Similar Treatment Prepared for Pickens. (The Associated Negro Press) HAVANA, Cuba. — Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, famous woman leader of the United States, and President R. P. Sims, of Bluefield Institute, with members of their families, were held back and annoyed when they were about to disembark at Havana. The Cuban officials later claimed that they acted under suggested wishes of the United States government officials in harassing and discouraging Negroes from coming into Cuba. Would Pass Light Skins President sims and his daughter, being lighter of skin, were about to be passed by the special, while Mrs. Bethune, being plainly Negro, was held up. But they made it known that they killed all of the same party, and refused to be separated. The arm land of Mrs. Bethune, and the intervention of a be passed by the official, while Mrs. Bethune, being plainly Negro, was held up. But they made it known that they were all of the same party, and refused to apartate. The firm hand of Mrs. Bethune, and the intervention of a explored family in Cuba, saved the day. But the officer, to save his face, held back their return tickets, for which they had to call later. The Cubans say it is the Americans; the Americans, when you tackle them about it out of the hearing of Cubans, say it is the Cuban government. The Negroes believe the thing inspired by Americans. They had even refused to sell the Simses and Bethunes round trip tickets from Miami, Fla. to Havana,—saying it was "orders," and that they were not to "encourage Negroes to go to Cuba." Pickens Goes In Four days after the arrival of the Sims-Bethune party, William Pickens landed from the Morro Castle, of the Ward Line, from New York, Mr. Pickens thinks he would have met similar treatment, and would have been threatened with being sent to Tiscornia, the Juban "Ellis Island," if the Club Atenas had not heard of his coming and made representations to the Cuban government to prevent any imminent or inconveniences being put upon him. The president of the club, Senator Cornelio Elizadey Lima, and the secretary, Senator Ramon Valdes, had made representations directly to the Cuban government and secured theitten card of the Immigration Bureau of the Mr. Pickens would have without discrimination upon his arrival. Senor Belisario Hereaux, member of the club and son of a president of Santo Domingo, came in person to the pier to see that nothing went wrong from the government offices of Cuba. Mr. Pickens landed ignorant of what had threatened him and of the people he met, and these people after passing off the ship. The Club Atenas on the same day extended the uses and courtesies of the men, and Mr. Pickens, including its sympathies. Pastor Held up Four Days Other colored Americans have recently been treated with great indignity by this American-inspired policy. The Rev. Mr. Downing of Tennessee, and four high school of Tennessee, have been treated of Tennessee several days, and made to pay for the "accommodations." The contributing editor of the Associated Negro Press will write a letter to Secretary Stimson of the State Department, blim of the situation and protesting against it. He is also establishing contacts in Cuba among those who will fight for equal rights for Negro Americans. Any person planning to visit Cuba is advised to notify William Pickens, 3423 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Ill., or 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. Mr. Pickens can then notify certain people in Havana, and the traveler will be treated if he finds it necessary to fight for his when he reaches Cuban ports. BLEASE BEHIND COLUMBIA, S.

By WILLIAM PICKENS (The Associated Negro Press) HAVANA, Cuba. — One can buy liquors on about every corner in Havana, and in the middle of the block; but I have not yet seen a drunken Cuban. There is gambling of all sorts; a lottery is run by the government, so that gambling is a sanctioned thing by authority. The Morro Castle, as we came down from New York, the Americans gambled, especially on Sunday; there was a "ship's pool," a sort of bet on the speed for a day, in which a few lucky persons got something and the ship officials got the big pile. On English ships on the Atlantic there is a "religious service" and preaching on Sundays; the Americans en route to Cuba, are protected all sorts of business on Sunday. But since both of them try to rob other races, dear reader, you can just take your choice—praying American hypocrites on cran-shooting American barbarians.

Synthetic Blougs Plentiful In Cuba, where the native hair is naturally black and beautiful, you will find a horse of "synthetic blondes." People always want what they have not. In the United States, where there are many blacks, some of them are trying to be white; while in Northern Germany, where everybody is blonde, when a black man comes along, he is the lion of the place. Even the women all express the wish that they could have the beautiful kinky hair of that attractive man. In American, full dress is black; in Cuba, to be really dressed up is to be all in, white—snow-white. Men Served First In America, it is "women first"; in Cuba, the men are all introduced first in polite society and then the women are introduced, even when the ice cream is passed around; the men are served first. But this is no "man's paradise"; the women have a way.

While the youngsters were mighty glad to get back to earth after their long siege among the leo foybucks, just how long they would have remained aloft, had not the school bells nipped their world record ambitions in the bud, is problematical. The youngsters who spent the greater part of the summer in the trees, are Robert and Lawrence Gravely, 10 and 11, of 631 Sickle Street, and Sam King, 14, of 41 Wandless Street, and James Gravely, 14. The latter youth tumbled out of the tree from sheer exhaustion Sunday morning and lost a whole day having totaled only 1,130 hours—or 47 days, while the other three remained 48 days or 1,154 hours. Although very groggy the youth declare they are ready for school. 6 Virginians Wed at Nation's Capital WASHINGTON, D.C.—Six persons from Virginia were among those granted licenses to wed here last week.

Friends of Payne claim a rough deal in which a number of his ballots were thrown out. Early Tuesday morning with 15 precincts out they say their candidate was 90 votes ahead. Davenport Leads Mr. Davenport, who has been prominent in politics for many years, polled the highest vote among the colored candidates, getting a total of 2,038, second only to Helen Elizabeth Brown, white, who polled 2,144. Koger polled 1,833 votes, beating Koger the independent candidate, by 732 votes. Mr. Payne polled 1,228 votes and White received a total of 1,755. The election of two new ward executive brings the colored members of the Republican City Committee up to four. W. Badger, veteran in the 17th ward, whose position was contested by Alexander Williams was re-elected. Badger's opponents are unreconciled and threaten reprisals in the election. David J. Johnson defeated Edwin C. Clark, white, for executive of the 18th ward, when Samuel withdrew from the town the last week and threw his support toward Johnson. This ward is one newly populated by Negroes and will be an important factor in the general election by virtue of its change in the last few years. S.

THESE PARENT SPOILS HONEYMOON OF YOUNG ELOPERS PARENT SPOILS HONEYMOON OF YOUNG ELOPERS Taken into custody here as they were beginning their honeymoon, Ernest Johnson, 21, and his bride, Effie M. Johnson, 17, nee Harrison, were held at the Central police station where charges of perjury were lodged against the youth in connection with the elopement and his statements in securing a marriage license at Rockville, Md., on Wednesday. Johnson and Miss Harrison, police charge, were married at Rockville after running away from their homes in Montgomery county. On his statement for the license Johnson declared that his fiancée was eighteen years of age, on her past birthday. Shortly after they had left for a short honeymoon in Baltimore, the girl's father had warrants issued for the eloping couple. The first warrant charged Johnson with perjury and the second accused the girl of being an incorrigible minor and a runaway from home. When interviewed in his cell at the Cincinnati jail, an AFRC reporter, Johnson shrugged his shoulders and declared, "I have nothing at all to say, fellow." Attempts to interview the young woman brought a flood of tears.

The thing for Brother Becton to do is to seek the aid of the courts and sue me if I am a bigamist, as he claims. That seems more logical and sensible. "I'm not afraid to face him on any of his charges at any time and any place. "I believe he knows that his own letters to me, burning in passionate love and expressing unrestrained fidelity in my religious faith, will be sufficient proof against his arguments."

He offered accompanied me to spiritual meditation. He would sit and study those meetings with much interest.

He didn't want people to recognize home he would say: 'Manna, I certainly like spiritualism; I think it is the right kind of religion.' No more than one occasion Brother Becton has stood up in church and praised my religion, its intelligent services and me. My service was as he asserted if I am the arch archist that he points out, he can rid himself of me in the courts. My religion will be cared for by God Almighty. I hold no seances at any of my meetings as was charged by Brother Becton, and he knows that. Our services are carried on with all the devotion known to other religious folklies. "Spiritualism has been passed upon by the government of the U.S. and proclaimed a religion and not a hellish institution.

Four School Children Mr. McKewen told the interviewer that in one old four school children had been taken along with the other persons arrested.

C. Austin, of Chicago, in his sermon at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, Sunday. "The minister in the church today," said the Rev. Mr. Austin, "is forced to become a business executive.

They do not accept a man merely as a minister of the gospel, but insist that he also be a genius in money matters. As a result of this modern arrangement, we are becoming dead spiritually. We are the living dead. "The average congregation" has lost its vitality, its vitality, its moving spirit, its power to respond to tasks the consciousness of a sacred task, and the zeal for godliness, are dormant," he declared. "The congregation that used to be, back in the years when one gave vent to the feeling of the spirit, is long dead." Dr. Austin continued. "The members of the congregation of this day declare that they get happy and should like the spirit touches because now they have intelligence and can control their emotions." "As a result of their super-education now, they look for the preacher's thought and not for the stir of the spirit. People who are like that are those who form the large group of the living dead. There is life in their bodies, but their spiritual being is dead, like an automobile battery that has no distilled water in it. "Every one living is like an automobile, especially these so-called Christians who are all right when being down hill. They gain momentum then, but when they come to a grade — they find themselves unable to make progress. Like Electric Lamp Demonstrating with an electric light, the Reverend Mr. Austin said: "The construction of this incandescent light is disturbed. The circuit wire within the bulb is broken, and, although there is plenty of current in the main line, there is light in. In similar way, world looks to the light of the sun. Under natural conditions you look like something real, but when you are called on to light the path with truth and reality, with service and sacrifice, with the giving out of life's best, of life itself perhaps, you are blank, dead, and dark. "When you are dead you are like the battery with its broken cell because of a negligent owner. r who fails to supply water or determination or inner force to start your machinery of thought into action. You are unable to carry your capacity of men and material in the building of a great monument. You must be borne by the wrecking crew of the world to carry the funk heap of the obsolete, and to the discard. Breacher Helpless The preacher cannot do everything fe; you; some things you must do for yourselves. The need of the world today is vital gospel, vital Christian- it; vital life, manifested by a regenerated member. You must register on the register in the church vestibule, showing that you have paid your dues regularly, don't be satisfied to sit back and fold your hands. Get out and get the life of mankind and of Christianity into your being. "That will put Christ above the world, it will put love above env, prejudice and malice, it will put injustice and schemes." The purpose of Christ in the world and the principles he left are to impart life and repair the broken machinery of our hearts, Bring us to the heaven to the work shop of the Holy Ghost," the speaker concluded.

EMMETT COLEMAN, Manager BURN DEAD IN STORM-SWEPT SANTO DOMINGO SANTO DOMINGO.—With relief coming in from many sources, the Dominican Republic is recoiling this week from one of the severest hurricanes in its history, which took a toll of 4,000 dead and 10,000 injured. The torrent of wind which tore across the heart of the country reached a velocity of 150 miles an hour, and before it had subsided had leveled buildings and had strenued debris and shattered wood and stone over the entire city, doing damage estimated in the millions. Burn Dead So terrible was the loss of life and so prostrate is the city that officials began at once to burn and bury the dead without benefit of clergy. Help came almost as soon as the hurricane had wasted its strength on the Dominican and Haitian mountainsides. From Port au Prince, from Havana, from the United States, the Red Cross marshalled its forces to send food and medical aid. Soldiers were put to work to construct shelters for the bereft inhabitants and to police the streets against peruders. Haiti Slightly Hit Only one object is known to have grimly withstood this angry attack of caroused Nature. Across the Dominian border, the hurricane tore through the northwest of Haiti, through Grand Riviere, Milot, Cape Haitian, across the Plaine du Nord, Ennery, Plaisance, Gonaive, Port de Piax, St. Mere. Across from the towering mountain of Puilisboro, it struck the face of La Cidade, the great fortress constructed by Haiti's King Henri, more than a century ago. Built stamically on the summit of Bonnet a 'Fevque', this massive refuge of masonry, 2,600 feet high on the crown of a mountain, clove the winds with its sturdy prow, and forced them to continue their way, tearing the coffee trees from the hills around Plaisance and striking viciously at pineapple groves and sisal plantations, recently; laid out where the Indians once held their pow-wows and made pottery. Mostly Negroes The population of the Dominican Republic is one million. It is composed of a smattering of whites, Spaniards, French, and English, and Americans.

