Because of the presence of white Americans the manager of Borg Hotel, the most fashionable hotel, refused accommodations to a Negro. This brought a protest from the other guests of the hotel. They considered the action as unfair and inhuman. Majority Favors Negro Presence. Now of the forthcoming celebration of the 1000th anniversary of the Althing (National Congress) the question was put to a vote among the guests of the hotel as to whether they had been Negroes. Of those voting, 336 voted that they would not only tolerate Negroes but would associate with them. Nineteen voted to accept this insignificant minority. comprises mostly American tourists.

LOS ANGELES. — His suspicions aroused by the intimacy of his wife and another man at a parade in Springer, and hid him behind bed and surprised them when they also returned and retired in his home. Hitler attacked the couple, stabbing them both severely with a long knife and stood by as neighbors attracted by the commotion carried the couple to the hospital in their arms.
The stabbed man gave his name as Gus Embry, a chauffeur. He had been a friend of Springer and his wife, the writer. The husband is being held, but will plead not guilty under the unwritten law. Two months the cables have U.S. Commissioners in Haiti THE AFRO-AMERICAN has activities abroad.
JONES RECEIVER FOR MOSAIC TEMPLARS
48-Year-Old Order Now in Voluntary Bankruptcy.
Move was Made to Guard its Assets.
(Special to the APRO)
LITTLE ROCK, Ark—At the close of the National Grand Lodge meeting of the Mosaic Templars of America, officials of the order voluntarily asked for a receiver.
The court appointed Judge S. A. Jones, who has been serving as National Grand Master of the organization, as receiver.
In the appointment of the receiver, it is not contemplated that there will be any effort to wind up the affairs of the order but that it will make it easier to conduct future operations in a way that the officials of the order will not be misadvised by opening unfriendly interests, who had brought suit that would at least arrest, for a while, the operation of the order.
Judge Jones said that while there was a heavy outstanding indebtedness against the order there were sufficient assets to protect them, but that these assets cannot be quickly converted in to cash, without heavy loss. Receiver Jones stated that he would file petitions for the appointment of L. L. Powell as ancillary receiver in the State of Louisiana.

At Bush's death, the order paid his heirs $25,000 for the ritual, etc., which had been registered in his name.

CHARGES MANY
University in Turmoil Since 1927.
RALEIGH, N. C.—After three years of turmoil at Shaw University, President J. L. Peacock, white, has resigned.
The president's resignation was accepted by the trustees meeting in New York, July 17.
The only fly in the ointment is that President Peacock will hold his position until his successor will take effect December 31, 1930, but the trustees to continue his salary until June, 1931.
The action of the trustees in asking Peacock to remain at the helm indicates that his successor will not be expected to take charge until after commencement next year. An end date was set but not acceptable by Baptist Home Mission Society (white) which controls Shaw.
Strikes by the student body, protests by members of the faculty, and the resignation of some, and scathing denunciations of the administration by the faculty, were the last three years of President Peacock's administration.
Prof. Lewis K. McMillan publicly charged that Peacock housed and fed colored members of the university in crow quarters.
The report of an alumni investigation committee in May, 1920, declared that the university buildings were uninhabitable and the administration was woefully inefficient.
The students struck in January, 1930, due to unfairness of the admissibility of the trustees in May of this year, resolutions signed by 100 alumni requested President Peacock to quit at once.
Next President Ms. Mason appointed to select a successor to President Peacock: Dr. Frank A. Smith, secretary of education, American Baptist Home Mission Society; Albon Hale Brainard, president of the University; C. C. Spalding, trustee. It has not been decided whether the next president will be white or colored. The fitness of the man will be given more consideration than his

DU BOIS THINKS HOWARD SHOULD "FIRE" OLDEN
University Field Agent's Letter to Senator Allen Exposed. HAD SOUGHT JOB
to Take Stump.
Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, writing editorially in the current issue of the Crisis suggests that Howard University should fire the Rev. J. C. Olden, field agent for the university school of religion, at once.
At the same time the Crisis makes public a letter written by the Rev. Mr. Olden to Senator Allen (Rep. Kans.), praising the senator for voting against Judge Parker, resting Rev. Mr. Olden's interest, in the political campaign and securing the opportunity to take the political stump and set our people right" for the good of the Republican party.
The Olden letter as printed in the Crisis is as follows:
Dear Senator Allen:

I have set down a few ideas as a Negro interested in the welfare of the Negro and had the best interest of the Negro at heart when he voted for Judge Parker. A vote for Judge Parker was a role for the ultimate good of our people.

I should welcome the opportunity to set our people up for success. I think a great deal can be done and ought to be done for the good of the party in the Negro. I am the President in this matter whom I am afraid my people did not know or they would appreciate him.
Was Coolidge Moderator
The Rev. Mr. Olden was formerly pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church, 17th and T Streets, nw., Washington. He resigned last January and the trustees gave him two of his salary.
At one time he was moderator of the entire group of Congregational churches in the District of Columbia and was, therefore, the moderator of the church's church.

6 HUBERT MURDERERS NOW ON TRIAL
Whites who Killed Innocent
Morehouse. College Student
in Court Tuesday.
THEY MADE ERROR
(Special to the AFRO)
ATLANTA, Ga.-If Georgia courts run true to form, six whites who went on trial Tuesday for the cold-blooded murder of Dennis Hubert, innocent and inoffensive Morehouse College student, on June 15, will get off with a suspended sentence of 2 years in the penitentiary.
The six killers were looking for a boy who had "sassed" a white woman, and through mistake got hold of HERMIDY.
They made one big mistake, for the lad came of one of the best families in the South. When the killers were denied bail, their friends burned the home of Catherine's father, boy J. Hubert.
Instead of merely terrorizing the Huberts, it aroused the better thinking whites to raise a public to demand the demons of the killers, the slain lain, Benj Hubert is president of Georgia State College. Another uncle, James H. Hubert, is secretary general of Oklahoma Industrial College. A fourth uncle, John W. is principal of Cuyler Street High School at Atlanta, and a fifth Moses Hubert, an Atlanta wall pa-
In fact, grandfather Hubert had twelve children, seven boys and five girls, all of whom have made good in the world, and built up strong friends among both races. They are punished at all, it will be because they picked on the wrong family. On the other hand, if the killers go free, there is likelylhood the South will lose twelve co-workers, who have been brought to the bitter South is not safe for any. Negro
The trial will be bitter. Whites threw tear gas bombs into a public meeting called to raise funds to aid in prosecuting the murderers.

LETTER A COPY OF U.S. REPORT ON SLAVERY
Writer, American Official, Recently Ousted from Job.
Advise Afro Document is Forgery.
(Washington Bureau of the AFRO)
WASHINGTON, D. C. (By Wire)—Copy of a letter from Henry Carter, white, ex-U.S. charge d'affaires at Monrovia, Liberia, admitting slavery and forced labor in that country was termed a forgery. Tuesday.
The copy of the document which is now in the files of the AFRO-AMERICAN'S Baltimore office, was taken to Rollin Winslow in the Western European Affairs by E. W. Browne of the AFRO's Washington Bureau, who asked the secretary to comment upon it.
The document was addressed to the Secretary of State, U.S.A., and pursuits to be Carter's report advising his superior officer of the state of affairs in Liberia.
Mr. Baker said:
"Mr. Winslow left the office in which we were talking and had a long conference with someone in another office. When he came back he stated that the letter was one of several documents which were forgeries. He denied that the Department had received a cable from Dr. Christy (League of Nations member of the Libertarian Commission) intimation that he had been found. He did state, however, that a telegram had been received from Dr. Christy sometime ago advising him that there were fraudulent documents in circulation. "Mr. Winslow said he did not know whether or not the parties guilty of the fraud were Americans or agents of some foreign government. Just what steps will be taken, if any, by the State Department to ferret out the guilty parties and punish them, he could not say. He was summarily and mysteriously removed from office in Monrovia, Winslow said:
"Henry Carter's appointment was only temporary and there was nothing extraordinary about Carter's replacement by Claude H. Hall, Jr., white, with charge d'affaires and the secretary." Secretary Winslow said further that Dr. Charles S. Johnson (U.S. member of the Commission) is now in Monrovia. There is no time limit on the commission and the Department has not been advised just when party will sall for the United States.

Honor of Kansas Elks
Worth More than $20,
but How Much?
KANSAS CITY, Kansas--Elks throughout the state are chuckling over the request of Joe H. Mercer, white, political manager for Senator Henry J. Allen, a Judge for Pennsylvania, who gave 80 contribution when the order failed to endorse the candidate.
The money was paid for an advertisement on the program of the midwestern meeting held in Topeka. Mercer contented with the distinct understanding that the Elks were not to condemn Allen. The Elks did pass a resolution of condemnation. Smith told newspaper men the advertisement he secured by the Elks to help deter their expenses and that it was ridiculous of Mercer to imagine that he could buy the silence of the Elks of five states for twenty dollars. He would take the last paragraph as an opportunity to poke fun at the order by asking just how much money it would take.

VERBAL ORDER BANS
MESSENGERS SMOKING
State Department Employees Call New Rule Discriminatory.
BLAME "UNCLE TOMS"
Say Lackey Type Spy and Snitch on Comrades.
(Washington Bureau of the AFRO) WASHINGTON—A verba' order aimed at the approximately 50 messengers employed by the Department of State is the cause of some resentment by the department runners. Some of the employees have questioned the authority of the order because no departmental writ has been issued. They do not feel that any insubordination is involved, because instructions are generally received from the main offices in writing.
Bone of Contention
The bone of contention is a request made by several of the lesser officials that the messenger send messages during the hot weather. A visit to the State Department will reveal the white employee in shirt sleeves, with clearer and clearer ashes and smoke in the air at any time. The messengers have small 'tables in the halls just outside of the door of their room.' The risk was involved as stated by some sub-head, but that was just the usual attempt by prejudiced persons to embarrass and discomfit between times. Some less to question the order and slip in their smokes in between times. Some less fearful have continued their smoking

DISBARMENT CASE IS D. C. SENSATION
Peter P. Richardson, Promising Young Attorney, Accused by Trial Judges.
CHURCHMAN WITNESS
Dr. John R. Hawkins Called to Testify in Case.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Although arguments have not been made in the unusual disarmment proceedings in the Police Court of the District of Columbia against Peter P. Richardson, a young promising attorney, keen observers are of the opinion that the case provides several sensations. The full bench, Judges John P. McMahon, Gus A. Schulz, Isaac R. Hitt and Ralph Given, heard the testimony in the case last Wednesday. The case was taken into court with the understated 'ing that counsel would be permitted to make arguments Wednesday afternoon of this week.
Unusual Procedure
An unusual procedure was followed in this case. The charges were made by the judges, who heard the evidence and are to return a verdict. The rules of the Police Department provide that attorneys are to be instituted by the appointment of a grievance committee to hear complaints and recommend to the court whether or not cognizable the charges. No such procedure was followed in this case.
Mr. Richardson is charged with misrepresentation. It is alleged that he misused Rev. D. D. Cox's Methodist Episcopal Church, of Winston-Salem, N.C., into believing that the sum of $150 was needed to pay the fine of his son, Justice Roberts, a law
The defense claimed that Richardson's request for transmission of the money was simply an effort to collect money from the school. Young Roberts was charged with grand larceny, but was permitted to plead guilty to petty larceny and was sentenced to serve 180 days in prison. Ococquan Judge Given agreed to parole young Roberts. When Richardson learned that the boy would be released upon parole, he communicated with his mother in-Salem by long distance telephone.
The money was sent to John R. Hawkins, president of the Prudential Bank and the Methodist Episcopal Church. He paid it to Richardson. Mr. Hawkins was subpoenaed as a witness against Richardson. He was questioned when he paid it to Richardson that it was a fee, although Judge Given tried to get him to hear he understood the money. He developed that Judge Given had sent for Mr. Hawkins and made him produce a copy of a letter he had written to Rev. Roberts giving the money. Of the $150 which he had sent him. It appeared that it was at this conference that Judge Given had tried to get Mr. Hawkins to say that it was his understanding that the money was intended for a fine. May Appeal
Howard & Hayes, attorneys, are defending Richardson. He disbar their client from practicing in the Police Court, it is likely that an appeal will be taken to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia based on the trial judges, Given and McMahon.

CLERGY AIDS IN FIGHT FOR CIVIC JOBS
Urge Men to Apply for Police and Firemen Positions in Capital.
TO CALL BLUFF
Authorities Blame Failure to Take Exams.
(Washington Bureau of the AFRO) WASHINGTON--Ministers of the city are urging the young men of their congregations to take the civil service examinations for positions in the fire department and the police department.
The action of the preachers is the result of an appeal made by A. S. Pinkett, secretary of the District branch of the N.A.A.C.P. Recently a delegation of citizens was told by the Civil Service Commission that colored youth did not apply for examinations, hence the fewness of them in the fire and police departments in the meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and vicinity, the Rev. J. L. Holloman, president, Mr. Pinkett outlined a co-operative plan.
Wants Interest Revived
That there are numbers of young men in the congregations who are of the proper type, and that they who take no special interest in examinations, was emphasized by Mr. Pinkett. The ministers were urged to revive the interest of available persons. The ministers will enable applications by colored men will enable the civil leaders to answer the statement of the departments that none apply. The ministers will be aware that if only few men have applied, it is because of the discriminatory abuses which are said to be practiced. Leaders say this has discouraged the minister. With a large number of applicants, it is hoped to ascertain the true attitude of the officials and particularly that of the Civil Service Commission.

Traveling, swimming, boating, riding—all are joys of the vacation time of year. Maybe the fish bite, maybe they don't. The thrill is there, nevertheless.
So, too, is the danger present. Every year, thousands leave home for vacation, never to return to those they love. Not an argument to give up the vacation, of course, but a strong one for providing safe and sure protection before leaving, for those left behind, through life insurance.

VIRGINIA ELKS SEND LAWYER TO SECRET CONFAB
Joseph Pollard, Perry Howard Wave Olive Branches.
PEACE IN SIGHT
May Withdraw Suit Against New Body. WASHINGTON, D. C. Negotiations for the settlement out of court of differences between Virginia Elks and the national organization are being carried on, it was learned last week when it was disclosed that Perry W. Howard, grand legal adviser, and Joseph R. Pollard, an attorney for the Elks of Virginia, held a secret conference at the Whitelaw Hotel.
Under the name of the Grand Lodge of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, incorporated, a charter was granted by the State of Virginia to a number of Elks in that state. The Grand Lodge of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, a corporation, the recognized national body, sought an injunction in the United States court for the eastern district of Virginia to restrain Virginia Elks from using a name so similar to that of the parent body. Judge D. Lawrence Groner has had the case under advisement for several months.
Counter Proposal
Pollard is said to have asked for the dismissal of the bill for an injunction. Howard made a counter proposal, which provided for dismissal of the petition for an injunction conditioned upon a surrender of the charter under which Virginia Elks parent body and a guarantee that hoped to operate independently of the parent body and a guarantee that there would be no punitive action taken against Virginia Elks by the parent body. All costs of the litigation including counsel fees were to be borne by Virginia Elks.
The counter proposal made in writing by Howard was subject to the approval of Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson and would have been entered in the form of a consent decree making it blinding upon both the Virginia Elks and the parent body.
Terms too Hard
Pollard is said to have thought the terms a little too stringent. He was not willing to agree to a surrender of the plate charter without further conferences with those whom he represented. Howard is reported as having been unwilling to recommend to Grand Excalled Ruler Wilson any other terms than those which he submitted to Pollard, which would give the parent body every relief asked of the court and only assure Virginia Elks against reprisals for violation of the sedition laws of the order. Pollard returned to Richmond without having come to any definite agreement with Howard.
Howard Silent
Howard would answer no questions concerning his conference with Pollard. Neither would he forcast a decision by Judge Groner. He was asked why Pollard had made a peace move on behalf of Virginia Elks. He said he did not know. He was asked whether charges would be prosecuted against Virginia Elks if an injunction should be granted the parent body restraining Virginia Elks under a state charter. His rebuke that it is not his duty to prefer charges and he could not say what would be done. Neither would he say whether or not delegates from the lodges which applied for the charter would be seated in the Elks Convention at Detroit, Mich., next month.
He did say, however, that only one lodge would be affected by the court action, and that is Williams Lodge of Richmond, and that James T. Carter, former grand treasurer, favors an amicable settlement of differences between Virginia Elks and the parent bodies.

WASHINGTON. — Misconduct by a jury who sat in the trial of three men found guilty of first desecre murder in the slaving of a prohibition agent, and errors in the admission and rejection of evidence, are the basis of a motion for a new trial filed Friday for the men who now face the electric chair.

Trouble in Booking Passage
They reported that in leaving America they had considerable trouble in booking passage, due to color discrimination. After engaging tourists on the Rochambeau of the French Line by telphone, Mrs. Tyler went in person to pay for it, and was then informed that a mistake had been made as "all the berths had been sold."
Steamship Co.'s Agree on Color Line
She then attempted to secure berths for all three through the New Jersey National Bank and Trust Company. The agents there, she said, were anxious to serve her, but they were informed that there was a general agreement among the steamship companies not to carry the people of the country. The only company that was willing to do so, she learned, was the Swedish-American line.
Later, however, Mrs. Granger, who is very light in color, went down to the Holland-American line, and secured a cabin for three.

PRIMARY CASE NOW IN SUPREME COURT
PRIMARY CASE NOW IN SUPREME COURT
Tribunal Asked to Decide Whether Party Organization Can Bar Negroes.
ARKANSAS CASE UP
Abridged, Petition Says.
WASHINGTON—Protesting against what they call a denial of their most important constitutional rights, J. Robinson and other Negro voters of Little Rock, Ark, have filed a petition in the Supreme Court asking that body to decide whether political party organizations can lawfully prohibit Negroes from participating in their primaries.
The U.S. Supreme Court case follows the action of the Arkansas Supreme Court in setting aside a temporary injunction which prohibited the Arkansas Democratic Committee from refusing Robinson and other registered Negro Democrats from voting in 1928.
They Voted in 1928
In that primary the voted before the State Court rendered its decision, and while the injunction was still in force.
In March, 1997, the U.S. Supreme Court in a suit brought by L. A. Nixon of El Paso, Texas, held invalid a Texas statute prohibiting Negroes from voting in the Democratic primary on the ground that such a state law was an infringement of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution.
Two days after this appeal was taken to the U.S. Supreme Court, a Federal district judge in El Paso, Texas, upheld the right of the Democratic executive committee of that state to primaries, and dismissed an injunction application of a San Antonio Negro desiring to vote in the primary next Saturday.
The Arkansas Supreme Court ruled that the Nixon decision did not prohibit a political organization from determining its own membership or from deciding who it would permit to vote at its primaries.
These lower court decisions in Arkansas and Texas, however, are opposed to the recent ruling by the U.S. Circuit. Court of Appeals of the Fourth Circuit that the Democratic party in Virginia cannot legally ban Negroes.
Denied Rights, Say Petitioners
The Robinson petition sets out that whereas the Democratic party in Arkansas is uniformly successful, and is the only organization through which a voter can express his choice, denial of the right to vote therein deprived them of this constitutional right.

