
Suburban Community
One of the thesis displays is a beautiful suburban community development, presented in seven drawings E. Floyd A. Mayfield; the other is a suburban apartment house development presented in four drawings by John A. Welch. Both exhibitors are members of this year's graduating class. There are also illuminated models of duplex houses with landscaping work in the elementary architectural fundamentals through the more complex compositions.
The community project is developed on the basis of a general financial analysis involving approximate cost and investment return. In each, consideration is given to the needs for future expansion. The plan involves seventy-five small houses, at a cost purchasable by the average income. The whole project is a comma with community shops, civic control and recreational facilities. The cross-sections show the appearance of the project from different viewpoints.
Housing Problems
Six other drawings show a detailed development of the features of the general scheme of the project seen from the exterior and the interior. The suburban apartment house development represents a solution of the modern housing problem, and emphasizes the location of the rooms located in the community. These are details considered generally of minor architectural importance. Collection and arrangement of furnishings of typical rooms are given detailed consideration, together with recreational requirements and landscaping. The entire group is presented with due regard for its economic importance. The field of architecture offers immense possibilities for Negroes who combine the education and training to keep intelligently busy," said Prof. Hilary E. Robinson, head of the Department of Architecture. All of the graduates of the School of Architecture at Howard University are employed, with the exception of this year's class. The course normally covers four years of study and requires of students, subject matter and arts, applied science, and economics.

"The methods do not produce results," he continued. "The practice is un-American in essence, un-Christian in character, and brands us undoubtedly as a race of barbarians. We are not a race of barbarians of disregard to the civilized world."
Dastardly Outrage
"Recently a dastardly outrage has been committed upon colored persons in the sixth police precinct of the national Capital, the last place in the world one would expect to countenance unwarranted brutality.
"Third degree is not a local affair by any means; it is a symptom of American life. The institute so much that to abolish it, will take all the efforts that labor, fraternal, and other organizations can put into it.
"Even after the local police had beaten the men almost into insensibility, and had run forced confessions from them, they were not told that they were afraid alone but compelled a man to confess to crimes of which he has no knowledge. A charge of vagrancy is then placed against the man. The police are anxious to absolve the fact that a man bruised and bloody is not a decent sight to be seen walking around the city or on the highways. He is kept in jail, and in this manner the authorities cover up the pain and travail of their victims.

"The theory in the land is that a man has a right to travel when and where he pleases. Actually, a worker has no such right in American agriculture. He can arrest a man not even thought to have committed a crime. take him to the station, give him the third degree, tell him to 'Get the Hell out of town.'
"Surely, this ought to interest our national legislators. It is a distrust to American citizens to forget that we enough not to have undergone the beatings and the strangleings that other unfortunate men and women have undergone, are accessories to "Are we indifferent? Do we know that this thing is continually going on inside you? Are you indifferent to what does not actually happen to ourselves? "Why talk about human justice, when officers of the police or anybody who does not look just as they would have them to see? We can put a stop to these impositions, but we will have to take action. We will have to our truth. We will have to organize.
"We will have to have the assistance of every organization, including the church. If we are become a specialized work of nations, we find them today.
Unemployment
"With this period of unemployment, atrocities of this third degree type are practiced by the fault of their own. They are victims of a social system based upon the exploitation of man by man. This is the underlying basis of the brutality of the habitual subjugation of men to the bails of America. "I personally have seen men brought before the magistrates from some of these brutal dumons who blood streaming from their mouths ever asked the question. Who has struck or who has beaten you?" "They evidently know what has happened to them, the men in condition to anywhere from ten days to six months because they do not have any money on their persons kkofoin, -oussigha indru mwpvp Naturality, that of the vicious and diabolical scheme known as the vagrancy law.
Southern States
"In Southern states, the vagrancy law is in vogue more than in Northern cities. Recently, I had the pleasure of making a trip through the Shennandoah Valley. I saw me the chain gangs by which thousands. These men carried the large sum of labor. Contractors worked them on the highways. Sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, and guards got a rake-off from the contractors. Such is mon knowledge by the men who have investigated and found conditions as they really exist in the Southern states.

Migratory Workers
"The migratory workers are very essential in the economic life of America. Our author lists the reasons why they apparently do not. Would it be fair if I should state that the work of the 'hobo' is just as important and indispensable as the work of the Senators or the Congress? I should not resent injustices of the third type; they should be imposed upon migratory workers or the hobos. Because they continually travel having no fixed abode, naturally they are likely to be weary. We appeal to all to help us in our humane fight."

SERVED SIX YEARS
INNOCENT MAN FREED
Joseph Walker Pays Dearly for Crime He Did Not Commit.
SISTER TO RESCUE
Wilmington, N.C. Woman Helped Secure Pardon.
PHILADELPHIA—Joseph Walker, age 33, is a free man today after serving six years in the New Eastern Penitentiary for a crime which he did not commit, after the Pennsylvania Board of Pardons granted him an immediate pardon upon the appeal of Raymond Pace Alexander and Maceo W. Hubbard, his attiren, last week.
Walker was the victim of circumstances. He was arrested on Christmas Dty, 1923, at 12th and South Streets, Philadelphia, charged with holding up, on Christmas and a crowd of men in a 12th Street between Lobdard and South. He was no evidence other than suspicion, that he had committed the hold-up. The police decided to hold him under suspicion, for other crimes.
Walker, being without funds, could not supply ball and could notugage a weapon, so he was mandated to county prison on December 26, 1924, to await trial. He remained in prison until January 8, 1925, when he was brought up for
Thinking he was being tried for the alleged crime of Christmas eve, Walker stood trial without protest. Because he had no lawyer he did not understand the proceedings and was given no opportunity to defend himself. The jury found him guilty and Jude Alonzo T. Searle of Lycoming County, sentenced him to 10 to 20 years for highway robbery.
Sister Comes to Aid
Knowing his complete innocence, Walker set about the long, discouraging task of securing a pardon. For the sake of his reputation, the succeeded in locating his sister, Mrs Priscilla McCoy, of Wilmington, N.C. who came to Philadelphia last summer and retained the services of Mr. Alexander and of the records revealed that Joseph Walker was convicted of holding up a man named Henry Cook, who was robbed at 10th and Kater Streets on December 16, 1835. Joseph Walker was already a prisoner at Moyamensing prison awaiting trial for the alleged

SEAMEN ARE HEROES 5,000 AT BAPTIST IN SHIP DISASTER S S CONGRESS
Survivors Laud Men Who Risked Lives in Massachusetts Shipwreck.
By C. ELLIOTT FREEMAN, Jr.
(Carroll News Service Correspondent)
BOSTON, Mass.-When the oil tanker, Pinthls, carrying a cargo of 12,000 barrels of gasoline was rammed and sunk by the Steamer Fairfax, of the Merchants' and Miners' line last Tuesday, off the coast at Seituate, Mass., several Negro members of both crews perished.
The known dead members of the race are: John L. Lewis, 27, of Philadelphia, a waiter on the Fairfax, and Henry Jackson, walter of Jaskonville, Fla.
The missing members of the race employed on the Fairfax are: W. Jenkins, of Jacksonville, R. Griffin of Jacksonville, A. Labroth, of Port Meyer, Fla.; John Lewis, of Columbia, S.C.; W. H. Pender, of Baltimore; M. A. Sheely, of Jacksonville, R. H. Winbush of Washington, D.C. These men are believed to be dead.
Among the injured at the Carnegie Hospital are Lois Petton, 28, of Fulton, Fla. and Julian Mearns, 18, of Greensboro, N.C.
Two men, Josiah Peco and J. V. Eubanks, white, appeared at the of the University and Miners Line, ten minutes after they had been officially listed as missing.
Swam Under Water
According to Peco, a second pantry man, he was hemmed in by fire on all sides. He leaped over board and at times had to swim under the water to escape being burned to death by the blazing fire. One hour after he had been swimming around looking for something to rest on, he met Eubanks, and they came upon a floating life boat, which was blazing, the two worked herociously and extinguished the flames. They were locked up by the schooner who later exposed on 18 hours without food or shelter.
Seamen are Heroes
A Fairfax seaman, whose name is only known as Redmond, and Julian Meares, of Greensboro, N.C., were among those praised for their heroism during the disaster. Redmond saved Mrs. Ann Dayton, wife of a Waltham. Mass., physician, while Meares prevent M.D. from leaving overboard into the raining inferno that surrounded the Fairfax.
Southerners Contradicted
Two Southerners, Sorgta, Harry E. Kipp and Hutchof, of the Marines, attempted to discredit the actions of the Negro crew. In their testimony they said that the members of the crew were too panic stricken to be of the slightest interest and contracted by the hostess and nurse of the Fairlax and several passengers. W. M. Smith, of Norfolk, V.a. steward of the Fairlax testified that he had 35 colored men under his care and that of his crew who followed several panic stricken passengers and jumped overboard, did so because of fright and self preservation but that the remainder of the crew who stayed with him, surprised him by their boldness and lack of the slightest fright.

(Shaft Correspondent of the AFRO
CHICAGO. — With over 5,000 delegates from all sections of the country, augmented by local clubs, cadets and other organizations, marching to the strains of "Onward Christian Soldiers," from the Ebenezer Baptist Church to the Wendell Phillips Auditorium, the Twenty-fifth Annual Session of the Baptist Sunday School Congress, which was in session here this week, came to a close Sunday afternoon.
Crowds thronged the streets from the Ebenezer Church at 45th and Vencennes Avenue, where the parade formed, to the school, to watch the marchers, with flowing banners of the Sunday School and B.Y.P.U. emblems of the various departments and divisions, and wearing special white congress caps and carrying flags. Two bands furnished the music.
Dr. Henry Allen Boyd, secretary of the congress with members of the official family of the Sunday School and B.Y.P.U. officers of the convention with prominent visitors and friends reviewed the paraders as they marched into the auditorium, where Congressman Oscar DePriest and the Rev. Vern Johns were the principal speakers.
At this session awards were made of National and State banners to the various Sunday Schools.
The Sunday School Congress opened officially Wednesday, with messengers from thirty-two states reporting at the opening sessions and immediately being assigned to the work of the congress by the secretary after an open session over which the Rev. J. P. Robinson, D.D., of Little Rock, Ark., chairman of the congress, presided.
Sunday School Teachers
The first really heated session of the congress came when the Rev. J. A. Sharp of New Orleans, in delivering a lecture on Sunday School meeting, asked the school teachers who were not willing to give up worldly pleasure for their religious work.
"Most Sunday Schools," he declared, "are suffering from a lack of spirituality and must stop appointing people because they have sweet dispositions, are friendly to the preacher or have been in the church a long time.
"The main requirement of a Sunday School is not knowing he or she has been in the church, but what does the teacher know about the Bible?"
He branded people of the church who are unwilling to give up card and dancing as unfit to be teachers.
Bible Against Dancing
Dr. Sharp said that his objection to dancing was not merely a personal preference, but posed to dancing. Everywhere that dancing is mentioned in the Bible, he declared, there is tragedy. He cited the story in the Baptist's book a woman's dancing caused him to be beheaded, and many other instances. Dr. Sharp was then stumped with the question of whether teachers who dance and play cards should be ousted and replaced with uneducated teachers who adhered to the rules of the church. To this he answered that the church in such cases had two serious problems. One was to prevail upon the unreligious and the uneducated to send the untrained teachers to Bible Schools and institutes where they can learn. The church is too cheap, too developed, and much money on the training of its workers.
Austin Causes Stir
Another stir was caused in the congress by the Rev. J. C. Austin, pastor of the Plymouth Baptist Church of the Episcopal Church, for speculation by a speech that thrilled the throng of hearers. Although a member of the National Baptist Convention, incorporated different factions, he declared that he had ordered his Sunday School to send delegates to this congress and prepare to attend the Grand Jubilee which meets in Yankton, South Dakota, declared that he would be there himself although his own convention convenes in Chicago.
Split Threatening
"The speech of Dr. Austin gave credence to the rumor that a split between himself and the L. K. Williams faction in the other convention of Baptists was imminent due to a breach that has been widening for the past few years. "We were aware of the strained relations came when Dr. Austin was ousted from the chairmanship of the Foreign Mission Board by Dr. Williams last year. Later Dr. Williams withdrew from the ministers' conference of which Dr. Williams is the president, and Joined another
Dr. Austin in an interview declared that he was still a member of Williams and that he was the only free member that he the Bovd group if he so desired. He declared that he favored the two factions and exert his own power about the same.
influence leaders of neither the Boyd nor the Williams groups expressed a favorable reaction to his views, however.
Arrests a Thunderbolt

It was impressed, however, that since the financial affairs of the incorporated faction had reached such tragic proportions, that more than fifty churches had filed applications to join the Boyd group. Many more leading churches sent in applications during the congress.

Try New Appeal
A new form of appeal to be used by Sunday School and B.Y.E.P. workers and educators who have spent the past year devising new forms of presentation of Biblical subjects. A departure from the teacher's teaching was advanced by these conductors who have devised many games, contests and other forms of learning among people in the church and offset the hold of the movies and thethetes.

High Churchmen
With the arrest last week of Dr. A. M. Townsend, secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, and the Rev. J. F. Washburn, one of the largest Baptist churches in Inanapolis, two more high churchmen come un-
It is but fair that judgment against the two ministers be withheld until a court of law establishes their guilt or innocence, but the affair should make all Christians throughout the land on their armour to help salvage religion the minds of the present and coming generations. That money and personal ambitions are taking to large a part in the administration of some our country, is plainly evident. A group membership* more willing to take up the Cross and less inclined to hanker after high powered prosperity must take the reigns, if the church is maintain its prestige in the minds, and its old on the hearts, of young men and women.
The Tariff
Now that Negro leaders are turning more and more to economics for solutions of the problems which contromt them, the passage of the Smoothy tariff bill should loom largely in theought of the week.
This measure, which president Hoover incited he would sign, adds about 20 per cent duties to the old scheme, and according to ports, will increase the cost of about everything the government pays, from the soles of his to the hat he wears on his head.
Like all tariff measures, its friends put it forlorn as an aid to business. They declare that it will keep out of the country commodities proced by cheap European labor, and set the mels of industry going.
The trouble with most tariff measures, even then they do provide protection to American industries, is that they also, provide machinery merely the capitalists and those who control industry, can squeeze the life out of the wage
If Congress, at the same time that it enacts tariff measure should enact some method of rigid regulating prices and wages to correspond with the burdens and benefits derived from tariff legislation. It would, of course, help the working class in a result of tariff protection, there would come higher wages, if the benefits are to be distributed all along the line; but no one exerts this to happen. Like other "Hover prosperity" measures, the root-Hawley tariff bill will enable some already men to buy more, but it would not be the case of poor men nor the emerses the government steps in between the naturally hoggish disposition of the American capitalist and the tolling masses. What it will mean to the Negro is doubly significant; for, besides the general woes of the class, he suffers from the cause of the poor; he must be join the fight against the masses, white and colored, to get share of American prosperity, but. because race, to get his share of that which the working masses do get.
Chuckling at Rumania
Chuckling at Rumania
Whenever the old minster or vaudeville vagist wanted to bring forth a sure and copious buckle from a white audience he would always on the hackedey joke of how little it worked Dinah, the cook, to change husbands. In fact many of the "rag" songs of the South, one of which were written by well known Negroes themselves, were based for the most part in this supposed attitude of moral looseness which many people of the white South like so much to attribute to their white world, however, now has a good name for a chuckle, or if they prefer, a sigh of name, over the antics of King Carol of Rouania, who after a swift drama involving a wife, and two other women on the side, accepted again as the ruler of one of the loudest purely white kingdoms still existing on the face of the earth. Of course, within the confines of the Royal calm, as within the confines of the "four huned," moral lapses take on a more refined design, but when you boil it down to a lowly it is the same bending of the mouth, passions which, if suspicious in an alley, brings the chuckle from the white South and flavors their mental attitude towards the morals of all Negroes.
Now consider this young son of the noble ooded Hohenzollers, for whom his country, the father of the prodigal son, killed the fitted calf. In 1918 he defied his royal parents and contracted a so-called morganatic marriage with one, Zizi Lambrino. But after she had him a son, he yielded to the wish of his mother, King Ferdinand, the marshal of the Princess Helen of Greece. Then six years ago he deserted his princess life and son and ran away from his country with one Magda Lupescu. They have been living a free life in France. But now, his after having died two years ago, he grows tired and decides to ride back over these broken ears, and head his country's government. We venture no criticism of Carol, nor the Roumanian kingdom, but we suggest that when a white man is inclined to chuckle over any defiance, he should be Nerro republic or when a servant comes back with another divorce petition, his minting of the latest royal scandal in Roumania, since basking; to chuckle
The Right to Vote
"If all the political parties in the State of Virginia incorporated the same qualifications in their rules and regulations as did the Democratic party, nobody could participate in the primary except white persons and other persons would be deprived of a material right guaranteed to them under the Constitution as amended: That is, the right to participate in the selection of candidates to be voted for in the election."
Thus, from down in North Carolina, the home state of Simmons and Parker, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, this reaching decision, will be the primary bail hearing in Virginia to Negroes.
Thus, from down in North Carolina, the home state of Simmons and Parker, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, sends this far-reaching decision which opens the primary ballot box of all parties in Virginia to Negroes. And this chalks up another victory for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which has been waging a long campaign against the disfranchisement of Negro voters. Test cases of this kind should be raised in every state in the country where white men attempt to set up a distinctly white man's primary or white man's party. Absolute and unabridged political and economic equality are the basic essentials of citizenship. The AFRO.AMERICAN notes with satisfaction that a Baltimore federal judge, William C. Coleman, concurred in this decision.

