IN "STEERAGE" Dr. Moton to See the President. By CARL MURPHY The Moton Commission for the study of Education in Hawaii arrived in New York early Monday morning on the S.S. Cristobal of the Panama Line. Their mode of travel did no credit to the United States or to President Herbert Hoover. Three of the five commissioners had quarters in stuffy staterooms below the two top decks, and during the first two nights of the trip, they were used severely from the heat. They referred joyfully to their quarters as the "steerage." The commission itself, which had looked forward to making use of the trip home to whip a preliminary report into shape, found that the boat could offer no facilities for quiet well; either for the commission as a group or for the individual mem- Quiet Place Sought commissioners who did work on the reports operated under different.

Commissioners who sought out the marts building were sent to bridge games going on constantly at nearby tables. Those who hoped for quiet in their deck chairs were again disappointed, for nearly one third of the passengers were children, whose parents were returning on vacation from the Canal Zone. Among this latter number was an entire troop of boy squadrons. Commissioners had expected that the State Department would have a naval ship placed at their disposal for the return home.

Of the thirteen presidents who have held office since ex-President Legitime was forced out of office August 72, 1889, and compelled to exile himself for six years, he was forced to leave, all except the 26th president, Borno, now exiled in France, dead. Generously enough. ex-President Legitime owes his sudden retirement from office and flight to Miami 41 years ago to the United States, which thrust its minister here, the late John Thompson, fomented a revolution by General M.

Heard and Seen in Haiti BY CARL MURPHY Pedestrians in Port au Prince haven’t as many autos to dodge as Baltimoreans, but these few they have here must all be dodged. Everybody sleeps under mosquito net. As in Cuba and the Canal Zone, Uncle Sam has nearly exterminated the mosquitoes. The men are sure here than in Jersey or at Sparrows Point. Politics is the main theme in all the tables on what should be the sit-walk and drink beer, wine, whiskey, rum and all the Luauors now on the printed list of bootleggers in America, the group of Americans in duck uniforms singing “Prosti.” “Hoch so er leben,” “Al Heidelberg,” “Muss ich Denkn.” These were the ones in Haiti. Some of the language is unprintable, but the wafter understood this: “Let’s have a drink for God’s sake, big you hum.” At one of the smallest cafes facing the main square of the city sits M. Chervet, editor of L'Acadieouvre, the main theatre and presidents are elected and ministers of state named. Provisional President Roy will announce the date of the election of the next Assembly in July; elections will take place in October. ... Haitians have one movie theatre, but they do not show first run films like the Regent, Dunbar and Royal Titles are in Spanish, French and novelty films are not open every night. Best U. S. films are shown at the Marines' own theatre which bans the public. A band concert and a soccer match will be presented of last week. A circus, a show like "Hot Chocolates," and a baseball game between the Sox and Hildale three times a week would give the natives enough excitement to make revolutions tame. City School teachers get $30 per month. County schools get $10 per month. The teachers and the assistants $4 a month.

Two things M. Legitimate says he would request if he were the head of the government today; one of them is that the United States would send colored ministers to Haiti instead of white, and the other that the American marines and officials clear out when the treaty expires in 1936 and leave the Haitians to run their own country. Asked how it feels to be an ex-president, M. Legitimate answered "fine." He pointed out that he had good health and access to 85, takes an interest in the war, and has every expectation of living to be 115 as his grandfather did. When the revolution began, he declared, the people were loyal, only the military backed by the Unitai for Jamaica. As he took船 to Jamaica, he said, crowds lin' the streets and many wept, for he had been in office only eight months and seven days. Hipolyte died after six years in office, M.

WOMEN ACTIVE Stage Meeting in Spite of Hubbies' Objection. (By Mail Exclusively in the AFRO-AMERICAN) MONROVIA, Liberia. — Finishing the last lap of their tour of investigation the latter part of June, the Liberian Commission appointed to probe charges of slavery in the Republic returned to Monrovia and is now believed to be on its way home. Following daily sessions for three weeks in Minrovia, the commission first spent a week in the Hinterland at Kaka-town and then proceeded on the 40th of May to Cape Palmas there. It is said they gathered much evidence which will form the basis for their report. Strong Case While nothing official has been given out by the body, it is believed that they have been presented a strong case against the present regime in the country. The Government, according to reports, has made an effort to halt damaging testimony by intimidating witnesses. Especially have they been trynical to those who have given testimony before the body, it is said. The government has also been working the roads, but many of them are refusing to do this work. Facing Crisis The commission has maintained a policy of silence, but it is evident that the whole Liberian situation is facing a crisis. Strong resolutions passed at a citizens' meeting on June 17 condemned the officials which they charge with being responsible for the various illions which have overtaken the republic. In a meeting it was charged that officials and profited by the illegal shipment of boys to Fernando Poo where they had been kept in enforced labor. There was a hot debate, participated in by F. E. R. Johnson, B. W. Payne, Attorney General L. A. Grimes and others. In a strong address given at a women's mass meeting, which was attended by women who brushed aside the objections of their husbands, Miss Irene Gant, local civic leader, urged the women to join in a fight, place the men who, she said, are bringing the republic to the brink of Banks Close Another complication which has added to the tension has been the anouncement sent out by the Bank-British West Africa Bank will close branches in Liberia on the 30th of September. Leaders say this will be a great disadvantage to the country and are wondering whether they cannot persevere. Financial interests in the United States to establish a bank in the republic. Government Wireless Because of the fact that the Government wireless station is out of order, it has been necessary for members of the commission to withdraw their reports to this county, and that is the Firestone station, 40 miles from Monrovia, and it is said that the unfavorable nature of such reports as the commission would likely make, would make it unwise to send them through that source. The offices of President King say that there is little doubt that the commission will find substantiation for all charges of slavery made against the government. The fear is, they say, that such a decision will deter the that drastic action will be taken by the U.S. Government and the League of Nations. Eats Rat Poison, "Dies," but is Revived CLARKSDALE.

STUDY MIXED FAMILIES IN LIVERPOOL, ENG LIVERPOOL, England.-That there are 450 mixed families and 1,500 children resulting from these unions, has been reported as a result of a study made by the Association for the Welfare of Half Castle Children, not the larger number of mixed unions, according to the report, grows out of the fact that large numbers of sailors come to the city and marry white women. The problem, according to officials, is similar art and craft, which, when English live in Africa, India and other colonial possessions. Several hundred members gathered at the edifice Sunday only to find that they were locked out of their church. The building, it is said, was leased for future purchase from James P. Meehan, white.

EARNED MILLIONS Napoleon Once Served Under His Father. (Paris Bureau of the Afro-American) PARIS.—The memory of Alexander Dumas, the great novelist, was recently honored by the Picard Academic Society of Paris, when a large number of his admirers and many American tourists made a pilgrimage to his home at Villers-Cotteret, near Paris. The meeting place of the pilgrims was at the foot of his immense statue on the Place Maishersbes, nearby which also those of his son, the playwright, and his father, the great general. Earned $25,000,000 M. Ernest Laut, writer, in the course of his address, told many amusing anecdotes of Dumas. Dumas it will be recalled, died penniless, after having earned a sum equivalent to about $2,500,000—a greater sum than has been earned before or since. In his old age, he had to be cared for by his son, who also made an immense fortune as a playwright. Just before his death, said M. Laut, the elder Dumas was going through his old clothes, when he discovered a gold piece in a vest pocket Holding it up to his son, he accuse me of being spendthrift, but I went to Paris with only two of these. It is now more than forty years, and I still have one of them. The generosity and good nature of Dumas, he said, were unbounded. He told how Dumas built a castle not far from Paris, in which he kept open house. He named Monte Cristo after one of his novels. Hundreds of persons, whom Dumas had never met, would visit Monte Cristo, consuming the expensive wines and food. He never kept any of his valuables under lock and key, and on his 'ressing table was always a pile of gold pieces from which anyone could help himself. Ruiped by Generosity Dumas was ruined by his generosity. At that time Italy was fighting for her independence, and gave large sums upfront. He also gave a large sum to the excavation of Pompeii, and had a private pension list of needy persons.

Haitians Twice Shocked by Moton Commission Very Punctillous in Matters of Social Prerogatives By CARL MURPHY PORT AU PRINCE. Hail-The Moton Commission has twice shocked the local people, or their stranger, at the capital and whether the capital will forget them for some time. The first surprise came at Gonaives when the members of the moton commission chauffeurs to sit at the same table at which they lunched at the hotel. Two Haitian members of the party discussed the breach and were undecided whether to offend their guests or violate their own sense of propriety. A Haitian-explained that not only would the moton commission eat with chauffeur, but that no first class chauffeur will ever consent to eat with his boss, even if invited. The moton commission was visiting the visit of the commission to the Agricultural College at Damien. Students there sang the national anthem. Asked to sing a second piece they sang the same anthem. After the assembly, as the college gathered in the hallway to greet the Americans, these guests responded by singing spirituals led by Dr. R. R. Mouon. Haitian instructors were chagrined, for no Haitian teacher ever sings before his students. It is regarded as undignified. Nor are any of the regular periods. Parents oppose, declaring that it would take time from the regular studies. Other native customs which seem strange to Americans are: no Haitian raises his hat to a domestic servant; no man speaks to a domestic best friend; a companion on his best street by a lady other than his wife. He must pass him by as if he were an entire stranger. Five Haitian Doctors Home from U.S. B: CARL MURPHY PORT AU PRINCE.

MAKE DENIAL Companies Tell AFRO they Did Not Refuse. NEW YORK.—That there are some factors in human feelings which outweigh even the mother love which would make one brush aside every consideration to stand beside the grave of a dead hero son, was shown last week when only 58 of some 400 Negro Gold Star War Mothers formerly expected to take the trip, started out on a freight-passenger vessel to visit the graves of their sons in France. The American Merchant, a combined passenger and freight boat of the American Navy, arrived armed out of New York harbor Saturday amid tears and mixed emotions. The entire passenger accommodations of the liner were occupied by the party of mothers gathered from various sections of the country and who had been the center of a controversy which had all but marred the spirit of the tour, springing from the separate accommodations made by the United States War Department. Various organizations, including the N.A.A.C.P. the National Association of Colored Women, as well as lesser organizations and prominent men and women had protested what they termed the wilful discrimination directed against the colored mothers, in that their accommodations had been arranged for separately as to race from those of white women to those of black women who were entitled to take the trip, many mothers cancelled their acceptance of the trip because of the Jim Crow arrangements.

As he started out of the cab, Harris stated that he was accusing him of during the women away, and threatened to kill him. Harris's statement declares that Collier shapped him several times, was then said, that he drew his revolver and fired the fatal shots. Girls Testify Catherine's testimony bore up that of Harris. She declared that Collier had flourished his revival as her hero. Harris had to take before Coller began to abuse Harris. Willie May Lyle, of 170 Thirteenth Street northwest, the other girl in the case, stated that Collier was in an argumentive mood and was in the act. The pistol which Catherine and Harris claimed that Collier possessed was not presented. Police were informed that it was in the possession of the pistol, and that E.

WOMEN'S WAGES LOW Stilled Workers Earn Only $15 Per Week, Domestics Have Long Hours. NO COMPLAINTS MADE Girls Afraid to Revolt Against Intolerable Conditions. (Washington Bureau of the AFRO) WASHINGTON. — The Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. not only promotes international activities among young women, but is also making a study of the industrial opportunities for col- ored women in the District of Co- mplia. Washington is not an industrial unter, consequently no exhaustive survey has been made. An analysis of the situation, however, has been seured through contacts with employers and visits to factories, lau- ndries and other places where women are employed. The women employed in Washington, for the most part, are found either in the various offices and government departments where they serve service occupation as such domestic, service facilities elevators, laundries and retail establishments. Hours Vary Data in the industrial department of the W.Y.C.A. reveal that, except in isolated instances, the eight-hour day is observed. But this is not true in the case of domestic service workers and is the source of much grievance on the part of the employed. A few hours of the domestic worker with the employer's temperate social obligations and numerous factors, summary of the situation made in the department says: "The wage for domestic workers ranges from $5 to $10 per week. Usually the persons desiring the most in the way of character and efficiency are apt to offer the lowest wage. A skilled worker earns an average of $10 per week, except in government service where the pay is somewhat higher." Wage Earners Association Only one organization has been observed by the "Y" personnel that is endeavoring to better the industrial conditions of the colored working woman. The organization noted is the Wage Farmers Association, organized as a result of the influence exerted by Missile Burroughs. There are no training organizations for Negro women except such courses as may be offered by the night schools of the city. Will Not Complain Will Not Compilate The following observations have cell inside. The difficult to get women to complain about working conditions. It is said that in one organization in the city employing over 200 women, there is not one rest room or a place where medical attention could be secured. "Hours in one department range from 8:30 a.m., until the work day is completed. It is as low as 40 minutes for the skilled help. One woman could be found who could complain against the conditions under which she worked." Her case mentioned is: "The same uncomplaining attitude of the part of the girl has come to mention who leaves the building at 6 in the morning. She has general housework, and in the inner even fires the furnace. She never returns before eight at night. She receives the magnificent sum of $4. The girl will not bear the same her work, and even boasts a small number, account to our utter confusion." The primary duty of the Industrial Department is to provide wholesome recreation for leisure time rather than solve the labor problems. However, when problems are brought to the attention of the department, they are difficult to solve them to the best advantage. Its policy is one of co-operation. Recreational Program Recreation The present Phillips Wheatsley building was completed in 1920 at a cost, building equipment, $217,000. The building occupies a gymnasium, offices for the executive and other secretaries, a social hall, club rooms, a restroom, three floors given to dormitories, a laundry, cafeteria, and sandwich shop. The organization has an average membership of 800. Its program embraces housing, cafeteria service, recreational facilities for older women, under the industrial department, under the air service department, under the air service culminating in Sunday Vesper Service, a summer camp at Highland Beach, Md., health and educational classes, employment and emergency service. The way of activities one finds in the aesthetic dancing, dramatic sketball, various classes, games, parties, and the like. Mrs. Martha All McAdoo is the secretary of the YWH having come on April 15, 1920, from the Chicago branch. The activities connected with the industrial department are under the supervision of the industrial secretary, Miss Kathleen D. Romer Ex-Preacher, Arrested 1,001 Times for Drunkenness, Proud ATLANTA.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, July 19, 1930 District Police Commissioner and Civil Service Secretary Quizzed also on Methods of Appointment (Washington Bureau of the AFRO) WASHINGTON. — Why more Negroes are not appointed to the police force, and why the present officers do not receive promotion in accord with their qualifications, were the questions asked the District Police Commissioner and the Civil Service Secretary on Friday by a committee of four persons. The action of the group marks the beginning of a concerted effort by organizations here to secure a fair proportion of colored officers. The primary reason for the move was the recent promotion of 55 white officers and not one of the 45 colored men being advanced. blank the statement that a photograph must accompany the application. He stated that photographs were not affixed to their particular papers until the ratings were made. The secretary was informed that even then, distinction could be made. The fingerprint method of identification is just as effective, if not more so than the photograph system, the committee contended. No difference was any unfair methods were caused by the use of the photograph system, which was only for the purpose of preventing false impersonation. That the fingerprint was a better method to prevent any unfairness was stressed by the delegation. Just before the end of the interview, Mr. Pinkett expressed the views of the committee in the following words: "We have the impression that the recognition of the colored man in the police and fire departments is far lower than what it should be." Several of the colored men have been on the force for more than 25 years, and it is thought propc. by citizens here that they should receive recognition for their commendable services. There is a total of 1,032 officers in the District. The persons who interviewed Commissioner of Police Herbert Crosby, were: A. S. Pinkett, secretary of the District branch of the N.A.A.C.P.; Whitefield McKinlay, former collector of Georgetown port, appointee of President Taft; Thomas A. Johnson, of the Civil Rights League, and E. W. Baker, of the Washington Bureau of the AFRO-AMERICAN. In stating the purpose of the call to Major Crosby, Mr. McKinlay said in part: "It is agreed that the colored men of the District force are among the best; they take pride in their work. Fair Proportion "If we had a fair proportion of colored officers we could do much towards stamping out lawlessness. A person takes a risk if he flashes a bill on 7th Street between R Street and Florida Avenue after 10 o'clock at night. Lawlessness has been stamped out to an extent on U Street and credit is due to some of our colored officers." Major Crosby avered that the police department was dependent upon the Civil Service Commission for certification of men before they were investigated by the police in regards to character alone. "The Commission certifies the men," he said, "we take them. We can neither hire nor fire them." The major explained that candidates must pass the mental tests of the civil service and a special examination by the police department. Regarding the mental tests, Mr. Johnson declared: "We have a fairly representative group of people in the District; one of the best in the country. With the schools we have and the athletics in which the men indulge, it seems peculiar that so few men can qualify for the police department. The colored people represent one-fourth the District population we should have in proportion we should have more representation on the force. Do we think" replied Major Crushie "that there should be any sites of race in this matter. This is a country where we all are supposed to stand on a level plane and be on the same basis" Mr. Pinkett interposed, "In theory, that is true." "So far as I know," stated the major, "we practice in the police department." department Becoming convinced that Major Coyote did not offer a solution to the problem of the committee, Mr. Pinkett, said: "My personal opinion is that the civil service machinery offers opportunity to pass up the matter of appointment and promotions. "What is the remedy for helping the situation?" he interrogated Major The police commissioner answered that the question was one entirely up to the Civil Service Commission. Leaving the office of Major Crosby, the committee immediately called up on Dr. John T. Doyle, secretary of the Civil Service Commission, Dr. Butler, examining physician, and Mr. Sorrell, certification clerk, were called in. Informing the secretary of the purpose of the committee, Mr. McKinlay "We are interested primarily in the qualifications necessary for office security promotion, and we have been right the proper recognition." Don't Take Exams "The reason emphasized by the secretary of the Civil Service Commission why colored men do not receive appointments and promotions was they do not take the necessary examinations. "There is nothing done in the department that makes the slightest distinction as to color." he declared. The question was asked as to what methods the department used to acquaint men of the examination dates. Dr. Butler answered that radio broadcasts, circulars, and other forms of publicity are used. Mr. Johnson, responding to the statement said: "If there are not many colored applicants it is because they have heard that there is some unfairness in the Civil Service Commission." Need Firemen According to Mr. Sorrell, the certification clerk, they have had need of a colored fireman for a long time, but there is none on the elephant. Dr. Butler told the committee that the proportion of colored men who passed the physical tests were the same as that of the whites. He also stated that it was a racialistic of the colored man that have flat feet and in what manner fact had influenced examinations was not asked. A name among the first three at the top of an eligible list may be skipped if the character rating is lower than the others, it was leased. Such a name may be skipped three times and then the person loses his thing. Dr. Doyle, the secretary, denying the impression affloat that discrimination was practiced, asked the members to use their influence to get men to take the examinations for the District police department or the fire department. Congress has prescribed that men living near the United States dislike upon meeting the necessary qualifications. The committee, which at first confined itself more or less to the matter of promotions, took another phase of the civil service regulations. Discrimination Feared The necessity of the photograph system was questioned by Mr. Finkett who told the secretary that the racial candidate could be learned and he might be the object of discrimination. Mr. Doyle read from an examina- Correct Appearance/ Regardless of your charming personality, your education and refinement you must have a perfect, lovely complexion and beautiful hair if you are to make a good impression and be assured of popularity and social leadership.

Signs displayed prominently over the mirror in front of each chair in a shop near the hotel which houses the Moton Commission, make that statement, and customers who fail to see them are reminded of their presence by the proprietor. Political talk on the streets is bitter enough in the United States with only three candidates for the presidency, but in a country of the world, only as large as the state of Maryland, with 55 candidates for the republic's high office, partisanship is not only intense but explosive. For that reason Haitian barbers regulate the conversation of their patrons.