N.A.A.C.P.FIGHT FOR TEACHERS' PAY,NEXT Unequal Salaries of Black and White in Dixie is Cause. TO FILE SUITS Simultaneous Action in Several States. NEW YORK.—By means of suits filed simultaneously in the Federal courts of several Southern states, the N.A.A.C.P. will test the policy of those states to pay colored public school teachers lower salaries than whites during the same work. According to Walter White, acting secretary, the association is planning an intensive campaign of legal action and education of public opinion to secure and protect the Negro's constitutional rights. This campaign is to be preceded by careful, thorough and authoritative studies by qualified experts of the legal, economic and factual background of each situation. It is contemplated that the first point to be taken up is that of the unequal apportionment of public school funds by certain states, such funds including not only state funds, but Federal appropriations to the various states for education. The succeeding steps are to be determined by the exigencies of the situation. It is hoped that with the money which has been made available, the Association will be able to go extensively into the various fields in which the Negro now is denied, in whole or in part, his constitutional rights as a citizen. In the matter of public school funds, it is the N.A.A.C.P.'s intention to institute 'suits simultaneously in a number of states. It is hoped that by this means not only will tangible progress be made but that public attention may be focused upon this important subject. The Case in Baltimore In.

The year before, a local association instituted suit to compel the equalization of teachers' pay and would undoubtedly have won the case. The city's action made the pushing of this suit unnecessary. The University of Maryland The colored people of Maryland are barred from the University of Maryland — college, law, medical and agricultural departments — although this university is supported wholly out of taxpayer's funds. Nor is any education of this type provided for Negroes at public expense. In the Counties The most shameful robbery of school funds which should go to Negroes takes place at present in the counties of Maryland. The state law provides a minimum pay of $40 to $85 per month for teachers in colored elementary schools and $600 to $1,500 per year for white teachers. The state fixes minimum salaries for colored teachers by the month and for white teachers by the year, defying the 14th Amendment to the Constitution which provides: "No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States." A bill to equalize the pay of these county teachers passed the lower house of the legislature and was defeated in the senate, 15-14.

An investigation of the attempted segregation of Negroes from bathing beaches in front of hotels at Atlantic City, undertaken by Walter White, acting secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., discloses that the attempted segregation has no justification in law in as much as the beach belongs to all the people. Returned to New York from his visit to Atlantic City, Mr. White made the following statement: "There have been no proper bathing accommodations for colored people in Atlantic City since the closing of Wall's bathhouses. Although by the terms of the city charter, the beach front belongs to all the people and may be used by them, some of the hotels have employed special colored police to direct colored people away from the beach in front of the hotels, to a less desirable part where there is no shade under the boardwalk and where such shade can be had only by renting beach umbrellas. Colored Cops Refused "The special police, uniformed and paid by the hotels, had no authority to expel colored people from any part of the beach, but many colored people who did not know their rights moved away when they were some of the colored policemen declined to do this work of segregation. Leaders are Silent "Unfortunately many colored people in Atlantic City hold political positions or are in some way employed by the hotels or through the political powers that be, and therefore have failed to raise their voices in protest. But the mass of colored people in Atlantic City resent this silence on the part of colored leaders and still more resent the illegal attempt to deprive them of their bathing privileges." Congressman Endorses Jim Crow Mr. White, while in Atlantic City spoke with Congressman Isaac Bachrach, brother to Mayor Harry Bachrach, who admitted endorsing the segregation program, and the Congressman denied having received protests against it. Thereupon Mr. White pointed out that he had been molested by the special police and that fear of losing jobs were keeping some colored citizens silent.

MCCOY'S COD LIVER OIL TABLETS Congressman Bachrach expressed resentment that "outsiders" should mediate in the segregation issue. State Senator for Open Beach A. received the attention he held in the recount sessions of Atlantic City, Mr. White reports that State Senator Emerson Richards said plainly that it was absurd to try to exclude colored people from the Atlantic City beaches, that the "harmony dinner" should have have been and that white people were not forsaking Atlantic City for Canadian resorts as reported, because of colored bathers, but in order to get liquor. At this dinner Mayor Bachrach sponsored efforts to segregate efforts, Mr. White reports. Mr. White said in conclusion: "The legal right in the situation is clear. It is entirely with the colony. We want visitors to Atlantic City should know and act upon this information." 200 Colored Engineers Estimated in U.S.A.

D.LLAS, Texas. — Although War Mothers are listed in practically every state of the Union and thousands of Negro soldiers went "over there" from the South, five States yet have no members of the American Legion. This fact came to light this week as the state body in Texas refused to consider the question of organizing Negro veterans when the matter came before that body. The question of "Negro buddies" in Texas was agitated this year, not so much because of the yielding to Negro demand that they be allowed to join, but because that other veteran policies with more liber-aries may capture the Negro World War vets. Five States The five states which have no Negro legionnaires are Texas, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. For the same reasons which made proponents of Negro inclusion bring the matter before the Texas convention, movements looking to probable organization of either separate group or both groups in postpos with whites have been started except in Florida. The American Legion of that state, composed wholly of white members has gone on record as opposed to Negro participation in any way. In Texas the matter has so far been taken as a jest by the controlling element in the Negro Singing School with Majors to har Negros from using the name and paraphernalia of the order in that state, they have tried to "laugh off" this failure, and the attitude on the Legion question is to laugh at any idea of Negroes participating in any sort of fraternal activity. They say that they may authorize posts for "Negro war buddies next year, may- Other States Of course in most states the Negro is included in the program and organization of the Legion. In Arkansas, the State body went on record some time ago as strongly recommending the inclusion of Negro posts. There are posts in North Carolina, Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia, Oklahoma and even provision for posts in Mississippi. In all of these states, however, the Negro posts are separate units, but all having some allignment with the white organization. In Tennessee, there are six Negro posts with 900 members, stimulated mainly by George Lee. Memphis includes man and lieutenant of R. R. Church. This Legion membership, because of its numerical strength, is a factor in the State convention, and is represented on the executive committee Sharn Lines Wrapped up in the Legion question is one of the most acute problems developed by the war, according to the traditions Southernner, the Southernner, the Southner, to some stand with or against that large prejudice-controlled element that feared that they would not be able to keep subservient, politically and economically, the men who had had the experience of facing war conditions in Europe. They did not question their bravery and loyalty, as so much as they would never be the docto group subject to exploitation, which had been their former lot in Dixie. The war had also produced, however, a younger group of whites who had a conscientious attitude towards fair play, and this group has been heard from from time to time as the matter came up for deliberation in bodies. This was the case in Texas. COCHITUATE, Mass. — Levt. Percy H. Steele enjoys the distinction of being the commander of the Cochituate Legion Post of which he is the only Negro member.

Straw hats tossed into the trash baskets at the end of the summer season of 1930 will not exceed the number thrown away at the end of the 1929 season, according to the Textile Division of the United States Department of Commerce. Due to the recent practice of the youth of the country in going less in the summertime, the number of straw hats worn by people of the country has not increased materially during the past few years. The average life of a stiff straw hat is one year; so it can be expected that the trash man will not many of them in the debris he collects since the straw hat season is nearing a close. However, in this debris, it is inscribed that only panama hats which have been worn for five years or longer will be found. Panama hats may be worn for at least four years, and well cared for they sometimes stay for years. In contrast to the general supposition, the Panama hat is not never has been worn in the tradition of Panama," said the Division "These hats are made in South America, principally in Ecuador, Columbia and Peru. "During the building of the Panama railroad, which began in 1855 and was completed in 1855, among fine hats made in Ecuador of tough cotton, Panama hats were quickly devised in Panama, who quickly disposed of them to visiting Americans, Germans, Englishmen and Frenchmen. "Owing to the success and profit of the sale, numerous consignments of importance were soon after marked at Panama and shortly after found their way to the United States and their countries. "The name Panama" remained with the hats. One dealer in Panama, selling hair said that his stock is valued at free $1.50 to $500 with little call for the latter class. The $500 hats, he said are purchased for the most part distinguished persons desiring to mix a present to another as equally tinguished. One dealer explains that the best offer is in the $10 to $30 hats, but that dozens of $150 hats are in the tourist shops of Colon sa Panama City each season.

COLES NEWARK, Del.—I addressed an audience of some seven hundred or more persons, mostly white, who had gathered themselves together in a students conference at Delaware University, Sunday. I was very pleasingly surprised to receive such long applause and laughter when I stated very emphatically that I wanted absolute, unadulterated social equality with every other person on earth and that I did not give a damn whether the white man interpreted that social equality to mean marrying a white woman or what not. In other words I preferred being in bell on equality with every other person than to be in heaven with a cracker over me as a boss. Absolute Equality My subject was, the Negro cannot get his full manhood rights unless he is given absolute social equality. The subject was well received. The students were given twenty minutes to discuss the subject from the floor and fifteen minutes to ask questions, and in turn I was given fifteen minutes to make a summary of all that had been said, and was received in seeming-good faith. 50 Read the AFRO Fifty students expressed their appreciation for the AFRO-AMERICAN and what it is trying to do to set the Negro before the world as a man. They praised the snappy editorials of the magazine and said that they were deeply interested in W. N. Jones's column and thought that it was splendidly written. Ten of the students had read the Kansas City Call and thought it a great city. They well meditated. They like Roy Wilkins's column very much. They said that he is equal to Carl Sandburg. Philly Tribune Five students of Pennsylvania had read the Philadelphia Tribune and expressed their appreciation for the work in Pennsylvania and especially for Mr. Eustace Gay's column and said that it is very well written. Journal and Guide Three students from the state of Virginia expressed their extreme interest in the Journal and Guide, and especially its well written editors. They said that the Guide is doing a great work in Virginia to educate the white people in regard to what the Negro is doing. Chicago and Washington A number of students had read the Chicago Defender, many of them expressed their esteem for the way the paper handles international news and the cultural policy but did not like the make-up of the Defender very well. Several students from Washington, D.C., had read the Washington Eagle, the Washington Tribune and the Washington Times, thought those papers were especially well edited, and expressed the belief that they were doing a great work. Students from Georgia Several students from Georgia expressed their interest in the Atlanta Independent and the Savannah Triangle community, doing a great work to help break down the Ku Klux Klan organization and to neutralize the new organization known as the Black Shirts who themselves the Pacifist of America. WIFE TOOK A NEW MATE; HUSBAND WINS DIVORCE (Reprinted from Last Week's City Edition) Claiming that his wife had committed bigamy by entering into another marriage, Otis Glover, 908 Port Street, was granted an absolute divorce in the circuit court from Mrs. Eva B. Glover-Brooks, 125 Tennessee Avenue, Atlantic City, N.J., Saturday. In his testimony given before Mason P. Morif, a special examiner, Glover declared that during a visit to Atlantic City recently, he learned the address of his estranged wife. On visiting the Tennessee Avenue home, he discovered that since their separation, his wife has been married to James Brooks, a resident of Atlantic City. Relating the facts of their separation, Glover declared that he was married December 5, 1919, at Macon Georgia; and was abandoned and deserted by his wife on March 19, 1920, when he indicated the testimony, left the home during the absence of her husband who was at work. She took all of the household furnishings, and moved to an apartment. Believing that she would change his mind and give their marital relationship, Glover paid all the expense for his wife in her new home until she left Macon for Atlantic New York A number of students from the State of New York were deeply interested in the Crisis, and Opportunity Magazine, a well-known acquainted with the Urban League, the N.A.A.C.P., and spoke highly of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, James Weldon Johnson, Walter W. Robert W. Bagnall and William Pickens, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, fellows expressed their appreciation of George S. Schuyler, and said that they did not miss reading his column and said very frankly that they condemned columnist than in the Pittsburgh Courier, eky, Heywood Brown. Judge Parker Most of the students present were in agreement with the N.A.A.C.P. fight against the confirmation of Judge John J. Parker which prevented him from gracing the Supreme Court, and rather they should have disfricting. Judge Hueston The students were puzzled at the comment which was made when Judge William C. Hueston was appointed to an office as per the sage Indiana. They said that Judge Hueston would have been of more service had he stayed in Gary, Ind., than he can be in Washington. They wondered why it is that Negroes make so much adoo about Negroes receiving Negroes do not take it as a matter of course like Italians do when an Italian receives an appointment, or like Jews do when a Jew receives an appointment, since Negroes are citizens I came away from the University of Delaware, feeling that after all if the so-called Negro problem is to be solved it will have to be solved by new students, that is to say, students with problems affecting the world as world problems rather than race problems.

