Benedict College students demanded dismissal of Redfern when an unfavorable U.S. government report called attention to a Benedict dean claiming a Ph.D. degree from Providence University in 1907. "The report declared there is no institution by that name" Students also objected to Redfern's activity in politics. Asked by the AFPO-AMERICAN whether Redfern's degree was genuine a phoney, President Antisdef of Benedict made no reply. White Baptists Control Both Shaw University and Benedict College are controlled by the Benedict Baptist Home Mission Society (white) with offices in New York. Shaw's trustee bord, composed of members of both races, would probably have ruled Oberlin down after the burgess, but the society in an institution issued last spring announced a strange doctrine that the trustees had nothing to do with the appointment of members of the faculty. Peacock Still In Backing up this announcement the society stated that President J. L. Peacock, white, opposed by students, alumni, and trustees, would remain in office this school year, despite all objections. Other Appointments At the same time, President Peacock announced the following appointments at Shaw: Charles Eason, white, A.M. (Rutger), mathematics and geography; Florence, Andrew, state, A.B. (Mt.

New York Aviatrix Jumped for Elks DETROIT, Mich. — (ANP)— Thousands of the members of the sheltered herd, headed by J. Finley, in convention here, were thrilled with theachute leap made by Mary Daughtry, New York aviatrix. The leap was made from a plane placed by Gatekeeper James, Wednesday afternoon at the state fair grounds. James and Miss Daughtry, who boasts of using the only aviatrix of color, arrived here Sunday at Packard Flying Field.

LOCAL VETS GOT DEPRIEST WARNS ONLY TASTE OF CHURCH PEOPLE JIM CROW HERE OF COMMUNISTS PHILADELPHIA. — For a Protestant minister to live with a spiritualist is a veritable hell, said the Rev. Dr. Becton, discussing the causes and charges growing out of his recent marital rift after four years of married life with Mrs. Bufford Becton, on Monday. In the above words the evangelist opened an interview with a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN after it had been stated that he would not talk with newspaper men. Thus he prefaced the first direct statement made to a representative of the press since the break. The interviewer was introduced to the evangelist by Dr. Charles Tindley, pastor of the Tindley Temple M.E. Church, and was greeted cordially. Immaculately dressed and reserved, he did not appear the same man of the night before who saved 5,000 people to his every wish. "Mrs. Becton is a spiritualist, an ordained minister. Spiritualists are strange and peculiar. During my four years of married life I tried to do those things which would make for a happy life. I was also her suggestive, discharged, my whole house she did not like the members. I employed new members With local hotels, halls and other public places letting down their barriers to make things pleasant for the visiting delegates to the convention of Veterans of Foreign Wars, only the old First Separate Company, Maryland National Guard, tasted the bitterness of discrimination at the hands of their own home town. At the Lord Baltimore Hotel, where the sessions of the convention are being held, colored and white visitors are intermingled, being seated with their respective state delegations. The same order prevailed in the parade in which both well-attended and participated. To all appearances, the First Separate Company was accorded every courtesy in that they marched in the middle of the parade. As a matter of fact, were placed in the active units which preceded the visiting delegates. Cut off From Infantry The parade swung down Mt. Royal Avenue to Howard Street to a reviewing stand at City Hall where President Hoover, Governor Ritchie the Mayor Broening witnessed the Company was unarmed with the infantry divisions, but was placed at the end of the line cut off by a battery of field artillery from other infantry units. They were followed by the visiting delegations after an interval. Among the delegations to be discussed the convention are the unarmed payment of the soldiers bonus pension for the dependents of deceased World War veterans, tax exemption for wives of veterans, equal benefits for all Goers, vocational training for pre-war enlisted men, investigation of the nat- continued on Page 17, Column 7 COLUMBUS.

Regarding a charge that he had contributed but $700 to his wife over a long period of time, the interviewer was shown checks drawn on the Chelsea Bank of New York, made payable to the wife. They totaled Paid 5800 Board A statement appearing in the AFBO stating that he gave his wife $4,750 was an error, said the evangelist. Explaining he stated: "From January 28 up until I came to New York the past March, I had given my wife through sources other than checks, the sum of $3,225. Checks will account for another $1,350. "This sum was in addition to $800 paid her when members of the party boarded with her during their stay there," he continued. "Spiritualism of the Devil" "I the newspaper have stated that I brought the work of my wife. I answer that by saying what man would not. I slept in the same building where her church was, but I never attended her meetings regularly. The more I saw of the more performance I observed that modern Spiritualism is of the devil." Questioned relative to his knowledge of the former marriage of his wife the Rev. M. Becton stated. Following any New York meeting Continued on Page 5. Column 2 DEPRIEST WARNS CHURCH PEOPLE OF COMMUNISTS CLEVELAND.—"I am asking the preachers to do their utmost in discouraging the Negroes in listening to Communist propaganda. The intelligent use of the ballot by the Negro in America will do the Negro more good than any amount of Communist propaganda," said Congressman Oscar DePriest last Thursday night. He was speaking before an audience of nearly 1,000 attending the National Convention of Congregational and Christian Workers Among Colored People, in session at Mk. Zion Congregational Church, Central Avenue and E. 55th Street. When asked about, the filling of vacancies at the West Point Military Academy, DePriest said: "There are no vacancies now that I can fill. Both will be filled with Negro boys. I shall keep on accounting Negro boys. If they are not physically able to pass the exam, I will try again, until the proper ones will stay. If none can stay, I will not be ashamed of that. I tried my best," he said. Barber and Doctor Take Nip; Both Die MEMPHIS. — James Foster, barber, went to the office of Dr. C, W. Baker, white, who was a nurse and both took a nip from the same bottle of whiskey. Foster died at 3 p.m. of strychnine poisoning. Baker followed five hours later. "The whiskey was in a wide-mouthed bottle with no stopper. A small bottle of water filled the shelf was overturned, some of the crystals evidently dropped into the whiskey. "The first intimation of something wrong came to the door. I was shaving and said: 'Something is the matter with me. I'm going to jump out of the window.' In ten minutes he was dead. 'My kid died the doctor,' then I walked too. I drank out of the same bottle."

Dr. Ernest Work, white, of New Concord, Ohio, may head the educational advisory group which Emperor Ras Tafari plans as a part of the Abyssinian expansion program, Lij Malaka E. Bayen, envoy from that country told an AFRO representative here last week. The statement relative to Dr. Work was practically a slip of the tongue, as the Abyssinian envoys have refused to go into any deal of their mission here other than to state that they must make arrangements for United States representation at the coronation ceremonies of Emperor Ras Tafari which will take place on November 2.

His wife Kantiba Gabru, 60 years of age, made the trip in the parlor car, of the same crack train. "I liked my ride fine," Bayon told the AFRO-AMERICAN, in quaint English. A delegation of four white men met the representatives at the station and escorted them to the Johns Hopkins Hospital on an observation trip. They left Thursday for New York, via Philadelphia. From other sources it is learned that the envoys will confer with the J. G. White Engineering Co. of New York, building a dam across the Blue Nile in Abyssinia. They also conferred with the State Department concerning the selection of an American financial advisor and an educational advisor. KENTUCKY FOR ROBSION LOUISVILLE. — Local papers are supporting J.

T. Bailey and Rev. G. S. Brown of Marion NEW YORK—Firm demand that Governor Harry G. Leslie and Attorney-General James M. Ogden of Indiana take action to apprehend and punish the lynchers who, on August 7, murdered Thomas Shipp and Abraham Smith, was made by a delegation representing the Marion and Indiana branches of the N.A.A.C.P. The delegation was headed by Mrs. W. T. Balley of Marion, president of the Indiana Conference of the N.A.A.C.P. The petitioners also demanded of the governor that he request the resignation of Sheriff Campbell for his failure to do his duty in repelling the lynchers. The delegation included R. L. Balley and G.

NONE FOR PHIL Edwards Quartered with English Athletes. CHICAGO. (ANP)—Contrast in the treatment of two countries of their Negro athletes was shown at the International track meet here Thursday when Phil Edwards representing Great Britain, was extended every courtesy of his white companions while Eddie Tolan and two others representing America, were segregated and embarrassed. The black boys who raced into the calcium white light, spurred on by the frenzed cheering of their white fellow citizens, were: Eddie Tolan, the diminutive speed demon of the University of Michigan, possessor of the world and national record for the 100-yard dash, and joint-possessor of the world record for the 100-meter sprint; John Lewis, super quater miler from the University of Delaware; Ralph Metcalfe, owner of the junior national record for the 100-yard event; and Phil Edwards, American half-mile champion. Each one of these boys outran the members of "the superiar race" pitted against him. From the minute Tolan raced in his front yards ahead in his lap of the 400-yard relay, the impassioned was made that whenever a boy run, he was to be a winner. The composite mind of the white and black spectators was concentrated on what a certain black boy would do. Tolan's phenomenal feats have made a prepared stare when he entered the book place, most writers conceded the British an edge because of their supremacy in the track events. If the United States hoped to win the meet, it was felt that it would be necessary to snatch at least one track victory. The fate of the United States was placed in the balance against defeat in the 400-yard relay. The anchor man, one chief runner in that relay, was little Eddie Tolan. Upon the chunky legs rested the hopes of American white supremacy in track athletics. Jim Crow There But more than that even was carried by the Michigan Flyer. Of the four track athletes who participated in the meet three, Tolan, Metcalfe, and Lewis, were members of the American team; and one, Edwards, was a member of the British outfit.

Governor Acknowledges Names of Lynchers Another late development has been acknowledged by Governor Leslie through his secretary, of the receipt from Walter White, Acting Secretary of the N.A.A.C., of the names of nineteen members of the mob with evidence against these alleged lynchers. The Indianapolis Times of August 21, editorially declares, in part: "It is unfortunate that the demand for action against the Lynchers at Marion was made by a delegation of "There should have been a procession of delegations of white citizens there ahead of them, making the same demands, and asking the Governor to make a decision of whether any citizen who gives evidence against those who supplied private vengeance for law. "Resistance on the part of public officials, either those at Marden or at the statehouse, is not creditable to the state. It suggests either fear of mobs or a sympathy with the lynchers." Not only does THE A.R. risk of displeasing infidels public at large is great Not only does THE AFRO tell the good news, but it tells all the news, running the risk of displeasing influential personages, but THE AFRO believes its duty to the public at large is greater than courting the favor of individuals.

SUES GOVERNOR FOR DEATH OF HUSBAND SUES GOVERNOR FOR DEATH OF HUSBAND BATON ROUGE, La. — Charging that Governor Huey P. Long was jointly responsible for conditions under which her husband, Curtis Blackwell, was killed in a Louisiana convict camp, Mrs. Blackwell has named him in a $25,000 damage suit. The killing, out of which the suit grew took place last Friday, a rice farm in Pointe Coupee, where Blackwell convicted, had been farmed out under by the state authorities. A number of the convicts revolted against treatment which they said was intolerable and guards killed Blackwell during the disturbance. Personal Profit Charged In her petition filed in the district court, Blackwell sets forth that the governor had been a party to the tragedy by coercing Clay J. Douglass, general manager of the bank into a contract with John P. Burgin, operator of the rice farm, to supply convict labor in exchange for payment of a agreement to divide the crop equally between contracting parties. The petition also charged that the governor entered into the contract with Blackwell, Contract Illegal, is Claim. This contract was illegal, according to Mrs. Blackwell's petition, as the farm had not been a party to as a contract and Blackwell had been illegally confined there.

PHILADELPHIA. — Stealing by a police guard stationed at the home of William Glick, white, 1402 N. 52nd Street, a dynamiter hurled a stick of dynamite into the kitchen, Thursday, when the owner refused to heed a warning to cease renting a house at 60th and Arch Streets to a Negro tenant. The explosion wrecked the kitchen of the Glick home and he narrowly escaped death when he was hurled to the floor by the impact. Second Attempt The explosion was the second attempt to force the owner of the Arch Street house to put out Mrs. Lucille Quillen who had rented the house from Glick, who has been there since July. Shortly after she moved in, a bomb was placed on the porch of the Glick house but failed to explode. A number of warning letters were also sent one of them, sent just prior to the explosion Thursday, said that "desperate measures" would be used unless Glick disposed Mrs. Quillen. Houses for several blocks around were rocked by the explosion and the immediate community was in a panic. Since the first attempt to bomb the house, police guards tried to both the Glick home and the Arch Street house rented to Mrs. Quillen. G.O.P. Platform Blank at Lynching Plank WASHINGTON — (CNS) — Pointing with pride to the fact that President Hoover has kept faith with the American people, the 1928 platform pledges of his party, the Republican National Committee has issued a 49-page statement in pamphlet form. In one of the various places the Kansas City platform, and in another appear statements telling how President Hoover has made good on them. However, no claim of fulfillment is made, the space opposite the Negro plank being left blank. The platform promised that Congress would be urged at the Federal level for anti-lynching law "so that the full influence of the Federal Government" might be wielded, to "exterminate this hideous crime." The bill would do this, failed of passage. Dr. Wharton Stricken ALTOONA, Fa. — Dr. Ulysses Wharton prominent physician, suf- fice of the University last week and was still unconscious Monday.

Parade THE NEW YORKER What Your Telephone Dollars Buy The money you spend for your telephone does not buy the actual instrument. What then, DO you buy? You buy service=constant, twenty-four hour service. Whether you are calling across the street or across the continent, the service is waiting for you=always ready. You buy knowledge and experience that have taken years to acquire, and directed toward the single end that you may pick up your telephone and get the one other telephone you want out of more than 29,000,000 throughout the world. You buy human devotion=loyalty that never wavers no matter what the emergency. The history of the telephone is filled with stories of men and women who have performed far beyond the line of duty, that the service might not falter. These are the things your telephone dollars bring to you, things that cannot be measured in terms of price.

Cleopatra Wins About midway of the procession came Engine Company No. 4, of the District, with their float "Cleopatra's Barge-B.C. 30". Headed by the Community Center Band, under the leadership of Prof. J. E. Miller, this unit—one of the two colored units in the procession—had the high honor of presenting the "piece de resistance" of the parade. This float represented a barge of state and the store of the ancient but beautiful Egyptian queen Cleopatra, in the perfection of her Grecian beauty, with her captive lover Mark Anthony, by her side. Full equipped with a huge silken sail which glittered as it reflected the sun's rays and manned by a complete crew and eight giant "galley slaves" at the oars, the barge in all its slender "sailed" up the avenue, attracting much attention and receiving generous applause from young and old all along the line — and was awarded first prize by the judges for the most beautiful float in the parade.

Dating back to ancient times, slave traffics has been carried on in the country by bandits, but modern activities have been eradicated by patrols, and the practice exists in remote and inaccessible parts of the large country. First Slaves Were Captured In a report explaining slavery in the country the text discloses the following facts: The first slaves were prisoners of war who were unable to pay their ransom and remained as a consequence of the service of the conquerors. These children were born and their parents continued in the natural order things to be slaves. The Aborigians who were constantly at war, increased the number of their prisoners and consequently the number of their slaves. Accordingly, there actually ensued up a castle of slaves which became over, was in conformity with precepts of Hebrew law with which the Abyssinians were imbued and formed the basis of their religion. Temptations Later, certain persons who own large numbers of slaves were solicited by s. i.e. traders—mainly Arabs. We know with some of their slaves in exchange for money or merchandise, and many allowed themselves to be tempted by the magnificent offers they receive Gradually this became a lucrative trade, and finally, when the demand for slave owners increased, slave owners. In order not to lose a excellent opportunity of earning themselves, carried out raids in the neighboring countries. Emperor Forbade Practice The Emperor Theodore was th. fr. to realize how odious and inhumane the slave trade was, and to mutilated severe edicts for forbidding these proceedings. His successors followed his example, but the Emperor trade had taken such a firm hold on the people that the edicts were not tolerated. Only when the unity of the emperor was attained under the Emperor Menikl II, and the chiefs of the provinces, as well as the chiefs of the kingsdoms under the suzerainty of the emperor, could the slave trade be effectively suppressed. Use Harsh Measures The present government, headed by Emperor Ras Taffar, has made a policy against the slave dealers, has succeeded in almost totally unrestricted the slave trade. But in Abyssinia, in all countries simultaneously, is severe and almost entirely applied, there are persons who violate it. When the imperial police are able to arrest any of the criminals, however, the arrest is made with—as insured in July, 1922. It may be said that at the present time the slave trade no longer exists in Abyssinia, except in isolated cases which are becoming increasingly rare. Undeveloped Country Abyssinia is, however an important area of operations still in a very undeveloped state and the pursuit of bandits who carry on this illicit trade is very difficult. D.C.

He punched her nose and pushed her head through aane of glass. Gib's ball was $2,000. passed. It would impose a fine of $250 or expulsion from the order or any branch of the order. It also authorizes the grand exalted rule to confiscate the charter of any lodge takes part in any such conspiracy. Unemployment On the recommendation of the department, the comment was referred to the local lodge with authority to appoint a committee on employment and manpower. The committee also disapproved all propositions for a reduction of the annual grand lodge tax of one dollar and the grand lodge sustained its action. Eagle Taken Over The grand lodge voted to buy and publish the Washington Eagle, now a weekly tabloid owned by Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson. It will be pub- lished as a monthly magazine and a copy is to be mailed to each mem- ber of the grand lodge. Publishing the magazine will be met out of 15 per cent of the annual grand lodge per capita tax. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson is to receive 5 per cent of the gross receipts for a period of ten years. The appreciation by the Grand exalted ruler will serve as a pub- lishing board. Pay Increased Only one officer received an increase in salary. He is Perry W.