Co-operation Needed
The average citizen here will dismiss with passing reflection the action of several members of the graduation class of Douglass High School, in planning a social function at a discredited white night club, but this incident, as insignificant as it may seem, is the symptom of a more depressed malady eating at the vitals of our social structure.
The fact that several years in elementary schools and four years in the high school should produce young men so minded as to want to carry their graduating class, including their girls, out to a white night club.
The fact that some of these young men class officials and then force represent the leadership and so forth of the group, make it the most reproachable.
But this affair was to be given at a time when the faculty of the Douglass High School had no power to stop it—following the regular class prom—between one and five o'clock in the morning, also shows the sum total of what education in the Baltimore school system is meaning and what it teaches the youth to do when not under restraint.
It is far more important to teach what to do when not under the thumb nail rule of the family, what to do under direct control.
Frankly the only conclusion possible is that there is something radically wrong with a system which produces a situation like this, that whatever else may be wrong, the lack of cooperation between units handling child life here, is one of them.
This lack of co-operation it seems to the AFRO-AMERICAN. is the cancer most needed to be cut out of the school system and family life, suppuring child training here.
In a system where principals are refusing to recognize and co-operate with authority above them; where teachers are refusing to wholeheartedly co-operate with principals; where it is admitted that parents tell school authorities what their children will and will not do with reference to rules of the schools, how in the world can it be expected that students will respect the rules and wishes of the system?
It certainly seems that the AFRO-AMERICAN that it is about time that the board of education its program of developing the Negro schools under an assistant superintendency which will have the full authority of that office and which will be held responsible for carrying out the policies of the board from the top to the bottom of the system.

THE CHRIST
He took the water and made it wine,
He heated the sick and raised the dead;
He gave sight unto the blind
And a multitude He freely fed.
He mingled with the common kind,
And the wise He put to shame.
When fault in Him they tried to find
Because He wrought in His Father's name.
This is the "brist who died and rose. Whose spirit moves in the land to-day; He willingly gave his life for those Who want to find a better way. ARCHIE R. SMITH, Princess Anne, Maryland.
Church of Christ Must Not Keep Dumb on Mob Outrages in the Southland.
To the Editor:
The spirit of mob violence has created a tragic situation in our national life which demands the grave concern and the most earnest attention who want to find a better way. The minority group of America, in particular, has suffered no little torture throughout the years as a result of this spirit.
Just as, apparently, the problem of lynching was getting under way, the revival of ever known, with more flagrant daring than ever known, a condition at which even primitive peoples would hang their heads in shame. The recent outrages of lynching and violence are abetted by prejudicial agencies north and south, and given unrestrained license by the silence of the "powers that be," tell a story against the Christianity practiced in this land of the free land home of the brave and orgain of constitution, and the sinister adversary of government.
There are men and women who have spent years in accumulating property and building a land home of the brave and orgain of Lord 1900—their labor is void and their mob violence, their carriages are forced to turn their back on their carriages of a life-time, break with their environments, and seek safety in faraway climes.

Church of Christ Must Not Keep Dumb on Mob Outrages in the Southland.
To the Editor:
The spirit of mob violence has created a tragic situation in our national life which demands the grave concern and the most earnest attention of all serious people. The minority group of America, in particular, has suffered too much throughout the years as a result of this spirit.
Just as, apparently, the problem of lynching was getting under control during the war, the tragedy of murder daring than ever known, a condition at which even primitive people would hang their heads in shame. The power of the mob in South Carolina, Texas in South Carolina and Oklahoma, abetted by prejudicial agencies north and south, and given unrestrained license by the silence of the "powers that be," belied a story against the law in this land of the free and home of the brave.
If those of us who preach a loving Christ of a common people fail to lift our voices against this evil, we are not only recessent to the trust committed to us but by our cunning, cunningness, and worst enemy of well-versed society, and the sinister adversary of constituted government.
There are men and women who have spent years in accumulating property and building up homes, who find that in this year the Lord's hope will, 1950-1960, and again, under the lash of mob violence, many such persons are forced to turn their hacks on their carnings of a life-time, break with familiar environments, and seek safety in faraway places. Offtimes they reach new spheres, but to find that the venom of race hatred has traveled on ahead. It appears that all of their strivings are but a vain attempt to sing the Lord's songs in a strange way, and the Christian cannot afford to be silent.
This land, baptized and enriched by the blood of our fathers must not continue an orgy of license and lawlessness. Liberty must not forever be forgotten, while the Church of Christ remains dumb. We cannot fight with carnal weapons; but WE ARE the followers of one who prayed, and praying won His victory. We are confident there is prevailing power in the earnest prayers of the IF lynching, and mob violence, and injustice can continue, it must do so over the faithful, fervent, faithful, united prayers of fifteen million men, and the hundreds of others who love and practise, righteousness.
On June 22, the fourth Sunday, the Interde-

the United States' largest union, upwards of 18,000 communicants, invites our people to unite in a special "day of prayer" in which petitions will be sent to God for his power against the oppressive laws.

Yes, But the Negro Would Still Be in Chattel
Slavery if All Leader. Had Shown This Writer's
Conservative Submission.
To the Editor:
It has been my intention to say a word since
Motzt II with reference to the Parker campa-
gney. Negro tax-payers of North Carolina are
very much amused over this hallaboo about
Judge Parker. They were not aware that there
was a segregation ordinance before the Circum-
tural School, and did the opponents to Judge
Parker know that this same judge had
decided in favor of the Negro in the primary
fight and would decide the segregation question
favorably.
What has been accomplished in North Carol-
lina been through conservatives and not by
hot heads. Our newspapers can do a world of
good and a world of harm also. The Journal
and Guide writes sensible editorials on public
questions, knowing that all subscribers will not
wash all rots hasashed out.
The opponents of Judge Parker are in a sad
plight. They are not of any party or race, just
half-breeds.

To the Editor:
The colored population of Baltimore exceeded the entire colored population of the State of New Jersey, approximately twenty thousand. The right of franchise granted Negroes of New Jersey, is no different from the right of fran. Negroes in Baltimore, and the State of Maryland. New Jersey has a colored man in the state legislature. Maryland could have two or three colored men in the state legislature if our people would register and vote. Registration is the pre-requisite. If we suppose that Baltimore has ten times more colored people than the state of New Jersey, and they were not registered, their numerical strength would be greater. In comparison, the Jersey colored population came to the matter of electing one of our group, or welding our influence to remove ourselves from the position we occupy in the State of Maryland. Twenty thousand names of Negroes on the registration in any state is of more value to people than fifty millions of Negroes in any state who do not register and vote. We who know the power of the ballot should make ourselves a committee of one in seeing it that our people register, irrespective of what state we do.

Twenty thousand names of Negroes on the registration books in any state is of value to the Negroes in any state who do not register and vote. We who know the power of the ballot should make ourselves a strong single register, irrespective of what party affiliation they choose to select.

At the recent reunion of the United Confederate Veterans at Bloxel, Miss, they passed resolution "expressing their sentiments"cerning an offer to the Grand Army of the Republic for a joint parade, provided the Confederate flag was omitted. The resolution read as follows:

"When the association in time has passed away, we will place to the care and keeping of our dear friend the Confederate flag, emblematic of all that is good and holy—that has never been polluted by the touch of German hirelings, Italian daggers, European wharf rats or African rats, but always raised for the purpose of the freedom of liberty and love of our beautiful Southland."
It seems probable that by an error in telegraphing the word "slaves" was transmitted "slavery"; but however the misspelling does not differ materially from those of the Ku Klux Klan.

Historically, too, the resolution is erroneous for when the association had grown very dark for the years of 1868, the Confederate congress authorized the enlistment of Negroes soldiers.

IN AN AVERAGE GROUP OF 200
Americans in 1915 five children
were being born each year. In the
same average group in 1928 less
than four children were being
born.
In Baltimore and a number of other cities the Negro birth-rate is greater than that of the whites, but the same ratio of decrease is shown during the last ten years. As long as we show a favorable birth-rate in comparison with other groups, we are better. But the less favorable the birth-rate generally follows the losing of ground economically, and that is not good for a race.
THERE ARE BUT EIGHT genuine chinchilla in coats in existence, each having I. J. Fox, internationally known furrier, who arrived in New York this week.
A real chinchilla fur coat costs about $50,000 and can be worn only three or four times before it deteriorates. Gloria Swanson, the movie star, is said to own one. How strange are human things, and the things you make them happen with a fur coat such as only seven other women in the world have, makes a human being happy, even though it is made of such shoddy material as genuine chinchilla, which is not as usable as plain cotton or wooden cloth, and perhaps not as attract-
But with our system, logically there could be only ONE really happy human being in the world, and that would be the one who had something no other human being could get.
"BE WISE AS SERPENTS, and as harmless as doves," was the advice given by Dr. W. D. Moss, Presbyterian minister, to a North Carolina senior graduating class.
Considerable of the commencement advice to Negro graduates this year had to do with being patient and long-suffering. That may be good advice, but most of the men and women whom the world has thought to be enough worth while to perpetuate them in marble and stone, carried swords or guns, or held pens.
BLAMING IT ON RED Russia is a favorite pastime of city, state and governmental officials. Representative Hamilton Fish declared in Congress last week that "the Communist party of America has organized a special committee to revolutionize activities among the Negroes and to send selected Negroes to Moscow for special Communistic training for world revolution."
There does seem to be some truth to what Representative Fish says, but when you come to think about it, Russia has as about much right to put over her economic system in America as had the big financiers of America to organize an international boycott and propaganda movement to disrupt the Soviet government.
The Russians believe that America stands in the way of complete human justice, and that it is her duty to expand this doctrine in foreign countries.
She has had a good president for this sort of shock in America which shocked her finger into the finances of a number of weaker countries.
MAYOR BROENING has completed his Employment Stabilization Commission, containing the name of a Negro member. While the main objective of the mission is to lessen unemployment, there is an additional one which should certainly be brought before that body and that is, a more equitable distribution of jobs to Negro men and women.
This, in fact, is the main problem underlying all problems affecting the Negro in Baltimore and since the Negro comprises one-eighth of the population, should be given a proportionate chance to make an honest living.
Further, we hope that the member of the group representing us will not fail to press this point, not only as to menial jobs, but throughout the industrial life of the city, beginning with the city government itself.
WHILE THERE IS LITTLE likelihood that Miss Elizabeth Gilman, Socialist candidate for governor of Maryland, will win in the coming election, her candidacy will provide a good opportunity for Negro voters to vote their consciences and views on many important issues of the day.
Since Norman Thomas, the most practical and able leader the Socialist party has had, pummeled this incumbent has increased greatly,
There is little doubt that on matters affecting the Negro, especially as to economic policies, the Socialist group offers more than either of the two major parties, and a vowe in Maryland puts up a formidable vote for these policies, it will greatly impress the practical politicians. But Miss Gilman, in her own right, will appeal to intelligent Negroes; for there has been no more straight-hitting, conscientious crusader for the rights of human beings, including the rights of Negroes, than the president of John Hopkins. She has not slidsepped nor flinched once when she has had to meet difficult situations; and young men and women, club leaders and others not compelled to bow the knee to Baal, might find a safe place for their votes in the Socialist party.

CHICAGO, Ill.—The day before I arrived in Chicago, the gangsters killed a reporter because he knew much. When got home, I trained I standed in front and dumb to the poster for fear there was a reception committee of gunmen hanging around.
This was, of course, unnecessary, because, if a gangster couldn't look in my face and see how dumb I was be ought to go out of the business.
There were two honest-to-goodness deaf mutes on the train and they chattered incessantly their fingers. Every time one would tell a dirty story he would go wash his hands.
When one deaf mute gossips on the latter's eyes burn. They don't shut their eyes when they go to bed so they can see if the other talks in his sleep. One guy talks in talking with his fingers he wigged his toes.
When a deaf mute couple want to settle an argument in the middle of the night one gets up and turns off the light.
Before you get off the train in Chicago the conductor takes your name and address. They say they want to notify your folks in case you don't get back.
If you refuse to wear the steel vest they hand you upon leaving the train, the insurance company refuses to be responsible for you while you roam around the city.
Chicago is a hospitable city. They welcome you with your arms firearms, along the street walk. When the shooting starts, walk, don't run, to the nearest manhole."
Manhole covers are left off at all street corners so that if you get shot it ain't the city's fault.
There are certain portions of the streets marked off in white lines and called safety zones. For every citizen shot up, the police have a responsible has to pay the city five dollars. Most of the taxes are collected in this manner.
If a gunman gets too far behind in his payments, his license is revoked.
All the schools teach the pupils how to play "hop, skip, jump" so they can protect themselves when they grow up.
Chicago children are more patriotic than those in any other city. The police there is so much shooting going on all the time they think every day is Fourth of July.
Every time an automobile back-fires a full dozen undertakers rush to the scene.

The recent census shows that one-half the population of Chicago are widows and orphans. The other half is nervous.
When a Chicago husband kisses his wife and family good-bye in the morning when he leaves for work he means it. Many a man who leaves home vertically is brought back horizontally.
Very few people take life seriously. In fact, some gangsters take life without thinking about it at all.
If a man is killed out here by an automobile it's an accident, but if he is shot in a holdup, it's called death from natural causes.
Most of the bank cashiers suffer from cramps from keeping their hands above their heads most of the time.
The reason some people work so hard accumulating riches is so they can make a big showing in the papers after the robbery.
If you don't own enough to get your name on a burglar's visiting list, you don't rate in decent society and are likely to be snobbed.
All told, Chicago is a wonderful city to visit. Even permanent residents don't live here long. They call it the Windy City, but when you hear something whining by your head you don't know whether to blame it on Jack Frost or Al Capone.

We have witnessed recently a revival of the old time spelling contests—"bees" they are common called. Schools have competed with schools; there have been statewide contests.
When one examines the list of words which put down various speeches in a recent national contest, in eighteenth punds, it appears that many "easy" words were missed as "hard" ones. For example, the seventh from which it was missed on the word "abominally". Assuming that the word was clearly pronounced, one wonders how it was passed on to the fourth from the last up found a way to misspell "blackguard". Between these two, the fifth and sixth from the last down, of which "abyses" and "con-
Now, in view of our present-day methods of attempting to learn English, words would be regarded as difficult, because the pronunciation gives little chie to the particular vowels in the former of the particular consonants in the former.
However, that condition is true of any if not most English words. Is there any reason why we spell with a "c" and "k" or with a "k" and "k"? The answer gives no clue, yet it is probable that every competitor in that contest, would have spelled those two words correctly. But suppose they were called to spell them, not be a name when the first letter was "c" or "k" not to mention the several possible vowels. Now "kern" is no harder to spell than "kite"; whatever difficulty it presents, we are merely to unfamiliar, that's all. And there lies the key to learning to spell—reading, which gives fairly arty with the words, the words are close to correct pronunciation is helpful, but the important matter is acquaintance. In short, we learn to spell by the same process that learn to recognize people by their names, association, contact, and the like.
The girl next to the last one upent down on "asceticism, and no wonder; yet the sounds and the words are as different as any such difficult combinations as in the word "though" or "what." (Remember that, although we spell the last word "wh," we pronounce it as "world." The words are easy, because familiar.