Senator Voted Dixie Jurist. (Special to the AFRO-AMERICAN) WILMINGTON, Del.-Policies in this State from now until the election promises to be unusually interesting. Pierre du Pont, who has given $2,000,000 for the education of colored youth of Delaware, is using every power at his command to have the Democratic party nominate former Senator Thomas F. Bayard to oppose Senator Daniel. O. Hastings, who is assured of the Republican nomination, at the polls in November. Senator Bayard · regarded as friendly to colored people and is very popular with them in this State, and if the Democratic convention should nominate him, it is the opinion of those conservant with the political situation in Delaware that he will be elected. Senator Hastings faces reprisals from the colored electorate for his support of Judge Johnson, a United States Supreme Court bench. He spoke in favor of and voted for his confirmation. He stated on the floor of the Senate that the president of constituents to dictate his vote on the Supreme Court nominees, even though it might cost him his seat in the Senate. The electrocution of Theodore Russ, who was convicted of a criminal contempt, will also figure in the elec. .. The colored people of the State believed him innocent. A committee interested in his defense was unable to face the case. A Republican lawyer takes his case before the board of pardons. Two Democratic lawyers, one of whom was James M. Tunnell, one of the ablest lawyers in the State, appeared before the board and asked for Russ's pardon. A majority of the members of the pardon board are Republican. Charles has always had the support of the colored voters of the eighth ward, is said to ha-e been one of the most powerful members of the party in demanding Russia's electroporation. It is reported from Washington that Senator Hastings in order to bolster his candidacy among colored voters is seeking to have Jefferson Goage appointed recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (1906) King Sisweth, of Cambodia, now visiting in Paris, has half the world laughing but there is no laughing in Paris, the officials are on the ground, and the evacuation. The old monarch is capricious. The other day after an entire army division had been mobilized for his berserk mind about going home, the maneuvers. When he feels like it he orders anything which takes his fancy. He makes it his own, this his own, and is dressed with his afternoon drink. He wakes up in the night and calls for mutton stew and beefsteak to climb Mali. He never saw a big mountain. The most he has seen is little chips on dishes and in drinks. He thinks snow must be a splendid thing. Everything to call off the mountain expedition and have agreed even to set up an ice plant in the yard of his temporary palace. The king must he climb King Sieweth, of Cambodia, now visiting in Paris, has half the world laughing but there is no laughing in Paris where officials are on the augurous prostration. venge of her husband. The old monarch is capitulous. The other day after an entire army division had been mobilized for his benefit he changed his mind about going to war. The menagers. When he feels like it he orders anything which takes his fancy. He takes it and steamed with his afternoon drink. He wakes up in the night and calls for mutton stewed blanc. He asks for blanc. He said he never saw a big lot of ice. The most he has seen is little chips on dishes and in drinks. He thinks snoot must be good. Officials are doing everything to call off the mountain expedition and have agreed even to set up an ice plant in the yard of his temporary palace. The king insists he must climb the Alps. J. N. Mullery Editor and Publisher, 1892-1922. Boy Preachers From Logan, West Virginia, comes the announcement that the Rev. Joe Hubbard Alexander, aged four, boy preacher from Monkongem, appeared on the N.A.A.C.P. program at Amherst-state last Sunday. The Rev. Joe said last Sunday is important. It was probably taught to him in advance by his elders and given out by him as mechanically as a fountain pours forth water. In later years, not so many children were advertised as sensations 20 years ago. The churches themselves took the initiative in eliminating this faking, realizing that sensible people were laughing up their sleeves at the gullibility of Chuck. They realized that if they could hold a child, they couldn't write Latin prescriptions or pull teeth. Nobody ever heard of a boy grocer or a boy lawyer or a girl-wonder hairdresser at four. In fact, all of those youthful sensations have been held by only one unusual quality — ability to memorize a string of words and repeat them in a pulpit. Aside from that, like all four-year-old kids, they have need of milk three times a day, wear a hibit to keep from spilling oatmeal on the tablecloth, and cry when bedtime comes.

In fact, all of those youthful senses have been found to have only one unusual quality — the ability to memorize a string of words and repeat them in a pulp.

Good White Folks Down in Alabama, U.S. Senator J. Thomas Heflin (Dem.) started his independent campaign for re-election last week by adopting as his emblem a Liberty Bell with the slogan "White Control." His original Bell, now in Philadelphia, has long been cracked. In truth, the old bell is as worthless for ringing as is Heflin's notion of liberty, limited by his slogan which can only be interpreted to mean "Liberty for Whites Only." In South Carolina, U.S. Senator J. Thomas Heflin's proposition, although he drinks, is being opposed by ex- congressman James F. Byrnes in a run-off contest this week. Blease in his campaign said: "When the Constitution names between me and the virtue of white women of South Carolina, I say, to hell with the Constitution." Please declared his conviction that lynching is the only successful method of discouraging Negro assaults upon white women. Blease in South Carolina nor Blease is a number one statesman. Like Tightlain and Vardaman, of the old days, they have been elected to office by cheap and sentimental appeals to race prejudice based upon facts easily disproved but plastered over by a fanaticism of the civil war that suppresses the good evangelist. To be sure, Alabama and South Carolina are agricultural states rating high in illiteracy and low in wealth. At the same time, these states are foremost in formating that government. Perhaps it is, but if the "good white people" put in office men like Blease and Heflin, it is time for the "good colored people" to look their good whites straight in the eye and condemn them as fakes and hybrids. The AFROs view is that "good white folks in South Carolina and in Alabama "aint." The AFRO believed that Blease and Heflin are types of the average white folks in the South as long as they believe that Nebraska can take to the long look forward, should resolve that South Carolina and Alabama are states to be blacklisted and avoided. Down in Alabama, U.S. Senator J. Thomas Heflin (Dem.), started his independent campaign for re-election last week by adopting as his emblem a Liberty Bell with the slogan "White Content." The original Liberty Bell, now in Philadelphia, has long been cracked. In truth, the old bell is as worthless for ringing as is Heflin's notion of liberty, limited by his slogan which can only be interpreted to mean "I am not a U.S. Senator Cole Bleasdell (Dem.) who favors lynching and prohibition, although he drinks, is being opposed by ex- congressman James F. Byrnes in a run-off contest this week." His campaign said: "When the Constitution comes between me and the virtue of white women of South Carolina, I say, to hell with the Constitution." Bleasce declared his conviction that lynching is the only successful method of discouraging Negro assaults upon white women. Heflin nor Bleasce is a number one statesman. Like Tighnan and Vardaman, of the old days, they have been elected to office by cheap and sensational appeals to race prejudice based upon facts easily disproved by historical overviews of matrimacism evangelism that have been challenged by evangelist chant. To be sure, Alabama and South Carolina are agricultural states rating high in illiteracy and low in wealth. At the same time, these states are foremost in declaring that government is in hands of the good white people. Perliss it is, but if the "good white folks" of the coffee men like Hilliell it is time for the "good freed people" to look their good whites straight in the eye and condemn them as fakes and hypocrites. The AFROS view is that "good white folks" in South Carolina and in Alabama "ain't". The AFRO believed that Blease and Helfin are on the average white folks in South Carolina and as long as we believe that Naehle can take to the long look forward, should receive that South Carolina and Alabama are states to be blacklisted and avoided. Hurricane The fact that there is more white blood than blade in the vein of Santo Domingo accounts for the fact that Uncle Sam has been satisfied merely to control that government's finances instead of occupying the country with marines as was in the case of Haiti. Haiti and Santo Domingo occupy one island of the West Indies and is located in Jamaica and Haiti. Santo Domingo is larger and as big as Haiti but has only one-half Haiti's population. Early emperors on the island governed both Haiti and Santo Domingo. Eventually, the Spanish speaking mutuates formed their own republic; while black Haiti, with its French language and language of French, was the largest, the blasting hurricane which ravaged the West Indies last week, chose mutilate Santo Domingo City and suburbs, leaving 800 dead, 2,000 injured and 20,000 homeless. Haiti's capital, Port Au Prince, felt only a severe windstorm which simmed jalousie, bent the royal and financial capital of the country. By airplane and by ship, aid was rushed this week to the stricken city, where, beginning at the ocean front, a windstorm travelling 180 miles an hour carried destruction over a path forty miles wide into the interior. Between the two countries, some of whose people are 6,000 to 7,000 feet high, are said to have formed a barrier which kept the storm out of Haiti. In much the same way, the barrier of language in the city of Santo Domingo ruined ships from understanding and visiting their neighbors of color in the West Indies. The fact that there is more white blood than black in the veins of Santo Domingis accounts for the fact that Uncle Sam has been satisfied merely to control that government's finances instead of occupying the sea with marines as a case of Haiti. Haiti and Santo Domingo occupy one island of the West Indies between Cuba and Jamaica. Santo Domingo is twice as large as Haiti but has only one-half Haiti's population. Early in 1814, both governed both Haiti and Santo Domingo, eventually, the Spanish speaking mulattoes formed their own republic; while black Haiti, with its French language and traditions, chose a different course. The blasting hurricane which ravaged the West Indies last week, chose in Domingo City, with 890 dead, 2,000 injured and 20,000 homeless. Haiti's capital, Port au Prince, felt only a severe windstorm which simmed jalousie, bent the royal palms and flooded mountain streams until roads were washed out. By airplane and by ship, aid was rushed to the coast. In the wake of the ocean front, a windstorm travelling 180 miles an hour carried destruction over a path forty miles wide into the interior. The high mountain range between the two countries, some of whose peaks are 6,000 to 7,000 meters high, created a barrier which kept the storm out of Haiti. In much the same way, the barrier of language has kept Negroes of the United States from understanding their neighbors of color in the West Indies. "Simpathy and aid from this country will go where meanwhile, of us, who are more frequently spending vacations abroad, can well afford to turn our back to the Caribbean where live at our door, colored brothers in the Caribbean where live at our door, foreign to us than any native of distant Europe." Keep the Navy Poor With over 700 vacancies at the United States Naval Academy, Washington officials attribute the difficulty in recruiting midshipmen to the poor pay of officers in the navy. They complain that a city policeman is as well paid as a midday ($150 a year, $89 allowances) and a junior business earns more than an admiral ($4,220 a year). Naval officers who pay are depicted as the families according to the highest social standards which means that they spend considerable time in dodging creditors. If this be a true picture, the AFRO says, let the good work go on. If there is any way a midshipman should earn more than a naval t.nant of police, he has been stated convincingly to police department. There have been entirely too much sabbath rattling, decoration with gold braid and gaudy uniform, and bumblecombe about social standing in connection with the training and service of officers of the army and navy. The total been to educate at government and fouse upon our enlisted in a group of military and naval officers dedicated to the principle that war is necessary and common people were made to be cannon fodder. A natural part of this snob policy is the program to keep Negroes out of officers' posts and therefore out of the military and naval schools. To do this, there has been a naval and navy braid in hundred-year-old oil and naval fight best under white officers. Nobody believes this lie, but it serves its purpose and the snobs still hold on to it. With the vacancies accumulating at the academy and the pay still low, the AFRO believes is a good way to keep the navy pooled in an will result in the society cow-boy and the naval swivel chair admirals now in the Navy Department. The navy say, no pay, and will get it down off its high academy where it will be willing to open the academy doors to John Doe, black as well as to William Roe, white. With over 700 vacancies at the United States Naval Academy, Washington officials attribute the difficulty in recruiting midshipmen to the poor pay of officers in the navy. They complain that a city policeman is as well paid as a midday ($1,500 a year, $699 allowances); and a junior business executive earns more pay than an admiral ($8,220 a year). Naval officers with present pay are depicted as striving in vain to maintain themselves and their families according to the highest social standards, while they that they spend considerable time in dodging creditors. If this be a true picture, the AFRO says, let the good work go on. If there is any reason why a midshipman should earn more pay than a lieutenant of police, it has never been stated convincingly to a police department. In fact, there has been entitled too much sabre rattling, decoration with bait, braid and gaudy uniform, and the need to social stand in relation with the training and service of officers of the army and navy. The total result has been to educate at government expense and foist upon our enlisted men a group of military and naval snows, dedicated to the principle that war is necessary and common people were made to be cannon abrasions. A natural point of this snob policy is the program to keep Negroes out of officers' posts and therefore out of the military and naval schools. To do this, there has been kept alive in army and navy traditions the one hundred-year-old lie that Negroes fight the white lie, but it serves its purpose, and the snobs still hold on to it. With the vacancies accumulating at the academy and the pay still low, the AFRO believes a good thing to do is to wear what it means to the elimination of society cow-boys and the anti-Negro swivel chair admirals now in the Navy Department. Keep the navy poor, say we, and maybe will get it down off its high households to be willing to go to the John Doe, black, well as to William Roe, white. Another Rebel Victory Mr. Henry L. Menken, white, liberal editor of the American Mercury, author, and newspaper feature writer, whose articles are syndicated to a number of dailies, married to a wife recently. Colored friends of Mr. Menken shrugged their shoulders at the announcement. Mr. Menken is a native of Alabama. He was a friend of the man that Mr. Menken had delivered many a hard blow upon the heads of the ignorant knights and the slave drivers of the South. "Political parsons" and the emotional "Bible pounders" were not sucked any harder than sensing what some of his friends were thinking. Mr. Menken issued a statement of which the following paragraph is a part: white, liberal editor of author, and newspaper articles are syndicated to tired a wife recently.

