College students at the Agricultural College at Damien struck Wednesday in order to force a closing of the institution. The strike is the outcome of the determined effort on the part of many leaders here to end the Russell regime which they say has saddled an expensive educational burden on the natives in the interest of a few highly paid American experts.

ORT au PRINCE, Haiti.—And down in a mail plane, she was flying to Cape Veron, Leo M. Favrot, white, field secretary of the General Education Board, and member of the Motor Hawaiian Commission, had a narrow escape, Tuesday. After four hours' search, the plane carrying Favrot and his pilot, was land on a long beach 50 miles out of the occupying baked for hours in the almost broiling sun. Carrier jets, in the plane and released, failed to return with messages as to the location of the plane. Others Return Safely Dr. G. Lake Imes, secretary to the commission, and W. A. Shields, photographer, who started out with Brewed, gave the trip to Cape Haitian and return in separate planes, without accident.
Crisis Imminent
That a crisis in Haitian affairs is threatened was made evident this week when an order of the Minister of Education closing the Agricultural College at Damien, the American-funded school now under investigation by the commission, was revoked by Acting President Roy. Dr. Moton was called to the palace for a two-hour conference Monday, following this, Colvin, head of the Rege: Grummont, charge d'laire and the commission were in conference until after midnight. On Tuesday, Dr. Mordecal Johnson and Dr. Moton were in conference at the palace again. The incident Roy is said to have demanded the closing of the Agricultural College, with its high salaried white experts in the interest of economy. This would have halted the payment of $4,000 in salaries of the Americans and a reduction of the taxes in the country and alcohol recommended by Forbes.
Hoover Cables "No."
President Herbert Hoover is sale to have cabled Roy that he could not change the status quo. The officer stretched the situation was further stretched by the request of the leading Haitian papers, officially advised Roy to stand firm for removal of the white experts for the closing of the school, or reform. The Courier Haitian, local news paper, posted a bulletin outside of the office, warning as traitors those persons who saw the occupation," Monday night, the incident occurred at a politi-

With CRIFR Prisoners Lead Easy Life in Haiti Jail
CAP HAITIEN, Haiti—Prisoners apparently lead a comfortable existence in Haitian jails. Some fifty, in sequestration by a soldier shouldering a gun, cleaned up the drill ground Tuesday. Instead of a lawn mower, the Haitian nation's weapon, the machine gun, Guards are just a matter of form, one prisoner said. As long as the jail furnishes a good place to run, there will not be no running away. Prisoners enjoy more liberty than those sentenced to jail at Westminster, where they wear blue or red striped suits, but frequently they move about unmolested all over the neighborhood, guards one returning to the prison for mails and sleep.

Port au Prince was in festival garb June 19. Houses were rented with blossoms and foliage; the cause, Corpus Christi day, a legal holiday in a Catholic country. A parade of thousands marched through the city streets led by the archbishop walking under a canopy. Tremendous crowds filled the cathedral for masses. Every male in Haiti wears a coat. A man in shirt wears are tolerated as slightly "cracked." Small boys wear jackets and keep them on in the school.

Haiti is about the size of Maryland, consists of two long peninsulas with a bay like the Gheasapeake between the capital nestles at the apex on a small plain, mountains rise from the plain on all sides. Fifteen miles from here is Kensoff, 4,200 feet up, where at night two blankets are needed.
Coffee grows wild. Natives pick bananas and pineapples from the trees. They grow sugar cane, and sea ice棉巾 which is of long fibre and takes three years to grow. Cotton experts as a finer breed than that produced in Egypt, Cocoanut palms grow everywhere.

MOSAICS QUIT BIRMINGHAM FOR LITTLE ROCK
Klansmen Cause Organization to Change Meeting Place.
CLERGY PROTEST
Governor Ignores Request for Protection.
(Washington Bureau of the AFRO)
WASHINGTON, D. C. Congressman Oscar DePriest, who recently defied the Ku Klux Klan when advised not to keep a speaking engagement in Alabama at a convention of the Mosaic Templars, has been notified by wire that the convention has been transferred from Birmingham to Little Rock, Arkansas, the national headquarters of the Mosaic order.
The telegram was sent by Scipio Jones, leader of the organization. The Congressman was scheduled to speak in the city auditorium on July 17. The hall had been secured but later the civic authorities rescinded "the permit."
Ku Klux Threat
More than 2,500 Klansman marched through the Negro section of Birmingham recently and burned in effigy an image of the Illinois Congressman and threatened the Congressman if he should go to Birmingham. But he was planning to make the trip to Birmingham when notified that the convention had been moved.
Deploring the "un-American attitude exhibited by certain Alabama citizens who burned the effigy of Representative Oscar Deprist and threatened him by telegraph," the Ministers Interdenominational Alliance, through its president, the Rev. R. W. Brooks, sent a wire to Governor Bibra Graves, of Alabama and to the Commissioners of Birmingham on Wednesday.
Ignores Wire
Governor Graves, who is reputed to be a Klansman, did not reply to the ministers' wires. The commissioners replied in a terse message. The resolution sent by the Alliance was: "The Ministers' Interdenominational Alliance of Washington and vicinity in executive session view with alarm the un-American attitude exhibited by certain citizens of the enquiry of Representative Oscar DePriest and the veiled threat, sent him by telegraph. "In the interest of Christian America and as loyal citizens, we are appealing to the American state to insure protection to Mr. DePriest as a loyal American, and also as a Congressman of the United States, since his mission to the state of his birth is a peaceful one. "We believe, therefore, your high sense of justice and your great desire to see the integrity and good name of your state upheld, will cause you to take whatever is necessary to insure this action." (Signed) R. W. BROOKS.
No More. No Less
The message received from the Birmingham commissioners read: Rev. R. W. Brooks: Your telegram received. Shoelace: Birmingham he will be given the same protection given any other citizen. No more, no less. J. M. JONES, Jr., President of Birmingham.
MONRO TO REPLACE RUSSELL IN HAITI
BY LOUISE R. LAUTIER
WASHINGTON. — Appointment of Dana G. Monro as United States minister to Haiti last week compiles with the sequent steps suggested by President Hoover's commission, which investigates the growing out of American occupation and submitted recommendations for the restoration of the government to the Haitian people.
The United States minister, whose nomination was confirmed by the Senate last Friday, will replace the former high commissioner, General John H. Russell, whose activities have been severely criticised by both Americans and Haitians.
Abolition of the office with commissioner, who is recommended by President Hoover's commission as one of the sequent steps which will ultimately lead to a withdrawal of the United States military forces from Haiti. The duties of the office, as well as those of diplomatic officers will be taken over by Mr. Mon-

Hueston Sworn in as
Assistant Solicitor
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Judge William C. Hueston, recently appointed assistant solicitor in the Post Office Department in Iowa, moved in the office of Postmaster-General Walt Brown. One of the biggest receptions ever given an appointee was tendered the Gary, Indiana, jurist. A delegate from the office and including other fraternal, political and religious leaders, met Judge Hueston at the station and escorted him to the lodge rooms of the Columbia Elks home and gave a guest of honor at a big reception. The new Assistant Solicitor will occupy a position never before held by a Negro. He has been a judge in the capital Court of Gary for several years. The office of commissioner of education of Elks was originated by him and involves an annual event for colleges and universities for Negro boys and girls. This office was opened here Tuesday at 930 U Street, nw. The judge was entertained at a banquet Tuesday night at the White House, the Past Exiled Rulers' Council of Elks.
Gets 30 Years on Murder Rap
LEXINGTON, N.C.-Lee Hargrave was sentenced to 30 years at hard labor on a charge of second degree murder for killing Lillie Belle Gilmore, a young married woman whom he slashed to death in a quarrel.
BY CARL MURPHY
PORT au PRINCE, Haiti.— One table was set for the official party of the American Educational Committee when it reached the local hotel Monday of last week, and a second smaller table for the four chaufeurs, but Haitian customs received a shock when the entire party ate at the same table.
Haitian upper classes and peasants do not ordinarily sit at meals together, and the chaufeurs as well as M. Herreux and M. Dejean, Haitian school officials accompanying the commission, were surprised when M. Colvin, white, who succeeded Dr. Freeman, white, the doctor of all American educational affairs on the declaration that the second table was not needed.
Dr. Mordecal Johnson acted as head of the commission in the place of Dr. R. R. Moton, who did not feel equal to the arduous 180 mile journey in alternating broiling sun and tropical rains over rough roads. On the surface, Haiti has no color line, but its caste prejudice is evident. Blacks outnumber malutatoes about ten to one. At least half of the presidents have been black men. In such high positions as minister of education, the blacks are commonplace. As one Haitian put it, Haiti has a histocracy of intelligence, wealth and culture, not one of color. He added, however, that a malutago girl will not marry a man of darker hue unless he has wealth or social position. Black men are more likely to marry malutago girls of poor families. The case of a rich black physician of Port au Prince who asked a would-be son-in-law what quinquies possessed him, is into such a prominent family is cited. The man silently pointed to his malutago skin.
The case of ex-Marine Serguei Perry, former palace guard who married a lawyer of former agent Borno, is also cited. U.S. school administration here (Service Technique), resigned from the Navy be-Continued on Page 3, Column 6.

"Future Belongs to Colored Race," Says John H. Holmes.
PROTEST JIM CROW
Segregation of Gold Star Mothers Flayed.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — "The complete emancipation of the Negro is as certain as dawn of a new day tomorrow," declared the Rev. John Haynes Holmes, pastor of the Community Church of New York, at a session of the national conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Sunday.
"The future belongs to the colored race," declared the speaker.
White Supremacy Passes
"White Supremacy Raises
The passing of the long supremacy of the white to the position of full equality and dignity with their fellows constitutes the outstanding world event of our age.
"America is now on top, just entering upon its period of power. But the trend of the centuries will not stop there. Already in Asia there appears signs of the future—and centered in India and the East. This means that the future belongs, not to the white man, but to the colored man."
Seven-Day Session
The 21st annual gathering of the N.A.A.C.P. began its seven-day session here. Wednesday. Protest against the segregation of mothers and brothers who are going to France this summer cropped out as one of the chief topics advocated. At least fifty of these mothers and widows are trained to make the trip, was stated.
Memorial to John Brown
A special memorial to John Brown, the abolitionist, who was at one time a wool merchant in that city, and the freedom of the slaves living here was one of the high lights of the convention.
Greetings from ex-President Calvin College and Vice-President Curtis were read at the Wednesday session. Walter White, acting secretary outlined the fight that was made against the Parker. "Negroes opposed Judge Parker," Mr. White declared, "and in doing so made a political demonstration which will undo the injustice." Because this North Carolina jurist had shown himself willing to deprive the Negro of his fundamental rights as a citizen was but one of the reasons he did that. That in itself was important, but it was infinitely more important because it was symbolic of a deep-rooted idealism which he rightfully not only of North, but of all minority groups.
"It would be fatal for the Negro to take a narrowly selfish and personal attitude on questioning the Constitution, it would also be unfortunate for him, whatever the temptations to do so, to fall into purely punitive action." Official statements were delivered by W. S. Youngman, lieutenant-governor of Massachusetts; Mayor Dwight R. Winter, of Springfield; Adrian L. Potter, for the chamber of commerce, and the Rev. William C. Fryer, for the citizens of Springfield.
Editor Villard Speaks
In an address on the political power of the Negro, Oswald G. Washington declared that there was hope for the Negro in neither the Republican nor Democratic parties. He urged that Negroes act as a political citizenship and political rights and suggested affiliation with the League for Political Action headed by Prof. John Dewey, of Columbia University. Tobias, international secretary of the Y.M.C.A. urged church and fraternal organizations to join in with the fight for rights for the Negro.

Townsend, Westbrook and Washington Face Murder Conspiracy Charge.
$10,000 MISSING
New Audits May Reveal Mysterious Discrepency.
SCOTTSBORO, ITD..Another chapter in the fast-moving Baptist scandal was written here Saturday when charges of murder against George Washington, alleged confessed gunman, Dr. A. M. Townsend and the Rev. B. J. F. Westbrook, were quashed and they were re-indicted on a charge of "conspiracy to commit murder."

Hunger Strike
Washington, who has been held without ball since his arrest, went on a hunger strike last week. Authorities believe that he was under the influence of an effort on his part to plead insanity. He now refuses to talk to anyone. Both Dr. Towsend and the Rev. Westbrook continue to manage through detectives declare that they have substantial evidence that all three of the men are directly connected with the National Baptist Convention auditor.

Among the elaborate plans which are being set for the impending trial are two new audits of the books of the Sunday School Board. One of the audits been made by a well known firm of white public accountants, while another has been made at the request of Dr. L.K. Williams, president of the National Baptist Convention. These audits are expected to reveal that the treasurer of a $75,000 loan made to the account of the Sunday School Board. It was believed that the audit of Pierson showed that only $62,000 of this loan ever reached the treasurer of the Sunday School Board, and that the $13,000 dissatisfied in commissions other

TEXAS OFFICER ROUTS MOB AT BEAUMONT
Saves Prisoner After Flight from Port Arthur Jail.
THREE GUARDED
Lynchers Foiled in Concord, Newbern, N.C.
BEAUMONT, Texas. — A stiff blow on the jaw sent a mob scurrying to safety, when Sheriff W. W. Covington, white, landed on the leader of 200 white men bent on lynching Rainey Williams, accused of assaulting eight women in the neighborhood of Port Arthur, Sunday.
The dispersal of the mob came as a second attempt to lynch Williams, and after officers had made a sensational escape with their prisoner, as the mob sought to take him from the little Port Arthur jail.
Slides Down Pole
Following a series of alleged assaults in the neighborhood of Port Arthur, Williams was arrested Wednesday night. According to police, he confessed to having attacked the various women after accosting them an' their escorts in automobiles parked in lonely sections. He struck a mob of 200 men gathered about the Port Arthur jail and demanded the prisoner. While the lynchers were preparing to carry out their intention of lynching Williams, the officers spirited him to the fireman's quarters and had him slide down a pole into a waiting automobile where he was hidden in the rumble seat. As the auto surged on towards Beaumont, the mob started in pursuit, and it was necessary for the officers to all but pulled Williams from his hiding place. Following a record run, the prisoner was landed in Beaumont jail.
Mob Follows
Frustrated in their first attempt, the mob followed the officers to Beaufort, prepared for them. Machine guns had been mounted at vantage points surrounding the jail and deputies had been armed with automatic rifles. As the sheriff stood in the door advising the mob to disperse, one of the men seized him with the intent to get Williams. At this point most stationed at windows threw tear bombs and the mob dispersed.
White Lawyer Jailed
While deputies of Williams, Monday, and the setting of his trial for Wednesday, R. J. Jernigan, white attorney, was jailed and fined for contempt of the law when he re-attempted to be Williams' attorney at the order of the court.
Guard Tire Others
Militia were called to guard two other men charged with assault this week. Robert Mattocks, 17, was spitred away from a jail in the little town of Bayboro, N.C., and carried to New York when a mob formed to kill him.
Mattocks was charged, by a white woman, with indecent exposure. Seven men, arrested in connection with an alleged assault upon a white girl, were removed from Cabarus, N.C. to Concord, where troops were stationed near the horror Gardner, to prevent a lynching. A mob of 600 gathered at the jail and demanded that the guards told them that he doubted the guilt of the men and that they were simply arrested on suspicion. Insistent upon that, the men stormed
Insistent upon wreaking mob violence on someone, the mob broke out windows, with bricks and other missiles, and the mob arrived at the ruins, the mob was dispersed.
Cleveland Pastor, Set Out of Parsonage, Beaten by Deacon
CLEVELAND, Ohio—The Rev. C. L. Thompson was forcefully ousted from the parsonage of the Cosmopolitan hotel, where he lived for five months without paying rent, and furniture was set in the street, last week.

IS ALLEN MAN
Senator is Credited with Putting Over Kansan.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Reports from reliable sources are that D. E. Henderson, a lawyer of Kansas City, Kansas, has been appointed an attorney in the Department of Justice and will assume his duties about July 15 in the bureau for the defense of claims against the government, in which Perry W. Howard, former special assistant to the Attorney General, served prior to his resignation a year ago.
Mr. Henderson was here last week and after conferences with Senator Henry J. Allen, Republican, of Kansas, and Mr. Howard, returned home to make preparations to come to Washington and enter upon his duties.
Senator Allen Gets Credit
Credit for the appointment goes to Senator Allen. Appointment of a colored lawyer in the Department of Justice had been under consideration ever since the resignation of Mr. Howard, but none had been agreed upon. Senator Allen is said to have gone to the White House and made the request of the President for the appointment of Henderson.
Senator Allen's term will expire March 3. He was appointed to fill the appointed term of Vice President Charles Curtis. He spoke in favor of and voted for confirmation of Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina, whose nomination to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court was recently rejected. By this ap-

Exhibits of Natives of Niger Region Show Early African Culture.
PROGRESS TRACED
History of Race Shown in Curious on Exhibition.
(Washington Bureau, of the AFRO)
WASHINGTON. — Native African implements of iron, brass and clay showing a highly developed aristic ability is one of the Jatest additions to the National Museum and is now being made ready for public exhibition.
The collection comes from Nigeria, the region which is now debated as being the home of the original Nebraska shores by the early slave traders.
The relics, which are highly prized by the Museum officials because of having no previous collection from the Nigeria regions, were presented by Roberts, wife, wealthy oil operator, to the Mass.
Skipped Bronze Age
There are many examples of the famous Benin brass work, which, explained H. W. Kreigef, curator, reveals that the natives did not lose the art by coming into contact with compass roses. The brass work is placed in that he "skipped" the bronze age and went from the copper to the iron stage, it was further explained. The use of brass was introduced by the Portuguese when they made early excavations of the Western African Coast. One of the most conspicuous objects is a brass model of a safari, a king traveling in state. The ruler is being carried through a canyon, accompanied by a retinue of attendants. The figures are about six inches in height. An attendant carries' the water bottles, another wards off insects with a fan, the sun's rays are taken off by a fan, and the attendant holds another. The relic is not over two feet in length and portrays a high degree of workmanship.
Signs of Slavery
Mohammedanism is the prevailing religion in the section and in the collection are several Moslem annotals with pages of the Koran inscribed
"The early slave trade contributes one article, a fetter. It is an iron bar about one iron inch length with two iron rings at each end, through the leers or the armor plates, and informs of the Africa is the home of the slave trade which is as old as civilization, related Mr. Kreiger. Grotesque ceremonial wooden masks representing animals and human turtles are also in the anemopsis ceremonies are also in the collection. At these periods men are supposed to change themselves into totem animals. The African native and the Alaskan native folk were also lore, it was both groups regarded certain animals as their protectors.
Show Culture
Among the objects of pottery in the collection are water jars, bowls, and a stove with grate, fire pans and ovens framed out of the same lump of clay
There is a hard wood carving of a tiger which has served some African as a seat. An elephant which required less skill is another seat.

Catholics, Local Government and U. S. Have Schools.
BY CARL MURPHY
PORT au PRINCE, Haiti.
Had the Moton Commission returned home after only one week here, it would have written a report very probably urging President Hoover to bring home his marines and educators in time to celebrate July 4 in the States.
As soon, however, as the commission concluded its hearings here and began its tour of outside schools, a different story began to unfold with such startling regularity that it was compelled to revise its first impressions.
It found three systems of education running side by side throughout the towns and rural areas with no unifying program. Catholic schools and teachers, subsidized by the government, are frequent in the same schools with the national schools, and in a country, 90 per cent rural, confine elementary education to the three Rs.
Separate from these and without any effort to make it a part of the present system, the United States has set up a complete system of agricultural and technical education, beginning with the elementary grades and ending with the training of teachers.
2 Pupils Present—Teacher Absent
The commission visited a national school at Vigne last week at nine o'clock. Schools are scheduled to begin at eight o'clock. Two tiny girls about six years of age were the only occupants of the building. They sat on a long, bare, wooden bench too high for their feet and surrounded the pages of a spelling book. The teacher was absent. From nearby families it was learned that the teacher was frequently absent. His pay is only $8 a month. This school had an enrollment of twenty-five and an average attendance of ten or fifteen.
The Empty Bottles
B. F. Hubert, a member of the commission, visited a Catholic school at Hinche, where 180 were enrolled and an average 80% were teachers. No pupils, however, were present on the day of the visit. The rooms were bare and dirty, the blackboard a few feet square, the priest unshaved and his cassock stained with grease spots, everything, and a vista into the nearby sleeping room of the holy father disclosed a score of empty bottles extending from his bed to the door and completely filling one corner.
Those were elementary schools, but the called Lycee at Port au Prince, the country's best, which has classes to correspond to our second year college, disclosed physics and chemical laboratories evidently long unattended with dunks. Of nine thermometers, seven were found out of order.
On the other hand, languages, mathematics, history and other formal subjects are so well taught that, the brightest students, with hard work, enter the senior class of the american colleges without examination.
In Cap Haltien
The same situation obtains at the fine Lyeau at Cap Haltien, 180 miles of irrigation, as well as in the appearance of pupils, the Cap Lyeau appears in advance of the school, as is equipped to teach the natural sciences.
U.S. Farm Schools
Uncle Sam, with characteristic efficiency, has devoted his educational efforts to the farm and mechanical problem. Seventy-five farm schools built with Haitian immigrants, the Rosenwald schools of the South. The agricultural college at Damien and the several industrial centers are in many cases the most costly and most spatially structured in their several towns.
Haiti needs Uncle Sam's educational aid. There is now no doubt of that, either in the minds of the commissioners or of the most intelligent Haitians. The most educational thinkers, the most pupils to think and to know, needs Uncle Sam's supplementary system of teaching how to do. Booker Washington called it "working the hands." The mistakes of the United States in Haiti are two in mind and they again this week with great frequency. They

Carefully Concealed Hiding Places Baffle Officers.