Dr. DuBois's discussion of the controversy between the so-called higher education and industrial education, in his Commencement Day address, parallels the comment of the long-dead Josh Billings on race prejudice: Said Josh: "I don't see no color prejudice. Ez between white men and colored. I think jest as much of ez of the other—and a little more."
Progress of the Press.
One of the pleasing signs of the times is the marked advance in political thinking that is being made by the Negro press. Of course most of the Harlem paper are still in the day nursery stage of politics, but one turns to the important provinces in the prospect is decidedly encouraging. The Chicago Defender no longer feels called upon to defend the duplices of the Republican party, guardless of their deviousness, and Pittsburgh Courier no longer spoken in many of President Beverly's most conspicuous policies. In the South, the Norfolk Journal and Guide is showing a commendable open-mindedness while the Baltimore Afro-American has emerged as a vital tribalism.
When other leading units of the Negro press reach the enlightened attitude of this paper, we may expect more intelligent voting on the part of Negro laymen who depend on the press for guidance. — N.Y. Tattler.
Week's Poem
BY LOUIS GINSBURG
Love that is hoarded molds at last
The only thing we ever day
The only thing we ever have
Is what we give away.
And kindness that is never used
But hidden all alone
Will slowly harden till it is
As hard as any stone.
It is the things we always hold
The only things we ever day:
The only things we ever keep
Are what we give away.

Our Educational Program Needs Revamping
BY KELLY MILLER
The Dominance of Whiteness in Art is Synchronous with the Rise of Nordic Influence in World Affairs.
To correct a misapprehension due to a typographical error in my last release, I will restate that the Negro face and features of the Sphinx and the Indian statue on the dome of our Capitol are but symbolic portraits of the exploited races by their depoliers, and do not represent their genuine artistic models.
Dr. Edward Wilmer Blyden, the Liberian scholar, was the first thinker to point out the blighting effect of Aryan art on yellow, brown and black peoples. The white man makes an artistic fetish of color, before which he falls down and worships as a heathen before his graven God, God and the angels must be white, else there is no heaven for him.
Even Shakespeare Shows Color Bias
The dominance of whiteness in art is synchronous with the rise of the Nordi; influence and control in world affairs. Shakespeare, looking backwards over hundreds of years of Latin social polity, can hardly hide his Nordic disdain for a hero different in "color, clime and degree."
As Dr. Blyden plainly points out, there is little or no racial poison in the great Greek, Latin, Hebrew and Oriental literatures. But the moment one reaches the line of Latin demarcation from the Nordic cult, the color line in literature and art begins to assert itself.
Shakespeare is the poet of physical beauty. Give him a rag and a bone and a hank of hair, and he will portray the ideal lady. Only the features must be fair and the hair straight.
Two Ways of Escape: Idealization, Discernment
There are two ways of escape, on one of which is open to the Negro First, idealize one's own type. This is obviously impracticable, if not impossible. You cannot apothessize blackness, in a white environment.
The second method is to see through the outward form to the inner meaning. Paul Robeson, with his great historic skill, could hardly play Shylock or Hamlet to the satisfaction of a Nordic audience. Otello fits his race and color. But it would take histrionic genius to transform Robeson to make himself acceptable in a purely white man's role.
To see the soul of Hamlet, without regard to the race, color, or degree of the performer, would indicate transient artistic triumph. This is precisely what the Negro actor must do when he essays roles intended for white actors. Otherwise the effort seems bizarre and grotesque.
"What Spot . . . What Place, in All the World . . . ?"
The Negro is accustomed to view in art and to contemplate in literature all of the noble qualities of mind, heart and soul portrayed under the similitude of a white skin.
As he peruses the literatures, and as he views the art galleries and moving pictures of the world, he is forced to utter the wall of Pix Anees, when the helm on canvas the Trojan debacle as portrayed by the heroine conquests.
"What spot is there, O Achates what place in all the world, that is not full of the woes and miseries of our race?"
The consolation of the homely woman is the deep-seated conviction that beauty is only skin-deep. The Negro can save his soul only by penetrating Teneah the surface of things and discerning the essential principle of beauty divorced from outward form.
Not Color of Skin, but Quality of Soul, Counts
Our educational statesmanship should shape programs of Negro schools to compete with this great music, poetry, sculpture, painting and other forms of art are calculated to reveal the inner soul
It is not the color of the skin, but the quality of the soul that counts in true art. Dunbar, Burleigh, Hayes, Paul Robeson and other Negro artists are performing this herculean task. Who cares for the race of Newton or Einstein or portraits of John or forbidden—they imitate the universality of his appeal. Who has not observed much Negro talent spoiled by education in a white environment by being carried away with the superficial aspect of the life around him or her, without delving into its deeper meaning and significance? When, in after life, such persons cannot face the environment, people cannot sink within them, and their lives become passive, energies paralyzed.
Superficial knowledge gathered hastily from the white man's books, without thorough digestion and deep analysis, is apt to do the Negro harm rather than good. He should therefore stud: science, mathematics, philosophy, which are ethnic variations. His curriculum should also all forms of culture based upon an interpretative judgment, lest he stigify his own soul.

BOSTON. — Settling once and for all its policy as to discrimination against Negroes, the National Conference on Social Work voted to refuse to hold its meeting in any city where there would be any discrimination against them in any of the functions conducted under the conference auspices. This sweeping provision covers not only metings, but social functions, hotel accommodations and all of the activities of the organization. It presents a victory for the National Urban League the executive secretary of which has for several years been a member of the executive committee of the organization.
Fifty Present
There were fifty Negro delegates present among the five thousand which attended the session.
Eugene Kinckl Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League, after six years of continuous service on the executive committee declined to be nominated. The nominating committee of which Forrest Washington, the director, the Attorney General of Social Work was a member, unanimously named T. Arnold Hill, director of Industrial Relations of the National Urban League for the vacancy.
Special attention was given to the problems of the Negro in the fields of industry and child care. Jesse O. Thomas, member of the committee on Industrial and Economic problems, presided at one of the sessions on industry. Arnold Hill also spoke at the session.

Senate May Investigate Southern Primaries
NEW YORK—That the United States Senate may investigate the entire question of barring Negroes from voting in the Southland, was indicated last week in a long dispatch in a New York paper written by Mark Sullivan, white, veteran political Washington correspondent.
"There are two events that, combine cast a political shadow, though what the shadow portends does not seem to be recognized by many whom it will most concern," says Mr. Sullivan.
"One event is the defeat of the confirmation of Judge John J. Parker, of North Carolina for the Supreme Court, which comes from than by any other agency, by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
"That this organization will focus its energies on conditions affecting the Negro participating in the Democracy in the Southern states can be taken for granted."

Group Plans to Fight Discrimination
In Job Distribution
NEW YORK CITY. — The United Mechanics Association, recently organized and composed of Negro artisans in the building trades unions of this city held a meeting Saturday at the New York Urban League, more than 150 men, representing every branch of the building industry, were present.
The purpose of the meeting, as stated by former L. J. Rheaafort, a union bricklayer and president of the association, was "to perfect an instrument with which to secure for ourselves a greater measure of justice, not only from those who work in the building industry, but also from our brother members of the unions in our trade."
The principal speaker was Frank R. Crosswait, well known Negro labor organizer and recently one of the leaders of the Pulman Porters' Union.
After recounting his own varied experiences and observations which have shaped his involvement in the labor movement, Mr. Crosswash said he was "glad to see Negro union men in such large numbers, becoming at least aware of the problems they face, and willing to solve them." "Race prejudice is an inescapable fact in American life," he said, "we encounter it wherever we turn. In industries, in industries, in the labor movement, the monster is everywhere." Others who spoke were Prof. Jenkins of Kansas City, Mo., who also worked with the Negro labor movement into a strong organization, and Mr. S.

Dangers Lurk in Path of Girl Seeking Work in New York
Writer, in First of Series, Tells of Pitfalls Unscrupulous "Employers" Place in Way of Innocent Girls who Answer Want Ads.
A
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of a series of articles dealing with the employment problem facing young women who come to New York City.
By EVA JESSYE
NEW YORK. (Special)—The question of employment is the most vital problem confronting young women who come to this gigantic city in search of their fortunes. Contrary to the belief held by the rest of the country, New York is not desirable jobs and though Negro women are easier to find positions than men, women especially if they be young and fairly attractive, look long and far before encounter a position which they can hold with honor, and to which no strings are attached.
Would Hire "Maid"
While it is true that it pays to advertise, the girl, new to the city will learn that great care must be exercised in the wording of a "Situation ad" newspaper ad for there are scores of women who are white men, some of them ostensibly respectable, who avoidly cull the want they may devour."

Legislate employers consult the want ad. section in order to fill their needs, but for every such request, many calls and replies from men who seek to establish an immoral relationship under the guise of hiring a maid. Grace to camouflage their intentions, but put the proposition in plain, unvarnished language. When written after several years of observation, some personal discoveries, and the following experiences, incredible as some may be, will help girls who sought employment as household help or office assistants.
Planned Drinking Party
ELSIE—came to Harlem from a little town in Virginia. She was neat, industrious, and came from good school, and I believed that the first step toward respectability lay in getting work. The first Sunday morning she scanned the want act, sections aligned on what seemed the very thing—"Young Colored Girl Wanted; small apartment, Call party." When Elsie presented herself at the Buxman address, she was promptly opened by a man, disheveled, and wearing pajamas and bathrobe. Taken aback, yet expecting the lady of the house to make her appearance, she stepped inside and stood walking. "Have a chair, girl." urged the man, sitting himself and pouring a drink of liquor from one of the man's cups. He sat in a chair, uttered in a large table in the center of the room. Becoming apprehensive, Elsie looked about hastily—all was rank disorder, evidently there had been an all-but-ridiculous resume with herself as long guest.
"Where is the lady of the house?" she queried. "There isn't any, yet, he paused, giving her a meaning leer. Noting her look of disgust, he hastened to explain the attractive features of her early mornings in order to get him out of bed, put the room in order—but really, she would find it more difficult to explain in all the work, even to preparing the light breakfast for just two of them. "In fact." Elsie later explained to her mistress an intriguing for a mistress not a malt.

Dentists, Doctors Included
Because of the refined environment and usually light, clean work positions with dentists and doctors are very much desired by the intelligence and employment. However, nine out of ten such positions are open to "light skinned" only, and the ads. inserted by the employers themselves leave no doubt about the job. The dentist and physician of necessity must exercise great caution in the type of person he employs to assist him. The assistant, who often serves as the three-fold capacity assistant, is seized, maid, must be courteous, cheerful neat, healthy and possess unusual intelligence and tact, possessing all these, the applicant happens to be other than "high yaller" her chances are as slim as Old Mother Hubbard's bone.

THEATER NOTES
Robeson Studied Hard for Difficult Othello Role
Actor Wants to Live in Germany and Make Study of Theatre and Concert Stage.
Discussing the great preparation made by Paul Robeson for his part as "Othello," and the tremendous success he has scored in the Shakespearean drama, Irma Craft, white, writing in the New York Herald-Tribune, says:
Has Improved Remarkably
Has improved
Robeson's art has progressed
enormously since the days of "The
Emperor Jones". He is now a genuine member of the theatre. Behind the progress stand two years of living among English people, absorbing English ways of thinking and approaching Shakespeare in his native land. Behind this performance lies, too, the background of Robeson's Continental experiences. The value that has come to him of knowing French, German and Russian directors. The ambition to do more than Negro spirituals on the concert platform. To do the songs of Brahms and Schubert in German after going again to live in Germany.
Wants to Live in Germany
Robeson has mapped out his plans for many years ahead. He intends to play a long time in Germany where Reinhardt has promised him that he may alternate drama with his concert form. He wants to study under the masters of the German stage as well as under the masters of German
Will Study Technique
"Germany," as he declared, "is the gateway now of all of Europe. Russia sends its artists and its directors, Hungary, Austria, Italy, Norway. There is the ministry of an intricate government department, and I want to learn my theatre and concert songs at first hand. After some time in America next season I shall go back to Germany. I will be in the international spirit of the man, who one night played as the first American guest artist, the "Emperor Jones," in the National Theatre at Prague, and next night packed the largest concert venue place with his Nero spirituals. Robeson wants to go on with the mounting planes of two great arts. For into his moving, sensuous Negro voice see perhaps the heart music we perhaps the long muted history of a suffering people.
WHITE PRINCIPALS RETARD VA. SCHOOLS
Richmond and Lynchburg Only Cities that Use Ancient Methods.
TEACHERS ROBBED
Biggest Salaries are Paid to Whites.
RICHMOND, Va.-White principals, low salaries, poorly trained teachers and limitations to advancement, are blamed for the backwardness of the public schools of Richmond and Lynchburg, Virginia, in a survey by John J. Corson, white, in the Richmond (Va.) daily News Leader. Negro schools are used as a training school for the younger white principals and a shelf for the older ones, worn out in service, the writer states. Not only are the less efficient principals relegated to the Negro schools, but it is held that Negro would be best fitted to a training principals because of the more sympathetic attitude to the problems of race.
nursery is charged that white principals do not visit Negro homes, nor are visiting teachers employed, as is the case in white schools. twenty-nine nurses employed to visit white and colored schools daily are
Teachers Untrained
Only one per cent of the elementary and junior high school teachers now employed in Richmond schools have college credits. Seventy-one per cent of the high school force training institutions have the fact that Richmond has two teacher-training institutions, the Armstrong Normal School and the Virginia Union University, which afford opportunity for excellent prospective and the continuance of their education for those in the system.
ready in the Low Salaries Blamed
While many take advantage of these educational facilities, in fact a large number of teachers have the low salary scale for Negro members of the school system. The annual salary of women teaching in the elementary schools is $850, with a maximum, after ten years of service. White women begin at the too small paid colored women. Colored men are paid approximately $100 per year more than the colored teachers and teachers in the high schools are started at a salary of $800 per annum and may attain a maximum of $1,400 per year of experience. Thus little insurance is provided for the necessary financial outlay for higher training. The limitation of advancement is a further contributing factor, poor quality of the teaching force. The majority of these schools have no hope of advancement farther than the class room, since the school officials maintain a rigid policy of the employment only of white men women to principals in schools.
A. H. Hill, superintendent, has publicly stated that, in his *minion*, white men as principals of Nerro schools made for their most efficient and. so far asked that the school contemplated no change in its policy.

The Tale of Two Cities
Chicago's Southside is what Carl Van Heiden intended to write about when he wrote his almost forgotten Nigger Heaven," but he got into Harlem, New York, by mistake. It was a perfectly natural mistake, however, and could have happened to almost anyone, the two are so nearly identical, and yet—so different.
Harlem has its crowded tenements, shooting skyward, its teeming thousands and high rents. The Southside has just as many if not more teeming thousands packed into just as crowded tenements, but their presence is not quite as noticeable because the Southside has room to breathe. It makes up in area what Harlem has in height.
Apartments here are never more than two or three stories high with windows that open on ally porches where one can enjoy the breezes that are even taller, as against Harlem's coop-up incubators where the fire serves as the only breathing spaces during the torrid months.