Red Triangles are glad to welcome their MOTON GROUP Continued From Page One they would be ready to return home Monday, July 7. The department offered use of an ancient mine sweeper stationed at Port au Prince to ferry the commissioners over to Cuba. The trip would have required two weeks, and no quarters were available for the personnel, which meant no sleep during the trip. This method of travel would be rejected. Two Decline Flying Proposal to charter two planes had the absolute veil of Dr. Mordecai Johnson, commissioner, and P. L. Pratiss, A.N.P. representative. Only Dr. W. T. B. Williams, commissioner, forced it, provisionally. Refusal of the Navy Department to furnish a vessel made it necessary for the commission to seek last minute accommodations on the regular passenger ship of the Panama Line which reached Hawaii with the result that it accepted the undesirable staterooms rather than remain in land and carry on a long distance debate with the State and Navy Departments. Baggage Not Examined Granted customs immunity, the baggage of the commissioners was not examined, and they were among the first to land at 8:30am. It was nearly noon, before proper travel vouchers were available and members of the party were able to leave the Pennsylvania Station. Noted in the baggage were eight drum, tanks, and a boat which the party took in as souvenirs. Other souvenirs included Haitian silver jewelry, coffee, mahogany and coffee-drink trinkets. Dr. Motton left for his summer home at Cappuccio, Va. He is寄. this week.

Other commissioners, their work outlined, are expected to complete it at their several homes, and forward it to the President Hoover, perhaps this week. Other commissioners will discuss when they meet at the annual session of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools to be in session at Petersburg, Va. next week. All of the commissioners are on the program of this session. Hoover Riles Haltians President Hoover's announcement early this month that he had appointed Dana G. Munro, white, as U.S. Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hassan Hassan, former High Commissioner, was in keeping with the recommendation of the Forbes Commission which believed this country could be better represented at Port au Prince by a non-military representative. This week, Mr. Hoover skicked over the bucket of good milk by an order directing General Russell, now on leave in the States, to return to Haiti for the inauguration of President Roy, recently chosen provisional president of the island. Russell and Freeman Blamed Haitians blame Russell and Dr. George Freeman, white, ousted U.S. educational expert, for the unrest which resulted in student riots and killings by marines this year. Russell return, even for a short period, like waving a red rabe after a bull. A second Hoover bounce, offensive not only to the Haitians, but also to the Moton Commission, was as head of the U.S. manned Agricultural College. Mr. Colvin, who has a master of science degree, as assistant of Dr. Freeman who was head of the U.S. manned Agricultural College, for many of the Freeman policies. One Haitian objection is that the appointment means that Colvin's salary, fixed by the U.S., but paid by the French, is raised from $7,500 to $10,000 a year. Another is that Colvin speaks but little French, and a third is that Colvin's insubordination has caused his resignation. He has resigned his resignation. Molon Averted Strike A strike of the Agricultural College students, averted three weeks ago by Dr. Moton, was directed at the college to protest his present position or promotion is a constant invitation to the whole Haitian cabinet and President Roy himself to resign and give Uncle Sam a chance to take over the whole government. Promotion of Colvin at a time when his work, as well as that of all other American education in Haiti was under investigation by the Moton Commission, was regarded by members of the faculty as an explosion of a bomb in their faces. "Busted" in His Face To illustrate how the commission regarded the Colvin appointment, one member told the story of a Southern bank for the withdraw of funds after it had been placed in the hands of a receiver. No notice of the failure of the bank had been posted, and the puzzled depositor was unable to retrieve the could not withdraw his account. "You have heard about a bank bustin', haven't you?" reasoned the teller. "The financial crises have caused the closing of many banks in the South." The depositor stroked his chin, despairingly. "Sure," he said. "I have had banks to come before, but this is the first time any one of them busted in my face." Washington Doctor with Wife in Haiti BY CARL MURPHY PORT AU PRINCE, Hailt.—Dr. Theoplius W. Martin, physician, student, warden, and 100 Eighteenth Street, northwest, Washington, D.C., arrived here last week to begin the practice of medicine. He was accompanied by Mrs. Martin, who will provide a two months' vacation here and then return to her duties as a teacher in the Washington public schools. Dr. Martin's first task is to learn the French language and the second, to secure the license to practice here without taking an examination in the French language. The law states that foreign physicians coming to mass such an examination are required to pass such an examination. Besides his auto, which cost nearly $40 in freight and duty to transport here. Dr. Martin brought him the machine to be set up in the office of Dr. R. Saloman, a local physician.

The affair was staged in the dining room. Dr. Moton was presented a Haitian silver match box made especially for him and also a silk and leather cushion, the latter the gift of the whole party. Newsman gave Dr. Mordecal Johnson and Secretary G. Lake Jones French Bibles. Leo M. Favrot, white, termed a "regular fellow," was presented a pennant upon which was embossed a reproduction of the ruins of Christophe's famous castle. Because of a broken wheel, Mr. Favrot to ride a burro up the mountain to visit the ruins with other members of the party, and when he attempted to fly over the mountain to get an airplane view, the machine was forced down on a lonely beach by a broken fuel line. Perfume for Bachelor Benjamin Hubert, president of Georgia State College, and the only bachelor among the commissioners was given a bachelor's degree, dean of Tuskegee, who was unkilling in his work imperturbable, and apparently unmindful of the blazing tropical sun was presented a thermometer. The newsman advised him that they were sure he did not know how hot Sing Spirituals The ship dining room quickly filled with passengers and officers, including Captain Foster, when members of the party seated around a table at the front of the room, sang several spirituals. Previously the commissioners sang spirituals for the party and shocked Haitian elite, who termed it undignified, since a Haitian teacher will not ever sing before his students. Dr. Johnson read Dumbar's poem, "When Mama Sings," and Dr. Johnson and Dr. Imes read sermons from James Weldon Johnson's "God's Trombones." The applause was tumultuous. "Nothing like this was ever heard on the ship before," was Captain Foster's comment.

ASKS $5,000 Jewelry Company Made Defendant After Her, Acquittal. PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-Mrs. Maude Matthews, a well known society matron of North Philadelphia, has instituted action in the common pleas court of Philadelphia County for $3,000 damages for what she terms a malicious warrant and wrongful arrest by the City Attorney Company of Beth and Sansom Streets which company is made defendant in a law suit brought by her attorney, Raymond Face Alexander. The Morton Jewelry Company, through mistaken identity arrested Mrs. Maude Matthews under the impression that she was the Maude Matthews who purchased a watch from the company several years ago. Notwithstanding a half dozen nesses appearing in the magistrate, all the stated that Mrs. Matthews was not even in the city at the time but was at Ocean City, New Jersey the magistrate held her for trial by court on the lone statement of a saleswoman who claimed she sold the jewelry to Mrs. Matthews while she was working for the Stanley Drug Company. 15th and Chestnut Streets. Freed by Jury At the trial of the case in Quarter Sessions court before Judge Eugene C. Bonniwell and a jury last week, Mrs. Matthews had the employment manager of the Stanley Drug Company appear in her behalf with records showing that she was never employing at the drug company and had six witnesses from Ocean City who testified that she was in that city during the entire summer of 1928 when the alleged purchase was made.

A suit was immediately filed for damages against the Jewelry company. The papers alleged Mrs. Matthews has suffered considerable nervous illness as the result of this embarrassment, which, by the jury verdict, was shown to have been entirely a mistake. She has been under the care of a physician for a long time as the result of this action.

Constant thoughts of some day being apprehended, thoughts that every policeman was looking for him drove him from the East into the cities of the West.

The A.F. of L. and the Negro The effect of the dual policy of the American Federation of Labor in maintaining an open nationality to the Negro toller in so far as its national organization is concerned, but allowing its locals to bar him wherever it suits their convenience, comes home here in Baltimore this week in the fight the International Ladies' Garment Makers' local is making to better members' working conditions and wages. While every effort is made to recruit the American Federation of Labor is on record as favoring the organization of Negroes in all of its crafts, most of the unions still refuse to admit them. In the Longshoremen's local, Negro workers have fought their way to complete recognition, and this is true in the Hot Carriers' and common Laborers' local. In the local skilled crafts, especially those which the vocational schools are preparing young men and women, they are barred. The effect of the dual policy of the American Federation of Labor in maintaining an open door policy to the Negro tailor in so far as its national organization is concerned, but allowing its locals to bar him wherever it suits their convenience, comes home here in Baltimore this week in the Interstate 'Ladies' Garment Mainters' local training to better its member conditions and get better wages. While even the local council of the American Federation of Labor is on record as favoring the organization of Negroes in all of its crafts, most of the unions still refuse to admit them. In the Longshoremen's local. Negro workers have fought their way to complete recognition, and this is true in the Hod Carriers and Common Laborers' local labor. The local locals of the poor skilled crafts, especially those of the vocational schools are preparing young men and women, they are barred. That is why white organizers are finding it a task to induce the large number of trade workers to join the craft union and help them pull their chests out of the fire in this strike. In a highly unionized city like Baltimore, it would certainly seem to be the best policy. have all workers inside the union, and them to join merely skilled groups and vocational unions, in the higher paying vocational unions, is a form of occupational segregation which will not work well. It is evident that one of two things must be done. Either the American Federation of Labor must find a way of opening all the unions to Negro workers and enact an organized fight on Negro labor. It is evident that one of two things must be done. Either the American Federation of Labor must find a way of opening all the unions to Negro workers, or expect an organized fight on the part of Negro labor. The Negro must work, even if he must institute a price cutting war. It will be the only weapon left to him if the federation cannot solve the problem of broadening the policies of its locals. The Negro must work, even if he must institute a price cutting war. It will be the only weapon left to him if the federation cannot solve the problem of broadening the policies of its locals. More than Shame It, as heads of the War Department say, they were acting in the interest of the comfort and happiness of Negro Gold Star Mothers in inaugurating the policy which ended today in sixty-eight heart-torn, grey-haired women sailing to France in a combination freighter and passenger vessel, they must have a terribly abnormal idea of what human happiness is. This cruel, poison, gas policy, which the War Department has maintained in deairy with Negro war mothers, is not only an insult and a shame, but it is more. It is about the most caddisful thing in unchievable things men could do to women. Three hundred and more years ago white men brought Negro women across the water in chains. Now they are sending a group of the descendants of these women, who went down in the valley of sorrow to give them sons who died in the country's service, back across the water, not in chains, but worse. Something must have gone wrong with the reasoning of the men in the War Department who planned this thing. Surely the no human being who ever uttered the no mother "could pretend to apply such reasoning as that given by the War Department officials to white women. Some white men have done had Ku-Klux-minded persons suggested that any particular group or groups of white mothers—say Jews, or Catholicies, or the foreign-born—be sequestrated from the age white mothers. The white men have done if any steamship company, whether of foreign or domestic shoulder, should have refused to carry American white mothers to France unless they submitted to being segregated from other white passengers? There would be something cowardly and inhuman about any man who submitted to any insult to any mother, much less Gold Star Mothers whom he was pretending to be. Here the men who were sequestrated to contact with Negro women. They have sucked at their breasts and have been crooned to sleep in their laps. They have tossed in sick beds white black faced human beings nursed them back to life. When the World War started they met at the stations and concentration depots, both white and black women, with tears in their eyes, both understanding in common the heart-pangs which made their sons wrest across and fought together. Behind black and white breasts these same War Department heads, who now stoop to thrust the stiletto of insult into their souls, gave their commands in safety. No bullet slackened its speed because its target was white or black. No bullet was less effective in making this world safe for democracy because the mother's son who prigged came from the black shackle the South rather than the mansion on Riverside Drive. It, as heads of the War Department say, they were acting in the interest of the comfort and happiness of Negro Gold Star Mothers in inaugurating the jim crow policy which ended last Saturday in sixty-eight heart-torn, grey-haired women sailing to France in a combination freighter and passenger vessel, they must have a terribly abnormal idea of what human happiness. This cruel, inhuman, poison-gas policy, which the War Department has maintained in dealing with Negro war mothers, is not only an insult and a shame, but it is more; it is about the most caddish, ungentlemanly and unchivalrous thing any men could do to women. Three hundred and more years ago white men brought Negro women across the water in chains, and a group of the descendants of these women, who went down in the valley of sorrow to give them sons who died in the country's service, back across the water, not in chains, but worse. Something must have gone wrong with the reasoning function of the men in the War Department who planned this thing. Surely no human being who was not a friend would pretend to apply such reasoning as that given by the War Department officials to white women. What would these white men have done had Ku-Ku-minded persons suggested that any particular group or groups of white mothers—say Jews, or Catholics, or the foreign-born—be segregated from the other white mothers? What would these white men have done if any steamship company, whether of foreign or domestic register, should have refused to carry American white mothers to France unless they saw being segregated from other white passengers? There would be something cowardly and inhuman about any man who submitted to any such insult to any mother, much less Gold Star Mothers whom he was pretending to honor. Here in America, even in the South, white women are accustomed to contact with Negro women. They have sucked at their breasts and have been crooned to sleep in their laps. They have tossed in sick beds while black faced human beings nursed them back to life. When the World War started they met at the stations and concentrated with tears in their eyes, both understanding in common the heart-pangs which made them sisters, under the skin. Their sons went across and fought together. Behind black and white breasts these same War Department heads, who now stoop to thrust the stiletto of insult into their souls, gave their commands in safety. No bullet slackened its speed because its target was white or black. No bullet was less effective in making this world safe for democracy because the mothers, who pulled a girdle came from the black shanty in the South rather than the mansion on Riverside Drive. But now the war is over and the high-sounding paeans of patriotism which resounded from every pulpit, every forum, and every avenue of public sentiment, to make the Negro feel that he was part and parcel of this American commonwealth—that made him fight like a soldier and die like a patriot—is hushed. He are in crow, lynchings and now worst of all-on-air War Department insult to the weary mothers who brought them into the world. If in the face of this insult, all of our Negro leaders do not make a concerted effort to trace out its responsibility and strike a sledgehammer blow with their votes, or with whatever weapons they have at their command, they will show themselves to be less than cowardly curs. There can be no excuse or equivocation in a matter like this, the most precedent which sets the governmental stamp of approval upon one of the most inexcusable, uncalled-for and vicious policies of segregation and jim crow the Negro has faced. For if men won't strike back at insults to their women, they soon will have nothing else to strike back for or to strike with.

Intemperance Perhaps has been said concerning the recent after-commencement dawn dance at the road house. Some are sanctioned or excused it; others have been sanctioned it. The objections have been based mainly on moral and racial grounds; the matter of the alleged excessive financial outlay has also been cited. One objection which seems important has not been mentioned; that is, the apparent intermence involved in two dances in one night. By intermence, in this case, there is no reason to liquor drinking, but to the excess of intermence in what might well be regarded as a harmless partisanship in moderation and under proper auspices.

The fascist American Legion, which with the Ku Klux Klan, lays down lynch law for the Northern Negro masses, participated in the reception. The United States marines, notorious throughout the Caribbean as the murderers of countless Haitian and Latin American workers, also took part in the reception. And, co-occupied with the Negro burdurers of the Negra masses were the ever ready betrayers of these masses, the Negro petty bourgeoisie: the professional and business classes within the race. Alderman Fred R. Moore presented the jim crow reception to American burdurers who tried to introduce American jim crowism into Europe, Clifford Hawkins and Ferdinand Q. Morton were also on hand to do their act. Col. Benjamin O. Davis, highest ranking Negro officer in the jim crow United States Army, was selected by imperialists to give "face" to the proceedings. The enemies and oppressors of the Negro masses turned out with a mask of "friendliness" in the effort to put over as smoothly as possible the Negroes are oppressed, segregated and discriminated against. And the treacherous Negro petty bourgeoisie collaborated in their traditional role of defenders an apologists of the very system under which Negroes are oppressed, segregated and discriminated against.