Captain Fred Cornwell Fair to Negro Patrolmen
(Washington Bureau of the AF/O)
WASHINGTON. — There will be a vacancy at the head of the Fourta Precinct for several weeks, which the 83 policemen, 7 colored, unanimously acclaim cannot be filled until the return of their captain, Fred M. Cornwell, white.
Captain Cornwell, by his whole heartedness and finesse, in endearment, the men of whatever district he happens to serve. His present assignment is the only one in Washington, perhaps in the United States, which boasts a colored desk sergeant, "Bob" Carrol.
Advised of his departure, a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN asked Captain Cornwell where he was going.
"No where in particular" he replied, my wife and myself are just going to the lakes in Pennsylvania and the lake section on a few weeks' vacation."
Commends Officers
When questioned as to the quality of the work done by the colored officers under his command, the jovial captain commended them highly for the care of all the officers, is high re said.
Captain Cornwell entered the force in 1897, being promoted to his present rank five years ago. Among his first districts was the Fourth Precinct, then he served with other officers for five years. Two years ago he was reassigned to his present precinct.

Increased Pay Bill Carries Conditional Clause.
(Washington Bureau of the AFRO) WASHINGTON. — Although ignored in the recent wholesale promotions in the police department, 47 privates have smiles on their faces as a result of the increased pay bill enacted by Congress the first of July.
Concrete evidence that the bill had been successfully passed after a perilous trip through Congress, was given the privates when they glanced into their pay envelopes at the end of the second week in July. Their next pay day will come the last of July.
Members of the No. 4 Engine House of the Fire Department received similar increase as did the policemen. The new law provides that all privates of the Metropolitan police force and of the fire department shall be following salaries: privates who have served less than one year, at the rate of $1,900 per year; between one and two years, $2,000; between two and three years, $2,100; between three and four years; $2,200; between four and five years; $2,300; privates who have served more than five years will be paid at the rate of $2,400 per year.
May be Dropped
The act further provides that no increase will be provided any person who, the judgment of the District commissioners, has not rendered satisfactory service. Any private who fails to receive such annual increase for two successive years shall be deemed inefficient and removed from the service.
All 47 colored members of the police force received increases.

TOWNSENDS FATE AWAITS CLOSE OF CAMPAIGN
Governor too Busy to Grant Hearing on Extradition.
MANY RUMORS
Say Secy. Met Alleged Killer 2 Years Ago.
In a telegram to the AFROAMERICAN, Wallace Edwards, white, secretary to the Governor, declared that requisition papers in the case of Mr. McMullen had been honored. A protest has been filed and a hearing will be granted by Governor Norton on a date to be determined.
NASHVILLE. (ANP) — That Governor Henry H. Horton has been too busy in his campaign for re-election to hold a hearig in the extradition cases of Dr. A. M. Townsend and his son, wanted in Indiana to answer charges of conspiracy in connection with the killing of E. D. Pierson on April 18, is the understanding of those close to the situation in Tennessee. The governor of Indiana has signed papers asking for the extradition of the Townsends into Indiana where they may be formally arraigned at Scottsburg. The attorney general is said to be anxious to have the hearing and would have held that the arrests here made since the攻城者 then in town, but the papers were late in reaching him from the prosecuting attorney in Scottsburg.
Many Rumors
The town abounds in rumors. Among them is the story that Dr. Townsend first made the acquaintance of Washington, the reputed
murderer, two years ago. Someone mysteriously shot Dr. Townsend in the foot one night. No one appeared to know who did it not was any reason ever made public.
Inquiring for a good investigator, the Rev. Mr. Westbrook of Apla, a friend of Townsend, is said to have recounted Washington. Townsend him but no report of his activities was ever made. There those who think, however, that Washington in his report to Townsend had accused Pierson of being the man who shot him.
A year later at the last Baptist convention in Kansas City, when one of the committees was meeting, Mr. Pierson is said to have been toying with a revolver which was of 32 calibre. Noticing the weapon, Dr. Townsend is said to have exclaimed, "Why, that's the same callbure gun I was shot with." After that incident one is said to have had to pass three secretaries before he could reach Dr. Townsend's office.
"Prove It." Said Townsend
Another story unconfirmed, but given great credence is of an occurrence in the state of Tennessee, interviewed Dr. Townsend when the arrests were about to be made. Dr. Townsend, who was a teacher, absolutely no emotion as questions were asked him. "Man," the questioning official is said to have exclaimed, "I was the death of a man who worked so closely with you for twelve years?" It is said that Dr. Townsend just shrugged and said to have directly accused Dr. Townsend of complicity. The answer from the physician who preferred church work to the practice said to have been simple to move it.
Friends Speculate
Although friends of Dr. Townsend who have known him for years continue to speculate as to what turn things in his case may be, he will not be taken to Scotland, he will be implicated in the killing. They do not believe that he ordered the gang murder, but fear that he has been drawn into the gang picture as an arch-conspirator. Some go so far as to explain that Dr. Townsend, or someone high in Baptist affairs, might have been approached by Washington with a proposition to settle the matter some time later. He unexpected tragedy was the result.
Think Westbrook Innocent
Westbrook's friends declare that he was drawn in entirely innocently. He is said to have been entirely immersed in his church work. He was not outstanding. People never thought of him in large civic affairs, citizen visiting here remarked: "If you wanted a church to hold

Washington a Kluxer
A complete check-up on the life of George Washington, alleged confessed killer of Plerson has revealed a very checkered career.

They voted to let him have the $300 they had in the treasury but that is the last they ever heard of the $300 or the investigation. In all at Scotttsburg, Washington is said to be shouting to whoever will come within earshot, that he is being held as a member of the black branch of the Klux. Gary police are said to believe him the murderer of a minister there three years ago. Another any clue has ever been uncovered.

We see no Fish investigation of unemployment; we see no Fish investigation of mer; we see no Fish investigation of the blood system; we exploit the blood system. We want you to know that the Communist party represents the workers of all races and you will not succeed in crushing it out."

Argus Claims He Profits by K.K.K. Help.
ST. LOUIS, Mo.—The campaign of Walthall M. Moore for the Republican nomination for Congress against L. C. Dyer, white, present inumbent, brought to St. Louis last week the imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and also Congressman Oscar DePriest.
Congressman DePriest, who spoke before a large audience in Tabernacle Baptist Church for 50 minutes, declared that the only way the St. Luke教会 could get anything to be take it. He urged the community to organize, register and vote in the coming election to get what you take he said.
Klan Leader Appears
**MARSHAL**
The imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan who paid this city a visit at the same time, said that he appeared not only to oppose Mr. Moore's candidacy of Congress of the United States that they must use their influence to help disfranchise the Negroes throughout the whole country by the repeal of the Fourteenth and Twelfth Amendments to the Constitution.
The St. Louis Argus reported that the Klan leader brought with him $20,000 to be used in the district to defecit Mr. Moore. The Argus also charged him with the Klan's responsibility for the Klan's entrance into the campain. Dyer alone will profit by it.
The Argus points out that Dyer has not repudiated the Klan, although he has been unwilling vigorously for colored votes.
**Moore Speaks**
Walshall Moore in his speech before a crowded mass meeting last week said: "I challenge Mr. Dyer to show that he has done as much for the colored people as I have been able to do right here in the State Legislature. He will have the benefit of colored people which has become a law."
Representative Dyer sponsored the anti-lynching bill in Congress which passed the House but which was unable to get to the Senate. Mr. Dyer said this address said: "It is easy enough to introduce bills and get them through the lower house of a legislative body, but they have to be followed. Where they come when his anti-lynching bill was being passed by the United States Senate?"

Maryland "Flunks" on Julius Rosenwald
Maryland "Flunks" on Julius Rosenwald
Thirteen years ago Mr. Julius Rosenwald, Jewish philanthropist, established a fund which in cooperation with fourteen Southern states, has built over five thousand Negro rural schools. These schools have a teaching force 1,25,94 an enrollment of 566,730 and cost $2,000,000. Toward this sum the whole of the various school communities gave $1,004,366, the colored people $4,220,726 and $1,426,928 was taken from the public schools. The Rosenwald itself offered for these purposes $2,660,302. That is, by giving two millions and a half, Mr. Rosenwald stirred up communities to give eight times that amount for new school buildings. Mr. Rosenwald, in establishing the fund, provided that the capital as well as income may be expended by the self-perpetuating board of eleven trustees, and the entire fund, both capital and income, must be spent within twenty-five years after his death. On June 30, 1929, the fund was approximately $30,000,000, and at five per cent, the income was $1,500,000 annually. These figures show that the trustees were not able undeniably to medicines they have established, to expend the income of the fund, but were spending only $300,000 a year while the fund is earning in interest income over a million dollars every year.
They explained also why through new organization last year the fund extended its activities to include other aspects of Negro education, to help the man of moderate means secure hospital and medical attention and to attack other social problems. Change it is but true that with our rural South in need of better schools, there isn't sufficient leadership among Negroes and intelligence among whites to use the $1,500,000 income from the Rosenwald fund which is available every year. It has gotten to the point where Mr. Rosenwald must not only put up the money to help us build rural schools, but he must also send out agents to advertise his work to the light, and adequate—are worth more to a community than the dirty, inadequate shacks that we now generally have. This might seem a dark situation to a great-hearted soul like Mr. Rosenwald; but if he looks down into North Carolina, he ought to be encouraged. That state today has 762 Rosenwald schools costing nearly $5,000,000, toward which the fund contributed $654,751. The if the thirteenth state were as educational endeavor as North Carolina, the income of the Rosenwald fund would be used up every year as the donor intended.
One of the states educationally backward in making us of Mr. Rosenwald's offer is Maryland; which, according to a report dated July 1, 1927, had only 102 Rosenwald schools, costing $112,000 of which the fund contributed $72,900.
Perhaps this difference between backward Maryland and progressive North Carolina can be laid to the school administration rather than to the people themselves.
North Carolina has Mr. N. C. Newbold, white, director of Negro schools who, by voice and pen, strives to convince his state of the advantage of the Rosenwald school. Mr. George Huffington, white, as its director of Negro schools, Mr. Huffington has long been accused of incompetence, but nothing more need be said about it.
We only point to Maryland's position among the fourteen states which have built Rosenwald schools. North Carolina is first and Florida last. NEXT TO LAST. IS MARYLAND.
Deporting Radicals
Inspector John A. Lyons, of the New York radical and bomb squad, has the backing of the Evening Graphic when he cries: "Daport the reds and radicals!"
"They are the few who do not want to walk the way of the many," says he, "we will be well rid of them."
Too bad that Mr. Lyons and the Graphic have not learned from American history the lesson of toleration and freedom of speech.
During the Revolution we didn't deport Tories, but the patriotic patriots. Abolitionists, prohibitionists, advocates of free silver or women's suffrage never faced deportation because of their utterances. We absorbed the Mormons and pacifistic Quakers, Jews, Catholics and Seventh Day Adventists all have gone into the melting pot together.
Now come the Communists—for whom we have the utmost respect and good will—and even journeymen in cosmopolitan New York advocate deportation.
Says the AFRO to the Communists: "More power to you and more soap boxes."
Ambassadors—Donkeys
Mr. Paul Claudel, French Ambassador to Washington, gave an interview to Paris reporters recently in which he was quoted as saying: "Europeans ask me how it happens that Americans torture their Negroes, but in all my time there I have never witnessed any of these tortures." Difference of course is that lynchings do not occur in the U.S.A. France usually sends men to the United States. In this case that country seems to have erred and sent one who talks like a donkey, instead. Now the AFRO-AMERICAN Claudel, personally, however, the AFRO-AMERICAN would insist that however silly he talks, he is a donkey, and must be of some distinction because he is a representative of the French government.
Get Out of Haiti
Haiti is restless under the American occupation. Whether or not it has a right to be is not the question. The fact remains that it is.
Against the will of the Haitian people Uncle Sam assumed control through the landing of marines fifteen years ago. By forced treaty the Occupation was first legalized, then expanded, and having assumed control of Haiti's finances through collecting its customs and making its budget, this country has succeeded to clean up its roads, improve its farming and industrial methods, wipe out disease and educate its children.
All of these things are being done with characteristic American thoroughness accompanied also by the characteristic injection of white supremacy in liberal doses.
The ancient U.S. theory that a Negro has no rights which a white man is bound to respect is revived in the occupation of Haiti. Nothing besides explain how our marines, educators and financiers have established themselves in a strange land, exploited the people, and not only hope it remain indefinitely, but employ a large part of their time and energy working for permanent occupation.
This was the situation which began under President Wilson and grew worse under Harding and Coidge. Then Mr. Hoover with his pronouncement told the "the United States has no reason to remain in Haiti after 1836" when the treaty expires.
Mr. Hoover's appointment of the Forbes tranquility, served to acquaint the people of the United States with the extent to which we had violated the sovereignty of a smaller nation and ruthlessly exploited it because it was black. The Motton Commission designed to bring educational peace to the country last week. Whatever they may do, they served as ambassadors of good will and testified to the desire of Mr. Hoover to get out of Haiti in 1936.
Haiti is restless under the American occupation. Whether or not it has a right to be is not the question. The fact remains that it is.
Against the will of the Haitian people Uncle Sam assumed control through the landing of marines fifteen years ago. By forced treaty the Occupation was first legalized, then extended, and having assumed control of Haiti's finances through establishing its customs and making its own this country has proceeded to clean up the island, build its roads, improve its farming and industrial methods, wipe out disease and educate its children.
All of these things are being done with characteristic American thoroughness accompanied also by the characteristic injection of white curacao in liberal doses.
The ancient U.S. theory that a Negro has no rights which a white man is bound to respect is revived in the U.S. occupation of Haiti. Nothing else could explain how our marines, educators and financiers have established their strange land, exploited people, and not only hope it remains indefinitely, but employ a large part of time and energy working for permanent occupation.
This was the situation which began under President Wilson and grew worse under Harding and Coolidge. Then came Mr. Hoover with his pronouncement that the "the United States has no mandate to remain in Haiti after 1936" when the treaty expires.
Mr. Hoover's appointment of the Forbes Commission, which gave Haiti political tranquility, served to acquaint the people of the United States with the extent to which we had violated the sovereignty of a smaller nation and ruthlessly exploited it because it was black and weak. The Moton Commission designed to bring educational peace to Haiti, returned, last week. Whatever else they may do, they served as ambassadors of good will and testified to the desire of Mr. Hoover to get out of Haiti in 1936. Privileged to accompany the latter commission and to sit in on its deliberations unofficially, the editor of the AFRO-AMERICAN discovered:
1. That U.S. educational experts have introduced for the first time the study of agriculture, mechanics, and domestic science in Haitian schools.
2. That the U.S. has built the first adequate school buildings the rural communities have had.
3. That the U.S. has developed the plans for the training of rural teachers through normal schools and summer schools.
4. That through farm supervisors and farm bureaus, the man farthest down in Haiti is getting a chance for the first time.
We discovered that with the above-mentioned advantages the American educational program carried with it certain disadvantages:
1. It kept away from the educational program kept in Haiti directed by the Haitian Minister of Education and Agriculture, sought to discredit the Haitian educational system and rapidly exterminate it by substituting for its public schools in which every boy would learn agriculture or mechanics.
2. It extended itself too rapidly, taking by force over half the entire national school budget for industrial education despite the protest and objection of the teachers.
3. It paid American salaries from the Haitian treasury to "experts" who knew neither tropical agriculture nor the French language. Where U.S. experts were qualified, the difference between salaries paid them and those paid Haitians was far too large.
4. Haitians who love and who imitate liberal French were withdrawn about and advised to the United States with its worship of money and exalation of color.
In a word, the United States is bungling its educational program in Haiti because it cannot properly evaluate a French culture in a black head.
Intread of good will, the United States in Haiti but adds to the number of its enemies whose hatred grows with the years.
So general is this ill will and so bitter in some circles, that our marines must be kept in Haiti as long as our educational robbers are, and when they do it we will not surprise us to see the rejoicing Haitians put the torch to every building we have erected, in order that all tangible evidence of our unwelcome stay there might be destroyed at once and forever.
So general is this ill will and so bitter in some circles, that our marines must be kept in Haiti as long as our educational robbers are not allowed to enter. We must see to us the rejoicing Haitians put the torch to every building we have erected, in order that all tangible evidence of our unwelcome stay there might be destroyed at once and forever. These are the facts; now, what is the remedy? Can Uncle Sam in the six years to come undo the damage he has done years? He can, but his very unlikely, that he will.
The old New Englanders, men and women, who left home and comfort to take knowledge and culture to black freedmen in the South seventy years ago, seem to be gone forever. In places similar to the ones they filled in Dixie, there stand today the hard, cold Americans in Haitian schools, talking to the Frenchmen in English, despising their scholars' race and their scholars' eye on the clock and the other on the pay-roll.
To us there seems to be but one decent and proper thing to do; namely, to get out of Haiti in 1836, and then stay out. That seems to be the present mind of President Hoover. Nothing else can save Haiti from consuming hatred and national humiliation. We must save the United States from its own greed, restore its self-respect, and clear its own conscience.

Great Batting
The United States Military Academy at West Point fitted it battens average at the expense of Congressman Oscar DePriest last week, and when Mr. Denkton J. Brooks, Jr., of Chicago was refused admission on account of high blood pressure, the score read:
West Point.....4
DePriest.....0
Of course, if Mr. Brooks hadn't been found with high blood pressure, other allied defects, physical or mental, have been covered and magnified until they have allegedly large enough to cause his expulsion.
By fair means, preerably, by but for means, if necessary, our white people have determined to keep Negros out of West Point.
Considering the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, the situation is much worse. Annapolis has knocked Mr. DePriest's pitching to all corners of the score now stands:
Annapolis.....14
DePriest.....0
Of course, if Mr. Brooks hadn't been found with high blood pressure, other alleged defects, physical or mental, would sooner or later have been uncovered and magnified until they were allegedly large enough to cause his expulsion. By fair means, pre-erase, but by foul means, necessary, our whole people have determined to keep Negroes out of West Point. Considering the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, the situation is much worse. Annapolis has knocked Mr. DePriest's pitching to all corners of the lot, and the score now stands: Annapolis.....14 DePriest.....0
The ability of the Naval Academy to punch out fougures Mr. DePriest's score is not mean that the candidates have been poor. There is evidence to the contrary. The score shows that, despite their excellence they were not able to get into Annapolis Naval Academy and stay there.
Of course, Mr. DePriest has been playing the game fairly while his opponents at Annapolis and West Point have used all the illegal and unauthorized players. Gentleman DePriest is up against the "muckers" and to date they have wallowed him consistently.
Nor is there much use in waiting until Annapolis and West Point get ashamed of themselves and decide to play fairly. Muckers have thick hides and no consciences. They understand only force.
We are sure Mr. DePriest understands all this as well as anybody else, but we venture to suggest that some changes in the personnel of the hard-boiled, lily-wild examining boards at Annapolis and West Point might be a good thing for the country. Special investigation or a 100 per cent physical examination of the examiners ought to relieve these gentlemen of their color bias and give them something else to think about.
This Reader Thinks Sponsors Acted Wisely in canceling Congressman DePriest's Alabama Speaking Engagement.
To the Editor:
I think that the organization sponsoring the engagement for Congressman Oscar DePriest in Alabama acted very wisely in postponing the speaking engagement or changing the place where he speaks.
I admit that as a Congressman of the United States, Mr. DePriest should be privileged to speak wherever he wishes, yet I feel that his safety is more important than having people of such a place Alabama hear him.