WASHINGTON—Liquor may be abundant in Washington and the wholly but officers have to search the "highways and hyways" before they can find a thirst quencher.
A raid by the vice squad Wednesday revealed that more than music can be gotten out of a piano. A visit to 1324 Fifth Street, nw., resulted in the release of 25 quarts of rum concealed in the interior of a piano after a search which nearly abandoned. Edward Butler, 30, was arrested on charges of sale, possession, and maintaining a nuisance.

Robert Jones, 34, was charged with sale and possession because of the Prince Georges County officers were plied for a while Wednesday when armed with a search warrant they and re-combing a building next door to the county jail of Upper Marlboro.
An officer's keen eye later discovered a concealed cache in the back of which he had set over a hole had been dug in the ground and walled in with wood. A wooded cover, over which soil and sod had been placed, had been set over the ground and scrutiny to detect. A hidden treasure of 56 half gallons of alleged liqueur were found, according to police reports.

That the naming of Dana G. Monroe, a white man, as minister to Haiti, does not meet the approval of all Haitians, is evident. A leading American political party has criticized politics and not Haitian prejudice prevents the naming of a black man.

To Leave July 7
Unless the threatened crisis prevents, the commission will either fly or sail back to Havana, its schedule, left for Port de Paix June 26, and returned to Gonaives the following day. After visiting Hinche on the 28th, and the Sergei to Port au Prince July 1, on July 2 the commission started South to Aux Cayes, where the last riot took place. It then returned to Port au Prince. It pleased with the trip by air, has recommended that the whole commission go by plane to Havana, spend the night in Havana, and then thence to Jacksonville by special train where it will split up.

Haitians retaliated by barring Americans from their best clubs just from their homes and clubs. Syrians are treated here as Jews in the United States. Natives claim that Syrians are steep businessmen, many from their homes and clubs. They are able to undersell Haitians. Some years ago, peeved Haitians banished all the Syrians from the island, and over to the United States, became naturalized and came back under the protection of the American flag.

(Washington Bureau of the AFRO)
WASHINGTON.— "Infant Care" is the title of a 127-page booklet which is issued by Uncle Sam who assumes the role of instructor in the art of raising children. The book is prepared in the Children's Bureau of the Department of Labor and contains many helpful hints and information which is more or less new to mothers. Take the question of character building for instance. The parents must learn that this is closely tied up with the way the child's physical needs are met. The child has no habits at birth. Habits are formed only by doing the standing over and over again. Immediately form habits, which if they are the right kind will be useful to him all his life.
Regularity from birth onward is of first importance. He should be taught that he is a part of a world bigger than that of his own desires.
Here are some of the things that a mother may expect her child to do at birth: he squirms and wriggles when handled, pulls up his legs, stretches them out, clenches his fists, puckers his face, and cries lustily. He sucks and swallows food and sleeps.
At four months he will be round and chubby, and will have nearly doubled his weight and grown 2½ to 3 inches in length. He kicks vigorously to the top of the wall. He begins to recognize his mother. He makes known his likes and dislikes by his facial expressions.
At eight months he can sit up without support. He probably will begin to creep. Most babies at eight months will utter various sounds such as "ma-ma-ma" and "da-da-da" but do not say words to which they attach any meaning. Many will have cut one or two teeth. Weaning will have been begun by this time.
Training in self-reliance should have been by the first year. He is entering the period of early childhood and should no longer be treated as a baby.
The second year is the beginning of the important pre-school years, when parents learn that Parents who look upon the little child as "too little to be taught" or "too young to understand" are piling up treasures for him as well as for them.
Clothing Should be Simple
The baby's clothing should be simple. In the hottest weather only the baby's clothing should be taken that the baby is not too warm. Garments should not have trimming that scratch the tender skin of the infant. Do not use force or hardness if the baby is to be bathed in the bath. If he objects, let him sit by the tub a day or so and play over the side of it with the water and soap and floating toys. When the baby is 6 to 18 months, when the baby's first twelve teeth are coming through, the baby is sick, a doctor should be consulted. The illness should not be attributed to teething until cold abscesses in the mouth have been ruled out by the doctor.
The baby should sleep by himself, and if possible in a room where he will not be disturbed. He should be made comfortable, fed, windows arranged and be left alone to go to school. He should not back every time he cries, nor even once, unless she thinks there is a real necessity.
Nursing the Baby is Safest
The mother who refuses to nurse her baby increases its chances of impaired health. Nature meant only that milk is different in composition from the mother's milk, and no process will make it the same to the baby.
During his first year, the child makes the greatest proportional growth than in all the subsequent years. At this period it is of utmost importance that the child be surrounded by all possible conditions for perfect health, the most important of the milk.
The mother's milk is practically free from disease germs: it contains certain elements which tend to immunize the child against disease. The mother is the most致病 diseases much oftener and more seriously than those nourished in the natural way.
A great many intellectual and moral attributes to imperfect nutrition.
Avoid Forming Crying Habit
One of the worst habits in child care is to allow children to form the idea that the best way to get anything he happens to want is to cry for it. This sort of thing makes a spooked, fussy baby—a housemate. Children who demand make a slave of his mother. The habit of sucking on a "pacifier" is to be discouraged. It spoils the natural development of the upper jaw to protrude. It keeps up a steady flow of saliva and causes unpleasant drooling. Pacifiers may possibly carry disease. Thumb or finger sucking has the same bad effects. The thumb or finger must be persistently removed from the child's mouth by the mother during attention devolved to something else.
Many more topics are contained in the book, such as: the sick baby, play, habit training and discipline, outdoor play. Ask your Congressman for a copy.

WHITE MAN WILL NOT HANG FOR KILLING GIRL
Louisiana Courts Run True to Form, Caucasian Slayer is Declared Insane.
WAS CONVICTED
First to be Convicted on First Degree Charge.
NOW ORLEANS, La.—(ANP)—History was made here several months ago when Charles Guerand, a white man, was convicted and sentenced to hang for the murder of Hattie McCray, a 14-year-old girl, but the filapter, "the hating" has been postponed through the declaration of the court that the white man is insane.
When Guerand was convicted and sentenced quite a sensation was created and much research was done to ascertain whether a white man had ever been executed for the murder of a Negro. At that time it was freely stated that Guerand would never hang, despite the fact that the press and a large number of citizens glorified the courts in their decision.
Goes to Hospital
Guerand's crime was one of the most cold-blooded murders and wanton killings ever perpetrated here. The girl was wounded in the head and was questioned he had made improper proposals to her. When she continued to repulse him he became angry and shot her to death. His arrests, was murder and the case was indeciding that he was guilty of murder in the first degree and merited the death sentence. This sentence, however, cannot be carried out, he must be sent to the East Louisiana Hospital for the Insane at Jackson, Louisiana.

YOUTH CONDEMNED TO DEATH, GETS LIFE
James Crawford Who Killed White Man, Gets Mercy in New Trial.

One Partner Given 20 Years
Third at Large.
(Washington Bureau of the AFRO)
WASHINGTON—Convicted of first degree murder, but permitted to plead guilty to second degree Thursday, Crawford was sentenced to serve life imprisonment by Justice Peyton Gordon for the slaying of Filbert Bitter, white, filling station operator on the night of November 29.
Crawford had been sentenced to death but his attorneys, A. Dobbin and John H. Wilson, secured a new trial. The court of Appeals ruled that the criminal court erred in admitting evidence that Crawford and three companions went into Maryland previoul to the tragedy on a hifacking trip.
One Still at Large
Crawford and his mates, Joseph Hardy, and Benjamin Branson, were indicted for the slaying of Bitner, a man accused of killing himself, pleaded guilty to a second degree charge and was recently given a twenty-year sentence for his part in the crime. Hardy has never been convicted.
On the night of the slaying the young men drove over the district line into Maryland to holdup some whiskey runners. After a long wait the police arrived at the city. Driving up to the station at Sixth and Rhode Island, they sought to purchase gasoline. In an argument the operator was killed, the police notified the shooting due to nonexistence.

D.C. WELFARE BOARD AGAINST EDUCATION
Would Rather Have Boys and Girls Support Family than Study.
CITIZENS IN PROBE
Supervisor Interrogated Special Committee.
WASHINGTON — Wards of the Board of Public Welfare who reach the age of 16 and stop school to go to work in order to contribute to the support of the family are of the best type that has come under the observation of the Board, according to a statement made by Mrs. Emma L Davies, white, supervisor of the Home Care Division, to a committee which interviewed her Saturday. Those who held the Davis were S. S. Brett, of the N.A.A.C.P. Thomas A Johnson, of Race Congress and Equal Rights League, and the Rev George W. Parker, of the Parent-Teacher Associations, and E. W. Baker, of the Washington Bureau of the AFRO-AMERICAN.
The committee had been informed that Mrs. Davis had advised Mrs. Emma Parson, of 1625 New Jersey Avenue, of having 18 years of age would have to stop school, so to work and contribute toward the support of the family.
Says Report Untrue
"That is an untruth," said Mrs. Davis. "I only advised that the boy should place a proper amount of money in the account of the maintenance of the family. The board has nothing to do with the education of boys and girls. Ninety-nine per cent of the boys and girls under his supervision when they reach the age of 16. The majority of the opportunity to contribute money toward the support of the family."
Mrs. Davis explained that the law required that the lawmen after they had reached the age of 16, when a reduction of apportionments was made.
The lad is now working and receives 5 per week which he gives to his mother.
Would Make Reduction
"We would make a reduction in the amount to the family according to law," said Mrs. Davis. Asked by Rev. Pafer whether or not he should allow a child at 16 to quit school and help the family, Mrs. Davis replied that it depended upon the person's ability. "The board does not ask that he quit school but insists that some one assume the responsibility of the child as soon as it is continued. A query by Mr. Johnson regarding the Board's attitude toward children who wished to continue their education after reaching the age of 16 is that many boys and girls welcome the opportunity to begin contributing to the family funds. The committee is not convinced that the proper business is being pursued of the board who wish to pursue their education after a certain age and if proposes to investigate the matter further.
Dr. I. Garland Penn is Seriously Ill
CINCINNATI, O. (ANP)—Dr. I. Garland Penn of the board of education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and one of its most widely known laymen, is seriously ill at his home when his wife passed on a few weeks ago. Dr. Penn who, as one of the secretaries of the Freedom's Aid Society, has been a potent figure in the educational work carried on by the M.E. school, has been particularly concerned with endowment developments for the various schools for Negroes located throughout the South. He is one of the oldest officials of the nation's organization of the church, and he was honored by the last quadrennial conference by his white associates.

Dr. DuBois Tells N.A.A.C.P. Conference that Liberal Movements are Allowed to be Blocked by Negro Problems
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — That grave discrepancies exist in the attitudes of liberals and radicals when the Negro problem is concerned, and that most liberals are "uneducated" when it comes to the Negro in America, and colored peoples throughout the world, was the assertion of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis magazine, who addressed the twenty-first annual conference here of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People last week.
to preserve their markets and nomic advantages, said Dr. Dr. who continued: "The victims of this situation black laborers and yellow" and brown laborers, in As in lands of the sea, are not as less in the internations at London and Geneva and, but the mass of the people of England, France, Germany and America do not the interest of colored people of enough importance is of enough importance is sidered when compared with white people.
Manifestly, in these circumstances navy and armies are united manifestly we have not to be before the problem of naval war.
"Most liberals are simply uneducated when it comes to the present Negro problem," declared Dr. Du Bois, "and a persistent course of education backed by facts, figures and explanations, has got to be entered upon in order to convince liberals and radicals that the Negro problems of the 20th Century are human problems, so intermingled and interconnected with other problems of human reform, that they simply cannot be neglected without ultimate disaster.
Pessimism as to Solution
"Even when the attention of social reformers is called to the presence of the Negro problem, the greatest difficulty immediately presents itself, and that is, the widespread pessimism regarding any possibility of solution. Again and again liberal-minded men coming face to face with this problem, throw up their hands and say by word or action:
"The question is simply unanswerable. We do not know and we cannot conceive how the Negroes of the world, less the Negroes of the world, are going to be encouraged into civilization. It is useless. Admitting, as many do admit, that no complete consideration may be given to the problems of democracy, education and crime so long as we do not regard the Negro element; nevertheless, there is nothing that we can do because the bringing in of any consideration of that element would make everything impossible."
"One can see in the history of various movements the influence of this idea. When women suffrage was about to become a national movement before the Civil War, its advocates were frightened to death lost in any way the question of the status of white women should be mixed up with the slavery question. They were not only willing but insistent that the problem of the uplift of women be considered without reference to black women. And yet, of course, the thing was eternally impossible.
"So today, one of the difficulties of making democracy effective in the United States and carrying out thorough-going radical reform, is the problem of the black vote, a problem of democracy simply refuse to face
Labor Leaders Face Dilemma
"Every thinking leader of the labor movement in white countries faces a challenge in raising the status and wage of black and brown and yellow labor, he must either cut his own wage and standard of living, or reduce the profits of the labor force so that he do either, and the result is that the Labor Government of England, the Socialist block of France, and the Communist block of Germany are unable to ascribe on a police in Africa, or Porto Rico that differs in essence from the opposing parties."
**Backward Backed Breed War**
International warfare and the failure of armaments to limit armaments were traced by Dr. Du Bols to the rivalry of European powers for opportunity to exploit backward races. Powerful backers of the war were ready to "direct murder" in order

"The victims of this situation, black laborers and yellow laborers and brown laborers, in Asia and lands of the sea, are not less in the international court at London and Geneva and London, but the mass of the Indian people of England, France, Germany, America do not care that the intolerance of the Indian is of enough importance to be sided when compared with the come and wealth and civilization of the manifoldly in these cities any great decrease or short navies and armies is unthinkable manifestly we have got to take before the problem of naval military disarmament and mobilization in general problems of social declared Dr. Du Bois, who said that the time had now come that the Indian must understand and radicals to understand and other must come to an end.
"The American Negro." he declared, "needs an intensive course of not only in schools but during the meaning of reform and of the part which Negrozens of the world must play in it." "Just as truly no man to be right to describe himself as a liberal who refuses to face the realities of life, who sits down before, etc., of greatest of world problems, to settle it by saying it can settled; who proposes to return world for the benefit of white people; who folks are not human in the sense that white people are humal." I know of no single line in the modern world and in life which promises more immeasurably gratifying result than a hour's race problem and the problem social reform."

Elmer A. Carter Tells N.A.A.C.P. Conference that Discrimination is Driving Colored People Together.

Carter, editor of Opportunity magazine, who addressed the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People here last week.
BOSTON UNDERTAKE "SHAKEDOWN" VICTIM
J. Bralton Wright Says Lawyers Obtained Large Sum of Money.
DISBARMENT SOUGHT
"The possibilities inherent in the race consciousness of twelve million Negroes are stunted for good and for evil," said Mr. Carter. "Economic pressure will be able to do in ten years what was impossible to do in five years, do in a half century. A black bloc, up to this time as undesirable as it was unattainable because of the eternal hope of the Negro for a better day, may now be in the process of formation." Mr. Carter attributed the formation of such a Negro economic bloc to the discriminatory prevalent against Ne- and said:
"Many things point to a growing racial consciousness on the part of black Americans: 1. the fierce and almost frantic urge which agitates the black world over: the right and opportunity of Negroes to work in those enterprises which derive all or a great part of their income from black folk, chain stores, retail establishments, and public utilities; 2. the desperate effort of the National Negro Business League to organize black entrepreneurs into co-operative purchase units; 3. the isolated but significant efforts of egro workers to organize such occupations as Pullman porters and such trades as the barbers despite the calloused indifference of the A.F. of W. America; 4. these things point to a growing racial consciousness on the part of black Americans. It is a racial consciousness nurtured not from within by the spiritual forces of an ambitious and hopeful and happy people, but induced from without by the pressure of the color line.
"It signifies the realization on the part of black America that up to this time their quest for economic freedom demands that the dreams which were fostered by the early abolitionists and early Negro leadership of entrance in the United States where trust and honesty and capability would be the open sesame to complete participation in the economic rewards of American life are

(Carroll News Service)
BOSTON, Mass.-J. Bratton Weight
prominent undertaker and clubman,
with offices at Tromont and Benton
Streets, is said to be one of the
victims of the accused lawyers, William J. Jatroon and Robert Goodman
(white) petitions for whose disablation were filed in the Suffolk Superior Court, laj. Tuesday.
The Boston Bar Association who seeking their disbarment, malpractices, and Goodman and Patron, have both other gross misconduct in their relations with their clients.
Suits for damages totaling over $25,000 was filed in te Civil Court last week against Goodman, by Mr Wright and his attorney James I Kenney, for an alleged false arrest.
Causeled Arrests
In the caused arrests, it alleged that Goodman, acting counsel for the Terminal Garage, obtained judgment against Mr. Wrixton and caused him to be arrested twice on civil process and had placed the caplas for a third arrest in the constable but did not act on it.
Wright, it is alleged, was released after each arrest after payments had been made by the judge of these happenings Goodman, it is said, was bailed before Judge Timothie Ahearn of the Roebury Court and fined $50 for contempt of court. It is claimed that Goodman did not return the capitals into court after each arrest as required by law. **Got Large Sums** In an interview with Mr. Wright he said that Goodman was as much as $25,000 in a comprese for the $25,000 suit. Patron believed to have had a large clientele among members of the race in Great Boston. It is said that many of them were victims of his alleged malpractice. Accounts have been broken down on more merious occasions for large sums of money by Goodman.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (1906)
What is the matter with the authorities? Can't keep down the white thugs in the city and burhurs? Are white women to carry revolvers in order to protect themselves from the lust of white men?
It is getting so that white women with escorts are not safe from assault in the public parks of
What is the matter with the police force? They're so busily engaged in looking up Negro toughs in Biddle alley or some other place that they cannot reach to the protection of the white people of this city.
Somebody ought to look after these things.

Free Thinking
Whatever else may be said of the Maryland Tree State, it sets a good example in its treatment of Communists. Last Sunday Communist delegates gathered here in Baltimore and nominated a state ticket headed by Samuel Parker, a Negro candidate for governor, a white woman for comptroller and white candidates for attorney-general and clerk if the Court of Appeals. Negro and white delegates discussed freely the problems of working men and women and remedies for unemployment and other matters.
Down in Alabama last week the Ku Klux Klan forced the Mosaic Templars to take a meeting if that organization scheduled for Birmingham in July 17, to Little Rock, Arkansas, because congressman Oscar DePriest was scheduled to speak. They distributed placards warning Communists that they would not stand for their social equality talk. In Up in Atlanta a white men and one Negro are facing possible death sentences for hollowing in which Negro individuals participated. In New York this week police killed a Negro and a white Communist in carrying out strongm methods against demonstrations by thisarty. If there is danger from Communism, it will come from cities where police use unwise and brutal methods and curb free speech. You cannot with safety block the trend of human progress, and what is radical today may be conservative tomorrow.
The fact that the Maryland Free State allows white and Negro Communists to meet and discuss any economic problems they wish, is condemning what can put into practice safeguards to human liberty should set forth erasing the shameful and insulting jimmy laws from her statute books.
Unfair Generalization
If you did not know from experience that even普莱斯 Josephite Catholic priest could have his mind colored to a distinct hue of racial prejudice, you would be astounded at the gross injustice if the generalities in a recently published book in "The Catholic Church and the American Negro," by the Rev. John T. Gillard, S.S.J. After reviewing the history of the Catholic church's Negro communicants in America, the severend Father Gillard arrives at the conclusion that there should be no Negro priesthood in America, by indulging in such remarks as, the child-like mentality of this infantile race," the average Negro lacks the stability and pernancy to make a plan for protected instruction worked out, nothing other authors say, "It may be taken for granted that all Negroes may be morally unaccountable." What makes it serious is the fact that this book, published by the St. Joseph Society, is graded as "the first accurate, official and national statistics on Negro Catholics in the United States."
One wonders what Father Gillard has been doing in these United States to have come into contact with only such Negro Catholic communities as to have drawn the conclusions set forth in his book? Only a one-sided mentality could have had any appreciable amount of contact with some Catholics this paper has known, to have seen only the darker side of the racial picture portrayed by Father Gillard's conclusions. The fact is, much material in the book itself would lead a rational mind, uncolored by racial prejudice, to different conclusions. If all while Catholics applied practically in their own lives half the religious capacity to the deeds of Jesus and the Virgin Mary as the devout, and if there was with them the same reaction to moral concepts, not only as sexuality but the every day business of human contacts and living, there would be no Negro problem with segregated churches and application of religion along racial lines.
Our Fourth of July
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Lest we forget, even amid this loud din of noise and celebrating, we call attention to the bove declaration of principles, laid down as the axis upon which America was to build a new civilization.
"It is not necessary to say that 154 years after this declaration was signed, we still fall far short of the objective for which these forefathers, including Crispus Attucks, waded through blood and gave their lives. In 1850, while we go through the presence of celebrating Fourth of July under the Declaration of Independence, millions of American citizens have more for which to fight and die than the colonists had in their revolt against British rule.
If you look at the map of the United States as you celebrate and listen to the bells of freedom ring this Fourth, you will observe that ten of these states deny the representatives of ten millions of Negroes to vote. A little further observation will show that in thirty-one states neither Negroes nor whites can follow any purity laws, and that in the marriage altar, and that in seventeen states children cannot be educated in schoolhouses which the taxes of their own fathers help to support.
In 1930 this government which began under the sacred declaration of guaranteeing to every man life and liberty, makes no serious move towards checking the lynching of human beings without the establishment of their guilt or in danger. Perhaps it would be best for most of us to hush the din and noise of celebration and oopen to wonder ways and means of making America safe the Declaration of Independence
Significant
The naming of Samuel Reber, Jr., white, secretary of legation and consul general at Monrovia, Liberia, and the probable appointment of George W. Lewis, white, to head the Liberian constabulary, a post once held by the late Colonel Charles Young, seems to the AFRO-AMERICAN to be highly significant as showing the policy of the present administration.
In the case of Reber, it might be argued that he is a career man, and that this is following the policy of the State Department in making the diplomatic seals of the professional. The same cannot be advanced as to filling the constabulary post, however, where there is an abundance of Negro army men.
There is no particular reason for objecting to a policy of sending a Negro diplomat to Liberia but for the policy, generally adhered to, of appointing Negroes to other importantomatic posts. But if the Negro diplomat is shut out of Liberia and other Negro republics, there will be no post where Negroes may develop as

Lewis, white, to head the Liberian constabulary, a post once held by the late Colonel Charles Young, seems to the AFRO-AMERICAN to be highly significant as showing the policy of the present administration.
In the case of Reber, it might be argued that he is a career man, and that this is but following the policy of the State Department in making the diplomatic service highly profiled as a same argument cannot be applied to filling the constabulary of Neero army men, however, where there is a need for Neero army men.
There is no particular reason for objecting to a policy of sending a Negro diplomat to Liberia but for the policy, generally adhered to, of appointing no Negroes to other important diplomatic posts. But if the Negro diplomat is shut out of Liberia and other Negro republics, there will be no post where Negroes may develop as career men.
The Hoover administration seems to be bent on a policy of freezing the Negro out of governmental jobs, and that is why such appointments as that of Lewis and Reber seem significant.