ARCHIE R. SMITH. The Caste Spirit Handicaps Haiti and is Not Wholly Absent from the "Colored" Group in the United States. To the Editor: Day by Day By WILLIAM. N. JONES Ford's Standard Wage Lingleism Taxing the Childless A Confederate Negro Hero Soothing Syrup FOUR ROOMS AND BATH, a car and radio, according to Henry 10 The Emirates. From various items in the recent news from Haiti, it seems that one of the serious drawbacks under which the Haitians labor is a more rigid caste system. This system seems based partly on color and partly on occupational status. From various Haiti, it seems backs under wilde or less rigid based partly on status. The Haitians fears eating at of the Motron Cross the color as passing throttle if the Motron, which refers, refers to it. It is not need to whether or in religion, descent and chin, which refers to India and China and competent prominent or racial or not, in and in effect. However, we the Caribee of the same right in it have been cast-steadying to the ecomic and the nomic on the other. Now the wanting this country has grown steadily, past the beast was cast-stead at ward a stratified this country by a degree grown steadily, past the tendency it rather a 'degree a manifestation a manifestation at the sorbed in those dominant nation Dr. Dubuois the college intensity at the sorbed in those since the matter yond the stage, conscious, snobble The Haitians were shocked to see the chauffeurs eating at the same table with the members of the Moton Commission, and it is said that to cross the street, they are almost as difficult as walking through the needle's eye. If the commission accomplishes nothing else, their visit has to some extent scotched the system, which Mr. Carl Murphy, in one of his letters, refers to as the "madness" of the system. It is not necessary to argue the question as it is in the case—whether based on color, religion, descent, wealth, station, or what-not, is a serious detriment, if not an actual curse. India and China are important allies, and we need give Liberia as another less prominent example. In fact, caste and national or racial backwardness are inseparable, if they do not, indeed, bear the relation of cause and effect. We need not look across the ocean nor the Caribbean Sea, to observe manifestations of the same spirit. There is a considerable lot of it right here in the United States, especially in the Southland. Among the many levels of tendencies of modern economic and educational forces. On the other hand, among Negroes, signs are not wanting that we are picking up and hurling at them, as such others that have been cast-off or out-grown. There was at one time a marked tendency toward a stratification among "colored people" in this country, based on their military rank outside of the group, has grown steadily less. The danger is not wholly past, but the immediate danger seems to lie in the tendency to draw an educational line—or rather a "degree line." Inordinate exclamation and sarcasm, and sororites are a manifestation of the tendency. Among white people, these organizations—if we can call them such—cut little figure away from the college campus, and after the college years, But with us, they seem to reach their maximum intensity at the end of their lives when others are made the three things which have made the dominant nations what they are. Dr. DuBois referred to the matter in his commencement day address at Howard, and both before and since, others have noted it, although the man who not yet made much be unconscious, snobbery, but maybe unconscious, snobbery, but the tendency is plainly manifest. Alexandria, Va. F. H. M. MURRAY. War Mothers Going to Europe Should Not be Made a Race Issue. To the Editor: The case of the War Mothers going to Europe is just another upheaval of race prejudice of the past that has grown so big in the hearts of "Free America" that even the War Department has not courage to act sensibly against it. The majority of colored people in one way or another, believe in segregation. If you segregate them, they kick. If you don't they kick. And so on. The biggest fight ever made by a Negro for segregation was made by Marcus Garvey. He has, have been right. I only say this: the Negro are only two ways of solving the race problem: to take one or the other—Amalgamate or Separate! In my opinion, Booker T. Washington was wrong when he said we could live as separates as the fingers on the hand, and yet get along. That the Negro does it go? It goes just as far as the ruling class want it to go. You can't have a Negro this and a Negro that to any good end unless you are under a separate government. For instance, could you have a radio station to broadcast only to Negroes with receivers that could only pick up Negro broadcasts? If there are so many licenses issued by the Federal Radio Commission for one certain district, the Negro has to take what he gets from the white stations, and that is impossible for him or other station. So much for that! Can we have a Negro mayor and a white mayor (either mayor, white or colored, is going to look out for his own group)? Can you have a colored court and a white judge or white President? Then why separate schools, separate boats for colored, separate police tactics, separate social status, separate marriage laws, etc., when we all must live under the same government, fight for the same flag, pay taxes to the same government, agree on the same language, say: "I had as soon eat corn bread and cabbage on U Street, as to be in the Capitol Lunch room eat soft-shell crabs. But it is my desire to educate the Congressmen so that they will get accustomed to seeing Negroes in every place in the town." And so, you see, it is not always that you want to be mixing with white people, etc., but, if you don't mix, just so long you remain separate and trampled, just so long you are educating the white man to the fact that you are an under-dog and know the place, which he considers is not the place. In this race question, as they call it, I feel that the white man is not even a good sport. If the Negro was as inferior as he says he is, why make laws to keep him down? I also agree with William N. Jones, writing in last week's APRO, who said: "He hears 'no' him supran but he don't And to those Negroes who think they should be satisfied with any kind of treatment without a protest, I say to you as the white man says: "Get in your box!" ROBT. R. HAYNES. Pittsburgh Ministers Laud Mothers Who Refused Jim Crow Transportation. To the Editor: The Gold Star Mothers who refused the Jim crow transportation to the graves of their loved one in France have displayed the highest type of virtue seen since the days of the Revolutionary War, as well as the highest respect to American ideals in refusing to visit the graves of their sons in a dishonored and ignoble role. These women must be classed as heroes and patriots for refusing to bow to the behest of a hypocritical, untruthful, so-called democracy. The Gold St Croxton transports oceans in France of virtue seen in War, as we can doels in recesses in a dish women must be for refusing to critical, unrighteous these racy or which die. For then. For them. For honored and to visit bathed principles for. Therefore, for. fr. world these blee encourage eyes. That democracy of government that tends to regenerate these noble women is not the democracy for which they gave their sons to bleed and would have been a bold reflection upon their loved and honored dead whose graves they are asked to visit bathed in tears and re-dedicated to the principles for which they died. Therefore, from every press and pulpit in the world these bleeding sacrificial hearts should be supported and indulged in. These women with their sons were willing to pay the supreme price of devotion to the immoral words of Lincoln, "That a government for the people, and by the people shall not perish from the earth." These sons were taught that this American nation supporting this truth. Mr. Wilson objected to appointing Negro delegates to the Hague Conference, claiming that there is only one American nation. For the government to establish jim crowism on a mission of humiliation, the nation must humble and a serious reflection on the honor and integrity of the American institutions. How well this government honors them and their dead can be clearly seen in their diacritical act of segregation. The sons of these women felt God help these mothers to stand for the same. Therefore, he it resolved that the Baptist Ministers go on record as congratulating these mothers for th' high stand they have 'taken in refusing to credit on (the) Rev. C. E. ASKEW, heroic sons. Chairman, Committee. FOUR ROOMS AND BATH, a car and radio, according to Henry Ford. should be accepted as the standard of living, and he is accordingly studying what wage should be paid to insure these to every working man and family. Fifteen years ago Henry Ford announced a minimum of $5 daily for workers in all of his plants. Business men, many of them receiving from $50 to $500 per day, throw up their hands in horror. Now, if Ford carries out his plan of paying all workmen a minimum equivalent wage of a four-room house, a car and a roadmap upset the financiers, for you cannot pay the over-paid men more, paying the over-paid men less. That is where the rub will come, and that is why Henry Ford is hated by certain business men. Whether we like to realize it or not, we are living in a world, and even in a country, where every man could not have a four-room house, a car and a radio, under present conditions. With the present distribution of the product of toil, not one out of fifty can. But Henry Ford's standardized wage will go a long way towards bringing about the day when each man can have this standard best and most efficient workers will drift his plant, and he will be the gainer thereby. ALTHOUGH the gang killing of Jake Lingle, white Chicago reporter, did not burn out to be a gang war against newspaper opposition, it did reveal that racketeering is committing harl-kari. Unfortunately, racketeering is not confined to gangland. Long before we had the gang racket we had the lodge racket, the church racket, and the various little nickel and penny rackets scattered throughout the country. Sometimes they did not use machine guns, but their weapons were just as effective when things went awry. The current of "vet-something-forming" feeling permeating this land. But in gangland, they are killing off each other. What the police are failing to do, the gangs themselves are doing. Being a racketeer will soon be the same as a sentence, if the trend keeps up. THE WORLD MOVES toward Socialism, whether we perceive it or not. Dr. Herman Dietrich, minister of finance of Germany, has introduced a measure taxing bachelors and spinsters. We should help the country take care of its future men and women. In Russia they go a step further and say all children belong to the state and should have the same advantages. In America, we are reaching the same goal indirectly by taking freedom and money of people once performed by individual parents and giving them to "parents" employed by the state. Child clinics, school dentistry and community centers are examples. Income taxes are a form of taking certain people's wealth and making them the citizens. So is farm board relief a method of distributing the income of the country along socialistic lines. Don't tremble with terror when you hear a "red" talking. Many of our reforms which we take for granted today, were red propaganda a few years ago. JOHN WRIGHT, former Negro Confederate soldier who fought along with the Southern forces at Jenkins Ferry to keep himself and others in clutch slavery, died in Malvern, Ark., Sunday. Blinded during one of these battles, the late veteran was known who were sensible and right thinking during the war." White men and women gave him a military burial and lauded him at a funeral in a local church. Thousands of Negro slaves thought slavery best, just as thousands of Negro leaders now think separate schools for insurance best. They have supported with any form of human exploitation, do not think harshly of John Wright. Slavery might have been best for John Wright, just as some forms of segregation seem best for some Negro leaders, but SLAVERY WAS NOT GOOD FOR MILLIONS OF POOR HUMAN DEVILS. Neither are some things we condone in this age. ACCOORDING TO the Kansas City American, the Negro voters of Kansas have greatly changed their hostile attitude towards Senator Allen since his appointment of D. E. Henderson to a place in the office of the U.S. Attorney General. There should be no surprise at this, as it is always possible for any G.O.P. chieftain to wallop Negro leaders on the head with a mallet and make things right by pouring a little soothing syrup on in the form of a job. The appointment of Henderson is one of the biggest things which has happened since the present administration intends to be compared with the threat of a Parker on the Supreme bench it amounts to little. A list of responsible leaders in Kansas who help to carry the Negro vote for Allen should make interesting reading. Birthdays JULY 13—Alice Dunbar Bunnel, 1310 French Street.

A Southern Trick Camouflaged as a Moral Move Bishop Cannon's Proposal Open to the Construction of a Covert Scheme to Increase Southern Political Power. By KELLY MILLER Bishop Cannon, an ardent prohibition advocate, has recently suggested that unnaturalized allens be eliminated from the basis of representation, as an aid to the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment. These unnaturalized allens to be found mainly in the courtrooms of the citadels of wetness. There are whose places rest upon the basis of these non-citizens, whose elimination would bring greater proportional weight to the dry states of the South and West in the lower house of Congress. In some such roundabout way, the good bishop hopes to promote the cause of prohibition purposes belief that Bishop Cannon could ever adopt. There are such an amendment adopted. There are more than thirteen states with a heavy alien constituency which would lose one or more members of Congress by such elimination, without any compensating advantage. There is no more hope of getting such an amendment through than there is of rescinding the Eighteenth Amendment. The South has figured as an all-but negligible factor in the equation of the federal government since the Civil War. Even when the Democrats are in power the Southern contingent must play second fiddle to their Northern co-partners. East form the great storehouse of wealth, culture and power. The great cities and centers of learning and culture are there. The South is hopeless outdistanced in the growth of population. She may not hope to rival the North in any forthright political contest. Failing by direct action to keep pace with her great emotional rival, she is subject to resort to political indirection. Not long since, a Southern representative suggested that the great state of Texas be divided into five commonwealths with ten Senators. He had the honesty and courage to admit that the purpose of this suggestion was to give the governor house of Conversation as compared with the more powerful and populous North. But Bishop Cannon's proposal, which looks in the same direction, is canouffaged under the guise of a moral reform. The elimination of aliens from the basis of representation, if it could be accomplished, would have little or no effect on the fate of prohibition. But it would help powerfully toward shifting the political power from North to South. If the manner to assert that this is the bishop's covert purpose, but his suggestion is certainly open to that construction. Tinkham Called the Bluff This is by no means the first time that this issue has been raised. During consideration of the proposal, a provision was actually approved by the House of Representatives. This gave Mr. Tinkham a chance with his provision for curtailing Southern representation. Up to that time he could not find a member of the House to second his motion, but the moment loss of power was threatened to the great Northern and Western states, he actually mugged votes enough to affirm the enforcement of the curtailing clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. If the South, aided and abetted by the West, insisted on eliminating the Northern aliens, in retaliation the North would eliminate the Southern Negroes. So provisions were passed, merely for trading purposes, American people will never alter the fundamental basis of representation, not even to accomplish Bishop Connor's laudable purposes. Experience shows that moral reforms can hardly be advanced by constitutional enactment in advance of the awakening and education of the people on the issue involved. One of the most important of the Constitution in behalf of prohibition, with its corresponding difficulties and bestements ought to convince us of the unwisdom of relying on political action for moral results. Representation is Now as Founders Intended From the Negro's standpoint, it would be very dangerous to begin to tamper with the basis of representation. The founders unmistakably intended that apportionment should rest upon the number of human individuals in the jurisdiction and under the authority of the United States. They were forced to a temporary compromise on proportional representation for the slaves, under the firm belief that slavery was but an evanescent institution. The Fourteenth Amendment restored the basis of representation to its original meaning and purpose. And there it should ever be. The righteous cause of prohibition will take care of itself without any further tinkering with the Constitution. The Bible Up-to-Date PALESTINE, (Special) — A new movement, which may bring about the emancipation of women was started here, when Delilah, a prominent housewife, turned off the shackles of the home and opened a barbershop and beauty parlor this week. Sampson, her husband, a famous warrior who has also gained fame as a model, is among the strongest man in the country, showed his interest in the project by becoming his wife's first customer. Although well pleased with the glory of the haircut, he received Sampson declared that the loss of his hair sapped his strength: His wife, angered and frightened less such reports should ruin her business, he refused to retract the statement and scratched out both his eyes. The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly The Proofreader Talks In the recent talks concerning the learning of correct spelling, emphasis has been placed on reading. An attempt has been made to show that it is hopeless to try to learn correct spelling unless the meanings of the words are known, and one is familiar with their use. But since the purpose of the reading is to become familiar with the words—the right forms of the words in the right places, which the correct spelling is important, important magazines, and papers that are themselves correct. For, if the reading matter is itself faulty, necessarily its effect will be damaging rather than helpful. No one may have profiled the reading—which includes the meaning and use of words—except by regular and plentiful reading of matter that is assuredly correct. Listening to radio talks of some value, indeed, will speak the listener distinctly and pronounce meticulously. If, however, he mangles his words as did one I heard not long since, the effect will be hurtful. The speaker referred to words that are not easily understandable, impulms, appearance, and use similar inexplicit if not actually wrong pronunciations. As to the deteriorating effect of or possibly printed written or creatively printed matter that is thrust before us, we need go no further than our own race press. Even a columnist supposedly as well equipped as Dean *Ackerman* is deleterious to say the least. In last week's release from him, we find, "obliquity" (for *obliquity*), "dreadful" (for *dreadful*), "wreckless" (for *reckless*), and so it goes week after week. In these cases the misspelling is really the use of the wrong word. really the use of the wrong word. Unfortunately the most of these errors occur along with numerous solemnisms of grammar and diction. If so eminent a writer as Dean Miller permits such matter to go out to the press, what may we hope from Tom? Unless the reading of such matter is counterbalanced by copious reading of that which IS correct, the results are bound to be disastrous. Those persons, for whom correct spelling is, or should be, a necessary reading matter that can not only be relied upon for correctness, it should be also, in large part at least, matter that does not tempt one to gallop through it—such as the average story in the magazines, and the popular novel in the theater, that such a character that one is not absorbed in the incidents, nor included in hurry through to see how things turn out. In short, one must read with a purpose—maybe more than one purpose—not merely as a pastime. F. H. M. M. Socialism in Action The Columbia Conservate Company a firm in Indianapolis having 150 employees and doing a business on the ground, will work for 13 years under a plan which makes one think of Soviet Russia. Under the plan outlined below, the employees have now acquired 51 per cent of the stock of the company, so of course, they could turn the former bosses" out if 75 of them chose to do so. The principles of the plan are as follows: 1. Wages are based on actual needs of the company and his children. 2. Thus a joint effort will be the father of five children may be paid more than the mother, or the stenographer who is a widowed mother may be paid more than the mother. The wage is fixed for each employee by his fellow workers. There are 3. a married woman automatically receives 50 per cent higher wages than a single man and 20 per cent higher wages up to the limit of three children, a limit in the belief that more than three children prove a menace to any worker's hap- Hold Weekly Council 4.

Negro workers in the plant. of course, share along with the others. Richard Barthe, young colored man of Chicago, is becoming a famous sculptor. He started out to paint. He was even painted twice, when he himself a better sculptor than painter. This, in some respects, parallels the local art scene, whose painting of the ceiling and frieze of the Sistine Chain in Rome is regarded as the greatest work of its kind in the world. He commissioned by the Pope to decorate this room, he protested that he was a sculptor, not a painter. Nevertheless, the Pope persisted with the result stated, although the painter was the greatest sculptor since the Greeks uses the case of Barthe (who, by the way, was NOT a Harmonist), to a bombyl in which he says: Don't think there is only one thing you can do well and that your life is going to be a failure if you can find just the thing you need. You can do many things and do them well. So can a normal man. There are hundreds of good lawyers who might have been successful in the business world, but are preachers who would have made excellent business executives. Human nature is not superior to business executives, and coming to college worry because they can't make up their minds what they want to do. It is not cause to worry. There are many men who are not good at application. **Word Often Misused** Do not say, "She has no help at the present time." to express, "She has no servant, or mall." **Word Often Misspelled** Gerus (a class or kind). **Word Often Mispronounced** Boudour, Pronounce dwo-cwar, oo as in "boot," a as in "arm," accent first syllable. **Synonyms** Headstrong, stubborn, unruly, violent, intractable. **Word Study** Use a word three times and it is yours.

Last week a man traveled 3,000 miles back to the jail from he escaped and asked to be locked up again. It matters not how hard times are outside, the people in prison are sure of their three square meals a day. There are so many dishonest people on the outside that a convict only feels safe behind the bars. The employment situation because of pardess of how lay they are, the warden can't fire them until their time is up. Those who are serving life terms are fortunate because they have permanent jobs. In these hard times every police station looks like an employment agency. Tenderherated reformers are turning the prisons into suitor board houses where you don't have to sneak past the landlord to keep from paying the rent. A prisoner can take his friends to a ride in the patrol wagon without arguing about who'll buy the gas. He can turn the radio on in his cell and enjoy the concerts without disturbances. A prisoner may be locked up in body, but he's free in mind. When a man is serving a life term he can take his time about it, but he is sentenced to hang, so he about it with break-neck speed. The Keed Can't Win. Kid Chocolate, the bantamweight battler, has announced his engagement to a Spanish beauty. It's a brilliant record that he has to sign up for a battle in which the odds are all against him. Of course, he might have a chance to be like the tough guy on the minute the minister pronounced them man and wife, struck her in the mouth with his first and said, "Now, wifie, that for nothing, so be careful." The boxer will be able to save a lot of money on training expenses now because after marriage the family tiffs will keep him always in trim. It would be mighty tough on the fighter who had a championship fight scheduled and his wife would let him go out that night. Even a champion would be at a disadvantage in a marital tilt because the modern apartments are built on footwork, but he might stand a chance if they both stick to straight slugging, and no hitting in the clinches. The First Hundred Years are the Hardest. Major Bond, who claims to be his father of the oldest man found by the census takers. It must be mighty uncomfortable for a man that old to be still hanging around a world that believes the good die young. Major Bond attributes his son sojourn to the fact that he doesn't let anything worry him. This is proof that he never tried to keep a worthless son in college. Here is a good formula to keep from worrying about death. You've continued stories in magazines where the story stops just as the heroine is pondering whether she should sell her honor for gold. You worry the whole month until your issue to see if she makes the twenty thousand dollars, which she generally does. Stay away from telephone booths as well as possible or risk being harassed to death with wrong numbers. Never call on a married woman who assures you her husband is out of town. The pleasure you get never mental anuish you experience every time somebody knocks on the door. Never go on pines in a second-hand car. You have some sun, but look how your life is shortened when the bus stalls just as a thunder storm comes up. Never make blind dates. Your mind is disturbed for hours until you meet her, wondering what she is going to look like and she is generally just about as bad as you anticipated. Never write columns for newspapers.

Letters Fail to Save Men NEW YORK. — (ANP) — James Steele and John Harris, colored prisoners at Sing Sing, who recently received a fellow prisoner for the 17-year-old fellow prisoner, were sent on Sunday to the dreaded Clinton Prison at Dammorea. New York. At their recent trial in the plains, the prisoner was placed in a highly railroaded, and in a highly dramatic moment one of them thrust a bundle of letters into the hands of the judge. The judge after looking at the letters which were from prisoners, complained to the judge, to them up ending all talk of the injustice to the men.

STUDYING INDUSTRY, TOO Will also Co-operate with Social Trend Group. NEW YORK.-That the future plans of President Hoover for the social betterment of American citizens will definitely include the Negro was assured by Eugene Knickle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League, in a special report on the league for the past four months. According to the report the Department of Research and Investigations of the National Urban League, Ira De A. Reid, director, is now actively engaged in two studies, both of which are of unusual importance. One study on the care for Dependent Children within the United States is being made at the request of the House Committee on Child Health and Protection; the other, which is a study of Crime Among Negroes. being made for the Wickersham Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement. In this study Mr. Reld is associated with Miss Kleeck and of the study the Industrial Causes for Crime for the Law Observance Commission. Industrial Relations The departments of Research and Industrial Relations are co-operating at present with the Department of Industrial and Occupational Trends of Negro Workers in connection with President Hoover's Commission on Social Trends. In addition to these activities the Department of Research and Investigations has recently published the first authentic study of Negro Membership in American Trade Unions, comprehensive and authoritative, which should prove invaluable to students of labor problems. The Vocational Opportunity Campaign for Negro workers, which was conducted throughout the Department of Industrial Relations of the National Urban League, Arnold Hill, director, attained a marvelous success despite nationwide unemployment. It served to direct the Negro workers to employ their lack of opportunity but also aroused Negro workers to make a fight to hold their jobs. Over 50,000 people were reached by speakers other than the radio, and hundreds of employers were interviewed in behalf In the south Jesse O. Thomas, southern field director, has completed several important surveys of the Negro population. The Houston survey, which is now on the press, will be ready for distribution in the early Fellowship As the field of social work widens increasing numbers of college graduates are seeking the Urban League fellowships. This year 74 candidates made application for the competition examination.