Sound Advice.
She was giving her views on how to handle men, in front of the Vincennes Hotel the other yawning. "You better hurry and take it home to your old man or he'll give you a good body beating," a friend advised, noting the diamond studded "until death doth us part" on her finger. "Not me, kid," hiccupped the wedded one. "My ball and chain couldn't be persuaded to strike me matters not how late I stay out.
"You see I just came back to him after giving him the run around for six months. He's sql glad to have me back he不 harm me even in self-defense. That's the way to do 'em, kid; stand 'em up for a while, and they'll eat out of your hand." Next morning she had two of the snappiest looking black eyes I ever saw.
The Burving Racket.
The burying rack is one of the latest to hit the burg, and is coining jack for the morticians.
A guy with an undertaking establishment hires a flock of second-hand insurance writers, "numbers" heelser or what-have-you, and sends them from door to door, signing up folks who are made to realize that they are going to die. They sign up to be the recipient of a $400 funeral, for which they agree to pay $400 at the rate of so much a week.
The collector calls every week, but in the event that you die before you pay your $400, you are in a very serious predicament, for your funeral fund has not been raised on their hand, if you die 20 years after you have paid up your $400, you still get only a $400 funeral, because your money draws no interest. And regardless of when you die you will never know whether you got $400 worth or not because you do not get the money at all but a funeral that may cost $50 or less.
Things Worth Knowing.
The fashionably dressed young woman who has been packing them in at the Pleasure Inn with her charming personality, shapely limbs, beautiful soprano voice, who is known to the frequenters as "Sophie Tucker," is not a "she" at all, but a "he." Nora Holt Ray, who becomes brunet or blonde at will, speaks a half-dozen languages and who can call more millionaires by their first names than any other sepia damsel on the market, is recognized as one of the best night club hostesses on the Lake Front and wherever she hangs out her shingle the crowd that comes around would not at all be out of place on Wall Street.
Chicago homeowners are worried over the coming tax collection which is the first in two years, but the howl comes because people without political pull pay $500 assessments while those with a drag pay only $200 or less for the same kind of property, if they pay at all.
The son of one of the leading Baptist preachers stabbed another racketeer almost to death, but it did not get in the noospeppers because the dad was busy trying to catch the people who killed one of his assistants, an auditor.
Coppers in big yellow automobiles prowl up and down the boulevards throwing their searchlights on cars, looking for rum-runners and mashers who try to pick up dames on the sidewalk. They arrest the mashers.
You need not be loosome in Chicago unless you want to be; because of where you are from there is a club composed of people from your own town or state. There is a Louisiana Club, an Alabama Club, a Maryland Club, and so on. If you watch the social columns of the newspapers and see where you can crash in without an invitation, and you are made plenty welcome.
Traveling the Rocky Road to Fame
Raymond Turner Conquers Tremendous Obstacles to Achieve Success in Movies
Sometimes "Ray" found it necessary to tramp the streets, too weak to work, but too proud to beg. Finally, he got a "breath" and then, even Al Jolson, who seldom shares the spoils with anyone, recognized the young colored actor in an important part in "Big Boy" (1934) and "WOW." Success at last! Then the film magazines began bidding for his talent. Read this throbbing story below:
By BUDDY MASON
This is a tale of dreams that came true. Dreams of fortune and fame that a young colored boy visioned while toiling fourteen hours a day under a blazing sun on a New Mexico ranch. The New Mexico sun is more conducive to dreams than work, but young Raymond Turner had many tasks to perform. As he plodded his weary way about the sun-scorched ranch under the relentless rays of Old Sol he dreamed and planned.
At the little theatre in Rosswell he had seen a few moving pictures. On the rare occasions when he was to scrape together a few dresses to procure a shirt this shabby little enchantment he would early and stand outside waiting for the box office to open—and when the last show was over and the lights put out for the night, a bright-eyed lad would reluctantly leave the theatre.
Young Turner KNEW he could act! His friends were equally positive that couldn't.
A job as janitor in an apartment house was found and Raymond, still weak and sick, started on an endless nightmare of heavy lifting, emptying garbage pails, and almost everything that a fellow in this emaciated condition should not do.
He made the mistake of telling his friends of his hopes and aspirations. Many men with the spark of genius that might have been famous had been clumped into an emasculating collision by "friends" who could not understand. Not so with Raymond. Their jibes and laughs only served to confirm with him the permission to prove to them that they were wrong.
Tramped the Street Hungry
He gathered his few belongings, and taking an old tin can from its hiding place dumped the contents of this improvised savings bank tables, which were nickels, quarters and few half dollars represented the savings of a long period of self denial. Pocketing the few dollars of change, he the West and started his own young city where his heart already was—Hollywood.
Several weeks later a tired, dusty, hungry boy trampled from studio to studio in search of work. No seemed to have a chance to help him. The massive studio gates and the uniformed gatemen seemed always between him and his objective. He was nearly famished, but the indomitable gatemen carried him from Mexico to the most trying conditions, kept him plumbing on.
Dame Fortune Smiles
Then Dame Fortune smiled on him. One day as he was waiting near a studio gate half supporting his tired, starved body by grasping the iron rail of the door, Opportunity knocked. A Rockett the producer of "Abraham Lincoln," came hastily out of the gate and asked the gateman to an employment at Rockett. As noticed Rockett sage slightly against the rail. Young Turner became suddenly aware of his gaze and attempted to serect. Rockett was pleased a bit, then pulled himself and self-together and smiled—the sort of smile a courageous man smiles when he is losing a hopeless fight. Rockett, of course, understood that had placed him high in the field of directors and producers, understood, partly at least. He asked the gateman to cancel; call; turned to Raymond; call; inside. Son. I wanted to talk to you.
Lands Chauffeuring Job
In Rockett's office on the big studio lot a young colored lad was telling an amazing story of hardship and perseverance to the delightful the producer, the conversation drifted into channels that led to this unburdening of confidence. At the end of the narrative the man, whose name is heart, softly said: "I had it sized up about that way. That's why I asked you to come in. I've lost my chauffeur. He has changed his will. He will either company on the lot and I let him take it. It seems to be just my luck to get good men who want to act and then lose their lives. I will drive, Can drive?" Ray answered in the affirmative.
"Well," said Rockett, "you have a job. We'll find out about something. I will need now is a "flock of hot groceries."
His First Picture
The deal was made. He 'he was not yet an actor. he at least had access to the studio. As he told me
"It seemed wonderful to see the gates that had so long been broken and that I drove up in Mr. Rockett's big limousine." Raymond Turner was not destined to chauffeur for long. When the picture, "Hills of Miss Meh," was made, Al Rockett let Direktor McKewan have Ray for the comedy.
His histrionic ability was definitely proved in this picture, and he rapidly gained prominence in the film colony for his portrayal of comedy and dramatic parts in such pictures "The Valley of Johnny Jones," "The Patent Leather Kid," and "The Mart Mart," "Louisiana," and many others.
and martial use who saw him in, "Kit Carson," will ever forget the lovable colored lad who, by feats of magic, wins over a boy. He will remember the cost of the tribe in time to come to Fred Thomson's rescue with his band of warriors. Such intelligent and human characters have given him a credit to his race. Just when his career had really begun, he was stricken with ptomaine poisoning and was removed to a pital, where he was overworn with the poison. He remained flat on his back for many months; too weak to move, hovering between life and death, and friends that were acquired simultaneously with his fame suddenly disappeared.
Too Proud for Charity
100 frouls
The money he had he had lavished on the children of friends would have stood him in good stead at this time for while he was in the hospital he lost his car and most of his possessions through these self-sacrifice. He was too tired to ask for assistance from any of the stars or other friends on the studio lots, such as Mr. Rockett. He did not even let them know that he had a long old address there what response, and they wondered what had happened to him.
Ate Left-Over Food
When he 'was finally discharged from the hospital, he heaped everything of value that he had owned was either sold or in pawn, including his clothes. The shabby suit he wore when released from the ward represented his 'world pride'.

A picture which he had had a prenuptial part the year before had been held for a late release and was not shown until the year after it had been made.

He went to work shortly after his reappearance, due partly to the fact that his performance in the recently released picture was so good, those who had seen it. After a few ordinary "program" pictures, he landed a part with Rockett again, and when AI learned what he had got, through out letting him play, he was amazed.
A couple of pictures on the Fox lot helped to put him more firmly on his feet and replenish his meager wardrobe. Immediately after the pictures, he "Boy Boy." He was a "WOW." Even Jolson, who is notorious for claiming all of the spotlight, lauded his acting highly. Warner Brothers were thinking of him to a time come when they didn't think fast enough for the Fox people brought him back to their lot in the mid-1990s.
A. Success at Twenty-six
At the age of twenty-six, Raymond is well up the ladder of fame after armouring obstacles that he could have discouraged.

IMITATION PREVAILS
Pilfering of Original Show Ideas is Condemned. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.-The hue and cry of the fellow who is putting forth what might be considered a super-human effort to amuse the show-going public over the Theatre Owners' Booking Association circuit, has been attributed to many causes, according to reports coming from the ranks of the traveling shows and randevillians.
A canvass of the circuit and direct contact with the managers show that the public has been worn threadbare with "canned music" and similarity of offerings in vaudeville, and the managers over the circuit have definitely decided that high time to close the doors of their theatres and give the public a rest for the summer, and allow for the managers and educators of shows and vaudeville to pull themselves to think out new ideas and build bigger and better shows for the coming fall season.
Public Is Tired
There is no doubling of the fact that the public is at all times ready and willing to see.shows in the flesh. It is not to assume in the immediate past that have been poor, but the public has become tired. The theatre owner has taken cognizance of this fact and has closed with the view of offering greater inducements when the hotel owner is present. Need Something New Theatre owners desire that, when managers and producers start casting and producing their shows for composing and producing, pilfitting and reproducing will be dispensed with and that more original ideas will come into being. The "Good and Bad Wife," "Haunted Judge," "Hotel of Da Vinci," "About two hundred other ideas of the lamented Bob Russell, should be dispensed with and forgotten.
Managers and producers can, by careful care, travel along that "least line of resistance," produce many new shows.

Mr. Burleigh was in the audience at the concert of operatic and concert numbers presented by the Dobson, Tuesday evening, in the "Crow's Nest" of the Hotel Morton, featuring Miss Dobson's pails.
The noted artist-composer came to the short job to attend the concert to hear Mrs. Davenport, whom he characterized as one of the most promising sopranos he has heard in recent years.
In her first group, Mrs. Davenport sang "Bessay" and "Caro in famous "Jean", but it was in her rendition of Verdí's "Caro Nome", an aria from Rigolotto, that she pleased her audience most.

When I am dead
Let no far fetched eulogy
O'er me be said
But let a mass, instead,
Of simple words be said,
And that suffice will be.
A certain Chewish show producer is somewhere in these United States leftkirk up his sleazy sleeve at the way he pulled the wool over the eyes of some of the so-called wise performers.
This fellow went out in search of talent, and, knowing the present trend of the stage at this season of the year, he had no trouble in getting performers to flock to him like bees to the proverbial hive. He outlined to the unemployed workers a plan whereby they would get small salaries—but that would be more than offset by the fact that they would get a cut in the box-office receipts, a thing that in some select circles is called playing on per centage.
There were two fellows, however, who, though not so old in the show business, nevertheless did not think so much of the plan. "You may count us out," they said, although their stomachs were much of the reason that their respective throats had been slashed.
And a couple of old-timers laughed, "Boy," they said, "you'd better take this break while you have it, because you can get another offer." And slapping their thighs, they joined the group that had already agreed to the producer's terms.
The two followers who refused to join the company, because of what to them, seemed to be a precarious financial condition, grabbed themselves jobs as singing waiters in a second-rate eatery. The others left town with the show and the suave promoter, seeing business take a turn for the worse, did one of those—you know what. He vanished, as the pseudo-scientist would, into thin air, and with him vanished the shekels that the role in their jeans at the end of the week.
Broke, and hungry, and with hotel bills facing them, the performers managed to scrape up enough money to buy a fancy Clue. They were ashamed to look their friends in the face, these Wise Guys. And the two youngsters, who may never get another offer, are taking weights and a number each week from their tips and wages. Just another of those things.
**R-R-Racket**
Maybe you've already heard about it but you have never heard about it. It was Louis Sobol, of the New York Graphic, unfolds to it. It's a simple racket, according to Jack Delisler of the city staff, and it needn't annoy you unless your husband plaus the lottery based on the daily Clearing figures.
The gents who work the racket get a list of the men who play the lottery and drive the cars the day before, slip-hold them are usually at work. Usually the wife greets them at the door and, after first assuring themselves that the husband is out, the racketeers inform the woman the husband has won $500 in the lottery and they have brought the check. But first there is the agency fee of $20. Would she care to pay it now and receive the check? The answer is usually "yes" nine times out of ten, and in the tenth. "Certainly!" She pays and takes the check, which comes in very handy for lotting down telephone numbers.

Minstrel Memories
Harry J. Burris, one of the original members of Calender's Georgia Minstrels, who on other occasions has furnished this writer with some interesting poems, written from his interest at 640 Mosher Street, to tell that the warm weather has brought another touch of "minstrel fever."
The former showman says: "A lot of old days, the good old days that have been but never will be again, my mind runs back to the many happy days we boys used to have, singing our many quaint and sentimental songs to crowded houses, praising them." "We used to sing the old-time songs, one of which they ran like this:
I am getting old and feeble and I cannot work no more.
I have laid the heavy burdens
And ole master and ole missus are lying side by side.
And their spirits are now roaming with the blest.
Things have changed about the place: the colored folk have been.
And out cannot hear them singing in the lane.
For the only one that's left me is this little boy of mine.
In the little old log cabin in the lane.
"What happy days they were when Charles Calendar had us in tow. But he, too, has passed to the great beyond and most of all the old-timers are gone with us. We've left now, and we, too, will soon pass in our checks and the ampire will call us out."

"ZONKY"
The lean theatrical season that has visited itself upon theatre-goers for years is the "Royal ky," the stage offering at the Royal Theatre this week, stand all the more as a peculiarly entertaining vehicle.
Those of all there are the Careyettes, those well-matched bronzehed steppers, who by their precision, variety of costumes and routines have stamped themselves as the beer of the stage, and the captivating the boards of the seplen stage.
Charlie Ray, acting as a sort of master of ceremonies, introduces the characters in several skirts and props, including Gaston, John (Rareback) Mason and Jackie Mackle, all under cork, dispensing jovial absurdities, a church extended burlesque.
Dainty Alma Travils, dances and sings her way into the hearts of her audience, to good advantage with her in several numbers. Billie Wyle, the acrobatic miss, goes through a strenuous routine which brings her merited
But it remains for Red and Struggle, those two nondescript eccentric
dancers, to tie the show into knots, the boys having polished their unique perschisheria offering to a point there is a dance. Knaster, an instructor, elongated hooter and another youngster who answers to the strange cognomen of "Hinky" provided other dance entertainment in the form of tap and airplane hooing. Dance, without a doubt, is a comic par excellence, and DeGaston, with his odd chatter proves an abie partner in fun. The Carjettes, with a gay abandon to their dancing, yet never losing their perfect rhythm, bash assemble to play the Memorial City this season. The title of the show, "Zonky," means little for with the present aggregation it would be just as fragrant a theatrical rose by any other name.

Veron Nash. Is A remarkably beautiful dark-brown girl, the energetic, ambilious intelligent member of an otherwise worthless and indigent family that lives in
For all the six Nash children is the only one that amounts to anything and is to be somebody. Working as a maid for a rich white family, she sees around her all the good things of life and resolves to have them to be herself so good. Comfort and respect are the most possible of her life and possible for a management. She feels sure of her ability to rise above her lowly station. Her mother wants her to marry Dick Colvin, especially, uncultured laborer. She refuses him on several occasions.
Dick takes Verns to the movies one evening and on the way she proposes to her birth. She refuses him and, enraged, he forces her to her work.
Now Go On With the Story
CHAPTER II
The Dangerous Story.
When Verns came, her first thought was to be the same thing that she had. She had a face, her first thought was to be the same thing that she had.
How handsome he is." He was tall, brown, immediately dressed, unruffed, suave-apparently a gentlement thrilled German, with his lowerм down the glamour of chivalry and glance, to have a young knight bound out of the darkness to her issue.
Pardon me, young lady," he added, her in resonant voice, rubbing his bruised knuckles. "I hope I don't do anything you didn't want to do, and I just saw that fellow, and I am not to think enough to make it up."
Thanks so much, the girl,
improved softly, planning at the fell-
slip, the gleaned,
over the other side, the black eyes, opened wonderingly.
"Because I saw you the first night
I came in town, fell head over heels
in love with you, and just
hit me with his stiffening at his presumption
and hastened on. 'Now can't get angry.
I'm not going to get fresh. I just
want to take you home: just want
to know you and call you my friend.
"You see, Verna. I've been at over
a hundred times, and I like a girl to compare with you. Any man
would go mad about you at first sight,
really don't see how you do it
without any makeup. It must be a gift.
There was a ring of sincerity in
his voice and his eyes reflected it.
Verna hung her head coquettishly,
t was nice to hear such things said
about one's self when one had always
been told by one's mother that one
was absolutely nothing. How tellous
girls would be when she was
going company with Donald Baxter!
"Sure, you can drive me home."
he agreed resolutely. He might get
resh and want a kiss or two, she
hought, but—well, he was her ideal
Donald smiled broadly and led the way to the roadster. He helped her in, jumped in beside her, started the power'ul motor to roaring and switching on the lights, dashed down the road, the gears singing as they were shifted. Verna sank down in the sof, cushions that luxuriously infolded her and gave herself up to the enjoyment of this, her first ride in a real automobile.
Donald chuckled to himself as he drove. What a swell chicken, he murmured to himself, glancing sidewise at her. For a week now he had been watching her, hoping that some way would be found to strike up an acquaintance. The events of the evening had seemingly been made to order for him. Now, everything would be clear sailing. What simple little country girl could resist the blandishments of the famous Don Baxter bootlegger and gambler extraordinarily? He smiled sardonically and sent the speecometer up to sixty in his moment of exhilaration.
Don Makes Violent Love
By a roundabout way, they came to Goil Goat Lane. Don brought the car to a stop with a lurch and helped Verna out. The moon was hopelessly buried in a bank of coal. The girl started unseasonally. Don's steely grip closed around her wrist. She could feel the intensity of his gaze upon her and her heart beat quickened. Was she to have another escape one man only to be annoyed by another? She shrank protestingly. Don was quick to notice it and loosened his grip. For a moment he had forgotten himself, for Verna. "he said in a simulated hurt tone." "I'm not a roughneck, you know." "I'm not frightened," she laughed. He seemed so in earnest that she wanted to kiss him, but, of course, she didn't dare. "See you tomorrow," she said, and ran into the house. He looked after her hungry. Then he caught himself and smiled. What a fool he was. Losing grip now over him, she didn't have sense enough to come in out of the rain. And vet. It was so hard to resist her. What a