Walker of Cleveland, Ohio, moved a suspension of the rules and his unanimous Warner Renamed When the election of a grand treasurer was reached, the convention was in tumult for the re-election of Henry S. Warner of New York City. A grand treasurer, Edward W. Henry of Philadelphia arose to nominate Warner. He decided it was not necessary and moved a suspension of the rules and his re-election by an unanimous designation for Warner. The name of Charles C. Diggs, chairman of the general committee on arrangements, was presented to the convention, but when Diggs saw, there was no enthusiasm in his favor he asked with enthusiasm the last question. Warner was re-elected by acclamation. James B.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, September 6, 1930 Opponents Girding for Another Bitter Contest in 1931. 33 NEW LODGES Panama, England and Philippines Have Organizations. DETROIT—(ANP) — Although J. Finley Wilson was re-elected grand exalted ruler of the Elks by acclamation in one of the most sweeping victories of his eight years of service, oil has not yet been spread on the troubled waters of Elkdom, according to post-convention rumors now afloat. Of course, this does not mean that all the fighting is over. Mr. Wilson must still consider the possibilities of an entanglement which the activities of certain Elks, meeting in Virginia, have brought about. It will be remembered that Federal Judge Laurence Groner, of the Richmond, Va. district, ruled adversely on the legal status and powers of the order presided over by J. Finley Wilson has been the ruler of the Groner. The bearing on the appeal will be held next February. Opponents Still Busy Leaders of the opposition, among whom are George Bates, former secretary Casper Holstein, New York attorney John McCarthy, last year; and James Martin, exalted ruler of the suspended Ford Dearborn Lodge of Chicago, asserted that the court's action on the appeal before developing their plans for the cleansing of the order. They insinuate that Wilson's vicious attack on the attorney closed did not indicate that their opposition had been crushed but that the legal circumstances of the battle prevented them from carrying the case. It is promised that real fireworks will be exploited after February, 1931. New Lodges Established While the record showed that thirty-three new lodges had been organized during the past year, it at the same time imposed a stricter rule than eight of the large centers of Elkdom had resulted in the increase in each of more than 1,000. New lodges, according to Wilson, were organized in London, England, in Panama, and in the Philippines. The reports of the grand exalted ruler showed that out of the 118 lodges cited for contempt, for failure to pay the annual tax, 100 lodges held funds back, and no funds of the order have passed through the hands of officials not bonded, the records showed. Wilson stated that funds in the failed Binga State Bank of New York had been institution in Wilson, N.C., were amply protected and that the order would not lose a cent. Parade Two Hours Eiks wended their way through crowded streets here Wednesday, led in triumph by J. Pineley Wilson, grand officer of the marching clubs, marching clubs, and floats blocked the traffic lanes of the city for more than two hours. Starting promptly at 1:00 p.m., at the Madison Convention center south to Madison; west to Witheral; east to Grand Circus Park, where the grand exalted ruler and grand officials of the order reviewed the marchers one-thousand times, convention choreographer "Laff Every Voice and Sing" as the grand officers entered the reviewing stand. Registration headquarters for delegates to the local committee at Hastings and Sherman Streets, and by Saturday evening thousands were milling for miles up St. Antone and the side streets. Breathless service to the grand tenure officers Jap's Grill at 10:00 a.m. and at 8:00 p.m., a reception was given to grand judge officers and distinguished officers of the committee, at Belle Isle Casino. Kelley Returned The election of J. E. Kelley as grand secretary, quickly followed the reading of his report, covering the reading of his report, covering the organization. His records showed that funds slightly in the rise of $40,000 would be on hand after the expenses of the thirty-first annual session had been paid. The report of Dr. William J. Thompkins was a comprehensive survey of the health program of the order during the past year. He made a detailed report of the expenses covering a plan which, if finally made a permanent part of the grand lodge program will secure for the order a better insurance rate from all old line legal reserve companies. WHITE WORKERS JOIN EXECUTION PROTEST Police Ordered to Smash Meeting in Front of Jail. WILMINGTON, Del.—Police clashed here last week with more than 200 white and Negro workers of the International Labor Defense when they met in front of the jail to protest what they called a "legal lynching" of Theodore Rus, convicted of assaulting a white woman near Woodside. Members of the Defense and the American Negro Labor Congress declare that the chief evidence upon which Rus was convicted and been indicted by the witness who gave it but that white Wilmington officials were bent upon punishing some one. When the workers met in the protest meeting at a street corner near the jail, the police charged the crowd and arrested several of the leaders. Look for Speakers Following this, it was said, the police combed the Negro section for speakers who might call together other'meetings. It was also feared that they would be run in Russ. who was Friday, was charged with criminal assault, upon a woman, a Mrs. Reed living near Woodside, belo- Dover. He was convicted on the testimony of Linwood Gray who swore trial that he said he was into the home of the seed and that peeping the key hole he. saw Russ assault the woman. Gray later made an affidavit repudiating testimony. On the basis of the affidavit, Russ' ordeal made an appeal over. Blackshirts Organized to Replace all Negro Workers with Whites, in Atlanta. ATLANTA, Ga.—A new appeal to the dwarfed mentality of Southern bigots is found in the American Facisti, an organization that inculcates all the hatred of the Ku Klux Klan, but instead of the hoods and white robes, the members bedeck themselves in black shirts. The American Facisti, according to the Black Shirt, the official organ of the organization, is built on the principle of American for Americans, to rid the country of Communists and to uphold white supremacy by replacing all Negro laborers with white belts. Another advertisement calls attention to a rally to be held at Lakewood Park. "We want every 'He' white man in Atlanta above the age of 18 at the park," says the ad. "A determined effort will be made to carry forward the sublime principles of the Black shirts. Five thousand new members will be filled. Come and bring every white with you, yet. The publication is also filled with advertisements of political candidates who pledge to uphold the principles of the Blackshirts. Among these are, John N. Holder, for governor, and two representatives for the Georgia legislature who announce boldly that they are Blackshirts. Anti-Communist Many Advertisements According to the paper, which advertises prominently the announcement that black shirts can be obtained for one dollar and official ties can be bought for sixty-nine cents, various stores are competing with each other to furnish the Blackshirt trade. ABYSSINIAN MONARCH WORKS 15 HOURS DAY ABYSSINIAN MONARCH WORKS 15 HOURS DAY Visitors Back from African Empire Say Ruler Starts at 4 A.M. PALACE DESCRIBED Furniture of Throne Room Consists of Cushions. (Paris Bureau of the AFRO) PARIS. — Two French aviators, Rabatel and Massot, who spent several months in Abyssinia, have returned and are giving what are perhaps, the most graphic accounts of that country, that we have so far had. They speak of that ancient Negro empire as being extremely rich in natural resources, with many wealthy princes, and a very desirable climate — Abyssinia is called the Switzerland of Africa. They therefore, easy to understand they say, why so many greedy eyes are fixed on it. The Palace Emperor Tafari they found to be a most enlightened man living in a splendid palace. Their audience with him they describe as follows: "On the top of a high, tall, surreptitious palace, to-toars is the imperial palace. But the ascent is not difficult for us. Our 'rrrag is drawn up there by men for at the capital no person of consequence ever walks in going anywhere. 'Before entering the palace we must ascend three gates. At the first is a great crowd of solicitors of all sorts, men, women, and children; at the second, are bare-footed guards, rifles on shoulders, in their Ethiopian uniforms; passing through the three gates of the palace, building, flanked with many small ones. All Sit on Cushions "Here we are now in the imperial sanctuary. The Lord Chamberlain with the most careful observance of court etiquette users us into an immense hall, at the end of the room, a splendid cushion, on which the Emperor himself is sitting in Oriental style. He is wearing a ery splendid mantle, superbly embroidered and are struck by the fitness and grace of his form, and even more by the primary vivacity of his counterpane. "With his dark skin, his well-kneel beard, and delicate mustache to hold his head, he portrays painted on emerald by a Persian artist. The King of Kings greets us with a smile, and he converses through an interpreter, because it is against court etiquette for a visitor to adhere himself directly to the Lion Judah. French the Language "The emperor speaks in a voice that we can hardly hear and without any inflexion. We can hardly speak in a voice that translates for us the royal word, and, we admit it was a bit disconcerting to see this sovereign maintaining the frozen tide of ancient Europe, discussing the most colossal progress of modern times, especially aviation, on which he is perfectly informed. His enthusiasm not the better of him, and suddenly, putting the interpreter aside, he addressed himself directly to us, in the purest and most unrestricted French, for "It was indeed astonishing, this strange duality of the Emperor; on one hand, a man simply to marvel at the marvels of Western civilization; and on the other, a man, equally anxious to preserve the old customs of the triv., which back to the when progress had never even been heard of." Cork Helmet The private life of the Emperor reflects the same, say the aviators. If the service in the palace with its exacitude, care, and quailty, ental, much more elaborate and fixxible, is modern. The monarch holds the balance between East and West, not adopting the customs of the East. His ordinary dress also reveals that, and to keep sharp rays off the ground, he wears, sometimes a cork helmet of the kind white men in the tropics. Each morning he receives in grand pomp all his ministers, and twice a week, surrounded by all his notes, he dispenses medicine, and he dispenses blood. clock goes to the races, and adores the automobile. "Tradition, however, follows him even when he is auto-riding, the men of his special profession who possess an unbelievable endurance, and it is only when the car hits it up at thirty miles an hour or so, they will abandon their work. As a rule, the royal car does not go fast. Rises at 4 A.M. "Moroverse our horror has little time for auto rides or for the chase he votes himself almost entirely to the affairs of his empire. Rises at 5 A.m. he is at work every five. He sees and sees everything. Those who watch him thus working fifteen hours a day are alarmed, but it is unhealthy, for he seems to be in excess of health, and to possess an energy- superior to Another advertisement calls attention to a rally to be held at Lakewood Park. "We want every 'He' white man in Atlanta above the age of 18 at the park," says the ad. "A determined effort will be made to carry forward the subline principles of the Blackshirts. Five thousand new members are enrolled. Come and bring every white man with you." The publication is also filled with advertisements of political candidates who pledge to uphold the principles of the Blackshirts. Among these are, John N. Holder, for governor, and two representatives for the Georgia legislature who announce boldly that they are Blackshirts. Anti-Communist "The Blackshirts," the paper states, "are anti-Communist, and hope to duel the state out of the country, because they are desecrating the flag, lowering the standards of the white race and instilling insurrection and treason into our good Negroes. "We do not favor mob rule and are sworn to uphold the laws of our state and country. We do favor sensible legislation and honest government—by white people. We advocate supremacy and the employment of white men in preference to the Negro. Why shouldn't we protect ourselves and our families by replacing the Negro help with the white unemployed? "Have you ever seen a white man employed by a Negro? No. You have not. You might say that a white man would not work for a Negro, but you are mistaken. There are white men in the city who have not had work for months." Appeal to Wealthy While most of the appeals are made to what is known as the "poor white trash," another article in the paper seeks to play on the sympathy of the wealthy. "You men, who are lavish spenders; you men, who freely tip your caddies; you bootbucks and your doves; you know that there are several unemployed white men in Alaska." "To maintain and forever secure white supremacy for our posterity against the amalgamation of races is a sacred responsibility which every white man in the United States must assume."

WASHINGTON. — Letters sent out by Edward Taylor, president of the Howard University Student Council, last week, ask alumni to contribute funds for the establishment of a training table for football players. Under amateur rules, colleges provide openly no inducements in the study of scholarships or free board for athletics. Where there is a so-called "training table," furnishing special food for athletes, they are required to pay the same amount to eat there as they would have paid at their own boarding houses or at the University dining hall. A free training table at Howard would make its football players professionals and start a rivalry of cuiting which would soon lead to offering baskets of inducements free board. No training table is provided for baseball, track or tennis athletes. Mr. Taylor's letter, asking alumni to "chip in" is as follows: **Best Lincoln** *"Beat Lincoln!" Such are the words which will soon pour from the lips and stir the hopes of every true Howardite throughout the world. And yet without your support and support the chances are very slim. Under existing circumstances is Howard. Because of economy and morals, the administration has discontinued a training table for the football squad. Those families, who have this situation created last year with our team. Others with common horse sense, know how impossible it is for men to train on empty stomachs. And yet they Can't Work and Play Football Can't Work and Play Football Ken cannot work and train too. But Howai graded him in both work, hung up, and no football at all. With the help of the Alumni, the Student Council can and will win a team. We want to see Howard retain her glory of the past. We will provide a training table ourselves. Let every loyal alumnus send a subscription to Howard and attend at Howard. This must be done at once. We wish the loyal clubs in every community would sponsor some affair to raise funds to help us remedy this urgent need. Weekly to Print Names The Hill Top will print the names of each individual or club which subscribes to this fund, together with the amount sent. Actually, the hill top will soon be time for the whistle to blow. STUDENT COUNCIL. BROWN TAYLOR, president.

Defense LOUISVILLE, Ky.-Property of a corporation in a school district may be assessed although the law limits the property authorized to be taxed for white schools to that within the district and owned by the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky has just held in a case entitled The Cincinnati, New Orleans, & Texas Pacific Railway Co. v. Board of Trustees. Property owned by colored persons is taxed for colored schools. In the case of corporations, the opinion explained, the Kentucky courts have worked out a rule that the proportion of the corporate property which the number of white pupil children bears to the t al number of pupil children is a colorful person. The remedy of the corporate property is a colored person. claring that the administration had set out "to develop an absolutely clean, open, and above-board amateur athletic situation with men in the game because they love the sport."

(Paris Bureau of the AFRO) PARIS—White Americans in the rope are having cause to be alarmed of their country these days. A publicity is being given the European press to the epidemic of trading now raging in the United States. Europeans view lynching for it is—an atrocity and a barbain of the worst kind. Nearly every French paper has covered accounts of the lynching, some of them with full page illustrations and condemning them in no untaintable language. La. Depeche Coloniale, leading an iconial organ, carries a picture of a woman standing up to a tree on the front pane, and she says of the leading article says: "The authors of this cruel and the barous deed are assured of impunity for the writer. The writer, Mr. Victor Tate, has lived in the United tates, and twenty-two cases of lynching Georgia, and shows how some of the victims for such "venses" as "incautious remarks" for "mislanguage a mob." None Punishable "The most astonishing and spaying thing," says M. Forlin, "none of the lynchers are ever taken down, and none has a lyncher ever been punished in America. Sometimes, due to the pressure of Negro societies, inquiries are made, but they and regularly in nudity, are not prosecuted. Detective, one of the leading bristled weeklies, carries a picture lynchmed Negro on its front, and next to it, along with the same one inside, along with six columns printed matter. The writer, Tiburee Grant, gives full review of recent lynchings. Church at Fault The church in America, says Grant, speaks against everyone else lynching the church. The minute after the lynching is lauded than playing cards, drills whiskey, and going to the theater. Le Monde, leading intellectually, of which Einstein, Göring, Count Karolyi, are editors, has a habit with illustration to the same effect. The writer blames lynching the ignorance that prevailed in the South, where they are also in habit of burning books on erotic. South Suppresses Seven "Lynching," the phrase is used need for perverse white people. Lynching arises of a sexual need, which is thrust by religion only to be more grim excited." The same well-known writer has also devoted considerable attention and several pictures to the topic, as well as Le Journal, Le S and other papers. The same holds true of the German, Dutch, Belgian, and Ecuadorian. Girl Friend Some Stabber (Carroll News Staff) BOSTON, MA - The police of OEOM启动了 a search.

COP LOOKS ON Educator Continues to New York on Train. ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Declaring that while a cop looked on, a conductor on the Pickwick Greyhound Bus Line beat him up because he refused to move to a rear seat on a trip from St. Louis to New York last week, Professor James A. Johnson, professor of economics at Shaw University, is preparing to file damage suits against that company. Prof. Johnson declared that he will not only file a damage suit but that he will take the matter up with the Interstate Commerce Commission. The Pennsylvania Railway is said to be interested in the Greyhound Bus Tells Story According to the professor's own story of the affair, he boarded the bus at St. Louis after purchasing a ticket to New York. Everything went along all right until he reached Indianapolis, where he changed buses. On the bus leaving Indianapolis, he took a seat fourth from the front. Just before reaching Knightsville, he said, which was about 3:30 a.m. the driver came to him and said, "Say Short, get up and take a back seat." When asked why he had to move, the driver told him to get up and give a white lady a seat. He refused, telling the driver that there were other empty seats. "You will get back there or get out of here," the driver said as he went back to the rear of the bus. "There is one nigger back there by himself and you up here by yourself I am not going to have you monopolise the whole bus," the driver also said. Calls Constable When the bus reached K宁堡ville the driver announced a ten-minute rest. Most of the passengers got out but Prof. Johnson remained in his seat. It was at this time that the driver went and called a constable to tell him what he was going to do. As this officer looked on the door, he came to him said, "You are not going to move, are you?" Prof. Johnson told him. Na. He then struck the passenger with his fist, grabbed him in the room and knocked him all over the head and face.

BECTON SAYS "HELL" Continued from Page 1 I came to Philadelphia on a visit one Saturday. Just before I left, my wife was worried about where we were going to, whether at the "X" or "Y". Found Wife Married "She advised me to not stop at the Douglass Hotel because Bufford was there. I asked whether or not she had been there, and said 'Yes.' I was dazed, but asked her when she found it out. She replied that she learned of it last summer or spring, but did not tell me because she was doubtful how I answered. "After that revelation, my conscience would not let me live with her as wife. I resolved to just simply live with her as a brother and sister might live. After she spread the report that I had deserted him, admitted the truth. I would never done so had she been divorced." Had Several Offers Regarding the statement by Mrs. Becton that the evangelist had nowhere to go after the New York interviewer was shown several letters. The letters were requests for the evangelist's services and were postmarked in the period before the close of the meeting. Among them were requests frombury Park, New York; frompostbury Park,Baptist Church, Philadelphia, the Rev. J. B. Gardner, pastor; Storm Zion A.M.E. Church, Evergreen, Ala.; frompostbury Park,Baptist Church, White Bliss, Y., and fromDr. J. C. Sweeney, of Olivet Baptist Temple, Baltimore. The Rev. Mr. Sweeney is the minister who ordained Dr. Becton. There were requests forHops Baptist Church, Philadelphia, the Rev. W. H. Gray, pastor. Regarding the "dedicated dollar" and the "consecrated dime," the evangelist disclaimed credit for the money that it was the law the explanation that it was to help the churches. No Burden "I am no burden to the churches," he continued. "The collections I have taken have been for the church. Only a percentage of the proceeds of the collections go to me. If I should run short, I make a special request of the minister to be permitted to ask another offering. I live for the church and not for the collections. If I am doing anything wrong, then the ministers are fooling me. There is nothing in my life I have to hide. I have to attend a lecture denounced by Christ was the Pharisee robe," said the evangelist, in discussing his changes of clothes. "Jesus was conventional and was not distinguished by an earnest eye." "I stress as I do to show the devil that a man can be immaculate in attire, clean from skin out, yet be torn off, Prof. Johnson was compelled to leave the bus. After looking on, the constable told him, "He did you right; you should have moved when he asked you." Although it was around 4:00 a.m. Prof. Johnson was told that he could not walk and left later on a train for New York. Treated Courteously On the train, Prof. Johnson saw he was treated courteously by the conductor who gave him a comfortable place to lie and offer him a get a ticket to his ticket the name of a passenger who witnessed the affair, he says. The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, September 6, 1930 spiritual in his life. I have no desire to be big. "I am living not for Becton, but for the community. It would exhaust-my reserve energy if I had to attend to the many details connected to this work after leaving the nulit." "The secret of my power lies in the Lord. There is nothing in my life with God. I am a slave. I have consecrated myself to God and spend hours on my knees before Him asking for guidance. I ask Him to help and purge me. I have faith that He will help Altar in His Room The Rev. Mr. Becton has an altar in his room for his daily private devotions. The Gospel Feast Party is established along business lines, he said. He has 10 members. Each withdrawal of money by anyone even the evangelist himself is noted by M. C. Davis, the general manager. Mr. Davies holds a B.S. degree from Knoxville College. The interviewer was shown the individual accounts and records of the business and in which expenses are accounted for in competent bookkeeping methods. Rex Becton Pious Before the talk with Dr. Becton, the representative of the AFKO talked with the Rev. Dr. Charles A. Tindley of Tindley Temple. Dr. Tindley said: "The Rev. Mr. Becton is one of the most plious men I know whether he has been the household in whi' he states report that they have seen him on his knees late at night in prayer. He has the general collection. If he gets behind in his expenses, he begs for the privilege of asking an after collection. He has collected hints he needed 300 per cent since the beginning of the revival."

Bv E. W. BAKER By E. W. BAKER (Staff Correspondent of the APRO) PHILADELPHIA. — Hurling charges against "numbers playing," backsliding, and hypocrisy like an unmasked battery of machine guns against the cohorts of the devil, shouting, dancing, whistling, roaring, stamping, gesticulating, and psychologizing a mass of 5,000 persons so that they leaped to their feet at his word, raisinig mighty shouts that shook the rafters of the big Tindley Temple, the Rev. G. Wilson Becton secded the throngs which filled the structure, Sunday night. More than 300 persons were turned from the doors as the Gospel Feast Party closed its seventh week at the Temple. Not only was every seat in the auditorium and galleries taken, but every available foot of standing room in the aisles was taken, men and women striving to catch the import of the short, stand-up sentences which were clearly indiscriminately. For more than thirty minutes he talked, shouted or yelled. It is obvious that the Rev. Mr. Becton is a student of crowd psychology. His entrance during the preliminary song services, conducted his song leader, Evans T. M. Yrick, was audible. In the midst of the service while handclapping and shouting were high, a small rear door opened, and, draped in a long black outer cloak, the evangelist entered and made his way to the foot of a picture of Christ. He spent three minutes in silent prayer before the portrait as increase increased its volume of shouting.

MOTHER SCHOOL CLOSING The fifth annual summer school closing of the MOTHER SCHOOL on June 10, 2014, here, and at Price Memorial Church, Atlantic City, Singing by the 26-voice Atlantic Choir, a cantata by Paul Blias, was the feature. Ferdinand Molyley directed, Ms. Muyrkens, the choreographer, Certificates were presented to 35 students and presentations were made by Mr. and Mrs. Muyrkens, director and dean, respectively, of the play in unison with no apparent signal. Beginning his short talks, inter- spersed with music, the first words of the evening spoken by the evazellist were: "I want all who have religious scripus which do not fit in, to with- draw." His only response was an increase of 10 percent in the cost of not stamping. The spark continued. "I want to talk to you about settling that old account. How many of you have religion?" All hands flared up. "I want you to get everything out of the book. And when each of you was born, God began to keep a record. When I see the 'numbers' banker, the bootlegger, and the back slider. I know that God is keeping his record too. He can look at His book and tell who church at such a time. Name in Church Book "Do not think that you will be able to go to Heaven just because your name is on the church book. You are not a man of your looking determine that. You will have to stop fooling with the devil, to do right and not wrong." More music was played. "I will receive and obey his commands, it will be easier and easier for you to settle the old account. "If you do not have your name on God's book, it is because you do not know how to live." "How are you living today? Is your record clear and clean? Do you have a private speakeasy? Do you have a private bootlegger? Do you have some other kind of husband or wife? If so, you must settle up that old account." Nothing Between The orchestra played, "There is Nothing Between." "Those of you have continued the event, your parents from the Lord; those who have driven your wife's children, your husband's children from the door—do you have that between you and me? Have you had friends and hate? Have you returned the money you stole? It is not how you have lived, but how you are living now, you may have made mistakes, but you have lived your life and given up devolution?" "Those of you who have nothing between you and the Lord, stand." Women Screamed Practically the entire audience stood. Not only women screamed, but men walked here and there under the influence of the evangelist's words. The orchestra played "I am a child of the King," as the Rev. Mr. Becton offered a prayer. Appealing to the simians, he asked where they will presence? There are some of you on the last round. You have been warned; in various ways to change from sin. You have said, I'll go on this week and then I'll change. Now is the time. There is a son in the gallery the prayers of whose mother are following him. Won't you come down?" 25 Hit the Trail A man in the gallery arose and went down to the mourners' bench which we sat in, twenty-five persons. Two women sitting on the front gallery row gave the audience much concern here when they began to shout and scream. Various persons in the audience arose and began to tell of benefits derived from the services while the orchestra played syncopated media- "Consecrated" Dime Near the end of the service, the Rev. Becton asked for the "conservated dimes." He asked the members to give one dime, and make a wish which would be fulfilled with believability be fulfilled. "If you have great sorrow, give two consecrated dimes," he urged. While more than half a dozen users were passing the boxes, the sons service continued punctures, a large volume of shouts and testimony of persons telling of help received. An Impressive Exit If the entrance of the evangelist had been dramatic, his exit at the close of the service was impressive. As the orchestra played a recessional, an attendant aided him, close to him, then slow march the door while voices yet clamorous penetrated the walls of brick and vibrated the girders of steel. As the door engulfed him, the meeting was ended, and the audience slowly wended its way out and homeward, waving a hand in a vow of owl clock. They had been in the church packed and jammed, for five hours. PAIN so easily relieved How to treat Headaches Neuralgia Neuritis or check a Cold WHY ARE some women so patient with pain?