(ANP.) — Three prominent Chicagoans are being questioned in connection with the murder of Mrs. Julia Hawkins, a former owner of the oldest citizens whose body was found in an apartment over a garage in the rear of 4749 South Parkway, Saturday. Those questioned by the coroner and investigators were Arthur Menard, a real estate顾问, S. Menard, insurance broker and W. H. A. Moore, writer and poet. The investigation started here Monday and from testimony submitted it is believed that each of the trio will be held for the grand jury. The woman has been in several days the body was found. What Sort of Folks are Show People? James A. Jackson, Business Specialist of the United of Commerce, was once an Editor on the staff and his business tours enable him to continue h with show folk, thus keeping fresh his observation knows so well and whose vocation h The Habits, Home Connections, Nations of the Traveling Entertain James A. Jackson, Business Specialist of the United States Department of Commerce, was once an Editor on the staff of The Billboard; and his business tours enable him to continue his friendly contacts with show folk, thus keeping fresh his observations of the people he knows so well and whose vocation he loves. WHO are shows folks? Where do they come from? And how do they live? How should one regard them socially? Are they "all right"? These are typical questions that have been propounded to the writer many times by those who are merely curious; others inclined to be prudish; and still other people who have a sub-conscious mental reservation that in an attempt to prove the character of people of the theatres that the chance of an acquaintance with spotting and romantic possibilities will be forthcoming. Since the latter idea is prevalent, it is a pleasure to make whatever arrangements and co-ordinations of movements are needed to create the opportunity for this person to meet a number of selected people of the stage and platform and some musicians from the pit, or some people off of the front door, the mechanical side of the amusement world together with one or more from the allied occupations. There is: certain uncanny sort of devilish joy to be taken in witnessing the metamorphosis of the notions of a man who thought he was going to meet a group of sublimated Tenderloin characters only painfully learn that he is being subjected to a careful scrutiny himself by active advocates of the higher life. One feels gleeful as he shows up the poor mental and moral stult of which this type of mankind is made of through the machinations of those for whom he had previously held small esteem. Any theatrical Editor or Agent; in fact, anyone with an extensive acquaintanceship in the show world is able to do that nasty-nice trick by virtue of the fact that show people, like all people, differ in types. There are as many gradations among them as may be found in any classification based upon occupation which, indeed, is no barometer to the inner characteristics of human beings. Some of our most brilliant barristers are atheists. Bank presidents have been found to be rakes. Society women with every favorable influence have been social derelicts; and bodcarriers have become leaders of D-U D·U·N·B·A·R JOSIAH DIGGS Owner WALTER CARR Manager PROGRAM FOR WEEK OF JULY 21 HEAR the Best TALKIES MONDAY, July 21st—TUESDAY, July 22nd— ALL-STAR CAST in “Bishop Murder Case” All-Talkie Vitaphone Acts Talking Comedy Talking News WEDNESDAY, July 23rd— SPECIAL CAST in “Around The Corner” Vitaphone Acts Talking Comedy Talking News THURSDAY, July 24th— WILLIAM HAINES in “The Girl Said No” Oh Boy!

To those who have regarded show people as a thing apart, let us pass the information that there are two hundred thousand people of all nationalities and natives engaged in the twenty-six different phases of show life in the United States Nearly twenty-five thousand of these are of our social group, speaking racially. There are about 14,000 musicians among us. Perhaps half of these are professional and the others are semi-professional in that they earn part of their incomes at other occasions. Vaudeville, musical comedy, burlesque and the drama furnish the livelihood for about 3,500 people. These are more or less interchangeable positions inasmuch as, for us, necessity precludes one always remaining in his or her preferred field of endeavor. Race restrictions compel our artists to show a certain degree of versatility. The motion picture lots and studios employ about six hundred persons. More than two-thirds of these are in California and down on Long Island, New York, doing "atmosphere" and "mob" stuff, or servant and savage characters with white picture concerns. Those same concerns employ about as many more as personal servants to stars; in dressing rooms, as wig brimmers dressers, etc., not a few actually stars Miss McKinney. Clarence Muse Stepin Fetchit, Dan Haynes, Parin and Noble Johnson are of this calibre. Colored cast picture companies, of which there are but three, average a continuous employment for less than a hundred persons. These three are the Micheaux Film Company of New York and Chicago; the Norman Film Company of Jacksonville, Fla. and the Colored Players Film Company of Philadelphia. These are what remain of more than twenty such enterprises that have come and gone since Hunter Haynes, known in Chicago as a razor strop manufacturer, went to New York and started the pioneer picture producing business that employed a colored cast. There are more than 250 concert artists, vocal and instrumental, perhaps half as many touring individ- uals and groups who play under auspices; that is, they play churches, lodge halls, school houses and such places, under the promotion of a local organization that sponsors the engagement and sells the tickets. A dozen more are somewhat promotional in character. They individually, or in groups of two and three, enter a town and train local talent for shows, pageants, celebrations and dramas. All of these are show people, and this latter group are the instrumentalities for the recruiting of much new talent to the previously named branches of the business. Then comes the outdoor world with its twenty odd minstrel shows, more than a hundred plantation shows with carnivals, a score of medicine shows, a dozen circus sideshow bands, a half hundred novelty acts and treasures its animal trainers and caretakers, the several hundreds decorators and concessioners without whose sales no holiday, convention, anniversary or celebration would be complete. These, perhaps, total approximately two thousand more show folks. Motion picture scenario writers, laboratory employees, operators photographers and a few other technicians account for a couple hundred more. There are more than 4 hundred very active show angles engaged in the business angles—owners, managers, advance and press agents, general agents, promoters and billers. There are known to be more than a hundred colored bill posters in the country, some of whom carry Union cards. Then, to go back within the theater walls, we may take cognizance of the stage managers, electricians, property men, programmers, ushers, shiers and ticket takers. These add eighteen hundred to the list of those to whom show business is a means of livelihood. Outdoors again, we are confronted with the promoters and directors of a hundred fairs and more than thirty parks and similar amusement resorts with the ride mechanics and ticket staff of each device. These lists have not included janitors, scrub women, circus labor, the culinary organizations of great circuses and carnivals, nor the lonely cook that feeds the smaller touring outfits. At that, each and all of the several thousand of these would resent in vigorous terms the implication that they are NOT show people. Now that the occupational divisions have been established, let us give attention to the social aspects of the amusement world. It is to the indoor elements that most interest attaches, hence they shall be given the principal consideration. Some illustrations will best indicate the ramifications of character revelations possible to those who survey the field. There are two big religious activities in show circles. One The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, July 19, 1930 THE C THE C PARIS.—American tourists visiting the Folies Bergere for a thrill got more than they could stand when a scene like that above was enacted in the nude by Fera Bengal, Senegalese dancer, the Mara, blond hairstyle. The Americans started a fight, which was only quelled by the intervention of the police. Whites Could Not Stand Seeing Mixed Nude Dancers in Paris Riot Started when Black Senegalese Takes Blond in Massive Arms at Folies Bergere. PARIS.—American white tourists seeking a thrill at the Folies Bergere got more of a shock than their sensitive natures could endure when a Negro dancer appeared with a blond white partner in the nude. The act which caused the trouble is an elaborate act with a clever arrangement of mirrors giving the illusion of a subterranean grotto. Standing in the center of the grotto is the statuesque onyx-like figure of a huge nude Senegalese, billed as Fera Bengal. Kitty Mara, blond dauseuse, appears gracefully attired in nothing but her own gleaming white skin and proceeds to do a voluptuous dance calculated to enthrall her colored partner. Show Stopped The audience, at least a third of which were American, began murmuring its disapproval the minute Kitty appeared on the stage. Steadily increasing each sinuous suggestive contortion, the dancers reach a climax at the finish of the act when the dusky Senegalese claps his exhausted partner in his arms. There was a mad din of whistles, hoots, cat-calls and stamping. The show was temporarily stopped while the police tried to restore order. Scores of Americans, who could not bear seeing their idea of race support thus hold up to mockery, outked and it was several minutes. The act will remain a part of the revue, in spite of the American protests. is the Actors' Church Alliance, a Protestant organization that numbers more than twenty thousand of the before mentioned two hundred thousand people in the show business. Many of these are people of the darker hues. The Catholic Actors' Guild, numbering about half as many members, likewise includes a number of colored performers. We wonder whether thirty people out of each hundred of all other trades and professions are active members of a religious organization? Adhering strictly to our own, hereafter, may we ask: Do you know that an organization called the Deacons Club of Prince Hall Masons with 37 branches called "Amen Corners" sustains contacts with a minister of the gospel, a doctor and an attorney in each of that many key towns for such traveling Masons as may be in show business and in need of professional advice and counsel while away from their home lodges? Do you know that the Masonic teachings are fabricated upon the Holy Bible? The connection is obvious. You may not know that the Grace Congregational Church of Harlem is the largest and most active, yet one of the youngest churches of that denomination in the United States, and you may not be aware that Rev. Alexander Garner numbers more than three hundred show people and their families on the membership register of that church. Several other churches have actor memberships of somewhat less numerical strength. Some concrete examples of the religious scruples of show folk are here submitted. Sarah Martin, the amiable blues singer, whose records may be found in many homes, so thoroughly hates what she regards as an irreverence that she absolutely refused to work on a program with the act of Hooten and Hooten who do a comedy turn based upon the rantings of an old-identignant minister, in which Mr. Hooten, made up to character, recites the alphabet—A, B, B, etc., in a sonorous and melodic imitation of the emotional preacher. Miss Martin sacrificed, not only a week's work at $200, but lost more time to have the agents alter her route to avoid this act for the season. Just to show the eternal similarity of mankind and how divergent people's views may be upon the subject of religion; it is a bit of irony to relate that Hooten and Hooten are both sustaining members of a big Baltimore Baptist. Church. They own their home in that city and both are fraternally connected. He is a Mason and his wife is a member of the Order of Eastern Star. Hooten insists that his act does not reflect upon religion, but helps materially to crystallize public opinion against the mountebank who may be found preying upon our people in the name of religion. He is opposed to ignorance in the pulpit and is trying to have it laughed out of the holy places. Now, don't those show people dif- dance calculated to enthrall her colored partner.

Scores of Americans, who could not bear seeing their idea of race superiority thus held up to mockery, walked out and the crowd will remain a part of the revue, in spite of the American protests. fer with the same right to do so as all other people enjoy where their religious views are involved? It may interest you to recall that Noble Sissle is the son of a minister of the Methodist church, long stationed in Cleveland and Indianapolis, and that Noble himself has spent many Sundays in the choir loft of those and other churches. Rev. Moses, a New York Baptist divine, has two daughters in the chorus. Miss Boyd, the leading lady in a Norman Company picture but recently showed in colored theatres, is the daughter of Rev. Boyd of Nashville, head of the great Baptist Publishing house, and granddaughter of another eminent divine of the same name. Miss Pettiford, concert artist and character actress in a Micheaux film completed, was the daughter of a Michigan minister. Bessie Allison, acclaimed as one of America's five most beautiful women, was at that time with no sister in the chorus of "Chocolate Dandies;" had been in "Shuffle Along," and was once with a group of eight others in an otherwise white musical comedy on Broadway. She is a daughter of the late Charles Allison, for thirty years the treasurer of New York's largest colored congregation. Another sister was for ten years editor of "The Horizon," a feature in the Crisis magazine; a brother is a probation officer in New York City. All are graduates. Wells and Wells, acrobats, and man and wife, would rather cancel a date than miss church on Sunday. They know not the night life, nor will they tolerate promiscuous contacts in shows with which they travel. It would bring tears of joy to many if they could see, as has the writer, the bulging curtains that betold of the many boys and girls kneeling down before berths are they retired on the crowded cars of the Silas Green show and other one-day stand organizations. Now, lest one be accused of making a one-sided picture, let it be known that we have also heard some awful brawls take place on these same cars, and have seen some terrible conduct take place in theatrical hotels. But the point we are making is, that the Whole must not be judged by any part of it. Characters are as assorted in show business as elsewhere. Miss Susie Sutton (Mrs. Tom Prown) resident of Chicago, and widow of the famed actor, inherited from her husband a library that would make any college president, editor or minister, violate the commandment not to covet. Jess B. Shipp, possesses another such collection of worth while books. He, like Tom, when Tom lived, is welcomed in cultural circles not open to many because they lack the liberal education that is the sesame to those portals.

"Blackbirds," "Chocolates," Torkins Revue, Seem Certain. NEW YORK. (ANP.)—Although contracts have been signed by a number of performers for appearances in Donald Heywood's latest musical offering, "The King," the satire on Marcus Garvey's affairs, there is some doubt as to its appearance on Broadway as early as expected. A number of stars have been signed for appearances in this production, who are well-known on the Great White Way. No less than six colored productions are planned for the coming season which promise to give employment to the biggest number of colored actors yet. Of the six, only two are positive of production, Leslie's "Blackbirds," and Connie's second edition of "Hot Chocolates." Leslie Has Stars Of these two, Leslie seems to have corraled the brightest stars, for he now has under contract, Ethel Waters, George Cooper, Aida Ward, Minta Cato, Hilda Perilino, Valada Snow, any one of whom would grace any production, and then they are, Moses, the superstar Tucker Miller and Mantan, the latter supplanting Lyle in the famous team, and a number of specialty dancers. Connie's plans are not being broadcast as strongly as are those of Leslie because Connie's allure is 400,000 and he is first fixture, while Lew is said to have cleaned up close to half a million with all of his various companies working. Chorus Girls Lose Those who are more keenly interested in the theatre than the stars are the chorines who are disgusted with theatrical conditions in general in New York City. There are only two houses in which they can work unless they are employed in the night clubs, and the pace in the The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly THE FILM "THE LOVE OF THE WEEK" BY JOHN HARRISON, A FILM BY JOHN HARRISON, A FILM BY JOHN HARRISON GLADYS SCOTT, versatile specialty dancer at Canton Palace in New York.

The two major companies mentioned above and Marty Porkins's new outfit, which will co-star those two famous individuals, Bojangles Robinson and Adeladele Moon, will use about sixteen girls each, giving forty-eight employment. If "The King" ever hits Broadway, there will be another sixteen, making that practice and getting报酬, for the winter season in the hopes of landing a fat engagement with one of the big companies where the pay is better and working conditions not quite so hard as playing the four-a-day shows in Harlem.

Some had never cotton grow, and to them it must been an old canvas come to one day when we crossed on the way to the opposite bank of the river on the way to the bayon, we had wait a short time for the cars to unloaded off the boat, the round trip was beside the unline there was an ordinary sized pipe in smoke pouring out of a pipe brought the top. Find "Slavery" Yet Exists We walked over out of pure curiosity and there we found an aged negro woman, busy cooking dinner or her "white" family away in the eds. The family was composed of mother, father and three children. The Negro woman occupied the one-on-one tent with the family of five, the furniture in the tent consisted of iron beds, and a monkey stool, not was boiling on the stove, and the old woman was stirring up some bread. On one of the beds sat then. Puzzled, we asked the woman what he was doing on the bed. She formed us that every day about one hour this her got up on the bed and the egg for the corn bread, his we thought, was certainly the set word in system and co-operation. Dad Gray, pappy of the picture, rested the woman and found that he was a few years younger than he was around eighty years of age. he was wizened and a little towered over us almost untouchable, with four score and five years. Into what differs is that he been a slave and he even then little more, cooking elaborating for a family of whites familiarly as ignorant and poor as his slave, but came up through the door to star in one of the most imitative motion pictures ever screened. On our way to the bayou we crossed wooden bridge and came enough to permit our cars to pass abreast. There was deep drop to a densely vegetated ramp beneath. Although a number of scenes were not to think any of them appeared in the finished picture, touch one of the "bayou" shots was tarded a prize as the most beautiful still" of the month in a leading newspaper. At the farmhouses along the bayou we cast purchased many an appetizing lunch of hot, fried chicken and pierrel and on such occasions the occasion was a scenic ground after anything else. Had Different Lunches While on the subject of lunches, it might be mentioned that there was such fun in guessing what the company lunch would consist of, each time. We may of course that there was special box for the white crew, but did not know how far the difference ent. Well, one day Wanda Tuckok, the senior writer, was soliciting of the comfort of Mrs. Fannie Belle Eke, Knutcht, the "Mammy," gave her an extra lunch that was left in the social box. Mammy was sitting in back of one of the doors, her useless lunch to her. It seemed that I was sitting beside and naturally noted what was in $4.00 Charlottesville, Va. $4.50 Lynchburg, Va. $5.50 Danville, Va.

To our astonishment there were two pieces of the best fried chicken, large piece of chocolate cake, an orange and other appetizing tuna. Now we had found ham in our lunch daily until we had begun to share the Jewish aversion to it, when the Madame generously shaved the ham we smacked away with keen relish. From the moment she noted the contents of the box, Madame Doe would be more likely to would not be wise to divulge the secret to the others, since it would only make them more dissatisfied, but as she finished the lunch she forgot and threw the chicken bones out of the Somebody saw them in flight, and inquired suspiciously, "slipped ham bones come from?" There was no reply. But the questioner was insistent. "Madane," where he was standing, "husband handed it to me." Mammy answered coolly, lifting her eyebrows in all innocence. After all it was the truth, partly at Visit One-Man Town For the off shots in the opening scenes of "Hallucinja," we went to Wilson, Arkansas, a little town that we were told owed a lot to the owner, who the town is named. The scenes were taken in a field belonging to Wilson, who, it was said, owns some 20,000 acres of cotton and conducts experiments to make of cotton on an immense scale. One did not have to stay in Wilson long to know the relationship between the whites and the blacks. Many of the residents turned out to see the making of the picture, and the whites congregated along the edge of the field, behind the cameras. Wilson stood chatting. One glanced over to the group of local colored people and pointing to one of the women said to her company, "What did you do with nigger?" and they laughed heartily. Evidently the object of her remark overheard it, for she looked at them and grinned, apparently tickled to be noticed. For the New York delegation, they went quietly about their business, paying no attention whatever to the onlookers, for they realized that one woman could have precipitated serious trouble. One colored man drove up in a fine automobile and was introduced to the group. It developed that he "stood in" with the boss of the team to exact his demands, and he had the "joint" run for Nrores in the community. Needless to say, it was owned by the white man, who, rumor had it, paid his cotton pickers twenty-five cents more on the hundredth others. The Negro had his misdemeanor, for he promptly got it and the long run through the amusement place. The Negro proudly displayed for our admiring gaze a gold pencil studded with diamonds, he stood and had the hours marked with diamonds and cost $1.250. We noted no such prosperity among the other Negro inhabitants. (To be Continued Next Week) CLEVELAND THEATRES By GEORGE D. TYLER With the hot, sultry days of summer on hand the Globe Theatre has closed its door with a sign out from "Open Early in August" and by bringing up O.B.A. here and by closing Cleveland is left without legitimate attractions for a spell. "Those in the know" say that the Globe may not open as reported, due to the fact that producers believe the public is withholding because the theatre is withholding its financial support. Those few that are attending the theaters are so small that it does not pay a producer to drag a real attraction out on the road, especially over the water, but the performers that have graced the boards of the leading theatres of the country in late years are in town. Some unemployed, some just barely scrapping that one meal. Lapsed in passing: Hope Black the sensational airplane Charleston dancer, and wife.

Anna Mary Coulson, the newly superseded head of the department of music of the recently organized program of leisure activities for our group is in town and at work. Miss Coulson, a West Chester, Pa. girl, comes to our music colony with matured and developed gradually, will afford a large opportunity for Negro citizens of all classes and all stations in life to get real joy out of the competition in wholesome musical projects. Miss Coulson is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, with the degree of bachelor of fine arts, a former student at Rutgers College, has done social work at several places. It is very gratifying to note, in discussing with Miss Coulson several phases of her new work, that she realizes the importance of the P.A.L. project, must grow by easy stages, and while dynamic enthusiasm seems to be a part of the young woman's personality, she does not propose to begin with the P.A.L. project, but she productions, which in time would dwindle to a mere shadow, and the young lady is right. Baltimore has had experience with city-wide projects which have exhibited some common season only to die to be buried without any mourners. Given a fair chance and the proper co-operation, the program outlined by the P.A.L. should be productive of much good here in our good wishes. We wish Miss Coulson much success. Local Teachers in New York Music teachers in the local public school system have made a name for themselves Jaja Jackson, Mildred I.