St.Joseph's Pure ASPIRIN
SYNOPSIS
When Verna looked into the inroider's face, her first thought was how handsome he is." He was tall, immaculately dressed, unruffled, suave—aparently a gentleman in thirteen years of the course of chivalry and romance, to have a young knight sound out of the darkness to her name.
"Pardon me, young lady," he addressed her in response, and smiled. "I hope I do anything you didn't want me. I just saw that fellow annoyed you and I was fresh enough to tolerate."
"Oh thanks so much," the girl managed quietly, glancing at the girl under her long, silken "It's all right."
"A groan, Dick Colvin set up his jaw and the back of his head, and looked bewildered at first, noticing the stranger for the first time, he lurched toward him.
"I set you, you . . ." he growled, stirring a mighty bait at the dapper intruder. The man stepped near me, his arm fished the air, he stumbled to one side and fell.
The Lumbering Ninny
"Look out, old fellow," said the stranger grinning. "you're liable to fall and hurt the other side of your wena chuckled at Dick's discomfort. He was such a lumbering ninnie and this other fellow was so slick and quick. It was like a rhinoceros cherring in the arm of his servant of dismay as he Dick's face working with rage, advancing with an open knife. Dick had a bad reputation with a knife. In the frequent Saturday ninnie that enlivened things nicely the other director. His acquaintances avoided controls with him when they knew he was armed with a blade. Now he moved toward the stranger double in a dangerous crook's blade. Dick "d—n you!" he growled. "I stop you from buttin' in where you ain't got no business." When he was almost upon the stranger, the man stared back at a woman and withdrew a shining auto-revolver. Twirling it on his face he stood nonchalant but at a grim, hard, cynical smile.
she slipped in his tracks, clicked her shut, shoved it in his hand and grinned sheepishly, well, grinned with a lone of finality, and groaning a baltec glance upon luna, turned and bleed hurriedly, and better git away from here, "Dick's liability to come here with his gain, He's a dad he is." Why was she saying that? She being attracted to this cancer? She looked at his clean-cut nunes, accentuated by the moonlight, her heart skipped a beat. Certainly he was handsome out there, but she was expressing of calculating hardness that warned her to be careful. After all, she might not be as safe with this man as she been with with him, and many. You could tell them about her.
"My name is Donald Baxter. He said quietly, ignoring her warning. Donald Baxter from Kalsbury. Just over to Norrishburg for a little while, she said, "I had no service to you. I always saw that a man has no business kissing a girl unless she wants him to do it. I all assures ought to be voluntary. I think. That's why I interfered when I saw you weren't approving of our marriage. He nixed him to be spoke! Just like the Richlands. And how well dressed he was. Look beyond him into the courtyard. She saw the outline of a man. walt ponder. I said, looking upon her wondrous brown skin. "Won't you let me drive you home?"

Vernal Counters Hands
who Makes Violent Love to Her. Can Resist His Persistent Attentions?
Trembling with excitement, Verma lay in bed the timing of the evening's happenings. To have a knight come to one's rescue: to speed over the boulevards in a powerful motor car; to be in the company of a gentleman of weakness, he was to force a girl to kiss him but was willing to respect her by bidding his time—what an adventure!
The next night, he called for Verma to go away to the beach back door just when she was surprised and pleasurably so, especially since she noticed Miss Anne Richland looking out of the back bedroom window. Verma tossed her head proudly and stepped into the roadster. It was every whit, as expensive as the Richland's car, and she was glad to let them see that as some white folk just as good things.
"Of course you are, Honey," he said.
"Are you comparing me with the other girls in this town?" she queried
"I thought you said I was in a class by myself?"
"I thought you said I was in a class by myself?"
"No, you haven't explained me, but you haven't explained things. I may be living in shack here in Norrisburg but I'm honest. Dr. and can I be would in the face."
Vernal, the Darcedev, he asked. He had a thought and insurrection. "I do not offer you a good job in my net in Norrisburg. All you'll be in the back, hostess, so you see you'll be making own thine and I won't both unless you permit me. If the fair proposition. I don't know when I see it."
Verma's eyes glistened. Her the real opportunity she is looking for, a chance to get
After that first evening, Don was a persistent suitor. Every night his wife would come to him. Every night he took her driving, to a dance, or to a moving picture. He spent money like water, according to the small town standards of Norrisburg, and that impressed the colored crowd. He also helped her else. He marvelled how Verna had captured him, and tried hard to fit with him themselves. They soon found it was useless, however, because she was too old. He often laughed softly to himself when he was alone and thought of the innocent-appearing part he was playing. He. Donald Baxter, the man with a score of sweetness, playing black youth it was indeed laughable. True, he liked Verna, and was willing to go to great lengths to win her affection, but he was not thinking of it. The same things were not very honorable. He was willing to be a good pal, but not a husband. Why should he marry, he often asked his friends, and tie himself down to one woman, when he would be able, he could have, just for the asking?
Verna Is Cynical
He was just here in Norrisburgh until things quieted down in Kalesbury, Prohibition officers and the upright operations for a while and he had come to this little town as a safe haven. With plenty of money, plenty of clothes, an expensive car, a lively band and a good time at all times, he could think of nothin' better than utilizing his vacation to play at love.
But as the days grew into weeks, charming Verna in the charming Verna's company, he began to really fall in love with her. "Verna, you know I'm getting wild about you," he said softly one evening in a stop under a huge oak tree a few miles from town. He took her petal-smooth brown hand and stroked it gently. "I love, Don," said Verna, half amused, "or is it just passion?" "It's love, Verna."
"How do I know you're telling the truth. All of you men say that," Verna said. "Oh No, oo-o? Well, there might be a difference in the way they work, but they're all looking for the same thing."
He sure too young to be so hard, poor.
"Well. I don't think so. You can't ever be too young to know what it's all about." "But Verna." "Don expostulated," "I'm real sincere. It would give me more pleasure than anything I would if you would let me be your friend."
"Aren't we already friends, Don?"
"Oh, you know what I mean!"
"Now Honey, don't be like that, I've been pretty nice to you, haven't I?"
"Do you want me to give you credit for that? I bought you were naturally polite."
"Of course I'm naturally polite, you only pretend to be a nice girl like allow a girl to give him a break when he's been real nice."
"Just what go you mean?"
Just when I
"Treat the secretary to go into details?"
"Well, you had to make your
self clear. I'm no mind reader, you
know."
Don "Stalled off"
Verna loved to match wits with men. It gave her a thrill to know that she could hold them at a distance. Let them come close. Let them touch. Let them feel that she could not afford to go too far with Donald Baxter. There was a certain something about her that warned her to be on her guard. Nevertheless she was able to live and the exalted position in the social scheme to which she aspired.

Contact with Don might help her to get those things, so she did not want to exasperate him too much.
Don was not far from being exasperated by the minute and vet, in spite of all he did to make her happy, she held him at arms' length.
"I'm getting sick of being stalled off" h: "crumbled. "Here I've been with you, we've been wrestled and you've been too singe to sing, so we have a kiss. How long do you think I would have to drive these other girls around before they would do me that little favor?".
"Are you comparing me with the other girls?" she queried archily. "I thought you said I was in a class by myself?".
"Of course you are. Honey," he hastened to assure her. "And I would like to compare." She waited for other girls, and just want you to know that I think you've been ungrateful."
Verna saw that she had probably confident that her beauty and charm would hold Don or any other man, she also knew, almost instinctively, that even the most ardent lovers threw the sponge if they are not ungrateful.
"Don't be silly, old pal." she cooed, placing her dainty brown hand on his shoulder. "If you know how much worry at all, I'm not as unaterestful as you think I am; but a girl's got to be careful, you know." Don brightened visibly. After all, please, "I'm not a稍稍 yellow." He leaned over now and touched her cheek lightly with his lips. She smiled couettishly and emboldened by her invitation, he crushed her. "Sweetheart," he said, hourly, "please let me take you out of all this. You have. no business slaving your life away in the white foxes." She nodded, "I don't think thing you want. Don't be a fool; let me help you." "Mavbe I might—some time," she said quietly, nesting a big blossom. Don will wait. "Don, I suppose you want to go back to Kalesburg with you. don't you?" "We-ell, yes." Don admitted. "We-ell, yes." Don me told how much you are going to give me and how good you're going to be to
me, but you haven't explained anything. I may be living in a dirtty town in burg but at least I'm honest. Don, and can look the world in the face."
Verna, the Dare-devil
"Who asked you not to be honest?" he blustered. He had a sudden thought and inspiration. "I'm going to offer you a good job in my case, and I will be able to is to act as hostess, wear fine clothes and be nice to the customers. So you see you'll be making your money and I won't bother you unless you permit me. If that isn't important, I don't know one when I see it."
Verna's eyes glistened. Here WAS the real opportunity she had been looking for: a chance to get out of the dirt and squalor of her house, and benefit her. She wanted so much to get ahead to amount to something, and here was a wav out. She felt confident that she could take care of herself. Besides she was convinced that Don was right. "I'll take you on that," she said firmly and simply.
"When?" he asked, with strangely minnized feeling of joy and triumph. "Will you go now? I will all of the things you need and you need to do, and you will all of the dollars that the Richlands owe, that's merely chicken feed. Tell me, will you go now?"
Verna hesitated and pondered. It was a dangerous step she was taking, and yet what hope was there for her girl—especially a colored one—amount to there? How could she ever have the pretty things she wanted to set off her beauty just by working as a maid or a cook? The old dare-dewlift that had distinguished her from the spirit now surged within her. She had nothing to lose, she felt, and a great dee to gain. Turning to Don, she announced smilingly, "All right, big boy. I'm game." Don could almost have showed with it, and there beside it, looking grim and determined, was Dick Colvin.

Baffling Murders
THE most entertaining moments can be spent in following clever, well constructed detective stories with plenty of suspense. They make the blood tingle as well as furnish the mind with delightful action in following the unexpected maneuvers of arch criminals: Grusome crimes and the most ingenious tricks provide the unusual thrills of "Baffling Murders." It will be genuine pleasure to read the clean-cut, non-chalent, true murder mysteries related by Hubert Holcomb, master detective.
This is an exclusive Illustrated Feature Section feature provided for your entertainment. Look forward each week to "Baffling Murders."
Spending my vacation at a place called Eagle Rest, in the Shenandoah Valley, I became acquainted with two, very interesting men, a feature written by the author, and a former Horton former for the Chicago Police Department. Naturally, since crime detection is much more interesting than the selling game, or feature writing, our conversations would always drift around.
He Mills and I began to meet on the north veranda evenings, a seldom used part of the little hotel, there to listen to Holcomb's versions of the Carlisle Murder Case, the Simmons Murder Case, the Mitchell Murder Case, the Collins Murder Case, and the Grithin Murder Case—all of which I shall in due time use columns. Briefly, the first part of Holcomb's experience in the Carlisles was thus: Ongoing morning, some years ago, Mrs. Jasper Carlisle, wealthy, about forty-five years old, the wife of one of the wealthiest Negroes in and about South Parkway at the time, called at headquarters and sought out the Missing Persons Bureau—where she suddenly broke into tense and stated that her husband had disappeared. He was last seen by their chauffeur when he put him on the sidewalk in the downstreet section about four o'clock, the preceding day. He was arrested. As a first step he decided to call on Mrs. Carlisle and arrived at her house apartment about two hours after her dismissal at headquarters.