Mencenk, white, liberal editor of the American Mercury, author, and newspaper feature writer, whose articles are syndicated to a number of dailies, married a wife, and colored friends of Mr. Mencenk shrugged their shoulders to Montgomery. The new Mrs. Mencenk is a native of Montgomery, Alabama. She and hers knew that Mr. Mencenk had delivered many a hard blow upon the heads of the ignorant yokels and the slave Confederate South. "The pawns" were not socked any harder than the Dixie rebels. Sensing what some of his friends were thinking, Mr. Mencenk issued a statement of which the following paragraph is a part: "The bride-elect and I differ somewhat on politics. As an irrepressible character, she tolerated slavery. Many of her relatives in Alabama in fact still hold slaves. The Confederate army in the tenement of Appomattox in good faith. The Confederate army never has really disarmed; it still holds slaves in Mississippi. More than 100,000 Negroes are still held in slavery in Alabama. As a Liberal I naturally deplore this, but I certainly am not a reformer, and hence plan to do nothing about Well spoken is this paragraph. It does credit to the editor of the American Mercury, which, as the Kansas City Call points out, has printed more articles by and about Negroes than any other magazine of its class. But, honestly, without discrediting Mr. Menken's pre-maptial resolutions, and too, realizing that an old bachelor was somewhat "soft" when he was not a South African, we think that the South has won another victory. Many a man who has resolved to do his own thinking, fails to realize the quiet and painless operation by which his wife takes charge and directs his mental processes. Mr. Menken resisted the wiles of the woman sex until he had reached his point. Our guarer, Mr. Menkenian blasts against ourselves, rebels, slavery and Dixie yokels will be toned down, and that articles by Negroes in the American Mercury will grow gradually fewer in number.

But, honestly, without discrediting Mr. Menkens pre-nupital solutions, and, too, realizing the master of fifty is somewhat "sok" in his ways, nevertheless, we think that the South has won another victory. Many a man who has resolved to do his own thinking, fails to realize the quiet and painless operative of wives who take charge of his mental processes, who has resisted the wiles of the weaker sex until he reached a half-century in years. Our guess is that the Menkian blasts against Confederates, rebels, slavery and Dixie jokies will be toned down, and that articles by Negroes in the American Mercury will grow gradually fewer in number. The Grant won a military victory at Appomattox, but the South has been celebrating its subtle moral victories ever since.

Man with the instinct of the brute, Yields to the woman's gentle touch, Begins to laugh at her. For only a woman can love so much. She labors with him patiently. And turns his desire into love.

To the Editor: Regarding the fight between Elder J. K. Humphrey and Seventh-Day Adventist Greater New York Conference, I feel that Elder Humphrey has done a manly thing to leave the conference, after having 26 years to get back to parishers. For example, the conference has 43 sanitariums, worth approximately 57,700,100, and despite the fact that a large amount of money from colored cemeteries is extremely difficult to obtain from these institutions. to The conference uses under-handed methods by bringing Elder G. Peters from Germany to place him in Lemono on Lenox as a train of the conference to bring some Negro into a city to push another out. And whether Mr. Peters knows it or not, he was appalled by conference just to do injury to his own people. New York City. L. P. COLES.

To the Editor: Some people may argue that the Seventh Day Angel, the Rev. M. S.

Among the things he says is that we keep the wrong day for the Sabbath, the right day being Sunday. That it is sinful to eat hog meat, and many other things that are not good for us. The Reverend Bamfield does not doctor up the gospel to suit the people's fancy, but dispenses it undiluted and you can do it.

To the Editor: I read with a great deal of interest, your article on the prisoners in Belair, who pitched horseshoes on the green. I have worked at Warren's Restaurant, right across the street, where the prisoners there were allowed the freedom that you spoke of. Some even more; only sleeping in the jail at night. Yet I have no freedom, attempting to escape, although one was held on the charge of assault with intent to kill, pending the outcome of injuries he, a cook, had inflicted upon a white prisoner. I am not advocating this system for all prisons or any prison, neither am I condemning the system. I am not advocating this prison plots, breaks, riets, etc. I always reflect on how wonderfully well the Belair jailer handled his charges. **ROBERT A.

The correspondent states that he does not The "Big Negroes" will be telling us many good things now, which will intelligence and good voting; but where and when will you see and hear them again after election day? L. F. COLES. "If you cannot always go smiling through, you can go dreaming through," writes a young woman who says that she has decided that, after experiencing this world may be passing through, this world may be interesting. "For a long time," she writes, "I have accustomed myself to meet the colder realities of life with dreams. They may never come true, but there is a dream that dreams you will be sitting on top of the world." She gets something worth thinking about in the statement of this young woman. We take medicine to allay pain; why not dream day dreams to allay heart aches and disappointments? You dream earnestly enough, you might decide to MAKE them come true. Get yourself into the habit of using a few of your spare moments in dreaming hopeful dreams. View your mansion; see your name blazing in the time-limited of public approval; look at your future bank book and our happy firefighters, suvaying the thoughts and actions of our institution. All of these will be dreams, of course, but all great things began with dreams. So, let us dream. . . . Politics is always interesting down in Georgia, and it does not always have to be Republican politics to be interesting to Negroes. The fact is, the more through distrustless the more potent and more likely there would be elections in Georgia than the most formidable political Democratic machine. Take for instance the Senatorial race there between former Governor Jack Slaton, and the present Senator William J. Harriot. It won't be the incumbent Americans which will decide the battle, but Georgia voters will be driven to the polls and "herded" into line by Negroes and Jews. Fifteen years ago, Slaton, then governor, commuted the sentence of Lee Moe to prison, convicted of taking a little Irish girl. White Gentle citizens of Atlanta stormed the jail and lynched Frank and then voted Slaton out. He caused a riot with them weirds against Jews. If Slaton loses this year, it will be largely because of the shadow of the ghost come back to again average the little Irish girl. On the other hand, Senator William J. Harris voted against the confirmation of Judge John J. Parker, and is being accused by friends of Slaton of favoring National Association of Advancement College. Colored People, the course is saying that he is a "Negro lover" with all that implies down in Georgia. Perhaps these two prejudices, one against the Jew and the other against the Negro, neutralize each other and it means the strongest one will win; but the fact remains that down in Georgia this year the voters will settle a Senatorial primary, not on the dominant issues of welfare to white Georgia citizens, but according to which has infringed most, the Negro, the Negro. After all, it is the whites of the South themselves who are most disfranchised, for it is the white voter who has hating to his neck the millstone of prejudice, the white who must eself his conscience and go like a quarry slave to the polls and vote under the shadows of such ghosts as the Leo M. Frank case and the Negro domination bugaboo. If you live in the Baltimore radio area and were one of the fortunate ones to listen in on WFPR Sunday night, you have a good talking point for boosting your home town. I have listened in on Paul Ellington's rhymic handling of jazz themes and been sorry when Guy Lombardo stopped wielding the baton; but last Sunday night our own Baltimore Ambassadors gave me the truth and promised that he lived in a city with such an aggregation. There are many things about Baltimore which should make us frum, kick and "squawk", but a good school is one that it takes a comfortable seat at the week-end and hear the Ambassadors. And while we are on this radio question, it would pay the Negro leaders of the country to air, for like the pulpit and press, it has become one of the practical means of communication, and of propaganda. One of the most valuable units of our public school system is the night school which is designed to give opportunities to men and women who are at work and who still want to continue their education. Fortunately, the night schools of Baltimore offer a wide range of instruction, designed not only to decrease mere literacy, though it also provides the identical kind of literary and vocational training offered in the day schools. In fact, with the facilities at hand now, any man or woman in Baltimore may attend a school diploma, may train for a vocation, or prepare himself for college and the professions. If you know of a young man or woman who should take advantage of the opportunities it to the community to encourage him or her to do so. Going to night school, which also develops voluntary initiative, produces the kind of stamina of which real men and women are AFRICANS SAY "Africans have much in common with their prowls show.

A person's back is under no obliquity. The Laughs Behind the News BY RALFH MATTHEWS A man down in New Orleans has just learned to read at the age of 100. It's a shame he will be aging so soon that he will now be exposed to the kind of trash that is being printed now. It's pretty tough that he won't have much use for his newly acquired knowledge since he has stopped printing subtitles to movies. Having a knowledge of reading and writing is such a great asset it's a pity college students don't take it up. A lot of people have grown near sighted from reading short stories and have funny epilips from looking at racy pictures. A guy who can't write is lucky; there is no danger of anybody forging his name. It will be all right for a man to start off learning his A B C's at 102 when he is in his second childhood. When he first reads about Jack and Jill going up the hill, hell probably be exposed to the younger generation is coming to. The Sunday papers are getting so large that unless he's a pretty fast reader hell find himself several weeks behind. The only kind of reading some folks are interested in is the reading of a rich relatives will. Some writer has said that "Reading macketh a full man," but it would not do much good to pass out newspapers along a road line and then hand the man a napkin. Of course, newspapers can't really be read, but that is the first thing that some man grabs when they reach the table in the morning. Publishers must be making books larger nowadays because I often hear of men being buried in their books. A man who never looks around when he is absorbed in a book is not a bookworm because a worm will turn. The only kind of books some people want in their libraries are bank books. Knowledge may be power out you selidom hear college professors fight a prize fighter and getting away with it. It doesn't really take any brains to get along in this world any more; just look at all the people who play miniature games when you read them the riot act. The only reading some people can understand is when you read them the riot act. Of course, a man who can't read well, would get along all right if he only corresponded with people who can't write. Some folks think it is more important to know how to count *ban* how to read and write, but money is so simple that you need to know it is simple addition as you'll never have any use for the big figures. The cost of living is so high that it looks like all you do is subtract and divide. Books may contain food for thought, but when winter comes it's better to have the shelves full of canned goods than full of Shakespeare. But if you bought only the works of Lamb and Bacon you could kill two brids with one stone. People who had no opportunity to learn in their own language when they'd be kept in the dark about some things. Of course, it's no disgrace to be dumb, but there is no sense in cultivating it.