By E. R. BENNETT
The majority are mothers.
But some are men are wives;
No different from the others
They mourn the loss of lives.
With most it was a loving son:
With others, husband true
Who fought and died, but won
Victory for me and you.
Tis history these lov'd ones made
Battling on Foreign soil;
No vain regrets because they gave
Their All to spoil.
Enough to know they did not fail
When call'd to pay the price;
Such deeds with Country should prevail,
Grateful of sacrifice.
But gratitude well nigh forgot.
By scheming, lawless band,
Fored segregation is the lot.
Of humblest in the land.
Ruthless the prejudice they show
(America's greatest enemy).
To HIVES or MOTHERS. O soul blow!
To loss and grief the same.
To tinsel turn the "Stars of Gold"
Once worn in Honor's name;
Cast down and hurt, yet some so bold
They soom to dull the fame.
Hearts and minds still crave
To view the sacred spot... so bare...
Their own, true HERO'S GRAVE.
We sympathize and blame them not.
GREAT SOULS! We would acclaim;
But how to rid our Land of blot
Which ranks, dims her fame?
How boast of Justice, Liberty?
How sing of Freedom grantee?
Where lies the truth, the share,

War Veteran Denrecates Jim Crow of Gold Star Mothers by the Hoover Administration.
To the Editor:
Some of the colored Gold Star Mothers have been in Crow practices of Uncle Sam and have crossed the ocean, there to view the graves of their loved ones who fell in battle to make the world safe for democracy.
I don't see how Uncle Sam can call on colored men in Crow with such cannon fodder after such unjust treatment. There was no Jim Crow when the boys went across to fight. I know, because I was one of the number to cross over. We all, colored and white, ate together and together. Men in Crow canteenaries are today sleeping under the soil of France.
We who crossed over and fought side by side with your boys, and through chance returned to these shores safe and sound, also grieve with you, real men and died as heroes. What price glorify?
I don't see how Uncle Sam can call on colored mothers in future wars to furnish cannon fodder after such unintentional treatment. Carefully, the body went across to fight. I know, because I was one of the number to cross over. We all, colored and white, ate together and bunked together. Many of my colored comrades died in the war. We who crossed over and fought side by side with your boys, and through chance returned to these shores safe and sound, also grieve with veu. We real men and died as heroes. What price slips?

A Few Words of Praise for Fifty Gold Star Mothers.
To the Editor:
If it were possible, I would with praise and esteem clasp the hands of those of our Gold Star mothers, give them the奖励, band to light in an imperialistic war demanded fair treatment and fair transportation to their graves, or no transportation at all.
It was an august and self-honorable spirit that gave them the courage and dignity to take such a victory rarely exemplified by the less dominant race.
This weak but venerable race, of which I am so proud, has for years accepted the worn-outs and don't-wants of that calous and inconsiderate men which we call at the present, the more dominant.
This weak but so proud, has and don't-want to dominate. Our power to cheap and irr dormant, yean dormant, yean. Our power to pierce, yean. Our power to pierce, yean.

In Old Benedict.
Get Into the Air.
BENEDICT COLLEGE, Columbia.
South Carolina, for more than half a century one of the traditional institutions of the South, has passed under the administration of a Negro president. This institution is but following the trend of all seats of learning which were established primarily to help the freedmen, and is the fulfillment of the very purpose which they started out to accomplish; namely, to furnish Negro leaders. These leaders are now taking their places at the helm of things.
The end of white presidents at Benedict recalls, however, that through low period some of the stunchest humanitarians that out of New England came to this institution and established its early traditions.
For a white educator from Brown, Harvard, or Yale to come into South Carolina to teach Negroes forty years ago, meant something, quite different from what it would mean today. Those who remember teachers like Dr. A. C. Osborn, Frank K. Knowles and Mrs. Josephine R. Armstrong, and the sturdy doggedness with which they stood their ground in the Palmetto State, know what manner of fighting stuff whiltd the spirits of its students who are scattered throughout the country. There was never anything spectacular about Benedict College. Under Dr. Osborn it stood for an uneducated man, an attuned thinker in all situations. They did notarry with expediencies. They did not try to win big endowments nor attract the favor of monied men by turning to this or that "ism."
Every year at Benedict somebody pave a commencement oration on John Brown; and DuBois was as much at home on its grounds as he would have been on Boston Common. They also planted potatoes and studied biology. It welcomed liberal whites of the South, of whom there were many, men like him. Proud of their university, young biologist president who dared to teach the principles of evolution to his students, and Dr. Mitchell, president of the University of South Carolina, among those who braved the Southern tradition to come to Benedict and lecture to Negro Students.
These acts, within themselves, inscribed a brawn and stunning character, which the easing-up student of today knows a little of.
This writer shall never forget the week following the Atlanta riots when Dr. Osborn read with heated fever the philippe published last week in the New York Independent with W. E. B. DuBois, and how that venerable president laid down his promise with a parent-training admonition: "Young men and women, that is the kind of talk worth dying with." Some years ago, the state legislature of South Carolina tried to leaslite white teachers out of the college. They failed, and we are not at all certain but that the old spirit of Dr. Osborn has been superceded d-by the go-get-tile of the school's enormous endowments the most immo-tant things in institution building.
Let us hope that under the new president something of the old Benjamin will survive. Let us hone that it will not succumb to the temptation to appease either white or Negro demagogues, nor born down to the monied interests. Let its students still debate whether we need a heaven or a hell to keep men straight; whether the existing economic system is designed to make most men comfortable with other communities or rival race integrity is the best solution for the South.
They may be all wrong in their arguments: but being wrong may be right. If it teaches the human to think freely and form judgments.
Let us hope that Benjamin will not fall heir to the high-hatted frat stature, and to chasing the froth of civilization rather than being content only with the clear running liquid living beneath.
A little college of this kind in the heart of South Carolina could do more to refashion the South than an institution with millions of endowment.
ALFRED ANDERSON. 23, of 11 Prospect Avenue. Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, was slightly injured as his monoplane crashed into a group of trees while trying to take off there Sunday. Anderson is the only Negro birdman in the East.
Young Anderson's injury may interest the physician, but what should be done? Negroes HE IS THE ONLY NEGRO BIRDMAN IN THE EAST.
There are some things for which we can blame white prejudice, but the lack of young men and women trying to fly is one thing for which we have our own leaders to blame.
Any lodge in any section of almost any city in this country throws away enough money on unessential things each year to raise some young man in the air. As matters go, by the time the Negro wakes up and gets into the flying game, all the air lanes will have been sold, and as in other things, we shall be lagging and whining. There may be some excuses for some of our other failures, but we were an up-and-going race of men and women when flying started. All we have to do is to get in line.

Traveling Jim Crow in Dixie
By GEORGE S. SCHUYLER in The American Mercury [Extracts]
What is particularly annoying to the Negro traveler is the lack of uniformity in jim crow customs. For instance, when he descends from a train at a station in the South, he has no way of knowing whether the "white" taxicabs will accept him as a fare or not. If there are no Nero cabs about, he has to take a chance on being refused and perhaps insulted.
In Memphis it is necessary for a Negro to obtain a Negro taxicab. In Little Rock one may take any cab, whether operator will call at one's hotel or rooming place at any hour of the day or night. In Vicksburg one must take a Negro cab. In Monroe and Shreveport a Yellow cab will carry anybody, whether operator will call at any hour. When I first visited Dallas four years ago I had to call for a Negro cab from the station but I understand it is different now. In San Antonio you take any availance from the city of Virginia cities I have visited. In New Orleans last Winter I missed the morning train to Mobile because of my inability to get a Negro cab in time, while dozens of empty cars were waiting impatiently for other hand I nearly missed a train once from Shreveport to Marshall, Texas, because I thought a Yellow cab would not carry me and I was waiting impatiently for by. When I told the landlord about it, she telephoned for a Yellow cab and it was there in four minutes. Despite the name, some of the Black and White cab were in Narrison, Narrison, Narrison in a town a short distance away will gladly do so.
The following experience of a white Negress is evidence that it pays to be informed on the vagaries of jim crow. Not knowing the custom in Birmingham, that great intellectual center, she hailed a white chauffeur when she got off the bus and met others about. The fellow came with a smile. When the taxicab arrived at the address she had given, a very black woman, a relative, rushed out and embraced the passenger. The chauffeur, who had been paid his hire and given a ride into the woman's face, cursed her fearfully and warned her never to get in a white taxicab again. She hasn't.
On Street Cars
This confusion of lim crow practice is not confined to taxicabs, for the strange Negro can get into a peck of trouble on the street cars. For instance, all passengers, white and black, enter and leave from the car of the street car. N.C. In Attica, blacks may enter from the center or rear but they must leave from the rear. In Memphis Negros enter from the rear and leave from the rear while whites enter and leave from the front. In Memphis enter from the front. While Negros enter from the front of street cars in every other place in the South the short electric line from Fort Gibson to Muskogee, Okla. insists that they sit in the front rows. I clearly recall being bawled by a long white doctor because I was abiding by the laws of the South.
Many street cars in Dixie have movable signs, marked "White" on one side and "Colored" on the other, which fit by pips into holes in the back of each seat. Other signs, marked "Black" on the car from front to rear while Negroes fill it from rear to front, and these signs are supposed to be moved by the conductor accordingly. Other signs are imaginary lines. There is naturally bound to be confusion and misunderstanding, especially during the hours of heaftraffic. Sometimes white signs where they sit with embattlers who dare not follow suit; at other times, because of crowded conditions, Negroes have to push into what the whites consider the door of the car. There are crowds where there are Negroes and many whites; on others just the reverse is true. In such cases a car may be overflowing with blacks or whites with no room for members of the crowd. There are Negroes in such situations that flesh and murders are sometimes the result.

A writer declared in a recent article that as the Negro becomes acclimated to the modern civilization his suicide rate will increase and in the generation to come will equally of the Negro's suicide rate marks his cultural development," he declares.

Caucasians may be smarter than anybody else because they kill themselves more, but it is better to be heathen than a dead Caucasian.
If life wasn't worth living they wouldn't have allotted us three and ten years in it and it's a机械 world who get tired living that short while probably be bored to death by eternity.
It might be o.k. to bump yourself off occasionally, but it's awful embarrassing to take a crack at yourself with a cat and miss.

It is best for everybody to learn how to use firearms eflectively because you would probably be excited if every time you wanted to take your life you'd have to pay some professional gunman to do it.
The original cost might not be so much but those guys are liable to be blackmail you by threatening to expose you by writing a copy of your contract on your tombstone.
Of course, jumping overboard with a cake of soap in your hand would be the cleanest way to commit suicide, but this wouldn't go in the winter time because you would be liable to catch your death of cold.

The Proofreader Talks
The proofreader is continually annoyed by being called upon to correct proofs after some writer who has muddled his or her work when attempting to formulate a writer or that. And among writers—especially among those who have received no instruction in the technique—there are prevailing fads of mannersism just as there are prevailing fads in clothes, mustaches, games and what not. In recent years, the prevailing mannersism is the use—or rather the abuse of omission or "suspension" periods. The use of stars (asterisks) to denote the omission of certain words is many years old—a century at least. In recent years, because the use of spicuous, periods have been generally used for the same purpose.
A few years ago, H. G. Wells, the English novelist, astonished and bounced off the news of his book for what he called "suspension." For instance, he might write: "John took his hat and . . ." When the reader reached the periods, he could—as the author did—"hold his pint," fill in the blank to himself and then resume the reading which followed.
This mannerism took hold. Many writers who read it to what it was all about, nevertheless they stuck in the periods, here, there and any old where. At present it is impossible to guess, in most instances, the writer has in mind if anything.
Proreaders were originally called "correctors for the press." They still are expected to perform that function, most writers whose stuff reaches the newspaper and magazine offices. Being usually modest persons as well as concientious ones, those mannerisms—especially as is usual, when errorless—cause them trouble and annoyance.
The proofreader is supposed to correct all the errors that he detects, whether of spelling, grammar, punctuation, diction or inconsistencies of his own work. He is tolerably competent, he has taken special courses in order to acquire the necessary technique for his task. He is anxious to let the writer have his say and his way—yet errors, if passed, are chargable to the "corrector." Now, what shall he do with the output of the half-taked—or even the full-tailed—work of users, or over-users, or confuses someone else's mannerisms?
I have just finished an article that raised these questions repeatedly and insisted in this case, I tried to answer it. I could not from himself, or rather herself, and I always do (partly for my own and my paper's reputation) except when I wrote a letter to a writer who would not welcome being saved. Even then it must be remembered that the matter in newspapers was over or the meaning guessed at.

Baptists Adjured to Go on Record for Prohibition
Open Letter to L. K. Williams,
Pres., National Baptist Convention
By KELLY MILLER
Reverend L. K. Williams, D.D.
Pres., National Baptist Convention,
Chicago, Ill.
My dear Dr. Williams:
I want to congratulate you on the
approaching Golden Jubilee of the
National Baptist Convention to be
celebrated next month in the city of
Chicago: Surely fifty years of con-
secutive organized Christian de-
velopment represents an accomplish-
ment for the religious life of
the Negro race. There have over
gathered under the Baptist banner
two-thirds of the recorded church
membership.
Baptists Have Outstripped
Other Denominations.
The rising tide of Northern migration has been coped with by adequate religious statesmanship. Baptist churches have grown up and expanded. The green bay tree without any disparagement denominations, it is only accurate to say that while they have remained comparatively stationary, the Northern cities have been baptized in the on-swelling Baptist flood. One can help noting the comparison in Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newington, as well as in the great centers of the middle west and southwest sections.
We must welcome the suggestion of the organic union of the several more numerous branches of the Methodist Church which would form a wholesome and healthy rivalry in these two great divisions of the Christian army. The smaller and less numerous denominations would retain their useful function of holding the church together for those who might not prefer the Baptist or Methodist theological tenets or ceremonial forms.
College Bred Youth Ignoring the Ministry
Our age is crassly irreligious. In spite of the growing church membership godlessness is rapidly on the gain. The better educated of our youth, especially in the cities, are turning away from the religion of their fathers and mothers. The pulpit and places of moral and spiritual authority are not being received from the cultured and the college bred. Too few of the graduates of our schools and colleges are entering the sacred calling of the ministry. If this tendency is allowed to continue, the lamentable future of the Negro church is easy to predict. The responsibility of correcting this unfortunate tendency rests heavily upon the shoulders of your denomination. Negro Suffers Most
from Liquor Traffic.
I want to urge that the great Baptist denomination at this Golden Jubilee put itself on record in behalf of prohibition. A ringing resolution in this behalf issuing from your influential body at this critical time would reverberate around the world that the Negro Baptists abound in moral energy and spiritual courage. It is needless to point out the havoc that the liquor evil is working within the Negro race. The weak or vessel, the group with least power of inhibition, the unfortunate sufferer of evil practice. Clever minded youth are selling their souls to the Devil for ill-gotten gain through bootlegging and violation of law.
Support of 18th Amendment
Strengthen Others.
The weak race should never strive to rival the stronger in relative wrong-doing. I would be glad to concede to the white race a monopoly of the vices. The minority group should never array itself against the laws of the land unless such laws are enacted in curtailment of its moral and constitutional rights.
It is in vain that we invite comparison with other violated sections of the Constitution. The prohibition amendment is now in the moral focus. Strike the iron while it is not Public conscience is cold on the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The observance of one amendment will lead to the strengthening of all. The violation of, or indifference to the Eighteenth Amendment on the part of the Negro will lead to indifference of white people towards those in which he has peculiar and especial concern.
The church must adopt some principle of practical import that will appeal to the consecration and devotion of high minded youth. They are drifting away from its standards largely because of a lack of such challenge. I believe that a ringing declaration in behalf of temperance on the part of the National Baptist Convention would be quickly followed by the annual and general conferences of the several Methodist denominations, as well as by the smaller religious bodies, and that the whole religious life of the Negro race would be in alignment with the greatest moral reform of the age.
Yours truly,
Yours truly,
MILLER KYLLER
Week's Poem
THE WORD
BY JOHN MASEFIELD
My friend, my bonny friend, when
we are old.
And hand in hand so tottering
down the hill.
May we be rich in love's refined gold.
May love's gold coin be current
with us still.
May love be sweeter for the vanished
days.
And your most perfect beauty still
as dear.
As when your troubled singer stood
at gaze.
In the dear March of a most sacred
year.
May what we are be all we might
have been.
And that potential, perfect, O my
friend.
And may there still be many sheeps
to graze.
In our love's acre, comrade, till
the end.
And may we find, when ended is in page.
Death but a tavern on our pilgrimage.

Advertise Home for Rent Use Negroes as Spite
NEW YORK, N.Y. — Because they quarrelled with their neighbors in a swank residential section, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Fleischman at 1800 Ocean Avenue, they decided to "get even" by inviting tenants to their neighborhood.
Last week they hung a huge sign across the front of their home, intimating that they desired to rent their home "to colored people with children only." This week, Mrs. Fleischman said that after having received apologies from their neighbors they were satisfied and will not rent to Negroes. They declared their home accessible only to white buyers and have moved out.

Swineburne, attorney for the wife, the $31,000 was just a down payment on $250,000 for which she has agreed to give up all claims upon the Rhinelander husband and his millions. The rest is to come in regular payments, he declared.
On the other hand, attorneys representing Kip declared that the $31,000 together with $300 weekly alimony was all that the agreement included.

Offer of Remarriage Comes from Virginia.
NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. To avoid a horde of salesmen and promoters swarming about the Joneses' home seeking a chance to advise her how to invest her $31,000 cash payment in part settlement of her divorce terms with Kip, Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander vanished from the cottage last week.
Real estate men and stock salesmen came in such numbers that it was necessary to place a police guard at the home to repulse those hoping to get a hand in the Rhinelander money coming to his wife.