Charles L. Harris, the conductor, and his men are shiestheir to the band. Their programs are varied and the best literature in the field of band music is played. At the concert recently played at Lafayette Square their reading of the well-known "Tannhauser March" was a thing of the moment. The band also attempted the popular and highly imaginative overture "Atlantis". The group did not succeed in making it popular, and the number. The program also included some popular numbers which were well received. MOVIE GOSSIP BY HARRY LEVETTE LOS ANGELES, CAliL.—(ANP.)

Once on the other side of the well-guarded walls, instead of being disillusioned the average visitor comes away thriller awesomely. The movie and accompanying magnitude of the industry, and the wonders of transferring life to a celluloid strip. If a visitor headed this way will walk a line to "Your Gossip," there is always possibility of arranging for visits to the largest studios, and will gladly be done.

The fault lies in the fact that most of the dialogue of the natives is recorded in the book, and many do not for the motion picture trade, hence many of the scenes will have to be made by English speaking natives from Central Avenue. Pair skinned colored girls are frequently painted on the walls alone, regardless of their talent; it would be necessary to make them unnaturally dark to fill some parts. Occasionally this experience, though, because of her vivid personality and ability to screen well, direction, and emotion, has occasioned to tone down her color. But last week at First National, they had to give up, for the contrast between her as male and female players, not sufficiently marked to portray a mistake in identities to be made by her 'mistress' ardent love. Lawrence Criner, former heavy of the Lafayette players, can give some tips, but not sufficiently marked in geniality.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, July 19, 1930 SISSLE ORCHESTRA WON JOB ON MERIT Prominent European a nd American. Musicians Wanted Post at Ambassadeurs. Leader Believes Negro Musi cians' Power Returning. By J. A. ROGERS PARIS.—Noble Sissle, with his orchestra, is now playing at the Ambassadeurs on the Champs-Elysse and will remain until the close of the season. The Ambassadeurs is perhaps the prize job of the two continents, and after it had been remodeled some of the most noted orchestra leaders of Europe and America applied for the position, but Sissle won out on his record. Interviewed at the Ambassadeurs by this writer, Sissle saw in his winning of this coveted position something significant for the future of colored musicians, in general. Recalling the triumphs of Jim Europe, with whom he played in Europe during the war, and with colored musicians, generally speaking, lost out after they had become a vogue. Soon after the war, he added, no society leader would have given an affair without a Negro orchestra; later, it became a rarity. "The Negro," he said, "was the real inventor of the jazz music now popular, immediately after the war, the jazz music of the noisy music to cheer it up. Later, however, that was superseded by soft, symphonic music still of jazz origin, and here was where most of our Negritos came. Just where the white ones came in. Not Novelty Now "At first, the Negro was a novelty. Often he had just to appear on the scene, but soon that ceased to be true, and today with the movies and talks doing all that colored people are doing, they are less a novelty than a threat." When the time for softer music came in, then came more than ever the time for the use of brains. This, the white musicians, who had been imitating Negroes, used, while the Negroes continued to rely on their natural talent; but entertaining them was real cleverness these days." Has Rich Clientle And this we were able to perceive for ourselves. The Ambassadeurs have multi-millionaires, statesmen, kings, prime ministers, diplomats, kings of commerce; in short, people who are accustomed to the best and who have seen more than one thing, seeing in the latter a moment of amusement. But Noble Sissle knows his business, and even to a psychologist it is astonishing to see the gathering of people and even bored appearance at first to one of real gavety under his touch. In fact, it takes not only real brains to devise such a program as to understand the nature of human nature and long experience. "The Negro." says Sissle, "can make people laugh. That is is art. But, in thinking, it is being undignified. Why, there is no greater gift than that of being able to create laughter. It is an art, and nothing wins friendships, which is such a success. Why need Any Negro have done that? No. He would say he is burlesquing the race. But no individual or group is ever really until they can laugh at themselves. Must Be Able to Deliver "But, he added, "some new men are entering the field, and if this keeps up the Negro will soon ingress in the public, the public only likes the colored musician, but he must be able to deliver the goods." He also paid a high tribute to the Cief Club, and other combinations that had been keeping up to the standard. Stissie is really a great ambassador of the Negro race to Europe. With his orchestra, he enters the homes of some of the great social leaders, winning friends among some of the great ones of the earth, showed us letters from some of the persons he had played, was soon to play. Lands Other Stars When we spoke of him as being an embassador, he quickly replied; ambassador, he quickly resigned, "And don't forget that I was a Roland Haves, Layton and Johnstone, the Four Harmony Kings, and many others. In some quarters there is a definite propaganda against the colored musicians, entertainers, and we need all such good men as we were." In his orchestra are the following: Thomas Lafenner, second trumpet; Summer Edwards, bass violin; violin; Colossus bass; William Buras, trombone; Arthur Briggs, first trumpet; trombone; drum; William Buras, second trumpet; axophone; Frank Bribridge, violin and banjo; James Revy, trombone; Antonio Spaulding, piano; Ramon Ueser, tenor saxophone; Frank Goulden, second trumpet; Frank Goulden, clarinet; and Dilany Haris, stage manager.

It is no uncommon thing, if you know your town topics, for heavysugared dames to release their shekels to certain members of the male species in return for their company, et cetera. But when college boys make it a real business, This Thing Called The Love Racket has developed, and there you are. At one of the rotogravure institutions of learning it is reported that elephants love to make high grades. With them never worry about making high grades in order to get some of the few scholarships offered by that institution. They DO get scholarships, but they make much marks, but their marks are made in the advanced courses in necking and love-making and the scholarships are provided by the love-sick just must have someone to love 'em. Working your way through college with them depends entirely upon who they will "work." Work is a skill, bounded with an air of braggadocio that easily marks them. They are soft-voiced, smooth-mannered and observing, having a ready supply of tools and equipment all the arts of love. For four years some of them live sumptuously and care-free, showering their attentions upon their lady loves and answering every beck and cue to an obedience that is almost sickening. But the thing that is going to cause more than a little trouble it has caused some of them, having made ardent declarations of love and promises of marriage upon graduation, are sneaking out of the back gate at each commencement, leaving the door open as they depart for parts unknown. While some of the defrauded women have taken their losses with a softer hand, more are more inclined to say it with bullets or with razahs, and all of the skill developed in dodging thru the line has not been sufficient to enable some of the scholarship lads to escape unscatted. They spreads and in a week or two there will be some choice and spicy morsels of gossip; ready to be devoured by just such readers as you. —or Not to Jazz And now comes another angle in the debate on jazz, furnished by an English writer, who says: "The Kennedys has been warming thousands schoolgirls at Rye, in the Isle of Wight, against the allurements of jazz, which he denounced as "horrible stuff, and a vulgarisation of spirit." The highbrows, who regard life as a solitary funnel, are as little likely to cease denouncing jazz as the lowbrows are to be persuaded to dislike and reconciling their views. It is a question of taste about which, as we learnt from the latin grammar in our schooldays, there can be no argument.* Whether you shall like it or not, denounce your temperament, you are an introspective, loving to brood over your moods, and if you are, also middle-aged, then you will regard jazz as mere decapony, and a rebellion against civilisation. For it appeals to the young and active: it calls to them of the joy of living. It came as war came and grief to spirits oppressed by the aftermath of the Great War. It has caught on and endured because it reflects the murky but beautiful present moment because it drives away morbid thoughts, and sets the feet of eager youth tripping on the road of pleasure. It is inspired by deep, vivid imagery of rapid movement born of the age of the motor-car, the speed-boat, and the aeroplane. You must pass; in due time it will go the way of all fashions; it will be relegated to the limbo of the old moons, and be superseded by something never before seen. If that it on the wane. While the gloomy highbrows croak, the young and joyous dance, and laugh at the croakers.

Biblical Note Here is another story about Richard B. Harrison, the 66-year-old Connelly's play, The Green Pestures. Soprano at A. and T. A large audience Thursday night in Murphy Hall at A. and T. College Greensboro, N.C., heard Ethyl B. Wise, coloratura soprano, in recital. The first three groups were operatic music and the last two groups were made up of Negro spirituals and in these two divisions the artist wore her greatest plaudits. "Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Chile," "My Good Lawd Done Been Heal," "Ahm a Po Lil Odphan in Dis Worl," and De O' Arks a Movin' were in the Mr. Harrison, it is reported, was in the offices of the Immense Thespian Agency, seeking some actors to be the "Macheth," and had no idea of ever taking a part in the Connell play. For a long time this agency had been seeking an actor to play the part of God. As Harrison told me, the story goes, the agency manager, heaving a great sigh of relief, reached for the telephone and called Marc Connellly. "Mr. Connellly," he said, "I have God down here, I have no need for a suitable player so long, Mr. Connellly had almost despaired of finding one, when the telephone call came. Mr. Harrison, summoned to the rehearsal hall, gave a quiet speech, and proved to be the ideal type. And what happened since is familiar history. A large audience Thursday night in Murphy Hall at A. and T. College, Greenboro, N.C., heard Ethyl B. Wise, coloratura satura, in recital.

"Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Chile," "My Good Lawd Done Been Heah," "Ahm a Po Lil Odphan in Dis Worl," and "De O! Arks a Movin" were in the fifth. In the fifth were "Come with Mc.

On all sides were steep hills, green with foliage of bushes and trees, with here and there settlements of miners' houses perched on the sides. It was an area of twisting valleys and gullies, with turbulent little streams rushing this way and that, tortuous roads that tried the skill of the best automobile drivers and very occasionally a level place scooped out of the sides of the hills. The skies were clear and blue most of the time and the air was pure and invigorating. The people, white and colored, mostly cost miners, brewers, and farmers, and she created a camaraderie and understanding (tolerance between the races that was very pleasing. She felt that she would like this country. For five dollars a week she got a room in the home of Mrs. Allen, a school teacher, and after a few days she was fortunate enough to obtain a job as waitress in a colored restaurant. This was new a work for her. Verma was a scattable girl. She was always neat and clean, polite and charming to all, and because of beauty the little eating place drew twice as many customers and ever boasted. She received so many tips from his religious miners that she confidently looked forward to the time when she could leave and go to the great city of New York. Verna Attracts Again Then came Dr. Charlie Meyers. He was a dentist with offices not far from the restaurant. Ever since Verna had taken the job as waitress, he was always a day flattering her, making violent love to her, but she treated him the same as the others. Her attitude puzzled him. All through his college years he had been known as a lady killer. Tall, grateful and suave, with strong features and a resonant voice, he had always had his way with the girls whenever he had cared to. Verna, he supposed, would be no different. "Listen, Sweek," he said one day when she had been working at the restaurant for almost a month, "why don't you give me a 'break'?" "Meaning what, Doctor Meyers?" she fenced. "Now don't upstage me, brownskin, you know what I mean," he perked. "No I don't," she fibbed, cleaning the counter and smiling ruggily. "Come now, Verna, let's be friends." "Come now?" Verna asked mischief. Of course, but that's not the right. I'd like to have you to go out with me sometime. For instance, how about a little ride this afternoon?" Verna hesitated for a minute. She did not want to offend Dr. Meyers. He was a good customer and a very likable chap, but she had no desire to indulge in any of the roman or pastimes, and she knew that that invariably expected in automobile ride, Friends had told her of the speed with which Dr. Meyers worked. And yet, although she had been in Welch almost a month, she had seen none of the surrounding country or any of the little settlements far up the gulfs and cuts of which she heard all of the customers speak. It would be nice to go driving around in Dr. Meyers's long, low coupe. After all, the knee enough now to hold men at their distance. "Well," he spoke again, "you're not afraid and you are? Do you think I'll get you." "Who said anything about being afraid?" she came back, arching her long narrow eye-brows. "Come back to two-thirty and I will show you whether I'm afraid or not." "Bully for you, kid!" he boomed, enthusiastically. "I'll be back here with bells on and show you every book and cranny of McDowell Street." "Just Like All Men" He was as good as his word, and well after the time stated, they still speeding in and out the wind-rails. He was a good driver and the dangers of the torious roads made the trip quite thrilling. They often nestled around cool breakers. Several times they stopped at certain points to enjoy an unusually good view, and Vernt was rather surprised that Dr. Meyers made none of the usual overtures she had expected and had determined to repulse. He would look at her steadily and covetously, but that was all. Nevertheless, there CHAPTER SIX Verna Attracts Again "Just Like All Men" "You Know What I Mean," He Persisted "Listen Sweet," he said one day, "why don't you give me a break?" SYNOPSIS was something in his grey eyes that told her the rumors about him were not exaggerated. Towards sunset he stopped the car near: the top of a high hill from which the surrounding country was visible for miles around. As the cool evening air bathed their faces, he turned suddenly in his seat, deftly put one arm around Verna's delicately curled hand and kissed her firmly and at length. "Don't do that!" she almost shouted, when she was able to speak. "I don't like that sort of thing at all. Dr. Meyers. I thought you be different enough not to try it." "Humph!" he exclaimed, with a grin, "did you think I could resist your charms, my dear? And after all, I haven't hurt you. If you knew how to handle you, you would begrudge me a little kiss." "It seems to me, Doctor. she re- plied haughtily, "that embraces ought to be mutual affairs. That is to say, they should be desired and sougat by both parties. You are a nice fellow and all of that sort swear you don't 'don't' kisses for no reason other than to be doing it. I think that sort of thing cheapens a girl--makes her common." "I'm sorry," he returned, soberly "but you looked so beautiful that I just couldn't resist the temptation . . . Why don't you get married, Verna? You are so young and beautiful. You would make an ideal wife." "Oh, Yes?" "You sure would," he emphasized "I'm marry you myself if you would have me." Verna lowered her eyes in confusion. There it was again. Every man that saw her wanted to marry her, but neither Dick Colvin, mild Baxter nor Hugh Godfrey had been as desirable as Charlie Meyers. He was well-educated, handsome, quite wealthy and had a rapidly growing practice. "Wants to Live Her Own Life" "I'm afraid I couldn't do that, Doctor, you're replied. "I've got plans for my future. I intend to have everything I want in this life and I intend to make it all myself. I'm not going to be the pretty, useless doll of any man, even a fine man like you." "You talk just like a man," he commented, derisively. "Well, why shouldn't I?" she challenged. "Haven't I as much right as a man to make my own way?" "What's the use of bothering to make your own way when I can give you my name and protection and everything you want?" he asked, plaing one hand gently on her. "Would you want to be dependent on someone else?" she inquired earnestly. "Of course not. I'm capable of making my living," he said proudly. "Well, I feel the same way. When I've done the things I set out to do, it'll be time enough for me to be thinking about matrimony." THE AFRO-AMERICAN WALTER GLASTON Brilliant Negro Fiction Writer rights," he sneered. "That's correct. I believe a woman can accomplish as much as a man, given the training and opportunity. What's more, I think it is her duty to do so; to make a name for herself, before she goes getting tied up in marriage. I want to be something in my own right." The dentist did not reply, but sighed heavily and started the car. As they drove along he studied Verna's profile out of the corner of his eye. He thought her the most beautiful and charming creature he had ever seen, but he wondered what had put such "foolish" notions into her head. Careers, he felt, were all right for ugly women, but not for goddesses. Dr. Meyers availed himself of every opportunity to be in Verna's company, and as often as they were alone together, he proposed. She grew weary of telling him that she did not want to marry, and began to w-h there was so much to do, he was very scrupulous and considerate, but he was also too much addicted to petting, and Verna emphatically did not like the nailing type of man. Hence, with considerable relief, she learned one day that the superintendent of a large coal operation in a nearby valley was looking for a combination cook and housemaid. She took the bus up midday and immediately told Mrs. Meyers, the superintendent's wife, how much she knew about the sort of work they wanted done. Verna Meets: Margot Yancey "But you're so young, child," objected the kindly old lady. "I'm wondering whether you will do. We pay very well but the work is exacting and . . ." "Suppose I try it until the end of the week," Verna interrupted, "and then if I don't make good, I'll not want any pay." Mrs. Yancey was impressed. Evidently, she thought to herself, this girl is anxious to get ahead, and since she is so confident, she is probably competent. So Verna got the job and bade Weich goodbye. And she made good from the start. Mean," He Persisted in Sweet," he me day, "why you give me a It was something of a relief to get away from the town, the crowds of admirers that flocked to the restaurant, and particularly the attentions of Dr. Meyers. He tried to persuade her not to go but she wouldn't listen to him; not even when he offered her a job in his office as attendant. She realized what that might lead to. She had been with the Yancey's about six months, their daughter, Margot Yancey, who was an artist in New York City, came to visit her parents. She was a tally stately blonde of great beauty, who kept her hair bobbed very closely wearing clingy gowns that accentuated her statuesque form. affected an English drawl and smoked long Russian cigarettes which she held nonchalantly between perfectly manicured fingers. "My word!" she exclaimed, when she first saw Verna. "Where did you positively, stunning colored girl? Apparently, she is physically perfect. If I had my paints and brushes down here I would certainly do a portrait of her." "Why, Margot!" exclaimed her mother, "you wouldn't bother to waste your time painting a servant girl, would you?" "Oh, I say, Moms," Margot replied, "don't be silly. The girl is ravishingly pretty and a real artist drawn to beauty, no matter what its color may be. One must not be many of the most handsome people in the United States are colored." "All right," said the old lady, "but it just don't seem right to me. I never heard of such business down in Georgia. Her First Real Encouragement Two or three days later. Verna was in the dining room setting the table and singin, at her work as a singer. She was crooning but her astonishingly sweet soprano voice seemed to the room with the atmos of spring and flowers. Suddenly the door opened and Maro Yancey came in with a look of puzzled enthusiasm on her face. "Was that you singing, Verna?"