The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly CHIPS FROM THE QUARRY The average person, regards good spelling as a sort of gift of Nature, and he thinks that the co-patient has somehow perfected his knowledge. But the acuity of spelling that follows a good proofreader's word is more than a good proofreader's proficiency. More often, indeed practically always, the proofreader has a dictionary — or two — at his hand, and on it, or to them, any writer, or proofreader, to spell with any assurance of accuracy he or she must firmly resolve to let no word go by that or she is not absolutely sure of it. There are many words that a person: ay be able to spell — cat, mame, seed, show. He knows how to spell these and or syllables with similar sounds, corrected and kept, emergency, proceed, precede, charfeur. Now as for myself, I have conquered the word that I finally conquered it — within the last few days. Until very recently, I have not felt sufficiently sure of it to pass it without confirmation by belief in looking the dictionary. And there are other common words in the same category, like "dress" or "wash" in order or occasionally write them out them or a dozen or even fifty times, the word "scratched off my 'stumble' list" is "billon, villain, and fulfil, or full." (One or more) these have several on the list. This is one means that I have written the word "will be relied upon" is the best foundation. And the word "will and determination" is the will and determination. If some writers could hear the derivative remarks made about their own case of bridge or miniature can you smell that word? (food, or even eat or sleep) — until they had attained a decent competence. But may be they are unaware of their lack. P. H. M. H. Fewer and Better Babies. By ALGERNON B. J. BACKSON M.D. (For the Associated Negro Press) John MacEinhinney conducts a column in the Brooklyn Eagle under this his health message: A great deal has been written in regard to the modern tendency toward families, continuing eight or more children is being viewed with alarm. Of course, most of the critics are men. The women seem to be surging well pleased with families. Children last longer now than they were, and another wasn't considered a competent authority on the care of children until she had buried five or six out of her twelve. A few good children are as apt as not, barring accidents, to last a lifetime. Children idea is to have a few children and bring them up scientifically. The old idea was to have five or six extra children to cover expected losses. Children didn't occur, and then the overhead expense became something terrible. Children or today are so well cared for and urged for that they can almost be guaranteed. The only people who have a real kick against modern methods are the greatest step forward came when parents decided that doctors were better posted on what and should eat than was the baby itself. Healthy children are the most economical doctor is cheaper $400 funnel. If things had kept on as they were going there would have been a terrace, housing shortage in the cineries. Of course, modern parents are denied to a dever the desire for comfort and help the departed children would have been to them in their old age, and the documentation, now they are an investment. Train Children How to Cross the Streets Now that September is here and we pack the children off to school for another year, we must not forget safety as it used to be before the day of the automobile. As streets crossings cannot be made safe for children, we must be able to cross safely. The chances of accident for a particular child depend far more on whether safety habits have been taught him on than on other children. Are there some of the safety habits which children should be trained to follow:. 1. Look carefully up and down the street before crossing and do not forget that there is plenty of time to go slowly. 2. Do not rush across the street. Slowly and watch carefully as you go. 3. If you make a mistake and get caught, stand still in the middle of the street. Never dodged back and forth. 4. Do not cross in the middle of the block. 5. Always obey traffic lights and policemen. Greeting or Invocation, Which? Among the war stories told by Raymond S. Tompkins in *American Mercury* for August, is this one which he charges up to a red-headed Boeotia man as a newspaper correspondent "over there." She said: A new colored trooper said to the ranks, "Sam, what do this yere gain'in the-top"神 said, "gain'in the same thing as 'Good morning,' God!" Kelly Miller says That Prevailing Presidential Utterances Gave Were Nothing but Words. N.A.A.C.P. Secretary Erred in Heckling Hoover. By KELLY MILLER At last President Hoever has demonstrated the lynching evil, by proclaiming his secretary was authorized to reply to a request for an expression of sentiment by the redubulous Walter White, that he regards this evil as a threatening national evil. It was wholly unnecessary to the President on record in this book, about way. Everyone knows now good Quaker President must test on this, as on all wicked practices. Who man could be elected President of the Quaker President Hoever is not in the hands of speaking academically or merely for the spectacular effect of an utterance emanating from the White House, after the manner of Tredsworth, who is called upon to enunciation or disfavor every issue of popular interest. When President Coolidge found his administration involved in a mishap of scandal that threatened the destiny of the government, he satisfied the public with a single short sentence—"Everybody knows where I stand." This is all that President Hoover had to worry about until such time as he finds it possible to take constructive action. We have had presidential declarations galore, but they were nothing but words, words, words. Taft Condemned but Did Nothing. I at one time introduced President Taft to an audience that cracked the walls of the Metropolitan Church, under auspices of the Howard University Alumni Association. He addressed his whole discourse to the students, the practice continued just the same. Mere venerable sermonizing by the President on national evil that will for drastic action does more harm than good. Of all sinners in this regard, in my judgment, President Coolidge took the crown. Here we reminded the American people that they ought not to lynch the Negro. Whenever you try to limit the evil of lynching to the Negro, you thereby block the way of any effective remedial action. The failure of the remedied Dyer and his assistant due as much to insistence on the increased racial feature as to any cause. I am glad that Mr. Hoover instructed his secretary to leave out the element of race in condemnation of the unjustified abolition of all unfortunate form of lawlessness which wreaks its vengeance on American citizens. What boots it that some black and others of color do to what a enormity of the iniquity? One-Third of Victims Are White. During the past fifty years the fousand American citizens had been lynched by the been white. The American people would have the stain on their consciences if no signe Negro had ever been the victim. The bulk of the crimes were the cause, as the Doomly used to say, "the easily lynched." The American people are glad enough to explain away this great national disgrace by giving out the impression that only Negroes are thus condignly punished. Foreign nations are fed on this feeling. Recently the governor of a great state disbanded an emissary to explain to a dissenting member the dismissal of a horrible burning, on the score that, it was only a Negro. Rane Imputed as Justification. In consonance with this idea, the crime of rape is sought to be imputed the justifying ground for the dire punishment. The apologists strive to convince themselves and the world that rape is a peculiar form of rage limited to the Negro, and that the punishment but aptly fits the crime. They are no whit abashed by statistical refutation. Negro Delegates Forced Anti-Lynching Plank. I see that the great Republican party promised in its platform to pass an anti-lynching bill, but leaves performance blank. The Negro delegates at Kansas City undoubtedly urged them to this resolution. It was but a meaningless feature to satisfy the gumble then the American people awaken the stigma of lynching of fellow citizens and the evil reputation which this iniquitous practice branding upon the moral forehead of the nation for foreigners to look at the matter will be taken in tandem and firmly in hand. In the lance I hope that President Obama will not consider his cover has discharged his responsibility to the premises by authorizing this secretary to indulge in plough caroling in his behalf.

New York-Chicago Pastor May Head National Baptist Convention The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly N.A.A.C.P. Gives 8 More Names of Lynchers in Indiana NEW YORK. — The N.A.A.C.P. both through its national office, and through its Indiana branches is pushing the cases against the lynchers of two boys in Marion, Indiana, on August 7. The association has forwarded to James M. Ogden, Indiana attorney general, eight additional names of white persons reported by eyewitnesses as having been seen participating in the activities of the lynching mob, bringing the total number of such names submitted to twenty-seven. Mr. Ogden has informed the N.A.A.C.P. that he is having two representatives to attend the sessions of the grand jury inquiring into the lynching. In the N.A.A.C.P. letter to Attorney General Ogden, Walter White, acting secretary, who made an investigation of the circumstances surrounding the lynching, wrote in part: "Reports just received from Marion indicate that the situation is still quite tense at Marion. We are informed that many of the lynchers are very apprehensive and that it would take only a small amount of grilling to make them confess. Feeling among both white and colored citizens of repute of Marion is still one of great doubt as to whether anything will be done by the local authorities and the conviction is even more strongly expressed that real results will come only through your office." and lay plans for future activity.

From the last city THE TOWNSENDS WILL NOT STAND TRIAL IN INDIANA Tenn. Governor Would Not Grant Extradition in Pierson Case. Powerful Influences Have Backed them. NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A prediction made by the AFRO several weeks ago that Governor Horton of Tennessee, would refuse extradition to the State of Indiana of Dr. A. M. Townsend and his son, charged with conspiracy in connection with the killing of E. D. Pierson, was verified by announcement to this effect following a hearing Thursday. Powerful influences, it is said, had been working for some time to halt the effort of state authorities of Indiana to bring Dr. Townsend and his son to trial there. While some of the fractional opponents of these two defendants are making capital out of the refusal of Dr. Townsend to clear his name by facing his accusers in court, his friends are jubilant and declare that he should never have accused of the killing. Not in Indiana In announcing his decision, Governor Horton declared that he had refused to grant the extradition of the Townsends on the concession of his attorneys that it had not been proved that Dr. Townsend or his son was in the state of Indiana at the time the murder was committed. The charges against Dr. Townsend grew out of evidence said to have been gathered by detectives that he had conspired with Dr. B. J. F. Westbrook, an Indianapolis pastor, and George Washington, alleged Indianapolis gunman, to carry Pearson, National Baptist Convention auditor, for a ride, as the latter was on the way to Chicago with damaging evidence as to financial irregularities at the offices of National Baptist Publishing Board. The juggling of a $50,000 loan was one of the specific transactions Pearson's auditing of the books is said to have revealed. He was found mortally wounded April 16, and detectives declare that he had left Nashville with Washington. Not at Convention Dr. Townsend, although secretary of the most important board of the National Baptist Convention, failed to attend the recent session in Chicago. In a prepared statement at the time, Dr. Townsend declared that he was not opposed to Dr. L. K. Williams, but that he was able to some of the methods of the administration. Just when he happened behind closed doors of conferences is not known that there was no active opinion to the re-election of Dr. Townsend to his present post. It was thought, however, that Dr. Townsend's refusal to attend the convention grew out of fear that he might be arrested by Indiana authorities. The failure to extradite Dr. Townsend will perhaps have an important bearing on the trial of George Washington, alleged Indianapolis gunman, charged with committing the murder, and Dr. B. P. J. Westbrook, who is under indictment on a charge of conspiracy to commit a crime to kill, murder. Washington is in jail at Scotch Plains awaiting trial, Dr. Westbrook, prominent Indianapolis minister, is out under bond.

INTERNE BURNS TO DEATH AT X-RAY MACHINE Current Sizzles as St. Louis Hospital Doctor Touches Wrong Wire. DEATH IS QUICK Officials Say Dead Man was Playing. ST. LOUIS, Mo. — "Monkeying around" with an x-ray machine with which he was unfamiliar, caused the death of Dr. B. A. Yancey, age, 25, an interne at City Hospital No. 2, Friday afternoon of last week. The coroner's verdict was accidental death by electrocution. Dr. Yancey, who had been detailed to the X-ray room, was about to make an X-ray picture of Dr. Othello Ennis, another interne, when his left hand made contact with a high tension wire overhead. Dr. Ennis, who was removing his clothing, said that he heard a sizzling sound and a quick cry from Yancey who stood with his left hand raised, touching the overhead wire carrying* 6,000 volts and his right hand don the coaxial cord. Yancey slumped to the floor dead, and efforts made to revive him failed. On his left hand was a split where the current entered his body and on his right hand a tiny hole where the current made its exit. Dr. Fred Slaughter, superintendent of Hospital No. 2, and Dr. W. W. part-time radiologist, testified that the X-ray machine was good condition a few hours before the fatal mishap. Dr. H. H. Weather, resident physician, testified that he requested Dr. Yancey to make a photograph of the chest of Dr. Ennis who complained of illness. Dr. Yancey had been detailed to the X-ray work for some time. Dr. Weatherls said that the apparatus was frequently out of order and gave other hospital attaches had received slight shocks. Twice in the past month internes are said to have been shocked, and it required thirty minutes to revive one of them. Dr. Leroy Sante, head of the X-ray work at City Hospital No. 1, said that Hospital No. 2 X-ray machine was ten years old and lacked a number of facilities which would make it safe for inexperienced operators. Superintendent Lohr, head of the hospitals of the city, described that Dr. Vincey had no authority to make the hospital treatment and his own inexperience caused his death.