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (August 26, 1905) The success of the National Negro Business League meeting in New York has, we believe, a stimulating effect. It has led the men who went and those who only read of its proceedings, and now it is said that the meeting of the League should be held in New York. We want the business League here they will have to get up on their hind legs and hustle, and a good honest hustle at that. We want the Business Men's League in this city ought to accomplish something. Most of the men now composing it have made their own business, and are able to something with this very important organization. We shall look for results. The success of the National Negro Business League meeting in New York has, we believe, been made possible by the men of this city, those who went and those who only read of its proceedings, and now it is said that the meeting was made possible by the people of the business. 1907. If the people of Baltimore want the Business League here they will have to get up on their hind legs and hustle, and a good business is made by their own business. The newly organized Business Men's League in this city ought to accomplish something. Most of the businessmen in the men's own business a success and they ought to be able to do something with this very important organization. We shall look for results.

Soap and Paint Shortage in Public Schools Soap and Paint Shortage in Public Schools If some way could be devised to prevent little children from putting their hands on the walls of school rooms, no school principal would face the problem of keeping his building clean. A survey of colored school buildings in Baltimore last week by an AFRO reporter indicates made slow progress in providing clean interior walls with white school walls. At School No. 112 on Lauren Street, where plastered hallways are painted white, there has been no painting for the past ten years. In that time millions of little hands have left their smudges upon the white school walls, which are gray, the nearly black. Conditions are worse, it appears, at School No. 102, Jefferson and Bond Streets, where dirty walls have had no paint for forty years, and janters' scrub brushes have scoured from the walls. The study of the AFRO reporter's investigation indicates either that the school board is short of paint and painters or the schools themselves are short of janters and soap. To have Baltimore school children come back from vacation and live inside the dirty walls of public schools for another nine months. If some way could be devised to prevent little children from putting their hands on the walls of school rooms, no school principal would face the problem of colored school buildings in Baltimore last week by an AFRO reporter indicates that the city has made slow progress in providing clean interiors in some school buildings. School No. 112 on Laurens Street, where plastered walls were once painted, has been no painting for the past ten years. In that time millions of little hands have left their smudges upon the once whitened walls, which soon became gray, then nearly black. School No. 102, Jefferson and Bond Streets, where dirty walls have had no paint for forty years, and janitors' scrub brushes have scoured from the wood work of the paint. The school district's investigation indicates either that the school board is short of paint and painters or the schools themselves are short of janitors and soap. Certainly it is a disgrace to have Baltimore schools back from inaction and live inside the dirty walls of public schools for another nine months. A Haircut for 60 cents Harlem journeymen barbers are guaranteed $25 a week in their pay envelopes, following the settlement of the recent strike there. Harlem barbers are going to the customers in the shape of 60-cent haircuts and 25-cent shaves; these are the union prices which obtain in all downtown shops. Before the strike, haircuts were 40 cents and shaves 15 cents. Another result of the strike was the closing of the all-night barber shop and substitution of union barbers in other downtown shops. The New York barber situation is interesting because if the unions are able to maintain their gains, barbers in other cities north and south will be quick to imitate. If unionism succeeds in Harlem, the barber task will be less difficult which may help it retrieve something of its former lustre. Like the shoemaker and the blacksmith, fifty years ago, the barber was one of the wealthiest and most influential citizens of the community. He was not only tradesman but hair artist and specialist and in still earlier times, a philologist and in good letter, still earlier, surgeon and dentist. Lately came the safety razor and irisule styles which banned beards and mustaches. Receipts in many barbers shops fell rapidly from 50 to 20 percent in the last few years in businesses where returns were greater, and the barber crafted its standards to let others in. Unlike the druggist and the grocer who expanded their lines to keep up with modern business progress, the barber has virtually stood still, and the barber's business has as his predecessor did thirty to forty years ago. In rare cases, manicuring and Turkish bath departments have been successfully added to shops. When they came the barber's biggest opportunity, Women discovered that they wanted their hair bobbed, washed, ironed and marcelled. Barber shops were equipped to handle this business, but they lacked knowledge of the various "systems" of hair treatment. They bobbed down upon the "hair business" of the weaker sex, beauty parlors owned and operated by women sprang up all over the country side by side with barber shops. The barbers had muffed their chance. The barber's salary was 150 to $150 for having their hair "washed"; men pay 35 cents for a hair cut. Beauty shops for women have regular hours and the managers and journeywomen get a two to four weeks' vacation. Most barber shops are cheap in price, irregular in work the employees the whole year through. Unionizing of Harlem's barber shops, according to Mr. Rienzi B. Lemus, national president of the Railway Dining Car Cooks and Watters, has resulted in a bootleg barber shops and outlaw barbers. We see no such dark cloud ahead. We trust the union barber shop must, (1) that barbers because of higher pay and shorter hours will be available, (2) that the service and appointments in union barber shops will make the operation of any other kind of shop unpopular and unprofitable. Divided by Centuries Advising her daughter last week, the mother of Amy. Micee Sample McPherson, white, California evangelist said: She ought to go back to Angelus Temple relish the joy of the night. We both had face lifts. There's nothing wrong in that, is there? She ought to be proud of how much more beautiful she is with her new face lift. So much for California. In Philadelphia, one "whirling and dancing evangelist," the Rev. G. Wilson Becton, with many changes of clothes, occupies the pulpit in a Philadelphia Methodist wardrobe containing a half dozen overcoats, forty suits, seven hats and seventeen pairs of shoes. Clearly, modern evangelism in Christian images can be pretty and men well-tailored, but it is a long way away evangelist who went into the wilderness bare-footed with a rament of skins and locusts for food. So much for California. In Philadelphia, one "whistling and dancing evanesekl," the Rev. Charles W. McCormick, a pastor, occupies the pulpit in a Philadelphia Methodist church this week. Friends, calm for him a wardrobe containing a half dozen overcoats, forty shirts, and a pair of jeans. "Clearly, modern evangelism in Christian churches demands that women be pretty and men well dressed, but it is a long way, from the first century, when the church had bare-rooted with a raiment of skins and locusts for food.

To the Editor: What is the American Negro do to make a living? It is impossible to answer. The alarming way in which Negroes are forced to give up their jobs is a very serious matter for Negroes. Highly organized methods are now being employed against them. It is quite evident that after this present period of depression few Negroes will be able to work at their former places of employment. Something must be done. Negroes and the阳县的다일의 허가일을 하고 to get a reasonably practical solution to this problem. The Garvey and Communist movements offer two solutions, but the ultimate solution lies within the American Negro himself. In order that we may get more people to see the necessity of helping themselves out of this precarious condition and actually to work toward that definite end, will you kindly use your influence and appeal to the substantial organizations such as churches, fraternities and other welfare organizations to encourage and promote more Negro enterprises such as stores, banks, insurance companies, farming enterprises or large-scale, and manufacturing industries, or more.

The�, as a result of her own, the� is a good one for them. Few days ago a white girl, 10 years of age, was kidnapped from Valparalso, Indiana, by a white man and carried off to Wisconsin, where he was captured in company with a white-old white girl, who was killed by a white girl. The� was kidnapped by a white man in South Bend, Indiana, and 24 hours later was found dead two blocks from her home. The� was two cases coming as they do upon the health of an brutal lyinging of two Negros at the Marion, Ind., should indelibly impress upon them the mind of all white folks the fact that colored men have no money on attacking women, and that for every alleged man against the women, a fennish-legged man is an animal and more fennish-legged.

Indiana Needs to Guard its Young White Girls from White Abductors and Rapists Thinks this to the Reader. To the Editor. During the last few days, the white people of Indiana in particular, and of America in general, were kidnapped by a white man. Few days ago a white girl, 10 years of age, was kidnapped from Valparaiso, Indiana, by a white man and carried off with his victim. On the 27th of this month, an eight-year-old white girl was kidnapped by a white man in South Carolina, and later was found dead two blocks from her home. These two cases, coming as they do upon the heels of the brutal lynching of two Negroes at a white school, were equal and more fierce than mind of all white folks the fact that colored men have no monoply on attacking women, and that for every alleged crime against white women by a white crime against them by white men. Instead of teaching their daughters to shun and fear all white girls, they were forced against white men who ravish and debauch not only white women, but also women of all other races. Of taking and writing so much about the "Negro rapist," let white parents guard their eight and ten-year-old daughters against auto-robbery, off for the purge of rape and murder. Perhaps the parents of these two white girls were the same. They were at Marion, Ind. Perhaps they said: "These black brutes ought to be lynched. Lynching is too much." They were lynching. Is it the only way to protect white women and keep migrants in their place?" Actually, they say or think this, there are countless millions of other white parents who did. Now let them ponish, and let them lynch, and actifying young white girls from kidnappers. The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, September 6, 1930 Re's Not Married.

To the Editor: Forever must we be grateful to Lincoln and his supporters who bestowed upon us the "bounty of freedom," yet the "bounty of freedom" was needed and was sought to make the Emancipation Proclamation permanently effective, as the following (copied from an Alexandra [Va.] paper of sixty-six years ago) will show: U. S. Court Room, Alex. Va., July 23, 1864. Freedom for the Negro in America Was Not Wholly a Gift. To the Editor: We are grateful to Lincoln and his supporters who bestowed upon us the "boon of freedom," yet we need not forget that the help of the freedmen was needed and was sought to empower them more effectively, as the following (copied from an Alexandra [VA.] paper of sixty-six years ago) will show: | U. S. Court Room, Alex. Va., 21, July 1894. To the colored men of Virginia:--The undersigned offers to a limited number of able bodied and brave men, who are willing to enlist in the service of the United States, for $200 each, to be paid when mustered into the service. Each man will also receive another hundred dollars from the United States, for $200 each, making for the year's service, about five hundred dollars, and rations. Every man will in this way be able to secure a comfortable home for himself and family, to be his and their forever, and all will be able to show their gratitude to the generals and patriots, to the veterans and sisters and mothers who in years past were torn from them by the cruel traders and seamen, and will also aid all who enlist in procuring homes for their families, and will attend to the business at his office, in the upper story of the Postoffice building. Alexandria, Va. F. H. M. MURRAY. Howard Student Contends that Day Law School is Practical Method of Turning out Lawyers in the State. Can Base Confidence. To the Editor. One of the most preposterous, unauthetic, and ridiculous articles which I have read in the newspaper is the article appearing in a Washington paper for Friday, August 15, 1930, entitled, "The New York Times, January 1930." An honest observer can upon first instance detect the inefficiency, as a whole, of our Negro lawyers, and we must accept this with all candoor and fairness, for any student to spend eight hours somewhere working for a living, study law at night and expect to be paid for it. We must accept the legal profession has made and is making and considering that as lawyers our group are forced unlike the doctor and dentist, to compete with lawyers. It is time we should "Harvardize Howard." It is time we should make some advancement. Again I am forced to remind the critic that we will continue to the white schools of rigid training and intellectual discipline, as Harvard and a few other schools, we as a race will continue to the white race three fourths of our legal trade. The resignation of those six white professors is regrettable—perhaps, but my experience as a outstanding lawyer in this city proves, without a doubt, that we have just as competent and just as able Negro lawyers in Washington as those who have been so great is so great but that his place cannot be filled. The loss of prestige some say. Well it may sound harsh when I say it, but it is none the less true, that the time has come when we should cease riding on the prestige of our white brothers for, when they cease to lend us their prestige, we fail because of our lack of power and confidence. We don't need prestige. What we do need, however, is a profound knowledge of the law and the designation of six white professors will by no means prohibit us from securing it. If it does then we are not worth of the opportunity of studying law. J. BYRON HOPKINS, Jr. Howard University School of Law. Thinks Hoover Connected with the K.K.K. Baptists Worse than Politicians. Lict-Col. Davis Lacks Courage. I am interested in your editorial of last week under the caption, "The President Speaks." I think you are quite right in saying, "If Mr. Coolidge was silent, Mr. Hoover is a sphinx," speaking of the Negro question, for I know of no President who has refrained from speaking of the Negro in any manner whatsoever, as had Herbert Clark Hoover. Of course he has never deceived me for I have always felt that he was connected (and it is alleged that he is) with the Ku Klux Klan. He has had their support, consequently, have plagued him and now, consider him the enemy the Negro The letter or rather the few lines to the N.A.A.C.P. signed by Hoover's secretary, Walter L. Browne, were not so damned hypocritical. The letter said, "Every decent citizen must condemn the lynchings of both justice and democracy." Hoover must have learned by now that there is no justice in America for black people, and if we ever had to hell during the war and has not gotten back.

F. COLES The Proofreader Talks. Following up what was last week concerning the purchasing and studies—and constant consultation—and corrected toward the correction of faults in spelling, grammar and diction, it may be well to say that those who hope to write with even tolerable correctness should make up their minds that they cannot expect to do so merely on what is covered in so-called English courses in high school and college. These courses pre-suppose that the matters mentioned—except spelling, grammar and diction—are covered and completed in the lower grades. But as a matter of fact, spelling and grammar have been neglected, or the case of grammar at least, not mentioned. Some thirty or more years ago, teachers began to detour around the difficulties of grammar by denaturing them for it, so-called language lessons. These lessons, or courses, in various forms have almost or entirely crowded grammar out of the schools and the reformers did not stop there; they began diminishing the reading of the well-selected and carefully written lessons in the readers, substituting a greater emphasis on the daily publications, the local newspapers, especially. The results have been disastrous; but the victims like those afflicted with the disease do not know that they are affected. Grammar is difficult, it is true, but one might as well expect to become proficient in grammar, learning anatomy, or to attempt to learn correct diction without a solid grounding in reading and writing, to short-circuit language by shouting around grammar—in the teaching of English—would hardly attempt to learn, in or any foreign language that way.

Cochran, writing in the Washington (daily) news, protesting against the use of horseback riding on Sunday morning, which he asserts is no longer necessary, bring this up: "Somehow we don't seem to know how to ride a horse, we always done, even when the necessity for doing them no longer exists. We are old and we don't ride anymore when gentlemen ride horseback, and that the two buttons on such coats were put there to help us ride, but we don't much horseback riding now and gentlemen don't wear swords, but they still wear split-tail coats and no tailor's shirt." Crying Babies Draw No Crowds Crying Babies Draw No Crowds Tik of Howard B. Young, of New York, before the AFRO-AMERICAN Employees' Bureau, D.C., August 30, stenographically reported. Sometimes ago I visited Krutown, Littleton, and our party and cut a few ladies. I noticed that at one but the ladies hut. In our party and cut a few ladies. I noticed that at one but the ladies hut. Here I noticed that they all crowded around the door so much that many could not get in. In the first but they had passed up, and what in the second but they were all corrugating them that they were all crowding around the door. I went to the first but and looked in. There was a baby on the floor and so smiling and attractive that I picked panchinny. At the other but there was a little fellow chub and strong and so smiling and attractive that I stopped and stopped to admire that little baby. I tell you this to point out this fact, I think that as a whole we cry to me. Some years ago there was a man here in Baltimore whom everybody never well. He always had a pain in the stomach or a pain in the side, a little rheumatism in foot or a corn stench. That is the biggest trouble with us, we are always whining about what somebody should do for us. From the browns down, everybody is whining. Let me tell you about a little experience in Virginia. Now, I hope you will be able to help me. I have just come from there and had a mighty pleasant stay. But at this little town in certain section of Virginia, I had to work and full of ruses. When I asked some of the people why the roads were good, I asked the flower gardens and the roads were good. Here, I found that the people have good roads because they had the money to pay the tax papers and secured them. They were able to do something for them. It is the same way with the newspapers, not so much with the AFRO-AMERICAN which heads the list as with the newspapers, the most of them are always whining. The message that I want to leave with you is to stop crying and do AFRO-AMERICAN. I thank you. The Laughs Behind the News The Laughs Behind the News By BALP MATTHEWS Woman was Labor Day, and most of the people have been out of work so long they spent half the day looking up the word to find out what it means. It was supposed to be a holiday, but every day a afraid to leave the dear person else would be hired in their places before they got back. Times are getting so tight that a lot of men have to sleep on the job all night so they will be sure they have it in the morning. You can't tell your best friend where you work for fear he'll go down carib and tell the boss you've done. Some people only go to work late at night so from being followed, Factory workers are being held up in alley and their identification cards are stolen. Too many laborers have been riding to work in Fords. They will have to keep somewhere else from beating them there. The Communists want Congress to pay the unemployed weekly insurance for the average man won't have to look for a job that is about all he can earn anyway. Of course, a man can live for many years without doing any work at all. Just look at all the people who hold government jobs. The hardest work some people do is carry home their pay envelopes, and the less they do the bigger they --- One evidence that times are tight is the number of people who work at the same job. When a jelly gets to the point where he can't do anything for himself, he generally winds up by doing something for the "peepal." Most politicians are those who are unaware that they don't want the nerve to hold anybody up with a gun. There are so many people out of work that a professional looper can't find a comfortable place to sit down. The park benches are so full that it looks like the Fresh Air Society is holding a year-round convention. Some people work so hard to earn a living that they never really enjoy life until they get fired. Some people don't know where their next meal is coming from, and when next meal has the right know what it is after they get it. Some but has one day to celebrate out of the year, while capital time the whole three-fifty-one. Of course there isn't much fun in celebrating when all the summer res- orts are closing down and you don't know where to find another job until next spring.