While bugle sound and clamoring bell
Commemorates nation's birth,
and tongues with rapture, tell
Of its inestimable worth,
Let it remembered be,
"Sweet, land of liberty."
Echoked by the triumphant throng
Should be more than a poet's song.
Let those who govern and control,
At shape of nation's destiny,
Make righteousness, their chiefest goal,
And justice, truth, and equity,
And to them be it known,
That righteousness, alone,
Can make a nation truly great
And save it from inglorious fate!
God of the nation, unto Thee,
For wisdom we would pray.
The path of righteousness to see,
And follow, day by day;
Drunken with wealth and power,
If we, in boastful hour,
in arrogance should Thee forget,

This Writer Has a Few More Words to Say to
Ralph Matthews Unless He Apologizes Quickly
Antenit Dawn Dance Opinion.
To the Editor:
A brilliant writer like Ralph Matthews should not be ludicrous in handling matters of such vast importance as the dawn dance, protested by the leading citizens of Baltimore. It shows a total disregard for all that is right and best. He begs the question to raise a race issue when the question was one of morality. He jettonsions the fact that a road house, or colored is no place for a high wandering class to hold a dawn dance.

It shows a total disregard of all that is right and best. He begs question to raise a race issue when the question was one of morality. In substance the objections were based on the fact that a road house, white or colored, is no place for a high school graduating class to old dawdah. He says, "I don't think much."

J. K. Darden, of Goldsboro, N.C., asks why colored Gold Star Mothers should sacrifice the trip to France because they cannot ride with white people. The answer is that this government, designed to be democratic, has no right to employ women to promote race differences among its citizens as the present administration is guilty of doing.
Mr. Darden points out that he is always pleased to remain among his own people, where he feels his presence is important. So I am in. Let me chloroform my good judgment and blind me to my constitutional rights. I have no more desire to be stuck up beside white people than has Mr. Darden. Experience and observation show that there is a place be gained morally from them. But I retest this opportunity and insane slur dislured out to Negro Gold Star Mothers.

If There is a Hell, Preachers B Reimigate Murders Will Occupy it, Says AFRO Reader.
To the Editor:
To hire a gunman to kill another is a pretty dirty trick for anyone to do, but when preachers stoop to such practices, it is beyond words to describe how dirty it is. The arrest of Dr. A. M. Townsend and the Rev. B. J. F. Westbrook in connection with the murder of E. D. Pierson, shows what kind of leadership the Negro is fol-
At such needs, the most hardened underworld character would hesitate, yet our most highly respected preachers commit them and then have the gall to tell persons not members of a church that they are members of a church. The most respected preachers will make up about ninety per cent of the occupants.

AFRO Reader Quotes White Journal on Recent Lynchings.
To the Editor:
This is what the New York Daily Mirror, white says of southern white peasants:
"When they tire of whitening, breeding or scratching their vermin hides, the American peasants who inhabit the small Southern towns, seek thrills by lynching a Negro.
"In Union S.C., the eighth victim of slavery, the year was buried. In order that the peasantry should not take grisly liberties with the corpse of the murdered Negro, the state was compelled to order a battalion of militia to accompany the body to its pauper's grave.
"In the example of the much vaunted 'southern chivalry,' preserve us from it."
The Amsterdam News published a photograph of a white man, William G. Skinner of Texas, leader in the lynching of Henry Argo. With him in the photograph were his wife and child, standing hound would not inhabit. And in the photograph, the slatterly wife of this greasy unkempt specimen tries her best to look pleasant for the photographer. United States citizen, says the Amsterdam News, "whose words are law in Texas and other parts of the South." An investigation of the lynching of Argo disclosed that he was accused by the woman because he repulsed an attack by Skinner's dog. He was severely defended himself from the white trash's dog. A fatal error indeed for a Negro in the "Chivarous South," where the unfounded, lying and spiteful accusations of any white hunch are enough to doom the city. Washington, D.C. FEDERAL WILLIAMS.

Alabama Was Not a "White, Man's State" When Alabama Was Coiled From There to Help Halt the German Army, and Should Not Be Now, Thinks This Writer.

The Washington Post made public a telegram received by the Honorable Oscar DePriest, representative from Illinois, acknowledging the fact (?) that the State of Alabama is a "white man's state," and that his presence was.

The Honorable Oscar DePriest was born of slave parents on a farm in a place known to us as Florence, Ala, which is within a stone's throw of the capital. He has risen from a poor who at one time worked on a farm to a representative of one of the richest states of the United States.
The Honorable Oscar DePriest was born of slave parents on a farm in a place known to us as Florence, Ala., AKA, the "Garden of the Slaves." He hirsen from a poor lad who at one time worked on a farm to a representative of one of the richest states of the United States. His image is nothing less than an insult in the face of the greatest nation on the globe. Especially is this true since white Americans so honor and respect the National Anthem, having in part such words as "land of the free and home of the people."
I consider it most unfortunate that Southerners did not realize that Alabama was a "white man's state" when Mr. Wilson urged Congress to declare war with Berlin because the German men to defend the colors. It was the Negro who displayed his ability in Flanders Fields. It was the Negro as well as any other nationality who shed his pride on foreign ground in the past. In April 1868—because the warship "Maline" was suddenly blown up in the Harbor of Havana. I might add further that the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, an organization fighting to the end of slavery and religion, and patriotic solidarity of all over who floats the Stars and Stripes, is apparently composed of unsurpulsive politicians and the common class of southern white men, banded together for the purpose of fighting to end slavery and wish to enjoy their Constitutional guarantee of religious liberty.
It is regretted that such a letter as this is necessary, but it seems as though the colored people must have Alabamians understand that they are not now as they were in the reconstruction days, but are citizens of this great republic, entitled to as the rights and privileges accorded to other real powers.

My friend answered that the former-occupants, because of the great expense of keeping such houses, had to either give them up or in cases where the homes had in fact been boarded up, I talked with a county official a few days ago, I learned that in many neighborhoods, residents seem to be getting along fine, when all of a sudden a couple of carpenters are seen approaching certain houses. Then along comes a little bit of lumber. A window is made into a door. A stairway is changed and closed in and a house is a private residence becomes an apartment house. He spoke of homes, that a few years past had cost $6,000 and that today could not be sold for $4,000. The bottom, according to him, had fallen out of the real estate business, and property could be bought for a son. If there was a house or a real estate will be like a hot biscuit, you can not eat it, and you can not hold it.

They were successful in getting away from what they termed undesirable citizens. They were also successful in getting into a lot of debt on them lose money.

The automobile has come to the place of the horse in the courtroom. You ago it used to take the ordinary man two to three hours to go to the store and back. Now he can make the round trip within thirty minutes. You can save two to two and a half hours by having a car.

A SIMPLE THOUGHT
The world moves rapidly; modern civilization is so complex and competitive that we hardly have time to think.
"LIPS~
Two lips I know love mine,
Two lips I know love pine,
Two lips I know says where,
When my two lips aren't there.
Two lips I know won't miss,
The chance my lips to kiss,
Two lips think me fair,
But ah, my lips don't care!
I know two lips I want.
My soul their (softness) haunts,
My heart their heat,
For those two lips are sweet,
But long has been the time.
Since those lips pressed mine;
And so I'm in despair.
And so I'm in despair.

Thus we have the end of James K.
Vardaman, Mississippi firebrand,
who passed away last week.
who pass
Vardman, like Tillman, Please and Helfin rise to political preferment by stamming their heels into the prostrate forms of already subdued Negroes in Southern states.
Speaking of Vardman the Raleigh (N.O.) Times, had the following to say:
Vardman, former Governor of and Senator from Mississippi, will he remembered for the caricature Southern sentiment he drew for the na-
Politically he operated in the old fashion of the worst times, when the Islamic State is the more harmless and abnormally simple than in Mississippi. He is more complacent, nearer to his old status of humility as a slave. Yet against his own self-esteem, kindness, Darla managed to keep the Negro alive as an on issue to march to pledge.
Such groups were not enough in his own state; when he persisted in carrying his hobby to a national forum such as the Senate; when he injected the violence of campaigns directed to ignorance into the eye of the country, he managed to construct for Mississippi a great humiliation.
Personally, as the demagogue is apt to do so, man was said to have a distinct attraction. Once off his oratorial feet, he was a human being who probably laughed at his own laughable pose, mental and physical.
He sported the type of hat the stage Colonel of the Old South uses in his make-up. We wrote his hair long, like a man. He came along too soon for a long thing pictures, but no man in public life ever had better camera sense. When it came to publicity, he knew the value of outrageous statement.
He elected to be pro-German and to the attempt in every way to impede the measures taken for American self-respect in relation to the world conflict. That proved his end, for Woodrow Wilson's case, to conduct a punitive expedition, and he had the aid of John Sharp Williams and others who held a truer concept of Mississippi.
Vardamen, in short, was just to be our mounte banks in politics. It is all of the help of the press and their opportunity of the House to appear to be passing in the South. The genius now seems to be recruited more and more the West.
Where there was a Vardaman from Mississippi, there was a Brooklyn and New York man, quieted to a zephyr, and the only bit of ripe fruit remaining from the South Ohio. Hein was in his oldition.
Outside of a few wild and women only political battle was fought more clearly than any major contest in fifty years. Personal politics is on the Negroes he tries to keep down, another one of the last of his clan passes from the American scene of action.
THOMAS F. RYAN, white, master financier and tobacco magnate, left an estate of $125,000,000, according to income tax reports made public Saturday.
Figuring it out, it seems that the late Mr. Ryan was able to support an expensive farm with various estates. Frequent trips abroad and entertaining. AND STILL SAVE ABOUT $6,412 each working day out of his income.
A goodly portion of Mr. Ryan's income came from tobacco industries in Virginia and the South. Negro and white workers in these industries make as low as $10 per week. That is why Mr. Ryan could save $6,412 daily. There won't be many more men like Mr. Ryan in this world.
MEMIT ALL, formerly an American Negro from Detroit, walked up to President Mustapha Kemel Pasha in Istanbul, Turkey, last Sunday, and asked permission to found a colony on the fertile shores of the Bosporus.
According to Memit Ali, there are 28,000 Negroes in the United States who would gladly go to Turkey where they will be free from prejudice.
There is no place in the world where any alien group would be prejudiced, especially if they do what Ali says the colony would do, build up a flourishing American town.
There is no harm, however, in any leader finding better living conditions for members of the group. The fact is, there are many more promising places in universe, where developed centers of America and Europe. FATHERS Jean de Breebuf and

Charles Léalement, Jesse mission from France to America to help settle this country, and who were killed by Iroquois Indians in 1649 in the Canadian wilds, were sainted last week by the Holy Catholic Church, the Pope officiating.
Catholics throughout the world will note the event with solemn ceremony, but nothing will be said about the thousands of Iroquois Indians who had to be killed and cleared out of Canada and the United States that white men could have their lands.
I am not sentimental about Indians with tomahawks, but somehow you just need to help feeling a bit of respect for even dumb brushes who try to defend their country.
INSTEAD of there being 2,290,558 unemployed men and women as reported by Secretary Lamont, the figure should be 6,600,000, according to Darwin J. Meserole, president of the National Unemployment League.
You cannot wonder at hard times for some when there are six millions of working men and women out of work in addition to the millions of men, women, boys, and girls, who do not work in normal times.
If these unemployed men and women consume 25 cents each in food and clothes daily, this means $1,650,000 which those who still produce, must provide to keep this army living.
When statesmanship rises to the place where it can consider the whole American industry as one family, it will learn how to distribute work and income as families do—to the best interest of all, instead of the best interest of the few.
Eugene Gordon, a young writing man of Boston, created a sensation last week with his article, "The Thirteenth Most Important Negroes the United States." The sensation was due to the fact that nobody thought he could find that many.
He overlooked many, however, who should have been included because of their contributions to the progress of the race. For instance, where would he be as President he would be Alphopus P. Seddon, written that old family standby, "One Hundred Ways to Dodge the Installment Collector?" Many would be living in squater today had a work of this great author taught them how to enjoy the comforts of life on the easy non-payment
It would also be a traversy on justice to overlook the sacrificial life of that militant leader, Dr. H. Scottfaw, who is untimely, unloving and against the consumption of bad liquor on the part of the poor Corn, peach brandy and boogie gwre natural enemies and used up up of prescription books putting decent drug store liquor in the hands of the common people before he caught a crime, now a term in Atlanta, a martyr to the cause of righteousness.

In the world of finance we cannot afford to overlook H. Skinne Smithpenny, grand worthy treasurer of the Most Worshipful Belovedenol Order of Hyenas, who has guided us through the orderly such diligence during his 40-year term that nobody knows where one penny of the funds of the organization is and he would have a hard time explaining himself.
While on the subject of finance, we cannot completely ignore Abraham Smearcase, whom we affectionately call "The father of the numbers rocket." It was Mr. Smearcase who interested the rank and file of the nation in the workings of Wall Street.
In investing a few pennies a day the working classes have had fortunes almost in their grasp, but of course never all the way. His famous slogan, "Make your dreams come true," gave rise to the flood of dreams such form how to interpret what number each dream stood for.
Right here we must mention Ezekiel W. Numbskull, the first Negro president of Ignorance University, who caused a new bickering rating the system that at the completion of four years' work the pupil would be kissed by the professor. It is estimated that 100,000 old maids applied for admission to the freshman class the first day. The educator again placed himself among the first ranks by being asked to be no studying during the football, basketball, track or baseball seasons, which last consecutively from September until June; and that the university had sent the students during the vacation period so they could back refreshed.
In political circles we look with revengery at the human Percy K. Halitouts, elected on the Democratic ticket from Georgia, who introduced a bill in Congress to reduce the mortality rate by making it unlawful for anybody to enter watermelon crayons.
The representative pointed out that many people ate into the fruit until it covered their ears and they consequently died from water on the ground.
He also sought to reduce accidents from falls on the streets by compelling people who eat bananas to devour skins and all.
Turning toward the field of religion, we find that eminent divine, the Rev. Peter R. Jackleck, who packed his mennomoth church every Sunday by announcing that he would hide dollar bills under the pews. He discontinued the practice, however, when so many people got hurt trying to get down from the moment the answer was announced.
He was the first to advocate that, instead of sending missionaries to Africa, we bring the heathens here where they would feel right at home.

PALESTINE (By Wire) — This whole population is very pickicken at waning power of a man by the name of Daniel who is still alive today after spending the night in a den of the most ferocious lions in the world.
He was thrown into the cage, because of his religious belief and it was expected that he would be instantly devoured. Yet this morning it was discovered that Daniel beats were completely subdued. Some go as far as to say that their jaws were locked. Representatives of several of the countries in the country are already in town and it is expected that a lively contract war will be waged before Daniel signs on the dotted line. It is also intimated that Daniel will probably spurn the highest offers to make a public appearance.
Week's Poem
By HELEN HAMILTON DUDLEY
There is a man who never drinks,
Nor smokes, nor chews, nor swears;
Who never gambles, never flirts
And shuns all sinful snakes.
He's paralyzed.
There is a man who never does
something that is not right;
His wife can tell just where he is,
At morning, noon, or night.
He's dead.
Africans Say:
"Africans have much in common with
us as wilt and wounds, expressed in
their language. It is time for us
to get away from the union that they
are in an inferior and barbaric state.
In more than one sense, no Americans
are more barbaric than we are,
than C. J. BENDER.
No monkey will make fun of an-other.
The Proofreader Talks
As stated in last week's talk the efforts put forth in the most of the schools to learn spelling by attempting to memorize the spelling of lists of words, yields poor results. Yet, strangely enough the spelling book persists, while the reader is more and more neglected, although reading, with careful attention to full, meticulous pronunciation, and insistence on thorough understanding of the word of what is being learned, is most logical way to learn spelling and "definitions," too.
I mention definitions, for in at least one public school attended by some of my grandchildren, lists of words (I don't know how selected) are, or were, assigned to be beaten up in the dictionary for meaning, that is just a bit more wasteful than it a bit more to learn spelling from lists.
It is said that a child three years old has a vocabulary of about five hundred words. How does he learn them? Clearly not by memorizing lists. Not only has he acquired the meaning of these words, but he has also learned to use them, less correctly to use them, he has acquired our grammar, the correctness of which will be dependent almost wholly on his association.
The words he has learned and the grammar, too, have grown out of his environment and his needs. He has learned the names of the objects and their purposes and actions that he has most contact with, and has need to know, and he is gradually adding to his store in the same way. Just so we should, and we actually do, learn spelling and other matters that keep us memory rattled on reason or insight. It is conceivable that we could learn to spell a few words whose meaning and use we did not know. But such learning would soon leave us. The teachers of foreign languages know full well that the meaning, the grammar, the idiom, and even the spelling is best learned by actual use and reiterated use. Few things, if any, do we "learn" once for all regardless of need and

A New Light
Today there is a new spirit among American Negroes which makes them say they are proud of their Negro heritage, writes Sarah Gertrude Millin, in the "Cape Times." But it is hard for a person to feel proud of something which has always been held to be a calamity. Perhaps, then, they are not really as proud as they are courageous. For a long time, I can't help thinking that the presence of so much white blood in the Negro people must make it difficult for them to lay claim to virtues and mental abilities. How can Negroes say the black people have done this or that when it is possible the white blood in them is responsible for this or that. Our Kafirs in South Africa can lay claim to certain qualities, inheritances, traditions, and no one deny them what they believe. All qualities are worth, for Kafirs are entirely Kafirs. American Negroes have never, of necessity, been entirely Negroes. How then can their ancestral credits be
I have also heard it said that the American Negroes have the blood of the white people; they have the blood of the gentlemen of the South. They may have the blood of the gentlemen of the South, but their scale of merit is that blood the best — the blood of men who shamelessly and irreverently encompassed the ruin of their own
I distrust those romancies about black throw-backs, blue half-moons and best white half-moons, but I trust that race is as effective as the Asiatics or as inventive as the Europans — as spiritual or intellectual as they are, as Kafirs, they have certain qualities; they have rhythm and colour, they have vigour and joy, good things to possess in a real world, and sufficient justification to people.
I know Negroes can live like white people. I have seen them do it ever-increasingly better than their white people. they live — quite like white people. But why should they not? Most of them are partly white, and they have a merit — except that of course in overcoming obstacles — in black people living like white people.