LAS' INSTALMENT
After telling Miles and me about the body he had found sprawled on the floor, Holcomb had lapsed into a dramatic silence. But now he stirred, discarded his pipe, and plunged into the narration again I say "plunged" because I commenced to see . . .
Holcomb suddenly lifted his eyes from the lifeless body of the woman and swing around toward the door. He had become aware of a faint movement. Automatic in nand, he listened and was drawn toward what appeared to be a coat closet. As he neared it, the movement grew more distinct, and the door itself began to open slowly — then suddenly it swung entirely open!
Holcomb stoooped and frowned. A man — a little brown-skinned man — stood hard, with his hands caressing his forehead and terror in his hooded eyes.
"Who are you?" Holcomb spat the words.
The man seemed to suddenly jerk himself from out of a trance. Without uttering a word, he immediately passed the detective into the living room and fell heavily upon the woman's body, weeping and the floor maddly. "Do you dog?" he asked. "The dirty dog! Oh, Annie — Oh, Gom, Annie — if you'd only stayed away a little longer!"
And then he collapsed.
For a minute Holcomb just stood there and pitied the poor devil. He had to. He then started a series of questions — and it was one sorry story! Mr. Carlisle — and it was he — pulled himself to his feet, then half stumbled, half fell into a convenient chair, as wretched a figure as one would ever see. His hands covered his face; his body shimmed forward. "I'm the victim of the rottenen deal imaginable," he told Holcomb even convulsions, "— kidnapped all bedroom all night — and now this!" For a split second his eyes focused upon his wife. Holcomb waited in silence.
"I left my club about ten o'clock," he started afresh, "and was standing on Indiana Avenue waiting for a taxi" our chauffeur goes off around eight — when suddenly a car drew swiftly up and stopped directly in front of me. As quick as a flash, a tall man, his hat pulled low over his eyes, his hands stuffed into his overcoat pockets, got to the sidewalk and whispered griffly. You're covered, see? Get into the squawan 'I will drill you. Move!' "I got into the car to save my life. As soon as the door slammed, it shot through and at least three men proceeded to bind and gag me, cursing and threatening me all the while." "Where did they take you?" Holcomb questioned impatiently, "Which direction did they take?"
"I don't know," Carlisle said, "—I'll never know, because the dogs chloroformated me! The next thing I remember I was sitting in a poorly-furnished, ugly room, bound to a squeaky chair, with the three cut-throats pacing the floor in front of me, whispering among themselves, smoking cigarettes, and cutting at me with malicious glances. The brown-shinned men were, with the three faces of the underworld upon their faces."
The bereaved man's words suddenly ceased. His body dropped even further forward; his feet twitched nervously upon the carpet; his fingers stiffened and relaxed like a man tching for blood. Inaudible curses escaped his lips.
Holcomb compressed his lips; took to pacing and to fro. Carlisle suddenly sat up glared and glared at him, insanity in his eyes thundered, his voice. "Stuff!" he said. "I say so!" That's the way that dog bounded me — stand still!" And he neat heats his fists upon the arms of the chair, lurched forward again and roared.
The detective caressed his chin and frowned, yet his response was sympathetic enough. Mr. appreciate that he, Mr.篮篮, is standing frog, the man; "but
try, if you can, to let me have the rest of the story."
Carlisle remained silent for a minute, then went on ironically: "One of the dogs," he said, "— apparently the leader, made their position clear. They wanted money — lots on it — at least five thousand. When I refused, he cursed me, threatened, vowed to stuff my body into a gummy sack and toss it into the Lake. And I believe he would have.
Carlisle suddenly staggered to his feet and, avoiding the body on the floor, crossed the room to the massive library table. From a drawer he took something, then recrossed the room and handed it to Holcomb, who have gotten to it! "He said firmly.
It was a little Colt automatic. Holcomb examined it, then folded his arms. Carlisle sank dejectedly into the chair again. "That thing in your hand caused me to lie to them," he said. "I knew there was-gom' to blood spilled and I wanted an even chance to win." He then had them I had six thousand dollars in my apartment. I promised them this if they would spare my life. But I had my mind on the thing in your hands.
"There followed a silence in which the dog engaged in whispers. The blind at the one window was drawn, but I could tell it was getting late in the morning. I was wondering if they would swallow my bait. I wandered an hour. Then one of the cuttures produced cards. They were filled and then slapped on. They began to draw, one by one until the shortest one cursed and flung his card to the floor. It was the ace of spades.
"They had swallowed my bait. I was blindfolded, manhandled down four flights of stairs, a gun poked into my ribs, then hustled across the sidewalks and into a car, which lurched forward at once. My captor—the one who had drawn the ace of spades—pressed close to me and said, 'I y' think you're goin' t' put over anything smart you're as good as dead! I'll gut you sure...'"
"I promised to produce."
"When the boat stops you hop out an' go up the fire escape — get that?"
"An' if y' if anything crooked . . . he pressed the gun to my side. "The rest you can guess," Carlisle went or doggedly. "Things didn't work out as I thought. Things didn't work out as I thought when I let the slink and myself in the back door—for which I secretly thanked God. But it was not to last. We had only gained the living room entrance there when the elevator door outside clanged shut. It took only a second more for my wife to her key and lock which, when forced the behind the screen over, there, threatening instant death." Carlisle commenced to list forward again. "The rest," he said weakly. "I am too utterly wretched to tell in detail. My wife, discovered us somehow. Before we discovered us, he with that thing on the floor. I went blind with rage and dashed for the table. That's all I knew — except that something caught me on the chin."
Really, the Carlisle murder yarn was getting so good at this point that I could almost see Carlisle sitting there in the chair, with his wife, dead, sprawled on the floor before him, telling this sorry tale to the man who was now passing to us. Through the darkness we liles and I could see Holcomb present for his tobacco pouch. Presently a match frowned up and illuminated his face, and Miles glanced toward me in a oulef puzzle. There was a frown on Holcomb's face. And then, with the exception of the red glow that marked his pipes bowl, everything was semi-black again.
"It was the rawest case I had ever investigated." Holcomb declared, I called headquarters then took Carlisle down and assisted him into one of the bedrooms, where he fell heavily upon the bad, wretched beyond words apparently. He was
like a man upon his death bed — weak, speechless now.
"Expensively furnished, this chamber — massive managauy; a great four-poster bedstead, a chiffonier, and a huge dresser, its mirror extra large. Between it and the door leading into the hall I walked to and fro restlessly — a habit of mine, scratching the high spots of Carlisle's story on my pad. My chief would show up pretty soon, you see.
"And yet each time I passed by the foot of the bed my eyes were drawn to the wretched man sprawled across it. His face was buried in the linen, his fists clenched, his legs stiff, as if paralyzed . . . I pitied the poor devil."
Holcomb crossed his heavyslegs and hurled a question at us.
"Have either of you gentlemen," he asked, "ever bet on a horse and lost?
"Yes," I said: "but what has that to do with . . .?"
"So have I," Miles cut in "... and it's sure one funny feeling!" "Funny, eh? Well I'll go you one," Holcom countered. "On one of my trips toward Carlisle's mirror, I felt suddenly funnier; I felt — what do they call it? — fahbargergasted!"
"I'm telling you that when I happened to glance into the mirror above Carlisle's dresser, I had passed the foot of the bed, you see, and was about three feet from the dresser, with my back to Carlisle, when something within me suddenly stiffened, though I managed not to reveal my discovery by action, or gesture, even managed to make another trip to the door, and then approach the again — and my discovery was still there!"
"I saw one of Carlisle's eyes in the mirror; the reflection of an eye half hidden behind a wrinkle in the linen. Remember, Carlisle was lying upon his stole, and several feet lower than the bottom of the mirror, he must have seen too - hid his face altogether. As it was, he couldn't see higher than my knees!
"Now, it wasn't the kind of an eye one would expect to see the face of the murder and just witnessed the murder of his wife. Rather, and I became more and more convinced of this every time I approached the mirror, it was the eye of a crafty gambler who bets large sums, then, if the game drags, commences to tret over the outcome. In other words, I became convinced that something like the murder mind other than crooks and corvess.
"And that wasn't all. It seemed to me that the closer I got to the dresser the more fire, the more concern, the more amazement, the more unnessiness was reflected in that eye. As an experiment, I commenced to my steps carry me closer to the dresser, and an endeavor to blaze it and an endeavor to the law, gentlemen. it was my duty to follow up every clue; yet, I must admit that what followed was partly inspired by the personal equation. According to that half-hidden eye, I had been made an ass of, do you see; and now I wanted revenge, though, of course this was secondary in importance to my duty.
"Anyway, on one of my trips back toward the door; I decided to take a very, very long chance. A man who had the reputation to be careful, gentlemen. I But took the chance. At the door, with my revolver drawn, I jump around suddenly and quietly. I arrest you for the murder of your wife! I warn you that anything you may say will be used against you!"
"At first Carlisle didn't move; yet I sensed a sudden rigidness; something that hinted at fibre suddenly drawn taut. Then he scrambled up off the bed suddenly and almost screamed. 'You lie! You lie! You lie!' "But guilt was upon the man's face, gentlemen, and, keeping him covered, I repeated, Jasper. Carlisle. . . . arrest. you for the. . . . murder. of. . . . wife! "And so that marked the end of Carlisle. That night he spent in c. cell!"
. . . .
"Very extraordinary!" Miles exclaimed when Holcomb stopped talking; "but do you mean to imply that Carlisle actually planned the whole thing?"
"From A to Z," Holcomb said. "Why, at his trial — and also the coroner's inquest — it was brount out that he had been in his assets in all but one thousand dollars of it in a hole in the wall behind the heavy dresser."
"But the motive? I interrupted. "Along with the cash," Holcomb said, "we found two tickets in an envelope stamped for Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Whittier. These were later traced to the City Ticket Office — tickets for a through trip to New York on one of the fastest trains out of Chicago. That office was the office that Carlisle was the purchaser, and that he had also inquired about the Camard service out of New York for London."
"Another woman, eh?" — from Miles.
"Dunno," Holcomb said. "We couldn't blast it out of him. But the same day Carlisle was sentenced to the chair, Carlisle was in prison, and the papers tried to connect it with the case — but her family made it so hot that they had squash it!"
The three of us, Holcomb, Miles and I, got to our feet and stretched ourselves. "Some men, some women, some mused him, myself as we sauntered over the veranda toward the entrance, "go to the chair with a prayer upon their lips; some go limp, like a dish rag; some even smile and hum a cigarette — but Carlisle went like a blue cigarette. "Next time, give me a shall tell you about the official Murder Case."

June is in full swing again with its harvest of newlyweds, sweet girl graduates and conquering youths, that step forth annually during the month of roses.
We note also, that the camps are getting their grounds cleaned up, their singing and praying bands in line, evangelists booked and table committees planning, for the business of saving souls requires as much man-

Speaking of marriages, the number is larger than at any time during the wedding. The bride is heard of no bridal parties, very few receptions and still fewer honey-moons. Is marriage such a precausal proposition that the bride is afraid of being punished with a pomp or is she saving the funds for the proverbial rainy day, or is she just marrying in haste, and repenting as circumstances may necessitate? *
Graduations are becoming more and more elaborate and let us hope, significant. The smallest and redestest of the graduations are the laureate sermons, receptions, and all the trimmings that go with a commencement, even if it is from the seventh grade to the high school or in college. Perhaps parents will wake up to the fact that commencements require a beginning to a study of the job situation and then perhaps there will be a chance to work with the motto, "A job for every grad."
Camps, which have announced their openings are Mt. Calvary M.E. Church Frutland, which will open the fourth S:nday; Cross Roads Church at Vienna, Md., which will operate from June 29th to July 10th, Rev. Jose Angulo, pastor; Hicksburg, July 13 to July 20; Mt. Pisgah M.E. Church, at Melitola, Md., will begin Sunday, June 22.

Big Fight Card Snowflakes-Edwards Bout Heads Local Outdoor Card
Fight, Postponed Twice Because of Inclement Weather. Set for Friday.
Pete Lorenzo to Tackle Bobby Brown in 8-Rounder.
The long awaited card matching Billy Edwards, Washington scraper, and Oliver (Snowflakes) Wright in the 10-round final, twice postponed because of inclement weather, i.i.s. scheduled to materialize at Maryland Park, Friday night.
Both boxers should be in top form, having been through extended workouts in preparation for the battle. Edwards, known in some circles as El Kadir, is a boxer who is credited with having a terrific punch and has made a remarkable record, particularly in Pennsylvanian rings.
Snowflakes, who has been doing his training here, claims that he never felt better and is looking forward to adding another kayo to his already formidable string of knock-out.
Edwards has encountered some of the best talent in the middleweight division. He fought a draw with Tiger Thomas, of the New York, and the leading boys of the division. He knocked out Leo Duncan, a stabblemate of George Godfrey, in four rounds, and also brought the winning streak of Ricardo Alas, Spanish sensation, to an end, when he foreigner in less than four rounds.
**Griffin Fight Off**
Because of the illness of Battling Griffin, the Philadelphia battler, his semi-final bout with Young Harry Wills, local boy, has been postponed and an eight-rounder with Hayes the principal has been substituted.
Pela Lorenzo, who made a big hit here some time ago when he laced Johnny Latzo, is scheduled to trade punches with Bobby Brown, another principal, also being carded for eighth rounds.
Kid Dennis Moody and Baby Walcott, both local boys, who fought a slashing fight on short notice on the first outdoor card, with Moody getting the nod, are scheduled to meet again, this time in the opening bout.
Before the smallest crowd of the season, but nevertheless fighting as if their lives depended upon the outcome, Young Kid Norfolk, Baltimore Philadelphia battler, fought a draw at Maryland Park, Friday night.
Despite the decision, the majority of the fans were of the opinion that Norfolk had won, and had won designation in the opening rounds, but as the chucklers passed, the milling became more furious, with Norfolk beating the Philadelphia boy to the punch on the sixth round rolled around. Norfolk was making Reed's head and face a target for a bombardment right and left hooks, cutting the Philadelphia boy over the pitch and causing the claret to flow freely.
**Reed Groggy**
Reed was decidedly groggily in this frame and the timely sound of the bell saved him some embarrassment. He rallied sharply in the ninth but missed the ball, and injuries, made his punches less effective, while Norfolk waded in with a knockout in view, but the sturdy Reed would not be flattened and right back with a stirring display of orde
In the semi-windup Frank Goosby, stabmate of Baby Joe Gans, won his second decision from Billy Washington, the smiling Philadelphia player, eight times, two of which, however, were so listless that Referee Charlie Short threatened to stop the bout unless the fighters have a better account of themselves. Goosby, under fire furnished him with the victory again.
Alva Wins
Lew Aval of Philadelphia, scored a technical knockout over Jack Lowrie of New York, in the fourth round of a scheduled eight-round set. Lowrie, fighting injured, in hand, and in addition to his nervousness, handicapped him. While Aval won, he did not impress as a fighter. Iron Man Dillard, the East Baltimore dynamitter, was given the nod over Joe Cook, another local fighter. Both boys gave and took in such a manner as to keep the fans in an uproar throughout the bout.
Attorney Jack Farrell has an added attraction in a battle royal in which three Washington boys will oppose three local boys.
The Wakapas defeated the Baltimore Stars by a 9-5 score Sunday morning at Drudg Hill Park.

PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Four out of five games were won by the Homestead Grays in the series with the Brooklyn Royal Giants, Cannonball Redding, being the only member of the Easterners pitching staff who succeeded in breaking the Grays' winning streak which had reached 19 straight.
The Grays clubbed out an 8 to 1 victory in the first game of the series when "Smoky Joe" Williams limited the Giants to three scattered hits. Ross and Stanley staged a mound chul in the second tussle eight inings and Ross would have annexed the coveted prize in the regulation distance except for a wild peg by Catcher Ewing in the ninth, when the Giants pushed over the tying score.
Joe to Joe
Joe Williams was sent to his rescue with the bases loaded and pulled through the bad situation that ended in a base hit in the tenth inning that打破 the Grays on their way to a 3 to 2 victory. Oscar Charleston hit a terrific single through the box to send the winning touchdown. Joe received credit for the victory.
On Sunday at Sharon, Pa., Redding
checked the Grays 6 to 2, holding
them to five hits, the first time any
opposing pitcher has performed this
feat this season. The Grays scored
in the mound for the Grays in the
second tussle and baffled the Giants
the entire distance. Limiting them to
just one hit, turning in his finest
work of the season. The Grays scored
in the mound for the Giants. Leffy's fielding was a factor in his triumph, he throwing out five batters.

Defeat Freetown 16-9 But Drop Fourteen Inning Battle to All-Stars, 2-1
The Baltimore Red Sox, after winning from the Freetown A.C. nine Saturday by a 16 to 9 score, bowed on Sunday when Miller's All-Stars took them into camp to the tune of 12.
The Sox took an early lead in the first contest, scoring 11 runs in the first four innings to cinch the contest. Logan on the mound was in good form, and all four tallies, 11 safeties, he kept them far enough apart to be safe from danger.
The Sunday contest was a duel between Creek and Queen and there were no ties, the blows were not of the tally-in variety, many base runners being strained on the paths. Fourteen innings wee necessary to decide the game, the contest being deadlocked the fifth and remaining so until Biggs trapped across the pan with the extra marker.

Visitors Blow up in Fifth Inning of Second Tilt.
The colored House of David nine dropped two contests to the Bugle Coat and Apron Company nine, here Sunday, by 9-2 and 13-9 scores.
Walter Beali, ace moundsman for the Buglers, faced Ledy Stevens in the opener and let the visitors down with seven hits while his mates banged out thirteen bingles.
In the sixth inning, with the Buglers at bat with two and three on base, the catcher dropped the third strike of the batter, and evidently tagged him, making the third out. The batsman went toward his dugout and the Davids began in to the pitcher and suddenly runners on base raced home. Seeing the mates scoring, the runner who everyone thought was out, ran to first base and was safe. The umpire had not called the pallid play, since, in opinion the catcher had not tagged the batsman.
The second game was closer, but found Reitz the master of the Benton Harbor nine at all times. The Buglers rallied to score nine runs in the fifth inning and from then on found the going easy.

"George Will do the Kayoing"—Dougherty
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Poohpoohing the idea that Primo Cararner should kayo Godfrey in his bolt out of the Monday night, Jimmy Dougherty, manager of Big George, is reported as saying: "I can see no reason why a George—and make no mistake, he is a boxer—should stick out his chin and get tagged on it by that crude hook of Cararner's backward, key, chummy right of his." "Godfrey never was a one-punch knockerout in important battles, except on a few occurrences," the knockerout by a punch, and he has fought the best of 'em, including Sharkey, Risko, and Uzudun. Godfrey never was a one-punch knockerout in record books might show. That 11-round victory by Jack Renault in 1923 was fukely, the referee stopping the bout and awarding to Renault on a KO.
"I if were a betting man and there were no regulations against a manager of a fight betting, I would wager the next to the last cent I owned that Camara doesn't know. If there is my knocking out to be done, George will do it."

Ducks Win Two Firsts and Score Second Place.
The Orange and Blue of Armstrong High School, Washington, flashed to the front in another title-annexing event, Friday, when the district mermen captured the South Atlantic High School Conference annual swimming championships, held at the Hill Park, last week.
The victory proved conclusively the right of the victors to wear the aquatic laurels, the Technen having triumphed in two previous meets to run up sufficient points to dispel any semblance of a close race when the points for the three meets were negated.
Wallace Stars
Armstrong scored first places in four of seven events of the triangular competition, Dunbar High School, also of Washington, and Douglass High School being the only conference teams entered. Wallace, Armstrong ace, was the star of the meet, the 50- and 100-dash dashes and contributing nis skill to the two winning Armstrong relay teams.
Ducks Win Twice
Douglass won two first places, when Moses captured the novelty race and Champ Male won the fancy diving. An added attraction was furnished in the girls events, contested between the Douglass and Schloss 130 girls. The Douglass girl minced both of these events, while Riace Winning the back and A.