Victorious in routing his enemies at the recent session of the Golden Jubilee of the National Baptist Convention in Chicago, President L. K. Williams demanded the scalps of three of the opposition on the closing day, Monday. That is the way of modern religion as represented by the largest Negro religious organization in the country. Turning to a passage Mr. Williams likened himself to Elijah who mediated under a juniper bush. Perhaps the National Baptist Convention, incorporated, could have found a far more fitting passage in the 1938-40: "We have heard that it hath been said, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. "But I say unto you, that ye resist not evil; but whosoever shall sneeze the thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." Young men and women trying to be honest with themselves and in their attitude towards religion will find little to inspire them in the proceedings at the recent session of this commission. There was more real hatred among those men and women gathered in the name of the Meek and Lovely Nazareme and more bent towards selfishness than could have been found in all the gambling dens of the Windy City. The kind of greed and selfishness found there was the worst of it, for it came堕ed in plough garb and ostensibly in sackcloth and ashes. ... Dr. Channing H. Tobias, general secretary of the colored men's department of the Y.M.C.A., perhaps typified the consensus of opinion when he came to the meeting when, at the recent session of the National Negro Business League, he declared that "in the last analysis, Negro business in this formative period through which it is passing is going to depend upon the loyalty of Negro business." Six years ago when this column declared that the Negro buyer must not only support Negro business but must also subsidize it by buying at a higher price, there was a flood of letters setting forth the opinion that Negro business men should not be Negro business men, because they were able to meet the competition of white concerns. That the Negro business man, the Negro buying public and the Negro economist is coming to this view is illustrated by practically the whole of discussion at the league session. UNLESS NEGROES, BEGINNING ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR LEADERS, ARE WILLING TO MAKE IT A RELIGION TO SPEND A PART OF MONEY WITH MECHANIC CONCRECION, EVEN WHEN THE PRICES ARE A LITTLE HIGHER, THERE WILL NEVER BE ANY LARGE SCALE NEGROE BUSINESS. This does not mean, of course, that Negro business must not have as its goal equal efficiency and the same selling prices as that of white business. But Negro business must develop the development period, we must see to it that Negro business is given that show which will make it catch up. There should be such a business and civic organization in every city that the dominant influence in that city or town would compel co-opera- Here in Baltimore, and in other cities, for instance, are hundreds of Negro teachers teaching Negro children, doctors, teachers preaching to Negro congregations, and even business men selling to Negro customers real estate, insurance and other commodities, who would curt up its sales in their own homes to sell them a suit of clothes or a pound of sugar. Just as there are hundreds of white men who champion the rights of Negro students in their philanthropy to Negro institutions, who would not give them jobs as clerks in their factories or financial institutions, there are Negro students who would not keep and withen their pens, who would not go one step out of their way to trade with Negro business men and women. This may be a point of view for the white man who keeps the best jobs for his own sons and the sons of others who can marry his daughters, but what of the Negro who has no concern for making business for themselves, one which may marry his daughter? Every Negro leader, every Negro father and mother, every Negro young man and woman, should ask himself: How am I spending my dollar more than this, the Negro community should ask him the same question. --- While Representative Hamilton Fish and his investigating committee are running down a few Communist juveniles in health camps, his attention might be turned to Gen. George W. Bush, who is about edition of the Ku Klux Klan is about to get under way. This new menace to American liberty comes in the form of an "American fascist", and while the main purpose of its promoters is to amuse the public, it is also allowed to develop, its consequences may be more serious. Like the Ku Klux Klan, this new organization was conceived in prejudice and has started out with the idea of purpose cities and driving them back to abandoned Southern farms. According to press reports, the "American fascist" have secured 400 members at $1 per, during the first weeks of the organization campaign. Here are 21,830 potential mobsters and lynchers, openly organized to rob American Negro citizens of their right to work wherever they can pet jobs. They will not go into their courts, they will not be allowed to enter the procedure and their very existence as an organization spits in the face of not only the American flag, but the American Constitution as well. If Congress wants a chance to investigate something, here is a chance for the Fish commission to investigate whether it does not believe it, let them: read over the bloody records of the Klu Klux Klan. --- Only a Few Large Cities in the North Offer Any Chance During Next Decade. Nor Hope for Decades to Come By KELLY MILLER George H. White, of North Carolina, was the last Negro woman to Congress till the coming of one Congress believed without a Negro representation it is entirely possible that there be another halftus of at least a decade. When a Negro was sent to Congress from a Northern district, the race complacently took it, and the grant that it would continue to be represented in Congress in precedence granted that it would continue to be completed. A permanent plan for apportionment has yet to be established for the House of Representatives. The tentative plan keeps the House of Representatives in the fifth term of its members. The census office is required to have the population statistics data available by the opening of the next session of Congress. The experience either a gain or a loss in representation by virtue of the shifts in population. Even those States which retain the critical representation will have to be redistributed because of internal shifts. The population schedules have not yet been counted, by race. The Negro hope for Congressional representation in the large cities where race floor bansbers who, by existing race predicates, are penned up in segregated areas New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, St. Louis, are the only new cities from which the population should be expected during the present decade. In 1920, these cities contained a Negro population of 153,000, 134,000, 108,000, and 70,000, respectively, and uncertain. A twenty-five percent increase in each instance would be a reasonable allowance. According to the present tentative congressional district, will contain something like 361,000 persons. It is only where the Negros maintain a considerable majority over the whites that they may be expected to dominate political fortune of any political unit. This would require over 140,000 Negroes to insure a Negro cerman. When we consider that in industry, white city concentrated in any single district, the difficulties of the situation begin to loom upon us. Chicago is our most probable instance. The most enthusiastic Chicago hardly claims more than the rest of the city. Many of these are outside of the limits of the first district. There will hardly be enough left in that district to constitute a majority on the board. But district lines are subject to political manipulation. The process of gerrymandering is known of old. Should the exigencies of the new allegiance be met by some uncalled good hap. There were out of 106,000 Negroes in Harlem in 1928. These were split between two Congressional districts by some uncalled good hap. There were out of 106,000 Negroes in Harlem in 1928. These were split between two Congressional districts by some uncalled good hap. There were out of 106,000 Negroes in Harlem in 1928. There is hardly any way to see how the redistricting of the State can add to the Negro's chosen unless he can persuade the governor of gerrymander a district in his favor. As to St. Louis, the only hope the Negro ever had since the district lines were laid in 1910, rested upon the thinning out of the white T. were only 3,000 Negroes the whole city had. The number of the quota of a Congressional district when its quote is full. It is not conceivable that the number has doubled in the last decade. Missouri loses three Congressmen by the new census hardly likely that we will be able to boundaries, the Negro institution will reach anything like a majority. Philadelphia will perilis have Negroes enough to dominate a district, but here again they are not only too widely scattered, but that they will be able to wait a decade or before it comes into this category. Cleveland and Detroit are possible candidates in the remoter decades. When the new lines are although there is interest in bringing them back, Negro will be able to dominate any Congressional district politically, yet the interdecrease shifting of population lends potentiality to the hope that, even the tenure is not continuous, the Negro Congress before the decade is over. As to the future, we may rest assured that the continuing migration of Northern migration, and the increasing tendency of segregation with the rise of the race, will dominate in at least a half dozen Congressional districts in the decades to come.

WILLIAMS RESIGNS AND IS RE-ELECTED Few Delegates Remaining Monday Refuse to Permit Him to Quit. FOUR OUSTED President's Enemies are Given the Gate. CHICAGO—In what many delegates here called a "showdown," Dr. L. K. Williams, re-elected president of the National Baptist Convention, incorporated, forced the ousting of Dr. S. N. Vass, L. C. Crenshaw and W. T. Fleming, said to have been leaders of the opposition to the president, when he resigned and was again re-elected to the body. The move came suddenly at a meeting of the Golden Jubilee convention Monday, at which but few of the delegates were present when, without warning, Dr. Williams presented his resignation. Called upon to give his reason, Dr. Williams explained that he had been bitterly assailed by men in the convention. It was brought out that Dr. Vass, the Rev. Mr. Crenshaw and the Rev. Mr. Fleming had written a series of articles in which the president was flayed. These men, he clared, had sought to uphold upon himself and with administration and had charged him with being connected with the Pierson murder Are Read Out Immediately following the statement of Dr. Williams, the executive board of the body voted that it would not accept his resignation, but instead would ask the body to just Vass, Fleming, and Crenna Bush. vote of those present, resolution endorsing the stand of Dr. Williams and ousting the three men, was passed. In an address during the afternoon session, Dr. Williams likened himself unto the prophet Elijah, who, after having put his enemies to rout and ruin, hid himself to a juniper bush to meditate. There he was found by those who said that they were with him who inquired as to whether he was going to ask for but rather send him, declaring that not only they with him, but seventy thousand were with him. Vass a Veteran Dr. S. N. Vass, a field secretary in the Sunday School department, is a veteran leader in the National Baptist Convention circles, and was a partisan of Dr. W. W. Hirohara. He charged Williams with usurping the power of the convention and with being the tool of Dr. E. W. D. Issacs. The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, September 6, 1930 NEW YORK—Governor John H.

Miss Dowe Has Pretty Home Wedding MEETS STRANGE DEATH Fighting in the ranks of the-colonists during the Revolutionary War was one of the prices that many slaves paid for their freedom. During this struggle for independence of the white colonists from English tyranny, they refused to entertain any suggestion to accord the same freedom to their slaves. As early as 1778, Dr. Hopkins, a prominent Abolitionist preacher, advocated that the Continental Congress pass a law that would end the Negro slaves would turn against the colonists and sld. Great Britain. Early Prejudices Not only did the colonists refuse this proposal, but some went so far as to forbid the enlistment c. black soldiers in the Continental Army. Such men as Alexander Hamilton, Major General Nathaniel Green, and Col. John Laurens advocated the enlistment of Negroes in the army, but they met strong opposition. George Washington was impartial in directing the attitude of the Union officers, though he ought to have favored the plan. In some sections Negroes were rejected altogether; in others, like Rhode Island, they were formed into separate companies and battalions. Many slaves served without upromise of freedom. Although Massachusetts in 1775 ruled that no slaves whatever be admitted to the army, the pressure for soldiers became so great in 1778 that they changed their policy and ordered the enlistment of a regiment of "Negroes, Mulattoes, or Indians" in which the higher officers were to be white. Connecticut and New Hampshire also raised similar corps of Negroes. The consent of the master was necessary. South Carolina hit upon the extraordinary idea of giving slaves as bounty to white recruits. One sword, negro, was the age of ten and foe, was given for each and every year of service. This same proposition was advanced in Virginia, but was opposed by James Madison who declared it would be just as easy to free and enlist themselves as to enlist white soldiers. English Offered Freedom Lord Dummon offered immediate freedom to all slaves who deserved the rebels and joined the British for George III from three-fourths to three-eighths of her slaves to the British.

NAT CASH, VETERAN ACTOR, DEAD IN N.Y. NAT CASH, VETERAN ACTOR, DEAD IN N.Y. Is Second Performer to Die After Filling Part in "Hot Rhythm." SUGGEST "HOODOO" Two Others Quit Role of Condemned Murderer. NEW YORK - The death of Nat Cash, 42, veteran stage performer, who just the day before his demise had been assigned to portray the role of the doomed murderer in a travesty on "The Last Mile" in the musical revue, "Hot Rhythm," strengthened the belief of some members of the cast that the role was "hoodooed." Cash is the second actor to die after having played the part, the first death being that of James W. Jackson, on August 19. Jackson, originally cast for the part met his death from gas escaping from a leaky gas tube. Because of his death the opening of the show was delayed and John Shepard assigned to the part. Two Quit Cast After the first performance was over, however, Sheppard quit the part upon hearing from members of the cast about the fate of Jackson: William Simpson left the cast after finding out what had happened to his predeceors. A chorus boy, James Rolles, essayed the role on the next night, but never locate him being futile. Cash, who was the show's stage director, gave the whole cast a lecture on superstitions.

While in Europe Mr. Jones played to the delight of royalty. Both American and European critics proclaim him as an artist of most unusual ability. home to study the part in order that he, himself, might play it the next day. The following morning he was found dead in a chair in his home with the script of the play in his lap. Death was caused by heart failure.

Panama Producer Advances Remedies for Show Business Only the Co-operation of the Public to an Extent Sufficient to Insure Adequate Salaries for Artists and Producers. Can Put Profession Back on its Feet. (Paris Bureau of the AFRO) PARIS—Leon Abbey, solo violinist, and well-known leader of orchestras has gone to Deauville, the fashionable racing centre and seaside resort where he will open the Restaurant Circ for the season. He has played in many of the leading places in Europe, South America and the United States. This is his fifth season. In 1926 he was on the Keith-Allee Circuit and at the Savoy Ballroom in New York City, in addition to broadcasting for WEF. He is said to have been the first colored conductor with his band to broadcast for this radio concern and also the first to receive a contract for recording with the Victor Company. Toured South America In 1927 he toured South America with his band playing in many of the leading establishments in Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Rio de Janeiro, San Paulo, in 1928 at the Olympia Ballroom, the Royal Opera House, and Astoria Ballroom, London, England, and also at several of the leading establishments in Berlin, Germany. In 1929 he toured Spain playing among other places at the Spanish-American Exposition at Seville, as well as at the Ambassadeurs. France he has played with his orchestra at the fashionable Chateau Madrid in the Bols de Boulogne Paris, as well as the Casina de Deauville, and the Casino de Pergola at St. Jean de Luz. Among those for whom he has played are the King of Spain, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of York, and others of the European mobility, as well as at soires of society leaders. This year he entertained at the Silver Slipper Club in London, and there were accounts of his being de- Remedies for reviving the decadent show business in colored theatres were advanced this week by William Benbow, producer, at the American Theatre at Colon, Panama. Mr. Benbow, who for many years was a familiar figure in T.O.B.A. and other theatres here, has spent several years in Panama where he has met with success: In a letter to the AFRO this week, Mr. Benbow says: "I have just read an article in the papers where Mr. Sam E. Reeves states that the show business will come back this season. Let us all pray that it does come back, and back we also pray that the theatre owners get the support due them by the general public, so they can pay the producers of shows a decent salary. Then the producers and managers of companies can head off of books, dishwashers, truck drivers and other hams, who have put the show business on the rocks. Small Salaries Helped Kill "At one time the consolidated circuit had some of our race's best talent working, but on account of small salaries and big jumps the acts could not stick. The actors had to seek work from the small and big white circuit: where they made good, but if the actors could have gotten decent salaries, they would have stuck to their own theaters. Some of these same acts and artists today would rather appear in their own theaters, as some of them are full of race pride. But the colored theater will not pay the same amount as would a colored theater bill Bill Robinson? Not Would a colored circuit pay Julies Bledsoe or Paul Roberson, or any of the other colored stars? Not Could they pay them? Yes! Well, why don't they? Because they want to make too much profit before they have made money. They must be money spent before a business is made to pay. So the theatre owners must lose money buying artists, and spend money convincing the public that there are some real artists worth seeing. There are some real artists worth seeing. Then make the business, a success. Actors Must Be Cultured "What we need are ladies and gentlemen instead of booze-fighters and barrel house artists. I remember years ago when I was a theater performer or church, they were received, dined, wined, and banqueted at the best homes of whatever city they were playing in. And they themselves as ladies and gentlemen at all times. "When such such as Black Patti Billy Kersands, McCabe & Young Isham's Octoorous State Singer's Singer's Singer's Singer's came to town they were met by the city's best people extending invitations to their homes. "If the shows arrived on Sunday, every member of the company would visit some church, where even the preacher would mention the engagement to the members of his church. Why Because they conducted themselves properly. "Now get the right meaning. I don't mean to say that there are no many ladies and gentlemen in the church, so do that the bad outnumber the good. I know the show business from its infancy days up to its present standing. "I am one of the first producers to open a tab show the next week in Benbow and Chuckham's Black Sensation, playing at school houses, halls, churches, and courthouses."

But the band later that year, ported London he had been careful to have only British subjects in his band in order to avoid complications. Later the newspapers, which had spread other things, had said of other things: that the men in his orchestra were Americans, and had been deported, were the count and the musicians, that amount to about $1,000 each for the musicians. Praised by Press Several of the European and South American newspapers have spoken in high praise of his work. The Buenos Aires newspaper "These colored gentlemen took away the nasty taste of the previous offering. They played, sang, danced and nobody else did, then. Leon Abbey's orchestra, in the words of Shakespeare, is a 'Wow.' It gave us all that hitchhiking feeling from the moment it "Mr. Abbey conducts in the Russian fashion, with a violin and a bow. He draws on his own experiences. He extracts harmony, fun, pathos, all the emotions from his ten musicians, each of whom does full credit to him for praise one of them are to use." Germany Liked Jazz The Berlin Z. Am Muttag says, "This Leon Abbey orchestra has the unexcelled Negro band and jazzes, the black singing cast disappears, and feels the African war dance of the forest. Hot Negro blood, hottest Negro rhythm, this is the big sensation of the evening." The Twelve Uhr Blatt of Berlin said similarly: "The big plus-event of the evening was Leon Abbey's Colored Band—every member of it, with their fascinating swing. If only on account of Leon Abbey one should go to see this show. Leon Abbey is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Luther Abbey, of Minneapolis, Minn., and before coming to Europe played with Rosamond Johnson five years later. Because he is a very competent violist, experienced in the interpretation of the classics. White Actress Would Play with Robeson Lillian Gish, white movie and stage actress, recently returned from abroad with the declaration that she will confine the remainder of her activities to the stage, said that she would be glad to play opposite Robeson in an American production of "Othello." "I have not been asked to play opposite Mr. Robeson in an American production of Shakespeare's Othello, but if he is, as one hears, the greatest actor of Othello in the world; I should be glad to play opposite him," he said.

We have been companies traveling over the T.O.B.A. with real first class artists, but lost them on account of not being able to pay them salaries promised them. They would not stick; then the manager, to keep an engagement, would have so severe a reputation that artists placed as the owner of the theatre would deduct whatever he liked if the company did not have the contracted number of artists in his show. So to protect his salary or percentage he would have to hire disks, discs and other equipment that meant nothing to the show business, but disaster.

Again from Station A-F-R-O, the voice of Baltimore, comes to you, through the circulation system; the monarch of broadcasting systems, and your humble servant, Levi H. Jolley, at the mike. Last week, we told you of the oncestance dance at the New Albert Auditorium, which was, we know, a great success. The affair, with the Ambassadors holding down the musical end, was a huge success, and in the past, society clubs, it was "exquisite." The last twilight trip of the Regular Fellows Club down the bay on the steamer Avalon was a sad occasion to many. In fact, I believe that many a young woman or two who went aboard the boat when that of that being her last time she could sit lovingly on the top deck with the cowboy of her dreams or the collegiate yap of her desires. LOOK, AHOY. . . Guess who we have as a guest artist over this station this week. You are wrong. It looks like young dansuele, Miss Audrey H. Hill, who has won a place in local dance annals by her unique and exceptional intermittent dances. She is a member of the PAL group. Now we will hear Miss Hill tell why she likes dancing and the type that she most enjoys doing. HELLO FRIENDS: This is Audrey Hill speaking. The announcer, L. H Jolley, invited me to broadcast to you over this national hook-up, and after a short argument trying to show him why I could not answer for me, I could not ever in the ratio preparing to do my best to interest you. Dancing Why do I like dancing? Well, why does everyone like dancing? Now, that is a question sure enough. Personally, I like dancing because it is fun and an opportunity to express my inner emotions. That is practically all dancing is, anyway. To be a very good dancer one has to be highly imaginative and a dancer's basic skill is attributed to his or her imaginativeness. What does dancing do for us? I'll answer that one. Very strenuous dancing will cause a person to lose energy and the right amount of dancing will tend to make a person gain. Then, too, there is the kind of dancing that causes the muscles to over-develop. For example, "for dancing" that we all love well, will cause the muscles to over-develop and become hard and ugly. Interpretative dancing, when done correctly, one "a figure you love to do." The only possible way I see to remedy these faults, is to secure the advice and instruct you to dance and tell within a couple of seconds the type of dancing you are best suited for, whether it be a classical, a contemporary, an aesthetic or acrobatic. Dancing teachers are not mind readers, but when it comes to dancing they surely do know their busi- Oriental Dancing If there is any kind of dancing I adore, it is Oriental dancing. Somehow, Oriental dancing fascinates me. Maybe it is because of the constant beating with it, Oriental music, or perhaps it is because I'm given a chance to be free once more from the waist: line down. These people look upon the Oriental dancer as being vulgar simply because she wrings and twists her bdy as people of Oriental lands do. The Oriental dancer as being vulgar has the emotions, customs, and ideas of the Orient on her mind and soul.

Former Local Musicians Prosper. By W. LLEWELLYN WILSON The large group of citizens who attended the music festival sponsored by the playground Athletic League evidenced evidence of the interest that local Negroes have in musical leisure time activities. Notwithstanding the fact that the team often many of our group are engaged at work, over two thousand gatherers, exclusive of the many active participants, who made the program possue. The program began with demonstrations of the tag activities developed at the several playground centers maintained by the team during the summer of these musical games, pantomimes and songs. The several playground leaders with the co-operation of the Musical League made possue a very interesting and at the same time an illuminating exhibition of the results of supervised play with music as a co-ordinating force. The second part of the program was sponsored and conducted by the department of music or the new yorker college and liberal league which is headed by Gerald Allen, the first Negro field leader, to be appointed here. The music department of the maycourt maycourt recently retained as director, arranged the program which included, a band concert, community singing, and a series of interpretive dances. thirty-one band, under the direction of A. Jack Thomas, furnished a splendid program of classic and popular music which can be the gamut of the orchestra. contributions from "Martina" to the very latest popular dance numbers. Mr. Thomas and his band entered into the new yorker league's effort, their portion of the program was delightful. Mr. Thomas gave a very soulful interpretation of our own Clarence White's suite "Bandana Sketches." Miss Audrey Hill, assisted by a group of children, gave a terpsichorean interpretation of Drida's well known ballet, which was an outstanding feature of the afternoon's program. Miss Hill, a pupil of Sheldon Hoskins, the well known local dancing master, proved herself a splendid dancer. And Miss Coulson are to be congratulated on the success of their effort which should be measured in terms of the unexplored possibilities of a recreation music program, rather than in terms of actual musical achievement.