O. let me have
Sip from thy well
Hope's thirst to sate.
In tempest's hell.
For times of war
For times of peace
And find in thee
A glad release.
Emergies pent
Dost rally now
When the wretched head
Forming o. bow
In sacred poise
Midst thy blest calm
Serve every wound
Thy soothing balm.
On the altar
Put I my all
In spirit's song
To rise or fall
Mid thy circle
In death's vowent
Though death and hell
Their fury vent.
The People Have Been and Will Continue to be Interested in What Distinguished Persons Have to Say, Independent of Intrinsic Merit.
By KELLY MILLER
The press reports tell us that ex- President Coolidge will contribute a daily article, comprising from 100 to 200 words, to the New York Herald Tribune, which will in turn syndicate the contribution to a chain of papers in different parts of the country. Thus the taciturn Coolidge joins a goodly line of his presidential predecessors in the literary field. After Benjamin Harrison left the White House he contributed sundry articles to the Ladies Home Journal and other periodicals, recounting certain events he became aware of, including contributing and consulting editor of the Outlook. His weekly articles to its columns carried his views on public questions around the world. William Howard Taft became a regular contributor to a newspaper syndicate.
Woodrow Wilson was offered the editorship of the Beltimore Sun, which, it must be regretted that, owing to the condition of his health and other considerations, he refused to accept. His rare gift of style would have undoubtedly made him one of the great editors of our time. But it is not only distinguished Americans who transfer prominence gained in public life to journalistic account. David Lloyd George, just after the World War, became a regular contributor to certain English and American journals, in which he set forth his views on public questions for the consideration of the English speaking world.
The Platform Supplanted by the Newsman.
At one time the platform constituted the great forum whereupon the man of thought, ideas and opinions impressed himself upon the public. But the rise of the newspaper, and especially the radio, has robbed the platform of much of its former power and prestige. The radio has of late become a popular medium for disseminating news, ideas and opinions. However, the air is chiefly used to convey information in a rigorous phase of public instruction is relegated to other agencies.
The American people have acquired the journalistic mind. They want news and brief comment on its meaning and significance. This they crave with diurnal frequency. The week is about the longest interval which allows the magazine to hold a portion of the monthly magazine carrying serious thought contributions has almost wholly given way to the columnist in the daily or weekly paper. The surviving magazines with their millions of circulations are merely devoted to some special field, like the Ladies Home Journal.
Not What Is Said But Who Saw It.
Nobody cares very much about what Mr. Coolidge says, but it is the idea that it is he who says it that appeals to the populace. The same words put into the mouth of an ordinary scribe would fall flat under their own dull weight. But somehow or other, commonplace words put into the mouth of a person of distinction carries great weight. The public is not so much concerned in what is said as in him who says it. Whatever the President or ex-President says is eagerly devoured by millions of anxious readers. After a man has ideas, opinions even notions, he is bound to publish them to the world and to give them the greatest currency which he is to impart. Whenever a thought is born in the brain it is sent forth with the injunction: "Go ye unto all the world." The medium used is only a matter of judgment and convenience. It may be a book, a speech, a magazine article, a radio message or a newspaper contribution.
K.M. is Following
Now, coming down to even me. Many of my friends greatly pitied me when I began to make weekly contributions to the columns of the colored press. One of my distinguished friendly critics ridiculed the idea of a college professor condescending to write for colored newspapers. It was, he alleged, against the dignity of the position.
When I gently reminded him that I was following distinguished precedent, including President Taft, President Roosevelt, Lloyd George, President Glenn Frank of the University of Wisconsin, and Albert Bushnell Hart of Harvard, he conceded that it was all well enough for them, because they were writing for white people.
I failed then and fall now to see the difference. My syndicated writings fall under the eyes of a half million readers each week. If only one out of ten reads them, I still feel that it is well worth while to reach fifty thousand of people who are interested in what I have to say, even if they be for the most part, Negroes.

NEW YORK—With three regular organization candidates in the field and four insurgents, the contest for two municipal court justice positions in the newly-created tenth district here has developed into one of the hottest primary fights Harlem hrs. ever seen.
The Republican organization leaders have named assemblyman Francis E. Rivers of the 19th assembly district and alderman John C. Hawkins of the 21st district as the organization candidates.
Democrat Not Designated
The Democratic organization has not yet fully decided on its candidate although it is learned from sources that assistant governor counsel James Cates and Charles E Toney have the approval of Ferdinand A. Horn for the place. The new ten municipal court district was created especially to permit the election of two Negroes. It was one of the municipal made by Republican leaders to halt the dominance of Tammany among Negro
Four Insurgents
At least four insurgents have indicated their determination to make contests for the places. They are former assemblyman Pope Benedict XVI, former assemblyman Pope, Joseph Assemblay, Perkins and Abraham Rockstone, the latter white. Whatever else happens, it is expected that the two $12,000 plums will be landed by Negroes. Hawkins was recommended Friday night at a meeting of the Appointment Court, however, who slid into office last November as an independent candidate, declares that he will be in the money on primary day.
NEW YORK. (ANP.) — According to Edward F. Corsi, director of the census for the 23rd Census District, the returns which he has ready for return to Washington, will show interesting facts for those so inclined and food for analytical study for sociology, economics, and political students.
Among the interesting things revealed was the increase in the number of inter-racial marriages, they being far more prevalent in this case than in any previous enumeration barriers that hitherto have imposed and the breaking down of relations to the way of many weddings between members of varying faiths.
This is particularly true in the case of Jewish men and women who are marrying out of their faith.

NEW YORK.-The New York Colonization Society took steps in the Supreme Court to spend $82,267 of its future income to aid Liberia in education and sanitation here, Tuesday. The society was organized in 1855 to colonize people of color of the United States: on the coast of Africa, and through them civilize the African tribes, and has an endowment of $63,000 received in wills more than seventy-five years ago. The application to the Supreme Court seeks permission to divert the income from the purpose for which the funds were originally intended.
While there are 200,000 persons of school age in Liberia, a report of 1926 shows that there were only 164 schools, 322 teachers with $33,000 spent on public education. The expenditures of missionary societies for education has been between $150,000 and $200,000 a year. The organization seeks to make appropriations to the advisory committee on education. Seven thousand dollars has been given by the society for the aid of education and $2,500 has been voted towards a fund of $15,000 for the work of a sanitary engineer to be sent by the United States government to improve conditions in Liberia.

Afro Radio Hints
TESTING AN AUDIO TRANSFORMER
An ordinary pair of headphones and a C battery can be used to test an audio transformer. Connect one phone tip to a terminal of the C battery. Then run a wire from the other battery terminal to one primary terminal of the transformer and touch the other phone tip to the other primary terminal of the transformer. If a good snappy click is heard when contact is made, and another when it is broken, the primary winding of the transformer may be considered as being unbroken. But if the click is extremely faint or inaudible during such a test, the winding is broken at some point. The secondary winding can be tested in the same way.

The Actors in "Hallelujah" Didn't Get Enormous Salaries
"Inside" Story on Filming of All-Negro Picture, Reveals Many Things. Vidor's Use of Word "Nigger" in Original Script. Among Obejectionable Features.
By EVA JESSYE
EDITOR'S NOTE—The writer of this series of illuminating article was formerly a member of the editorial staff of the AFRO-AMERICA journal.
During the making of "Hallelujah," the all-Negropeic, many reports were afloat concerning objectionable phrases in the script, the salaries paid to the actors and the treatment accorded to them. Also the change in leading ladies caused quite a sensation and there was a suggestion of unfairness in the starring of Nina Mae McKinney instead of Honey Brown, King Vidor's first choice.
As a member of the cast of "Hallelujah," I am writing this series of several reasons.
First, in defense and praise of those Negro actors who both sacrificed and suffered more than the will ever kill them, that their sacrifice in artistry and realism reflect credit upon the Negro artist.
My second reason is to tell the plain, unvarnished truth that salutes this pioneer conditions under which this pioneer labored for seven lon, months.
Salaries Laughable
If it is but to be expected that wild tales are affoat to fabulous salaries received. Such is human pride. You may believe me when I say that the salaries paid the cast were ridiculous. Some may be ashamed to admit working for a mere pititance, but in this instance personal bravery must laid aside and the truth told so that men may not fall into the same pit.
My salary as musical director, a most important position in talking pictures, was less than one hundred dollars a week, and it was common knowledge that several leading musicians had fifty dollars weekly. Sounds incredible, but it is the horrible truth.
Did professional ethics permit, the salaries received by each member of the cast could here be quoted. In one it is say that "the musicians were in one seat from one-fifth to one-fifth of what they should have been.
Vidor Responsible
Responsibility for the low salaries goes to King Vidor, much lauded Texan, who came East to assemble the cast. Negotiations were well way beyond the level of the Jing-Sing, including myself, and the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Corporation several weeks before Vidor's arrival from the coast.
Fair, decent salaries were agreed to the business office and awaited confirmation by the Culver City headquarters. Instructions came to drop all negotiations, leaving the way clear for Vidor who was shamed for his lack of selection, the set, salaries, etc.
In our case, the salaries which Mr. Vidor's secretary insisted were the director's highest figures, amounted to one-third of what the New York business office had paid to artists have dwelled on the "difficulty" encountered in finding the right types for "Halleluja." I venture to say that the difficulty lay in the adjustment between "types" and salaries. So, the cast held out stubbornly for a reasonable consideration, but they beaten down to the ground by the usual argument of "inexperience," the plea that the picture was a costly experiment, appeals to their race pride and the promise of financial success. Finally the whole cast was engaged at a lump sum that one small-sized Hollywood star would consider not half enough to worry along on.
Cast Shows Sportsmanship
Think what it must have meant to work seven months, realizing every moment what they were giving for almost nothing in return. They realized it, but never did a group show a more sportsmanlike spirit. They gave all they had to the creation of the NFA, and that "Hallelujah" might open the way for the Negro in the talking screen, and determined that the finished product should justify the faith of Goldwyn-Mayer in the NFA actor.
Jim Crow in Ohio
Early in October of 1928 the cast set out for Memphis, Tennessee, where certain sequences were to be filmed, the land of treatment we would receive at the hands of the Southern whites.
My first taste of Southern hospital in Ohio. Upon entering the dining car for dinner I was coolly informed that Negroes would have to wait until all whites were served.
The Dixie Jubilee Singers, for whom I was a longtime supporter in Memphis three days following my arrival. I awaited them with some tepidation for acting upon a "hunch," I had substituted two members whom Vidor had never seen.
When little Eddie Connors, one of the substitutes, stepped off the train, Mr. Vidor's secretary knew that Mr. Vidor will say about that little black fellow—he turned him down in New York." Confidence in my munch remained unshaken, but "the 'Rid' Golden, assistant walked, walked up. He sighted Connors first thing. "Good. he exclaimed. "How did you happen to find that chap? Mr. Vidor was just, wishing that he had signed him up in New York."
So little Eddie Connors, better with Evelyn Burwell, the other substitute, made a hit comedy team, featured tonk tonk and camp scrubs.
Word "Nigger" in Script
Since the "Hallelujah" cast was all Negro, it is difficult to understand why it was necessary to use any reference whatever to that is more, with utter disregard for the feelings of the cast, they were handed scripts that abounded with expressions that any worthy Negro would present this moment perusing the script carefully and have four references to "darky" to "pickamnny," and the following dialogue and cues:
"and the bad nigger"; "sporting man, the bad nigger"; "fat negress"; "a cang of niggers"; "A great big nigger like you"; "Chick and several black wenches appease"; "A fat negress and cannot resist"; "You good-for-nigger"; "The other niggers are looking at Chick"; "I don't trust niggers preacher"; "Niggers came racing down the aisles"; "a couple of several niggers fidget in their seats"; "the niggers can't stand it any longer"; "the niggers sit down disappointed"; "the niggers on the floor roll their eyes"; "three lit-niggers."
Now, the reader may count them for himself, adding three or four that may have been overlooked.
If it is true that an author, in writing of a people, involuntarily expresses his own opinion of his subject, then he wives. We wives is a true Southern in all that the term implies. To Vidor and his scenario writer, Negroes are "niggers," and thus if was perfectly, nature to the term was not deemed likely, and had the issue been raised, the whole matter would have been disposed of with an alibi and a laugh. But though the writing was said about its mission received much thought by the east and though differing among themselves as they did—quarrel, lying, envying—they were so on the stand that could be taken as a reflection on the black race.
Cast Is Sensitive
In this respect they were as sensitive as high strung racers, shying at shadows, sensing even in their inexperience where certain would be drawn to the conclusions he had drawn by the waiting and suspicious public. The following incident may be quoted in this connection.
After the parade scene had been shot in Joe Panico, it was run off in a proroom room so the cast might rehearse the dialogue for synchronization. On the screen had been jotted remarks to be made by Bill Fountaine, the villain. The suggested line was, "A big cone like you ought to have sat in that dat donkey didn't him."
When this line flashed on the screen, Fountaine, who had been enjoying it hugely un to that he velled out an exclamation, "O 'o My that, I know. Not me. Why. man. I wouldn't dare go back to Harlem." He was finally pacified by the explanation, "The words were intended to be used."
Memphis Is Cordial
To get back to Memphis, where we remained one month shooting exterior. Our stay there was most pleasant and in the nature of a big adventure. We had wandered the city, would be the attitude in seeing a group of Nebraska from the North in the dignified business of making a motion picture. Whatever their anticipations, they were doubtless satisfied in noting that the Negroes were better as they were in seeing them filmed as cotton pickers and ordinary laborers, and not playing "white people's

The Universality of Music, Coppin Congratulated. The Art of Accompanying.
Generally speaking the music season ends in May, but locally our music seasons virtually closes with our commencement program. In the future, since the growth of our secondary schools has made Baltimore's graduating groups run well into the hundreds, it has become necessary to omit speakers as feature. The commencement program is virtually music festivals, this being particularly true in the Negro
The choral work of the students from Coppin Normal and the Douglass High is usually very appealing, and the works that are very popular include the guitar running the music of musical literature from lowly folk song, to the most beautiful and at the same time the most difficult gems of the music. The school attempts to expect the pupils of the public schools to all types of good music. Those in charge of music education, as far as it appertains to public schools, here in Baltimore, are intelligent, to know that there is a thing to be learned in music but that it is very largely influenced by pigmentary variation, hence it is not considered an "unpardoning" music, commonly called the Negro pupils type of good music.
this is not interpreted by intelligent unbiased minds, as a lack of appreciation by the members of the Negro group for their own beautiful musical idiom or their way of attempting to imitate any other dominant racial groups. Music, a universal language, has a universal appeal, hence no sensible person would attempt to extrataily say who knows or plays or which instrument, while environment in the realm of psychology, is made to include heredity, may help fashion and shape an analysis, yet in the situation most must be the psychological law of natural selection.
Coppin Congratulated
Congratulations are in order to the Coplin Normal School for the splendid music program given the closing session. A. Duke University, the teacher of music at the institution, in a quiet unobtrusive manner succeeded in getting some excellent music training. We body now at the Coplin Normal School includes many pupils possessed of good voices. Miss. H. H. H. went forth to develop the material.
Miss Mabel Davis, the solist, sings with much ease and understanding the obligato in "Infammatus" from Rossini's "Stabat Mater."
The Art of Accompanying.
The opportunity given pupils to accompany the commencement choruses is doing much to develop a commonly neglected field of musical endeavor, the art of accompanying.
Robert Earle Anderson, now a senior at the Coplin Normal, gave sympathetic and intelligent support as accompanist at the commencement of that school.
Versatile Henrietta A. Brown, a member of the June class at Douglass High School, presented the different accompaniments of the choruses which were sung at the high school commencement.

It's Nobody's Business
Two lips I know love mine,
Two lips I know do pine:
Two lips I know say "Where?"
When my two lips aren't there.
Two lips I know won't miss
The chance, my lips to kiss.
Two lips think I'm not fair;
But al, my lips don't care!
I know two lips I want:
My soul their softness haunt.
My heart does rapid beat,
For those two lips are sweet.
But long has been the time,
Since those lips pressed to mine;
And so I'm in despair,
I guess those lips don't care!
He was one of the most serious persons that you ever met, that is, if you ever met him, and in his home town he was looked upon as an Upright Young Man.
Not a bad looking chap either, and there were many of the more deadly species who would have wrapped their bread hooks around had he only given the slightest encouragement. But he engaged his mind with the more serious things, and it was no great surprise, to his many friends, when in his junior year, he was elected to the Beta Kappa. He loved love had not come. Shortly following his graduation, he was called away to another city, where a close friend and classmate of his key critically ill. And just like you read about in the story books, his friend had an adorable sister who was temporarily removed from studies and with thoughts uppermost for his friend's recovery. he became more human, more open-minded. And he must have become open-minded. And he love, he loved, he battled anxiety against his austere exterior, these many years, finally flew in.
The girl liked him too, and her happiness seemed to find its way to her sick brother so she very long after that he passed the danger spot and was well on the road to recovery. It was time then, he said, to go to Lester, to return to his home, and with many misgivings he made his departure, vowing

And he did, and she answered them, all of them. It was a year before he saw her again, and she looked even more beautiful, and she carried for her became even brighter.
For five years he worked and struggled and with the marriage date set for early the following June, it seemed that he had just opened the door to his real happiness. He was the change that had come over him, because they said: "After all, he is a Regular Guy."
Now just the reason why this was even mentioned in this column is: this. A week or two ago, they found his body huddled in a clump of bushes in one of the city cemeteries. Clutched tightly in his hand was a photograph of The Girl, and on the back of it was scribbled his armwrest

Aren't We All?
AFTER
Barnum was wrong. Investigation shows that there are now three shows born every minute. Take Godfrey-Carnera fight fristance. And then take the recent revelation that a Negro played the
part of the big gorilla in "Inagat," the "African" picture, which they tell me was filmed right here in these United States. They take a look at the cleanup made by several circus companies that are using freak Ubangi "savages," imitations of the saucer-tipped Africans, working the fake by having some sepian Americans wear a black hat and a tie to which have been attached dips of papier mache. The thing looks natural and fools hol-lpoll. But the climax came in Boston recently. Here in the Hub of Learn-company, the imitator the乌芒肯, the strobus the "Humbug Savages," and the crowds flocked out just the same, never giving a thought to the scare-head billing that told them the thing was a fake. And they hang pictures and kill time. And they beat rugs and shoot the bull.
For the Records
What might well be labeled a "Tale of Two Cities," is revealed as Frank Byrd, the HaHaLahm scribber, unfolds the following yarn:
Both of them were natives of the small town but not the man of the large big shots in the school system (what little there was) could not tolerate the boy's mishevous pranks any longer. He dismissed the kid from school, and the boy like the majority of outcasts for Harlem, to be more specific. That was several years ago.
Last year an ofay matron took a liking to the intellectual brother, even bigger now in educational circles, but when her lesser known brother the colored gentleman in the woodpile (that: what it was if we remember correctly), he flew, quite unceremoniously to parts unknown, leaving behind real estate that would not be behind.
It might interest you to know that the boy whom he fired from public school is now a prosperous well-fed racketeer with the usual amount of conspicuous motor car and other stuff that with it
He is paying his ex-schoolmaster a comparatively fat salary to tutor his son. The old man asks him to be afraid to leave it, because he is afraid to leave it. He is too far gone to start all over again. His employer takes advantage of every occasion in order to introduce a servant. Meet John, the boy he told me to speak his to do to become a big man. I didn't do it."

ROBESON IS GREATEST
NEGRO, SAYS WRITER
British Critic is Lavish in Praise of Histrionic Ability of Star.
ACTOR SPEAKS
Says Othello's Jealousy No
Sign of Inferiority.
LONDON.—Paul Robeson, star of the current production of "Othello," here, has been called by W. Keith in the London Star, "the greatest Negro living."
Speaking further of Mr. Robeson, the writer says:
"To Negroes themselves he stands like a kind of god. Even the fact that he has deserted them and settled in London, has not alienated his black worshippers in America. He is the king of their kind, and the king can bring."
"He is fortune's darling and nature's darling. At college and in sport he beat white Americans at tennis, came, a thing few Americans are allowed ever, and he was the only player of the free land of the home of the brave. He swept all before him in his studies to be come a lawyer, and he was especially that leasen in the which America the "football" he became the outstanding figure in American, then the "Black Cloud" they called because of the way he played opposing teams simpleminded and usually
Wants Soon to Visit Africa
"Paul Robson hears the tom-oms of Africa throbbing in his blood, and he wants his London son to visit the conscious background of his race, but though his father was the son of slaves who took their name from their mother, an unusual niece, and his mother was the descendant of a line of distinctions Negroes; and thouh she died when he was 16, she was the same father and mother to his young son, who for these reasons was permitted by white folks to mix with their children, when another Negro would have been shuffled off the
Robeson Discusses Part
Interviewed, the actor, discussing his role in an article published in the London Morning Post, is quoted as saying: "When Ottohe was a member of an alien race, facing a highly developed white civilisation, knowing exactly where he stood, and great general, but yet not of his race, possessing positions of his ability, and yet his conflict of race gives an 'edge' to his whole position. "You must remember the circumstances. Africa was not being those people of high lineage could not conceive of any African being of Royal blood. But what gets him through is his essential straightforwardness, his directness, and And this is the moving motive in his love for Desdemona. "If his position was difficult as a General, as a thousand times more difficult when he was in love, and determined to marry one of this race who could so little understand him. When married he would have to watch his step even when he was not in use of conflict of race a seed of jealousy was more easily sown.
No Inferiority Complex
"This sealsour was in no way an inferior complex. He was susceptible to jealousy in exactly the same way, but because of this conflict of race the ground was more easily prepared for Iago's subtle hint that he knew Desdemona and white comedians of Otto's world could. That is where Shakespeare displayed his full sympathy with the character he created. This was a jealousy of honour, desdemona, a machine of jeachness to drive herself, but, in the direct, straightforward mind of Ottoine, defiled all women." "Why do you think?" I asked, "that Shakespeare made him a man of definitely different nature."
Not Entirely Race Conflict
"I do not think that it was entirely a tragedy of racial conflict. Mr. Robeson, the more effective dramatic means of getting a high light on what was probably his own tragedy. Can you not see his hard work and fat beyond what he was supposed to have. Why should this tragedy of Othello not be his own personal tragedy? Or should he be the tragedy who is, in essence, too great for his station?"
Wants Old Dancing Partner
George White, white, famous producer of the "Scandals" in New York, who also introduced the movie and Black and White, has broadened his reminiscence, tells of the time he danced on the Bowery with a partner. Says George, "My first dancing partner, Sunny Swinton, a sweet business, black, black as the ace of spades and white, white as the ace of meads to around all the joints, Chinatown, the Morgue, Pelham Cafe, Steve Brodle's. We dance together when the shower of coins comes from the farmers' drinking beer, Sunny stops hooning up results. After our first success, I turn business manager, and Sunny dances when I sweep up the pennies, Maybe one dime, Twenty-five years, and paying Ed Wynne his first week's salary of $5,000 in "Manhattan Mary," my mind wander back to Sunny, and I wonder what's become of him." Some knowing of Sunny's whereabouts confer a favor upon the producer by acting Mr. White at the Apollo Theatre in West 42nd Street, New York City.