When asked whether there were prospects of her daughter ever yielding to cupid again, Mrs. Jones declared that she might, but that she did not think it would Mrs. Rhinelander be right away. Alice told reporters that she still loves Kip and will never have anything to do with another man. Another wild statement which shocked reporters was Alice's denial that she was keeping company with a colored man from Harlem.
At length she explained that her mother was white and her father of Indian extraction and nothing has hurt her more than constant newspaper references to her as colored. Alice also said that she had turned down Joseph Berger, white, an acrobat, who she said had tried to make a "good thing out of her." It has been rumored that Alice and her mother have planned a trip to England. Mrs. Jones is an Eng-

This year they chartered the steamer Myles Standish, a swank three decker which at least 100 people would enjoy of room for those who go in for hand holding in the moonlight. Two orchestras, smartly dressed in the approved white and blue shirt with jaunty red jeans—which was only rivaled by the clinking of glasses. And as for the food—just everything from hot dogs to the favorite fried chicken. The most picturequeque of sport clothes completed the evening, only sad moment was when we docked.
The Gang, led by Chief and Mrs. Williams, lined the gangplank and welcomed the guests who included Eunice Brooks, Norman Reeves, Lola Wilson, Charlie Brown, Jacquette Pinkett. Bobbie Giles, A Leitan Walker, A. W. Stines, Ben Wilson, Dr. Hap Delany, Julia Brown Delany, Gentry, Red, the James H.

Robeson Plans Own Theatre
According to the Paris Tribune, Paul Robeson intends founding a theatre of his own in London, one of the principal objects of his cheap seaside arcade-lovers. Plays there that those with Negro themes will also be included in the repertory. "I find," says Robeson, "that there
is a tremendous bond of sympathy; between myself and the more humble patrons of the theatre and concert hall; they are the most important and in large theatre I shall insist on a large and cheaply-priced pit extend almost to the orchestra."
His scheme is to have a large theatre where he can act and give recitals of Negro spirituals. He also says that Eugenio Batista will "reive the Haitian" for him and "hat he will reive "The Emperor Jones." He also announces that he will follow "Othello," with other Shakespeare plays. But this will not be, until he returns from Germany to learn more of the technical side of acting there.
Women Wrestlers Fight Nightly to Please Paris
One of the features of the Bal Tabarin in Montmartre are women wrestlers, champions of their respective countries. There is a stout and strongly built Frenchwoman; a very Italian one, with long muscles; and powerfully built Russian; Martiniquan, coal-black;雕塑 almost like the乳房 of a man, and so on. The Belgian, Czecho-Slovakian and others.
They handle one another roughly, and at times one looks for a broken neck or something of the sort, while the crowd cheers them up. The best sounds are the two female sounds one of them is flying through the air, her legs describing a curve. The other is on her in an instagram fails to pin her to the floor and they wrestle into her faces and bodies
The Martiniquan is the fiercest of the lot, and sometimes she finds a real woman who is a victim of her opponents, twisting their arms and their legs. When the umpire threatens to disguish you with evidence proft, she nokes out her tongue. But is precisely what the majority in the audience wants, and others urge
There is no championship involved.
It is just a nightly act. Many ballet
can tourists visit the ballet, the
wrestlers the wrestlers the
aerial French can-can.

After four weeks in Memphis, weeks of spasmic working and loafing, plenty of rain and retakes, we set out for Hollywood—Culver City, to be more exact.
Our allowance for meals, en route to California, was none too generous and there was much dissatisfaction. The fact that we were moving picture artists did not influence the railroad to lower the cost of dining and we had quite a difficult time of it. Do not get the idea that anybody not too thin to be stylish, however.
We found Hollywood quite different from what we had anticipated, and it took us some time to get used to the artificiality of it all, then when we not accustomed to that, we had to work just as hard to realize that all was not artificial, that there were many genuine things about it.
Actors are Curiosity
Our group was an object of much interest to the Metro-Goldwyn outfit. Our arrival was much more difficult than the hilftero exclusive residential section of town, and there was peering from windows and frank staring by the blase colony. Doubless everybody had to accomplish with an entire cast of inexperienced Negroes, and we saw many amused glances, tinged with irony. The cast of *Hallucilum* cast was a revelation. There were times when Vidor was at a standstill and the proper dialogue was hard to conceive. The cast of the actors put in little touches. Negro manners, phrases that could be written by no white man, resulting in a warm portrayal that caused the world to wow.
Fannie De Knight gave a most perfect performance as the Mammmy growing out of her knowledge of intimate Negro life and wide exposure to her family, to climb in finally her family, to bed, climbing in finally her family, with a sign of thanks, is a gem; also the scene where she intuitively feels that something evil has befallen her sons. He was the Negro cast who suggested all mirrors and pictures be covered in the death scene in the cabin.
Then Victoria Spivey surprised all in her effective portrayal of the simple country girl, and she wrote that she had a part in which one false move would have ruined the character. This characterization certainly seemed inconsistent for a blue singer, for Miss Spivey is famous the country over, and written in hundreds of for the Ochch Phonograph Company, and lately for Victor.
Piavers "Felt" Roles
Surely no cast ever fell more heartily into their respective roles. Haynes would brood for house orders, order the bible, order the religious scenes. Nina Mae practiced quarrelling until she actually lost her temper and stolten her heart. She was also for Swee Gave Fountaine a stiff fight in the "shanty" scene, where he is attempting to prevent her going to the church. Haynes was one glad soul when Vidor called enough. Haynes actually cried when Spunk was sobbed like his heart would break, and when Mammy screamed at news of his death those standing looking on felt a suspicious moisture in their
Outstanding Incidents
The dramatic sense of the Negro actors was a constant revelation. There was no way to gauge their keen imaginativeness. What would they have naturally to them, I recalled the "wake" scene Mr. Vidor had told me the effect he wished to get. I had talked with the singers, explaining the feeling of the scene, right out loud, song "O hiveward You Must Give Up This Body Now." One of the Los Angeles singers had impressed me by her natural. Negro singing, where come our best religious singers. She was given a weird reductive to chant, high above the slow, monotonous wall of the chorus. Our New York bass singer, MacLeod, be be sing first to the bereaved mother, then to the father, the chorus chant continuing. They had mastered the entire routine in a few minutes. The singers on the set he was tense, anticipating a long, hard grind at the scene. He placed Haynes, Slivey, Mammy, Papy in the foreground while the singers were the neighbors who had come to watch the "wake" scene and cameras were adjusted and the action began.
As the scene progressed. Vidor could
not believe his ears. It was a symphony of grief and the singers rocked to and fro like reeds in a storm, their agonized tones veering, sinking, a patchwork of melody, dark and dismal. Against this rose a confident, frenzied declamation, "Jesus said . . . He'd heal the sick . . . and raise the dead. . . ."
It required exactly twenty minutes for a perfect take, instead of the entire day, as had been anticipated. An amusing thing in connection with this was the fact that the director thought the individual singing bits were accidental. They were done so easily and naturally that he did not realize that these bits had been carefully planned for dramatic effect duration.
A similar instance was in the indoor church scene. I had posted a singer to jump to her feet, scream and fall backwards, stiff, at a certain place in the song. When the scene was rehearsed and this was done, Mr. Vidor smiled with satisfaction. Mr. Vidor he cajolated. "Wonder how she happened to do that at that minute. I hope she does it at the actual
Woman Had Weird Cry
Among the extras that night was a spare, black woman of fanatical countenance. When the "shout" began, she let loose a cry that was most mesmerizing. She had never been have heard. It was startling, "Red" Golden heard it, and, beckoning the woman off the set, stationed her in the rear. Then he stood beside her and at regular intervals directed her to repeat the call. She was usually every time he signaled, not varying the least in intensity or character.
Shouting Criticized
There has been a lot of bitter comment on the part of Nergoes concerning this "shouting" scene. Many people have generated. Many say it is a reflection upon the race. Opinions may differ, but facts are facts. That shouting scene is but a mild duplication of what takes place in the city. I was raised up among shouters and have seen that very thing in my hometown, Coffeyville, Kansas, with my own relatives leading the gyrations. I was raised up among shouters and have controlled in certain churches in New York City—so why pretend? To tell the truth, I see nothing in it to be ashamed of. Everybody is insane, they tell me, over one thing or the other. So why be ashamed of people? The power of polygamy? I have seen mobs go wild at a ball game, a prize fight, a horse race, and have seen people give way to emotions far from noble, when one shouts unrestrainedly it is a caw of shame. Well, I cannot see what kind.
With all his biased perspective, due to his Southern blood, it was noted throughout the making of the picture that Vidor had tender respect for the Negro life life portrayed on screen, and avoided many course angles that threatened to crow up in the story. If it was a long time before he could tolerate the commercial idea of a "theme" song, and when the introduction of "The End of the Road" in the church service was unavoidable, he expressed great concern to the outcome, and he was as planned by Vidor was deemed too "arty" by the officials, and thus never saw the light of day.
Gray Dislikes Dialect
The oldest one among us, the one whom we expected to know most about dialect, had the most difficult time talking the illiterate村长 Dad Gray, who was in the dark in Dad Gray's former use of the English language for forty years—had so zealously stunned out traces of his one-time slavery speech that he found impossible to pick up, so he could not bring himself to talk it, that something inside of him rebelled and refused to go back and pick up something he had thrown down in disdain two score years before. How Mr. Gray was able to put over the character of an old parson is a way of all who knew his attitude toward religion. He does not believe in God or any of the tenets of Christianity. It was well nigh impossible to get him to put the real face into religious scenes, an often called to pray; did so like an automaton.
I recall the scene where the Johnson family is assembled in the yard, watching for the return of Zake and Spunk. I go home to market the cotton. Gray was placed with Bible in hand before the camera and the microphone was concealed in the branches of a tree. Instructed to nray. Gray made the following request: "O Lord, we wonder where our boys are this morning. We wonder where the can be: Oh, where can they be? Perhaps they are on their way here, O Lord, we ask Thee to send home this morning or as soon as possible." The cast doubled with laughter.

R.K.O. Stars Fired
The RKO booking offices and two of the more popular comedy teams, Buck and Bubbles and Harris and Radcliffe have reaching the parting of a decade. According to the RKO booking offices, both of these teams hold no further contracted time with that organization, because their business is directed by their thoughtless antics. Neither of the teams, however, has suffered very much, it seems. Buck and Bubbles have been employed by the Blackbirds' and while Harris and Radcliffe are employed by the Leow chain. At one time Harris and Radcliffe were employed by the Leow chain with 49,000 to the booking offices, Buck and Bubbles, it seems, present the fact that Jacob Marcus is getting a big slice of their pay checks, and Buck and Bubbles are managing personal management contract from Nat Nazarow. Being dissatisfied they have tried several times to dissolve the relationship. The courts decided, in a court of appeal, winter and a new hearing was scheduled for the V.M.A. on last Friday.

Local Teachers Make Progress. Miss Elsey in Recital
W. LLEWELLYN WILSON
Elizabeth Ireland teacher of music at School No. 122, is one of our most accomplished pianists.
Miss Ireland has studied for a number of years with local teacher and she has taught at Morgan College. Miss Ireland is a pupil of Katharine E Ducke who heads the work in earmraining, improvisation, and elementary counterpoint.
A Dennis Duisse, who is remembered for the excellent contribution she made to the spring festival of music held here by the local public schools, is now studying at Columbia.
Mise Elsey's Recital
Morgan College during its summer session, in addition to affording a opportunity for academic and professional training, the teacher brings the student body many interesting programs at its assemblies.
Dr. John O. Spencer, the president of the institution, and Prof. Eugene A. Clark, newly elected president of Morgan College, taught at the College at Washington, D.C., and who is also director at the Morgan College Summer School, have united in bringing outstanding speakers to the group.
A recent assembly Miss Ruby Elegee, a former student at Rust College, Mississippi, of which former McGoy of Morgan is now president, gave an excellent concern is interesting to note that Dr. John of United States Bureau of Education. Impressed by the girl's wonderful voice Dr. John immediately took steps to secure for the young woman a scholarship. Ms Elegee, during the short recital at Morgan, proved conclusively that she has the potential with continued effort in the right direction to make her an artist of first rank.
The young singer, to begin with, has a beautiful voice a lyrical soprano, well placed, even in quality throughout its wide range, entirely affective, affective and interpretative are authoritative and at the same time convincing.
Dr. John, Dr. Spencer, Director of Clark are to be heartened that the college is possible for the students at Morran College. I hope that Morgan College, or some organization with longer tenure, will longer recital and under womn favorable conditions.

Rounded cheeks and lips well set—
Lips a-smilng, smiling yet;

Feet that never weary grow
Lightening of another's woe;
Heart a-bubbling o'er with love
From the Fountain-head above;
Life all laughter, words of cheer
Echoing down and down the year;
Loved her well when first we met,
And I love her, love her yet.

It may seem strange to you—once you have heard this twisted tale, but to me it seems stranger every time that I talk about it. But that probably because I knew the principal well.

The story concerns itself about a girl and two men, as most stories usually do. Or maybe there are four or five men — but always the woman. The girl in this story was of several children, and managed to take a different slant on life from those taken by her brothers and sisters. She believed that life owed her a good time, and she set out to in such a way that the members of her family gave up as a bad job and refused to give anything to do with her. That was when she was about sixteen years old.
Bessed or cursed, as you may have with goodooks, this sixteen-year-old girl did not want for companions. She had a way. With Her and soon he was ending herself literally showered with the pretty things of life by male admirers who Knew What They Wanted.
And then one day (it was shortly after the United States entered the World War) she met a young army chap who completely bowled her over. He was different. After a whirlwind courtship they married and lived happily together for several months. And then the long arm of Uncle Same took him across the seas.
It was like tearing her heart out to see him go, but gradually she got over it and in an effort to forget the grimness of war, she met up some of her old gang and started the rounds again. She had wanted to keep away from it, but each highball made her forget her vows more and more.
And then her husband returned from the war. He had a rather gay blade himself, but he had never gone in for good times on a big scale. But rheumatism, contracted while in the trenches, forced him to remain at home more than ever before. After a wife, wearing for a fling at the old life, still, endeavoring to invent, her husband from knowing of her desires, slip out to see some of her old flares.
Somehow or other, as those things always do, the news leaked out about his wife's infidelity. And as it frequently happens, the husband, having an almost implicit faith in his wife's honor, did not blame her but placed the blame at the door of a man Who Hardly Knew Her, when the guilty man was really his best friend, who worked with him every day. Five months later, when the husband came home from work one day, he found all of the furniture had been moved out. The next day he was notified that his wife was suing him for divorce. The shock of the thing so unnerved the fellow that he went completely off his nut and is this day in a government hospital — as crazy as they make 'em. The gal got her divorce and went west with her boy friend, that as soon as they met them until last week when the dispatch told that the girl had been murdered by her paramour, who escaped, following the killing.
And the irony of situation is intensified when it is known that unless the police make serious efforts of their own accord, to locate the fugitive, no one else will. For every member of the girl's family would have rather seen her dead than alive.
Just because you might not know it. I'm rushing to print to inform you that the name of the Asbury Park, N.J. agent for the world's best spaniol weekly (AFRO to you) answers to the name of Arthur B. Polite. Always tryn' to please, yknow.

STARS IN W. VA. REVUE
Mrs. Bernice Hughes Martin Directs and Acts in Bluefield Show.
WHITES ATTEND
Orchestra Directed by Former Lincoln Man.
By JAMES H. MURPHY
BLUEFIELD, W.Va. — "Dixie to Broadway," a musical revue, presented by the John Stewart Dramatic Club of this city, won high favor here Tuesday night.
The revue was given at the city auditorium and there were a few white enthusiasts whose interest was great enough in drama to cause them to attend. The capable and proficient director was none other than Mrs. Bernice Hughes Martin, former resident of the city of Baltimore. Not only was she the director of the revue but also she participated in two of the scenes. Mrs. Martin is the wife of Dr. Ernest Martin, a resident dentist of Bluedell. Mrs. Martin's ability as both director and musician was consolible throughout the entire production.
Mrs. Gwendolyn Hughes Higginbotham, sister of sister of Martin, held her own with her numbers "Ole Fashion Love" and Florence Mills's famous selection "I'm a Little Blackbird." Scene one opened with a cotton fabric with a black mantle, sight and a peppy chorus singing "Steal Away" as they slowly picked cotton. The feature of this scene was the mock wedding in which Mike Giles, clever and witty preacher performed the ceremony in full twentieth century style. The last scene represented a modern Club of New York with Graham McName announcing in the person of the original Dr. Billy Goens. The entire act was an impersonation of the greater celebrities of Broadway and the screen. Features of this scene included the Edwards Collegians, directed by Hugh Taylor, former student, who doubt the most proficient and popular orchestra in the state of West Virginia.
Jimmie Moore was applauded for his singing of "Rio Rita." Earl Tucker thrilled thousands with his rendition of the famous snake hips but Reba Johnson brought the house down with her herttling. Gwendolyn Higginbotham, Miss Vernon Singford, Mrs. Bernice Martin and Miss Lucile Holt were directly responsible, for through their able and diligent efforts, the production was a great success. Lyrics were arranged by Nat Peace, orchestration by the Edward J. Berry, Bernice Martin and G. Hirganbotham, wardrobe mistress, L. H. Phillips, and scenes by Melvin Howard and Harry Holt.

LOS ANGELES, (ANP.)—Many stage and screen actors are just like the average prize fighter. Through the tolerance of a long suffering public and the philanthropy of the management things go good, usually. When such times come do they rush to a real estate office and buy a little chicken ranch, a cottage, bungalow, or a cheap lot?
No, they rush to an automobile agency, pick out the longest and highest priced car, then start figuring how to keep up the payments especially after the temporary engagement runs out. In the meantime, only a few of them invest a few dollars to supply themselves with loblobie pictures to help them get the next job, or take out a three months' subscription to a colored paper. Yet it

In the meantime, only a few of them invest a few dollars to supply themselves with labor, equipment, job, or take out a three months' subscription to a colored paper. Yet it is the colored papers that boost them and "discover" them.
One by one, the pictures made last summer here, and local actors and extras who played in them may now see themselves on the screen.
"Mamba," with its hundreds of local extras trained into German and English colonial troops, was recently shown.
"Golden Dawn," with a dancing chorus of thirty well-known local girls, is now showing and making an enviable record.
"Dixiana," R.K.O.'s great story of the New Orleans Mardi Gras, has opened at the Orpheum. In it, the Hall singers, a time under contempt, will be seen and heard full of useful advice of the old South. Bebe Daniels is the star.
"Anybody's War," at United Artists now was called "Two Black Crows" with the title "Lazy's." Nearly a hundred colored extras were used as American soldiers, with Ocean Smith in a "bott." Bert Swanson is really a famous teammate, and famous teammates split during the sliming of this very funny picture.