Just for Luck. Sometimes it pays to have a hobby, at least that's what one ooches think at Belair thinks about the matter. In the jail-yard the sheriff, his deputies and their friends find nothing better than a good game of horseshoes. Each day congregates a friendly engagement with Dobbin's cast-offs. And if you look closely, you will see among the Nordics a gentleman of unmistakeable sable complexion, whose style of pithing is like a lady's tail talking. And if you stick around long enough you will observe that this individual is defecating every opponent to face him. The game's over, the horseshoe star disappears suddenly and you won't see any man nearby. Because of his horseshoe excellence he is allowed the privilege of pitching horseshoes in the court yard (with the officers of the law. A privileged character is the man who is the goal of who envy him. But he just grins when you mention horseshoes. "Ain't horseshoes supposed to bring you luck?" he queries.

THE FILM OF "THE MISSING WOMAN" BY JOHN W. HARRIS, AUGUST 1927. MISS RUTH BAYTON PARIS—Miss Ruth Bayton, who has just left the Apollo, is to star at the Theatre Marigny on the Champs-Elysees where it is said she has an eight months' engagement. Miss Bayton, who is a native of Philadelphia, has starred in several of the leading theatres in France, Spain, and Germany. She really won the heart of the Parisian public, 'and had a suite of rooms at the Ambassadeurs, and later a de luxe apartment on the Champs-Elysees, together with a Hispano-Suiza, a white, liveried chaufeur, and a string of jewels, Jazz, a Paris writer, writing at that time said of her: "Three colored artists can really say they have conquered the Parisian public, namely, Josephine Baker, obeseist or a clarinetist set the "A" higher or a clarinetist to suit his own whim. Why, if any two orchestras, and the two musicians brought together, they'd be out of tune! It's a ridiculous musical situation! Hard on the singers. Recently a guest singer at an opera was so desperate because of the inexact tuning that he wanted to go away after all, only a trifle, but enough to throw a finished singer out. "Then it actually happened to Hans Richter that when he happened to hear the clarinetist the man answered. Tm all right, but the rest of the orchestra is too low." As a solution the Austrian proposes to set a standard "A" for world consumption, same to be recorded on a clarinetist's instrument thus establishing international harmony, or what have you. Louis Sobol, the Broadway raconteur, is responsible for the following true story: "If you must toss the hammer, heave it plenty at the gendarme on Amsterdam Avenue at 110th Street who arrived just in time Tuesday night to see a thin Negro lad of about 15 drop in the department in a dead man. When the ambulance from the Knickerbocker Hospital arrived and the interns had partially revived the boy it was learned that Ruth Bayton, and Joe Alex." Quit for Love But she suddenly left the theatre when apparently at the height of her success. In her own words, "But I abandoned it all for love. I preferred true love to diamonds, Rolls-Reyces, Hispano-Sulazes, and fame, but now I have been disillusioned, and am back again in the theatre dining and dancing with some of the smartest people in Park." Movie Story Recalled In 1928 Miss Bayton received considerable publicity in the Paris press when her name was mentioned in connection with that exhibition European monarch. It was said that an enterprising German motion picture learner of the alleged affair between Miss Bayton and the king in question had produced a picture about it, and that the film with all its rights had been bought by his government to shut up the affair. he had walked all the way from Washington.

SMITH Author of "The Dark Knight" GREY rain stabbed down on the great brown Mississippi, whipping its turbulent surface into a saffron froth. The big river, writhing and twisting in its narrow channel like a monstrous yellow snake, seemed to be savagely happy in the havoc it was creating along its flood-swept banks. Whole trees, housetops, and sometimes even entire houses, logs, and indescribable bits of debris floated along easily, or danced madly in the grasp of the seething dark soil. From the far north raced the roaring Mississippi, carrying with it mute evidences of its rapacious hunger, and leaving in its wake thousands of acres of desolated, flooded farm lands, and hundreds of small towns which were swept abruptly from peaceful security by its terrible fury. Through the very heart of the South it rushed, bringing with it death and sorrow, and leaving a trail of misery and desolation. One village, however, which stood of the men, known as "Hotshot," had on the very banks of the river, had come close to his side. One village, however, which stood on the very banks of the river, had escaped because of its high position on a sort of hill. To this village came hundreds of those made homes by the river. Quickly the Red Cross, the State, and even the government came to their rescue, bringing clothing, supplies of all kinds, and medicines. Immediately the place became a city of tents. Almost overnight the coalition merged into a semblance of order. In this time of fear and sorrow such things as the difference in colors was forgotten. Common dwellers drew people together and drove out of their minds considerations which in ordinary times would have made differences between them. the work of dark men were drafted on the levees. Each morning at daylight they fili out, following the wagons that carried the sacks, and all day they labored the sacks against the crumbling. It was back-breaking, hard work, and for it they received if any, pay. Of them accepted the situation with that philosophy inbred in the dark one of the South. They took what came and went about their labor quil. Of them, however, was not required. As he worked at his task he was like a young wolf which has caged.

Through rushed, bringing with it death of misery and desolation. of the men, known as "Hotshot," had come close to his side. "Listen, Carl," the small brown man had told him earnestly. "You ain't gwine' t gwine nowhere like that. They'mo' of them than they is of you. Jes' be quiet-like, and fust chance we gwits we'll hike out here." I know. Carl had protested notly, "but this is illegal. They can't keep me here if I don't want to stay. Why, it's——" "Shush!" Hotshot had warned, "Don't say what these here folks ain't do. Boy, theykin do anything they's big enough to do. An' they's too big for us'n." So Carl had taken the advice of the wise little man. Now they worked side by side, sloshing, from wagon to levee with heavy sand bags. The rain was chilly and piercing, and a grey, murky mist hung over the roaring river. As he trudged wearily along with a hundred, pound sack on his shoulder, Carl's thoughts were chaotic. In rhythm to his trips from the wagon to the levee he lost himself deeper and deeper in his reflections. He had been in Chicago attending the university when he had read in the newspaper in the little M.issi-town村 where his parents lived had be swapt away by the flood. I. was studying a business course, and graduation was only a few days away, but he had immediately caught a train for Memphis, and from there had made his way, by wagon and on foot to the place where he had been born and where his parents had lived. In answer to all his inquiries he was able to learn only that the two THE AFRO-AMERICAN old people had been caught by the rising waters, as their little home was on bottoms land, near the river. Grief-stricken he had tried to return to Chicago, when he was trapped by the still rising river. With several other refugees he had been brought to the camp, where he had bitterly, while his anguish and his resentment ate at his very soul. He remembered how he had argued his parents to come North and live with him, and how confident he had been that he would soon be earning enough to care for them and repay his debt. He was better biter sacrifice to help him through college. Anton Bigel, the banker, who had come from Carl's Mississippi home, had been interested in him, and had followed his career with Literest. He had promised Carl that when he had finished at the University a job would be waiting for him. His mother had wanted him to be somebody—to do something else besides farm cotton. When he was sixteen he had been sent to Chicago to school, and now at twenty-four he had fulfilled one of his mother's fondest hopes by his completion of college. The thought that she would never know of his success filled him with an aching injury. He groaned aloud. "Somp'n hurt you, Carl?" "Hotshot asked sympathetically. They were out of earshot of the overseer. Carl smiled grimly, "Something sure does" he told his friend. "You ain't used to his pere work." Carl chose not to enlighten Hotshot as to his trouble. The little man seemed to have adopted him, and Carl was becoming fond of him. "I suppose carrying all these big sa' is not hard for you, in spite of the fact that you are smaller than 17" Carl evaded. "Naw," said the other, depreciatingly.

Carl smiled in sympathy, but their brief levity was abruptly lailed when the gang boss, hearing their voices, yelled at them to "give a move on!"

They were afraid of this gang boss who almost had the power of life and death over them. He was a huge red-faced man, bundled in a great Army coat, and he frequently drank white liquor As Carl passed him on his way back to the sand wagon the man snarled, "You are that smartalecy Nawthin' boy, eh?

ROGERS Noted Author and Correspondent HISTORY contains no stranger or more romantic figure than Abram Hannibal. Stolen from his parents in Africa and sold into slavery, he rose to be commander-in-chief of the armies of the greatest white empire of his day. One of his descendants became one of the world's greatest poets, while others are today to be found in some of the leading royal families of Europe, including the English. Destiny was indeed kind to Hannibal, for instead of being sent to America where he would have been best to house-servant, he was sent to Europe. At that time, while Negroes were imbuishing in slavery in America, others of their brothers, also from shoe in you so far you'll need a doctor to take it out."

They must, followed suit. This writer has in his possession a copy of a picture of this sort from a Moscow gallery. When they were safely away, Hot-shot whispered, "I sho' thought you was gonna climb that he-devil's frame!" "I will if he lays a hand on me!" Garl promised grimly. "I don't care if they kill me afterwards!" "Well, eff you gits into trouble, I'll be right there with you, kid," the diminutive man told him in a low voice. Carl grasped his hand quickly, and after a sharp pressure, released it. "Thanks, Hot-shot! he said gratefully. If I get into a mixup, you get out of it. There's no use in you getting hurt on my account." "Shut yo' mout, boy!" Hot-shot cried. "I ain't got one time to die, an if it's my time I'm gonna go right here." The rain drove down more fiercely, penetrating the thin, ragged clothes that the men wore. Carl had lost his hat, and his hair, uncut since he left Chicago, was a sadden mass of blue-black curls. His clear brown skin gleamed wetly, and in his brown eyes there was again the look of the caged wolf which awaits only the chance to leap its barriers. And like a wolf, he was wide of shoulder and slender waist, and his limbs were cored with smooth, powerful muscles. At school he had boxed for recreation, and now he found himself wondering what would happen if he suddenly hit the gang boss on the jaw. Perhaps the man had a pistol, and would shoot him. He decided that even being shot was preferable to this terrible enforced toll. He did not toll to his friend his-gave determination to try to escape. It would do no good, and perhaps the little brown man would not hurt. Underfoot the earth was a mass of slippery mud which made every step precarious. Up the river about four hundred yards there was another gang of dark men working under a gang boss. Carl measured the distance and decided that the other boss was too far away to stop him f. he should carry out his design. His chance came sooner than he had expected. with the his sand sack, when he lost his footing and fell. As the sack hit the ground it burst, spreading its damp brown contents on the muddy ground. The gang boss cursed him with fluent vileness, and as the youth was getting feet, the man carried out his threat made a little 'while he and launched his heavy booked foot into the youth's side. Carl was sick with pain, but rolling over quickly, he exuded another kick, aimed at his head, and got to his feet. For an instant he stood swaying collecting his senses. His young jaw went rock-like, and the color drained from his face. He crouched ominously, his arms extended crooked toward his assailant, and he moved forward with the stealthy stride of forest savage. Suddenly he become a primitiv in wrench-clout intent on the destruction of an enemy. The veneer of civilization possessed from him, and he was possessed of a savage rage which surprised him when he thought of it later. The gang boss, seeing the disheveled youth with the terrible light in his eyes advancing toward him, started fumbling ineffectually at his great coat as though searching for his pistol. His eyes grew larger with terrified astonishment. He hadn't expected any resistance. Secure in his position as boss, 'th a revolver tucked in a .a inner pocket, he never dreamed that one of these dark men would have the courage to attack him. He shouted weakly as Carl closed in on him, then the youth's strong young hands clamped like a vise on his throat. Writhing wildly, the large man slithered down into the mud. Carl atop him, throttling with a mad strength. The man's struggles were becoming falter. Hotshot should a warning. Along the bank of the river the other gang boss was running as fast as could toward the struggle. In his hand he waved a large pistol. It was evident that he feared to shoot from so far away for fear of hitting the victim. Unleashed Hots o'ts cry, Carl removed his hands from the jar, boss's neck and struck th' fallen man full in the face several times. The other members of the crew scattered wildly, shouting in fear at the unexpected development. By now the other boss was near to the scar of the fight. As Carl rose to his feet, the man leveled the big pistol at him, taking deliberate aim. For a paralysed instant the youth faced, the weapon, its long black barrel trained directly, at his head. In fascinated horror he saw. t' ponderous hammer of the enormous weapon move back slowly, e the pressure on the man's finger on the trigger increased. Then there came a terrific roar, and a sharp burst of flame. (End of Installation One.) "Negroes were also in esteem as indeed they have been of recent years.

Peter the Great fell in love with him to Peter's death, and to Peter's death, the two were inseparable, on the battlefield or at court. Peter was very democratic Once Peter went to England and worked in a ship yard as a common laborer to learn the trade in order to build up a navy of his greatest man on earth. In his palace he dined at a great long table. His custom was to seat himself, and he would sit on the floor of rank could sit next to him. The ambassadors, even from England, accustomed to seats of honor in other lands, used to complain of this custom. In any case Peter Hammina, was always beside him.

Mentchikoff was planning to marry Hannah, and tried to win over the young Negro officer with bribes, but the latter was firm. He refused to betray the trust that Peter the Great had confided in him.

But Doulogoukri, also, knowing Hannibal's influence with the young Carr, did not allow Peter to have him arrested at Tomsk. Here he remained until Peter died of the small-nox nearly two years later. Anna, known as "The Bloody" was the most great, now mounted the throne, and once more Hannibal started to return. When he arrived at St. Petersburg, however, he was compelled to hide himself.

LEONARD DETHRONED Last Year's Champ Beaten in Semi-Finals. The old adage that "practice makes perfect" never rang truer than it did on Monday afternoon as James Hall, veteran Baltimore horseshoe pitcher, took the measure of John Seblem, Annapolis champion, to capture the 1930 title in the AFO AMERICAN'S second annual statewide horseshoe pitching tournament at Drud Hill Park. A record gallery was on hand to see the man who last year had the cup of victory knocked unceremoniously, from knocks, by Howard Leonard, seven-year-old Salisbury youth, came back with a stirring reverence form to capture first honors in a test of skill in twirling the entire footwear. Wins Three In Row The winner captured three straight games from Sembly, defeating him, 51-21, 50-39 and 51-35. The champion was in excellent form, and before the first game had ended his supporters were predicting a victory for him. Hall had previously defeated Dalley, the School 112 playground champion, and had topped Moth's Chase of the Motu's playground in the semifinal, unanimously proving himself to be the cream of the crop of toppers seeking state honor. Pitches 56 Ringers In the eight games played by him, two 25-point games and six 50-point contests, he pitched a total of 65 ringers. But it was not his ringer pitching that figured as prominently in his triumph as his ability to consistently place close shots blocked opponents' time and time again he Dobbins's castons pugnets to nestle in the dark red in a position that defied moving or ringing over. Here, it was, that he showed the results of long practice, for starting last fall, following the close of the tournament, the Baltimore toser has been practicing regularly to perfect his style of pitching that he might reach the heights as premier toser of horseshoes of the commonwealth. It was a different contest from the one of last year who faced the toser in this play, and the determination to win, plus the ability to control his pitching, brought its reward. Howard Leonard, last year's champion, fell in the semi-finals. bruises?

Leonard Blows Up Sembly won the first game, 50-27, only to have Leonard, with the count standing 48-47 against him in the second game, to nose him out with a perfectly timed riffle and the count losing the third game and lost by the one-sided score of 51 to 11. Mr. Hall, an expert marble worker, proved as adept at keeping his opponents from scoring as he did scoring, himself. He used his own block of pitching to knock the block of pitching the latter when pitching first to make it difficult for his opponent to get close to the peg without first avoiding the blocking shoe. Would Block Peg It was this persistence of his that made it impossible for Sembly, a ringer pitcher, to get his shoes around the peg. Time and again Sembly would overpitch or underpitch the peg in an effort to steal his shoes by those of the craftsmen. This exertion was the cause and the gallery predicted his downfall as the second of the three games was be- By a strange co-incidence. Hall and Sembly pitched 25 ringers each in their championship match. Sembly taking high ringer honors with twelve in one game. But the close close shoes tossed by Hall gave him his margin. Leonard Rally Thrills Probably the most dramatic game of the entire day's play was the second the semi-final games between Sembly and Leonard, in which the latter staged a hair-raising finish to nose out the former. 50-28. In the 17 points of Leonard scored a ringer and one close shoe. At the end of the twenty-first inning the count was 22-all. Leonard pitching one double ringer and four single ringers to place himself in the running. At close of the game, to Sembly and Leonard, 47, Leonard, 37. Sembly having won the first game, the gallery felt that it was all over. But they had not reckoned with young Leonard, who in a jiffy tossed a double ringer to run his total points, to 43. Leonard seconded the next inning for a total of 48 points. Binger Wins Game Leonard came back with a ringer and a close shoe to advance his score to 47 points as the gallery made a rousing cheer. The air was fraught with tenseness as the lean Eastern Sho' ladd sighted the peg and polished his shoe for the range. The first shoe missed the peg by inches, the second shoe enriched the peg like a hungry fish crunching a bait. Neither of the shoes pitched by Sembly could change the position of Leonards' feet, so he stood at one-all. But the third game fouled Leonard weaken- lized, some of his shoes falling to the ground, and clay pit surround- ing the iron peg. Chase Bested Sylvester Chase, playing Hall in the semi-finals, won the first game with a rush, 51 to 32, pitching fifteen rickets, and by the second game the wily Hall had perfected his block shoe pitching and was shutting out Chase at the peg consistently. But slide the shoes beaten or drop them down on the peg because of the perfect blocking caused by his opponent's shoes. In next two games were taken by Hall in easy fashion, 52-11 and 51-27. In two first round games, Leonard easily defeated Chase in the 9-8, while Hall defeated Dalley of the P.S. 112 playground, 25-22 and 26-15. Editor Presents Prizes A beautiful silver loving cup was the reward of the new champion, while another loving cup went to Sembly, the runner-up. Consolation prizes of chromium-plated horseshoes were awarded to Chase and Leonard, who caused by his opponent's shoes, worked their way to the semi-finals. Presentations were made by the perfect block-Munyu, president of the AFRO-AMERICAN Company, who congratulated the winners and predicted an even larger tournament next year, judging from the improvement of the 1950 competition over that of last year.

At Wildwood, N.J., last Thursday, the Lincoln Giants won a 1-0 victory from the Wildwood nine, despite the fact that (Wimble, the opposing pitcher, pitched a no-hit game. The run came through a base on balls and an error. At Protectory Oval, the Lincoln's home ground, another doubleheader was taken from the Candman mound on Sunday.

Until they are ous that it can and should be to the association this sociality department the title may be interpreted to mean The title carries with it a tennis racket and a set of Fement did not function, to curiosity in replying to a trait attributed to several courts.

Shades of Peeem and excellently prepared yet been said. Watch to the advertising manager he NOW that it's all over, the national tennis tournament, I mean, you might want to do a little bit of reviewing to see just what has been done, and also what has been done, even though you think that the latter is not necessary. For while the tumult and the shouting may impress you that they have died, don't let 'em fool you, for every shut eye an Sleep. The champions, picked by this pillar ran true to form, which didn't surprise you. In the women's junior, and mixed doubles divisions, there was no question as to the dope. It was practically fool-proof. The women's doubles team, on which I picked Miss Washington, wom, although Dame Winston took Senorita Ballard's place. The women's doubles title has not yet been decided, but with my selections playing in the finals, you can see that my chances for a perfect score are still good. In the men's singles, with the proviso that Turner, Brown and Weir did not enter, this prognosticator chose Stocks of California. But Stocks did not enter and Turner did, a happenstance that brought the latter victory. I'm asking you, folks, if your prophet shall be slain? The nays have it, and so ordered. The nays have it, and so ordered. Big hand, for every individual retained his title upon merit. The absence of Stocks and Miss (Southpaw) Ballard took a slight kick out of the tourney but there were other thrills that compensated the big gallery that watched the play. You are probably surprised at the election of D. Ivison Haoge, M.D., of the Empire State, as the new prey, succeeding Dr. J. L. McGriff of Virginia, and I am certain that your surprise is as genuine as mine. While the election of the good doctor Haoge may be ever the so-good, this department had anticipated and rather hoped for the choice of a representative of the younger school of active tennis players. In consideration of the goings on of the last two tournament and the sentiments expressed by members of the "Biscuiters" and the "Muffin" it was felt in many quarters that a would be ushered in. It is common knowledge that the American Tennis Association, as it is, far from being a perfect organization, functioning harmoniously. There are still some cairs and cairinas within the fold of this purported democratic organization and a feeble bid for their scals was made last year. Until they are ousted the A.T.A. cannot hope to be the body that it can and should be. While referring to the association this servien would like to confer upon its publicity department the title W.W.P.D., which in the Scandinavian, may be interpreted to mean. World's Worst Publicity Department. The title carries with it an award of a stringless wrought-iron tennis racket and a set of leaden balls, with full privileges. Why the department did not function, to the extent of merely showing common courtesy in replying to a telegraphic request for information, may be attributed to several causes, among them indifference and ignorance. This papyrus received only one post-tournament release (that one containing no news) and no post-tournament copy at all. Such copy as was sent was sent to a news agency for distribution to be received just prior to press time, if not after. Newspapers carrying stories of the tournament, particularly game summaries, had to pay dearly for their information by having a representative at the courts. Shades of Pee-Bee Young, who used to send out such timely and excellently prepared copy. But all has not yet been said. Watch this space for further announcements, as the advertising manager has taught me to say.