PHILLY MIRROR
By ERNEST VERLACK
"Bilo," one of the better known black-faced comedians, has followed Duke Ellington to the Pearl, and is now appearing at this house in "South Street Blues." It is a revue of much merit, and easily one of the "Bilo" has appeared in, in recent years.
STANDAED
"Desires of 1930," a revue on the order of "Blackbirds," is now appearing three times in theaters. It is again, as in most revues of this type, a wealth of good dancing, but little else. **ROXA**
One of the most famous of the gangster stories, "Louis Bertie," will be the screen attraction on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the New York City Museum of Art. "Born Bracket," with Edmund Lowe featured, on Monday and Tuesday, "Fox Mistone Pollies of 1930," was the attraction.
"Lord" Refuses to Have Separate Dressing Room
NEW YORK, CITY, (CNS.) — "The Green Pastures," the Pulitzer Prize-winning play of more than $100,000, is still good copy for the dramatic critics.
One writer recently wrote of this case: "A stage manager will tell you that he has never worked with a better cast than these ninety-six players who nightly give in." In the "Green Pastures."
There is no such thing as professional jealousy, among these people, he says, but there is perfect harmony and equality, with a devotion to "The Lord" that is made up of reverence and love due in part to the character and also to Mr. Krenn's personality.
"Some of them feel it isn't right for him to be sharing a dressing room with you, that they should be entitled to that way, but he himself will hear no other arrangements since there is a scarcity of rooms. Soubabbling has little, if any, part in this course, and the single change in the cast since the play opened, and, as a rule, its members are conscientious about coming to perform at the theatre or another, they do stay away they back back the oddest excuses. One angel, for example, reported that she couldn't come to the dressing room another had a baby, but she would sure see that this didn't happen again."

Claims He was Gorilla
Scampering around in the guise of a ferocious gorilla is worth $20 a day according to the claim. Mr. Campbell, Los Angeles, filed with the State Labor Bureau. He is seeking to collect from W. Sydney Campbell, producer of "Ingag."
According to Phillips, he was first captured an African and was paid $65 a day. Then, his complaint states he was promoted to the gorilla division, handed a fur suit, and told to act wild. It was a disagreement with Campbell that led to Campbell's alleged refusal to pay the $20 a day. Phillip states.
In one of the most exacting and unique dance marathons that have been staged in this country, the 10-week series of dancing, singing, and entertaining in a huge tent at Maywood, California, is called a minstrel marathon, because, instead of the steady, monotonous, dragging round and round the floor to the music, a wonderful revue of brownskin steppers, headed by a group of ten performers table club floor show in the rest periods. Also nearly everyone of the contestants sing, dance, play, or do the dance. The orchestra plays the next ball-room number. Even then, instead of just the regular fox-trot or two-step routine, they introduce intricate, and difficult, dance steps, such as would grace any stage.
A $1,000 prize was held out to the couple who lasts the longest, and to date each couple is determined to be the winner. The great circus was packed from time to time during the twenty-four hours, with both white and colored spectators from nearby and distant points. Masters of ceremonies, male and female nurses, doctors, and night shifts, are constantly on hand. They closely watch the entrants as to every need during the rest period. The eight couples still in the courtroom and still going strong are: Gratum Farr and Dot West. Smiles Woods and Dot Williams, Maudier Giles and Bolden, Bill Thomas and Mildred Harris Joe Nelson and Bille Davis, Charles Baldwin and Mildred McLaughlin, and Ramona and Harold Smith, who married since the contest started.
The Claflin University quartet, with Dr. L. M. Dunton, president emeritus of Claflin, made a pilgrimage to the grave of Lee Claflin the day before, at Milford, Mass., last Sunday. The quartet, in the robes of the M.E. choir, and occupying seats with the choir under the direction of the ministering services under the direction of the pastor, Rev. C. I. Spear. The pastor's sermon was centered around the Honorable Lee Claflin. The afternoon, the group was guest of honor at the open air Sesqui Centennial program in Milford Park, where Governor Allen of Massachusetts, spoke before about 60 persons. Following this, the group successfully concert at the M.E. church.

Philly Music School Closes
Last Thursday evening the Motkin
School of Music, Philadelphia's
largest Negro school of music, cate-
clescises. The affair brought together
in happy reunion the Atlantic City
and Philadelphia branches.
Marie Antoinette Carlton, mezzo soprano, and pupil of Ferdinand Motley, founder and director of the school, received her diploma culminating in a Bachelor of Music from The Rev. Arthur E. Rankin, pastor of the Bereis Presbyterian Church, delivered the commencement address on "The Call of the Age." A chorus consisting of shawl singers from Philadelphia groups rendered admirably Gounod's "Unfold Ye Portals" and Cowen's "Bridal Chorus." An award in gold offered by the school for the best song or a school song written by the ballet student at the Atlantic City branch. The words were put to music by Mr. Motley. The presentation of award was made by Louise King Motley, dean of the school, and head of the school choir. The school song was sung immediately after the presentation. Miss Carlton sang with ease and facility Chaminade's "L'Ete." This selection was sung in French. As her number for encore she sang in Brown Boy of Mine, composition of her teacher, Mr. Motley.
Boston Pupils in Recital
The pupils of Miss Bertice J. Calloway gave their annual planform rectale Tuesday evening at Bates College, Bowie, Among the younger pupils to be heard were Calvin and George Gill, Anita and Mabel Morgan. Others on the program were: Eugene Sparrow, Edwin Jones, Emerson Williams and André. The Misses Mary Leftwich, Mary Boley and Eva Moulton showed exceptional ability in expression and technique. During a brief intermission, Mrs. Ethel Grays Frazer sang the Misses Mary Leftwich, Miss Caloway. Notable on the second half of the program were renditions by the Misses Welma Isaacs, who played "Schoego" by Dennee, and Robert Joyner's "Elder Hunt" by McDowell. Mr. Joyner also rendered a duet with his teacher Miss Caloway.
Scrapton Pianist Graduates
Among the outstanding musical events was the piano recital for graduation and the graduation of Mrs. Carol Ackel Coleman from the University (Pa.) Conservatory of Music. Mrs. Coleman'a program was a difficult one and each number rendered showed the careful preparation and training that is hers. Numbers and chaining that Kullah, Kullah and Lizzi were played.
Pianists Win Scholarships
The privilege of a special Chicago Musical College scholarship with Percy Grainer, internationally famous concert pianist and teacher was the cover of the book "The Women last week when Miss Hazel Harrison of Chicago, and Mrs. James C. Williamson of Cheyney Institute, Pa., won in a class of thirty contestants.
Miss Harrison, who has studied in Chicago, number of years, is recognized as one of the foremost concert pianists of the colored group. Mrs. Williamson, who will take the "How to Study Classes" course of the master school, is a former teacher of Tuskegee Institute, who is now located in Chicago. Her husband is one of the instructors. This is her second scholarship. Last year she won the Boguslawski scholarship at the same school.
Evanti Acclaimed at Naples
Mme Lillian Ewanti won the praise of critical Italian professionals when she appeared at Napies in "Representazione Straordinaria" in which she took the title role of the opera Traviata. A leading Italian paper said: "Her art gives full value to her voice, her sense of pitch. She gave to the personage a combination of poetry and dramatic feeling, with a style full of grace and beauty. She was greatly applauded for her act and at all of the high points."
The drama of dramas—the entertainment of entertainments—the love story of love stories—the spectacle of spectacles—the thriller of thrillers — the musical extravaganza of musical extravaganzas—YES! That's what you'll see when you see Pathe's tremendous drama of circus life . . .

Did Actor Bite Cat?
If a cat scratches or bites an actor, it is of little or no news value; the musical composer imbibes a little too freely of Harlem giggle water and bites the cat, newspaper scribes will say that it is a corking good yarn. This is exactly what happened at a party for some of the "Green Pass" cast a few nights ago. Strange places are famous for strange happenings.
Ballroom Changes Hands
The management of the New York Renaissance Casino ballroom changed hands last week, when the new owner, Dr. Spencer Spears, president, with F. F. Barnes, manager, took over the reins. The Renaissance has been the seat of many of the nation's most affairs, the leading clubs and fraternities having held their dances for the past ten years. It was recently remodeled into a Spanish effect.
Sandy Burns at Albambra
After an absence of several months Sandy Burns, "Ashes" returns to the team for a limited engagement, beginning Monday. Burns, after his appearance in *BlackBirds*, was two or three of the latter's favorites and other theaters in the East.
"Blackbirds" All Set
At last Edgar Allen, casting director, has completed the rather difficult job of signing up the principals of "Blackbirds." Walda Snow will return from Paris in time for rehearsals with Ethel Waters, Minta Cato, Miller and Mantan, Eubie Blake, Broadway Jones, Buck and Bubbles, the Blake-Jones "Blackbird" band.
Although Lew and Mrs. Leslie dropped around $300,000 with the International Revue, they are taking chances. "Blackbird" turnover, thereby insuring only family splits of the possible heavy gross returns.
To Have Spanish Theatre
The fact that the Harlem Fifth Avenue (110th Street and Fifth Avenue) soon will inaugure an all-inclusive theater, the super Manhattan is still without a Negro theatre.

According to the reports coming in from Hollywood, the Coast situation everywhere out there is idle, and actors have long since given up the idea of eating, even now and then. They are very much concerned, how actors act before the public. Not long ago, a certain night club was making preparation for its big opening.

The Story of a Girl with a Strange, Brown, and Compelling Beauty
Yara Nash, remarkably and irresistibly beautiful daughter of a worth-
indigent family residing in Billy Goat Lane, Norrisburg, is ambitious to
have her environment and amount to so much. Colvin, an unagainst, uncebut but besetter, her mother was a strong defender. She refuses to do it. Returning from a movie, she one night he becomes engaged at her retusal; to be her friend and attempt to kiss her by force. A stranger, Donald Baxter, comes to her rescue
routs Dick.
Baxter is a dapper gabber from Kalesburg, a neighboring city. He is irresistibly drawn from Verna and lavishes attentions upon her. Verna is flattered but exasive. As Baxter has always had his way with Verna's easiness infuriates him, but his biting tone he finally persuades Verna to accept a position in his cabaret in Kalesburg. Dick Colvin tries to prevent her. There is a fight and Baxter again
After an all-night drive in Baxter's car they arrive in the big city. He takes her to room with a friend of his, Mrs. Quill, a tall sardonic woman with an evil eye. She shows Yerna to her room. Trying the door after Mrs. does it, locked.
CHAPTER FOUR
VERNA'S heart sank. What sort of trick was this? She glanced around the room fearfully like a cornered animal. She dug her nails into her palms and hit her lip. The subdued flush that always tinted her round crown cheeks drained out as she considered the significance of her predicament.
She walked to the door again. She snaps, after all, no harm was in mind. Perhaps the catch was on or missing. But no, it was locked. Was no catch on it. She dropped easily to one knee and squinted through the keyhole. Yes, the key was gone; Mrs. Quill must have locked the door behind her when she cut out.
This must be the work of Donald Batter. And to think that she had nested him! Well, there was no use over spilled milk. What was done was done. This how, she saw that out. She must escaped, she clearly saw that now. Donald Batter, with his unctuous heart no good.
threw them into the yard. Then, slowly, hall fearfully, she crawled out of the window and balanced herself on the ledge. She looked down and her head swam a little. Suppose she fell! Suppose the knots in the sheets gave way!
Suddenly she heard someone walking in the nail. There was no time to lose. She gripped the improvised rope and let herself gradually down until her entire weight was on it. Placing her toe against the wall of the house and holding on for dear life, she began to walk slowly, haltingly down the side to the yard.
A Stranger
She had let herself down perhaps
Suddenly, she thought of the window that looked out on the back yard of the house. Hopefully she raced it and looked out. She was on the second floor. The back yard was a wilderness of odds and ends, abananced furniture, cans, bed springs and other trash. Beyond it was the rest of another house with a narrow alongside leading to the next street.
She tried the window. It was locked, the lock was rusty from disuse. All her strength could not budge it. Again and again she tried until she weared weir: raw and sore. Would she have to stay here after all she had to stay here. Again her thoughts poured to her neck. Suspended her neck. Convulsively, frantically, held it in her hand and silently for help.
In reply to her supplication, the weight of the poker in front of place. Relieved, she dashed it and returned to the lock. The lock yielded to the image of the strong instrument and the window was open.
She leaped for out and looked down on the yard. It was too far to jump, much was certain. Moreover, all of the debris under the window, she might be crippled or disfigured for life if she attempted such jump. She shuddered and glanced seriously at her pretty oval brown in one of the nearby mirrors. How could she get down? She shudder herself the question of a sudden lapse itself to her: the sheets. She stepped up, excited and hopeful, dropped the two sheets off the bed and tied them together. Then she tied the spread to them and found herself in possession of a strong if extremely rope. Hastily she tied it to the leg of the bed and threw the end out of the room. She pushed back across the room, got her little package of gifts all she had in the world, and

SYNOPSIS
threw them into the yard. Then, slowly, half heartily, she crawled out of the window and balanced herself on the ledge. She looked down and her head swam a little. Suppose she fell! Suppose the knots in the sheets gave way!
Suddenly she heard someone walking in the nail. There was no time to lose. She gripped the improvised rope and let herself gradually down until her entire weight was on it. Placing her feet against the wall of the house and holding on for dear life, she began to walk slowly, haltingly down the side to the yard.
A Stranger
She had let herself down perhaps five feet when the rope of sheets began to give. Her heart sank and she felt a sensation of dizziness. Desperately she held on while the rope slipped in by inch. She realized that she must expedite her descent before the rope broke or the knots gave way.
It seemed almost an eternity between each foot of descent and the next. The rope 'o' sheets kept well shipping. Was it the knots giving way or was it the bed moving over to the window? She hoped it was the latter because she knew it could not get out of the window. A hasty glance downward showed that she had perhaps five feet more to go. She would have jumped but there were too many broken bottles and cans below her.
Then suddenly the rope of sheets gave way more than ever and a sound from above told her that the bed was moving the two or three feet to the window. As the bed was a heavy one, it moved slowly and the sound from above to deep groaned to the ground. Once there, she picked up her little bundle, and, threading her way through the rubbish, made for the narrow alley that led to the street, beyond, and freedom.
A great weight fell from her when she receded the alley. She turned about and looked back at the window that she had just left. The light was still burning in the room. She sighed thankfully and made for the street.
She had traversed about one half of the narrow alley when a side door in one of the houses opened noiselessly and a tall, square, round-shouldered man with a trailing black topcoat and wearing a ragged slouch hat, stepped out. hugging a huge bundle under his arm.
Instinctively she flattened herself against the wall of the house but it was too late. Turning suddenly the man saw her. Startled, he uttered a grunt, dropped his bundle and

The Dark Fluid
She shrank back. What could it be? Why had the man run away? In the semi-darkness of the early morning the bundle seemed a strangely repellent thing, and yet somehow or other she had a compelling urge to look into it. although she knew that she should be getting away from the vicinity as soon as possible.
She reached over with her toes and touched it. Under the pressure of her it gave slightly, and yet there was a gap. Then for the first time she noticed a dark fluid was oozing from it. She jumped back with an exclamation and cold chills ran all over her. She tried to scream in her fright, but her dry throat only rattled.
Verna would have fled that instant, but her ungovernable curiosity held her. Had then leen a murder? Perhaps this big bundle contained part of the victim's body? The longer she pondered and hesitated, the bolder she seemed to get. Finally, throwing caution to the winds, she reached down and pulled at one end of the big cloth that was wrapped around it.
Bleeding Flesh
The bundle unrolled. Verna's apprehension of what it might contain frightened her so that she was unable either to turn loose the cloth or to run to the street. Finally the cloth, which seemed to be a table cloth, unrolled completely and a shib of bleeding flesh fell at the girl's feet. She stood rooted to the spot; horrified, the back of her hand across her mouth, her eyes dilated in fear. She could feel her hands crumbling down her back and a faintness came over her. She wandered to run and couldn't.
Then suddenly, as if in answer to some silent prayer, the sun rose and its rays brightened the dark, narrow, fearsome passageway. Under the sunlight, its sinister aspect seemed to vanish. She looked down at the bloody touch at her feet. It was only a shoulder of beef! The man must have been a thief in the dark at seeing a great load lifted off her spirit, and in reaction she laughed hysterically, her voice sounding strange and hollow in the narrow confines between the two tall buildings. She gripped her little package and ran hastily out to the street.
It was a broad street; a street lined with stately chestnuts and oaks that stretched a shimmering canopy of green leaves and branches over the paved thoroughfare. Verna gracefully breathed in the fire then turned to her right and saw her face. She didn't know where she was going but she was anxious to get as tar as possible from Mrs. Quill's and Donald Baxter.
Enters Church
She walked and walked for perhaps a half hour, and then, being a little weary, she stopped in front of a beautiful little brick church all covered with dark green vines. It seemed so restful sitting back here, with a few tombstones in its yard, and benches under some of the trees. Altogether the grounds occupied half a block. Surely no one would object to her sitting down on one of the benches, Verna thought to herself. Then she hesitated. People would certainly think it strange to see a young girl sitting in a church at six in the morning. We not inside of the church and sit for a few minutes in its coolness and quiet? She walked up the path and tried

the door. It was unlocked. Quietly glancing up and down the street, she pushed the big door open and entered. No one would begrudge her a all, there was no other place for her to go. She did not know a soul in taking and there was only five dollars in her purse.
The inner door was also unlocked and she entered the auditorium. How restful it was with the bright morning sun streaming through the stained glass windows, and being reflected by the silver and bronze of the altar with its sacred candles and bowls. She sank down on it and that she realized how weared she was from the oracle through which she had just passed.

Suddenly she awoke with a start and sat bolt upright, her hair on end, her flesh creeping, a clammy moisture enveloping her. All was as quiet as when he had gone to sleep. The sun had shifted to the other side, and she felt the need to herself awake and freed from the horrors of the dream world, Verna stretched lazily, wiped her eyes and restored her makeup.
The Clergyman
This finished, she lapsed into deep thought. What was she going to do now? Knowing no one, where would she stay? And then she was ravenously hungry and that called for immediate attention. She looked in her hand-bag and fished out the solided five dollar bill, she fingered it lovingly and thought of a hearty meal of thick porterhouse steak smothered in onions, French fried potatoes, lettuce and tomato salad covered with rich mayonnaise dressing, buttered toast, a thick wedge of sweet potato pie and a tall, frosty glass of ice tea.
Resolved to suit action to thought, she rose stiffly, smoothed the winkles from hir dress and walked slowly toward the door. She turned the knot, and, pulling the door, open and was taken deep into the vestibule, where the outer door opened and there before her stood a studious looking, handsome, young man, attired in a long ministerial coat and a clerical collar.
She stepped back, speechless, and shrank against the door frame. The el. gymman arched his eyebrows in surprise. The man spoke first. "Why, how do you do, Miss? Are you looking for someone?" He beamed upon her with a professional smile as she wondered what she should so. Her usually frank character dictated her reply.
At Last, a Welcome
"I was just tired, Reverend," she admitted, "and so I came in here to rest for a while. It is so beautiful, so restful. I guess I stayed longer than I should have."
"Not at all, Miss." he replied politely. "The House of God is always open to those weary in body and spirit. You are quite welcome, I assure you." There was an awkward silence. The young clergyman, losing his youth or a moment, eyed the beautiful woman with sinuous body, admiringly. Verna saw in a flash that she had impressed him. Almost unconceciously she dropped her eyelids with just enough courage to further intrigue him. She caught herself wondering why such a handsome man should become a minister, and at such an early age. It was difficult for her to think of herself, and for elderly men with grease countenances.