GEORGIA ROSE, NEGRO FILM, HAS PREVIEW
All-Talkie of Southern Migration, H a s Clarence Brooks as Star.
CHARACTERS FAMILIAR
Evelyn Preer, Roberta Hyson and Others in Cast.
LOS ANGELES, Cal.—(ANP)—A preview of the all-talking seven-reel picture "Georgia Rose," featuring Clarence Brooks with an all-star Negro cast was held at Chicago's palatial Regal Theatre on Sunday morning. The occasion was one for exhibitors and newspaper men and enjoyed better than the usual attendance.
"Georgia Rose" is a story epic of the modern Negro. It deals with the exodus of southern Negroes migrating north in an abated form and happily ends with the amalgamation of a northern and southern family. It is a pleasing and colorful story of Negro life with an agreeable blend of northern culture and southern hospitality. It is devoid of the usual racial propaganda and unravels a story beautiful in its simplicity.
Has Technical Faults
The picture itself has the usual technical defects which are akin to all motion picture productions but they in no degree spoil the appeal and effect of the film. It will rank well with the average productions of today and is by far the best effort put forth by Negro producers to date.
Clarence Brooks is the star of the picture and conducts himself with credit; there are ten characers in the movie and it is noteworthy that none of the characters have been submerged, to the detriment of the story, to permit the star to steal the picture. All of the characters are very well placed and ten characers are natural friends of everyday life. There is the minister, the farmer, the night-lifers, the modern and efficient business man, the sweet and innocent lass from the dear old, southland, the shrewd man about town and the woman of social aspirations, the film vivid and real of the modern Negro.
Unusual and excellent support has been given the star, Clarence Brooks by a brilliant cast which includes Evelyn Preer, Irene Wilson Roberta Hyson, Allegretti Anderson, Dora Dean Johnson, Edward Thompson, Spencer Williams, Webb King, and E. G. Dver.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
THE BEAUX ARTS BALL
Smartly dressed in a green yellow gremble and carrying a new yellow fleeting bag, she moved more easily than ever as she descended from the taxicab in front of Margot Yancey's studio on West Ninth Street, New York City, on the edge of Greenwich Village. The chauffeuse and two of three passersby stared in admiration as she tripped lightly up the steps of the impressive brown stone fronted house and sounded the polished brass knocker.
Verna's mind was a whirl of new impressions, a jumble of skyscrapers traffic, city noises, a newly experienced courtesey unknown to her her Southern hometown from memory her long journey from Virginia, she waited for the door to be answered, she wondered what her reception would be whether she would live in this grand house or not. how soon, before she would see Harlem, the Negro capital.

herself, arrayed in artist's smock, her fingers stained with paints.
"Why, Verna!" she exclaimed,
"come right in, child. I had no idea that you would be here so soon. Take your things right up stairs. You see at the right time; I've got a North Sea illustration and I will use it for the model."
"Oh, Miss Yancey," the dark girl replied. "I don't know that I can be a model: I never tried it."
"Nonsense! It really isn't anything. All you've got to do is sit still in the position I put you. It'll be an excellent beginning for you. Verna. I think I can get you lots of work around here with my friends and I will be paid five-five cents an hour."
Verna mumbled her thanks, and tears of gratitude stood in her eyes as she unpacked her things in the little charming bedroom to which Miss Yancey assigned on the third floor. All of her dreams seemed to be coming true. She unconsciously pinched herself to see if she were really awake.
She found the job of posing to be very simple, but exacting. For long hours she sat on a pedestal or leaned on a support while Margot Yancey sketched and painted her in various costumes and poses, and often without any costume at all. Oh, really now" the statusque Margot would draw in her nearest apprehension, "you are quite ideal, Verna." Sometimes while they were at work, a friend or two would drop in for a chat. In variably they raved when they saw Verna's exquisite figure. In a fortnight three or four artists were clamoring for her services and in five or six weeks the whole village was raving over the "find" of Margot Yancey. Verna was enjoying it, tremensely. Sometimes she posed as a tromph, sometimes as a whistle, a Gorilla or African, or intertwined her to have an ankle, use her body to a picture her it yellow and change her features and hair to that of a Japanese maiden. The mystery of the canvas and paint held her as in a thrall.
And then there were the enthusiastic comments of the artists. They liked her for the perfect specimen of humanity that she was and she
learned to appreciate her charms even more than ever before. These people, working with the most beautiful models, declared again and again that she possessed the most perfect feminine form they had ever seen, so she had to believe it.
She assumed a new, haughtier bearing and an aristocratic swing that enhanced her beauty a hundred times, quickly learned the graceful, unhurried manners of the salon, the secrets of perfect makeup, the art of color combinations, the easy but exacting etiquette of the studio. She became, in snort, a sepia edition of the graceful Margot Yancey, whose male admirers in the village were legion.
For once she felt delightfully, gloriously satisfied and at peace. She was surrounded by people of education, culture and refinement, she averaged thirty dollars a week, she had the leisure to cultivate her great natural charms and no men were pestering her to marry them. To be sure, the aristocrat, the wasters, the

critics and the students who visited the studio of Margot eyed Vernal admiringly, flattered her, occasionally danced with her and three or four times took her to lunch or dinner at the International Restaurant, Pine Den, or some other place, where she was always the center of attention; but none of the men made any overtures. Because they were in saw of her or in fear of Margot proposals she had heard from the lips of Dick Colvin, Donald Baxter, Hugh Godfrey, and Charlie Meyers.
Verna Receives a Warning
"Don't be fooled by these men," Margot warned her when she spoke of it. "There are dozens of them crazy about you right now, dear, but they are a little in awe because you are colored and they are white, and because you are under my watch, if you weren't living you'd see how quickly they would make advances. If they are not for the criticisms of society, any of these men would be forced to marry you, but the pressure in race prevents that."
"They would love to have an affair with you, but they are - afraid to touch the subject because you live with me. They'll not hold off very long, though. so I warn you to be careful. To a girl as beautiful you are, men will offer anything, and there are men rich enough to offer anything who comes to visit us." Margot smiles, wisely and protectingly, drew indulgently upon a long Russian dress and shifted her pointe on the château lounge.
Three-months after Verna's advent to Greenwich Village, the annual Beau Arts Ball was announced. The ball was always the occasion for the artists, artists' models, scenic artists, interior decorators and other people of the Bohemian set, to wear their most elaborate costumes amid the most gorgeous and exotic scenery. "Verna," drawn Margot, "you must go, by all means. You'll really be a sensation. We'll get you up as the Queen of Sheba. Fred Watkins will make the costume and Will Randoski will make the palanquin for you to be carried in. We'll get a quartet of big handsome black fellows from Harlem to bear it and dress them as Egyptian serving men. Oh, just I'll be grand."
"But," interrupted Verna, "won't there be some objection to er,—me
THE AFRO-AMERICAN
the!RRESISTIBLE by WALTER GLASTON Brilliant Negro Fiction Writer
"Wonder Slave" Mystified British with Brilliant Strategy
Ragged and Misshapen, Cudjoe, Commander of a Stalwart Tribe, Defied England's "Crack" Troops to Win Independence for His People.
ON the island of Jamaica lives a people whose history is as full of courage, daring and romance as any other heroic group in history. Theirs is but drawn on a smaller canvas, that is all.
Known as the Maroons, or hog hunters, they were wugly slaves, africans, for one hundred and forty-one years they resisted all efforts at subjugation and forced the government to make terms with them and grant them what was practically independence. In their struggle for freedom, the Maroons had a handicap that few, if any, of the great heroic groups of history, like the Spartans, the Swiss, the Scotch Highlanders, or the American Colonists, encountered. They had to capture from the enemy the weapons they fought, only willingly living in the mountains, there was no other way to obtain arms and ammunition.
feated the English in every encounter and there is good reason to believe that had he been better able to get supplies, he would have driven them from the island like another Dessalines.
Origin of the Maroons
The incidents leading up to Captain Cudjoe are briefly these: When the English took Jamaica from the Spaniards, the latter escaped to Cuba, leaving their slaves behind. These slaves fled to the high mountains and tangled forests in the interior. Here they were reinforced by the runaway slaves of the English.
All they knew of the manufacure of arms was the making of bullets, and even then they were forced to capture the lead.
Cudjoe, Uglv and Misshapen
Cudjoe Ugly and Misshapen
Of their many leaders, the greatest
was Captain Cudjoe, a who-
tquerier, taunted by the first-ear-
north into whose stumpy and unshap-
ly frame there burned the fire of almost
int haustible energy and in whose
bullet heat there resided all the quali-
ties of a great commander. He de-
at such a swell affair?"
"Nonsense!" said Margot. "No one will dare to object to my guest. Besides, Honey, this is Greenwich Village, New York City, and not the Solid South. Everybody will be delighted. There may be a few narrow-minded persons about but they don't count; besides, most of them drop their silly prejudices when they entitle this life. They have to." There was much hustle and bustle in th. artists' colony getting ready for the exhibition scheduled to the most elaborate in history. Verna was as excited as the rest. Tw. or three times she went over to Fred Watkins's studio to see the progress of her costume, or to Will Rondoski's little basement shop to watch the building of the palatial silvered palanquin.
"The Ethiopian Love Song"
Margot had said that when the time came for stunts, Verna must sing a song; so Verna began to hunt for something appropriate. Nothing trite or commonplace would do but she could find nothing else. Then, one day Margot swept into the studio with eyes agleam.
"I've got just the thing," she cried excitedly. "It's Wendell Dalton's very best piece, 'The Ethiopian Love Song.'"
"Who is Wendell Dalton?" asked Verna, wondering and curious, as Margot seated herself at the baby grand piano and began to run over the piece.
"Who is Wendell Dalton?" echoed Margot, facing her incredulously. "Why, don't you know? Say, Verna, he is the swellest, handsomest colored fellow I've ever seen; a college graduate, the very soul of culture; tall, astoristic and one of our leading composers. I'll have him down a tea sometime so you can meet him."
Between Margot Yancey, Fred Watkins and Will Rondoski, Verna certainly looked more like the Queen of Sheba than it had been possible for any masquerader to look. The brilliant assemblage gasped as the four six-foot black men in lion clothes bore the black and silver with the resplendent beauty inside, down the back of the elaborately decorated hall. As Jerna, trembling with excitement, alighted, Margot, garbed as Queen Elizabeth, took her by the hand and whispered into her ear: "My dear, you'll be in all of the newspapers tomorrow." And, indeed, it seemed that she was speaking truly, at least a half dozen photographers photographed with their heavy cameras upon the brown, beauty and the nail was soon hazy with smoke from the flashlight powder.
Verna Envied by Women
"Pick up the marbles!" exulted Fred Wattins, arranged as Francois Villon, as he held Verna at arm's length and surveyed her admirably. "You vos really von panic," cried Wristondick, who, of the evening, was King Joe. "I will blossom, Phil bionge, who frequently visited Margot's studio. That's what it is, old dear. You've made a lot of these pale ladies furious tonight, Verna." Ther, during the long intermission, when each person was required to perform one act or stunt, Verna sang in her beautiful soprano voice "The Ehloplian Love Song." The vast, crowded ballroom was hushed to the quiet of a cemetery and ever since, upon the singer, no unpleasant auditors were these. Music who knew voices and knew music: Franz Leiber, at the piano, gave an unusually sympathetic accompaniment.
The .applause was deafening and prolonged. Three times she sang the chorus before they were satisfied. Then they swarmed around her, perfectly mani-ured hands, embracing her, kissing her, raising her on willing shoulders

feated the English in every encounter and there is good reason to believe that had he been better able to get supplies, he would have driven them from the island like another Dessalines.
Origin of the Maroons
When the English took Jamaica from the Spaniards, the latter escaped to Cuba, leaving their slaves behind. These slaves fled to the high mountains and tangled forests in the interior. Here they were reinforced by the runaway slaves of the English.
A good many of these fugitives were Catholic monasteries, one of the most war-like of all peoples. Spurring the taming influence of the religion of the white man, they held to the worship of their own god, Obl. Later, the Jamaican slaveholders were forced to bar their importation.
At first they roved in bands, descending on the English settlements when they needed clothes and ammunition, plundering and killing in highlander fashion and dashing back to their mountain fastnesses, almost and parading the length and breadth of the hall.
The Verna, said Margot, enthusiastic and breathless, "I want you to meet Count Ferdinand de Raulbonne. You've sliced his heart in two, it seems."
A tall, distinguished looking man with long thin hair, slightly graying black hair, long, black, tapering eyebrows, high forehead and an enigmatic smile. He is introduced by Margot, and, taking Verna's hand, raised it to his lips.
Help from Count Raalhonne
"Ah, Mademoiselle, he sighed, "You are so, what you call him, beautiful; so exquisite; wonderful! My English, Mamelle, it is not capable of telling you how much you have impressed me. Your voice, ah, it is rich, appealing, delightful! A little training and it will be incomparable. Let me send you to a real master. It will cost you nothing, nothing! What you say"
Verna caught Margot's eye and matched her assent. She was filled to the brim, and tears of gratitude stood in her big, dark brown eyes and hung like pearls on her sweeping lashes. She could have shouted her joy. At last she was on the way to her goal.
When she finally got to bed at four in the morning, tired but happy, she could not sleep for an hour or two, but lay there thinking, planning, dreaming. Ever and anon her thoughts would dwell on the indigence of Billy Goat, Dick Colvin, Donald Baxter, Hugh Godfrey, Charlie Meyers, the coal fields and her journey to New York.
At last she fell asleep, dreaming of Success, Success, Success, the plaudits c- the multitude, of the whole world.
(To be continued next week)
before the alarm could be given.
Head Sent to Governor
Their greatest chief at this period was St. Juan de Bolaus. But after eight years of warfare, he finally made terms with the British and was given a large sum of money and much land.
The others held out, rejecting all offers. To each had been promised a sum of money and 20 acres of land. But were they not already in possession of some of the finest land of the island? Besides, they felt that the word of the slaveholder could not be trusted. Once yield and it was only a matter of time when they would be slaves again. It may be added that they had abundant cause for mistrust.
Finally St. Juan da Bolaus was induced to lead an expedition against them, but his forces were cut to pieces, and his own head sent as a present to the governor.
After this, the Maroons became more aggressive. It seemed that nothing could be done to prevent their attacks. Mixing with the slaves in the markets and other places, they would learn all the movements of the masters and the best time to strike. Descending in the dead of night, and sometimes even in daylight, on a plantation or a small town, they would fill all the white persons and faithful blacks, and after freeing the others would burn the buildings and the crops.
For more than twenty years this went on. Then an incident occurred that forced the government to make a concentrated attack on them. The slaves in one of the parishes had risen en masse and after a massacre of the white population had joined the Maroons with a great store of arms and ammunition, including four cannon.
It was as if the English were about to be pushed off the island. If the other slaves followed, nothing could save them, for they were greatly outnumbered by blacks.
Cudjoe Unites Powerful Maroons
A powerful expedition now marched into the mountains, gulded by Indians and faithful slaves and exterminated several bands of Maroons. It was then that Johnny readily listened to Cudjoe, who forthwith united all fugitive slaves of whatever origin under his command. As chief aides he had his brothers, Johnny and Accompong. They began, in the words of Dallas, an English writer of those days (History of the Maroons), "a regular and connected system of warfare and in their frequent skirmishes with the troops sent against them, acquired an art of attack and made invisible fortresses of the interior or the island which has so often folded the best exertions of disciplined bravery.
Description of the Maroons
"In their person and carriage," continues Dallas, "the Maroons were erect and lofty, indicating a consciousness of superiority. Vigor appeared upon their muscles and their motions displayed ability. Their eyes were quick, wild and fiery, the whites of them appearing a little red, owing, perhaps, to the greenness of their burned眉, to the moistness of the muscles in a superior degree. They were accustomed to discover from habit in the woods objects which white people of the best sight could not distinguish, and

their hearing was so wonderfully quick that it enabled them to elude their most active pursuers.
"In character, language and manners they resembled those Negroes on the estates of the planters that were descended from the same race of Africans, but on closer inspection displayed a striking distinction in their personal appearance, being blacker, taller, and in every respect, handsomer.
"They were seldom surprised. They communicated with one another by means of horns, and when could scarcely the face of the other people be heardinguished the order sounds conveyed. It is very remarkable that the Maroons had a particular call upon the horn for each individual by which he was summoned from a distance as easily as he would have been spoken to had he been near."
Add to this the fact that they were unerring marksmen, the lack of ammunition having made them so.
Judeo Wins Decisive Victory
With his band of mountaineers now nearly a thousand strong, Cudjoe made raid after raid into the white settlements. In fact, he was forced to do so, for as long as the English hunted him he was compelled to attack them in order to get the wherewithal to resist them. At last, in 1730, the government made a supreme effort to defeat him. Settlers were being frightened away and few could be induced to come out, all because of a comparative handful of runaway blacks, which once driven into the open, could be
shot down with ease, badly armed as they were. It began by building forts and outposts near the Maroon settlements, during which time the builders were ceaselessly harassed by Cudjoe. Indians from Central America were brought over in large numbers to track them down, and a force of nearly a thousand white and black men with Lemelia pieces under Captain Lemelia was sent against blim.
Cudjoe Outwits English
Cudjoe, who had heard all about the proposed attack from his spies among the slaves, laid plans to outwit his foes. He sent one of his most trusted men into the enemy camp with a false tale of his location. This information was so plausibly conveyed to the British commander that he never suspected the slightest treachery and gave his men the order to march into the mountains, feeling sure that he would not come upon Cudjoe until after a certain date.
But Cudjoe, instead of staying where Lemella expected to find him, came stealthily down the mountain to meet him and took up his position in a narrow pass flanked by steep precipices through which the enemy was bound to come.
Here he divided his men into four parts, and placed each at each point of the rampage overlooking the pass, down the hill, lay quietly down and waited for the British to come up.
At last the soldiers came up, dragging their cannon, and tired from the climb. Patiently Cudjoe waited un-
till they got into the narrow pass, then he signalled his men at the entrance to fire.
A hundred rifles spoke and as many soldiers fell. Now the enemy turned quickly in the direction of the shots. Again Captain Cudjoe gave another signal and again another volley struck them down in the rear. And so on, until they were being attacked from a.. sides.
The survivors scurried for shelter, but all they could see were the puffs of smoke bearing death warrants, and at last abandoning everything they fled down the mountains in utter out, leaving the majority of their companions dead or wounded.
Maroons Lean to Death
Several other expeditions sent against Cudjoe met with the same fate. But in spite of these successes, he was weakening because of his inability to get ammunition. In 1734 the English, under Captain Stoddart, led by a renegade Maroon, surprised a Maroon camp on one of the highest peaks of the island, killing nearly every one. Many of them leaped to their death from the precipices rather than surrender.
Upon this Cudjoe decided to remove his entire following, which included many women and children, to another and more populous part of the island. To cover his retreat, he posted lone sentinels at the old camp, whose duty was to discharge guns and blow horns in order to give the impression of its being still occured.
He was several months before the settlers knew that Captain Cudjoe was in their vicinity, and they were to know it in a startling manner; descending on them he made one of his biggest raids, returning heavily laden with loot.
Settlement after settlement was wiped out. One feature of Maroon warfare was its ferocity. Indeed this was characteristic of all combats between whites and blacks in the West Indies. No mercy was shown on either side and the most flemish methods o. torture were practiced. Nine years more were planted plantations o. more the government decided to make a last desperate effort to defeat the invincible black leader, and penetrate the Maroon stronghold ab all costs. Every able-hodied man on the island was ordered to assemble for the attack. But the expedition was destined not to start. At the height of the preparations it was asked who would protect the women and children if the men went on. The maican slave was to be trusted to be ready for revolt, while the faithful slave, as was said, was the especial object of Maroon hatred and ferocity.
**Offer Peace Terms to Cudjoe**
the governor, Sir Edward Trelawney, saw that there was but one way out: to ask Cudjoe to come to them Accordingly, he sent a peace mission under Colonel Gudhite to offer him his independence and a large tract of land.
Gudhite, on his part, signified his willingness, and assembling his men at a spot where, by the rolling down of rocks it would be easy to wipe out Gudhite's force, made the peace makers come on.
It is in this manner that Dallas describes the meeting:
"At this solemn junction, Colonel Gudhite advanced unimplemented with the troops through situations in which the Maroons might have greatly annoyed him even with the large force he had had under attack, however, the disposition of his troop, that the nature of the ground would permit, he marched on with confidence, and judging of

DEAR PANSY:
It's too hot really to think of any kind of social doings that mean extention. Yet, in spite of it, prominent folk are every now and then pulling off something worthwhile and enjoyable.