More interesting to me, however, was a bit dealing with the lot of the sable performer in baseball circles. Mr. Johnson has the following to say regarding it: The record of the Negro in professional baseball makes not so full a page. He did not have so much of a chance in baseball as he had in racing and pugilism. He never gets so fair a chance in those forms of sport or athletics where he must be a member of a team, as in those where he may stand upon his own ability as an individual. The difficulty starts with prejudice against his becoming a team member. In baseball, as in racing, the Negro gained his first experience in the South. By 1880 nearly every city and town in the South had its colored baseball club. For a period of years the best teams in the South were the colored teams. For some reasons the whites were tardy about taking up the game and becoming proficient at it. In many places, however, they were fierce partisans and strong supporters of the black team of their town. Important match games between rival teams of different towns or states often drew as many whites as black rooters and spectators. These were all matron clubs, but several of them were as good as the professional clubs. Bob Nehville and Mickey possessed colored teams. Memphis had a wonderful pitcher named Higgins, and a catcher called "Peewee" Gwin, who was one of the first catchers in the game to take them off the bat. Nevertheless, in the middle eighties there were four colored players on professional league teams. Rochester signed Higgins, formerly of the Memphis teamed team; Jersey City had a famous black battery, Stovey and Walker; and Buffalo had a star second baseman named Grant. Grant was dubbed "the Black Dunlap" after Dunlap of Detroit, who was then the most brilliant second baseman in the National League. But the Negro could not front the forces against him in organized baseball; so he was compelled to organize for himself. The first professional Negro team to be formed was the Gorhams of New York. From the Gorhams came the famous Cuban Giants. Following the success of the Cuban Giants colored professional and semi-professional clubs called Giants of some kind were organized in a dozen or more cities. These professional clubs have become better organized and now play a regularly scheduled series of games. There are many fans, and players, too, who would like to see those days brought back. The recent years, in post-season series between Negro teams and teams composed of stars in the major leagues, have emphasized the quality of the dark-skinned baschall player. Still, the doors of the major and most minor leagues are closed to him. This pillar will welcome the day when our baseball stars can come into their own.

G Add Prizes— A news release tells of a golf tournament in the Southwest which includes in its prize list some that seem quite unusual. The jailer of the town offered as one prize free room and board at the jail for one week, while a lawyer, with a practical turn of mind, offered to get a free divorce for the winner. The latter prize will in all probability draw out a record entry. Think how keen the competition would be in a tennis tournament; fristance, if instead of offering cups, the leading mortician offered to give a free burial to the winner or if the corner chirpist offered to keep the winner's feet free of corn for a period of six months. Suppose the barber offered free hair cuts for six months or the newspaper offered two inches of space in its columns for six weeks. But why go further with this thing? Some bootlegger might The latter prize will in all probability draw out a record entry.

Coach Moore has spent all of the present week on fundamentals, but plans to start the real drive shortly as but three weeks remain in the season for the first game which is with A. & T. There is much interest being shown locally in this game on account of the fact that the southerners are being Lennon in the season by a former Big Blue coach.

Senators Battle to 11-Inning Tie The Baltimore Senators journeyed to off a tie game with the Washington D.C. Pirates, but at the end of the ninth inning, the battle was drawn, the team being 6-6, the game was called on account of darkness. The feature of the game was the pitching of Linberger, the Senators' star South paw. The Pirates drove G. Hilson from the mound and drew the game to stop the Pirates. This he did, causing nine of them to beat the air with their bats. In the eleventh inning, with the winning run on base and no one out, he famed two men a cow. He was greatly helped by Goodison, the Senators' star receiver. SENATORS R h a l s t RIPATES Anthony.if. 2 2 0 0 lenor.13. 2 2 1 B. Hilson.if. 2 2 0 0 irnoll.13. 2 2 1 J.

RANDALLSTOWN WINS The Randallstown baseball team won two two games from the Baltimore Robins by the scores of 15-11 and 16-4. It took James (Marble Hall, 55-year-old state horse pitching champion more than 25 years to learn the his style of pitching was wrong. But when he discovered the re- sult of his ways it took him less than five minutes to make his mind that he would learn the way and so perfect his style that he was a worthy fee for any opponent. Lost Last Year Saturday, at Druld Hill Park fore a colorful throng of horse- fans, Mr. Hall proved the hard- ness his way by winning the AWTR-20 horsesees pitching competition. Hall was runner-up in 1928 to Howard Leonard, 15-year- youngster from Salibury. With visions of a title for him for the following year, the Bali marble worker immediately put his thinking cap and began to de ways and means to accomplish end. To win, he concluded, it necessary not only to be able to ringers and close shoes but to use it difficult for the opponent to the same thing. Practiced all Winter So the champion-to-bear who he farm out on the Washington Bard, began practicing last fall, timing throughout the winter, weather permitted. His brother Charles C. Hall, was usually hisponent. Why shouldn't he win as well as anyone? "I perfected the open shoe, turn and a half," Mr. Hall concludes "and then I perfected the block. Last year I used the whirling styre, but abandoned it because chances of ringing are only one in a million." "When I am the first one to I try for a ringer with my first, and if I am unsuccessful I try throw the second shoe so that it falls callks down us in front of peg, sticking up in the clay. And for year ponent to get close to the peg pitch a ringer." First Used Shoes in Canada. Mr. Hall first used the regular horseshoes about five years ago with the runner up in the Canada championships. Since that time has accustomed himself to pick with the two and one step of his stance. Mr. McCemetery where his marble located, he can be found in his moments, living testimony to adage that "Practice makes perfect. Hair is Gray And while there are plenty of shoes this sight is aided and abetted by a glam the champion's eyes twinkle at mention of the saying that "must be observed." That was the case last year, it was a fair story. I won't say what will be next year. Attention MEN & BOYS A. S. S.

Dispute Delays Play in Pennsy League Protested Game Holds Up Series in Darby Inter-urban League DARBY, Pa.—Because of the delay of league officials in coming to an agreement regarding a protest game, the championship of the Interurban remains unsettled. a mixed circuit. It was announced last week that the league would terminate its championship, and the conflict that has arisen over the protest game which was played two weeks ago between Lloyd Thompson's Darby Phantoms and Colwyn, with the latter coming in early September. In 4-3, there has been a delay in announcing the winner. If the game between the Phantoms and Colwyn should be played over and the Phantoms should win, the winner would have to play with Colwyn for first place and they would have to battle it out for the privilege of being in the play-off. The Phantoms, it is reported, would have to play with James in the play-off, with the "Snooks" favoring the latter. ts Show Colors THERE'S a new swagger air to our Fall hats, and the colors match your suitings perfectly.

BEN LATE BEAVER ADMIRALTY GRAY HATS $8.00 AND $10 L COLORS AND STYLES AND $2.00 Company Cooper Wild The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, September 6, 1930 KNOWLEDGE IS POWER Continued from Page One Great Britain's athletes, all of them, were quartered as a team at the Medinah Athletic Club. America's athletes, all of them except the black ones, were lodged at the Illinois Athletic Club. The black Americans were sent to a colored hotel. The reader must give full value to the bigness of this international meet in order to realize how cruel and unfair that discrimination was. Here were black boys who were expected to and did win all their events and the best possible the English-speaking world. They were to compete for TEEIR country, for the glory of white as well as black, yet for two days prior to the meet they were segregated. Took Mother's Advice Efforts were made to induce Tolan not to run. He said that he would go through with it on the advice of his mother. For the sake of contrast, let us lay over against this cruel insult of prejudice on the part of whites, their outside, expressed emotions as heard in Soldiers' Field. The great stadium is large enough to accommodate 100,000 persons. spectators surge like ants to their seats. The heralds sound their trumpets. Out from a gate at the far southern corner comes the civilian leaders of the British athletes, including friendly-looking Phil Edwards, dressed differently from any of the others. After a respectable interval, the fife and drum corps, a smart aggregation of the Chicago Board of Trade, comes into the parade, followed by the citizen of the United States. Then the meeting of United States athletes. The first colored athlete in the line is John Lewis. "That's Tolan," the whites whisper, while marveling at the smooth, black muscles of Lewls. But it was not Tolan; and Tolan was not well known; and Mcalle, and Gus Moore of the Brokokyn Harriers. Tolan was kept out so that he would be fresh for the first big event the day before. He was paraded around the field twice to the accompaniment of deafening cheers. Tolan Cheered It is time for the first race. The name of the British participants have been announced. "For the United States," says the name of the "will run in the following order: First, Sweet of California; second, Leland, of Texas Christian University; third, Simpson, of Ohio State, and fourth, TOLAN, of Michigan." The capitals are mine, but the emphasis behind them belongs to the At the mention of Tolani's name, the crowd burst into a mighty demonstration. The race is on. Forty thousand frenzed fans are on their feet. Sweet is outrun by a small margin; Leland fails to make it; Simpson gains and passes the baton to the black sweeter. Oh, what a flash! His black legs are the movements of a fine watch. Look at that form, mumbles another. How he does go. In the first fifty yards he has gained five yards on the white Briton. He does not stop. He goes down on the lays then Eight yards ahead, nine, ten, eleven. The powder of the giant cameras explodes and flashes in his face. He turns to face the crowd for which he has elicited many shouts shouts greet him. What a man! Lewis Scores America has won the first race. The black boy, not good enough to stay with his fellow athletes, has carried his comeback to the top. The current of cheering, what must have been on his mind? How sweet his thoughts must have been. How full of joy his heart? How much better not so good American, repeated. Around the track he speed, black, shining, beautiful, to win his lap. There goes the South African "explorer," as Lewis flashed by. Edwards Wins Lap Then Phil Edwards, running the third 880-yard section of the mile relay. This is Phil Edwards, married to a German girl, captain of the New York University track team, and American half-mile champion. Edwards comes from British Gulana. He is running for Great Britain. America has picked up a lead in the first two laps. Phil grasps the baton and is off. His stride is long, easy. It is the piston of a great engine. Lap one has been completed and Phil and Beethan for the United States are running neck and neck. Faster grows Phil's stride and faster speeds the white boy in a bold challenge. But his effort is futile. Edwards literally bursts away. He leads by five yards, ten, fifteen. He turns over the baton to the anchor runner of the British team with a thirty-yard advantage. “I don't see how he can run for England and go to an American school,” mutters a white American. Edwards must have felt proud of what he had done for his country and his race. He had not been segregated, insulted. Metcalfe Takes Dash Because it was necessary to save Tolan for one of the 220-yard sprints of the mile medley relay, he did not run in the special invitation 100-yard dash. But Ralph Metcalfe, another black boy, did. And he wore his race arm and cheered him, ignorant and unmindful of the back-room insult that had been given to Metcalfe and his race.

DOWNINGTOWN, Pa.—When the Downington Industrial School responds on September 22, its faculty is presented projects it has yet undertaken. Acting as a committee of the whole it will attempt a co-operative revision of the curricula and courses of study of the school and their course into a printed course of study. Heretofore, each teacher has made his own outlines of his courses of study and there has been little actual progress in the various subject-fields, to say nothing of that for the school as a whole. The revision will be carried on as a faculty in a committee composed of the heads of departments: R. A. L.emnic, academic; L. R. Luffin, music and remedial reading; and P. B. Hunt, vocational. For this work the school will have the advantage of an experienced group of teachers who have served on the school board for many years. There will be only one new member, Miss B. W. Whitfield, of the Social Studies Department. She comes well prepared, having specialized at the University of Chicago and working in Junior High School procedure. For the first two months the committee will work on the aims and objectives of the curriculum separate from those of public schools, after which the function of each department in realizing these objectives will be determined. The department's organization into teaching units, choice of suitable teaching methods, projects, and problems, and means of adapting the courses of study to individual circumstances will be the future steps in this program.

Coffee stains can be removed by applying pure glycerin before the linen is washed. Eyeglasses will not become misty in a steamy atmosphere if they are rubbed with a little glycerin. You will find castor oil a splendid thing to use on insect bites. As good as soap, the castor oil can counteract the poison of the bite. It allays the pain immediately upon being applied. It is particularly good for bee stings. To make brass ornaments shine brilliantly clear, half a teaspoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of salt to half a teacupful of vinegar—and polish with a soft cloth. When the tins come off the ends of sheostrings dip them in glue, then to point, and let them dry. This makes a sharp, hard point easy to lace. Rubbing paraffin on the track and bottom edge of a desk or any drawer will prevent its sticking and make it easily no matter how heavily loaded.

Farm and Garden Gardens are finding prevalence of cabbage yellows and black rot this summer with many plants dying, because of that disease during hot weather. Yellows often are confused with cabbage black rot, as the external appearance of the afflicted plants is somewhat the same and both are fatal to the plants attacked. Gardeners should split the leaf stalk or stem of the infected plant and find out by examining the sap tubes whether it is cabbage yellows, which cause the sap tubes to turn, brown, and black rot which turns the tubes black. At this season of the year there is no control measure for the two infestations. The diseases live in the soil for many years. Elimination of cabbage yellows is accomplished by using seed treatment, following varieties: Indiana cabbage, Wisconsin all season, Wisconsin all-head-select, Wisconsin globe, Marion market, facelo and Wisconsin Hollander or No. 8 Sources, Wisconsin agricultural colleges of the middle west. Some gardeners who have followed the practice still find that their cabbage plants die, but on examination the blame has been placed on black cabbage. The disease are subject to this disease. Treatment of the seed before planting is recommended as the best control measure, consisting of soaking the seed for 30 minutes in a solution of one-half ounce of water or one-half gallons of water. (Remember, the sublimate is very poisonous.) WATCHING THE BIG PARADE BY RALPH MATTHEWS Making a Colonel Sore. The bawling out that Colonel Hubert Julian, of his Majesty's air force, gave me the other day was the second royal reprimand I have received from the lips of dignitaries of the Kingdom of Ethiopia in Abyssinia, and both for the same cause—writing him a letter of apology. Colonel Julian, of his Majesty's air force, is not the first to speak harshly to me, a fact which I withheld from him because I did not care to hear him. He was a pioneering in this daring endeavor. He talked politely, but sternly as befits a soldier and a gentleman. In order to understand that certain things I had said about him had wounded his pride and, if brought to the attention of his Royal Highness Ras Mansur, he court. He demanded an apology My feeling was one of mingled pride and shame. Shame that I had incurred the displeasure of so great a personage and pride for the same reason. It is a common occurrence in history that a personage, like Hailry sore with me, but the privilege of ruffling the feathers of a colonel in his majesty's air force is no everyday affair. Having laid down a piece of his agile mind in words well chosen, we parted on the best of terms—he to Abyssinia, she to Abysinia, and on to Abysinia, while I returned to the grind, the hum-drum existence void of palaces, prancing armies, courtiers, princes and kings. Song-Writing Prince. The colonel's leave-taking brought to mind another royal bawling out—that of Andy Razaf, who took me severely to task for panning a show for which he wrote the music. He named it "music in music," name at all heads, music publishing house up Harlem way, and is, if my accounts are correct, a direct descendant—nephew. I think-of the former Queen of Ethiopia, who the same Ras Tafari is reported to have fed poison. He was a great friend of Andy. Andy's parents were mixed up some way with the diplomatic circles in Washington and he was born there. He is really a prince, with a name in many, many sections of which Antoine was born. He is better on popular songs like "Dusky Stewarded," which is from his pen. The Best of Manners. A certain edition of "Brown Skin Models" did not please me, and I said so much, which Andy resented; in polite, but very positive terms he told me to. Politeness, coupled with sternness, seems to be old Abassianism as it is the habit of parting on good terms. Both Andy, the prince, and Hubert, the colonel, unfolded the beauties and opportunities of Abassinia in such convincing terms that I was impressed. I also observed other shirt and dashing over to where Ethiopia is stretching forth her hands. The Slave Traffic. As I sat meditating this drastic move, I ran across an article entitled "the Slave Hunters in Abyssinia." Describing a slave catching expedition at work the writer says: "When dawn came, Selim, whose deeds were so great on his belly, ready to spring, Soon we heard the noise of a troupe of animals approaching. The goats passed, then Selim leaned. It was the goats that were the most silent. The girl who was driving her goats, was in an instant gaggle, and bound. Without a word Selim threw her over his shoulder and rushed back across the valley. The girl was good looking, he said, and good would fetch $400." That is not ancient lore but written from Abyssinia. True, there are decrees against the slave trade just like there are laws against the lion that is not a man, so the nation to spend for enforcement cannot squelch the bootleg business, what assurance have I that Ethiopia, undeveloped as it is, can prevent Selim from kdnnapping me in some Being kidnapped would hardly be a pleasant experience for an individual used to dealing with children and I can hardly fancy myself getting a great kick out of the slave business even as a trafficker. I prefer the lesser, but the more dangerous is little danger of a still full of mash crying out when the government snopers are around with a. "Here, as I imagine a kid was if you could hide him around the house. Not an Inviting Profession. There are other objectionable features about the bootleg slave business that are hardly inimical. Slaves have a history of being sold for higher prices because they have to be fed and will probably eat up all your slaves. You can buy them and say they are 100 proof, aged in the wood, because are is more of a handicap than an asset. Slaves also can cook and can eat by adding a little brown sugar and water. Uneasy Lies the Head. Being a royalist in a tropical country is even less inviting. Going around all day dressed in a hot robe of velvet and weighted down with emblems of the land and the sea, she never dangling around 90 in the shade is by no means my idea of Utopia. Being dressed up in imperial regalia with people bowing to me would make me feel like was a princess in a lodge and I can conceive of no worse form of degeneracy than that. There is little hope for peace, of mind for a royalist, matters not which way destiny will work for common people and going to think or do. If you incur their hatred one of them is just as ant to assassinate you as not. Of course, being a royalist they might put the flag at half mast for several days at your death, but that would not bring about your resurre On the other hand you run a risk should you grow too popular with the masses. The emperor huns suspects you enough to stabilize on your popularity and start a revolution to overthrow him. In countries where they have dungeons, gullettines, firing squads and jealous rulers it would never permit any dynamic personality to tarry long. Abyssinia the Loser The pros and cons on Abyssinia are so nearly equal that America, the only country with nineteenth of the law, has a pretty good chance of keeping me, and the Kingdom of Ethiopia will have to struggle along the best way it can with the Malesty's air force.