"Oh, I—I'm Verna Nash." "Do you live in Kalesburg, Miss Nash?" he inquired, moving inside the vestibule and closing the outer door. "No. I just came into town this morning." "Where are you stopping in town?" "Nombre?"
A Real Friend
"Nowhere? You mean you haven't any place to stay; that you are alone and unknown in this strange city?" Rev. Godfrey seemed quite concerned. He came nearer and placed his hand on the girl's shoulder, looking at her compassionately. "Why did you come here," he asked. "If I knew no one and had no place to stay?" "Oh, I don't know." Verna almost screamed. "I can't go into all of that." She was nervous and laint from hunger. "Well, that's perfectly all right. Miss Nash," he replied soothingly. "If you will permit me, I shall be delighted to put you in the room with some very respectable and God-fearing people who will be very glad to look out for you until you are set-
Why not? Verna asked herself. After all, she was in something of a fix. This fellow seemed honest and anxious to help her. Despite her very antagonistic attitude toward men in general, after her experience with Dick Colvin and Donald Baxter, she decided to let Rev. Godfrey help her.
Thank you so much," she said sweetly. "It's awfully nice of you to treat me, a perfect stranger, so nicely."
Love at First Sight
"You don't seem to be a stranger to me, Miss Nash," he said, leaning against the door and looking down into her limpid eyes with a worshipful gaze that said volumes. "It seems as it I have known you for a long time. Isn't that funny?" "Sort of," Verna admitted, noticing again the classic profile and many mouth and arm movements. She could tell me that Rev. Hughey Godfrey was falling head over heels in love with her at first sight. Why did they all do that, she asked herself, without any effort on her part? It was flattering, of course, and might be useful but right now it annoyed her a little. Why were men so helpless and pliable in the hands of an attractive woman? "Come, said rev. Godfrey, pulling you over, you must have some supper. I know you must be rather hungry." He led the way around the church and to the paragon in the rear. He flung open the front door and bade her enter.

Having previously told us about the Carlisle murder case, which we have already characterized, Mr. Mitchell was deeply concerned that Mice and myself completely forgot that we were grounded together here in the darkness of the north veranda—and not visitors at the beautiful Mitchell Park. Briefly, the first part of this interesting case:

The family doctor arrives. There is more discussion, and Hotomba decides to take the gun. He shoots the man and the officers play rings. Hotomba pieces up the receiver and strokes. "Hello!" then a feminine voice, clearly above all, "I WARNED HIM TWICE. HE IGNOROED ME. I DON'T DESPERATION."
THE CONCLUDING PART
For several moments now miles and myself had been sitting there waiting for Holcomb to finish with his pipe and resume his narration of the case. Suddenly a match fanned up above the bowl, and persevered he had to laugh. There was a grin there, a mischievous one—a finely-inclined dark-skinned face set in comic retrospection.
"It makes me laugh now," Holcomb remarked, "when I recall the purpose for which that telephone message was conceived. As you shall see, it was invented to kill two birds and confuse, eh?" "Indeed," Miles said.
"All right, grown in all estate-noma, kno" "O.K. So Holcomb again to" "Who a lie?" Ho desk at t "How'd Jennings said I was t?" Holcomb the door.
Yes, gentlemen. I plunged right into the little trap, and luckily. Within twenty minutes I had the call traced to a Mrs. Roscoe Nathaway, at an address on Prairie Avenue, and headquarters had dispatched a man to investigate, with instructions to notify me of developments at once. Meanwhile the undertakers arrived and removed Mitchell's body, and I set about questioning the Mitchell domestics. . . It is always best to hang on to every little clue, vknow!".

Holcomb hunched forward in his chair again and plunged headlong into his tale, and if you had been there you, too, would presently have seen Holcomb questioning the at the broad desk questioning first the cook and then in rapid succession, the two maids. Each one stated that Mrs. Mitchell did not return from town until after six o'clock that evening, and that all of them would be in the kitchen from four o'clock until their mistress returned at six-thirty. They had heard a detonation during that time, yes, several in fact, but cars out on the highway often backfired and they had grown used to such noises. That was all.
The next person Wade sent in was Jennings. There was a sullen reluctance written on his wrinkled face, and the fingers of his left hand kept twitching nervously. He seated himself in the chair opposite Holcomb. "Jennings" he began carefully. "You believe you a while ago that you had been here for . . . eight years, was it not?"
"Only a very good butler can reain a position, so long."

The old man ignored the compliment. Holcomb studied him and then went on: "Now, Jennings, did your employers have many—ah—differences?—such as the one they evidently had recently?" Suddenly, the butler jumped to his feet. It was as if he were mad, frightened, and on the verge of collapse, all at once. He shook violently. "I tell you, madam didn't do this!" he shouted fiercely. "I tell you—" Holcomb's voice came hard like nails. "Who said she did? You will calm yourself, Jennings. . . Be seated." He sat back down, grumbling. "I say, did they quarrel often?" "I didn't say—if they did, I don't know anything about it!" "Humm." Holcomb decided to drop it. "Well, did Mr. Mitchell have many intimate friends; that is, callers?" "No, sir." "None at all?" "Mr. Reynolds, he comes over some times." "And who might Mr. Reynolds be, Jennings?"
"The owner of the adjoining estate, sir."
"Has he been notified of the—?" "No. sir; madam's orders, sir." "Jennings, while we were talking to Mrs. Mitchell you were listening eavesdropping—why?" "The old man suddenly went ashen grey again. His lips moved but no words came. Holcimb was about to hurt him again, but he raised sadly and he whisked it up. "Hello!" "Holcimb?" a rough voice inquired. "Yes." "Meekins speaking." "Yes." "Proceeded to address on Prairie Avenue and was admitted by woman ca'ing herself Mrs. Roscoe Hatha, with personal effects packed into nags. She says that she checked two trunks through to New York earlier today. She's got a through ticket here for the 12:55—an 'rair' to go!"
"Regular little wildcat. Smoked three cigarettes and downed two glasses' o' liquid nails in fifteen minutes... . . . Sassy."

"Yes."

"U.K. Sure."
Holocom hung up and then turned
again to—who was this!
"Who are you?--How did you get

desk at the strange young man.
"How's I get in here? Why, when
Jennings went out the man outside
said I was next. . . What's the matter?"
Holocom jumped up and rushed to
the door. "Wade!"
"Yes, sir."
"Find that smart-Alee butler and

back to the desk.
She was standing there glaring down at him.
"Doxier is my name," informed the tall young man.
"I chauffeur here, see."
"Uh-huh," Holcomb snapped. "How long?"
"Oh, about two pay-days."
"Hmm! Tell me, have you heard or seen anything around here lately that made you... wonder?"
You've has, your chance. You'll pay up, before the first—or else!"
"You heard no other voice?"
"Naw—an' the door, it was shut."
"Anything else?"

'an' he was ballin' out some frail, an' she was cryin' nope. I didn't see her."
"All right, Dozler, that'll be all." Precisely at that moment Wade entered the room again. He was very excited. Colomb jumped up and crossed toward him.
"Jennings!" Wade exclaimed. "Jennings has disappeared. The cook says she saw him run out of the front door. I searched everywhere—but he's gone!"
Together, they rushed down stairs, Old Doctor Canada was leaving Mrs. Mitchell's room as they came out. "Wait," he whispered fiercely, thinking that the men were bent on seeing its patient again. You must not disturb him, conditioned. But the officer, flashed past him and down the stairs.
Jennings HAD vanished.
Holcomb and Wade were discussing this in the downstairs drawing room when a car suddenly rattled up the driveway and then Meikins appeared, preceded by a woman. About thirty, she faced the officers impatiently, a lighted cigarette between her fingers, an expensive fox scarf dangling around her shoulders; Mrs. Roscoe Hathaway—superbly forme, brownskin, pretty, even, but for the excessive use of cosmetics and that hard, well look that comes to a female's eyes once she has—come cynical.
"You know, of course, why you have been brought here," Holcomb remarked, when she had seated herself opposite him.
She inhaled deeply of her cigarette, lessurely, then laughed lightly. "It smells, she juggled "like some of Mr. Mitchell's doings."
You know as well as I do," Holcomb growled "that Mitchell is dead. The fact that you phoned proves that "Come—"
Mrs. Hathaway had gone suddenly pale. Now she jumped up to her feet, gasping. "Mr. Mitchell dead?" she demanded. "Oh, no, no, no! can't be!" "If you didn't know it, explain your phone call?" Holcomb countered. "Phone?"—he mouth and eyes opened wide. "It was traced to your apartment," Holcomb Mapped. "Why did you kill Mr. Mitchell?" Her lips suddenly moved but no words came. A great change came over this woman. Holcomb saw it;

"You heard no other voice?"

"Anything else?"
"Yeah. Another time I went up and Wade, and Meekins. Her eyes closed. One hand found its way to her forehead. The other doubled into a little fist. And then came whispers-startled whispers to herself.
And then her sudden move took the men by surprise. The men suddenly discovered that she had disappeared like a mocking jack. Mekins went tumble-backwards in his chair to the floor.

Al Brown, Bantamweight Champ, to Show Here for First Time July 4.
LANGFORD ON CARD
Snowflakes and Bobby Brown Face Real Tests.
Sponsored by the local Elks' Lodges, the benefit boxing show planned for July 4th at the Black Sox Park, for the Good Sheep Hospital of Baltimore gives promise of establishing a new attendance mark.
A world's champion and a contender for his throne are the principals in the main bout. The champion is Al Brown, of Panama, holder of the bantamweight title. His opponent will be Calvin Reed, of New York, who has beaten a number of top notchers of the division. They will battle over the ten-round route.
The Good Sheep Hospital is but two years old when judging which time it has been on hundreds of needy Indications are that the financial burden of the hospital will be greatly lessened judging from the way in which the tickets are being sold for the Fourth of July boxing
Brown Has Had 160 Fights
Al Brown, the recognized king of the bantams, boasts of a record of more than 160 flights. He has never lost a bout on a four-wheel drive but the professional career Brown has lost but seven flights on decisions. Reed's record is too well known to review. He has fought in many occasions and always pleased the fans.
Reed believes that he has a good chance of beating the title holder next Friday night in New York, there are many admirers who share the opinion. However, the champion is rated a favorite to win the decision over the New Yorker. What matter, what matters, is to be a real thriller. Brown, the champion, is putting the finishing touches on his training at Joe Dundee's private gym while Reed is preparing for the set-to in New York.
Longford Meets Norfolk
One change has been made in the original bill. Young Sam Langford, a former Baltimore boy is going to fight Young Kid Niemann, a former New Yorker, to go through with the match and Langford readily agreed to mingle with the Kid. This is an eight rounder. The boys are featherweights and are are the leaders in the match. Langford is sparring with Kid Chocolates and has learned a lot.

The entire ball park was flooded with light from a portable electric lighting plant brought here by the Kansas City team, and the local fans were surprised at the almost perfect playing done on the field. The hard-hitting outfielder, was again in the Detroit lineup after a short sojourn with the Lincoln Giants of New York City.

THE EPIDEMIC of foul endings in big-time match matches, the last one being the beautiful five-act melodrama *Primo Carrera and Gorgeus Godreff*, last week, has caused more typewriter ribbons to be worn to shreds, more linotype operators to go crazy, and more proofreaders to succumb than any series of events in athletic circles in quite a long time.
number of years. There is much yet to be written concerning this foul business as it exists today. Comments have been frequent and lengthy as various authors have lifted up their typewriters in protest of the strangle hold which the racketeers now have upon the fastic industry.
hold when the faces of Concerning Godfrey-Carrera aftermath, it is interesting to note the reaction from various angles. Among these sidelights, one of the most interesting, to me, is furnished by T. Von Ziekursch of the Philadelphia Dally News, who talked with Jimmy Dougherty, Godfrey's manager, shortly after the fight. The Leiperville baron is saving:
"It all comes down to this. George did hit Carnera low and Carnera laid down and quit like a dog. He had taken a lot harder punches early in the fight, but that was his chance for an out. A man can't get anything in this game unless he's crooked. He can't
even get creat.
"I made it possible for a lot of others to split up a fortune. Now I can figure out some way to pay Godfrey's bills, for there isn't a dollar left of the $5,000 share the commission gave George out of his
purse of $10,000. George hit him below the belt, but his belt was four inches above where it should have been, and when I protested that this might lead to a foul nobody paid any attention to, I or anybody there could have taken and come back fighting in ten seconds. But what's the use? We all got it in the neck where we deserved to get it and Carrera and his mob got there.
$43,000.
You can draw your own conclusion as to whether or not there was any money paid to Godfrey and his backers for the dramatic ending of the little sit at Baker Bowl. The Leiperville management had been previously reported as turning a deaf ear to a proposition to "throw" a fight with Max Schmeling for $75,000, or was it double that amount? It had also been stated that a substantial sum had been offered some time ago if Godfrey would take a "dive" with Carrion or some other state where anything goes.
nera in California or some other location. Jack Sharkey toured Schmeling and received the same amount as the German. He said that his license was not touched, and already it is reported that a return bout between the two actors is practiced to be held late this summer. Larry Johnson Pete Latzo in New York and in addition to being fined one-half of his purse is suspended for a period of sixty days.
It appears, then, in this fouling business, that the sepian migrant list gets the short end of everything. Already the sepian migrants asked: "What will George Godfrey do now? The way local law fets now, I doubt whether the big jelly could fill the New Albert
Yet the old duck public does forget, and it would not surprise this writer if an attempt should be made to rematch Godrey and Carnera in some other state and charge twice the charge charged in Philadelphia. And for that reason the cost of $7.00 top should have been a plenty. The public is still a great sucker. If boxes could only be the blows below the belt like the public does would be any more cry of "Foul."
there never would be.
S stirred her the fistic greybeards become in some quarters that many plans have been under consideration of the boxing commissioners to coordinate the foul evil. Taylor and Gunnis, promoters of the Giffrey-Carnera fuss, have already announced that the Bass-Cormoran fight, scheduled for Philadelphia on July 28, will have all tickets provided for foul checks in case of a foul ending.
all these types. In New York, the following suggestions have been made as
furnish 'New for the soul' evil:
cures for the injury.
1. Each principal of main contest to post a substantial forfeit to cover club manager's expense, same to he paid said manager in event of contest ending by reason of a foul.
2. If the event of main contest ending by a foul, the referee to declare "no contest." Purse to be withheld and principals rematched. If either contest refuses to accept return match within thirty days, he shall forfeit his part of the purse and continue suspended until reinstated by the State Boxing Commission.
3. In event of semi-final or preliminary contest ending by a
foul, the above rules shall be infforced, except as to posting for
set, rule 4. All club managers to issue tickets with "foul stub" attached (such as main checks on baseball tickets), which will be recognized for admission to contest only on站 set for rematched offenders of the above rule. Foul stubs only to be issued and valid for "foul" committed in main event.
Those making these suggestions, however, seem to be unaware that Section 2 of the New York State Boxing Law says:
"No contestant shall be paid . . . before the contest, and should it be determined by the judges and referee that such contestant did not give an honest exhibition . . . such services shall not be paid for."
Other suggestions would have the two participants in a fight placed in man holes in the ring, with only the upper portions of their bodies exposed, eliminating the chance for a foul blow. Or to have the contestants wear cast iron trunks and tissue paper gloves, insuring themselves against letting fly a foul swing. And there are others even more ludicrous.
ever over the hill.
This writer believes that the only way to eliminate fouls is to arrange for the winner of the fight to take all, and to have a fighter striking a palpable foul to forfeit his purse. Give the fouled fighter twenty minutes to rest, putting on a preliminary bout, term, and if he then refuses to continue, to offer him share of the receipts. Examinations made by the fighter leap into the ring and make a hurried decision nine times out ten inaccurate, and thus have a real basis on the true condition of a fighter, for often blow leaves no immediate bruise.
Insist upon the wearing of a regulation cup and designate the waist line clearly, to prevent fighters from pulling their breeches up around their necks. Do all of these things, and you will have no more fouls.
From all indications it appeared that Godfrey co-Wop-erated with Carnera to make the Philly fight end as it did, but then says the friend to my right, "What can you expect but fouls in a baseball park?"
So there you have the whole thing at your finger tips, and whatever you care to do about it, is all right with me.

The Thompson, since leaving Virginia Seminary, has been getting in some good practice sessions, and vows that he has really started to train in earnest for the nationals which will be held in August at Indianapolis. In all fairness to Thompson it must be said again that last year he was the victim of the rotten rating system used by the A.T.A. officials. This year the ratings seem to be a little more logical.
While a letter from this pillar to Edgar Brown, the Chicago tennis master, remains unanswered, the report from the Windy City persists that Brown will not be a competitor in this year's national tournament. With Brown removed, the tournament will certainly lose some of its traditional color, and there is no person Thompson would rather meet than the bewhiskered Chicagoan.
Eyre Saitch promises to be in top form as does Jimmy Stocks, the Californii..l. flash, who in the past two years has risen from the ranks of the comparatively unknown to a position as a formidable contender for the national title.
Ballimore, still asleep, will have no outstanding player in any of the divisions. Alfred Walker, who ranked next to the top of the juniors, will not be able to compete this year, dropping his tennis game, temporarily, for the less inviting alternative of work. Young Walker was graduated with honors from the local high school, and is looking forward to college next fall. He intends, however, to return the mast after this year, but at that time will fall into the senior competition.
There is not a local player in either the men's or women's divisions to carry the Monumental City colors aloft in the nationals — a rather sorry commentary for the city that was once the mecca of the East for the clau-court pastime.
From reports coming from other quarters, tennis players throughout the land are practicing harder than ever before and already tournaments have been held, with many others scheduled. The North Carolina open was held last week and the Virginia open is being held this week at Portsmouth, with some of the ranking players as participants. We are interesting to follow the fortunes of our leaders in these sectional tournaments. The results will have a very direct bearing on the nationals.

Minor league and unorganized baseball is taking a walloping this year, and don't let anyone tell you differently. Of course, there are a few isolated instances in which some clubs are making money, but the large number of clubs that are looking at the red, outweighs these up. Up in New England a white six-club league was forced to disband after playing to the enormous crowds of 50 people per day. Some of the major league teams have suffered too, and it is a safe bet that the local entry in the International League is not overflowing its coffers with money. High class ball played free by amateur clubs, the myriad other Sunday diversions and the lack of money to spend on amusements are all cutting in on the gate receipts. Crowds have been so small at Maryland Park this summer that the Black Sox owner, in an effort to cut expenses, was forced to let Mule Suttles, crack first baseman and home run king, go back to St. Louis last week.

New Yorkers Hit Freely as Silk Sox and Chester Bow, 15-1 and 13-5.
SMITH LEADS HITTERS
Bill Holland and Rector Hurl Airtight Ball.
NEW YORK--If the Lincoln Giants keep up their present record of running up big scores, they will set a new scoring mark before the season closes.
Sunday, they made a total of 28 runs against the Paterson Silk Sox and the Tampa Bay, nine—the only two white clubs to defeat them on the season. The Giants were revenge Sunday, however, as they defeated Chester by a score of 15-1 and the Silk Sox 13 - 5.
Holland was in great form for the first game and let the Pennsylvania team down with three scattered hits. In the second contest, Parrell also pitched great ball for the Lincoln, holding the Sox scoreless until the match.
Smith Leads Hitters
S Smith had a perfect game at bat against Paterson, making 6 hits in 6 trips to the plate. At home run, he made two doubles. Home runs were made by Yancey, Thomas and Campany in the nightcap.
The attraction at Protectory Oval for Sunday, July 6, will be the Stars of Cuba in a double-header. They also have a victory to their credit against the local team.

What the famous Ked can’t understand is how Al Singer was selected to do battle with Sammy Mandell for the world’s lightweight championship when he holds a decision over Al Singer. It’s been promoted, and matchmaker at the Flatbush ball park, when the latter visited him at camp. “I beat Singer, and they gave him a chance at the title. I can’t understand it. The Ked will force the winner of that one into the ring or the public will regard him as champion.
“I wont a title and I’m going to get one. I know I can beat any of those 135-pound boys, and if you think I’m too confident just get me to win. I can’t anything on band right now.”

Hayes was bested by Russell in the nightcap, bunched hits giving the white nine an advantage that the Sox could not overcome. In the third inning, with the bases loaded and only one out, Russell made Lundy and Wilson hit to the infield, making easy outs and preventing any scoring in that frame. In the final inning, the Black Sox made a bid as Warfield singled, following Lee and Flournoy's failure to connect safely. Dick Lundy, however, skied out.
Hayes allowed nine hits while Russell scattered three over the seven-inning route.