PHILADELPHIA. -- While a $250,000 gate has been predicted for the Godfrey-Carnera fight here, Monday night, George Godfrey will receive but $10,000, reports coming from the Leiper-villan's camp say.
Godfrey, however, says that he will be more than rewarded by a knockout victory over Bumo. Special seats in the Philies' ball park have already been reserved for Gene Tunney and Max Scheneling.
Summer Boxing Out Seems Unu
Johnson-Latzo, Godfrey-Carnera, Matches all Give Fighters Ch to Even Bigger T
By BILL GIBSON
The fistic outlook for the dark-skinned boxer looms brighter at this period than it has at any recent time in fistic history, if bouts scheduled for this summer are any criteria.
Larry Johnson's fight with Pete Latzo at Ebbets Field, Wednesday, pries off the lid for the Negro boxer, and with Larry in form, closer followers of the activities of the squared circle are looking for a reversal of the verdict handed down when Johnson and Latzo last went to bat.
Should either fighter score decisively enough, it is believed that he will be given a shot at the winner of the Rosenbloom-Slattery fuss which is to be held at Buffalo. Harry Smith is scheduled to meet Yale Okun in the semi-final to the Johnson-Latzo tussle.
George Says He'll Win
Monday night in Philadelphia, George Godfrey will be given a chance to decisively assert his static prowess when he meets Primo Carrera, the Ambiling Alp, in a scheduled ten-round battle at the Phillies' ball yard. Godfrey, who has already predicted that he will win by the time the third round rolls around, has assured his backers that the fight is to be on the up-and-up, and that there will be no "diving." Big George has been training religiously for the fray, and last Saturday worked nine rounds, flattening three sparring partners and putting in a strenuous session of shadow boxing and bag punching. Last winter this writer revealed an attempt to make Godfrey take a "dive" for Max Schmeling at Atlantic City, but George refused to sacrifice his reputation for the big financial bait offered.
Has Big Chance
Monday night, in view of the dry taste left in many fans' mouths following the Sharkey-Schmeling waltz in New York, Godfrey will be standing upon the threshold of opportunity, but biggie (the Liepervillan to demonstrate that he is not the big play boy that many would have you believe him

SUTTLES HIT HOMER
Lee and Oscar Stage Brilliant. Pitchers' Battle.
PHLADELPHIA—Close to a capacity crowd turned out Saturday to see Lloyd Thompson's Hilldale Club battle with the Baltimore Black Sox for eleven innings to a 4-4 stalemate. Although it was still light enough to proceed with the game it was called by agreement after the eleventh inning. The Darbytes broke into the scoring column in the first inning when Dallard walked, stole second and scored on a single to left by White.
Suffles Hits Homer
Suffolk Hall.
The Sox forged head in half of the quarter, timing when Suttles, their hard-hitting first baseman, hit for the circuit with one of his pals on base. The Sox added another tally in their half of the eighth. Hilldale tying the fracas in the ninth when White tripped with two pals on the bases, sending the game into extinction. The Black Sox led in their half of the eleventh inning, but Hilldale tied it up again in their half, when Mackey singled, scoring White, who was stationed on second. Both Sox pitched ten inning for Hilldale, and Cockrell, who finished the game for the Darbyts, pitched superb ball, letting the Sox down with six hits. Lee gave Hilldale nine hits but kept them well scattered.

Some of the so-called "wise money" is reported ready to lay 2-1 odds on Carrera as the favorite, but when this was mentioned to Godfrey, he just laughed that big broad laugh of his, and said: "Boy, I'd like to have some of that dough money." Already predictions dough money are sellout at the Baker City arena, where extra seats will allow 40,500 persons to see the fight.
Keen Gamblers Away
Great care has been exercised to keep gamblers from the Godfrey training quarters and the big fellow his handlers say, was never in better condition. He expects to scale down to 235 pounds by fight time.

Young Jack Thompson is keeping himself in condition by scheduling several non-title fights, and joy Joe Goss, the fire and fireman, according to Cherokee Thom Cox, his manager, who chatted a long while here with me last Friday, is returning to the battle front, bout at Newark, N.J., Friday night.
Chocolate Matched
Kid Chocolate, who had to cancel several fights because of injuries received in an automobile accident, is scheduled to meet Jackie Berg in a ten-round at the Polo Grounds on August 7. Tuesdays, because of the inability of the fighters' managers and Tom McArdle, matchmaker, to agree on the question of weight. It has been finally decided that Berg must tip the scales at not more than 134½ pounds on the night of the fight, and failing to do do to he, 45,000 forfeit which has been posted.

HearMeTalkin'toYa
WHAT is this thing called a heavyweight championship? Someone asks, and this columbo echoes the query, following the flasco between Jack Sharkey and Max Schmeling in the Yankee Stadium last Thursday night. The putrid something was certainly removed temporarily from Denmark to New York, if my nostrils don't deceive me.
Already there is talk of a return bout, the two boxers already having received the sum of $177,917 each for their demonstration, after a little less than four rounds of wating, and it gives that promoters, in good condition, a high of waging another match. It is right here that this nosy person wants to step in and greybeards that they aren't doing right by our George Godfrey if they pass up this opportunity to give him a shot at something worth while. It is hard to see how there could be any doubt in the mind of any fair-minded person as to whether or not Big Gawge deserves a break.
Schmeling, a rank outsider, comes to this country, and with a little ballyhoo receives a soft spot. Phil Scott and Dr. Carnera get the same jutty breaks, and while they line their pantalons with the coin of the realm, Godfrey is doled out about enough to get one square meal in an automat—and they call that fluid sauce. This tommy fight is the race question is all a lot of apple sauce. As far as the fighters can be proved that in nine cases out of ten they cannot care who their opponents are, that is, as far as color is concerned, and with all the counter-ballyhoo about Godfrey's inability to move himself about the ring, it would seem that they would have no fear of his ring prowess. It would seem, you notice, we say.
Regardless of any defeats that he may have suffered, Godfrey is far from being out of the heavyweight picture. Yet there are those who would prefer to see a native from any other country in the world win a world's title than see it won by an American Neo. That's the way things go in this "land of the free and the home of the brave."
Godfrey, who it is generally conceded, will cut down Primo Carnara to a smaller size at the Phillies' ball yard, come this Monday, deserves a break while he is able to take advantage of it. This thing of stalling has gone far enough, and he will again this department has lifted up its raucous voice in a plea for the big Lepervillian. And there have been times when we would pout
But, as the leading standard bearer of the sepian gentry, he needs the support now of every agency in the country to assure him of getting a shot at that title. The Hon. William McMahon might do well to lend an ear. His favor that is being asked, rather than automatically rests with the man who this pillar believes can knockell out of any Nordic who draws on a cloak.

make it. It has been said that some fighters would not sign for a card if they knew that the top price was less than three dollars. Be that as it may, there are fighters. I believe, who can act, action, who can be signed, who can be the fans crave and who can get that action, as you well know.
"names" do not always mean "A new financial arrangement in all probability will save the outdoor fight season. Certainly, the crowds couldn't be much worse.
The Black Sox returned from New York minus the victories that they went out to bag, strengthening the Lincoln Giants' claims to superiority. As I see it, the teams are rather evenly matched, judging by previous meetings this season, but outside of these two teams, there is little competition in the East.
outside there.
That is why, of a Sunday, crowds of two and three thousand line slopes of Druld Hill Park to see the afternoon contests. Admitting that the size of the crowds is due largely to the fact that the games are free, and that there are many who just happen to be in the park and stroll over to look on, out of mere curiosity, I believe that I am safe in saying that a team such as the Baltimore Senators have, has drawn more crowds and will draw more crowds than will go to Maryland Park this summer, unless the calibre of competition is changed.
And that, my hearties, is going to be a hard thing to do.
Douglass High School rooters disgust me with their utter disregard for the canons of sportsmanship. On other occasions I have voiced a protest against the reception accorded some of the visiting high school teams. Hopefully outclassed by the Armstrong swimmers. Friday, some of the Buck" participants, along with their supporters, made a sorry spectacle of themselves in an attempt to razz the Armstrong and Dunbar swimmers. It seems time that the locals were learning some of the laws of true sportsmanship.
Word coming from Chicago that Edgar Brown, dean of sepian tennis, is to retire this year, comes as a distinct surprise to many. The implication is that Brown will not compete in the nationals at Indianapolis in August because of the press of work. With the tournament closer to his home than ever, it is hoped that he will reconsider his decision (if he has made it) and at least defend the title which he holds.
A professional basketball team to represent Baltimore next season, with Lanky Jones, Pinky Clarke, Rap Wheatley and Slim Henderson as a nucleus, is being mentioned in local circles, the report having it that a well known group of sportsmen will finance the proposed venture.

men's singles champion of the A.T.A. and often called the "Grand Old Man of Tennis" according to reports from Chicago, will retire from the game, leaving the field open for younger blood. Press of work, and not age, is given as the reason for the withdrawal.
CLEVELAND, O.—Robert (Boh) Corom, who has worked around the ball park of the Cleveland Indians here, for more than forty years, has seen something like 3,000 ball games during his lifetime.
The 73-year-old gentleman, who has a kind word for everybody, is in charge of the exchange gate at League Park, having been given the job in 1909 by E. S. Barnard, now president of the American League.
Has Seen 3,000 Games
Has Seen 3,000 Games
Writing of Mr. Coron, Ed Bang,
whose book
white sports writer, says.
But 1909 up to the present, while covering a goodly portion of years, is only about one of the service Bob Coomar has seen at the present home of Indians. He "moved in" as an usher the very day the late Frank De Hass and Howard Robinson, former owners of the old Cleveland Spiders, opened their new ball park to the public. Bob remembers the day April 11, 1890, as though it were yesterday. And he has worked day in and day out through the 40 elapsed years that baseball has been on the program there except for eight days, which he missed at one stretch because of a slight attack of illness. So you can figure it out for yourself that Bob has seen something like 3,000 games in his time.
Would Buy Season 14
And Bob's love for baseball dates back even before that, for prior to becoming associated with the club as an employee, the was connected with the Excelzion Club as steward and always managed to buy a ticket for the season, which represented an outlay of $28. Tom Scanlon, well known in the wrestling game, years ago, always looked after the disposal of the "annuals" in the way back days.

PHILADELPHIA -Santopi's Broncos broke the 18-game winning streak of the South Orange tossers, white, and 14-0 in a defeat after a "offensive-lifting battle."
The game was a pitchers' battle between Carter and Sedgwick from the fifth inning until the fifteenth when the Broncos netted 10 hits and seven runs, driving Sedgwick from the mound, Kahn relieving him.

proaching fourscore years, and who came here from Sandusky, baseball isn't what it used to be. He doesn't mean that the game has deteriorated, but he misses the personal, or at least, close contact, of other years. In the old days, he says, the fans who were in the 50-cent seats were on familiar terms with all the home players and had speaking acquaintance with the visiting "firemen." Those were the days of wit and reparture the like of which has never been heard on a ball. The players simply because the customers are too far removed from the playing field the present-day immense and commodo amphitheaters.
In order to have a little chat with Charley Jamieson now it would require a loud speaker with an amplifier, while in those good old days the fans could almost whisper in Jess Burkett's ear. Bob got a great kick out of Jess, who was one of the fightingest ball players we got to dom spikes and who was lightning itself on the tongue altogether. He was a tough hombre, but bale fellow, well met, just the same.
"Let Other Fellow Talk"
But Bob has never neglected his work either with the ball park or in the wee small hours of the morning, so that he would be "free" to be at the game. He is now in his twenty-second year at the exchange gate in the main grandstand, these exchange tickets costing from 25 cents to 65 cents, and in all that time he has never been short a penny, although he handled thousands of dollars, and better still, he has never had an argument with
a single long ago to let the other fellow do the talking. Bob said, "If you are a good listener and have but little to say, you'll never have an argument." All of which sounds like good logic. In fact it has been so in Bob's case that in no sense of service at League park not a single patron has seen occasion to make a complaint against him.

HELPFUL HINTS
A wet umbrella should be closed and stood with the handle down. This prevents rusting of the point where the ribs join, and also prevents stretching of the cloth.
To Test Eggs
Place an egg in a pan of water. If fresh it will lie on its side. If a few days old it will tilt upwards. If stale it will stand on end. If very old, it will float.
A Convenient High Chair
If four rubber-tipped door stops are screwed into the legs of an ordinary chair, it makes an foot high chair for kitchen work, or for a small child.
Peeling Onions
Pour hot water over onions, allow them to remain for a few minutes, then drain and pour cold water over them. Then the skins can be removed easily.
Sewing Room Hint
Cut the strips containing buttons and buttonholes from discarded garments and use them under a fly in new garments. It saves time and
Ink Stains on Hands
A solution of peroxide of hydrogen containing a few drops of ammonia will remove ink stains from the hands.
When Too Much Salt
If food is too salty, place a wet cloth over the top of the vessel which is cooking. The steam will draw the salt into the cloth.
A Substitute Boilin
A Suspender
A smooth safety pin for thin or lacy material makes an excellent bodkin. The pin holds the material securely.
Face Wrinkles
Try binding the forhead with a linen bandage soaked in equal parts of alcohol and the white of an egg allowing the bandage to remain over night.
Jellied Corn Beef and Vegetable Salad
1 pint clear beef stock or boulillon. 1/4 tablespoons granulated gelatine. 3 tablespoons cold water. 1 tablespoon cokies. 1 cup mixed, mixed, cooked vegetables, salt and pepper to taste, mayonnaise or cooked cream dressing, lettuce, cress or romaine.
Pour the water over the gelatine, soak five minutes and add to the stock which should be boiling. Put in a cool place when beginning to congeal, stir in the corned beef and tables, mixed. Turn into a mould sparingly oiled with cooking oil and let stand a few hours to become stiff. Add a platter and garnish with the salad green and the mayonnaise to which two tablespoons of prepared horseradish may be added if desired.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, June 21, 1930
Save your AFRO Recipes from weel- to week and you'll have an easy way to keep your pes and helps that cannot be otherwise obtained.
Red vegetables are rare. Only three are found in the markets of this country. And the reddest and best known of these is the beet.
Cut off the leaves, but leave at least four inches of stem. Wash carefully with your hands, never use a brush, as this might break off the roots. Put them in the tea kettle carefully so as not to break the skins. Keep covered while boiling. Cook until tender, but no longer. Test for tenderness by removing a beet and pressing gently between the folds of a cloth. If the beet is soft, it is done. Do not prick with a fork to see if it is tender. This causes "bleeding" or a loss of red color in the cooking water.
These are still the "hows" of cooking beets. But why do we cook them this way?
This is the reason. The coloring matter in beets readily dissolves in water, giving it a deep red color. If acid is added to this colored water it becomes a bright red. If an alkali, such as baking soda is added the color becomes purple and then fades as increasing amounts of alkali are added.
Juice that is pressed out of a raw beet is a deep red color. This indicates that the juice is acid enough to maintain this color. In cooking we do not have to add extra acid to preserve the color. Neither do we have to provide for the escape of the volatile acid within the beet by cooking in an open kettle.
To get the best results we should cook beets in their skins, in a covered vessel. Enough water is needed for cooking to the proportion of one quart for each pound of beets. Have water boiling when the whole beets are added. Cook for 30 or 35 minutes or until tender.
Beets may also be cooked in a steamer or pressure cooker, as the acid given off in the cooking process really improves the color. Here we also preserve the flavor and nutrients. Beets should be cooked in the steamer 60 to 90 minutes, or in the pressure cooker, at 15 pounds pressure, 15 minutes for young beets—30 minutes for old beets.
Buttered beets, pickled beets, beet salad, and beet soup are all simple ways that we can serve this vegetable.
1 pound beef liver silced very thin, 8 medium onions, sliced, salt and pepper, 1/2 cup cooking oil.
Scald the liver, dry on a towel, remove the outer skin and membranes.
Fry the onions until soft and yellowed, in one-half cup cooking oil.
Remove the onions and melt hot; fry the onions on the side, then the other in the cooking oil, allowing about six minutes. Dust with salt and pepper and serve garnished with the onions.
French Fried Potatoes
116 pounds Irish potatoes, salt, cooking oil.
Scrape and pare the potatoes and cut lengthwise into long strips, about sixteen to a potato. Rinse, dry on a towel, put in a frying basket and fry in deep cooking oil hot enough to brown a bit of bread in a minute and a half. 325 degrees F. Drain on paper, dust with salt and serve.

By GERALDINE FOX
Frost on a window pane means that outside, the atmosphere is cold. It is a warning signal to prepare and take precaution against that cold.
Bolls, as they come on the human body, are also a warning. They tell you just as plainly as a red flag or as the frost on the window pane that something has gone wrong on the inside and that you should take steps to correct it.
Bolls come from impurities in the blood stream, and the only way to correct that is to clean out the blood. This is not as difficult sounds. Improper foods and lack of exercise or lack of physical cleanliness are some of the things that make for a dirty blood.
If you eat too much of rich pastries or too greasy foods, you are certain to accumulate more waste than can be removed off in the regular channels of elimination. This waste accumulates and eventually forms boils that show up and are the warning sign that you need to give yourself and your blood stream prompt attention.
This is an entirely easy matter. Simply stop eating. Instead of eating three meals a day, eat two and do not eat any more either one of the two meals than you ordinarily have been doing. Drink a great deal of orange juice and also about twice as much water as you have been drinking during the course of the day. This sort of treatment cleans out the blood from the inside and so takes away the poison that is coming through the boil. On the outside, apply a clay pack made by mixing a double handful of clay with just enough water to make a thick paste. Apply over the boil and around it and bind on with white bandage. If the boil is open, a skin has broken and the careful to put a small piece of gauze over the opening so that the dirt will not come in contact with the flesh.
COLOR CRAZE

That's the latest thing in dishes
colored table glassware. Society
women are using this now from first-
course dishes to those served last.
This glassware comes in many shades—topaz, amber, rose, green and azure, and may be used with all combinations of shade or in various combinations of color.
With colored glassware, comes colored linens, candles, fruits, flowers—everything is in color. Even the salads are taking unto themselves a great deal of color, and desserts are being prepared that glisten in red, green and even gold. The day of the holiday is with us. The date of white linen and simple white dishes, with or without a faint band or pattern, seems to be passing. Of course, one sees such vets, but more and more one comes across the colored glassware, colored linen, colored bath-rooms, colored vases, colored automobiles, oh, it seems that almost everything is running to color.
Most thing we know our men will be prancing down Main Street with red flannel trousers, a skyl-blue coat, and a necktie containing all the colors of the rainbow and a lot that the rainbow never thought of.