Cut into browned, desi Better Biscuits Do you sometimes fail to get the normal size and texture in your baked products—biscuits, muffins, cake? If your technique in handling such batters and doughs is correct, perhaps you can use it to make a dough. A can whose lid does not fit snugly or whose lid is left off too long for the measurement of the baking powder is allowing the contents to lose strength all the time. The other day I tried this experiment with a powder, which I always use with success, was opened to make some biscuit for breakfast. The results were excellent. The can was left standing open, the day was hot and dry, the next day it was hot and crisp but the cut again, used exactly the same method and the same proportions of ingredients and my biscuits were a flat failure. What happened? The atmosphere on the outside was not and dry, but that was not because of the steam from cooking. This moisture evidently was sufficient to eliminate the carbon dioxide, which is the leaven. The powder which was left, therefore, was worth keeping in its leavening quality was concerned. You may say, "Well, in what way does this experiment help me? I never leave the lid off my can of baking powder for one day. Perhaps I will forget when you first remove it, leaving a small opening where moisture and air can enter. You may also forget, now and then, and leave the lid off when you can get it out. Conditions are allowing the baking powder to be robbed of its potency. I am sure that dissipated powder accounts for a good many of the variations we obtain in baked products. Now the raised, raised, how can I save such variations and how can I ever keep baking powder of the original strength? My answer is, "Purchase a small can unless you are doing quantity baking to keep it from becoming too hard. Cover the can as soon as you have removed the necessary amount of powder. While small cans cost much more in proportion to large ones, it is more satisfactory. Your baking powder enables one always to obtain uniform products. Stuffed Egg Plant Cut eggplant in half. Remove as much of the white portion as possible without breaking the shell. Cut in small pieces. Cut into small squares with a small amount of water for 10 minutes. Drain and add the other ingredients. Fill the eggplant sheets with the stuffing: place buttered crumbs on top four around the stuffed eggplant, in which the vegetables were cooked. Bake half an hour, or until golden brown. One medium-sized eggplant, 1 pint finely cut cabbage, $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon butter, and chopped peas. What One White Druggist Thinks of His Customers What One White Druggist Thinks of His Customers BY HARRY BORN white, retired, proprietor for eight years of a drug store for Negroes only, in Harlem. "Darkies" Easy to Sell and Caused "Boys" Behind the Counter Many a Laugh at their Pronunciation. (Reprinted, in part, literally from The AMERICAN DROUGHT [white]). The negroes' dominant wish to become more nearly akin to the white man is expressed to a remarkable degree in the constantly demand. No one but the dusky, fuzzy-haired flapper can tell you how many hours she has spent with those heavy iron hair-straightening combs she has purchased in the mass of wool. No one but she can tell you of her hopes and prayers to have the straight hair of the untroubled pale-skinned flapper. The repeated requests for combs such as these are but everyday occurrences in the lives of the poor, the heavily important to keep in stock an ample assortment in order to meet the most exacting demands of the dusky customers. Lemon Fakes for Skin Bleaching Coupled with this same type of purchase came requests for skin-bleaching preparations. Those darkens know the reputation of the lowly lemon as a valuable aid in skin whiteness and can creme, lemon lotion, lemon astringents and lemon soaps form one of the largest revenues of profit. Twixt rhyme and reason. the clever druggist can capitalize this almost impossible task by the ferrile soil within his reach. One of the most productive jobs I ever tried was in utilizing this demand for lemon soap. In a somewhat dull selling season I obtained a low-priced lemon colored and scented soap, and with but a few hints as to the value of lemon as an ingredient, the supply was exhausted within a few days. What a tireless group those darkens are! Countless trials with only failure as an inevitable result, leave them as hopeful as only a true optimist can be. Their unfinishing effort is a yellow complexion, the ideal of all colored mists, is most remarkable. Lazy. Shiftless Bleaching creams of all descriptions are eagerly purchased regardless of price. The more expensive the product, the more faith they have in it. The creams call them a lazy, shiffles race, troubled with few worries and even fewer ambitions. But if the energy they exert in their efforts towards the imposition of their own fruitful channels, what an amazing output of work they might perform. Running parallel with this eager desire for the acquisition of a lighter skin is the dominating factor of superstition. Liza wants a love potion and the band's coffee "cause he dohn act as if he love her no moan." Love Powder And Liza firmly believes in the powers that magic potion can bring. Love powders, pills and drops are purchased in countless numbers. They solve every emotional difficulty for the negro, and their constant demand for potions is a great drugstrict to keep his shelves stocked with a ready supply at all times. A window display of a miniature still manufacturing the supposed love drops will convince the most hardened of skeptics as to the importance they play in the negro's life. I learned the value of this strange superstition, and was compelled to center a great deal of sales promotion around it. The traditional burning of incense, so customary to the suggestive burners, is a variety of ways. The proverbial rabbit foot, with all its potentialities for bringing good luck, formed the nucleus of a sale in which these "bluebirds" of good fortune were sold for a dollar or more. The darkies have in that tiny bit of fur is almost unbelievable. Charms of all descriptions are revered and kept with care, and any woman who has been in her town, as well as in others' eyes, when armed with her mystic pendant. Chocolate Ice Cream Myth Numerous other beliefs lead to important discoveries. The wide conception that chocolate flavored ice cream has a taste different than plain ice cream solved the mystery of its few sales. Coffee at the lunch counter was seldom demanded for the same reason. Not a week passed but that I learned more of their whimsy and characteristics which were constantly affecting every article they purchased. Boys Get Many Laughs The pathos existing in their eyes is portrayed in the not unusual calls for some of the most expensive powers of the world. A malice to the theatrical stars, society leaders and the like desire to own toilet articles similar to those they see on their mistresses' boudou tables, prompts the girls and younger women to use them for metics. Perhaps in using them they feel that they too have climbed a notch higher in the social scale. The odd twists in names they so often give are amusing, and many a woman have been afforded by their attempted pronunciation. It is impossible to convince them that they are wrong. Gaudy Wrappings A gaudy or gaily colored, wrapper or box becomes an important factor in their final decision to buy. Vivid coloring in advertisements and window displays command leading roles in selling products like happy-gu-lucky nature makes them susceptible to clever advertisements and they form one of the best and easiest selling markets—a druggist could have. A NEGRO AT THE NORTH POLE Matthew Henson: the last to appear in the role of explorer, was chosen by Commmodore Peary to accompany him to the North. Both Commmodore Peary and Commmodore Macmillan state that Henson was chosen because of his peculiar ability to trapple with the problems of the Arctic. He was the best interpreter; he was the best dog driver; he was the best sailor; he was therefore today the only man living who has been to the North Fole.

And with it, forward like the specimen we have here this week, you may be satisfied' but the reason is because you have a very highly emotional nature.

A Sloppy Wife Means a Slipping Husband A Sloppy Wife Means a Slipping Husband Do you want to get rid of your man? It's the easiest thing imaginable unless he is one of those "talless, lazy, good-for-nothings that merely uses you for a meal ticket." Greet the average husband with a frown and a soiled wrapper when he comes home on Monday. Throw something on the table and nout "Soup's on." This again on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and the other days, and keep it up religiously. Be sure that the wrapper is soiled and that your nack looks as though a visit to the bathtub will be in order. Then move into a neighborhood where the other women keep their hair, feet, faces and bodies in order. Let your husband sit on the front porch a few evenings and see the difference between these women and yourself. Invite one or two of the nearest neighbor women in for a glass or lemonade or a sandwich. This recipe is guaranteed to make any man slip—and the sloppy you are, the quicker he slips. Millions of women have used this recipe—but very few of them realized that they were using it until they had lost their husbands. Here is something it may be worth while for you to keep in mind.

FIFTY PRODUCTS SOLD UNDER U.S. STANDARDS WASHINGTON—Federal standards for more than fifty agriculture modities are now generally used in marketing farm crops. N. A. Oleen of the United States Department of Agriculture, sent Thursday in ad- dressing for the Conference of Agricultural Economists at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. "The use of standards has expanded particularly at shipping points," he added, and accounts for over 94 per cent of all inspections during the year." Discussing improvements in the technique of formulating standards. Mr. Olsen said: "Where previously it was difficult to formulate a term of quality, it has become possible to give that factor specific value in the standards. For example, three of the factors of the quality in grain, moisture content, test weight, and cleanliness, lead themselves to determination by chemical and mechanical tests." **MUSTARD REMOVERS ODORS** An odor on the hands can be removed by putting a little dry mustard in cold water and rubbing it on the hands.

MASTER STORE 10¢ SOLD BY ALL GOOD STORES NUMBER BANKERS SUFFER BIG LOSS FROM LUCKY 'TIP' Heavy Play on "208" Monday Wreaks Havoc with Racketeers. Failure to Pay Off Results in Several Battles. Hostilities between local (Reprinted from Last Week's City Edition) led players broke out afresh here Monday when a heavy play on the number "208" caused some of the syndicates to pay off their "hits" at others to fail to pay off at all. So heavily was the number "208" played that had the backers of the various syndicates paid off at their regular odds of 600 to 1. that would have been forced to suffer a combined loss estimated conservatively 150,000. Many Won't Collect Women were said to have been the principal players of the winning number, receiving their "hunch" from a local publication and having sums varying from one cent to fifty cents placed on it. Entire housekeeping, serving, and "hit" the number, but there are many who will never collect a cent for all of their luck. Only four syndicates paid off on Sunday, namely the United, Six and Sight, the Columbia, and the Indian. The first two, reported, had the regular odds of 600 while the Columbia and the American are said to have paid off their hits at 300 to 10 odds. Pay 300 to 1 On Tuesday, the Baltimore and the Monumental syndicates paid the helms of lucky tickets on 208 at 300 to the helms of the Columbia and the number "805" caused an upheaval in local racketeering circles, the Baltimore syndicate made a ruling that all numbers containing a zero would be paid off at 300 to 1 edds. The Monumental syndicate on August 6 issued a card which said that it would pay odds of 600 to 1 on all numbers, barring none. A week later, however, sensing the fact that "208" was a heavy favorite with the small gambblers, the syndicate served notice that it would only pay 300 to 1 on the numbers 101, 711 and 208. Long Horn Quits These two syndicates, reputed to be the strongest in the city, seem to control the major portion of the play here in Baltimore. While they weathered the financial storm, some of the smaller syndicates, and one major organization, the Long Horn quit the business. Officials of this syndicate are reported as saying that they "would not pay off one damned nut." The Washington syndicate, for the International, is reported as the business while officials of the Kermisher Corporation could not be located on Wednesday. Other mushroom operators fleed the city when they found they could not meet their obligations. Arrest Vatkins Marion Watkins, of the 800-block W. Lexington Street, who was believed to be an official of the M. and S. syndicate, was arrested Monday night when police of the Western district came to his printing estab- ilishment and found a milling crowd of disgruntled and irate players waiting to be paid off. At the police station Watkins was found to have $296 in his pockets, but was later dismissed because of a lack of evidence. The M. and syndicate, the M. and all paid his hits at 300 to 101, oddly, completing the pay-off on Wednesday. Arrest Alleged Gunman Police of the Northwestern district, acting upon request of the Northeastern district, arrested Harold Avenue, 1615 Michigan Avenue, Tuesday, as the alleged gunman who fired a volley of shots from an automobile at Ashland Avenue and Caroline Street. Monday and Tuesday, the police crowd of several hundred persons who had rushed him in an attempt to collect their winnings from him. Fifer is being held at Northeastern free station pending an investigation. Form Association Following the financial crash caused by the number "805" here three weeks ago, a meeting of local syndicate operators was called at the company office to discuss it, at which time nine companies were represented. An agreement was reached whereby all would pay only 300 to 1 on numbers concerned. The organization to be known as the Association of Numbers Backers. Jealousy among the numbers barons, however, made of this agreement a mere scrap of paper, for on the following day some of them were to be paying at the original odds of 600 to 1. Players learning this, it is declared, were deserting the 300 to 1 syndicate for the larger odds offered by rival organizations. The operators also complained that the syndicates controlled by Jews were paying employees salaries and commissions in excess of what good business sense demanded. Following the crash caused by the terrorist attacks, the operators are said to have reduced their commissions and salaries. How They Fared It is estimated that local syndicates, had they paid off at odds of 600 to 1, would have suffered losses as follows: Monumental, $22,000; M. and S. $15,000; Long Horn, $15,000; American, $15,000; Kern, $15,000; Columbia, $15,000; Baltimore, $30,000; Washington, $4,000; United, $3,000; United Finance, $3,000; and Foreign Exchange, $3,000. Losses by smaller and less known syndicates it is believed, would swell the total to $150,000. In reality about $25,000 was paid out by the various Many Out of Jobs This latest ricketting catastrophe has its attendant problems, for with the demise of several syndicates, hundreds of burglaries have been down out of employment. Some of these have made immediate connections with some of the surviving syndicates, with the result that competition between births has been kept. Sinner Arrest Thirteen Directing their efforts towards tips received, policemen under the supervision of the vice squad of the detective bureau, raided stores and small bootchair pardons and issued this number of arrests of operating the "numbers game," this week.

SEEK MAN, WOMAN Pair who Spent Night with Victim Sought. (Reprinted from Last Week's City Edition) A man with a burlap bag pulled tightly over his head, a stout hempen rope around his neck to such a degree that the eyes protruded from their sockets and a bullet wound in the back of his head, seated at a table in a ramshackle shanty furnished the latest murder mystery for Baltimore County authorities. This gruesome sight greeted a neighbor of Robert Walker, 35 Long Green Range, who went to his humble home hid in a woods a half mile off Harford Road, Saturday morning. Fullerton police who were called to the scene after the discovery were completely stumped concerning motive and perpetrators of the murder. Seek Man and Wife Facts gathered about the man who lived as a reclusive in his shanty show that several days prior to the murder he was visited by a man, said to be known as William Baker, and a woman whose identity is unknown, but who was reported to be his wife. About 2:30 a.m. Wednesday the couple aroused neighbors around the country side requesting someone to take them to Baltimore. No one complied, but the pair made their get away some more, some more, as they never reached the vicinity again. That they had spent some time with the murdered man was evidenced by a double pallet upon the floor of the garret in the house, where they evidently made their abode. Was Eating Supper Contradictory theories are advanced as to whether they slew Walker before leaving or returned later the following day and committed the act as some report having caught a glimpse of Walker as late as Friday.

His head dropped into his plate breaking it. Pots and pans were on the stove containing portions of food. Can't Find Relatives Why the bag and rope were placed over his head and neck is a mystery, as the man was evidently killed instantly by the bullet. Police advance the theory that the murderer was intent upon doing a good job and stringing the victim to a tree, but changed his mind. The body was removed to Towson where an effort to locate friends or relatives of the dead man have been unavailing.

Each of these boys has a project upon five acres of land rented from the school upon which he raises two acres of cotton, two acres of corn and one acre of sweet potatoes. They rent the land and cultivate a reasonable rate, buy their own fertilizer and cultivate the land themselves under the advice and direction of a scientific farmer. Besides learning scientific methods of farming by actually doing the work himself, each of these boys will secure a net profit in cold cash sufficient to see himself comfortably through his entire year's schooling at Fort Valley. They have a good deal of sighing this year in all of our college because of the scarcity of work and the general depression, but these farm-project boys at Fort Valley have the hard times beaten.

Mich.—(ANP)—How to make money, how to promote business, harnessing the purchasing power of the race so as to produce wealth. jobs, and economic independence. How was around the Business League convention hail fairly resounded last week with prosperity provoking palauer. Officers from President Moton, Secretary Holsey, and Chairman of executive committees Spaulding on down to the quietest delegate were finally elected. The gates was the largest in the history of the league, 643 being recorded. They came from twenty-nine states. Attendance at all the programmed meetings was remarkable. People seemed to want to know what it was about. The general economic situation has been taking notice as never before. Jobs and business are the really popular subjects of the day. Women were responsible for much of the enthusiasm. With the advent of the Colored Merchants' Association Stores and House Wives Leagues, both business league inspirations, later the Colored Women, they had one whole day's program. The auditorium was packed. When Mrs. Sallie Stewart, president of the National Association of Colored Women, who was presiding, asked the business to stand on until 28 per cent of the women present stood. --- New pep and a new program seems to epitomize the present-day Business League. The Colored Merchants Association Stores and the women are the injections which Secretary Holsey used to bring new life . . . Detroit was decorated lavishly but not for the Business League. The Elks were to follow the next week and the local lodges, which were reputed to have raised $20,000 for entertainment of the Anterted herd. were prepared. Even the city hall was covered with Welcome Elk signs. There was something oddly significant about it, though. Despite the fact that great crowds attended the event the herd was filled to the brim. They had thousands to spend decorating for a pleasure loving, care-free fraternity but little to give for a group of business men and women seeking to build up the confluence of their lives. Many prominent Elks, however, attended both conventions. Churchmen were there. too. Bishops W. T. Vernon. Robert E. Jones, and W. J. Walls not only led the spiritual side but joined in talking about some of mixing business with religion. Bishop Jones pointed Durham as a shining example. Every big executive in Durham, he said, goes to church and is an officer of some local church. It is fourteen years since Booker T. Washington, founder of the league, passed away. Dr. Molton remarked, "Washington saw that the Negro must get under his economic load and share in his phase of the country's business life. We must stop taking crumbs from the white man and must make some jobs for ourselves." Sharp and practical were the talks. The trouble is that the big Negroes don't stand by the little Negro business man, Dr. H. Channing Tobias who wrestles our banks, suaunder our money, and destroy our racial confidence in jail, said Bishop Jones. AT RECREATION CENTER Detroit proved a wonderful host. Under the leadership of Fred Hart and the business League, every possible facility, comfort, and convenience was provided. Not the least of the advantages was the Brewster Street Center, where练兵 were held. This half million dollar institution was practically turned over to the league and a more securely searched secrecy be imagined. Built by the city for the neighborhood, its auditorium, gymnasium, committee rooms, and a wide arena, won a wide following under the direction of Commissioner C. E. Brewer. 964 FUNERALS A. L.

Modernization in store improvement that will sound a death knell to the old-time grocery where man-made products (e.g., or more articles, is being advocated by W. H. Messerle, white business specialist of the domestic commerce division, Depart of Commerce). In studies a grocery carrying about 1,000 items or less, properly and attractively displayed and instantly accessible, increases sales 5 to 35 per cent. The articles shall be the grocery need but study the characteristics of the territory in which he is located, the likes and dislikes of the majority of his consumers and the general limitations of the store property. Major Principles The major principles with which modernization is concerned are to secure at the same time (1) complete access to the customer's office all on the smallest possible floor space which will provide customer and clerk convenience, (2) adequate light and amenities, and (3) model dealers store. Mr. Messerle explained that this enterprise is designed to handle a volume of $50,000,000 in sales. It was thought, he said, that three clerks, or possibly four, would be all that were needed in such an establishment. The proprietor, his wife, would be necessary, if necessary, a general company clerk.

THE COUNTRY REPORTER THE COUNTRY REPORTER Continuing our economical train of thought which we began last week we pass on a comment from John G Smart, of Stroudsburg, Pa., who advised us. One of our best hopes for the near future should be to buy more farms before the end of prohibition, at which period, farms will be too high in value to buy, so when they are cheap we will buy all the farm land we could buy. There are too many people now in the cities, that really should be on the farms. Maybe I am one, but however, there are many who would be much better off.

CLUBS PLEDGE AID IN HALTING WARFARE (Reprinted from Last Week's City Edition) Under the searchlight of publicity, Baltimore's reputed bloody gang war has simmered down to little more than friendly or unfriendly rivalry between young men's social clubs of city and the hatchet and all other implements of warfare, reported to have been used in the annihilation of each other, have been definitely buried and the town is tranquil again. Last week the AFRO exposed the growing rowdyism among the younger set in an effort to arouse parents to the necessity of checking the activities of their boys before more serious catastrophes resulted. The growing popular gun-toting among the younger set was pointed out by police as a menace to the community with which they were able to cope. Clubs. Not Gangs Many of the alleged gangs mentioned as participating in the rivalry that resulted in many boys severely beaten called the AFRO this week to establish their innocence. That relationship related actually led they readily admitted and pledged support in the drive to stamp their clubs into ill repute and earning them the name of the Riot Club. The Riot Club and the Rewards Club denied all part in the war, although William Jones, of the former club, admitted that social affairs which they had attended been crashed from parents commended the AFRO expose and declared that they would take stents to curb the growing tendency toward lawlessness.

Wilberforce to Stay, with Others Grade A Colleges. Plans for the merger of several of the colleges operated by the A.M.E Church, in order to reduce the overhead of individual operation and build up storage institutions by construction of educational trades, are being devised by various consultations upon recommendation of the Bishop's Council which met in San Antonio, Texas, recently. The program calls for the consolidation of Kittrell with Ailen University, Payne and Ailen with Turner, Pauline and Shorter with Flipper-Key-Davis with Western University, and Morris Brown with Edward Waters. The program, Bishop A. L. Gaines told the AFRO, will make possible improvements in the physical aspects of the favored schools as well as promote the scholastic standards which are required for under the present arrangement. To Discuss Allen-Kittrell A commission for the merger of Kittrell and Allen, complete trust and officers of the General Conference, will inspect both institutions with the end in view of determining which of the two in the district will be salvaged. There are strong arguments on both sides that which will require utmost care and consideration in reaching a decision. Backers of Kittrell contend that they have the finer of the two plants and are better able to carry on the educational program of the which will require utmost care and consideration in reaching a decision. Backers of Kittrell contend that they have the finer of the two plants and are better able to carry on the educational program of the which will require utmost care and consideration in reaching a decision. Backers of Kittrell contend that North Carolina is already advanced educationally with strong state institutions for higher learning while South Carolina is behind them in greater degree than Kittrell in point of service to Negro youth. Faculties to Draw Pay This plan will be followed in all of the mergers. It is thought that during the course of the year the teachers can conduct themselves, commissions will discuss other mergers during the summer and fall and it is hoped that the complete program will become effective by the next general conference. Wilberforce then will retain the only "University" of the connection, with the courses in theology concentrated there. The other "Universities" will relinquish this designation and be accredited by A college. The reduction in overhead will make this aim possible. Hartford Church Bars Anti-Lynching Meeting HARTFORD, Conn.-A meeting to protest against lynching was barred from the Mt. Olive Baptist Church here, according to officials of the American Baptist Church. The meeting, according to officials of the organization, was one of a series called following the recent Tarboro, N.C., lynching, and was barred by the pastor, the Rev. James Tarboro, of Tarboro Manufacturers Association got wind of the affair and informed the board of trustees of the church that the church should not be made available for a meeting by that organization. The church was barred from air, and when halted by police, more than five hundred Negro and white workers-marched to the Labor Lyceum, where it was completed. The action of the board of trustees in barring the anti-lynching meeting is another link in a long chain of similar acts on the part of the church. In the year 1856 the Baptist ministers of the United States held a southern conference in which they argued that slavery is a divine institution. The Baptist Ministers' Conference of Pittsburgh, a few weeks ago, carried out the orders of the Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation, by refusing the floor to an audience now in the Mt.