DEAR PANSY: The air was full of hellos and howdy-dos last week, as Baltimoreans, who have been Gypsying over the country and into the most unique corner of the familiar cities of the Continent, journeyed back home, and stopped to share their cosmopolitan viewpoints with those who had helped to hold the old immigrant City down during the vacation period. Miss Mabel Whiting, secretary of the Drud Hill Branch of the Y.W.A., a noble wife of the late she, Mrs. Harry Pratt and Mrs. Pratt's daughter, Clare, have just returned from to. To begin with, they went directly from here to New York, where they met the family. Fam there they sailed on the U.S.S. California to Balaoa, Panama, through the canal and up to California, and down to Tia Juana, Mexiko, where they met the Festa at Santa Barbara, and saw the movie 'Hell's Angels' being made in Los Angeles. Coming back they stopped at San Jose, Salt Lake City, Colorado Springs, Denver, Omaha, Youngstown and Pittsburgh. And the A. C. Reids are just back, also from seeing America first. The "Go West, young man" call was "naughty" by many. He needed by Mrs. Reid, "they had most delightful trip, according to that charming lady. Taking a southern route out to St. Louis, Kansas City, Denver and Colorado Springs, visited the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Two weeks were spent in Los Angeles, before they resumed their tour including San Francisco and Oakland, and then visiting British Columbia and Yellowstone Park. Mrs. Reid was ever so enthusiastic about the beautiful stone archway, whose corner stone, you could see, was Roosevelt, and bears the inscription, "For the benefit and enjoyment of the people." "And really" said Mrs. Reid, "the inscription must appropriate, for there could be nothing but enjoyment of the beauties of the famous park." They entered the Gardiner entrance and came out to entrance A. stole a Seattle, Wash., and Chicago, Ill., completed the trip. Mrs. Grace McCard and Mrs. Estelle Arnold have also returned from a most wonderful trip out west. The first stop was manhattan. Mrs. McCard and a city where she lived for some time, Minneapolis was the next stop and then St. Paul, where the popular city were most extensively entertained. The itinerary included the Canadian Rockies, a visit to Lake Louise and Vancouver, British Columbia, a visit to Montreal, then they traveled to Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and on to Oakland, California in time to attend the opening of the museum of Dr. McCard, and Miss Martin Robinson, a teacher of Oakland. Mrs. McCard told me of so many wonderful places they visited, including Los Angeles, where they visited making, and the beautiful camp in the Sierra Nevadas, and Lake Tahoe and Sacramento, and Tia Juana, Mexico, that I just can't really recall all of them. But I may add to the list, the Grand Canyon, Colorado Desert, Denver, Kassas City and St. Louis. And of the entertaining and all that goes with such a trip, well, just use your imagination, Dear. Oh, to be able to just grab a passport and a boat and bid one's friend adieu, and go globe trooping to the other side of the pond. And because they could do just that little thing, Mrs. Kate Brown and her daughter, Edna, are just returning from a cider festival in Colorado and Constance Murphy just got in from the same territory in time to join the teaching force, last week.

He is in Edinburgh, Scotland, finishing a most specialized course in medicine. Do you that he has now returned to America, Paris is full of brilliant young Negroes.

So in due time he soon passed out of the residence of Carlisle House and moved to the village where the evidence of going into decline, He was forced to resort to giving riding and fencing lessons at the academy where at first "I was not objected to his sooty color, but he was much liked by all the patrons of the establishment. The older Angelo in his reminiscences was known of him. Mr. Holwell, the governor by the same name who had served in India, boarded at his father's home in Carlisle Street and was the only person on earth who was down at a table with Soubiue. Becomes General Favorite His mother soon persuaded him to the contrary. His complexion was sooty black and at times was objectionable, yet his enthusiasm, his drollery were such that by his pleasing and agreeable manner he became the general favorite. One of his songs was a Vauxhall song, "As You Wish My Bloom Comes A-pace, the Girls Begin to Tease Me." As an orator his favorite exhibition was Romeo in the garden scene. The line, O that that was a wainly smile, O that that I touch that cheek" accompanied by the black face, the contrast of his teeth and the white of his eyes, always brought a general laugh. It is also said he was vain and boasted Sobbie was an excellent violinist and a good comic singer with dry humor. He helped Angelo at first as usher, thence as fencing assistant at Eton College. His contact there made him a popular club, to attend the opera and to ride in Hyde Park with his white groom. He had the backing of the mobility and was noted for his drollery.

Austin, the caricaturist, with the wit, the duchess and the Souble engaged like D'Eton and Chevalier St. George in a public fencing match. Among the literati he was a great favorite of Caricature andended the Negro Sancho. The elder Sheridan gave him lessons in elocution, and as he excelled in the study of Othello's speeches, he next became a teacher. But ultimately was on the stage in "Othello." Sheridan one day, commenting to Dr. Kennedy or Soubise, the said he was well behaved. Dr. Kennedy thought him rather modest. And Toote made a reloinder that he had never seen him blush. He also rated by some as a poet. He had a preference for sonnets of which he wrote considerable, but no mention has been made of any having been printed. But still remembered for his quaint acting. Called "Black Prince" He was nicknamed the "Black Prince." A caricature sketch on copper of him called "Mungo Macaroni" was exhibited in Darley's shop in Rupert Court, London. Mungo, London. One hundred one hundred. I stepped in St Martin's Lane and searched high and low for his picture, but not a single vestige of those days remains to be had. Soubise's portrait by Zoffani, was brought to the Duchess of Queenberry, was given to Angelo's mother and this passed on to a Mr. Burgess the solicitor of Curzon Street. That is as far as we know of it at present. He also painted Ignatius Sancho, also painted Soubise, but some claim that it was only a sketch. Killed by Horse A gentleman who held a high station in the East, known by the appalation of memory as the patron, obtained numerous pupils for him and an appointment with a large salary to break his neck. His uncle, engaged to subdue a fine Arabian, the terror of every one, he mounted the unconquerable beast. for he was the boldest of men, known on his head and killed on the spot. The present generation of Negro writers seemed to have heard little of Soubiue who was alided by the Duchess of Guensberry and rose to The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, September 13, 1930 REGENT 1930 "BLACKBIRDS" OPEN IN BROOKLYN Show, with Thirteen Scenes, Runs for Four Hours at Majestic. HAS NO CRAP GAME To Play Boston Prior to Broadway Opening. By E. G. PERRY BROOKLYN, N.Y.—The 1930 edition of Lew Leslie's Blackbirds—"Girlinggay, the American Negro"—opened Wednesday evening at the Majestic Theatre here. Before coming to Broadway, they will go to Bostr for a run. The sketches for this show were written by Flornoy Miller, and the music and lyrics by Euble Blake and Andy Razaf. The orchestra is under the direction of Euble Blake; and Cecil Mack's Choir again does the singing. Show Ran Four Hours The first night of the Brooklyn opening, there were thirteen scenes and the show ran for four hours, so there will be a great amount of cutting done before it reaches Broadway. It is said that it will be difficult for them to cut because the music and sketches are all unusually fine. The revue has two innovations for a Negro show:—There is no crap game nor ghost scene. It also opens without an overture, and the orchestra picks up the score after the choir sings. This 1830 edition of Blackbirds has for its star principals, Ethel Waters, Flournoy Miller, the Berry Brothers and Buck and Bubbles. These are followed up by Mantan Moreland, the Mantan Mistress, Blue McAllister, Minto Cato and Neeka Shaw. Diton Applauded in Ohio Concert Baritone Heard in Program at John Hay High School Auditorium OLEVELAND. — Carl Diton, baritone, scored a hit as he appeared in recital here Friday night. The critic of the PLAIN DEALER said: "Mr. Diton's voice is a baritone of agreeable quality, though not impressive he has to do. He sings with good taste, but in shunning, as is commendable, all semblance of over emphasis, he goes to the other extreme, so that his interpretations lack something both of variety and artistry. He has received his sound musicianship in the program he offered. His list included lyrics of Scarlatil Handel, Schumann, Bacch, Debusy and Frank and a group of spirituals, one of them, "Poon" in a musical arrangement by the recitalist himself, Martha Swann played the singer's accompaniment and also gave several piano solos."

If you ever go to Columbus, Ohio, and stay there just half a day, you'll meet Hebrew Sam. That is, if he has anything to say, that's not his name, but it's close enough to it for the purpose. Since he was knee-high to a grasshopper, Sam hasn't lifted anything heavier than he can lift before And from all indications, he never will. He knows everybody and has a memory reaching almost to there. Just a smooth confidence guy, that knows dancing, selling stock, real estate, insurance, running an employment office and many other things have been attempted by him. And out of them all he has always wanted to money an out. Women are his speciality, but he won't marry. "Ain't never goin' to settle down," he told me. And he wouldn't steal a pen outlining. He'd rather have you give it to him unwittingly. Clarence was a promising young doctor, but one of his main promises is to hit on his at feet—broken at last. As a student in medical school, he was excellent. Women never interested him, for as he said he was very nervous. He grilled him rather queer, and his only sin as far as men could see, was smoking. When he was graduated, Clarence made up his mind that he would have young friends from sheltered families had cast admiring glances at him. One of them, he promised himself, would be his wife. But he must have his fing at life. He wrote me the other day that Clarence was married. His bride was not of the elite, but what Clarence himself had often spoken of disaffection as a "kitchen mechanic." He had had his fing at life—but too late.

BOSTON CELEBRATES PROGRESS OF NEGRO Tableaux and Music Featured in Program on Boston Common, Friday. LEADERS ARE CITED BOSTON—Varied contributions of the Negro to America, made during its history since colonial days, were outlined in dramatic tableaux and music at the Tercentery Tribune on Boston Common, Friday evening. The presentation was made under the direction of Mrs. Dorothy Richardson, New England's leading soloist. A welcome address was delivered by Julian D. Rainey, assistant corporation counsel of the City of Boston, who represented Mayor James Curley, who was absent on account of a previous engagement. Mr. Rainey, during his brief address, said "that he deemed an anachronistic moment to welcome a people who had played such an illusorious part in the making of the history of the city and state. It was here that Crispus Attucks attacked the city, and it was here where the first underground railway was instituted." Bullock at "Mike" Those participating in the arrangements were Miss Dorothy Wood, Mrs. Sleanor Trout, Mrs. Trachese Bullook, attorney, was radio announcer, receiving great applause for his historical references. In the tableau scenes were Lieutenant James Janifer, mounted on a black charger, depicting the Robert Gould Shaw monument. Abraham Lincoln was portrayed by Cecil Beane, with "the slaves" portrayed by Granville Stewart and Donald Hess. Vets in Limelight The spotlight was played on two Civil War veterans, Edward A. Dittus, age 91, and Jeremiah N. Kelletus, age 64. Among some of the other tableaux presentations were Frederick Douglass by cornellus Orcisson, Hilda Proctor, and Hilda Proctor, Sergeant Carney, color bearer of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, hero of the war, agrees to serve Salem Bunker Hill, by Granville Stewart; Bosley Lew, drummer boy in French-Indian War, also the Revolutionary hero of his great, great great John Lew, Phyllis Wheatley, by Etta Deas. Leaders Cited Matthew Bullock then cited with accompanying scenes, the strides the American Negro had made since the Civil War in education, noting Bessie Baldwin, the first colored school teacher; in medicine; in inventions; in painting, noting Henry O. Tanner, whose exhibits are to be seen in other adding cities; in music, mentioning the celebrated Roland Hayes; in sculpture, poetry and industry. These citations were very enthusiastically applauded in conversations from the works of the English composer, Coleridge Taylor and Rosamond Johnson, and spirituals were rendered by a mixed chorus of seven women, Dorothy Richardson, assisted by the Victorian Orchestra.