FOR God's sake Harriet," Phil hissed under his breath as we stood alone in the dark upper hallway, "don't tell me you do not love me. I can't stand it, you hear, she azed with ill-concealed excitement. "Why, yes," Verna replied, wondering what was up. "Well, you have a splendid voice," gushed Margot. "You're just wasting your time here, my child. You'd have to come to New York and have that voice cultivated, my dear. It's just wonderful; just wonderful!" "Do you think I could make a live-singing?" Verna inquired timidly, as a vision of a brighter future opened up before her. "Don't be silly, Verna. You have an exceptional voice." Margot assured her. "You can make a fortune with it if you go about it the right way. You have ever thought about it?" Verna asked. "Yes, Maam!" said Verna. "I've always dreamed about it, thinking possibly I could do well there if I got a good chance." "Well, now you're more sensible than most folks and much smarter than I thought you were. If you ever do come to New York, come right to my studio at this address (she handed Verna a card from her handbag) and I'll look out for you. Understand?" Margot. "Verna was overjoyed, although she tried to conceive it as much as possible. Here at las, was an opportunity and she already had over one hundred dollars saved. She was in such good spirits that when Dr. Meyers drove up to the house that evening and asked for her, she did not have the heart to turn him away. "So you've found me at last, eh? she commented, smiling wryly. "I have," he remarked soberly, "and I hope I won't lose you again. Why didn't you tell me where you were going? You came out here and buried yourself. What's the idea?" "Well, Doc, I wanted to be away from everything. You ought to understand that, after what I told you about my ambitions, but, of course, you won't." "Maybe not," he conceded, "but what I am particularly anxious for you to do is to let me take to the big Elks' ball tonight in Welch. It's going to be a fair affair and I know you'll enjoy yourself. I would have asked you before, but I just want to today where you were—the boy who works next door told me." "I'll go, Doc," said Verna, "if you promise me there'll be no mauling. As long as you just treat me as a good pal everything is all right." good partery, being "I promise to be good, Beautiful!" he grinned. "Til wait out here until you get ready." Then . . . I can't stand it!" He held me by the wrist, his body close to mine while his snapping black eyes bored me through and through. I winced from the pain of his strong grip, yet the touch of his steely fingers seemed to fill me with some strange, surging urge. "How can you ask such a thing?" I countered, averting my gaze from his. "How can you keep on annoying me this way when you am your brother, what would I be asking you? Why, Phil, I besithe would kill you and me, too." "Oh, no he wouldn't," he sneered, extending his powerful right arm with the fist clenched, "not so long as I have two of these." "Don't you see, Phil," I pleaded, "that we can't go on this way. We must stop it. You must let me alone." His lip curled disdainfully but there was a light of boyish eye in his big, laughing eyes. He leaned against the banister and eyed me with amusement as he jerked to me, six feet-of-tall brownness and grasping my other wrist, bent over and planted a kiss squarely on my lips. Then relinquishing his hold on both wrists, tuned without a word and ran rapidly downstairs. He was not a moment too soon, for I heard John come into the house and slam the door just a few seconds later. I dragged myself to the room and am: awoken on the floor, breaking from the strain, the ordeal of fighting off the affections of the ardent Philip. John Started It It all started when, a year before, John and I were married. I wanted John and myself to take a house of our own but he wouldn't hear of it. Wasn't any use, he said, when there were only three others in his family and they had a big house close to his place of business. He was at all crowded or uncomfortable. He had been so good and so gallant that, although I had always wanted a home of my own, I gave in to his wishes. Everythi- $g$ was as John had predicted, with the exception of his younger brother, Philp. My father-in-law and mother-in-law were loveable old people who were more of a help than a hindrance to but Philp disturbed me the first, and then he disturbed the soul of politeness and chivalry. On the contrary, he was all that a brother-in-law should be. Strong and Brown The trouble was that Philip was too handsome, approached too near my ideal of a man. He was so different from his brother, John, that An hour and a half later Dr. Meyers and Verna entered the large auditorium where the dance was being held. Already the place was well filled. They checked their wraps and as the orchestra was playing a hot dance number they went right to the floor. On the second circuit of the hall, someone gripped Verna by the arm and restrained her. She turned to see who it was and there before her stood Dick Colvin! He looked very natty in a well-fitting dinner suit, better, in fact, than she had ever imagined seeing him. "Verna, Honey," he almost shouted. "I'm sure glad to see you." "How do you do, Dick," she replied very coolly. She had not forgotten his antics. "You're looking well. How are the folks at home?" "Oh, they're all right," he said, "but can I have this next dance? I've got a whole lot to say to you." "There isn't anything for you to say to me, Dick. I've heard it all best." "Don't you think you better go ahead?" queried the angry Dr. Meyers. "The lady doesn't want your game." He pushed Dick aside and started to lead Verna away. With a curse and a lunge, Dick crashed his great, hard, hamlike fist into the Doctor's face and he fell with a dull thud. Immediately, the hall was in an uproar. Arround the two a crowd had burst into the room. Meyers was 'soon up on his feet and giving a good account of himself. Verna stood aside, shocked, disgusted and mortified. When she could do so unobserved, she ran over to the check room, got her wrap and slipped out into the cool night. As she waited for the late bus to come by to take her back to her service place, she thought again for the first time in a long while of the charm Grandma Nash had given her. She reached into her bosom and felt of its smooth surface and knew that again she was being warned of impending danger. She must get away, not remain. She thought of the dull anger in Dick Colvins' eyes and she shuddered. He the kind that would kill, and she wanted nothing to do with him. If would probably be best to go away. She thought of New York City and, what Margot Yancey had promised, and resolved to go there. *(To be Continued Next Week)* Does Margot Yancey prove to be a sincere friend to Verna? See the next installment. the contrast was startling. John was 35, rather plump, not good looking, spodgy, commonplace, unable to dance or sing, a bookworm and a man thoroughly absorbed in his business. Philip had the features of a young god, was clean, slender, brown giant, gifted with great conversational powers, a sharp wit, a rich baritone voice, loved social life, and was an adorable dancer. He was always dressed in the heightion and seemed to have been poured into his clothes. John on the other hand, always looked as if he were dresse, in someone's cast-off clothing, even though he had just paid fifty dollars for the suit he happened to be wearing. Husband Stodgy I had not been overwhelmingly in love with John when I married him, but was I to be a fool and for that reason turn down an opportunity to marry a man who cleared $7,000 a year in the radio business? I respected him, admired his talent and was loyal to him, but I did not feel toward him that depth of throbbing, permeating affection that I had always felt I must experience really in love. John had been so good so me that I wanted to be to him everything a wife should be. That was all. Then. I had seen Philip and was drawn to him by some strange force, something compelling in the haughty majesty of his demeanor. I was the facialization of his heavy-lipped eyes, the caress of his resonant voice, the touch of his warm, smooth brown, well-manicured fingers. With all my power, I fought his silent influence while he never for a moment revealed in any way that his feelings toward me were other than those of a brother-in-law. Natural: I was doubly watchful that I reveal in my way my secret feelings. I was loyal to my husband, grateful to him for his manifold kindnesses and courtesies and would rather offend him in any way, or give him cause for the slightest suspicion. Husband Out Late Then John began to be busier, making and installing sets. His work kept him out at all hours. Sometimes he would have to stay in nearby towns overnight. It was business, of course, and necessary, but it left r: alone a great deal. John, being thirty-five, cared little for socializing, but realized that since I was six years his junior, liked to dress, danced more, and play. Finally he suggested that I go around with his brother, Philip, when he was too busy to escort me.

Holcomb met him up to the library. Seated in the huge Morris chairs, they began to talk Holcomb's large fingers were moving nervously—a habit.

Briefly, as the first part of the book, Raymond Simmons are two successful young colored business men of Chicago hostel, the Boulevard is frequently the scene of lavish social functions, attended by many famous families who name occupies the very foremost positions in the social registers. Raymond is a tougher brother, Raymond to Patricia Stuart, who resides with a wealthy aunt, is in residence with her three affaires, the last one of which is about to be held at the Simmons residence. In the meantime, Mony, the older brother, gets in touch with the police and the Simmons Hocoma Holcoma arrives at the house much earlier than the regular guests. Raymond misunderstands with another woman, presumably below his station, who has become enraged over the announcements. Holcomb is shown a packet of letters, which Monly has sent to him. The postmarks show that they have been mailed from within the city and over period of time from outside the city. The postmarks are printed on paper in pencil and signed—Lillian Pope. The latest one is from Monly, who has pleaded with you. I have cried. I have begged. Tonight I'm going to make a decision. I choose to ignore it! Monly tells Holcomb.

After scoring his for侵入 his personal affairs, he turns to Holcomb. "I say, 'I' re-this, the real—" He realizes he is fitted in. The lights went on, and a shot came from the direction of the opened window. A minute later he was found sprayed upon the floor. NOW FINISH THE STORY. THE CONCLUIDING PART The dead-man was Raymond Simmons. Holcomb had plunged headlines toward the window, gun ready. He sent two slugs into the inky darkness, then pierced the night with three sharp signals from his emergency whistle. Almost simultaneously he was out and scrambling down the fire escape. As he hit the ground answering whistles counded nearby. He shouted. Two officers rounded My heart sank when he proposed it, and yet: that feeling was counteracted by one of guilty pleasure. I didn't want this to happen, yet I wanted it to happen. Some hicpid imp of perversity whispered to me that I should test my will power, so I consented. Philip, when told about it, was delighted. And so the round of pleasure had begun. We had gone out two or three evenings a week for over a month to dances, parties, socials and the剧院. Sometimes I shuddered with a sudder, spasm of fear as we swept across the dance floor at the Dreamland Peace of the Tudor Theatre, my eyes the moving picture, but my mind a perfect whirl of suppression and desire. Phil Avows Love Slowly, inevitably, Philip, who was 30 and thus nobody's fool, had began to show evidence that he was aware of my comelliness. One evening as we were boating on the lake in Roosevelt Park he had spoken out with throbbing intensity, leaning for his oars and gazing earnestly at my wife. "Harrie," he had said, "I can't help it. I hate to say it. I know it is a damnably dirty thing, but I must tell. that you are the most beautiful creature I've ever seen. Honest! Those big eyes, that shiny black hair and your smooth brown skin—Oh, Harriet. I must tell you that I love you, have been loving you ever since that day. I want you to the Blue Danube, know it's wrong, but—I just can't help it." Must Sacrifice Something It had been a week since that outburst. At the time I really felt like confessing to him my secret feelings, but my loyalty to John and my duty at his wife restrained me. I realized that I must sacrifice something. All of us must sacrifice something. None of us can have everything. Must take life as it is; its ups as well as its downs. None of us can have everything. I disturbed my reverie, rose from the bed-and stood gazing out of the wide open window, across the houses into the gathering twilight. I must do something, I thought to myself, as I pressed my nails into the palms of my hands in the intensity of reaction to the incident in the upper hall. I must end this, but how? "Hello, Harriet!" John greeted me from the door, entered and embraced me, how's the dear, little wife tonight? I laughed, kissed him and said the expected things, but my mind was elsewhere. "What's the matter, little one?" he asked with the concern, doubtless not his pro-capitation. "Why don't you and Phil go out somewhere tonight? No use sitting up here in the house." II beamed paternally upon me as he spoke. "I've got to work late tonight." Sports-Society *the corner of the house, saw the circle of light from his flash and came hurdling forward. "Spread!"

In a few minutes a Department car was dumping water on the sidewalk and they were scattering. But the assailant had apparently melted into thin air! An hour later Detectives Holcomb and Wade, coming from opposite directions, met at the grilled gate in front of the Simmons home. Each scowl, brown scowl that look black. "Wade!" Fulcomb whispered fiercely, "whoever shot young Simmons is still in the block! Do you hear? Escape in the open would have been physically impossible! Neighbors swear that no cars of any kind entered the block—Weve got to watch! Quick! pass that around, then come in!" Wade rushed away. Holcomb edged his way through the crowd of astonished young guests and disappeared. Some tried to follow but a bury cop pushed them back. A fashionably dressed young woman learned the victim's name and fainted into the hallway. The servants had lighted the gas jets. The great rooms now bathed in a sickly, flickering yellow light that kept turning green. Monty Simrons, crazy-eyed, gasping, met Holcomb halfway the stairs and tried to brush past. He had a revolver. Holcomb twisted it out of his nand and bore him down, pleading. "Leave the house," he said. "She can't get away." She'll pay—— "Monty shock violently and pounded his fists upon the steps.

Holcomb schook his fists and dashed toward the library. The doctor had already arrived. As the detective entered he got to his car and ran out. The doctor announced doggedly: "shot straight through the heart . . . Ghastly!" He went to see about the woman. Holcomb just stood there. sort of reply, because the very mention of Phil from John's lips almost paralyzed me.

As he did so I could feel again with thrilling distinction the fervent, illicit kiss that he had bestowed upon me in the upper hall an hour before. I felt that I couldn't go on with the situation any longer. Caught between the two horns of a dilemma, my position was growing hourly more intolerable and untenable. I felt that I should sickness, faint, do anything, rather than trust my spirit alone with the company. And then there came the teeping, devilish inner voice again, urging me to taste of the joy of his company just one more evening. And so, at nine-thirty we went out together. I was shaking with suppressed excitement. I knew that I had done wrong by going out again with him. Why hadn't I refused outright? Why hadn't I gone to John and told him everything? Why had I been foolish enough to place myself in a position where I might yield to temptation? But then, would be the last time. No, never! And yet as this resolution flashed through my mind, I knew full well that even if I did keep it, I would regrave "Harriet," said Phil, hoarsely, his strong motion making his voice vibrate a trifle, as we lazed around the hall in a slow waltz undimmed, vari-colored lights, "we can't on this way. I love you, Harriet. You A half hour later, Wade came. The body had been removed. Holcomb met him downstairs and brought him up to the library.

A gun hit the window, the direction of the window. Holcomb had been feed and poured hot lead through it. Now, both men sprang in that direction. And then— Holomb grasped Wade by the shoulder and yanked him from the window. "For God sake—wait!—look!" Something held their eyes glued on the huge cabinet radio—startled! They could see the little thread of smoke emerging from the center of the built-in speaker. A moment later they had torn into it and discovered—great Scott!—a gun. It was incredible. They stood there in amazement. Here was a tiny revolver, its muzzle so arranged as to fit snugly into a little hole at the end of the cone—a sham speaker. It was set in a direct line with the chair, young Simmons had sat in across the room. A small wire attached to the trigger an 'back through a little hole in the back of the cabinet, into a tiny pulley, down the side of the wall, another then straight across the room underneath the rug. to the chair Holomb had just sat in—the one Monty Simmons was sitting in when his brother goaded! "Damn!! Holcomb whispered. "He pulled that wire and shot Raymond himself. Quick—have a look at the electric meter in the basement!" Wade rushed out. At the same moment the butter hove into view. Holcomb called him in and closed the door. "Wolls was his crisp query, "did your employees, then quarrel?" "Well—of all, yes, sir." "About letters?" "I—I understood, in fact, we all did, sir, that Mr. Raymond had invested in some real estate. Mr. Monty objected." "Real!! Holcomb was thinking. "Real . . . estate. Real—that's what he was going to say when the bullet hit him! He thought we were talking about real estate!" The door opened. It was Monty Simmons. He glanced at the battered radio and turned grey. Holcomb spring forward toward him. Monty jumped into the hall in a crazy panic, slamming the door after him. The butter shrieked. Holcomb grasped the knob and cursed. It was locked! He struck for the window. As he did so, women out in the hall screamed: Down' the fire escape around the house and then through the front entrance. At the top of the stairs he encountered a group of excited women. "Monty'l" they cried. "Monty'l—he's gone mad! He'll kill Patricia, he'll kill her!" Holcomb's body went hurting against the closed door. It didn't budge. Wade rushed breathlessly and took a hand, talking in gasps, a time clock down there! The light shone. The lights went out automatically. The lights have been suppressed after the shot. Again and again they hurried themselves at the door. Inside, Patricia Stantan suddenly screamed. Two women on the stairs fainted. Monty Simmons's voice suddenly reached their ears, deep-throated, guttural. "I killed him!" it said. "I do it again! She was mine! Heart, soul, and body! . . . until he came back from college! I killed him! I wrote himself! I do it again! She was MINE!" Somebody brought up an ax. Now the door was giving way. . . a gun spat. . . . . And they found Monty Simmons on the floor, dead, with the woman he loved in a faint on the floor beside him. Hubert Holcombs' narration of the Simmons' murder case had ended. Bewildered we sat there starting with the darkest. Holcombs chuckled and said something about telling us another story—the Collins murder case—but we, Miles and I, weren't trying to hear. THE END must go away with me, you hear? We must not cheat our love." "Oh, don't!" I groaned. "Stop it! This must stop before we get into trouble. You are taking advantage of me: you know I won't tell John about you, so you try to take advantage of my chivalry." "It isn't so," he flashed back. "Will go and tell him myself, fight him on you, then take you away. You belong with me, Harriet. We are affinities. You won't confess it, but I can see in your eyes that you love me." I looked down guiltly. Then he had noticed! A Forbidden Cabaret John always liked to have me home by midnight and when it got to be that hour I suggested to Philip that we go. I was getting rather uneasy, anyhow, because he had been sitting, staring fixedly into space for about ten minutes. "No, we can't go back now," he said, placing his hand insinuatingly on my knee. I drew back hastily and felt a strange sinking of the heart. He continued: "Let's go over to the Club Amnesia for a little while." "Oh, I can't go there, Phil." I re-mentioned. "John says it has a bad reputation and, besides, it's past my time to be out." "I don't care anything about John," he hissed, leaning over me. "I want you to go, and you're going. You know you want to go, so why not go? You know I'd rather be with me with John. Why don't you be truthful to yourself, Harriet, and fair to me?" he pleaded. to "Because," I said quietly, "John doesn't want me to go."

DENVER HOLDS FIRST STATE MITT TOURNEY Welterweight Furnish Feature when Two Bouts are Needed for Decision DENVER, Col. (ANP)—After three days mauling, the first annual Negro State Amateur Boxing Tournament, held under the auspices of the Wallace Simpson Post of the American Legion and the Physical Department of the Glenarm Y.M.C.A., came to a successful close Saturday night with the crowning of the winners and runners-up at the Y.M.C.A. gym. Probably the feature performances of the whole show were provided by two up-and-coming welterweights—Leroy Carter and Cecil Jenkins. On Thursday, the opening night of the show, the gory three-round draw, and the next night they went at it again. During this battle there were six knock-downs, and in the second round only the two knockdowns were counted out, while in the next stanza, the gong was Carter's salvation. At the end of the third round the boys had called so evenly, a fourth round was called, and in this session, Carter eked out a close decision. Another more-than-interesting bout was staged when Millard Wilson out-sugged Paul Johnson to advance to the finals in the flywheel division. Although Wilson knocked Johnson down three times in the final, second, Johnson came back and was punching and chasing his opponent all over the ring during most of the third round. A great battle was staged between the 160 pounders, Wesbert Williams and William pulled out a hair-line victory to win the championship.

BIZZ MACKEY OUT Oscar and Flournoy Both in Excellent Form. PHILADELPHIA—Hilldale won and lost to the Baltimore Black Sox, defeating the Marylanders at Passon Field 3 to 6 and losing another well played contest on the home lot when Frank Warfield and his gang finished on the long end of a 5 to 2 score. Bizz Mackey, who has been plugging up the short stop post for the Daisies has been erased from the lineup with an attack of mumps. Bizz has been out for a week and it will be another week before he gets back into harness. The battle with the Black Sox at Passon Field marks the return of Hildale as a home that lot for weekday night engagements and John Henry Lloyd with his Lincoln Giants will face the opposition. The Daisies were further crippled when manager Phil Cookrell wrenched his knee in a twilight tie at Mayfair and has been forced to the sidelines. Oscar Balks Sox Oscar, the Cuban hurler, turned back the Baltimore team at Passon Field. After the Sox sprang a five-run rally in the third inning Hilldale came back and duplicated the feat in the following session when Buddin bage and Lackey uncovered twirling triples. The team, the sacks, incidentally was the hitting star of the contest slamming out two triples out of three times at bat. Bun Hayes opposed Oscar on the peak and yielded nine hits to Pete Pete Washington in center field and Dick Lundy's shortstopting featured the defensive work of the visitors. At Hildale Pavey the first standoff stowed the pivot from the first stanza on singles by Lee, Lundy, Eggleton and Tucker's double with the bases loaded. Pud Flournoy pitched very effectively, especially with men on the bases.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, July 19, 1930 HearMeTalkin'toYa JUST how much more successful box will be in New York, now that the pugilistic paters have decreed the blow is tabo, remains to be seen, but from where I sit, the thing appears to be a long way from being as fool-proof as some persons would be crushing provides that low blows, from now on, will briefly blow and not fouls, as heretofore, and that fighter slugging low shall automatically lose that round. Should an offender hit in out-of-bound territory in three rounds in one fight, the commission promises to suspend him. The ruling further states that the referee shall be the sole judge of low blows, the judges being unable to aid him in determin- whether or not the blow landed in forbidden territory. ing whether or not the unlucky one. This all sounds very nice, and for all that you know, may work out satisfactorily, yet in my mind it does not penalize sufficiently. I still hold to my suggestion that boxers guilty of deliberately hitting their unlucky person justified of their nurses. below the best beet. A boxer finds himself suspended in one state because of a hitter and turn right around and go into another state and get a fight, as some fighters you know have already done. N.B.A. The New York ruling is aimed at the fighters; namely, those who "fall to the floor and make faces" and those who, seeing themselves being beaten, choose the low blow as the easiest. way out. For some of the palokas who enter the ring it seems, however, that no regulation conceivable could make any improvement on them. Unless, you might mention birth control. I Am Convinced— I know that I am putting my head into the lion's mouth by making the following statement, but be that as it may, after seeing the Lincoln Giants in action against the Black Sox Sunday, I believe that the New Yorkers have the best club in Negro baseball, barring I know that I am putting my head into the following statement, but that be as that Lincoln Giants in action against the Black that the New Yorkers have the best club in none.