Mrs. Cora Horton, of Little Rock, Arkansas, is widely known in this section of the country as a fortune teller to the most refined class of people; but when approached on the matter and asked to tell something of her methods, she says:
"I am not a fortune teller. I do not advertise my profession and do not make any charge. Mine is a gift from God."
This woman has a modern home, beautifully furnished and lives in a fashionable neighborhood surrounded with all the comforts necessary which have come to her as gifts from friends.
Before she would consent to answer any questions about her business, she forced the interviewer to write the questions which she read. Then she said:
"God sent you here, therefore, I will tell you the things you want to know. I am a mental healer and I practice mind therapeutics. I have been giving my readings many years and I have intimate friends among all races. I have visited all sections of the United States and have comforted people from coast to coast. I am a religious enthusiast.
"Recently i have observed some unusual appearance of stars in the heavens and this indicates confusion. There is so much wickedness in the world that terrible disasters will come unless the power shemen. Everybody is seeing the almighty dollar."
At the point a woman came up who had lost $10 which she thought had been stolen by some roomers. She told Mrs. Horton she wanted to know whether her money was stolen, and Mrs. Horten said:
"I can not tell you who stole it, but I can tell you who you think stole it. You have two men roomers. One left the house by the back door, the other by the front door. The one you think stole the money left by the front door. You are probably right." It seems that Mrs. Horton was right. The visitor paid Mrs. Horton one dollar and left her presence satisfied. In a few minutes an enfeebled and aged colored woman came in, looking the picture of despair. She said:
"Honey, I'm distressed. I'm stick and the doctor's medicine fixes me worse. I know you can tell me what's the matter."
Mrs. Horton said:
"My dear, you are scared. You have enemies you think are dangerous. You fear they may kill you. Now, the first thing for you to do is to remove to some other part of the city among strangers."
"Yes," said the visitor. "I will go right home now and move."
Mrs. Horton then told the old woman that she must not eat heavy foods, but should choose a diet that could be easily digested. Some excuse in her age must not be overexert herself. The lady paid Mrs. Horton two dollars and left her house in a cheerful mood.
Among other things which Mrs. Horton said to the old lady were:
"Dear, these enemies you have may not be enemies. Didn't you get the impression that these folks did not

like you before you said anything to them?
"Yes," said the woman. "Well. Mrs. Horton went on to say, 'You see most of our hurtful enemies exist in our own minds. We are mentally sick. Go home, dear, and forget everything that hurts your feelings. Think of the things that give you pleasure.
"Work hard at the job you like to do. Don't visit anybody unless it someone that you like. Now you try my medicine for two weeks and come back."
The old woman came in bent over leaning on a stick. She left walking uprightly and had thrown her stick away.
Mrs. Horton said she had traveled with wealthy white families, not as a maid but as mental therapist. She said she has no prejudice on account of race but is happy to be a full-blooded, Negro. She is copper-colored, has large eyes that melt one

5,000 SCHOOLS ON ROSENWALD LIST
Virginia School at Greenbrier
Rounds Out 17 Years of
Philanthropist's Program.
$25,000,000 SPENT
Negroes Raised $4,000,000 of this Amount.
CHICAGO. — (ANP) — Five thousand Rosenwald schools have been built in the South it was announced Wednesday at the headquarters of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, coincident with the completion of the five thousandth, the Greenbrier School, near Hampton, Virginia.
Seventeen years ago, Julius Rosenwald, Chicago merchant, began helping Southern states and counties to build rural public schools for Negroes upon the suggestion of the Dr. Booker T. Washington. The first teacher frame building, in 1913 near Tuskegee, Alabama. It was a little, one-teacher frame building, costing $850, toward which Mr. Rosenwald gave $300, and Negroes gave in cash and labor an equal amount.
The program has been continued by the foundation established by Mr. Rosenwald, until today five thousand public schools have been built, with help from 800 counties in southern states.
Spent $25,000,000
The total expense of building these schools has been $25,000,000. Of this amount, the juvenile and adult schools have $4,000,000; Negroes themselves, in thousands of small contributions, have raised over $4,000,000; individual juvenile and adult schools have the remaining $16,000,000 has come from public funds of the counties and states. The entire amount of tax by tax funds as a part of the public school system.
Rosenwald Talks
When told that the five thousandth school has been completed, Mr. Ross
"Naturally, I am delighted. Seventeen years ago, I had no idea this work would grow and provide findings results. "These 5,000 schools are a fine evidence that the South is anxious to provide public schools to the North. Mr. Rosenwald added, "My own share in this work has been insignificant in comparison with the splendid achievement. Quite as important, I have better relations that have grown up between the races as they worked together in this common cause. My friends have shown a fine spirit both by individual contributions and by official leadership in the whole movement. The Negroes contributed resources, and the states and counties have voted public money for Negro education in amounts that would have been unbelievable even a
"America stands for opportunity for every man. I have been interested in Negro schools because they offer to a group that heretofore had much neglected education for opportunity for training in farming and useful trades. My interest in the Negro has always been because of the importance of the welfare of this group to the nation as a whole. I have been a privilege and a great joy to work with Southern officials and school authorities who have shown a constantly increasing desire to build up an adequately sized system for this race which comprises nearly third of the population of South."

Plans Miscarry
But the plans of the assassin must
have miscarried, for Peterson was
found clinging to the tree and he fisher
to attract some fishermen his cries.
Plerson in the Way
From the very beginning, detectives worked on the theory that someone had reason to want Pierson out of the way. It was found that he had audited and filed a National Publishing Board and that he was returning to Chicago with damaging information as to the financial affairs of the publishing plant. A loan of $62,000, his investigations found, and not and not a business-like manner. His report, to be made to the National Convention, condemned this jugling and it is believed that an effort was made to get him out of the way because he had read of this information it is said would have ruined Townsend.
Mysterious Calls
Several mysterious telephone calls were made for Pleerson and asked to leave. Moorehead "louisville." On reaching Louisville from Nashville, he was driven north toward Indianapolis, to Scottsburgh, Indiana, where he was forced to leave for Ohio and his body thrown into the Muscatatuck River. He was not dead when found, but died soon thereafter without making any contact. He had met fate, being unconscious.
Secretary Feared for Him
At Nashville, Alma Overton, secretary to the late E. D. Pierson, asked the sheriff, Gus Kiger, for armed protection, presumably fearing violence from the enemies of the slain auditor in Berry Skinner, detective, working out of the office of Attorney-General Richard Atkinson, guarded closely the office of the former auditor for several weeks following his death but abandoned when he was wounded; were wounded over to the wife on her visit, fc Nashville.
The secretary would not say whether she had been threatened but deceived in the office following the developments last Thursday night. Warrants charging murder await Dr. Townsend and Dr. Hunt, whom furnished the attorney-general's offices at Nashville. Three prominent Negroes, whose names were not learned, signed the $10,000 appearance bond for Dr. Townsend.
Ssteadfastly maintaining his innocence in the slaving, Townsend was arrested by the State's investigator last week. The evidence was held with being, a jujuriy from justice.
Officers declare that an impending "exposure" by the auditor of the jugging of a $62,000 loan was back of the slaving.
Made Visit
The altered gumman made a visit to the office of the attorney-general of Tennessee at Nashville and strong-armed an investigation made" in the death of Plerson.
Washington is the mysterious "Moorhead," who Nashville officers soaked up in the Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee.
Nashville officers say that his pretended interest in the case was an almost perfect ruse. The officers had made in the murder and what evidence, if any, they had against him.
The Pinkerton National Detective Agency, working with them where bits of evidence might be bled to solve the murder, was the motivating force behind the arrest of Towsend and the confession of Washington in Indiana.
When the "perfect ruse" was played in Nashville by Washington, alias Moorhead, he was charged with belonging to the dead auditor according to Miss Overtert. Plerson's former secretary.
Washington is held strictly incommunicado at the city prison under

The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly
Dining Car Employees Organize First Credit Union
LOS ANGELES. (CNS) The first credit union in the world to be organized and manned by Negroes, opened its doors here last week when the Dining Car Employees Credit Union announced through its secretary, Clarence Johnson, that it was open for business and ready to extend credit to its members. The union is chartered by the state of California. The credit union plan is a system of co-operative banking whereby the members purchase stock and in turn a granted the privilege of borrowing or investing funds in the organization
The plan was originated in Boston by Edward Fillene and has spread throughout the United States. Although Negroes have had the privilege of belonging to credit unions, this is their first attempt to organize one of their own. A unique feature of the present organization is that white railway stewards have asked to join it and some of them have been permitted to do so.

Luck Saves Man from Jail Twice
The godness of good luck evidently has bestowed her best ointment on the brow of James Coombs, baseball player, the man has escaped the mighty clutches of the law for what police call a double commitment at one time. Last week, Coombs was sargiled in the traffic court on six charges. At the hearing the man faced a sentence of one year in the House of Appeals, and the cop with fines amounting to $49. The arrest of the man was the outcome of an accident at Edmondson Avenue and 10th Street, where police who chased Coombs after the automobile crash found a small amount of liquor in the machine. He was dismissed of the serious traffic charges, Coombs was cited for a hearing in the Federal Court on charges of transporting alcoholic beverages. The second time in two weeks, luck was with the man. At the hearing before Commissioner Frank Supplie in the Federal Court, Wednes-

The Voice of Labor
Every Job Requires Specialists, Says Employer
"Specialize in your job, regardless of what that job is," is the advice of the Washington Avenue gives to employees who do general types of work. "Every job from dishwashing to the preparation of the most intricate dishes will be more readily filled by one who has worked out the easiest and most difficult tasks, such a task, than by one who can just manage to do the work in a slip-sodd manner," says Mrs. Sewell.
Mrs. Sewell specializes in catering to parties at which women are entertained, such as bridge parties, club meetings, etc., and in this work employs girls as waitresses, dishwashers and to help prepare the food.
Mrs. Sewell says that the employer saves money by employing an expert dishwasher at a slightly higher price, although almost any girl can wash dishes. He doesn't, without breakage, washing and drying them carefully so as to leave no streaks on them, knowing how to give the proper gloss to glass and sheen to silver, are some of the requirements she points out that girls seldom take the trouble to learn how to wash dishes daily in their homes.
Another difficulty she finds is in securing girls to properly serve a meal. Where regular forces are endured, girls need training, though this means a loss to the employer, and a trained girl is always given the preference in being employed. Yet small businesses, while not large enough to give an opportunity for girls to do part time work and those in school to earn pin money, she points out.
Personal Neatness
Personal neatness is also stressed by Mrs. Sewell. Cleanliness of clothes and person, smart uniforms and beware of the needles, are one of the requirements of her waitresses. Run down heels, wrinkled dresses, and nails in mourning are as much out of place in the service as a smart uniform, warm punch or melted ice, acceleraed to this caterness.

Director Francis M. Wood decided at the last minute to join the Hampton party after all, for the tour abroad. The trip would have to be the trip. Mrs. Wood is remaining at home with the children.

Pat to Pansy
Regina and Agnes Wright's Unique Bon Voyage Party.
Beth Saunders Entertains Emily. Society Gossip.
PANSY, DEAR:
There seems to be no ten up from the continuous rounds of formal entertainment. Next week promises to be just as crowded.
Their social calendar giving way to the graduates. Their social calendar crammed with junior-senior proms, outings, cruises down the bay, teas, receptions, dinner parties and the like. Really graduates nowadays are their training as prominent as debutants. They are making such a picture them as brides and grooms.
However, after next week this excitement will have subsided—then a mad rush for summer jobs, summer schools, ocean breezes, a quiet life in the city. Such is life, we are never satisfied.
Then, looking on the romantic side, gee wizard, the wedding engagements and marriages to be announced during July and August. But we all like surprises once in a while, you know.
The tennis fever, by the way, is raging right at this time, as well as the current state of the swimmers' pools at Dau Hill Park and Washington, D.C.
But back to the happenings of the week.
Bon Voyage Party.
Regina and Agnes Wright, Panys of 2131 McCullough Street, had at their home a lively pow-wow on last Saturday evening when the dearest little invitations, dearest gifts, one of the most delightful bon voyage parties that you have ever witnessed; honoring Marion Reid, Fannie White, Katherine Lane and Louise Wesley, who are to summer 2015 days and days amid the national counties. Flags of all nationalities hung around each chair, miniature streamers were floating in every direction. A sea voyage atmosphere was created by jolly congenial bunch added just another pleasant feature to the event.
Beth's Party.
Beth Lee Saunders, Pansy, gave a righteous luncheon for Emily Johnson Wharton on last Sunday, the day before. See, she and Emily have been chums since childhood, so it was a sort of farewell-to-do before Emily leaves to join Heber. She has been the delightful luncheon, the host presented each of her guests an American beauty rose as a moment of the occasion. Her other guests included Elizabeth Jardine, Chita McCard, Audrey Bury, Ehlel Jones, Dessara Thomas, Constance Murphy, Annie Smith, Romaine Jones and Nellie Bragg Sorrell. The luncheon they say, was just too bad.
Gossip.
Amid sunshine, a sprinkle of rain, a little of this and a little of that. Sadie Prince let nothing interfere with her vow to William A. Marshall for better or worse, and wrecked on Saturday evening at 6 o'clock at the parsonage of the Rev. George F. Bragg.
Her mother, William's mother and dad, and the Reuben Joneses seemingly were the only ones besieged. How久 did they graduate from Howard last week, is just waiting for school to close for his wifey dear to say farewell to the kiddies, then off they'll go for their extended honeymoon to —?
Glementine Murphy is wearing a cap and gown at the commencement exercises at the University of Penn this week. Who wouldn't be wearing a happy smile, comforted with the keepsake skinned with yards of ribbon in it a life's career, maybe.
Ethel Cummings Hodges had method in her madness. She preferred waiting for daddy Charles Hodges to baptize. So Hodges and friends were asked to the christening at Sharp Street Church at 6 o'clock, Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Ginn stood as god-persons. A small reception honoring the occasion followed.
There is a reason why Arthur Bragg will keep a job now. He and Clara Cormack will be falling in, decided at last to fight their battles together. They married out of the city on Monday.
Gee, Edgarsen Fessenon looked shatter at a bridge party given in her honor by Miss Emma E. Bright on Saturday. She, she was an honored

Citizens Think Negroes Should Spend their Money with Negroes
Inquiring Reporter Finds that Citizens Encourage Race Patronage.
(Reprint from last week's local edition)
Do you believe that it is the duty of every Negro to spend some money with Negro concerns or with white concerns which employ Negroes? Do you spend a part of your money with colored petrol?
An AYRO Inquiring Reporter found the most of the answers to the above questions were in the affirmative when asked of Baltimoreans, this week.
Would Help Future Generations John E. Payne, 1206 Drudl Hill Avenue, believes that we own the future generations to practice racial discrimination encouragement possible.
for old and young to find employment along business lines.
"I certainly spend a large amount of money with colored people, for I believe in encouraging them and sticking with them, which is the duty and obligation of every colored man and woman."
Not Because They're Colored Clark Frazier, of 2040 Drudl Hill Avenue, believes that we should spend our money with the concerns that are capable of supplying our needs:
"We should not patronize a business concern merely because it is operated by Negroes or white concerns because they employ Negroes," he said.
"By making proper demands of the Negro enterprises, we will induce them to perform ourselves so that they can efficiently serve the public."
"Yes, I patronize Negro concerns."
"When a colored man can sell me something for the same price that another would sell me, he would aicker it, aicker it, earn it," he said four years in Raleigh, N.C., he continued, "and never worked one day for a white man."
"Would Open Up Positions"
"It is my firm belief that colored man would Hill Avenue," that if more money were spent in Negro enterprises by Negro people, there would undoubtedly be a larger industrial and commercial sureture at present, suffer from finding few desirable positions.
"Whenever I can, I spend a part of my money with colored people."

"All of us," began Wilbur Harris, 2032 Madison Avenue, "are dependent upon each other."
"Of course, I believe that we ought to build up, as far as possible, race business, but the economic situation always enters into the question buying and selling and when returns are the same, we should recognize our own people. I spend a large portion of my money with colored people."