Along sport lines, the tennis tournament at Drudg Hill Park is the talk of the week. Everybody of course is trying for the trophy on
Among the fraternal orders, the Pythians are meeting at Grisfield, Maryland, the week coming up, the Ware Wall and the chancellor of the order, are hoping for his re-election, while friends of George F.

There's no outstanding gossip floating around. McMeen folks are at work on the own busiest place, while, but something will leak out sooner or later.

White Writer Pointing to the "Keed's" Defeat of Present Lightweight Boss, Says Cuban is Best Fighter in the Game.
"This Chocolate, a comical little minstrel Negro, still naive enough to swell about the second stratum of the social set of the Harlem in suits, shirts, and neckties to the best prizefighter, pound for pound, in the business at the present time. If he were a heavyweight, neither Sharkey nor Schmeling would lay a glove on him and he would have Carrera and Campo diving through the impetus of their misspent luners.
"Singer bars him because he is a featherweight, a strange objection considering he protects the lighter men; but then Singer is not to be reproached for anything that happens during regime change in the champion. That is a sensitive campon.

"Singer has improved shoe then, no more, and in a return fight, if Singer's directors would accept a return fight and the boys would wave all their hands, the lightweight championship without ever having held the featherweight title.
This article may disclose a faint hint to the prize fighting industry, but, as I suggest, the records of many prominent managers and submanagers nowadays discuss terms of criminal suicide, and one can go far wrong very often. And the fact remains that Kid Chocolate, a featherweight, can lick Al Singer, the lightweight champion of the world."

Few Negroes Now Play Golf, Physical Educator Asserts
Writer Estimates that About 1,000 Now Engag ein the Game. More Urged to Take Part. Sport Now Required in College
Over three million men and women (white) in America are playing golf. About a thousand Negroes might be said to play the game.
Great arms have been turned into courses. Three of the last five presidents turned aside from the great business of the nation to indulge regularly at golf.
Golf is an excellent game for the soul. John Knox, the famous preacher of Edinburgh, knocked the good fortune by playing gold on Sunday following divine services back in the 16th century.
Should Get In Open
Colored men and women should go in for golf. Segregation has forced the Negro to live closer together and to mill about within the congested limits of his restricted environment for most of his enjoyment. Old time education was satisfied to teach books to children. Ability to live and make adjustments was solidm thought of in teaching except as some mentally gifted pupils were urged to follow in the academic footsteps of a self-elated tutor. In many of the schools and colleges of today the materials of play are taught and the spirit of play is encouraged. In the past, the gladiatorial aspect of the big team games dominated the game field. Only mollcoddies, and sometimes a good man, engaged in volleyball, ball, handball or golf, were played at Annapolis and West Point. Everybody is urged to go in for bowling, fencing, swimming and the above mentioned games.
Urbannity Increasing
Increasing urbanity of the population is adding to the need for more excursions to the open fields. Golf is an outdoor game. Sunlight, ash air and a form of exercise that favor health are benefits to the golfer. For those who want to reduce, here is one way. But chiefest of its values are the spiritual and social values. Unlike the confining recreation of a night of cards, the companionship of the links in a two or three mile jaunt from green to green with good comrades makes for a broader, happier life. One reason our older college men and women do not play today is because the philosophy of much of their day was near and associated that was considered detriment to the soul's good. This poppy-cork and morality of the middle ages is hard to

down. Again, the older day college athlete worked, fought and died for Howard. It helped make him what he is—those who played—probably, but he too frequently lost his sense of play because he remained a dub at the lesser forms of sport.
Miniature Golf Grows
The pee-wee or putting golf courses are all right. They are better for the people than unhygienic pool rooms in hot weather. Maybe gambling is less because the game is in the open, for example, also enjoy the miniature form of golf. The game can be played in limited space.
However, the city Negro in segregated cities needs to help our sports writers and newspapers to increase their playfield from the municipally provided funds. A good golf outfit costs less than ten dollars. Its returns in嬉皮屋 suit are far greater than that be secured a bridge or any indoor sport.

"An answer was returned declaring that the Macroons wished the same and requesting that the troops must be kept back. This request be dictated apparently by suspicion Colonel Guthrie proposed to them to show the confidence he had in their sincerity by sending a person to them to assure them that the white people sincerely inscribe on their part to inform them of the particulars relative to that freedom and security" at the governor had proposed to them.
The Peace Mission
"This being readily consented to, I Russell was selected for that purpose. He advanced very confidently towards their huts near which he was met by two Maroons, who informed of the purpose of his message and asked him that was Gudjie, they called out in the Coromant language to their people, with several bodies of them, who were before invisible, appeared on the rocks above. Being within reach of the voice, Dr. Russell addressed himself to them and begged particularly to have a conversation with Cudjie of whom he spoke in high terms, saying that he with them, he tell sure that as a brave and good man he would come down and show a disposition to live in friendship with the people.
"Several Maroons now descended and among them it was not difficult to discover the chief himself. Gudjoe was rather a short man, uncommonly stout, with very strong African features and a peculiar wildness in his manners. He had a very large lump of test upon his back which was partly covered by the tattered mains of an old blue coat of which the skirts and the sleeves below the elbow were wanting.
"Around his head was tied a scanty piece of white cloth as very dirty that its original color might have been doubled. He wore no shirt, and his clothes such, as they were, as with the part of his skin that was covered, were covered with the red dirt resembling cire. He had on a pau, of loose drawers that did not reach to his knees and a small round hat with the rims pared so close to the crown that it might have been tanned. calabash.
Exchange Hats as Token of Friendship
"Such was the chief, and his men were as ragged and as dirty as himself; all were armed with guns and cutlasses. Cudjoe constantly cast his eyes toward the troops under Colonel Guthrie.

men of the island, who should witnes the oath he would solemnly make to them of peace on his part with liberty and security to the Maroons on their acceding to it. "And so peace was made. Cudjoe and his family were of land, free from all taxes 'forgiver' and given permission to hunt anywhere on the island, except within three miles of a white settlement.
Today, nearly 200 years later, the
today's world is free and
free, and indulgent on the land.
Other Maroons Win Freedom
There were other Maroons. At the eastern end of the island was a grounknown as the Windward, who, under their chief, Quao, had been causing terror. . . expedition was sent against him, but Chief Quao proved himself a master of strategy and inflicted a crushing defeat on the British. Advancing to meet the enemy Quao built temporary huts, set pots abolling in the yards, scattered provisions and articles of clothing in the paths leading to the woods, and then hid his men in the surrounding woods. As the soldiers were approaching the huts were set on fire. All gave the appearance of a hurried flight, and the men sure of a hurried distress off into the woods. Not finding the enemy they were returning, laughing and with broken ranks, to make camp for the night, when the hidden Maroons poured a withering fire into them. Shot down on all sides b, an unseen enemy they fired. Later Sir Edward Tolkeway made a similar treaty with them.
One Group Treacherously Deported
Many years later, another group of Maroons revolted but were induced to make peace. They were then treacheryfully surrounded and deported to Nova Scotia and later to West Africa, where their descendants still live.
Perhaps no one was more indignant at the th. proceeding than the British commander who had fought against them, General Walpole. Walpole, when presented with a golden sword by the legislature for his services, bluntly refused it, and went off to enlightenment to protest. There were Maroons, declaring that they were in every way the equal of white troops in courage and resourcefulness.
Mentlion might also be made of the M.Rooms of Dutch Guiana, who won their freedom after a struggle of great fervency and cruelty, in which thousands of lives were lost. The Dutch government was finally forced to give them a hundred square miles of land on which they still live under their own government. In 1899, because of alleged grievances, they threatened to descend on Paramaribo, the capital of Surinam and burn it to the ground, on which the government yielded.
Captain Cudjoe and his men have had an important effect on present-day Jamaica. The "island" is today Negro - it is called "the black men's paradise." They are responsible for this; they frightened away white settlers at a time when it was easiest for them to get a foothold.
Somalia with its equitable climate, high mountains, and easy conditions of living, is especially fitted for Europeans, and but for the Maraons its might have been preponderantly high or near-white, like that of Cuba.

HearMeTalkin'toYa
THOSE brave souls who write mournfully of the death of baseball are misleading (myself included) if they do not qualify their statements by giving a true picture of the present situation. The statement is misleading. Baseball is NOT dying. That type of baseball played by some semi-pro and pro nines, is dying, but the sport among the youngsters and amateurs never was more and kicking. If you think that baseball is an amateur, take Saturday and Sunday, and make a tour of the vacant lots around town, or mosey out through the suburban sections of a Sabbath. Or better still, make your tour almost any day between the hours of five and eight peepm.
Around this city, particularly, there are more youngsters playing baseball than ever before. Your eyes will tell you this. Instead of being the fans of today they are being the players of today, getting more kick out of doing than of watching others do. Youngsters, ranging from children to are learning what called baseball is all about, and in the semi-pro division I am inclined to believe that Ballmore will not suffer by comparison with other cities. The expense attached to trips to cities and towns farther away than Washington, however, makes it a risky thing to schedule games often with out-of-state nines and with many state nines, but there is developing an intercity rivalry that seems to have symptoms of a healthy development. Right here in the city, with the Silver Moons, Senators, Ebencenter Royals, Locke Giants and others being touted as the "Best" there seems to be an excellent opportunity to sell some old games at the sumptuously to bolster the treasures of the group clubs.
It seems that there will be several Sundays that Maryland Park (Black Sox to you) will be vacant. Last Sunday the Ebenezer Royals secured the park for a game with an out-of-town nine and the Silver Moons have had the use of the diamond once this season. If the managers of these clubs are wide awake they can arrange a series that will at least give some sort of answer to the query, "Which is the best team in Baltimore?" With the matter of a city champion settled in such manner, supporters of these teams can look to broaden their horizon. And while all of the local nines cannot engage in such an elimination it seems that the conceded leaders might well stop their beating and come to taw. What say you, managers?
James Crow, Esq.
Quite some distance above the Mason-Dixon line, Roger Grant, Grand Rapids. Michigan tennis star, finds that the soil is just as fertile for the growth of Jim Crowism. Barred last year from play in the Western Michigan Lawn Tennis Association city tournament, Grant, sending in his entry this year, finds himself again rejected with no explanation offered. Commenting on the discrimination, Heline Martin, white, of the Grand Rapids Herald, says:
"Grand Rapids should have no room for a body of men who are so prejudiced as to bar certain players from an open tournament that is supposed to bring out an undisputed city champion. We were not attempting a back any certain person, race, creed or color, but we would like to see justice done, especially in a game like tennis, that is supposedly strictly above
"The Western Michigan Lawn Tennis Association has absolutely no excuse for barring Roger Grant from its city tournament, as Roger is one of the finest colored chaps that could be found anywhere. He is a mild-manner, clean-minded boy who loves the game of tennis, especially tournament competition. He knows how to conduct himself at all times and every fan knows what to do in him in this which finds him anxious and willing to compete against the best players in the city, only to be bearded by a certain small group of men who do not think it quite proper for a colored boy to stand on the opposite side of a net from a white chap.
"It is well that the big universities and colleges of America do not carry such ideas, otherwise the world would never have heard of Eddie Tolan and DeHart Hubbard to get along with each other, hundreds of other brilliant athletes in football, basketball and track and the followers of the various schools are pleased to root for their representatives, regardless of whether they're black or white. The colored boys are good enough to represent any of the big universities of the country, yet the Western Michigan Lawn Tennis Association thinks it is too big to allow a colored boy to compete in its tournaments."
So, you see, the Gold Star Mothers aren't the only ones.
The Baltimore Health Week Marathon, run last April, expended a total of $447.8, exclusive of cups, and had total receipts of $49, leaving a balance of $42.22, which. If you know anything about running marathon races, is something of an achievement . . . salute T. I. Brown, Ph.D.
Those few lines written some time ago about Julius James, the Vocational school youngster, who has rassling aspirations, have drawn inquiries from Edgar Ireland, 432 Orchard Street, Baltimore, and from Felton A. Gibson, who at present is located at Center Harbor, New Hampshire. Both young men are interested in the art and science of wrestling and hope to get in touch with young James are long. Gibson, by the way (no relation) is a student of Hampton Institute.
Rap Dixon, former Black Sox outer gardener, celebrated his joining the Chicago American Giants in the following manner: Playing his first game against the Kansas City Monarchs; at Kansas City, Sir Rap tripped in the first lining with two men on, later scoring, himself. In the fourth lining he singled with two men on and in the sixth hit a home run with two men on. Wotta man, wotta man!
Edward, the Tolan, who now is the holder of two world's sprint records, is scheduled to show his wares at Soldiers' Field. Chicago, on August 27, when a team representing the United States hooks up with representatives of the British Empire. Simpson, Bracey, Wykoff, Leland and Toppino, all white, are also expected on hand. Here's hoping Eddie wins.
The fistic world stopped, looked and listened over the week-end at three pronouncements.
Al Singer, through his manager, has informed the world that he'll fight anybody but Kid Chocolate, because he's afraid the Keed'll beatle out of him. No. Al didn't use just those words, but he said that he thought he should give Chocolate another year to put on more weight, so that he will be a real lightweight and not a featherweight. Featherweights, it seems, have a way of beating lightweights, and Singer has a good memory of his one fight with the Cuban Kid.
Item No. 2 informs that Al Brown, the bantam champ, will have a non-title scrap with Dominick Bernasconi, Italian champion, at Ebbets Field, Wednesday night. And after a spell of idleness, I don't guess Al regrets it. This pillar tabs Brown, and hopes that the Fathers of Swat will give him some more select opponents in future bouts.
Don't start cheering too quickly about Item No. 3. Primo Carrera and his manager have been ordered to leave the United States by Washington immigration officials after boxing commissions refused to act. But knowing the tactics of the Italian's handlers it would not surprise me to see him sojourning here indefinitely.
Dick Hudlin won the St. Louis open tennis tournament the other day and Eyre Slatch satched the New England title by default, I'm told. Out on the coast Jimmy Stocks has bagged another title and Ted Thompson is on his way to war at Petersburg, Virginia, where he defends his southeastern title. In view of the coming nationals, one can well agree with the Camel cigarette advertisement, which you should know by this time.
Sam Taylor takes over the reins as athletic director at Prairie View College, Prairie View, Texas, in the fall. Judging from his past performances Tham should turn out something worthwhile in the Lone Star state, for they do say that there is plenty of material there.
Would some of those zealous souls who are so anxious to have sports editors print advance stories be kind enough to send in reports after said events are over? Thanx.
The Morning Mail.
DEAR SIR: Because the Black Sox have lost some of their brightest stars I see no reason why the fans should do a lot of crying. When we had one of the best teams that ever played before the fans did not turn out.
I would like someone to tell me why and also to tell me why a team like the Lincoln Giants did not come until the Black Sox sats had gone. I also want to give Manager Warfield credit for the coming stars that he has gathered, particular-
ly that young pitcher Gay, who with a little more experience, will feel more batsmen.
It surprised me to see a rookie hitter come up and deliver when our old boys could not hit the ball themselves. These youngsters should be encouraged and not knocked when they make an error, for with them the Sox will have a strong team

Giants Take Advantage of Misplays to Hand Darby Nine a Drubbing.
COX YIELDS FOUR HITS
Daisies Defeat S. Orange by
3-1 Score.
PHILADELPHIA—Behind alight
pitching of Rabe Cox, the Lincoln
Giants handed the Hilliard club
a goal of kakosmie to the tune of 3 to 0.
While Lefcy Cox permitted only
four safe blows by the home crew, Oscar,
the clever Cuban hurler yielded
but five hits to the slugging Gotham-
ers and virtually had his game hand-
ed away on a platter, by his wabbling
supporting cast. Five glaring errors
at critical stages of the game erased
whatever chance Oscar had of turn-
Cox Wild
While Cox was very stingy with his hits he was wild and walked eight Daisies and Phil Cockrell's crew had a 11 men stranded on the bag. Two men stranded by the visitors in the first frame virtually sewed up the contest.