The Black Sox, with Jenkins, Suttles, Paige, and Dixon in the lineup, I believe, would certainly be on a par with the Harlem tribe, but with these men gone, while the Sox can give a stiff battle, the present edition of the Giants has a distinct edge. With Beckback in the lineup at first base and with Cannady, Yancey and Riggins protecting another part of the infield, and with Thomas, Jenkins and Smith patrolling the outer pastures, there is little that these are offensively and defensively. boys can't use one on the ground. The pleasing thing about the Giants is that the team is balanced, and that is a thing that many star aggregations cannot truthfully say. There is a certain esprit de corps that cannot be denied as to its effectiveness in promoting co-operative play. And a staff of fliers that includes Holland, Rector, Farrell, Ryan and Cox is a mighty sweet thing to have around in emergencies. And with Pop Lloyd on deck, there need little more be said. About Lloyd and Rojo— Contrary to the belief that exists in some quarters, Jawn Hennery Lloyd is not as old as the sixty years that some people would have him. Lloyd told this writer Sunday that he is 43 years young, and that he is today the oldest Negro player engaged in regular baseball, and that does not exclude Smoky Joe Williams of the Homestead Grays, who is frequently advertised as being various 54 to 60 years. Contray to the belief that exists in somber Lloyd is not as old as the sixty years he have him be. Lloyd told this writer Sunday young, and that he is today the oldest Negro regular baseball, and that does not exclude the Homestead Grays, who is frequently ad ages from 54 to 60 years. Lloyd started playing ball in 1906, twen came to the Lincoln Giants when Sol White at that time playing shortstop. He has play the infield, but has never tried his hand as appealed to me," he said.

All of these men are older than I am." youngsters. Lloyd's continuity of service is attributed to clean living and regular exercise and to see him trot around the bases is enough to make some of our short-winded youngsters bow their heads in drowsy. disgrace. Julio Rojo, the talkative but steady Cuban backstop of the Lincolns, is 38 years old and first played ball in the United States in 1915 with the Cuban Stars. He played with the Islanders until 1919, joining the Bachatz Giants in the season of 1920 and playing through the season of 1922. In 1923 he joined the Black Sox with his attraction here until 1926. and the Lincoln Giants grabbed him in 1927 and he has been with them since. Rojo has been playing baseball twenty years, and looks much like a youngster now. "I don't drink," he told me. "and I only smoke in moderation. On top of that, I love baseball and enjoy nothing as much as working behind the bat." Rojo "making" of many pitchers and he been judgment of opposing batsmen has made him a great asset to any team on which he has played, and if you don't know it, girls he's still a bachelor.

Rap Dixon, ace outfielder, who has the best throwing arm in Negro baseball, thrilled the fans in New York with home runs at the Yankee Stadium last week; and then skipped the club to join the Chicago American Giants. The Giants have been seeking Rap for some time and his decision to go West was made after considerable deliberation. "Batchell" Peale, the long, tail Alabama pitcher, acquired by the Browns at the beginning of the season, skipped out again last week for his Southern home, but latest reports say that he is seeking to return. But to the newly acquired players who will take the places of the stars. Gay, a youngster, who formerly pitched in Birmingham, has been added to the list of local twirlers and Williams and Tucker, first baseman and second baseman, respectively, of the Smith University nine of Charlotte, N.C., who reported last week, made good impressions in their showings Sunday. Cason, a catcher, also from the Tarmel State, came through as a pinch hitter with a single, and showed headiness behind the bat when he relieved Charlie. So the re-ramped pitcher was not such a bad way after all. That was a little shot if Pete Washington, who was "fired" last Sunday, does not return to the lineup, but I believe that "Wash" will be on hand after the tumult and the shooting die. These youngsters coming along now have the makings of future stars (if baseball doesn't kick the bucket soon) and with an opportunity to show their wares it is believed that they will make good. There are few opportunities for young baseball players to develop under the tutelage of more experienced players these days, for every owner is grabbing up stars. There is nothing to correspond to the white minor leagues for the Negro ball player and he must graduate immediately from the sand lots or college diamonds to the big time, a rather long step, you will admit.

Douglass Wins Again A hair's breadth separated Hanks and Lucas Howard. Hanks was jicked third. The 100-vard free style was another thriller. Douglass again proving his superiority, won by a lengthwise second and Howard a close third. The Twelfth Street "Y" relay team was too speedy for the Harlem four. The race was close with the Washington lads holding a slight advantage, but in the final lap Douglass advanced of the Harlem michormen. Junior Events Close The junior relay was close.

The Sox outbatted and outfitted their rivals. The feature of the game being two home runs hit by James Maddox. Wooed by My Brother-in-Law (Continued from Page Eleven) until finally I consented. Joyously he paid our groat, got our wraps, and soon we were speeding down to the Club Argonne. Fifteen minutes later we were seated around a little round table, a long, long-celled-filled room crowded with Negroes, the odor of strong drink and the din from a jazz band. Phil ordered cocktails and practically forced me to drink one. After that it was easy to drink a second. We danced two, or three threes. Tricked by Phil The unacustomed drink, the smoke-filled air and the inadequate ventilation must have affected me badly, because I grew dizzy and everything swan before my eyes. I fought to retain consciousness and as I fought, I could see as through a haze the leering smile of Philip DeVours. Suddenly I felt a strong feeling of anger welling up within me. This must be a trick of Phil's! I was sure of it when he suggested that I go up to one of the parlor and lie down until I felt better. How could I know whether it was safe or not? "No, no!" I protested. "Take me home, Phil." His only answer was a broad, insinuating, rather calculating smirk. The orchestra started again, the lights dimmed, couples sought the floor and rocked and shuffled to the syncopated tunes. Systemized jaws balanced over all, scampered inbout, over all, like an ancient high priest superintending an orgy, the orchestra leader snapped his baton and erinnied indulently. Raid and Run 1. A crash! Somebody breaking in! Waters scurry out the back way. Some one yells "Police!" My heart seems to stop beating for a minute as crash follows crash. The front door gives way. The olive-coated host pours in. Patrons and entertainers are running in all directions. Police are shouting orders. Clubs rise and fall. Curse follows curse. I slump down with fright behind our table! I looked around for Phil, but he was gone! Then I noticed an altercation near a side window far down near the rear of the place. Phil had deserted me. and, trying himself, had run into arms of a policeman. He vanked him by the collar. Phil lashed out with his fist and caught him on the jaw. The officer fell. Others closed around Phil, clubbed him and dragged him out the front door alone with other patrons. Weak from the whole experience, and yet aware of the terrible predicament in which I would be if the officers found me, I stealthily pulled the table cloth down until it hid me completely from anyone who might look into the booth. Then I waited. Back Home The place was soon empty, the patrons and employees taken to the s. tion house, and the front door locked. No one had seen me. The cabinet was in darkness, but remembering the lay of the place, I walked to the rear, unlatched the door and hurried into the night. Soon I gained the street, fortunately hailed a taxi cab right away, and in twenty minutes was home. At first I ha, a crazy notion to go down to the station and to help Phil, but then, I thought, why should I? He had completely deserted me and left me to my own devices. He hr been interested on in getting himself. His ooed chivalry he had demonstrated to be a take. Now that he was gone, his power over me seemed to wane. I shuddered as I thought that might have happened had there been no raid. I firmly believe that Phil intended to carry me away with him, and John never would have believed that I was not the guilty one. Now it was different and I breathed a heavy sigh of relief as I let my mind into the house and climbed slowly wearily to my room. I woke John and told him that he had mappened the room and dressed a neatly. I went to sleep. --- One year for resisting arrest, and striking an officer. Phil took the sentence like a man. I'll say that for him. When he looked over in my direction I did not drop my gaze as of old. I knew that I was free for a 'hile from the compulsion of his personality, and when he came out he could always reproach his cowardice in leaving me that evening. How Will It End? But now, sometimes as I sit alone evenings and John is off somewhere, I indulge in thoughts of Phil. I cannot dismiss him from my mind, much as w.s disillusioned by his action. I am surprised to find myself sometimes trying to find an excuse him; thinking of him heavily-lidded eyes and firm brown naws, and then for a moment I feel like loner. So, I don't know what to do. Each day I know that the time of Phil's release grows nearer. Soon he will be looking again into my eyes. What will happen then? Series Starts Wednesday a Cleveland and Will Win up in Kansas City.

A fighting Black Sox team, patched by recruits facing their first real baptism of fire, bowed in two close games to the Lincoln Giants of New York in a doubleheader at Maryland Park, Sunday, by the scores of 5-2 and 2-0. It was the first, and probably last appearance here this season for New Yorkers who "play" Lord and his gangs in intent upon bagging both the contests. The Black Sox, minus the services of Rap Dixon, who quit the club to join the Chicago American Giants, and minus Paige, Sattles, and Fals Jenkins, who played against them in a Lincoln uniform, brought forth four newcomers, Gay, pitcher, formerly Browning, Bill Williams, Williams, Brian and Tucker, second baseman, both of Smith Uni- and Cason, a catcher from Charlotte, N.C. Thrills are Many Both games had their offensive and defensive thrills and the largest crowd of the season was on hand to see the two leading teams of the East battle for supremacy. The two victories gave the Lincoln sevens who over Black Sox during the present season. Two games were lost to the Sox and one to "Red" Ryan, who formerly donned a sex uniform faced Yokely in the ooper and showed that he still has the Indian sign on the local clan head. The box backsack, caught the first game. Ryan however, did not get by, uncapped for two binges, topped him for fourteen binges, but bad judgment and slowness on the matts made these blows come in most instances.

Ryan, however, did not get by the scatcass for the defense, with the touch him for fourteen binges but bad judgment and slowness on the defense, these blows go foraught in most instances. Yokely, facing the sorrel, thatched moundsman, hold the peel for six minutes to allow Cason to pinch hit for him. Cason hit safely and started a rally that culminated in three runs for the locals. The Lincolners in the second two in the fourth and one in the eighth. With two men on base and two out in the last half of the ninth, the Black Sox hopes for tying the score glimmering as Washington on a double steal to find the fifth, making the third. Yancey made a grandstand catch of Clarke's foul pop-up in the sixth when he raced to the fence in front of the left field stands to snare the ball. Bill Holland, Lincoln ace, and Gray, recently acquired Sox hurler, staged a duel for seven innings of the second game, with neither side scoring. The game was a dazzing assortment of shoots and curves that sliced all corners of the plate.

Washington "Fired" for Ignoring Signal Because he failed to obey the signal to slide into second base during the first game between the Lincoln and Black Sox Sunday, "Pete" Washington star Sox outfielder, was suspended immediately after the game by Manager Frank Warfield. Washington failure to slide in to be assessed his being tagged out and in the opinion of the manager of the local club, was a factor in the defeat of the local team. Citing that there is a body outside base, and that he is still suffering the effects of a leg bruise, Washington defended his action. He was ordered to take off his hat, and the third game from the stands. While Washington was "fired" it is not expected that the order will be permanent, according to George Rosser, owner of the baseball team, in probability, be back in uniform Sunday against the Bugle Coat and Apron Company, white, at Bugle Field. struck out Clarke and Gay in order on six outfield in one inning and in all retired Sox batsmaller via the ozone route.

Writer Finds that Success of Negro Stars in Sports is Powerful Foe of Intolerance. Tolan, Dismond, Cator, Edwards and George are Cited. By E. B. HENDERSON Director, Physical Education, Jr. and Sr. High Schools, Washington, D.C. As a race we are likely to under-estimate the influence of athletic performances. Cultured Negroes concede that the talent of a Hayes on a Tanner stimulates a more tolerant attitude on the part of oppressors. Recently, the writer heard a leading Negro remark, upon reading a laudatory news item concerning Robson's recent London success, "Any Negro can act, sing or dance. What we need are a few men who can succeed in business." It is not my purpose to disdain a some pete in the commercial arena. I do think talented successes in art and athletics are making tremendous onslaught against the argy of racial intolerants. Negro Stars Prevalent When Tolan was acclaimed officially the world's fastest sprint human and the Haitian Negro, Cator, of the University of Paris, was recognized internationally the world's champion broad jumper, this writer was led to note the prevalence of Negr champions in track and field athletics, a fighting temperament and a strength of character traits that challenge the admiration of countless millions. The winner of a college letter displays his insignia marking achievement no less than does his brother, his Phi Beta Kappa key. Both delight the ego, both carry prestige and make for influence. One marks ability plus persevering study. The other is emboldened of hard work, self-stimulating training. Too often in education the ability to please the teacher brings an "A" record.

Even in vocational life, a ready supplancy before higher authority brings success to mediocrity. Leading politicians must bend a knee, a back or a principle to the currents of public opinion, not so in the competitions of brawn and brain, and especially in track and field. Here the requirements for success are: skill, stamina, conditioning, condition. None of the subtle moral-weekening qualities are found here, oftimes so necessary in the stufe of making a living, in the sports of games were the "Sports of the gods." Of the ten or twelve standard track and field events, colored athletes have performed as follows: Eddie Tolan is accredited with the fastest 100 wards record, 9 and 5-10 seconds. His most recent feat of breaking the 100 meter record adds further success. Before him Howard Drew once held a world's record. Nate George In the 220-ward run.

Hope for an eight-club league composed of an equal number of base ball teams from the East and West next year, was expressed by Judge William C. Hueston, president of the National League, who was a visitor here recently. The Indiana attorney, who just recently moved to Washington to accept a position as assistant solicitor in the Post Office department, was an interested spectator at the Lincoln Giants-Black Sox doubleheader at Maryland Park Sunday. Four leading western clubs and the other clubs would compose the proposed league, playing day and night baseball also. While there is nothing definite in the suggestion it has been intimated that the ground work for just such an organization is to be laid this fall with the view toward opening the league. George Rossiter, white, owner of the Black Sox, expressed his approval of the proposal, declaring that he believed it feasible and that it would exist in two sections of the country. While no details for such a plan are available, the Hueston plan demonstrates that there does exist a feeling that something must be done for forming arrangements can be suitably Negro baseball.

GOOD "MIXER" A&P FITTING JEWELS DORNE LONDON FALES Food Talk Children and grownups, too often have a marked aversion to milk. In the child this is often difficult to pampering. But the adult who realizes the tremendous importance of milk the diet because of its calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins and still does not drink it conserves no sympathy from any of us. Nature has provided us with—a food as complete as possible quality of food nutrients. Experimental evidence shows that the child at least one pint of daily dairy and one pint one pint are most likely to have an adequate diet. Realizing the place of milk we must do best to give our families their re When bad food habits have been formed the individual must overcome these. If he finds plain milk unpleasant there is a way out of difficulty. Flavored milk is difficult in which the flaused are easily disused or camouflaged are easily and easily prepared. The addition of a few ingredients does not impair the nutritics of milk and the person who hitherto has been unpleasant becomes a drink. Those of us who do like milk will also appreciate it in a new way, especially on special summer days. Freshening milk drink is a worthwhile addition to the meal. Not only does it please, it also helps us on to that goal—the adequate diet. New Clothesline A new clothing should be boiled for about thirty minutes before using it. This prevents stretching.

Relatively moist atmosphere and temperatures near freezing are desirable to make the crops last through the months, and the home grown vegetable scarcity. For the home that has a furnace heated cellar, the following treatment in the vegetable cellar: place it in amounts of one to one and one-half bushels in boxes or directly on the cement floor. Enough water is sprinkled in gunnysacks placed over the vegetable cellar, and the roots are in containers even the floor can be sprinkled to keep the temperature lower. Packing in sand is a general practice in which the sand should be wet from time to time, but not kr' wet. This condition can be checked by examining the vegetables from time to time. Vegetables can be built before harvest time in the fall. These must be deep enough so that the vegetables can be covered sufficiently with soil or other protection to prevent freezing. In large storage houses such as are used by truck farmers producing cabbage and turnips, the cabbages are kept as near the freezing point as possible during the winter, with special care, however, not to harm the plants. The temperature is regulated so that heat generated by the vegetables is liberated and fresh air circulated, with small stoves usually supplying enough heat in seeding. The air from 30 to 34 degrees above zero.

Have you watched the delivery of children when you suggest a picnic in the park. What a lark for them. eating out-of-doors. Even spreading supper on the grass in your own back yard is a picnic for children. Perhaps you would get more fun out of it if you prepared only the most simple things for this summer. Heavy and cool clothes are good on a lawn supper that follows a scorching day. Not a great variety of foods but enough of a few simple dishes. The better the weather, the longer you have decided to eat outdoors you can take deep breaths of delicious air as you watch the sky slowly turn rose toward the West. You relaxation in the open that means so much to your health during the summer. To linger in the cool summer sun will refresh you so much that you can meet new friends and create energy. Besides treating yourself to these moments of relaxation you are giving the children a lot of fun. They require so much entertainment, and you need to prepare things that delight them most. Fried Chicken Have you reached that stage where fried chicken no longer means anything to you? Many cooks are destructive and reckless. Fried chicken that fails to delight the palate either has been robbed of its own delicate and artisanal taste, or has been plucked with some alien flavor that has taken away its characteristic delicousness. There are many ways of frying chicken, but variations in quality resulting from these different methods. You will agree with me that one rarely gets perfect fried chicken. The better product is usually served in the home. Select Carefully It is a simple thing to prepare delicious fried chicken. In the first place we must select the chicken with care. (Unless it is your favorite, you cannot expect excellence in the finished product.) If we want the best flavor and the highest quality we must choose a live chicken and one that is larger than 2"; pounds. A young chicken is never fat, but it shouldn't be so thin as to appear to be all bones. Have the butcher kill, dress, and bake it, but wash, sing and cut it up yourself. (Strawberry hullers are excellent to remove pin feathers). If you do not know how to dismember a chicken, learn how. Cut the skin of the thighs and thigh from the breast. The wings should be separate and the neck as well. Above all, do not tear away the skin. It is the skin we need some cooks to cut off the skin of the thighs and drum sticks especially, removing appetizing fat and flavor. This allows the escape of juices. Do all the washing of the chicken before you start cutting it up. And you can do this Let Cool at Least an Hour Put the cut up chicken in the refrigerator or some cool place to cool-out—an hour or so at least before the chicken is allowed for the meal; the chicken will need to begin the frying about 30 or 40 minutes before you are ready to serve. The time for frying depends upon the size and thickness of the pieces. For a large chicken, nothing better than a heavy iron skillet. Any good fat will produce satisfactory results. I prefer lard, however, and when I feel that I can snare the butter mixture of 2-3 lard in a butter, I cook the chicken in cook-rolled chicken in flour—just plain flour with a little pepper added but not salt—and to my mind I knew how to fry chicken. Many modern cooks use cracker and bread crumbs to cracker, but I prefer to use the crackers, bread crumbs and batter elsewhere in my cooking. Fat Should be Hot The fat should be sizzling hot when the chicken is put in. This sears the surface, making it deliciously crispi and keeping in the juices. As soon as each piece is well browned on both sides, the flame should be lowered. After cooking for about 20 minutes add salt, and then add to the juice. At this time, as salt added at the beginning would draw out the juices, leaving the meat dry. When the chicken is done, remove it to a hot plate or pan and make gravy. Good fried chicken calls for gravy and milk gravy at that. Once tried, we believe many of you will be satisfied with the interiority of this method and will be contented to forever eating chicken in this way.

The founding of such pioneer schools as Pisk, Hale and Hale will its by-product, will be shown to demonstrate educational advancement. The spirituals which play a very important part in the development of the Negro will be brilliantly used to lend realistic color. The concluding scene will: center about the Virginia State College which will the Negro standing at the gate of opportunity which will be pictured as standing ajar, not fully open.