He goes at once to the town only to find that his parents have been drowned. He attempts to return North, but is caught by the flood and is forced to remain in a gass camp on the river banks where he labors with a gang helping to rebuild the levee: the gang boss threatens him, and despite the advice of Hotshot, also a flood refugee, Carl first threatens the boss. Up the river another gang is working, and the boss of this gang threatens with a pistol in his hand. He fires at Carl, INSTALLMENT II When the smoke from the huge gun it disclosed a scene deserted by all ex an army coat who moaned and rubbed and another man, the second gang boy and wiping mud from his face. When the smoke from the huge gun had cleared away, it disclosed a scene deserted by all except a prone man in an army coat who moaned and rubbed his neck tenderly; and another man, the second gang boss, who was cursing and wiping mud from his face. Safely hidden in the branches of a tree which had been floating downstream as he leaped into the river, Carl clung with beating heart. He was thankful for his escape, but was puzzled by it. When the gang boss had leveled the big revolver at him his blood had run cold he seemed rooted to the spice by sharp terror. An instant before the explosion came and toppled off into the water but how had the man him? How had he failed to see Carl swim with the floating tree, and if he had seen him, why had he not shot at him again? He was so close to Carl that he could Their voyage down the big river on their tree lasted well into the afternoon. The sun had come out, and its clear warmth was welcome to the two chilled, water-soaked castaways. Along the banks they could see vestiges of towns, and frequently they espied almost submerged nouns upon whose roofs clung marooned trees. Once they swept perilously close to a huge flat-bottomed motor scoop, which carried a number of men in uniform. At the sight of them, both Carl and Hotsof dived into the water, clinging to the thick branches beneath the heavy foliage of the tree, that they might remain unseen. When that danger was passed, they resumed their former positions or the tree trunk. "When do we quit sailing on this rather uncomfortable craft?" Carl asked his friend jokingly. "Hotsof looked at him, puzzled. 'Boy, what you talkin' bout?' I meant when we are we going to get off the road.' Carl explained, suppressing his amusement at the other's lack of comprehension. "Mos' any time," the Texan said, surveying the wooded banks of the stretch they were passing. "Pears to me here would be 'bout as good a place as any. Think you can swim to th' bank?" Carl studied the left-hand bank, at least a quarter mile from their position in midstream. The yellow expanse of water, stirred and whipped by invisible currents, seemed omnine with unseen dangers, but the youth decided he could make it. Together they toppled off into the cold, turbid water, striking ow vigorously for the bank. The current seemed swifer and stronger, and swept them quite a distance downstream before they reached the embankment. Both were almost exhausted, and chilled to the bone, when they climbed out of the water. After they had rested, Hotshot led the way eastward through heavy woods, which were knee-deep in water in many spots. Even here they could see traces of the vast desolation brought on by the flood. Here and there they saw half-submerged chicken coops, fragments of what had once been a house, and even a wooden churn that had somehow escaped demolition. hour they trudged wearily through the moss, paucing infrequently to catch the breath, but as it was already late afternoon they pressed on as swiftly as possible in order to reach some sign of human habitation before night should fall. At last the wood thinned, the ground became heavy with lush, rich-green grass, and the soggy trail they had been following gave way to one much drier and more pleasant. Before them they behold a smoothly undistinguished farmland, with occasional houses giving off of the presence of humants. Carl would have started at once toward the nearest of these dwellings, but his companion restrained him. **They Face Starvation** "Take yo' time," the elder man advised, "Lookin' like we do we got to ```markdown ``` A man is swimming in a river.

He was thankful for his escape, but was puzzled by it. When the bus boss had leveled the big revolver at him, his blood had run cold and he seemed rooted to the spot by sharp terror. An instant spot the explosion he heaped to toppled off into the water, how had the man missed him? How had he failed to see Carl swim wildly to the floating tree, and if he had seen him, why had he not shot at him again? He was so close to Carl that he could not have missed, the puzzled youth told himself. The river was cold, but Carl dared not move for fear he would be: en. In the grip of the strong current his refuge swung about in abrupt circles, while he clung to one of the branches with despera¹. I density. Hours seemed to pass, and the water became colder and wet. Just when he had dressed, that he could hang out of hiding, but had better come out of hiding and try to swim to the shore, he heard a well remembered voice. Hotshot Appears "We sho't airplane-travelin', ain't we boy?" the voice said. Carl was so startled that he almost lost his grasp on the branch. "Hotshot!" he exclaimed in amazement. "Where are you? And how the devil did you get here?" "I'm on 'tother side o' this very big oak tree," the voice came back. "An' I got here jus' like you did. I jumped in that ole river and catched this same ole pecan what we're ridin' on." The knowledge that his friend had also escaped and was close by, gave: youth renewed strength. When he spoke again his voice was gay. "You son-of-a-gun!" he cried happily. "Why in the world didn't you let me know that you were riding th' boat before now?" "Wasn't no .iine for making no talk," Hotshot explained. "I figgered sense we bof was here the talk could wait." "Hadn't we better be hitting for the shore?" Carl aggested. "I'm childish over the bone, and I'm afraid c hang on under these branches much longer." "Come out I'm under em, then," Hotshot advised, "an' we'll ride the top jus' like passengers on a sure-nuff boat." "But suppose somebody sees us?" "Supposin' they does?" the c'er man asked. "We are 'buct ten mille down the river by now, and they ain't no telumgraf wires up, an' you know can't nobody make no time through all that water on the banks." If a minute they, were seated astraild the big tree. Hotshot had lost both shoes, and Carl's shirt was in tatters. They regarded each other with rufine laughter. Hotshct Explains "Boy, you sho' looks like something the tom cat done drug in!" the little man chortled. "Well, you don't look like a fashion plate yourself, Hotshot," Carl laughed. Then he sobered. "Say, where were you wher: that man shot at me?" "I was right there," Hotshot declared. "I thought sure I was a goner, he was so close to me. I can't figure how he missed me at all. Or why he didn't shoot at me when I was swimming for this tree." Hotshot cackled boisterously. He shapped his hand emphatically against the hat and roared. "Boy, you shouldn't a missed that, was pure funny." Again the litter-man's laughter rolled on richly over the wide river. "But what happened?" Carl persisted. "What happened?" With an effort Hotshot restrained his mirth. "Why, when that baby ticks at vore head THE AFRO-AMERICAN SYNOPSIS They Face Starvation *Find our own kind of folks. Anybody else might mistake us for scarecrows, or sunpin', an' take a potshot at us." "I'm cold and 'm hungry, and—and I'm just naturally about ready to take even that chance," Carl expostulated. "Surely nobody would refuse to give us something to eat, at least." "Hol 'yo' hosses," Hotshot insisted. "Won't be long 'fore we'll fin' what you want." By this time, after their journey down the river and through the woods, the few clothes remaining to them were sadly torn and tattered. Both of them had suffered numerous scratches and bruises, but above all they were hungry—keenly hungry. The dim path they trod led into a small copsie of willow trees. As they trudged through the growth the sound of a rich voice lifted in song halted them in their tracks. "Ef you see me stealin' Don' you tell me on . . . Ef you see me stealin' Don' you tell me on . . . 'Cause you'll know I'm stealin' Back to my used-to-be. . . . Hotshot started forward abruptly. 'Ain't nobody in th' worl sing like 'at but us!n' he exclaimed. Almost at once they emerged from the woods, and the truth of the little man's assertion was borne out. A small moss-grown cabin sat in the clearing, and from its stone chimney blue smoke curled in a lazy spiral. Without parley the two men went up to the place. Hotshot rapped at the side of the open door, then called. "Its envy home?" A Friend in Need A young girl poked her head out, and upon seeing the strangers, jerked it back. "Maw! Maw!" they could hear her crying. "They's some men out heah. You bettah some!" The woman who came to the door was plump, brown, and motherly. "Bress mah soul!" she ejaculated. "What's done happen to you po' chillens! Come right in. You're cookin' suppah, and you're in time." In the room, the two entered the humble dwelling. Odors of boiling coffee, frying meat, and baking cornbread made them almost sick with eager delight. They smiled appreciatively, while they eagerly eyed the steaming viands. "We she' air pow' hungry." Hotshot told the woman, who was eyeing them with an air of sympathetic curiosity. "What you come jum!" she asked. "We she' air pow'杰otshot told her." We were in one' o' them' cool-camps, and we had to high-tail it this mawn'in." He raised his eyebrows significantly. "Flesh my mouf!" the woman exclaimed. The girl, half-grown, and bashfully conscious of her bare foot, said, "I visited the visitors wita, quick side-glances, Outside they could hear her singing again. "Your daughter has a lovely voice," Carl complimented. "You from de Noith, son?" the woman asked, instead of replying to what he said. "Why-yes, I am," Carl affirmed. "You talks like educated folks," the woman laughed. "How you evah get far so down厅厅," his story to her, and the sympathetic matron wiped at her eyes when he had finished. "Now, what you gwine do?" she asked him. "You sho' don' blong down heah noways." "We's gin' get us a job. Is they anybody 'roun' here what needs some hands?" Hotshot interposed. "Not 'roun' here," the woman mused, as she set the fragrant food before them, but my mind, what I was cooking this night for, ought any time now. He drives a big truck to Kunnel Bar, arre, he's on his way back to de plantation now. Maybe he keim tell you." Carl and Hotshot fell to eating with the voracious appetites of ravenous wolves. Their hostess watched them with a pleased smile. She liked to see people eat, especially when they looked half starved, like these men. As he ate, Carl was reflecting upon the unquestioning sort of hospitality which the woman had extended them. Had they come to someone's door seeking food up Now, the chances were that nothing but rough words would have been given them. Down here they were invited in with unquestionable whole-heartedness, and given there was to eat without a moment's hesitation. "To, Maw," a voice said from the door. "A tall, husky youth, clad in blue denim, stood smiling in the door, his eyes on the strangers. 'See you got company,' he added. His mother explained. "And now, Gene," she concluded, as she set still more food on the table for the late arrival, 'they's lookin' for wok! I tole 'em 'at maybe de Kunnelought need some mo' har's." The youth took his place at the table. "Sho, 'de钥 neednails needh, what kin grab cotton," he confirmed. "Kin you boys pick de white stuff?" Hotshot grinned pridefully. "Whut you talkin' bout, son," he said expressively. "Why, I kin pick my to hunded with anybody. Cose," he interposed apologetically, "my pahdnah here caint pick so good, but I makes up ter him." "I used to be able to pick pretty when I was a d n Mississippi," Carl put in a little defensively. "Maybe I won't do so bad." "Well, after we eat i got to be snaggin' on to de plantation," Gene said, "an' you all kin ride elong with me. Hits about sixty miles soufle, and de road it ain't no plaything, so often you'scairt de de swamp in de cordroy roads, you better not come." "We ain't scared o' no swamps, ner no log roads either," Hotskot asserted He regarded his friend questioning "We go, Carl?" "Why not?" Carl answered. "We've got to make some money, and money doesn't grow on trees." "I asked the approvelling I laks to see men's what ain't approvided to wuk" she said. A Trip Through the Swamps A Trip through the Swamps Accordingly, when the meal was finished, Gene led them out to the road some distance from the house, and after good-byes to his family, in the morning the light truck he was driving. His air became more important as he took the wheel of the machine, and when he started the motor he had the air of one who drives a Rolls-Royce down a snooth beacule, while in reality his two guests had difficulty in even remaining in the seat, so bumpy was the road. In the gathering twilight their new-found friend drove the cumbersome machine confidently over the rough corduroy road, which led between heavily growd rows of giant dark trees castin' their shadows ominously across the path. The heavy stagnant odor of the swamp became increasingly strong; and the widening grey everywhere around the civilization were always being left behind them. When darkness fell, Gene got out and lighted the old-fashioned lamps on the machine. As he climbed in he turned to his companions. "'All ain't 'fraid none, is you?' he asked. From: almost above their heads an owl! screeched eerily, and from somewhere in the swamp came the insane laughter of a cat-bird. "Naw," Hotshot without conviction. "We ain't 'fraid—but we're a jess 'let bit nervous!" END OF INSTALLMENT II When Skyscraper Like Tunnel This is Professor Schuler's conception buildings of the future to prevent uprooting. The giant braces would be used for in-road When Skyscrapers Vibrate Like Tuning Forks ```markdown ``` This is Professor Schuler's conception of a method of bracing the tallest buildings of the future to prevent undue sway in times of heavy winds. The giant braces would be used for inter-communication, for fast trains and roadways. By ANTHONY WAYNE Correspondent and Special Writer A tall building is set to swing by a sudden gust of wind. The average pressure of the wind in the building makes it fall over, but it can be so-called "holes" in the wind that push and pull the building suddenly and cause it to vibrate. After a hard blow the vibrations may continue for five or ten seconds before another gust and the building going down increases the swing, or it may hit it back and stop the vibrations dead. When a gust of wind strikes the building on the forward beat it may almost double the length of the next stroke, and it is probably at such moments, accompanied by the sudden shriek of the blast, by the sudden shriek of the occupants feel the motion. Whether anyone has ever been able actually to feel the sway of a skyscraper is a speculative question and one hard to settle in a positive manner Checking on the Amount of Sway As to the amount of motion that occurs, it is hard to say accurately according to the construction engineers. However, readings have been taken in most of the tall buildings in New York during the winter, the indications that they sway as much as an inch at least, making two inches from vertical counting the swing back and forth. The frequency of the motions depends on many separate considerations. A slender tower will move more slowly than a stout one, a high tower moves more slowly than one, a heavily braced tower is faster than one of the tallest size and shape well covered. A tower which has heavy floors or walls at the top is slower than one of light construction; one with heavy walls in the lower stories, especially of stone masonry, than a tower of light brick or term-cotta construction, the fact that the stiffer it is for its size and weight, the faster it vibrates. The rates vary from fifteen complete vibrations per minute for the very tall, slender towers and for the medium-sized towers and of medium construction, to the shorter, minute, the required vibration is of considerable interest because of its relation to the sort of happenings A Summer School True Love Story I Would Still be Monotonously Married in a Little Southern Town if . Read this Frank Confession of an Uuhappy Woman LIFE is queer! One goes along in an ordinary sort of way and then all of a sudden something very unusual happens that may alter one's whole existence. Life is, after all, just a series of incidents like a row of wooden soldiers; one only slightly agitated moves all of the rest. What you do today or tomorrow may decide when, where and with whom you will end your days. To fight against it is almost futile, since this merely starts another chain of incidents that may have a worse result. Take me, for example. Five years ago I was successful in being appointed teacher of English in the colored high school in our little North Carolina town. I had been planning to go to Chicago and take up social work but the appointment kept me at home. Elverson is a staid, religious, highly moral, uninteresting and boresome place where the only recreations are church socials, bridge games and the radio. I had to detest it but because my widow mother needed me and my nephew I was making, to keep up the old home. and the esteem of the community, but he was stodgy, fifteen years my elder, rough and uneducated. If it had not been for my mother's sickly condition and the pitiful small amount of money we had in the bank I would never have married Blaine. To make a long story short, my school appointment at home kept me there, made me lonesome and easy prey for Jim Blaine. If I had gone to Chicago it would have been different. Anyway, he proved to be a coarse, ill-mannered brute, ex- Things happened pretty rapidly after that appointment. As one of the attractive and best-dressed colored girls in town, I became the cause of a bitter rivalry between two lords; ours were largely an ordinary crew and I couldn't be bothered with them. It's an awful thing to be tied down for life with a dull man! Unfortunately that's how I ended eventually and the advice of Jim Blaine was the most eligible of the flock of sultons. He had money, a thriving general store, a large number of rent houses papers Vibrate ing Forks n of a method of bracing the tallest due swaying in times of heavy winds. ter-communication, for fast trains and dways. which cause gossip. It is a well recognized fact that if any object has a harmonic motion of its own, like a pendulum, and if it is given a series of slight pushes, timgs to its own frequency, it will get to swing violently. Hence the trouble. Now all the wild tales of skyscrapers movements seem dead but with a sensual behavior of objects. In so far as they have any truth in them it is probably connected with this characteristic of swinging bodies to respond to anything that tunes in on their own wave length. Rocking Chairs and Bathtubs Rocking chairs have a definite period, according to the person in them, and bathhouses have a period about the same as that of our tall buildings. Waves run slowly in shallow water and faster in deep water. A wave will run twice the length of the tub perhaps sixteen times a minute when the water is an inch deep and thirty times if the depth is six inches. Somewhere between it is probably safe to say that the exact period of a building can be experiment that in one of America's tall buildings a bathhut with four inches of water in it would run a wave deeper or shallower according to the wind, but it was checked at three inches high. With the water deeper or shallower there was no appreciable disturbance. The actual time of the building at the time was about one-eighth of an inch. The fact that a hanging lamp swings six inches does mean that the building is doing six inches. A motion of an eighth of an inch is enough to account for it, if properly Prof. Ferdinand Schuler: suggests that in the tall buildings of the future when far greater heights are obtained, it will be found advisable to brace the towers with long girths which in turn will increase the crosses, trains or tracks for cars that travel at great speed being placed within the giant braces. In this way the tallest of the structures will be braced with all the other skyscrapers and there will be no visible movement that will allow a seasick feeling when watching the skyscrapers sway or the lighting fixtures swing. and the esteem of the community, but he was stodgy, fifteen years my elder, rough and uneducated. If it had not been for my mother's sickly condition and the plitiful small amount of money we had in the bank, I would never have married Blaine. To make a long story short, my school appointment at home kept me there, made me lonesome and easy prey for Jim Blaine. If I had gone to Chicago it would have been different. Anyway, he proved to be a coarse, ill-mannered brute, extremely jealous and yet incapable of arousing love in my breast. Instead, I came gradually and reluctantly to loath him. I hated to have him put his hands on me, and yet I had to submit to his unwelcome caresses. I couldn't think. There was little Jim to think of, and besides Evan Smith, I had no knowledge. So I stuck it out, teaching at school, preparing meals, going to church, being a dutiful wife and . . . and detesting my husband. Well, the situation remained the same, until this past summer. The principal of my school had hinted that it would be a good idea for me to go to summer school as I was the only one on the faculty that had not attended. He did not know that I would have gone every day, had it not been of my husband's jealousy and suspicion. He would not give his consent until the principal urged him to do so. I selected Columbia University. I had always wanted to see New York City and enjoy some of the pleasures of Harlem. It was a tug of war to get away but I finally made it. What a thrill to get on a train going away from Elverson, my husband and the hypocritical gossips and bores of my home town! Three months' vacation in the great metropolis of the New World! How thrilled I was at the prospect! All night! stay awake at thinking! I was in Pittsburgh passed, then Washington, a change of trains and finally the huge Pennsylvania Station at 3rd Street, New York. As I said, life is queer. When I arrived at the colored Y.W.C.A. on 137th Street, I found there no room vacant—I had forgotten to make reservation. As luck would have it, however, I met in the lobby of the dormitory, Sybil Thornton, a girl with whom I had gone to school in New York. I was a school teacher in New York. I explained I take her two-room apartment in my predicament. She suggested that the exclusive Park-Lincoln Apartments since she was going to California on vacation. It was agreed and soon I was located. I knew practically no one in New York and at first it was pretty lonely. Then one Friday night a reception was given for summer school students at the 135th Street Branch Library where several writers and poets were invited to address the community, mostly eagerly, and there I met the first man who ever really attracted me: Ramon de Rendo. He was so different from any man I had ever met that the comparison was startling. Tail, erect, slender, athletic, very dark with well-moulded features, long, slender, delicate hands; long, curving eye flashes, gracefully curved eyebrows and flashes with a youthful beauty, the very perfection of Negro manhood. We danced all evening together after introducing ourselves in that charmingly informal manner of New Yorkers. We ate ice cream and drank lemonade while we told about ourselves. He was the only son of a wealthy Brazilian exporter in Rio de Janeiro finishing his senior year at Fordham University. He spoke of himself modestly and proud of the unanticipated comforts of my beauty and in delightful English just slightly mellowed by his native Latin tongue. It was a matter of love at first sight with me. Ramon was the first man I had ever met whom I deemed my equal. I could not help but compare him with the man I married, Jim Blaine, and smile wryly at the fates Fake plays on us. Where Jim was indifferent and inattentive, Ramon danced attendance upon me and catered to my every wish, and yet he was always the gentleman, Ramon in the language of the store and livery stable. Ramon addressed me as a courter speaking to a noble lady. That first night as we came away from the library, he breathed an "I love you!" in my ear. How it thrilled me! How it aroused dreams of a fairy castle a verdure-clad knoll under the deep blue skies of the tropics! I felt at last that I had met my affinity. I was in a Seventh Heaven of delight. I let Ramon kiss me at my apartment door. I knew it was wrong; knew it was a violation of my marriage vows; knew I was deceiving my husband; knew that all Elverson would condemn my conduct if it knew, but it didn't know and could not know, and even if it did I could not know. I had suppressed my worthful longings and supported for true romance down to a brute fifteen years my senior, that I could do so no longer. They had to have some outlet, and . . . well, I promised myself to be discreet. Alas, it was so difficult to be discreet with Ramon I. All of the volcanoes would seem to be in his blood. He fairly dripped passion, the strong, vibrant passion of the lands of perpetual sun.