DEFEAT WHITE NINE
ORANGE, N.J.-Hilldale won a well- played contest from South Orange white, 3-1, when the Daisies sprang a seventh innings rally that no team had contested pitcher's battle between Jess Hubbard and Bill Sedgwick of the home team.

frames Hilldale broke the ice in the
seventh. After Hubbard filled out to

singled and Burgin's long double

Big George Wants to Clear Name by Staging Return Bout with Ambling Alp.
SUES PA. COMMISH
Files suit for $5,000 withheld
After Carnera Fight.
OMAHA, Neb. — Primo Carrera,
the Italian boxer, and his
mike Leon Ses, were, on
this week by Washington immig-
ration officials to vacate American
shores. It is understood that
under the alien agreement the
mike had the pair had expired some time ago.
PHILADELPHIA — (Special).
George Godrege "went to work" last
week. The Philadelphia heavyweight
championship contender has finally
bestirred himself in an effort to be
crowned. He had been book-
ed against his name is a result of his
recent fight with Primo Carrera, the
Italian giant.
Godfrey insists that the alleged foul, if committed, "was wholly accidental, unintentional and unavoidable." In furtherance of this claim, Godfrey's lawyer, Raymond Face, filed a motion for Perna. Boxing Commission for the return of the $5000 which is being held by them as a forfeit in punishment to Godfrey. The complaint in the suit states "this money ($5000) is justly due and owing to George Godfrey and is being illegally held by the Pennsylvania Boxing Commission without proper reason or authority."
Wants Return Bout
Godfrey also seeks a return bout with Carnera. After a conference with his manager, James F. Daugherty, Mr. Alexander addressed an open letter to the Hon. Frank Weiner, Chairman of the Boxing Commission in which formal denial of any deliberate intent to foul Carnera is made.
On behalf of Godfrey, his lawyer expresses sincere regret over the unfortunate occurrence and asks Godfrey to provide opportunity to redeem himself in the eyes of the world, for the good of the Boxing game in general. The letter cites the generally fine treatment of the Negro blood and tells the fighters of the Negro blood and tells of the keen disappointment of the Negro public in Godfrey's failure to make good.
Will Fight for Nothing
Godfrey's challenge is an offer to fight Carrera a 10-round Bout to a decision—Godfrey to fight without any compensation whatever save the guarantee of his bare training expense. Godfrey will be what characterizes the Boxing Commission selects, the only condition being that the two colored hospitals, Mercy and Douglass, be included in the distribution. The open letter was sent to all the local (white) newspapers and is causing much comment. Mr. Alexander stated that he has conferred with Taylor and Gunnis. Promoters, and they are willing to stage a bout to prove that he needs to form a committee to finance the bout if the commission honors Godfrey's challenge.

DARBY, Pa. — The Darby Phantoms defeated Colwyn, 6-5, but lost to the St. James nine. 8-9 in the Interurban League last week, the loss putting the Spooks in second place.
The Phantoms were leading against St. James until the fifth inning when George Delp, former Penn State athlete, cashed in on one of Tubby Bound's fast ones with three of his teammates with the bolt in any game, but due to a lucky rebound of the ball which hit the left fence the burly churchman was held to a lone three-bagger. Young's single in the last inning gave St. James the winning back in second place.
It has been reported that the Baltimore Black Sox have been requested to release the team by Bay City before the close of the Inter-urban League season and also that Hildale has been notified for the release of Mitchell, pitcher, as both men could consider withdraw from the Phantoms and avoid the possibilities of a play-off.

For Spots on Rug
Spots and stains can be removed from rusks and carcasses as from other textiles of similar material and color except that the process is more tedious because the fabric is heavy and sometimes clumsy to handle. All stains are of course, easier to remove while fresh. Grease stains into which dust has settled are perhaps the most common. Sometimes a piece of scorched off with a dull knife and the rest scrubbed off with a soft brush and warm soapsups, or absorbed by one or more applications of fuller's earth, or by a solvent such as carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, or benzol may be used; the latter two are very inflammable and must not be used in the same room with an open fire or flame of any kind. A freshly spilled spill should not be poured into the carpet or rut, because this tends to drive it into the fibre. If possible, it should be covered at once with corn meal, talcum powder, blotting paper nano paper or other absorbent material which will take it up and prevent its spreading.
WHEN BOILING EGGS
If while boiling eggs they become cracked, add a teaspoonful of salt to the water. The salt will close the cracks in the eggshells.
SPARKLING GLASS
To make cut glass sparkle, dip a small brush in lemon juice and scrub the glass with it.
QUICK BOOTBEER
When making root beer for the family, it is ready for use more quickly, and has a longer shelf life if a risin is placed in each bottle to hasten the fermentation process.
DULL NICKEL
If the nickel on the stove has become rusty or dull, rub it with a piece of cemery cloth. The top of the range can be kept bright the same way.
CEMENT FOR PIPE JOINTS
Mix ten pounds of yellow oater,
four pounds of white oater, whiting, one-half pound
of hemp, cut up fine. Mix together
with water to about the consistency
of poultice.
Remove those Stains
To remove stains from kitchen sinks and bathtubs use equal parts baking soda and chloride of lime. Make into thin paste by using water and apply to stains, allowing it to remain for a few minutes. Use a scrub brush and not come in contact with the paste. This will remove most stubborn stains.
To Clean Paints
The best cleaning preparation for painted woodwork is vinegar. It does not hurt the paint, as most cleaning preparations do, and the vinegar leaves a
REMOVES RUSTY SCREWS
Heat a poker or spike red-hot and apply it to the head of a screw that is rusty and obstinate. When the screw has become hot it can be removed very easily.
TO SEPARATE TUMBLERS
When one glass tumbler has become stuck in another, pour cold water in the upper part of it, cool it, and then pour the lower one in warm water to expand it. They can then be easily separated.
TO SKIN BEETS
The skins may be readily removed from beets by placing them in water and then removing them of the water and immediately fill the vessel with cold water.
FOR SHINY GARMENTS
Shiny parts of a garment should be sponged with a solution of one teaspoonful of ammonia to one quart of water. Then press on the wrong side
Stuffed Egg Plant
1 egg plant, 2 hard cooked eggs, 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, 1/2 cup grated cheese.
Parblio the egg plant in slightly salted water for 20 minutes. Remove from stove and cool long enough to make it easy to heat the egg. The egg should lengthwise. Scoop out the fleshy part. Put through the food chopper. Mix the chopped egg plant with the minced hard boiled egg butter, salt and pepper. Fill the hollow sheets with the mixture. Bake a moderate amount of the cheese P) in a pot filled with full of hot water for thirty minutes. Ten minutes before removing from the oven, sprinkle the grated cheese over the top.
Full of That Good Old-Time Taste
God Comes to Shields Alley.
If of a Sunday afternoon you s.ould scroll through Shields Alley, which I'll confess is not the most inviting place to stroll, you will, in all probability, turn into a disciple of the Lord God calling callers to repentence out in the cobble-stoned street.
Upon closer observation you will find this martyr to the cause of righteousness to be a rather frazzled old fellow with a shock of steel grey hair that stands out over his wrinkled head something on the ode of a porcupine minus some of the stiffness.
controlling from it, and equally stiff bristles which saves his laundry bill by virtue of the fact that it is not necessary for him to wear a collar. He wears a swaistle. He was once black, but now a midweded green from age; and his trousers, although a bit loose and flabby, have taken the contour of his bowed legs from feet to ankles. A black hat of the ten-gallon variety and a cane shaped as though it too was bowing under its years, complete his antiquated regalia. From a large Bible, loose of leaf dog-ear, he expounded the gospel:
Satan Takes a Holiday.
This queer follower of the Lamb is none other than the good Elder George Washington Arnte. advocate of the Apostolic Faith of the Saints of God.
Of a Sunday afternoon, in Shields Alley, the bolsterous hullabaloo that starts right after pay day Saturday night and lasts until everybody is either dead drunk or mortally wounded will suddenly cease.
The masterful profanity issuing from the mouths of male and female alike, that would make a hard-boiled seafaring man blush for shame, is suddenly hushed.
The clinking sound of glasses and bottles and gurgling of corn, gin, and peach brandly is halted for a minute.
The disappointed lover, sharpening his razor on the bottom of his shoe, smiling all the while in pleasant anticipation of the look of angulish on the face of his rival when the cold steel edge is drawn across his abdomen, steps and listens.
The girl' just below, busily engaged in mixing a concoction of concentrated lye which she hopes to use to make her hair shine, stole the love of her working-man, common-law mate, and forever render her immune from the attentions of men, mpauses in her manners, and encased in stocking caps saliny with grease, protrude from the often paneless windows of the crowded tenements, Men, shirttles, with 'burntion' shirts, and shaken carpet slippers, issue out upon the tam-shackle stoops, their women, clad for comfort only, following the newly-formed, by over-indulgence in alley champagne.
The good Elder Arte is calling simmers to turn from the natter of the godly, Founding his dilapidated book of the Scriptures he cries out, loudly and sonorously, like the voice cyrin in the wilderness: "Hear Brother Arte who brings a man to death and de-
The elder rages. Up and down he prances over the cobble stones as fast as his weak and wobbly leans can. Amel Amen! Amen! someone hiccups encouragement. When the listeners show signs of restlessness and display a heartless light in more scintillating spirits than the elder is dispensing, he cuts short his sermon and begins to pass the hat. Grogky-eved trail hitters drop coins in the receptacle of the carrier of the Word passes on.
How Old is Elder Arnte?
Perhaps you'll think me mean for talking about this grizzled old preacher in such an unbecoming way. To criticize an humble carrier of the Word into the by-ways and hedges may seem to you a bit of sacrilege. These words, you might believe, will rise up against me on the Day of Judgment and consign me to the way of the goats instead of that of the sheep who are supposed to enjoy the rewards of eternal buss, nevertheless I suit think that Eier Arnie is an old rascal.
There are certain things about the Rev. Arnie that it is just my stann. First, he claims to be 108 years of age. Now you know, and I know, that persons who pass the century mark are not as active as young lewows around 60 or say 70. The Eier Arnie looks and acts like a man about 60 or 70 and I think his age as no advertises it is his racket.
I say this because the older Arister was supposed lonely when I first met him three years ago. He seems to anger there in spite of passing years. His reason, I think, is that even suspicious people like myself can a man being but, I think, he should be up three birthdays he could just as easily have added on 20 or 30 for business reasons.
Can Habits be Broken?
Another argument against Elder Arnite is that he almost boasts of the fact that for 45 or 50 years of his life he was a card sharper. With it try to discredit the reforming powers of the Holy Ghost, it is hard for me to believe that a naut of nair a century can be eradicated from the countryside to the contrary, the good discourse is one nothing but praise for the hopeless task he has taken upon nuns. He is coming, in recent years in shields Arnite in recent years. His sales have taken off considerably, that is, if there ever was a great demand for the product, he has done in this. Elder Arnite may yet redeem himself by redeeming Shields Alley.
My Debt to Shields Alley.
My own religion, which is a lazy sort of faith that doesn't hurt itself by working overtime, came direct from Shields Alley.
Years ago when I was just a cub reporter (a journalistic stage from which I am not yet completely removed) I saw my first murder down in Shields Alley. A man chopped me, cut me in half, and we cut what was leaf of her under the sink.
Sometime later I saw them hang this fellow on my right rigid trap downward through the trap and twisted and squirmed in agony. I became converted. Of course, I still indulge in a few minor sins, but sword from my hand anybody—at least, not with a meat cleaver.

Should a Woman Marry a Cold Man?
Julia Jerome
A woman of New York City asks us a pertinent question this week.
My dear Mrs. Jerome:
I am thirty years old and engaged to be married to a man in Detroit. Un to three months ago
aged to be married to a man in Detroit. Un to three months ago considered myself very tortunate to have a man like Jim wanting to marry me. Jim is a lawyer and sell off. and I am a working girl. I have been working since I was fifteen, and I thought I was very tired of it and ready to have a good man take care of me.
But three months ago I changed jobs and at my new job I have rapidly gained promotion. My new boss seems very interested in me and it thrills me just to have 'him look at me.' Jim is the cold athletic type of man and his kisses are like a brother's. Last night Jim phoned me and wanted me to come at once and marry him. It appalls me to think of trying myself to him forever, and vet. What do you think?
NEARLY MARRIED
I do not advise you to go. Marriage to be successful, must have a physical as well as a spiritual side. If Jim does not help you now, he probably never will.
Whereas, a husband can train a wife in the art of love, a wife cannot train a husband. His masculine egotism gets in the way. A man must be charismatic and devout to woman and resents any inference that he doesn't.
I believe that you were only considering marriage for economic reasons, and that now with a better job and other prospects of love ahead, reasons left to make you take this step.
Write and tell Jim how you feel and break off with him at once. It isn't fair to keep him dangling. This will be hard to ask, task, and you will be relieved afterwards, and I believe, be happier.

Tea on the front porch is one of the most pleasant affairs for warm weather. Coffee or afternoon cullers drop in for a casual drink if the day is cool, serve the cup of tea in the living room. Preparations for this sort of afternoon tea are easy. Wise is the housekeeper whose Anstry shelves are always ready for just such a situation. Small cookies, fancy pastries, and cakes are lots and stored in the coooky jar where they are always ready. Candied orange or lemon peel is delightful and may also be kept for a long time. The cinnamon complete the list of necessities.
Easily Made Sandwiches
Easily Made Sandwiches
If you have a little money more for tea, dainty little sandwiches may be made from commodities on the shelf. Marmalade on white bread, peanut butter on whole wheat bread, cream cheese on brown bread and many other ingredients, puff pastry but inexpensively prepared. They offer a pleasant variation from the cookies and may be easily served when one knows guests are coming. The sandwiches are prepared for service, wrapped in waxed paper and then baked in an oven to keep the bread fresh and moist. A good looking tea set also adds to the attractiveness of the tea table. Pretty sets are available at moderate prices. Or. If you have no tea set, you can add a tea pot or an added tea pot. The breakfast size or large salad plate is preferred. It is usually much easier to serve the tea when the cup is placed on the plate. The cookies or sandwiches are also put on this plate and anyone can enjoy the tea without feeling the need of a table.
Tea Cart is Convenient
Another convenient piece of equipment is the tea cart. A sturdy one with good dependable legs is more desirable than the ornate handle. It allows the slightest provocation. A few shelves below the table top also add to the usefulness. Silver spoons and dainty knives complete the picture. There is no need to hurry to put some things together. The hostess can load her car with the necessary service, tea and cookies, and then bring the car to the dining room necessary. She may then sit at the tea wagon and pour the tea for the guests as nonchalant as though she was not tired. And she does not look tired and worn because all that had to be done was to boil some water and make the tea. While the water is heated, the tea pot would be added to and tea is ready "as soon as the water boils."

2. Should a gentleman rise when a lady enters the room?

FOOD AUTHORITIES SAY
THAT THIS NEW FOOD
PRODUCT IS TASTY
By NANCY LYNDON
For thousands of years, the Chinese have been enjoying this tasty nut-like product and have said little about it. American food experts recommend it both for a food and for a new plant product that can be cultivated almost anywhere within the soil. It seems that the ju jube is also a hardy food plant. One scientist who has experimented with it says that "it stands more neglect that any other of the Oriental fruits and seems to thrive in doyards in which the sol. is packed down until almost as hard as bricks." The Far Eastern people have developed that served born for food and for other practical purposes. The ju jube is one of them. It grows to tree-like proportions, makes a good trimmed hedge, and produces a fruit that can be made into excellent confections.
This rounded fruit is prepared by scoring or puncturing and cooking it in a syrup. The scoring is done either with knives or punches. This is in order to permit the syrup to seep in. The fruit can be handled thus either fresh or dried. The truss fruit has a milder taste but the people of the Orient are not particular, eating it in either form as convenient. When dried, the juices keep well. Uncle Sam says of this fruit, that the American people will come to appreciate it when they have been told about it. "The immediate future of the ju jules will be a useful squeeze fruit that is useful, every time orchard, thus contributing to the variety of fruits by adding one that is highly nutritious, delicately flavored, and an abundant and sure producer." Housewives always on the alert for the new, will probably soon be telling us to go to the store and buy the rightly labeled brand of the new ju jules.

Baked Halibut en Casserole
1½ pound halibut in slices, 2 cups white sauce, ½ cup bread crumbs, 3 tablespoons butter, melted, ½ cup grated cheese.
Wash fish. Sprinkle slices with salt and let stand several hours. Cook in boiling water to which a few slices of onion, celery, and carrot have been added. Simmer until the flesh is tender. Remove from fire. The stock may be strained and used for white sauce in place of the milk. Separate the fish into small pieces. Place fish in casserole or baking dish, Cover with sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix bread crumbs with butter and cheese, and cover fish. Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees F.) until crumbs are brown and cheese melts.
Tomato and Celery Salad
6 tomatoes. 2 cups diced celery, 1 cup mayonnaise, lettuce.
Select firm, good sized tomatoes. Scald, peel and then chill. Cut a slice from the top of each. Scrape out the inside, taking care not to break the sides. Dice celery and mix with mahnauze. Place the tomato sheets on a plate. Place the tomato sheets on a nest of lettuce leaves on individual plates. A spoonful of mahnauze may be put on top of the tomato.
Precautions: In the preparation of delicate fish such as hallibut, care must be taken not to overcook. Cook until fish is tender. Cook again. It is impossible to give the time required for boiling since this depends upon the thickness of the slice. Therefore, one must wash the fish twice, or in minutes, another thing, to watch in the

NEGRO A SCAPEGOAT
IN TEXAS MURDER
White Husband Had Threatened Life of His Own Wife, Citizens Say.
By J. CINCINNATUS WHITE of the Black Dispatch OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.-That Jesse Lee Washington, 27, charged with beating to death and assailing the wife of Henry Vaughn, white, is being used as a scapegoat, is the belief of prominent citizens here. Washington, who was employed on the Vaughn farm, is being held in Granite prison. Investigation has brought out the wife of the separated and that the husband is alleged to have threatened the life of his wife.
Used as Excuse by Mob
Mrs. Vaughn was found beaten to death in her home at Shamrock, near Bristol, and barely escaped being lynched by a mob which formed immediately. She was arrested as an ex-crime by the mob to drive every Negro out of Erick, Oklah. just across the state line, where Mrs. Vaughn had been. From this little town and the surrounding farm community the mob had taken over all of them time to gather sufficient food to keep them alive for any time. They lifted their crops and other beers.
CONGRESSMAN RAPS
WAR DEPARTMENT
Treatment of Gold Star Mothers Disgraceful, Says Democratic Representative.
BOSTON, Mass.—A severe attack on the War department for its segregation of race Gold Star Mothers on their pilgrimage to the graves of their sons in the war in the war cemeteries of France, was made Saturday night by Congressman W. J. McCormack, white of South Boston. The denunciation was made during his address to the installation address of the State Department of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Ladies' Auxiliary, at the Elks' Hotel.
Called Disgraceful
The Democratic Congressman said: "The treatment of the colored Gold Star Mothers and widows going home and husbands in France was not only discriminatory, but disgraceful. He also said that there was no question that the same women and husbands of these same women were transported access to enter the front line trenches. The War Department," he said, "and the number of reasons or excuses as to why they segregate Gold Star Mothers and widows, yet they deny that they have segregated them, but such an argument falls on them."
Republican Administration
"The latest reason advanced by the War Department, which means that certain steamship lines would not transport the colored Gold Star Mothers and widows. It is a fact that when they bewitched this situation to exist, particularly when some of the steamship lines have borrowed many dollars from the federal government. "I feel that the government violates the spirit of the Constitution when permit discrimination, as it has in case."
The South Boston Congressman said that even though the War Department staff was in similar, similar accommodations, the colored Gold Star Mothers are forced to go across on a freighter-passenger ship. He also said that he believed the colored man could ever vote for any Republican candidate in the future.
Murderer Wanted Here
What will be remembered as one of the most brutal crimes in this country, double murder committed by David Dunnun alia D avid Dunnun, alias 'Dusty' Bottorow at 4 a.m. four weeks ago. He succeeded in making his case and is still at large. The AFO tailhand helping the authorities to locate him any information regarding his whereabouts will be sent to the AFO.