Offered Godfrey $50,000 to Cararner Interests Proposed Or fornia, but Changed Plans Aft
EFFORTS NOTE. — The writer, quoted in this article, is a close friend of Jimmy Dougherty, Godfrey's manager.
Some interesting slants on the Godfrey-Carnera bout in Philadelphia, are given in a special article by T. Von Ziekursch, of the Philadelphia Daily News.
Expressing his sorrow for Jimmy Dougherty, Godfrey's manager, who could have made a fortune, but "burned it down for the sake of his principles," Mr. Zlekursch says:
"Up to about the third round of that battle the other night old Jim believed most firmly he had the one really heavy weight in the world. He knew Godfrey was drifting along toward the end of his career. He knew the Black Shadder had reached that stage where he would not, or could not, train into real condition, the fighting condition that would carry a monstrous body over 10 or 15 rounds of fast, hard ring battle. He knew also that Godfrey was capable for a half minute or so of tough going in each round. He admitted that much to me before the fight. But he didn't believe the man lived who could stand up during that half minute of tough going with Gwge.
"The ancient Baron was convinced his Black Shadder still packed the punch, the boxing skill and sufficient stamina to carry his enormous strength through against any heavyweight in the world.
Two Big Bids Made
"They offered him $75,000 to have Gawge take a dive to Max Schmelzel and take $5000 and have it on the level. That ended the negotiations.
"The rods of finance were not so kind of money when the one bid came along for one of those things I suspect he was tempted. That next bid called for about $10,000, I agreed that either take a dive or lose on a decision to Carrera.
The negotiations went on at some length. It was to have been staged in California originally because almost anything goes in California. But the mess Carnera not himself in with Leon Chevalier there used to be the whole question of whether to put it in New Jersey or Michigan, the two states where there would be least trouble in case of a stink.

Stocks, Thompson, Turner and Weir Loom Big as Contenders for 1930 Title.
DATE IS AUGUST 18
Indianapolis Racquet Club to be Hosts to Annual Meet.
By TED CABLE (For the ANP)
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—With the advent of hot weather, the interest of sport levers all over the country is focusing on the National Tennis Championship of the A.T.A. at Indianapolis in August.
The names of Stocks of California, Saitch and Thompson, of New York, Graham of Cleveland, and Edgar Brown, the present National Champion of Chicago, all bring thrilling memories to those who attended the annual event the past two years.
The unexpected and decisive defeat of Stock by Brown in the final last year, the opinion of many is that the youthful fast-coming lad from California will batter and drive his way to the coveted championship in
Ted Thompson Feared
There is always to be feared the sparking and determined games of Ted Thompson and Syr Salkin. In fact, the play at Bordentown in 1925 revealed so many contenders of real championship calibre that this season's session is bound to prove and reinforce the bucket regardless of what it turns out.
Public Anxious
The public anticipates eagerly the appearance of two sterling competitors who were absent last year. One is Douglas Turlin, Illinois, who was runner-up to John McCarthy. The other is Reginald Weir, New York City, who has improved an already splendid game by intensive study and play during his stay in Paris last year. No other event has assembled such a team, and the nation as before the championship of the A.A.A. in the past few seasons.
At Cross Roads of Nation
Indianapolis bids fair to attract more tennis fans to this tournament than any other city selected thus far, due to its more central location at the cross road to the main stadium, a feature of Indianapolis Ranquet Club expects to find itself host to the most brilliant and interesting assemblage this far. The club will be here August 18 at Douglass Park Court, one of the finest in the country.
"I ultimately it was decided to bring
the draw at the gate
would be." greater.
He Couldn't Do It
"With arrangements all completed, Baron Jim couldn't spare his own conscience. The entire boxing world might be playing with him, and fakes, but the old Baron wanted none of it. I suspect he was tempted by the prospect of a fight in a week or so before the fight, especially since he knew his Black Shadder was heading for the place from which they never return—at the end of the fight. He was tempted because he came to me with all the details and asked my advice. He turned down the $50,000 an sent Godfrey in there to go on the level with $10,000 as the reward, and this not enough to pay the debts of Godfrey & Co. incurred during the fight of noights or fights for small nurses.
Carnera Not Hurt
"In my mind there is not the slightest doubt that Godfrey fouled Cannera deliberately, that he turned out to be part Newfoundland, that he was in the first round when Godfrey lammed home his best. But there is also no doubt that Cannera was equally gully and deliberately put on the act of pre-vening, that he was verbiolic in a punch that wouldn't have inexpacted an old lady.
The Fake Angle
"If it hadn't been for the way in which Godfrey whinned over his right with everything he had on it and it sounded like a law in the finked court, if it hadn't been for the wicked left hooks Gawne stuck on the Primo's jaw a dozen times, punches that were harder than Gawne had been inclined to believe the fight was a dellorate fake.
"The foul is one of the favorite methods of the act. Also, I can't be the faint that Garnera is a million-dollar attraction, and Godfrey, even had he won by a knockout would never be allowed to get in the bit money.
"But the Godfrey drove home in those first three rounds carried entirely too much dumbbell. Gawne was carry the Primo to lose on a foul."

BARNYARD GOLF
Horseshoe pitchers over the state have begun in earnest their preparation for competition in the sectional tournaments which will end in the second annual statewide tournament to be held in Baltimore late next month. Perfection of the one-turn pitch has been of principal concern among the four twirlers of the equine footwear, according to reports received here. Practice on regulation courts has convinced many that the sliding shoe" used for the clay courts, not for the clay courts and as a result many of the aces who excelled at the dirt courts, are changing their style. Here in Baltimore the Hall brothers have been busy compelling each other on their own court and at Drudl Hill Park there are many athletics practicing daily. Officials of the Playground Athletic League report that shoes will be available to use at the Motto playground on Pennsylvania Avenue within a short time.
Already in some of the Maryland counties, horseshoe clubs have been established in association shoes and scheduling interclub matches in preparation for the sectional play which will determine the divisions of that county in the state finals. While the date for the start of play throughout the state has not been determined, the clubs have begun not later than the third week of the current month.
Court Makes Ruling on Ducking Blinds
A decision of importance to Maryland game hunters is contained in a recent opinion handed down in the Court of Appeals, regarding the creation of a game hunters' board. The opinion, in brief, as translated by E Lee Lecompte, state game warden, is as follows.
Riparian owners, before they can legally hunt, must before blinding blind on any of the waters of this State, must have the legal amount of shore front to comply with the law, namely:
on the waters of all counties, except in the tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay and in the tributaries of the Potomac River in Charles County and in the tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay, said blinds shall not be less than two hundred fifty yards apart. Therefore, riparian owners in said sections must have two hundred blinds, they would be legally entitled to establish a ducking blind off shore.

Unless conditions change considerably, there is one more, or possibly two Sox players who will get the axe. Jobless but are almost as thick as the professional athletes and just as helpless. This is one year, the owners have the players practically the same year, and they know it.
The weakened Black Sox team, however, is still strong. Eggleton taking first base and Script Lee the outfield. Were I manager of the club (and you're glad I'm not) I would shift Wilson back to the first station and trot Eggle over to the hot corner. There are no charges for this suggestion.

"He is an honor student but runs a faster half mile than any high school boy in the East. He can do a 23 3-5 seconds furlong, a 52 seconds quarter mile and a 4:36 mile, although he is in this article solely because he won the P.S.A.L. 880-yard championship in 2:00-2-5, the best time recorded since Otto Rosner set the present record of 1:59 1-5 in 1926.

Paint. Houses
"See limits his tri-weekly practice to half an hour because he works every afternoon painting the houses of neighbors in New Brighton, Staten Island, where he lives. He hopes to make enough to pay for his college tuition in this way.

Walker Won't Fight Blacks?
NEW YORK. (ANP)—When questioned as to the possibility of Harry Smith, the colored middleweight champion, meeting Melissa Kendrick, a representative of the champion's manager is alleged to have told a local white writer that "Walker would not fight any black man for the title." He own comment to the situation thus created, the writer for whom local fans and fighters have a very wholesome respect, says, "Walker forgets that he stole the fight. He was in several shades darker than Smith, who is far from being black."

Confused from Page Eleven
night. like a fleeing deer!
"After her!"
By the time the men ascertained in high direction she had fled, she waa. many yards ahead. They plunged in that direction. She led them, dodging through trees and shrubbery, across vast lawns, over a hedge that separated two estates—and then vanished around the corner of a resilient brilliant light cut through the darkness, then disappeared again as a door shammed Mrs Hathaway disappeared through this door.
A moment later the detectives, too, had passed through that same door. The white-coater' house-man, greatly impressed by Meekins' badge and automatic, let out a soft gasp and obediently remained silent while Holm and Wade stole up a staircase toward rising fogs.
"You killed Mr. Mitchell, Reynolds!" a feminine voice was screaming.
Then through the hinge crack of a half-open door, the officers were looking into a dimly lighted bedroom. The could see Mrs. Hathaway standing there in the middle of the floor glaring down at a man, who lay stretched out on the bed—obviously a tall man, of mysterious age, with the mark of fear stamped on his startled brown face. "What in the nell are you doing here. Madge?" he spat.
"You've killed the best friend I bad!" she screamed again.
"What! Are you crazy?"
"Insane! Dog!-you weren't satisfied at having ruined my life; no, you'd have let me gone to the electroshock."

The woman shook in a blind rage. "Y u lle!" she hissed.
"Mr. Mitchell had you under his thumb; owned the very bed you lay on. I've been a tool, Reynolds! When my husband died, you attracted me and I left-ruined me with your black lies and blacker promises. You grew colen when I quit producing hundred dollar bills, didn't you, Reynolds?-because you knew I had more.
"Oh, how I thank Mr. Mitchell for opening my eyes! Yes. You tasted me as well as Mr. Mitchell, Reynolds, the say, and meant for me to pay for it."
The man lay with his teeth bared, like fangs. The woman stepped closer. "I was Edna Gibbs who sent that message over my phone, wasn't it?" she cooled viciously."-Another of your tools. She told you I was leaving, too, didn't she? I was visit me!", Lister Reynolds, I'm going to kill you!" She made a swift movement. It was over in a second. A little Pearl-handled pistol flashed in her hand. Reynolds grabbed it and hurled her backwards, cursing fiercely. Another lightning movement and his own gun was about to snuff out her life—but detective Holcombs' gun spoke first and Reynolds shumped back to the bed with a bullet through his

For the Gardener
Delicate scents exuding from flower gardens may irritate some persons afflicted with hay fever, but to many gardeners the height of success is attained when they are able to fill their yards with fragrant odors from their flowers.
Flowers vary greatly in the amount of potency in fragrance. Some of the varieties most prized because they are as colorful a display as other plants. The shrubs most prized for their fragrance include flowering cherries, French hybrids lilies, common type syringes, lilies, common type syringes, mock orange, sweet pepper bush, strawberry shrub, butterfly bush, vanhoutten spirea and the many kinds of roses. The flowers, flower experts refer to the roses, honeysuckle, magnolia, carnation, petunia, apple blossom and violet; the pungent and woodlike odor of ferns; the faintly resinous odor of lilies; the fragrance of spirea, bergamot, santolina, lavender, blue spirea and lemon scented thyme; and the wholesome fragrance of new mown hay. The flowers are filled with delisies and buttercups.
White flowers in general seem to be the most sweet scented. This includes lavender, lavender plant, mallow flower vine, petunia, tuberose and plantain lily. Even primrose and four 'o'clocks which run in the same fragrance are amples. Wines which add to a fragrant garden include the wistaria, the climbing roses, the jasmine and the rose.

BY NATURE I was a daring and adventurous person. As a boy, I remember, I was the first youngster in our set to change from tricycle to bike, the first to own a motorcycle and an automobile.
There was something about the hum of a motor that fascinated me. And speed—well I soon acquired a list of names such as "The Flash," "Speed Demon," and others that made me known to every speed cop around home in Bellville. So it was natural and expected that I should turn to aviation. But my mother at first would not consent to this new and risky fad.
"There's too much danger, Philip. I'm afraid. Anything could happen up there and it would mean death to you."
"Not with a good plane, mother. No traffic to worry with. Just yourself, your plane and limitless space." And so I won mother over as I always did. Dad, who had become wealthy through the ownership of oil land in Oklahoma, died when I was ten year old, so I had been solely under her care when a boy mostly needs the guiding influence of a father. Her idea of proper training was to satisfy my every whim. Dear indulgent mother. She meant well but the very fact that my every wish had been granted made me think that I should always receive first consideration.
It did not take long for me to master the intricacies on an airplane. I had a knack for it. I soon became a pilot, one of the first Negro pilots ever licensed for the Bessie Coleman air Air Line that carried passengers on short trips and sight-seeing tours. I took my own private plane out at the field and when there were no trips to make (an. that was often for our people were not airminded) I spent my spare time up in my plane practicing different stunts. When there was nothing to do I went to the hangar for my parine. Joe Stevenson, one of the mechanics, was looking it over.
"I'm going to take her out and give her a trial this morning, Joe."
A Fool-hardy Risk
"You'd better wait a while, Philip," he cautioned, "until I finish looking it over." No use or that. She sailed like a old-fashioned. Perfect take-off, perct. landing." Just the same I'd advise you to w-it.
Joe was giving me good advice but I always been impatient. He was thorough and careful, one who could be depended upon at all times, nevertheless his very opposition made me all the more determined. I was sure to trust to luck "Contact!" I yelled as I climbed into the cockpit. My take-off was good. My plane, called "Vanity," I took the air and sailed smoothly over the hill, headed due north. I felt a sense of exhilaration. The motor roared as the plane cut its way through the air. I turned the plane back south and was soon over the hill, landing when my plane came a little stunt all its own.
The controls "froze." The plane went into a "tail-spin and in a few seconds I was plunged into it." Now most accidents of this sort are fatal and probably mine would have been had it not been for the quick action of Pearl Nelson, who was first to reach me and pull me from beneath the wreckage. She worked with superhuman effort for the realized the danger. I had been dragged away none have been buried, and finally burst into flames leaving only the twisted black metal frame. I was rushed over to the hospital. Besides being badly shaken, have several of my ribs broken I had some severe cuts about my face and head.
For once in my life I was subjected to discipline. So unacustomed to such restraint. I was eager to get out.
One Sunday afternoon Joe accompanied by a girl friend came to see me. The girl was like a beautiful brown princess, tall and stately. She looked as though she were immune to fear; and she was really in love with Joe. One could see her glance. While Joe fully worshiped the ground, while Joe talked on. I probably have given her another thought had it not been for Joe's remarks. Beautiful girls were no rarity to me.
"Gee, it's too bad for you to be laid up like this, Phil. But you know I warned; you before you went up." That angered me. If there is anything I hate, it's to have some one try. I told you so."
Then the girl piped up. "Yes, Joe usually knows what he's talking about." They did not stay long and I was gld. Inside I was boiling: I was furious. Joe was smiling: he was angry. Joe knew it all. Well, we'd see. I thought. I didn't want the girl. Wouldn't have her (even though I had to admit she was a beauty) but I determined to take her away. Joe made me throw her into his face. I show her the two of them something. But I reckoned without the girl. Being rather goodlooking and possessing a finely built muscular pluvisse. I had not had any trouble fascinating the opposing hand, but much more subtle after, since in addition to these physical attraction: my checking account at one of the most prominent local banks was large and I didn't mind spending. Usually if I danced with the same girl several times in one evening she wanted to send sentimentality, it was more often bored than flattered.
But Marjorie had eyes and smiles for only Joe. "This aroused in me the awe-old humour instinct. I wanted her to want me."
"You won't fly any more now, will you, Philip?" mother asked with anxiety. "Certainly shall. Accidents can harm you."
happen anyway. I again at the field. Marjorie came out several times to see Joe but as he was usually busy it was Joe but who did most of the entertaining. Marjorie accepted me as a good friend and that was just what I wanted her to do. Joe was not suspicious, so I had a free hand.
I Take Advantage of Marjorie's
Friendship
I began dropping in at her home in a casual manner; asking her in an inadvertent way to go for a ride in an amusement park and she admired some trinket of jewelry or a dainty article in an art shop. I sent it to her the next day by special messenger. When she protected, I would explain it as a "gift between friends". This would have turned most girls' heads but it didn't intrigue me. I was at a party one night that Marjorie three fuel upon the flame

She meant well but the very been granted made me think first consideration.
Joe had to work so he could not attend. I, a usual; was very attentive to the details. I lavished on lows and I took this for encouragement. After dancing a while we walked out on the veranda. She was ur. suitely quiet. "Isn't the matter, Marjorie?" I asked. "Lorem, Phil, I suppose."
JessieSmith, Ph.D. pride, was not used to having girls admit that they were lonesome in my company. "You can't afford to be lonesome on a night like this, sweet." "You aren't trying to get mushy are you Pnnt? she asked as she looked up at me quickly in surprise. "I'm sin serious. Marjorie, I love you." "But you know there Joe."
"I can't help it: Marjorie. I love you." I tried to take her in my arms. She held me back amd said in iy tones. "I don't play at love making, Phi." "Neither do I, Marjorie. But I love you, love me." She laughed. And that laugh was like a slap in the face. It was a trunt. You don't love me now, but you will. I make you. I want you and I always get what I want." "Well, Philip Napoleon met his Waterloo, so it won't hurt you to meet yours. Maybe it will knock some of that cock-sureness and pride out of you." She turned and retraced her steps back to the house. I stayed outside alone. It seemed that I really loved her now. I thought I should have everything I wanted. Therefore I must have Marjorie.
The next morning I saw outside the office at the aviation field. I was still thinking of Marjorie and our disgracement of the night before.
"Why the scowling woman sounded close. I glance up on her standing near her. She was a dainty little thing. It was much easier to imagine her curled up on a divider in the cockpit of her plane doing a devil's dart or floatin' through the air swinging onto a frail parachute. One had to adhere her daring and yet one could never find him. I was all times a woman and a beautiful one, too. I had chummed around with her quite a bit and the more I knew her more I thought of her. "She laughed a bit but laterly I had neglected our friendship trying to interest Marjorie "Was I sowling, Pearl?" "Gez, is my boy friend that far condescend she laughed a little mirthless lash." "Far gonc on what? Who?" "Why a woman, of course. She was look 18 at me with eyes. You could see Pearl. She eyes that looked right through you."
I insisted to tell her of Marjorie. She sensed this. "Well, I began. I suppose since you be you I could at least tell you." She stopped me short. "Don't do it from a sense of duty or gratitude. You cane me nothing. But if I can tell you," she stuffed her hands into the pocketes of her knickers and sauntered over to her plane.

I would have to issue invitations for an aeroplane press. The novelty of it was a short trip over the city in a plane after luncheon. After we had dined we motored out to the field. We drove large thie and gold thing, stood round it, Iighed it. I named her "Vanil II."
Several members of our party had been up and it was now Marjorie's turn.

"Maribell's game" cried Tessia Rowen who had already been up. "She's afraid."
I saw Maribell's lips tighten and a resolute look came into her face. She came slowly over to the side of the plane and Joe helped her in. I was amazed by how far away I had away frm the plane. The motor started and we were soon taxing down the field. The ground sank from beneath us as we climbed up, up, up until we reached a dizzy altitude. He reached my plane due north at the edge of sight. "Where are we going?" the frightened and scarcely audible words of Maribell reached me.
I did no. even reply. After a while I glanced back over my shoulder. Maribell was a pathetic figure.

I brought the plane down about fifty miles from home. The motor was still running. The noise is this Philip: "Maribell asks, defiantly."
"But you are a fail. What will the people say? What will Joe think? You must take me back right away." Joe said, and I could plenty if you don't change your mind—and Joe—who cares what he thinks?
"You beast," she cried and slapped me a stinging blow across the face, and I watched her hands on me I'll run into that propeller." And suiting the action to the words she started for the whirlwind, "Don't Marjorie—for God's sake don't!" I cried as I ran after her. She sped like a deer and had nearly reached the madly whirling "prop" when she turned her ankle and fell down. I ran to her and picked her up. No sinner has ever been more repentant that? was at that moment for the foolhardy stunt I had tried
"Forgive me, Marjorie. I am a fool. We will go back home right now. I only wanted to scare you into throwing me over every wall. Everything I tell you back and tell them that we had to make a forced landing or anything. You: don't worry. I'll get you back." I lifted her into the air and took my seat at the controls. Dusk was settling over Bellville Air Field when I brought my ship down. The closer we came to earth, the more we felt the seat ceased. I did was to face the crowd that gathered around the plane. I wanted to dig a hole in the ground an go into it. We planed and after running, we vazed came to a stop. I turned to Marjorie.

A love that for their shines true and bright.