(Extracts) In "The Catholic Church and the American Negro," written by Rev. Bey J. H. Hood, he hoped for more courteous and fair treatment than is sometimes allotted to them in the South. Had the author confined his effort to statistical data alone, the then greatly enhanced, the hasty, illogical inferences, and the decidedly non-Negro point of view detract seriously from its uselessness as a basis for adopting meth- In this book, the Nerro is seldom mentioned in discussion without offensive characterizations: it is "primitive," "fledging," "uncultured"; a "dusky people," "the people of the child stage of intelligence"; and "We must note that ancestry of a low type such as that of most Negroes has rendered them morally incompetent; while the missioners must have special adaptability to the racial mentality of this infamous race." Father Gillard is particularly suspicious of Negro leaders. To him they are only "so-called race leaders"; they are "blinded" by consumerism and by advancement that is blinded them to difficulties. They are "picayenne race writers" and have a "chip-on-the-shoulder attitude." The Catholic Negroes are to exaggerate conditions of neglect. For many years, Catholic Negroes have had strong doubts about census figures occurring in Catholic literature. They are sitting at the number of Catholic Negroes in the various parishes is undertaken, the figure, "204,000," given in this book cannot be trusted as being much nearer the truth than the reported for many years.

TE FOR Republican had the society were certain obvious difficulties at the time, but it was argued that a seminary established for the sole purpose of preparation for the priesthood could have no racial considerations of an embarrassing nature to prevent the reception of Negro students. The fact is that at that time, the seminary doors for a time were practically closed to colored boys, which led many to believe that the society had had most proper access to reaching colored people. "The Catholic Church and the American Negro" seem to corroborate this belief. It asserts that there is a question as to whether the society is opportune for a colored priesthood. I do not hesitate to say that the most outstanding defect in the Catholic Missionary field in the South to be the absence among them of colored priests. Colored priests will have the hardships, inconveniences, and humiliations to which their sacrifice has been subjected. The church has ample knowledge of the quality and integrity of Negro martyrts. It is likely that if church records in China are not available, the church that foreign missioners, too, oppose the making of Chinese priests and Chinese bishops on the premise of their being unfit and not to comply with the religious obedience of their people, or of their otherwise being deficient in character.

The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly Leaders Admit That Women Have Not Used Ballot Wisel Lack of Understanding, Failure of Church and Other Organizations to Instruct in Exercise of Franchise Blame for Inability to Take Advantage of Ballot. MUSIC LESSONS Taught by A. JACK THOMAS ALL INSTRUMENTS AND THEORY TAUGHT 1418 Druid Hill Avenue Phone Lafayette 2413 (Reprinted from Last Week's City Edition) With the observance of the tenth anniversary of woman's suffrage, Baltimoreans have expressed the opinion that the women of the race are not taking full advantage of their right to vote, in interviews given to an AFRO reporter this week. Reasons for this lack of interest are expressed by three people active in public work, two women in the dom. Blame was laid on several causes including the church, economic conditions, and the influence of men. Not Awakened J. Howard Payne, candidate for the State Legislature; "The women who are active in politics are doing an unusual amount of thinking and are doing much to elevate mankind in general. As evidence of their efforts, in recent conventions, they proposed a resolution that efforts be made by the women voters to have another amendment to the Constitution providing equal rights for women in every region. "As a general rule, however, the colored women do not seem to have awakened to the possibilities that are their in the use of the ballot. "In as much as Moses was the first given power would not be out of place for women, by means of of special programs, in the laws of popular government. It should be stressed that politics is more involved than it is a voice to be making of the laws that govern their every day conduct. "The laws are made in the State Legislature or in the United States Congress, and in their final analysis predicate upon the ten commandments and the Sermon on the Mount." Understanding Needed Mrs. Veola G. Coleman, chairman of the Fourth Ward Co-operative Council. "I feel that women do not take the proper advantage of the ballot because they do not understand it. Many do not have the opportunity to attend meetings where they might be instructed because of economic pressure. Others do not understand it because they stay at home and do necessary contacts. Consequently, they do not know why they should vote." Lectures Given "Women who understand the ballot, when talking with those less informed, should direct their conversation to the ballot so the women will get the idea. "The Women's Civic League and several other organizations have programs during the year for the purpose of educating women covering practical questions, and discussions are indulged in, but if women stay at home and fail to attend the places of instruction, they will fail to take their proper place." Reply Much Miss Alene Griffin, Girl Reserve Secretary of the W.X.G.A. Kerry in the x-wing. "To the use of the ballot would be extended if she would learn to exercise a greater independence in casting a vote. Too many women rely upon the advice of their husbands or relatives. "Women should study the poll- celation of the individual candi- der." Chicago Girl to Head "Y" Industrial Work Miss Vivian Garth App-joined as organizer at Drudl Hill Aven- Branch Miss Vivian L.

HENRY "PARADES" Va. Rebels Hit; No Two-Year Terms. F. LOUIS R. LAUTIER DETROIT, Mich. Delegates to the thirty-first annual grand lodge of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World overthrew a dictatorial leadership and voted independently on legislative matters and for the election of officers in the closing days in the five-day session held here last week. Philly Selected Philadelphia was selected as the next meeting place despite uncertainty on the part of the administration of leaders as to whether they want to. They fear that Dr. John M. Meeusen, exalted rule of Quack City Lodge, will oppose Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson in 1831. When the convention recessed last Friday morning, word was sent out to give its convention to Baimore. The Philadelphia leaders threatened trouble and at the same time pledged Wilson their support. Demonstration Staged The biggest demonstration of the convention occurred when Past Grand Exalted Ruler T. Gillis Nutter announced that the next business of the convention was the selection of a 1931 meeting place. Philadelphia supporters burst in song, "Hall, Hall the Gang's All Here." As they sang they marched around the hall with Judge Henry in the lead. A quartet from O. V. Catto Lodge sang "Philadelphia All the Time." The nomination of Philadelphia as the next meeting place was made by Judge Henry. He read a letter from Mayor A. M. makey inviting the Elks to hold their next convention there. He also read a letter from the Commerce and a radio message from Mayor Mackey killing him to urge Philadelphia for next year. Before concluding his speech, he pledged his loyalty to the administration. Dr. Marquess extended an invitation to the grand lodge to hold its next session in Philadelphia on behalf of Quaker City Lodge. In the course of his speech he pledged his city and remarked that "No one expected with either lodge is interested in the candidacy of anybody or any office." He also disavowed a report that he would be a candidate for grand exalted ruler in it. Baltimore Nominated The vote in favor of Baltimore was taken first. When it became apparent that Baltimore could not win, Baltimore was withdrawn. Los Angeles 1932 The grand lodge suspended its rules and selected Los Angeles for its meeting place in 1932. More Independence The show of independence came again when the committee on law revision presented its report. The very first proposition provided fraternal insurance plan. The committee recommended that the grand ruler be authorized and directed to appoint three additional members on the fidelity fund commission to study and work out a feasible plan of group insurance for each subordinate lodge and the committee as augmented be directed to a report with recommendations to the next grand lodge session. The lodge voted down the commit- recommendation. No Longer Terms in Office The administration leaders met their next and most complete defeat on the committee's recommendation for an increase in the term of office of grand lodge leader. A proposition submitted for S. D. Walton, president of the New York State Association, provided for an extension if the term of office of the grand exiled ruler to two years. The committee recommended a term of two years for all grand lodge officers except the grand trustees and auditors. Opposition to the recommendation became so great that Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finkel Wilton in an imposition speech asked the withdrawal of it. Va. Rebels Hit position ained at the leaders of other grand lodge in Virginia was Slaps O.K., but Punches All Wrong ATLANTIC CITY. N.J.—(ANP) "I don't mind him slapping me in the face like he used to do, but when he breaks my nose. I have to do something." Lulu Johnson of City Avenue, told a judge at a hearing of James Gibson of atrocious, assault and battery. The complainant said Gibson had been her husband in name only since last October, but had not supported her during that time. Early Monday morning the couple had an argument over family affair, and Gibson took her a terrific punch. When she screamed, he attempted to choke her, and when that did little good, he punched her nose and pushed her head through a pane of glass. Gib's bail was $2,000. passed. It would impose a fine of $250 or expulsion from the order or any members conspiring to break up any branch of the order. It also authorizes the grand exalted rule to confiscate the charter of any lodge that makes part in any such conspiracy. Unemployment On the recommendation of the committee, the matter of unemployment was referred to the local lodges with authority to appoint a committee on employment and take quakerer. The grand lodge refused to reduce the annual tax of 10 cents a member imposed on members of the grand temple. The grand temple, through its officers, Mrs. Abbie M. Johnson, daughter of the late Kellet Kellet and daucher secretary, and Mrs. Frances Young, grand treasurer, asked a reduction of the tax from 10 cents per capita to $1.00 a temple. The committee also disapproved all propositions for a reduction of the tax on taxes of one member a member and the grand lodge sustained its action. Eagle Taken Over The grand lodge voted to buy and publish the Washington Eagle, now a weekly tabloid owned by Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson. It will be published as a monthly magazine and be the beef of the order. The cost of publishing the magazine will be met out of 15 per cent of the annual grand lodge per capita tax. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson is to receive 5 per cent of the gross revenue of the lodge. A committee of three Elks appointed by the Grand exalted ruler will serve as a publishing board. Pay Increased Only one officer received an increase in salary. He is Perry W. Howard, grand legal adviser, whose salary was increased from $1,200 to $3,000 a year. Bond Places Second G.

Mitchell, whose lodge, Monarch, was suspended for the non-payments tax prior to convention. Mitchell did not attend the grand lodge session. Simons was nominated by Charles Joel also of New York City. Herbert E. Jones, exalted ruler of Columbia Lodge. Washington, D.C., seconded the nomination, Dr. D.C. Walker of Ireland. Ohio imposed a suspension of the rules and his unanimous election Warner Renamed When the election of a grand treasurer was reached, the convention was in tumult for the re-election of Henry S. Warner of New York City. A demonstration was staged. Judge Edward W. Henry of Philadelphia arose to nominate Warner. He decided it was not required and a suspension of the rules and his office was an unanimous vote. The delegates staged a second demonstration for Warner. The name of Charles C. Diggs, chairman of the general committee on arrangements, was presented to the convention, but when Diggs saw there was no enthusiasm in his favor he asked withdrawal of his name. Warner was re-elected by acclamation. James B. Allen, of New York City was re-elected grand auditor by a unanimous vote of the grand lodge. E. B. Ewing, exalted ruler of Glenbardia Lodge, Washington.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, September 6, 1930 ELKS' TROUBLES NOT OVER, LEADERS FEAR ELKS' TROUBLES NOT OVER, LEADERS FEAR Opponents Girding for Another Bitter Contest in 1931. 33 NEW LODGES Panama, England and Philippines Have Organizations. DETROIT.—(ANP) — Although J. Finley Wilson was re-elected grand exalted ruler of the Elks by acclamation in one of the most sweeping victories of his eight years of service, oil has not yet been spread on the troubled waters of Elkdom, according to post-convention rumors now afloat. Of course, this does not mean that all the fighting is over. Mr. Wilson must still consider the possibilities of an entanglement which the activities of certain Elks, meeting in Virginia, have brought about. It will be remembered that Federal Judge Laurence Groner, of the Richmond, Va., district, ruled adversely on the legal status and powers of the order presided over by Wilson. Wilson has appealed from the ruling of Judge Groner. The hearing on the appeal will be held next February. Opponents Still Busy Leaders of the opposition, among whom are George Bates, former secretary; Casper Holstein, New York philanthropist, and Wilson's opponent last year; and James Martin, exalted ruler of the suspended Fort Dearborn Lodge of Chicago, assert the court's action on the appeal before developing their plans for the cleansing of the order. They insinuate that Wilson's victory here at the convention just closed did not indicate that their opposition had been crushed but that the legal circumstances had forced carrying the fight beyond a certain point this year. It is promised that real fireworks will be exploded after February, 1931. New Lodges Established While the record showed that thirty-three new lodges had been organized during the past year, it at the same time disclosed the fact that concentrated effort in eight of the large centers of Elkdom had resulted in the increase in each of more than 1,000. New lodges, according to Wilson, were organized in London, England; in Panama, and in the Philippines. The reports of the grand exalted ruler showed that out of the 118 lodges cited for contempt, for failure to pay the annual tax, few had been obdurate. Identity bonds back all funds, and no funds of the order have passed through the hands of officials not bonded, the records show. son stated that the failed State Bank of Chicago and another financial institution in Wilson, N.C., were amply protected and that the order would not lose a cent. Parade Two Hours Elks wended thier way through crowded streets here Wednesday, led in triumph by J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler. Countless bands, patrols, marching clubs, and floats of the city off the city for more than two hours. Starting promptly at 1:00 p.m., at Picquet and Brush, the parade moved south to Madison; west to Witherall; east to Grand Circus Park, where the grand exalted ruler and grand officiant marched. The Elks' one-thousand-voice convention chorus sang "Lift Every Voice and Sing" as the grand officials entered the reviewing stand. Registration headquarters for delegates was established Saturday by the local committee at Hastings and Manitoba, evening thousands were milling for miles up St. Antone and the side streets adjoining it. Breakfast was served to the grand temple officers at Jap's Grill at 10:00 a.m. and at 8:00 p.m., a reception was given to grand officials by the citizens committee, at Belle Isle Casino. Kelley Returned The election of J. E. Kelley as grand secretary, quickly followed the reading of his report, covering the condition of the finances of the organization. His records showed that he had been a vice president of Johnson would be on hand after the expenses of the thirty-first annual session had be deducted. The report of Dr. William J. Thompkins was a comprehensive survey of the health program of the order during the past year. He made extensive and well appointed suggestions covering a plan which, if finalized, would be implemented of the grand ledge program will secure for the membership of the order a better insurance rate from all old line legal reserve companies. WHITE WORKERS JOIN EXECUTION PROTEST Police Ordered to Smash WILMINGTON, Del.-Police chased here last week with more than 200 white and Negro workers of the International Labor Defense when they met in front of the jail to protest what they called a "legal lynching" of Theodore Russ, convicted of assaulting a white woman near Woodside. Members of the Defense and the American Negro Labor Congress declare that the chief evidence upon which Russ was convicted had been repudiated by the witness who gave it, but that white Wilmington officials were bent upon punishing some one. When the workers met in the protest meeting at a street corner near the jail, the police charged the crowd and arrested several of the leaders. Look for Speakers Following this, it was said, the police combed the Nezero section for speakers who might call together other meetings. It was also feared that they would be run out of town, Russ, who was executed Friday, was charged with criminal assault upon a white woman, a Mrs. Reed, living near Woodside, belo¹ Dove.. He was convicted on the testimony of Linwood Grav who swore at the trial that he saw Russ break into the home of Mrs. Reed and that, sleeping through the key, he he saw Russ assault the man, Grav later made an affidavit repudiating his testimony. On the basis of this affidavit, Russ's attorney made an appeal for a new trial.

PALACE DESCRIBED Furniture of Throne Room Consists of Cushions. PARIS. — Two French aviators, Rabatel and Massot, who spent several months in Abyssinia, have returned and are giving what are perhaps, the most graphic accounts of that country, that we have so far bad. They speak of that ancient Negro empire as being extremely rich in natural resources, with many wealthy princes, and a very desirable climate —Abyssinia is called the Switzerland of Africa. It is, therefore, easy to understand they say, why so many greedy eyes are fixed on it. The Palace Emperor Tafari they found to be a most enlightened man living in a solendil palace. Their audience with him they describe as follows: "They walk in hill, surrounded by high walls with to-vers the innermal palace. But the ascent is not difficult for us. Our trip is drawn up there by men for at the capital no person of consequence ever walks in some anywhere. The palace is surrounded by palace we must pass through three gates. At the first is a great crowd 's solicitors of all sorts, men, women, and children; at the second, are bar-footed guards, rifles on shoulders, in their Ethiopian uniforms; passing the third we enter the palace, an armored building, flanked with many small ones. All Sit on Cushions "Here we are now in the imperial sanctuary. The Lord Chamberlain with the most careful observance of court etiquette ushers us into an immense hall, at the end of which is the throne, 'formed of the cushions' by the Emperor himself sitting in Oriental style. "He is wearing a erv splendid mantle, superbly embroidered. We are struck by the fineness and grace of his form, and even more by the extraordinary vivacity of his countenance. "With his dark skin, his well-knew beard, and delicate mustache he resembles strangely soma portrait painted on emerald by a Persian artist. The King of Kings greets us with a slight inclination of the head, and the conversation commences through an interpreter for a visiter in court etiquette it is against court etiquette by a visitor of gladish. French the Language "The emperor speaks in a voice that we can hardly hear and without any inflexion. We can hardly see his lips move. The interpreter translates for us the royal word, and, we admit it was a bit disconcerting to see this sovereign maintaining the frozen attitude of ancient Oriental monarchs while he was discussing the most colossal progress of modern times, especially aviation on which he is perplexed. But soon his enthusiasm got the better of him, and suddenly, putting the interpreter aside, he addressed himself directly to us, in the purest and most unexpected French, for another two hours. "It was indeed astonishing, this strange duality of the Emperor: one hand, a man simply aristocris to hear all the mechanical ornals of Western civilization, on the other a man equally anxious to preserve all the customs of his country which date back to a time when the word progress, had never even been heard of." Cork Helmet The private life of the Emperor reflects the same, saw the aviators. If the service in the palace with its exactitude, care, and quality is Oriental, much of the furniture and fixtures are quite modern. The monarch holds the balance between East and West, not adopting the terms of the Middle or entire detriment of those of the East. His ordinary dress also reveals that, and to keep off the sharp raws of the sun he wears, sometimes a cork helmet of the kind worn by white men in the tropics. Each morning he receives in grand pomp all his ministers in a week, surrounded by his notables to witness justice, "but he takes tea at five o'clock, goes to the races, and adores the automobile. "Tradition, however, follows him even when he is auto-riding. in the men of his special guard who run behind his car. these men possess an unbelievable endure. and it is only when the car hits it up at thirty miles an hour or so, that they will abandon their course. As a rule, the royal car does not go fast. Rises of A. A. M. Rises at 4 A.M. "Moreover the Emperor has little time for auto rides or for the chase which is his favorite sport. He devotes himself almost entirely to the affairs of his empire. Rising at four a.m. he is at work before five. He does everything, regulates everything, and sees everything. Those who watch him thus working fifteen hours are alarmed but not unnecessary, and to be in excellent health, and to possess an energy superior to his very difficult task." will be one of the striking features of the show.

CHICAGO.—That some of the officials of the recently closed South Side banks may face embezzlement charges, was hinted at a stockholders' meeting at Wendell Phillips High School, Sunday afternoon. At this meeting, which was the second held since the closing of the banks, J. E, Mitchem, secretary of the Underwriters Mutual Insurance Company, and chairman of the depositors' Committee, declared that evidence pointed to a belief that officials of some of these banks knew that the banks were insolvent before they closed and before they ceased taking in deposits. "If," he declared, "the officials were aware that these banks were insolvent when they took these deposits, the officials are guilty of embezzlement." Stock Misrepresented It was also brought out at the meeting that stock salesmen from some of the banks had represented the stock as "gold bonds" and "Libery bonds" when purchases were made. Many persons stated that they had bought bonds and had left them with the bank for safe-keeping. In some other cases persons said that they pledged genuine stock and bonds owned by them for loans for much less than their face value and that they will be called upon to pay their loans or their securities will be solitary. The meeting comprised depositors of the Roosevelt Bank "vs State Bank, the Citizens Trust Co., company, and the Binge State Bank.

DEPRIEST WARNS CHURCH PEOPLE OF COMMUNISTS CLEVELAND.—"I am asking the preachers to do their utmost in discouraging the Negroes in listening to Communist propaganda. The intelligent use of the ballot by the Negro in America will do the Negro more good than any amount of Communist propaganda," said Congressman Oscar DePriest last Thursday night. He was speaking before an audience of nearly 1,000 attending the National Convention of Congregational and Christian Workers Among Colored People, in session at Mt. Zion Congregational Church, Central Avenue and E. 55th Street. When asked about the filling of vacancies at the West Point Military Academy, DePriest, said: "There are no vacancies now that I can fill. Both will be filled with Negro boys. I shall keep on appointing Negro boys to West Point. If they are not fit physically or can not pass examinations, I will try again, until the proper ones will stay. If none can stay, I will not be ashamed of that. I tried my best," he said.