This seems to be the opinion of M. Maurice Rudout-D Saint, cre of the leading French journalists.
In a long article in La Dépense Colombain and the Blacks, he deals with the treatment of Negroes in the Northern States, the South, Panama.
"The United States," he says, "appears to me. judging from my recent trip to America, about the hand I had with the great banana plantations, but in Haiti, which is a country of the blacks. things have not been managed so tactfully. The heavy hand has been on Haiti without demission.

"I remember," he said, "one day on the Panama Railroad, how visibly shocked a gentleman was when he was on a bench, which was marked; for Colored Patrons Only, and how coming to me he pointed out my error.
"Is 'Monstrous'"
All in all the treatment of the Nero in America appears "monstrous" to M. Ronget-Saint. The North Americans have changed much since the days of slavery, and recently regarding Nenroos has not chained.
"One still finds the imprint of slaves who serve you in hotels, sleeping-cars, steamships. They have inherited the treatment that was their reason for serving to the rest in a society that is marching in the full moonday of progress."

WASHINGTON, D. C. — The United States War Department, which is now engaged in the peaceful pastime of sending Gold Star Mothers to the graves of their sons in France in Jim Crow contingents, does not know what the howling is all about and is apparently quite oblivious of it.
From Acting Secretary of the War Payne down through the department, the generals, majors and colonels and others who had a finger in the mother pie, are enthusiastic over the pilgrimage, and can't understand why a more different kind of gas for mothers should cause, such a national furlor.

Moore Straddles Fence
Alderman Fred R. Moore, of New York City, who edits the Age, pulled the great sum, but he expressed entirely different sentiments in the same issue of his paper.
The magazine, in an account of the reception at the city hall, Alderman Moore is quoted as saying: "We are all Americans—this flag here is our flag. There should be our flag. When our boys went to France, they were fighting for democracy—color plains, red and green, back expected to find it, expected liberality and equality under the law. For a few days we had it, but that we went back from where we came, criticized, degraded and humiliated, but we borne that with Christian fortitude."
"Gold Star Mothers, regardless of racial affiliations, should be published a kind and friendly relationship for the good of all."
"Gold Star Mothers, white and blue should have been permitted to fraternize together. It would have developed a greater unity and a better understand-
A. Different Tune
On the editorial page was the article that pleased Acting Secretary of War Payne so much. Among other things, it said:
The only exception to the welcome extended the group was on the part of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which deemed it necessary to mark its disapproval of the action of those pilgrims who had accepted the accommodations provided by the War Department. In this attitude, which apparently was intended to embarrass and disturb the members of the group, the Association exceeded the aims and objects of its founders, by visiting its disapproval upon the subjects of discrimination rather than upon those who were responsible for it. The Association sought to stir up strife and willfully misrepresented facts, in its zeal to emphasize the matter of discrimination and segregation of these Gold Star Mothers.
"Any effort to stigmatize the woman as an 'inferior' is uncalled for and an unworthy of the Association upon the rise whose cause it is pledged to advance. There is no reason to believe that should have been preferred to such places as the Y.W.C.A. of Caroline and the Hotel Dupas."
Charges Politics
C. H. McGuire, passenger agent of the American Steamship Lines whose American merchant he is the contingent of pilgrims, stated in a conversation with me, that Mr. Moore told a friend that he would have made his city hall speech was made for the effect it would have on voters in Harlem when he comes up for reelection. Mr. Moore admitted that he could find no fault with the American Merchant after an inspection, McGuire. Whether Mr. McGuire passed this information on to the War Department officials or not, I cannot say. He said that the criticism of the Negro press is not sincere and the department is going right ahead with his plans for sending contingent which is in sale on August 15.
Claims Better Accommodations
Mr. McCurie also stated that while the smaller vessel than the New Republic, which carried the white Gold Star Mothers, there were many features of the smaller vessel to the two. All of the stateroms on the smaller ships are on the outside with none of the mothers' orders to go to the Government and ship nurses are aboard to care for the mothers and the convenience is placed at their disposal. The government in its effort to give the very best, is paying more than many particulars and is insuring the very finest accommodations in the Colonel Gibson, of the War Department, who is helping to arrange the tours, summed the matter up by saying: "The American Merchant will bring back fifty-eight mighty happy and motherly people to be urged to go.

Neisner, treasurer of Neisner Brothers, Incorporated, said that wherever their organization had stores similarly situated, the same policy of employment would be followed.
Neisner Brothers have forty employees in their Forty-seventh Street store, all but six of whom are colored.
Measures up
"The personnel of our store in the colored district measures up to all the standards we require," said Mr. Neisser. "The girls are neat, alert, intelligent, loyal, and seemingly in love with their work. Ability to color line, and we regard the qualities of neighborhood from which we draw support entitled to the employment opportunities which we can give." The visit of the multi-millionaire executive was an event in the history of the store. Easy of address and affable. Mr. Neisser visited each counter, questioning the salesgirls who are said to protect themselfs on their knowledge of their stock and the qualities of their salesmanship. They expressed themselves as being encouraged and stimulated by the
Eighty Stores
Neissner Brothers operate eighty stores in America, eighteen in Chicago, and twenty in England. They specialize in merchandise price from five cents to one dollar, and do thirty million dollars worth of business a year.
A. H. Neissner of Rochester, New York, is the office of the organization, has watched the progress of the Chicago store, which was a departure from the usual employment policy. Later a store was opened in Detroit, Michigan, and four other stores were devoted to open the new store and break in the new clerks, all of whom were colored.
Manager A. Tannebau of the Chicago store, of which this sales "Given the opportunity, the good girl makes every bit as of others," he said. Mr. Tannebau been offered larger stores as a bonus, success which he selected to remain at Forty-Thirty Street.

"Emily B" is D.C.'s Smallest Business
Eight-by-Nine Store Caters to Both Men and Women
WASHINGTON — What is perhaps one of the smallest business concerns in the country was found recently by J. L. Jackson, of the U.S. Department of Commerce, when he unearthed a nine-by-eight store, the "Miss Emily B" at 15th and U Streets, this city.
The little place is worth a tourist's attention for the genius it represents. The owner, Miss Emily B, Coffee originally at Northwestern University, went to school, spent several years in New York working as a seamstress, filter, and designer with some of Broadway's great dress and gown houses, where she learned that size matters. The dressing is concerned. The shop is patterned after the famed small mallory store at Times Square in New York.
Asked about the oddity of the Miss Emily B, coffee the owner said: "Oh I couldn't call it a coffee shop, and there is an Emily Shop in town so Emily B. it is. No, not THE Emily B. either, and I am going to offer standard commodities, as well as class goods with efficient ser-
Incidentally, the owner is near enough to behair: a hundred-pound bag of flour, a hundred pounds of the store; and it's a hundred pounds of personality and selling ability.
CHICAGO—(ANP)—"One of the greatest difficulties facing the Negro Insurance Company," said Dr. L. T. Burbridge, president of the National Negro Insurance Company, who is the fraudulent claims which are made against it by policemen, particularly those carving sick or industrial policies. "The protection guaranteed by insurance companies is not honestly encapsulated. It has for people of a certain type who happen to be out of work or who have learned to make a practice of defrauding to make a profit, nothing is better with them. It would not be possible if physician would not lend themselves to the scheme. A number of doctors, both white and colored, however, sign certificates, sufficient examination and in some cases with claims to be ill."

MAKES BIG GAIN
FIRST HALF YEAR
In Spite of Depression, Company Has Income Increase of $60,000.
NEW POLICIES
President Spaulding to Announce New Plan.
DURHAM, N. C.—Standing out prominently in the forecast affecting business and the workers of the country at this time, is the successful North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, with its more than $3,500,000 of assets and $40,000,000 of insurance in force. During this period of financial depression, when millions of workers
are unemployed
and the Negra
laborer is forced
to work in the
lest burden of
unemployment, it
is of unusual in-
tensity, and
that the premium
income of this
company for the
first year of
this year is
$60,000 more than
it was for the
corresponding
of last's year.
PETER B.
No better testimonial can be given this Negro enterprise than this estated this overwhelming evidence of ever increasing confidence which the policymakers of this company have in its management development, and this record is, also, an indication that the Negro is gradually learning to hold hard and fast to the most important economic necessities of life especially during periods of depression when it is necessary to let go many of the non-essentials.
Development No Accident
This has not just happened, as many officials whose business it is to know and many thousands of people whose pleasure and satisfaction it is to encourage and protect of the company, willingly testify.
The journey through the hazy and hazardous passages of business pioneering from 1898 to 1830 is an unnerving experience that truth is stranger than fiction.
Who, except those intrepid pioneers, Merrick, Moore and Spaulding, could then forse the growth of this grain of mustard seed, in the early days of sacrifice and struggle; the astounding the $3,500-500,000 of approved appraisal and $116,000 for each of the thirty years of the new century.
Old Charges Refuted
But all of the praise is not due the builders, for equally deserving and graftiving to the race is the splendid exhibit of confidence in and appreciation of honest, efficient. Negro policymakers in the force on the lives of over 250,000 policymakers reenactments — $40,000, or over $125,000 for each year; the company's eventful career. Every Negro policymaker in a Negro company is a refutation of the too good too bad. We careless and thoughtless that our people will not support Negro enterprises. Polygholders Help Build These figures, however, do not tell the human scale of mutual service and helpfulness inherent in them; for analysis would divide them into as many parts as there are policymakers who helped build them and who have in them the unquestionable power for self while living and for loved ones when the longe of one's life draws the evening shade and unrolls its scroll of bequests.
A visit to this institution of human service unfolds many surprises and renewed faith in human endeavor.
First, visitors admire office house furnishing, and equipment for the conduct of business. These are modern, ample and adapted to the needs of the large business, but there are also those who waste, or unnecessary duplication.
Office On Open Book
It is a great work-shop where office management is practiced, providing pleasant, comfortable and efficient surroundings for its 75 or more home office employees, knowing that only healthy and happy workers are in the office and remain friendly. And in the observation of the plant at work — the hands, heads, eyes and ears employed there — is the real joy of a visit. Visitors are many for it in the house; its business is an open book.
It represents employment of Nerro people by Negro business, thus producing within the group the necessities of the economic life which every race must provide for in its foundation upon which it houses to build the substructure of education, culture and good citizenship. Eight States The field of the North Carolina Mutual covers the eight states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia District of Columbia, and Maryland. Exactly 620 full time agents and clerks and 475 physicians carry out according to the approved underwriting of the important work of selecting, examining, supervising and servicing the great volume of human business which make up the real strength of the company. Fairness, industry, integrity and considerate, but just, payment of all obligations of the company have made the North Carolina Mutual field force capable builders of the company and real friends of the people.
It is in the interest of better service to the policyholders and prospects of the company that President Spalding writes a new group of policies which meet the demand of a larger number of people who find other excellent contracts beyond their means to purchase or unsuited to their participation. Such service as this is another evidence of the capacity of the modest president of the company always forward, gainning more friends, adding greater secur-

Labor Union, Manufacturers
Parley; Colored Workers
Just Sit Tight
While officials of the local unit of the International Ladies' Garment Makers' Union discussed labor terms pro and con, and city manufacturers and workers, bud, here, last week, where and employees in firms where a considerable part of the force is colored, including the Famous and the Royal concern, where little attention to the picketing of the labor workers and absolutely ignoring the conferences of labor leading being held at the Lord Baltimore Hall
If one happened around at any of the above mentioned shops during lunch hour or mingled with the bunch of employees one got an impression of fairly good understanding between the employer and colored employees. When the employees take the labor work they talk and while they received these workers cordially when the workers visit their homes they seem to be of the opinion that both waters are enough to drown you, but it is best to bridge the bridge that carries you over safely.
And in this instance it seems that the employers in these shops, where, during the employment shortage colored employees have been given an equal distribution of the work, and that layoffs have not been determined by the color of one's skin, are playing the role of bridge.
The colored employees also seem to be wondering, if the Needle Workers Union will follow the tactics of other unions, in finding it convenient to forget their colored constituency once they mistaken the upper hand on the situation.
Black versus White
On the back cover of the manuals of the Clockmaker Union Local No. 4 (the Baltimore branch), vouch play and no discrimination if the colored needle workers will only join play and play in the dark, and play far only four colored workers have skipped out of the shops and flung their handkerchiefs into the union's ring.
The labor officials charge that the union threat the threat of dismissal of all of one race and the employing of the other as a continual stick over the heads of both groups, to keep wage scales low and prevent layoffs. At least that is what Mr. Halpern, vice president asserts.
In a recent statement to workers at the K.M.W. shop where the union is located, Mr. Halpern discourages the employees from buying stock which the company is offering, they warned the employees to not be "suckers," and said that the K.M.W. shop would carry on or were otherwise trying to pull the wool over the employees' eyes by trying to tie them up with the company. But as one young lady opines, "no one incidentally who the K.M.W. concern."
"You are already a sucker if you are so inconsiderate of your own welfare or your own family, you will pennille family and then to fail to make the proper connections that would take you out of it, but a hungry sucker is so much more uncomfortable than one with a job that at least furious even if the butter is a little scarce." The labor leaders tell the colored workers that it will be just too bad for them if they are unintimidate that it will be worse if they join the union, and the union doesn't win out. And so the parleying goes merrily on, but the Negro workers just stand pat, and give a son of good blood. Good Devil whenever they must sing something.

Several years ago, Ernest James found a Dutch, snuff box back of this Ward and T. F. Harris in Focoonce City. Upon inspection, the curio was found to be dated 1582 and engraved an astronomical and calendar gates.
The 348-year-old find was sent to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. Big sums have been offered for the rarity but the owner is not sure. The senator for the appearance of the snuff box in such an unexpected spot has advanced.
Supplications for the lucky number seem to have been the rhyme read out of the "Prayer" book carried by M. Jones of Bridgeport, Conn. which turned out upon inspection to be a lottery book. It seems as though a friend of Jones advised the police to take a look at the "prayer" book, 25 cents in cost for him. He is still wearing it diamond ring and has a bank account, so they say.
The heaviest sentence imposed in Bridgeport, Conn., in years, was giver to Harold McEachin, 20, of North Carolina, who entered the home of an aged woman, Mrs. Margaret A. McEachin, and demanded money. The woman told McEachin that the money was downstairs. When he released her to get it, she made her escape and called her help. The man was arrested and sentenced to the Wetfield Penitentiary for 15 to 25 years.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Means of Stillman Avenue, Ganttinla, N.C., was destroyed by fire Sunday morning, about three o'clock. The fire seemed to have started from the inside and rats are said to have

Advises New Yorkers "Y"
Secretaries Have Rights.
BORDEXTOWN, N.J.—The national conference of laymen and secretaries of the colored work of Young Men's Christian Associations in army session of Bordertown Institute, Sunday, passed resolutions upholding the rights of Y.M.C.A. secretary to freedom of action.
The convention was stirred when word was received that the White Plains, N.Y., Y.M.C.A. had decided to drop Samuel R. Morrell, secretary of the colored branch from the staff when his present contract expires in September.
Mr. Merrall's residence with Dr. Arnold G. Collymore, a dentist, who purchased a home in an exclusive neighborhood of Plains brought the White Plains Y.M.C.A. into an extended controversy over the right of colored people to reside in that part of the village and provoked threat from some white residents, and draw their support from the Community Chest unless Morsell was dropped or reprimanded. The Borderton community unhindered the request for his resignation was termed contrary to Morsell's exercise "certain fundamental citizenship privileges." The request for his resignation was termed contrary to Morsell's exercise "certain fundamental citizenship privileges." This conference regards this as more than a local issue for the brotherhood it may come to be regarded as a precedent which will mean that the price that a secretary would have to pay to hold his position in the brotherhood to the dictation of the board of directors whatever the issue may be. This would be true also as to service of laymen on committees of management of
The National. Y.M.C.A. Council was requested to inform the White Plains organization of the action of the convention. The officers were chairman, Prof. W. R. Valentine, of Bordentown, N.J.; vice chairman, George B. Murphy, Baltimore; secretary-treasurer, Oliver Randolph, Newark, N.J.

S.C. WOMEN REPUDIATE BLEASE "PROTECTION"
Mrs. C. P. McGowan Condemns the Senator's Mob Rule Justification.
THEY STAND BY LAW
Women of South Not Afraid to Abide by Constitution.
CHARLESTON, S.C.-Cole Blease's recent defense of lynching as a "protection to womanhood" was vigorously reckoned here last week by Mrs. C. P. McGoway, white, chairman of the S. C. Committee on Race Relations and one of Charleston's most distinguished women.
In a public statement, Mrs. McGowan called attention to the fact that groups of prominent white Southern women in every Southern state have utterly condemned lynching and repudiate the effort to justify it on the ground of their protection. She said:
They Stand by Constitution
"Hundreds of thousands of white women of the South feel that the law, as represented by sheriffs, juries, and judges, is their honorable and reliable
"Through church affiliation with the great religious organizations and the membership of these organizations the men in the church are affiliated with the Commission on Race Relations in the South, women have in every state passed resolutions repudiating the use of the name of the Church in the South as a cloak for mob violence.
"They state that they stand for legal protection for women, and lawful execution of those convicted of the crime in the South.
"The women of the South are not afraid to stand by the constitution of the United States. The resolutions referred to by Mrs. McCormick are understood, have been published in a pamphlet entitled, 'Southern White Women on Lynching and Mob Violence,' copies of which may be found in the Interracial Co-operation, 409 Palmer Building, Atlanta, Ga.

"Is the Young Man Safe?"
Asks Dr. Goodell
The smarter a young man the more risks he runs; the richer a man the more susceptible he becomes to temptations, is the gist of Dr. Charles L. Goodell's address to be featured on the Sabbath Reveries program over WJZ network, Sunday afternoon, 5:00 o'clock.
"Morals in Machine Age," Seekman's Subject
"Moralis in a Machine Age" is the subject which Dr. Ralph W. Sockman will discuss in the National Sunday Forum over WEAF, Sunday at 4:00 p.m.
"The machine age," says Dr. Sockman, a summary of his address, "gives to man the lengtheness leisure which is so potential for either good or evil. It has made life easier for us physically and harder for us morally. The average man finishes his days' work before he is tired. What he craves at night, therefore, is excitement rather than rest."