Serfs of Kalahari Tribe Thought Descendants of Early Dutch Traders
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa—Are children abducted, blood-mailed slain of the English-educated chief of the Kalahari Tribe descendants of early Dutch traders, lost for generations in the African desert, or are they more recently acquired serfs of the black tribes? This is the question facing officials who are investigating the report of a tribe who was marooned with the tribe recently.
In Bondage
A most astounding story of whites of both sexes, half clothed, who have never heard a single rumor of the World War and only one of whom had ever heard a battle, a piload, who been living in bondage to the African tribesmen, has come from the traveler, who made the discovery forced by a terrific storm to seek shelter in a native village in the
According to the man, he was hospitably received by the chief, who summoned a number of whites to administer to his wants. The chief described them as his serts and that he had inherited from his parents. He was unable to tell how long the slaves had been owned by his tribe, but related a circumstantial story that the whites were descendants of a Dutch traders, who had trekked into the Kalahari desert. Indications are that disease, carnivorous animals and bushmen had so reduced the band, that the white African tribe had been able to capture the survivors and make slaves
According to the traveler, the slaves were not dissatisfied with dom and when offered relief declared that they preferred to stay where they

PREJUDICE STEPS IN TO HALT SORORITY AWARD
Colorado Teachers' College President Abolishes Scholarship Cup.
ALPHAS PROTEST
Negro Sorority Won too Of ten to Please Whites.
GRELEEY, Colo.—When the Alpha Kappa chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority so consistently scored higher average, than the white chapters, thus winning the scholarship cup awarded to the women Greek letter organization having the highest average, the award was abolished by President Frazier of the Colorado Teachers College, here, recently.
At the close of the first quarter of the college term, it was found that the Alpha Kappa Alpha was eligible with an average of 3.76. At the close of the winter session the same sorority tied with the Phi Delta Theta, white, sorority for first place, with an average of 3.52. At the close of the Spring term, the announcement was made that no cwp would be awarded.
Investigation Made
Hertofore, the day set aside for the awarding of the trophy was one of the most prestigious affairs. When the award failed to be made an investigative by the Alpha Kappa Alpha began. When an inquiry made, President Abraham "lifted" that the cup was given through the Fan-Helene Council, although it was awarded by him (the president) who had the final decision. The Fan-Helene Council subsequently told the sorority representatives that inasmuch as the Alpha Kappa Alpha was not a member of the trophy, the cup couldn't be awarded them.
Admits Prejudice
Regarding the matter, an article in the Teachers' College Mirror, the school paper, said that Alpha Kappa Alpha. Neo social socrity, has once more a high scholastic rank among social sororites, will again arouse comment on the campus. For the scholarship be awarded to Alpha Kappa Alpha.
"But the reason for this seeming discrepancy is not the one which is being rumored about the campus—that is, race prejudice.
"There may be race prejudice on Teachers College campus but this particular situation is not proof of that.
"The facts of the case are these: The sorority scholarship cup is given to Sigma Epsilon and is awarded by the local Pan-Hellenic to a member of that organization."
"Alphia Kappa Alpha is a branch of a university sorority and cannot, therefore, have an organization on a teachers council. It may in the local Pan-Hellenic. It is, therefore, not eligible for the scholarship cup."
The cup, has, however, on previous occasions been awarded to non-Pan-Hellenic members. Again, the cup is considered the best school and is awarded by the president.
Withdraw Trophy
Following other investigations President Frazier finally admitted there was no reason why the cup had not been awarded, and the longest-bellied brittle the cup, that none of the other sororities (all the rest are white) ever prized the cup so high as to raise an inquiry about not receiving it—which was true, because that was never before done.
He later declared that the cup would no longer be awarded to anyone.

Dr. Havoc Emerson, chairman of the office Council's health work, said that their plight that Porto Rico has been caused by the American occupation of the Caribbean island. Natives used to have their own bits of land with gardens and chickens, but now the encroachment of the big sugar and tobacco plantation driven them off, and their nothing as agricultural laborers.
Island Densely Populated
Porto Rico, with 1,500,000 people on a small island, is more crowded than any part of the United States and landed industrial sections. But it is estimated that only 130,000 have paying jobs the year round. Even at crop time, the peas season, only 340,000 are emptied. But after the cutting, the sugar in harvests off 60 per cent of its workers.
The tobacco industry has reduced its workers by one-third in years, say Porto Rico in New York and fruit are other major plantation industries.

And now comes a letter from Noah C. A. Walter, 385 Edgerton Boulevard, New York, and student at Virginia State College, deploying the fact, that for a five ill-gained pennies, persons in charge of certain jobs will refuse work to deserving students, because these persons refuse to connive at illegal money-making schemes, in which rest and disarray, but who demand profits made from such schemes. It is a well known fact, that employers encourage students to railroad and summer resorts encourage the employment of students, many of whom are financing their education. There are many advantages in employing these young men, for not only does the employer get a high rate of compensation, high per cent of honesty, and pleasing personality are assured, but the employer himself is encouraged to youngsters, he is doing something of a philanthropic nature. Moreover, these jobs are seasonal jobs and the student are sea-
Mr. Walters claims that the most of these difficulties come from colored sub-heads under whom these students are taught. The majority of the employment of eleven students from Lincoln, Virginia State, Bluefield, Tallahassee, Hampton A. and T. Colleagues on the Steamship Cherokee, express line, by a reliable port steamer.
Mr. Walters says that the head waiter (colored) under whose arm sat three of the men as employees of the previous summer, who had refused to "troy off" a parrot in "melon dividends" who would not gamble and thus "lose" their money to the head waiter, and were therefore no monetary inter-

White Slavers are Menace to Girls Seeking New York Jobs
Aristocratic Neighborhoods Harbor Socially Depraved as Well as More Humble Communities. "Doctor's Assistant" Wanted to Take Nude Photo of Girl.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the third of a series of articles focusing on emploiemment problems facing your women come to New York City.
By EVA JESSYE
NEW YORK.—Do not be misled by aristocratic communities, for you will find the same dirt as in humbler neighborhoods, covered by a rich exterior.
Following the experiences related to the venture led me to the portals of a fine, exclusive, residential hotel on the beautiful Riverside Drive.
A steward attempted to bar the car. I attempted to enter the magnificent dwelling. He pointed to an entrance around the corner for entrance since I was not yet an employee, and stated that I was there by request for an interview with the manager, and immediately all courtesy and directed me to the proper apartment.
An old man of quiet bearing admired me, asked my age, whether married, living with me, of fact and professional but when he requested that I remove my hat so that he could see my hair the
It happened that Madam Walker had done all the could for me quite recently, and not to be too hard to credit. But evidently the doctor knew the natural goods when he saw it, for he offered them to me. He provided other applications as a matter of courtesy" and took my telephone number.
"I loved to Empty Apartment."
The lawyer me this story had become hardened to the crafty evil of the big metropolis, and said this experience taught him to be careful with addresses. A foreign voice gave her an address far out in the Bronx. The apartment was on the fourth floor. The apartment, she attributed it to common negligence and proceeded up the stairs. A man followed her from the fourth floor, the apartment, rushed up and introduced himself as the advertiser.
To her surprise the apartment was particularly empty. He had no furniture elsewhere. It was his intention, he explained volubly, to seize it and in selecting the furniture and superintend its arrangement in the flat.
Misunderstanding her silence, she waxed enthusiastic—and what a cosy retreat it would be. Realizing girl suited the action of the word.
Use Phone as Shield
The telephone is often used for a shield by those vultures. They are afraid without disclosing their own identity, and under this cover advance the most aberrant prophet, an English brogue asked whether she as maid, would be willing to give him his bath—not prepare him his bath—give it. He made his meaning explicit. When she indigently threatened to expose him, he turned loose a flood of ridiculous remembrance. The telephone conversation could not be traced. A well-known Harlem mall fashioned with embarrassment as told of the following telephone conversation when she answered an ad, in temporary need of employment. Judging from the voice, it was a mid-19th-century ad. He did not ask the usual preliminary questions, whether she was married or the sailor in his bed, whether she would "sleep-in" occasionally, so as to be available to his son when pleased. The son was fourteen years old.
Ask Sex Questions
But by far the most startling story was that told by a girl who advertised in a Sunday paper for work in a doctor's office, stating stenographic ability, education and experience.
The next day she was called over the telephone by a man who stated that he was calling for Dr. of the Roosevelt Hospital. He then began to fire away with questions of the most astonishing and repulsive nature. Questions too intimate for print, which were most certainly conceived by a dependent mind.
Inquisit as her sexual experience, whether she had ever been a mother or at least in that condition, were made much in the manner of one collecting official data.
He wanted to know her exact weight, color, and whether of attractive figure. He stressed the matter of her health, explaining that it was imperative that she be without disease or physical imperfection of any kind, as it was the rule of the hospital that employees be examined periodically and "the Doctor" would be dreadfully embarrassed should anything be found the matter with his assistants.
Finally he desired to know whether the girl would object to his coming to the home and taking a photograph of her, perfectly nude, so as to submit it to the "doctor."
The girl made an appointment for him to call the next day, then inpatient, and arrest the man. But the fellow was too slick to be thus caught. The girl observed a flashily dressed man strolling back and forth across the street and casually glancing in the street. He pointed of vantage across the street, he saw the policeman enter her house and he further insured in that vicinity. Inursed by a natural curiosity, the girl called the hospital and was in connection with the staff, but he had no use whatever for a private assistant of any kind, and therefore had to person to secure a secretary for him. The telephone transaction was evidently an attempt by the policeman to use the saint's name and position as a deco. Variable? Yes, and these are things the employment-seeking girl encounters daily in New York. We dread to think of the cases in which girls are arrested of these monsters and lost forever.
Some Visit Homes
The applicant is justified in becoming suspicious when would-be-employee be-employed, and therefore self-serves to call upon the advertiser or the applicant at her dwelling place. He must visit it and immediately proves his motives ulterior. He takes this means to find whether the girl is protected, her financial condition and health, and the times he has no office or establishment of any kind. In one case a shabby dressed man is suspected of residence. The young woman herself
a Trick on Us
If medical authorities can be depended upon it is no longer absolutely necessary for kids to suffer from chickenpox, measles, whooping cough or what-have-you, as it was thought to be when you and I were in the wash! wash! stage.
It looks to me like somebody played a dirty trick on us oldsters when we were youngsters. In those days if you did not contract a dozen or so child diseases before you were big enough to dress yourself you were an object of pity and folks sympathized with your mother until she even looked upon you with suspicion.
When an epidemic of something or other broke out in the community and you were fortunate enough not to be stricken you were looked upon as a sort of black sheep and you would have such a guilty conscience that you would only show your face at mealtime if you could muster the courage to face the scowls of the rest of the family.
No Sympathy Then
Instead of feeling sorry for you when you were broken out, you should be swelled up with the mumps, everybody would have a look of complete satisfaction and feel relieved that you had reached milestone on the maturity. In the days when large broods were affected your social standing in the community, to have a child or two die was considered a part of life, nor affected your social standing to bound one of them, the neighbors would say with the same sort of expression the spring hatching of chickens, and even the minister would try to cover up the incompetence of the family doctor, "The elephant and the Lord taken away."
Pearl of Great Price
Well, the kids are getting a break at last, and both the doctors and parents know that babies who inherit the slightest bit of backbone from their old men will pull through anything if you give them half a chance.
Fourth of July.
While the modern adolescents have the advantage of us in being able to evade their share of measles, they are still in the form in celebrating the Fourth of July. Back in the gay nineteen ten, elevenes and twelves, before the foot-steps of the foot-steps with the slightest degree of patriotism could blow his head off with a giant firecracker if he chose, and there was not one to raise a youth. With all due respect to modern youth, I don't think they love what we do, and we are much as we who came along before the war did. Of course, the fact that the country isn't half as decent as we then may have a chance to do with it.
One of the reasons why America won the war (a statement because the thoughts were well versed in throwing hand grenades from the old Fourth of July battle, because the people and making them jump. The thing that worries us about these celebrations is a policeman is sneaking around ready to pounce on every kid with a cap pistol, is what will we do tomorrow? The generation of soldiers' only idea of powder is what their mammals use on their noses. That powder and paint have caused considerable more misery than powder and shot, especially of rouge will recall that spirit of '76 like the good skyrockets of bogye days, and instill that idea of powder. Of course, many might advance the theory that we could send a couple of men as a two-men expeditionary force and let them wipe out the best, armies of Europe by putting them in battle and making while possible has its shortcomings.
It would reduce the number of students who except to get a free trip to Europe, would leave us with practically nothing to brusque about after the next war. Any war that doesn't leave us with twenty or thirty years is practically no war at all. We would raise a generation of red-blooded fighters by instilling in them the theory that the birthday of our nation should be celebrated by drinking pink lemonade is big and better, greckracters.

She was running towards us as she问:“What happened? Where have you beer?”
I mumbled something about "motor trouble" and lifted Marjorie from the chair. "What happened to Marjorie?" someone asked.
"What an ankle," she answered. "Oh, you had to make a force binding. Phil?" Joe asked. "We should have gone over the plane more thoroughly." I felt worse than ever. Here we good old dependable Joe blaming himself for something that had caused the other flights we postponed because of the approaching darkness and the condition of the plane that had been a huge success but to me it had been a total flop.

"Words that I would have uttered without hesitancy two weeks before I was born," he said. "We were good chums again, but I longed to be something else. I wanted to be a teacher and yet I couldn't force myself to ask for the privilege. I felt unworthy. Something unusual for me since before. I had considered myself better than most people. Probably I would never have taken courage, not not been for the follow-up incident. A passenger plane had just aligned fro .chicago. The pilot, a tall bronzed, good-looking came, came
"Is Miss Nelson here today?" he asked.
"I find her for you."
I started to notify Pearl of the visitor. I went first to the office. She was not there. As I started in the hanger, I heard Pearl voice.
"Oh Bill!"
Looked at the arm of the pilot. Sick at the air I re-entered the office. It was empty, and for once I was stared at the plane stared with unseeing eyes out of the window. The mental picture of Pearl in the arm of another man was ill. She had a plane stared a plane start off down the field. Somehow I had always thought of Pearl as not loving anybody. I felt she had a plane start off down the field. There was no more infatuation on my part—it was love and abiding. And she loved another.

MINERS ARE HIT HARD BY UNEMPLOYMENT
Closing Down of West Virginia Mines Causes Poverty Among Many.
MACHINERY BLAMED
(Staff Correspondent of the AFROC CLARBURG, W.Va.-Unemployment among miners throughout the West Virginia and Pennsylvania coal regions is causing much concern, and already a group of young Pittsburgh men are organizing a coal mining company as a starter toward the alleviation of present conditions. This encouraging sign, while small, has been pointed to by fanfested business men as one of the most forward men in this district.
Miners Wasted Money
All throughout the coal region, particularly in West Virginia, one finds hundreds and hundreds of unemployed miners. These miners were employed in the years 1911 and 1918, at that time earned as high as twelve and twenty dollars per day but failing to put their money to use, found a job in the mines began to shut down. The use of mine machinery in the mines in which Nebraska may secure employment has reduced the number of some mines are affording only two days employment per week to the men. In some few instances men are able work from three to four days from the days of high wartime waages.
Seek to Reduce Machines
One can travel for miles and miles and see deserted mills and gliopedated barracks and shades. In some quarters that the owners reduce the amount of machinery and employ more machines, they still meet with the approval of the money-grabbing employers who are now reaping a harvest from cheap labor.
"Why, Phil, of all silly things," know it me better, to you for girls, but I'm not playing with so many girls, but I'm not playing now. We usually can't see gold if it's mills. We are too scary looking at the tinsel-

Pat to Pansy
Flagg's Hotel at Highland Beach Crowded with Weekend Guests. Book-a-Month Club's Enjoyable Outing. Society Gossip. Dear Bansy:
It's too hot to think, let alone write, and it's prostrating to even consider the Fourth's week-end parties. The summer school is opening. Summer schools are opening. Vacational Bible Study classes for the kiddies begin next week. The swimming pools and bathing beaches are swamped with folk seeking relief at the heat.
Soon the city will be quieted down to normal for everybody that can go to the farm or at some country farm or seaside resort. While still others will be taking courses at various outlying colony towns, the things they have taken place.
At Highland Beach
With nearly two hundred guests registering at Flagg's Hotel on Sunday, Highland Beach had its full share of the summer colony from New York, Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore.
Cottages, too, all along the waterfront flung open their doors and the verandas were crowded with relatives and friends from everywhere.
The scene, Pansy, dear, on the beach was ever so colorful with ladies just tempting the men folk with envy, in their gorgeous display of bathing costumes. sport attire and their afternoon frocks.
But, dearie, the beautiful women the good looking gents, the lure of the bay, the bathers basking on the silvery sands were for the time, a thing of the past, when the delicious odors of fried chicken, sugar-cured ham, fresh country vegetables, cozed out from the beautiful dining hall of the Flagg Hotel and reached the nostrils of the bathers and spectators all along the beach.
A few make a story short, dearie if rumor is correct, the Flags are anticipating building a screened-indancing pavilion annex to their hotel for the pleasure of their boarders. On how, what then, and how!
Anyway, sighted among the Battl-
moreans down on the beach were, Dr
Louise Young and her mother and
dad; Dr. and Mrs. Howard Young
Robert and Ewell Carr, sons of Mr.
and Mrs. Walter Carr, sons of Mr.
and Mrs. Browne and Bennle, Jr.

Ministers Almost Kill Motion which Bars them as Managers.
Rev. E. W. White says they are Yellow.
The question of who would manage the business, if one was started, nearly caused the economic relief program, sponsored by the Baptist Ministers' Conference, to hit a snag. Monday.
A committee sent out to draft a memorial to be presented to the fraternal organizations of the city, asking them to join in a project that would furnish employment for Negro boys and girls, caused considerable discussion. A paragraph in resolution as drawn by the Ray E. W. White, pastor of the President Baptist Church, read: "As ministers we have, together to lead or hold and situations in any business concern, but seek to serve as an inspiration to others." A storm of protest arrose on this phrase and the resolution was not adopted until it was stricken out.
Immediate Aid
The Rev. Junius Gray, father of the movement, and the Rev. White, fought to have it retained as an evidence of the ministers' good faith, but the Rev. J. S. Phillips, dean of Northern University; Rev. R. C. Williams, and Rev. Ward D. Yerby would not pass the resolution to the objectional passage was deleted. The Rev. Luki challenged the sensitivity of the body by secure immediate employment for students of the vocational school, they could do so by helping him to enlarge the establishment where he is already employing a number. He declared that he could put twenty-five persons to work at once to enlarge his cleaning and dyeing plant, which he resigned the pastorate of the Trinity Baptist Church to establish. The Rev. A. J. Payne, H. Young and each of the Rev. Gray pledged $100 to aid the project.
Flays Lynching
The Rev. E. W. White, in giving a report on current events, took the white ministers to task. Among other things he said:
"Mob after mob continue to be published in the daily press, but President Hoover and the white ministry are still as mute as the police, and law enforcement they continue to prate and write long phased articles. In one
hand they hold righteousness, morality and goodness, and in the other they hold sin, prostitution and rape. No wonder they can't get respect for
"Their appeals and prayers to God must make Him sick at the stomach. I believe in prohibition, and stand for no repeal of the Eighth Amendment, but when Hoover and white men of the cloth come around talking about morality and righteousness and respect for the law, in the face of segregation, mobocracy and open prostitution, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and the Constitution, which guarantees justice domestic, tranquility, defense, and the promotion of liberty, happiness and security, must be rightfully held. All knowing little they respect the law, when they come to you to ask you to use your influence with the moral element and help to enforce prohibition, one can hardly restrain himself from saying: 'To help with the prosecutions of justice and fundamental problems of justice and equity are rotten to the core.'
Rev. Williams Speaks
The Rev. Simon Williams, pastor of Faith Baptist Church, was the first man given an unqualified vote of thanks and his sermon was passed without discussion and criticism of the conference. The Rev. W. W. Allen presided.

NEGRO STUDENTS ARE GROWING CYNICAL
NEGRO STUDENTS ARE GROWING CYNICAL
"American Opportunity" is
Farce to Black Youth, Says
Howard Dean.
Miss Slowe Speaks Out a Interracial Conference.
OBERLIN, Ohio. "Can the Negro student think enthusiastically and sincerely that America is a land of opportunity for every individual when he knows from experience that it is a land of white opportunity?" demanded Miss. Sue Johnson, dean of Howard University, in an address to the Church Women's Interracial Conference, in session here, June 20.
Miss Slowe said:
"The background and training of the Negro youth of the twentieth century is almost identical with the background of the black students. He attends the same or similar schools; pursues the same curricula; he engages in the same sports; wears the same kind of clothes; lists to his students the same movies. In other words, except for the barrier of color, the Negro student has merged into the American student, the average student does. "From his background as an American and his training in college, the Negro student must "be a living; (2) the problem of his relations to his community and his country; (3) the problem of his ethical or religious life; (4) his cultural life or of his employment.
"Theoretically, since every man is born equal, his opportunity to use his talents has no limit. Hundreds of men have been trained to prominence through their training and character. Can the Negro student go out into his own land and achieve success through his training? Can he become our industrial, commercial and professional enterprises as a result of careful, patient and efficient training, supported by sterling characters? Does his color bar him from the majority of gainful occupations directed by private enterprises, but even the government itself bars him from its government because he is block insoluble.
"The Civil Service Commission demands a photograph of those who present themselves to fellow members of among Negroes that these photographs are used to keep them out of government service. He must take into consideration, into his thinking, how in spite of his color, he is able to participate. "Can an intelligent Negro student think proudly of his country when he knows that he cannot participate freely in governing himself? When he knows that he is taxed without his consent? "Since the Negro student encounters race prejudice in every major interest of his life, including earning his college degree, enjoying Christian fellowship, and in developing his cultural life, his attitude toward his white fellows in every walk, is one of the most questioning, distrust and disrust.
"How can we who we are interested in developing young people of up-surviving character defend our Christian principles of every Negro's life. How can we hope for the young Negro to respect his country and our Christian institutions if we stand helpless and impotent before the major problems
"It itens to me," said Miss Slose, in conclusion, "that those of us who call ourselves Christians must use concrete activities which make up the total of the daily life of every citizen of our country. It seems to me if civilization must they must take on a form as concrete as my hand."

TORONTO, Canada.—"The Negro suffers from the lack of a trained ministry," declared Dr. J. W. Eichlerberger, Jr., of Chicago, director of religious education in the A.M.E. Zion Church, at the recent session of the Interdenominational Council on Religious Education, held here, last week.