Eugene Bullard, who Teaches Southerners Tolerance with Fists, Conquers Parisian Robber for Tourist. (Paris Bureau of the Afro-American PARIS. — Eugene Bullard, one of the best known figures in the night life of Paris, came into the limelight last week as the result of a rather amusing incident. James Hamilton, a white American tourist, wishing to see Montmartre, and at the same time to guard his bank rolls on the numerous lurking dangers of that gay man, decided like Diogenes to go in search of an honest man—in this case, an honest taxi driver. H.U. Accountant Dies Suddenly Elbert J. Jone. Successus to Heart Failure on Way from University (Washington Bureau of the AFRO) WASHINGTON—Elbert J. Jones, 42, of 1859 Third Street, nw. chief accountant of Howard University, and at the same time to guard his bank rolls on the numerous lurking dangers of that gay man, decided like Diogenes to go in search of an honest man—in this case, an honest taxi driver. Picks Honest Man Standing at the curb. Hamilton called taxi after taxi, but not liking the looks of the chauffeurs, refused to step in. He wanted a chauffeur on whose face was reflected pure honesty, and at last he found such a one—Lucien Lemercier, 30 years old. To this man with the frank, open candid face, Hamilton now handed over his bank roll of 15,000 francs ($600), with the instruction that he was to take him to all the high spots, and to hand him only a thousand franc note at a time. Money Still Left Visiting night club after night club, Hamilton had a gay wet time, drinking like all real travelers from the great American Desert. It was now six in the morning, and he ordered his guide to take him back to his hotel. His brain, moreover, had remained clear enough to know that he had taken three 1000-franc notes from Lemcier. Made Get Away But once more on the sidewalk, Lemercier jumped into his cab, and leaving the astonished Hamilton drove off at full speed. Another car was standing near, and jumping into this. Hamilton gave chase so closely that Lemercier, oblivious to his pursuit, only to run full tilt into the arms of Bullard, hearing the hue-and-ery had been waiting for him. Captured by Fighter A sharp struggle followed. But Bullard, who is not only an instructor of boxing but served nearly ten years in the Friars' Army, was also a medalist for valor, quickly knocked out the chauffer, and with his honest face, considerably marred, took him to the police station. There, he was found on the 1000-franc notes found on him. From Georgia Bullard is a native of Columbus, Ga. and is known in Paris as a tamer of wild Americans, who think they ought to introduce Southern methods into Europe. He is a music teacher at Zellis, and is now manager of the Music Box on rue 17 H.U. Accountant Dies Suddenly Elbert J. Jone. Succumbs to Heart Failure on Way from University (Washington Bureau of the AFRO) WASHINGTON—Elbert J. Jones, 42 of 1899 College of Howard University, died suddenly Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock on Sixth Street, shortly after leaving the university. The coroner was notified and a wife, now in Kansas City, Mo. Mr. Jones had been making preparations for the past several days for a union with his wife, who was to make the trip he had been on. Mr. Jones was appointed as chief accountant of Howard University in October. Before coming here, the deceased had served as bookkeeper and chief accountant at Tuskegee and he entered in 1897 a student. Paid Tribute Promotions for him at Tuskegee came as a result of his ability, which attracted the interest of the state Booker, the Washington University, in 1802. He was audited as cashier and auditor of the Mosaic Templars of America, and as director of the Mosaic Endowment Fund at Little Rock, Arkansas. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Howard University, on Tuesday, paid the highest possible tribute to Mr. Jones for his unusual ability and conscientious devotion to his duty. Jones had mastered the complex bookkeeping system of Howard University since his monthly incumbency, and was able to present a monthly financial statement to Dr. Scott. He also completed a master's degree for Dean Roberts, which required considerable research into the records of the institution. Mr. Jones was a son-in-law of J. R. Lee president of the Florida A&M College of Tallahassee. He is survived by his wife and other relatives. He had no children. C. C. Jackson, Jr., Weds Miss Lucille De Bose Glencrease C.

Pittsburgh Trade Schools Take Down Color Bar Vocational Department Had Refused to Youths to Certain Courses. PITTSBURG, Pa.—In instituting a program of wider and more diversified training for the Negro youth of Pittsburgh, the industrial department of the local Urban League, in a conference between league and school officials has wring a concession from the vocational school authorities which entirely reverses a policy of limitation of several years standing. This policy of limitation has been an unwritten law that Negroes should be discouraged from enrolling in courses which presumably offered no outlet for employment, such as electrical work, plumbing and printing. I Meet Mr. P the Candidate If you should in the desertes 514 N. Eutaw St stairs and into room in the rear of the Parker, candidat the Communist. The Honorable le, boyish-lookle small oval-shaped a much-less questionable color In Mr. Parker shaped head an No Separate School When acquainted with the attitude of the Negro citizens toward this practice, and their desire for training in the fields of their choice, Dr. P. M. Leavitt, head of the vocational schools, readily agreed that this policy would be immediately tinned. The conference further resulted in that the Somers Trade School was to be converted into a jim crow institution. Dr. Leavitt admitted that he had felt that a Negro school in the Hill District would better serve the colored population, but that the objections raised by the committee had removed this thought from his mind. He accordingly promised that Negro pupils would be admitted in art and all vocational schools in the city and upon such courses as they may choose, upon exactly the same conditions as imposed upon white pupils. Big Problem The superintendent advised that the greatest problem confronting the schools was that of placing in jobs the Negro boys who completed the courses. A co-operative arrangement has been prefected whereby the league industrial department will aid the schools in this phase of activity. The Pittsburgh League has as executive secretary, R.

Vocational If you should by chance wander into the deserted office building at 514 N. Eutaw Street, up the rickety stairs and into an almost barren room in the rear, an easy way to get to the Honorable Samuel Parker, candidate for governor on the Communist ticket. The Honorable Mr. Parker is a little, boyish-looking man, with a very small oval-shaped head upon which some questionable color and material. In Mr. Parker's very small oval-shaped head are some vague, vague ideas about "workers," "bosses," "capitalist" and other terms which he uses at random with certainty, but with considerable emphasis. Mr. Parker is quite serious about becoming governor of Maryland. The hustling, bustling young people about him, chattering in many languages, him greatly as he sills and looks on. He Knows the Answers Almost any political question you ask Mr. Parker, will receive an answer and asks Comrade Bender, who, by the way, seems to be just about the whole cheese as far as Communism in Baltimore is concerned. Comrade Bender will all Communists and true when referring to each other. When you ask the Honorable Mr. Parker, you are concerned any of the issues concerning his campaign, he tells you that he never makes a statement for publication in the "capitalist press," because your pockets and prove to him that you are just as broke as he is, which is very broke indeed, and that your rag does not matter. He tells you that he is a minority group just as he does. His looks stumped for a second and then tells you to wait a moment while he asks Comrade Bender. You wait and he comes back with the answer. No one more than I would rather see a sepal-hued gentleman wearing the gubernatorial high silk hat or resting his heels on the executive desk, but on the Parks he not im- It is just as bad to have the chief executive of a commonwealth prejudiced against the rich and near-rich, and against the poor even though the latter are in the majority. Mr. Parker looks upon everyone with a clean shirt and two pairs of workers. By making the dire mistake of trying to interview him with a clean shave (which was an accident), assuring his disloquence and was accused flatly of being a capitalist. Suppose by some trick of fate I should find myself reciling behind the bars of our noble penal mastiff, in the case if twelve readers of this column served on the furry, after 10, or say 20 years, I should feel the call Parker for a paradox? With everything all cet for my liberation except his signature, he might suddenly recall that night he saw me with my shoes shining in the light of the common people, and I would be condemned to pine away the rest of my days far removed from the society of my fellow Reviewing the prospects of the Communists, I see little hope of their going to Annapolis in any official capacities. Their chances are slim. The northwest section are reduced by the very essence of their appeal. They talk entirely too much about giving everybody jobs, and nothing will frighten a majority of Drudgill still and Funkyman, like the unionists like the motion of work. Of course, their demand of "work or wages" has an appeal, if taken literally, it means that if a man can find employment, the government out of the treasury. Idleness, under such circumstances would be profitable as well as pleasant, and job seekers would wear blind goggles, and if the government refuses to pay a living wage, the looters could call a strike by going to work. Far be it from me to throw cold water on any political ambition. Homeless people I doubt that what I say will affect his candidacy any more than his own attitude toward the whole affair. When asked what he expected to deliver the law which requires a candidate to be at least 30 years of age while he is to date only 26, Mr. Parker stated with some degree of finality that he doubted that there was a law that there would probably disregard it altogether, and run away. Disregarding laws is all right for us ordinarie folks who drink, gambia and otherwise thumb our noses at the statute books, but we are not in office in open defiance of a law instead of merely fooling the public into believing that he favors its repeal like Governor Ritchie does about the Prohibition Act, he not only sets a bad example, reveals that he is not a politician.

None of the extraordinary characters he created ever equalled the man himself." The Count de-Chaffault, who knew Dumas, told how, as a boy, Dumas used to visit his father, the Count, how both would go hunting, and how afterward, in the great dining hall, Dumas would keep the guests in an uproar of laughter. Several poems were read in tribute to the writer, and other Dumas anecdotes were told. Valet Imitated Him Dumas had as his valet a plant Negro, who was nicknamed Alexander himself up in his masters' finery, and with a massive sold-head cane, would strut along the boulevards and call the crowd "Alexander the Great" into his bedroom, presented to him another servant. "This," said Dumas, is our new king, but one one of your promenades. Do not take him with you on your promenades. Novelist Was Dark Dumas, though a quadron, was very dark in complexion, and was not at all ill-matched of the white friends, especially the English ones, were anxious to prove that he was "not a Negro. He says the Revolution of 1830, he was one of the first to enlist, and in his "Memoirs" he tells the following story: He says that when he entered the commandant at Soissons, and with cocked pistol at the latter's head ordered him to hand over the gunpowder, the commandant refused to use it, and wished to rush into the room, and seeing Dumas, advised her husband to yield at once, saying that the place was surrounded by Negroes.

Later, however, he learned that she was one of the survivors of a massacre of people by Ne- Was Friend of Aldridge Dumas gave a warm welcome to colored Americans, among them being Ira Aldridge, the actor, with whom he was very friendly. It is not generally known that Napoleon once served under the father of Dumas. In 1793, General Dumas was chief commander of the Republic armies of France, having from a separate position in 1292 generals. General Dumas, who was really a Count by birth, had thrown away the title, and joined the army as a private, using the name of his black mother. The hot-headed young man had quarrelled with his father, the marquis. In 1793, therefore, when the Revolution had gotten out of hand, General Dumas was the first one of whom the Directors could send or pay the villains Villers-Gotteret, or the days horseback was the speediest means of communication. Nanoleon Got Post Dumas, getting the message, dashed into Paris, at full speed, but when he arrived, he learned that because of the attack, Napoleon Bonaparte, had been put in command, and had quelled the revolt. Napoleon had done this so efficiently that henceforth his star was in the ascendance. Napoleon, who was a bluff soldier, with none of the politician in him, retired to Villers-Cotteret. Later, Napolon sent for him, and later Dumas came to his aid. He was also the commander of his cavalry during the Egyptian campaign. BAPTIST SCANDAL Continued From Page One dered auditor. Battle Shifts In the meantime the battle front of the fight out of which many believe the killing of the Iraqi Army there next month, the Golden Jubilee of the National Baptist Convention will take place. 'Sensational revelations on the one hand, and a complete compromise of the desecrated fight on the other, men high in the counsels of the convention told the AFRO-AMERICAN CAN this week that he has taken a hush-up camp in progress. Highly interested principals on both sides of the controversy, it is said, are more anxious to keep the affair than to have the Baptist cats set out of the bag. President Williams Silent It is significant, it is said, that President L. K. Williams has made no statement calculated to shed light on the affair. The officer was on his way to report to him when he met his death. The National Baptist president has been fighting for some time to inaugurate an accounting system which would centralize financial boards with large amounts of money. The Sunday School Publishing Board was one of these. Same Old Fight Leaders in the Baptist denomination familiar with the history of the Baptist Convention during the last thirty years, recall the similarity of the present controversy with the one which split the denomination into two factions.

Added by it, who were who had been active in effecting local arrangements on a promise given he said by the War Department that there would be a war against the segregation and said, pointing to the stars and stripes. "That flag knows no color line. When our boys were about to go to war, that they were fighting for true democracy. When they returned, they had it, for a few days. Soon, they are again degraded and humiliated. Press Opposed Arrival of the mothers in New York City caused resentment against segregation and the lack of a parental partment to flame up to a high degree. All of the New York City cities ensured the story of the columbians was front page, and much resentment was -xpressed by both white and colored citizens in the city. Many of the colored mothers were treated. Women Protest Walter White, acting secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., denied Secretary of War Hurley's statement, saying that teamship will be throughout the year and that if the government made a request, the steamship companies would not dare refuse it. Among those organizations co-operating with the U.S. military in the discrimination was the National Association of Colored Women who sent the following telegram from their annual convention in Hot Springs, Arkansas: "We the National Association of Colored Women assembled at Hot Springs, Arkansas, representing five hundred thousand colored women citizens of America, do hereby protest against the wholesale Goldman Sachs colored Gold Star Mothers and Widows, particularly in the housing of them in inferior hotels and rooming places in the United States in inferior ships. Remember that our colored boys fought in the same trenches at the same time firing the same guns and made the same supreme sacrifices for the democracy of Cheatham Sails Secretary Hurley at Washington denied any intention of discrimination. He stated that six lines. The Holland American, German Hoyer Landward, Anchor Michael MacDonald, the French Line had to accept the passengers. The French Line said the notice was too short for them to be able to accommodate so large a group of passengers. Fr. this reason, he said, the French Line the passenger freighter of the U. S. Line. General Frank B. Cheatham, a southerner who originally instituted the idea of the tours for Gold Ship Mothers, had active roles in the arrangement, he accepted the responsibility for the segregations. He contended that the identical arrangements would be made for Nerto mothers as had been made for Nerto sons. "And had been raised with these people and knew them, he was certain they would be happy." To prove what he said was his lack of prejudice. General Chestnut sailed on the liner with the col- AFRO Probes The AFRO-AMERICAN received letters from six steamship lines in answer to the question of the war's request to carry the Nero Gold Star Mothers as reported by the War Department. All of the lines denied that they refused to carry the mothers to the war, but could comply with the request of the War Department from physical reasons. The Holland American Line in answer to the third query, said: "So time ago we received an inquiry from the United States War Department whether we could provide accommodations to take care of the round trip portation of the Gold Star Mothers on a so-called 'Cabin' ship of our line. "As we do not operate 'Cabin' ships, we had to inform the War Department to order the circumstances we regret not to be able to furnish the accommodations desired." Cabin boats are classed as intermediate between first and third class The North German Lloyd and the Anchor Lines as well as the Cunard Steamship and the Cunard trade had already taken up their accommodations for the greater part of the summer and they could not get enough cargo to the East Star and White Star lines denied flatly that they refused to carry the mothers, but explained that the congressional opposition to this movement at government expense specified that American flag steamers be used and that these two lines fly the British link The official list of those in "Group MA" [1] Mrs. Lucy L.

CASE IN COURT Local Clergy Backs Action of Dr. James Kirkland. The trials of the Rev. James E Kirkland, pastor of the Union Baptist Church of Philadelphia, became the object of discussion at the Baptist Ministers' Conference at the Enon Baptist Church, Monday. The Rev. J. W. Wilkinson took exception to the account of the affairs as resisted by the conference by the Rev E. W. White, who conducts the week- report on current events. The Rev. Winston objected to accounts of internal strife within the churches being read into the news, who attend the conference would get the wrong impression concerning the relationship between the pastor and the clergy, and indeed he reported, declaring that he had been designated to bring to the conference the news and he felt that the affairs of other Baptists were of interest to local Caused Church Fight The substance of the discussed report told how the deacon board of the Union Baptist Church from admitting members for baptism and membership without first letting them submit to examination by the deacon board, 22 members appeared for admission and the pastor called for objections a chorus of "nos" greeted him, ending in a fight. The pastor had five detectives stationed in the audience to spot out the disturbers but no one joined. The pastor was taken to a court, where he made a test, when the members again raised their voices and the meeting was broken up. Both sides were carried to court to thrash out their differ- Favor Practice The account caused considerable discussion among the local ministers, many of whom were Kirkland was common and legitimate. It is not necessary for the deacon board to examine new members, but was already done because of other grievances that might have existed between the pastor and the church. One difficulty was the time the pastor called, without definite salary but one Sunday was supposed to be given at which time all proceeds were gone. The deacon was popular that the money raised on his day greatly exceeded what he would have gotten on a straight salary and the deacons became jealous and sought to embarrass TAKEN ILL ON STREET WASHINGTON. — Joshua Cook, 28 of 144th Fourth Street, nw., was picked up from the sidewalk on P Street, by members of the second precinct in an unconscious condition Saturday.

W. THORNTON, Manager 1238 You Street, Northwest Washington, D. C. Love of Eslanda and Paul Enthralls Woman Writer Robeson Admitted Unfaithfulness to Mate, She Reveals in Book; but Love was too Great to Part Them. The romance of Paul and Eslanda Robeson as accounted in her book on her husband's life, is made the subject of an article by Elsie Robinson, noted woman syndicate writer, who challenges her readers to meet the test that Eslanda met in her marriage. In her article, "Listen World," the writer asks this pertinent question: "If you discovered that your husband had been unfaithful - if you found that in some brief, shoddy episode, he had forgotten his vows, what would you do?" School Principal "Would you believe his protest that he loved you all the while? Would you hate and bear undying grudge? Or despise him and inflict continual humiliation as punishment? Forgive and forget. Well, maybe. Wives have promised that—and then made their "forgiveness" a constant and corroding torture. But still other wives have taken their hard blow with gallant generosity—and loved all the more because of the secret shared. As Eslanda Robeson did. Record of Triumph "All the world knows of Paul Robeson, the great Negro singer and actor, but few know of the gentle woman who is his wife and understanding comrade. "Recently she has written a story of Paul Robeson—Negro. It is an amazing record of the triumph of art and personality over bitter prejudice. But it is an even greater record of the height and the breadth and the depth of a woman's love." Admits Unfaithfulness "And Elsaanda Robeson's lovely answer to her husband, when he admits his unfaithfulness, should stand beside Ruth's immortal memory, would not believe him unfaithful, even if she had the proofs. He resented that. He wanted truth between them. Partly out of irritation at what he considered to be a brave and impulse-impulse, he practically tells her that he has been untrue to her. Then waits wondering if her love is great enough to stand for her challenge. It is Different Meanings "I know what you mean about your being unfaithful to me,' she said, but you don't know what I mean. So we're really talking about different things—as we often do... You mean that someone else has tremendously and that interested you tremendously and that you consumed that interest. Let's suppose you did. Wouldn't it shock you to learn that someone else musc? Of course, I'm not admitting anything, even now. "Why should I admit bad news, if it might not be true. But if I suspected you, I remembered a day our marriage I have been desperately ill three times, with long tedious convalescences following each illness, remembered that we separated for long intervals by your work."

Mr. Murphy is vicepresident of the AFRO-AMERICAN Company. what I am thoroughly convinced of is this: That, no matter what you may have done in these eight years, there has been no change whatever in your love for me. I know that you are faithful to me in the all-important spirit of things . . . no matter what other women may have been to you, and you to them, they have in no way walked in my garden. Protests Love "We have kept that sacred to us. I'm not a fool. I love you so much and understand you so well, and have been so close to you all these years, that I should have known, I should have felt if you were in any way shipping from it. We have been better, we have strangely enough, brought us closer together." "If you discovered that your husband had been unfaithful," Miss Robinson asks her readers, "could you be loving enough, lovable enough, and kind enough, which Elanda, a Negro wife, said to her, Negro husband?"