Of course I took precautions and tried to hold him at a distance but he only laughed that big, flashing, throaty, infectious laugh that sweeps everything before it like a Kansas whirlwind. "Dorothy!" he breathed, one evening as we were rowing on the mere in Central Park under a full moon, "are you going to kill me?" "Why, what do you mean, Ramon?" I gasped in surprise, looking up into his dark eyes. "Well," he explained, "I love you more than anything else in the world. We were made for each other, Dorothy, and you know it. Without you I cannot live, will not live. You hear, I will not live. It would not be worth while. You know this; you can see it in my eyes, my manner, my every gesture. And yet, -spite the fact that you love me, too, you are going back to your husbah when summer school is over; going back to boredom, taintedness, toughness, hyporhea and stressed, to say of everlasting, unfounded suspicion. "You hate to go and yet you are going because you feel it is your duty to do so. I understand duty, Dorothy, but I also understand love. We are made for each other and we love a love of knowledge; we are both young and full of the joy and bounce of living; I have wealth and position in my home country where there is no race prejudice such as you have here. You know I want you to go with me and you really want me to go with you. You are going to ruin my life "or the sake of duty. You are going to kill met" "Oh, Ramon! I cried in anguish, "don't say that, please. I admit I care for you but you'll admit it would be monstrous to desert my husband, my mother and my little boy. I cannot do that. I must do my duty even though I hate the ground Jim Blaine walks on." "You are a fool!" he shouted w. a wild-eyed Latin hevemeth. Then he burst Latines and hung his head in resignation. My heart was touched. Here was a man practically "made-to-order" for me, a man who loved me deeply and had it within his power to lift me from hell to heaven, and yet I was being forced to make the choice opposite to my desires. The tragedy of the situation appalled me. We continued in silence. Finally we docked our boat, Ramon h:lped me into his handsome car and we sped up Seventh Avenue for a late supper. "Domeniok's. I and I toyed with it after the first two or three mouthfuls. Ramon too was occupied, looking beyond me vacantly at the wall of the booth. Suddenly with new resolution, he spoke: "Dorothy, you must not go back. You hear? I cannot see you, a woman, a girl of your refinement and culture go back to that town. Send for your mother and your son, we'll take them with us!" He smiled hopefully, "I couldn't do that." I replied, "Mama would not think of such a thing. Besides, I cannot save Jim Blaine without a divorce. Ramon. We could never marry, my dear." "Well, then, we won't marry!" he replied fiercely, his eyes like smouldering fires. "What are man-made laws compared to the laws of love? What do we care about society when we have each other?" "Oh, stop, Ramon!" I murmured a little shocked and scared, too. "We couldn't live like that. It is out of the question. No, dear boy, we'll spend our hour out here and forget about* it. We are caught in the trap of social convention. We can't win." "But we can win, Dorothy," Ramon insisted, thrusting his silky smooth face close to mine and grasping my wrist in his slender fingers. "I must have you. I cannot live without you. I will kill this brute of a husband of yours." "Yes," I laughed calmly, "and go to the electric chair." "Better the electric chair than life without you, Dorothy," he replied with quiet intensity. I could not sleep when I went to bed that night. The situation into which I had gotten myself worried me tremendously. The result would apparently be immediate tragedy or life-long suffering. I felt I could trust myself no longer in New York with Ramon de Bendo. The temptation to do something criminally wrong was too great. Rolling and tossing on my bed through the hot night, anguish gripped me and shook every tear from my body. As the sun rose over Long Island sound and flooded my boulder, I decided to pack my things, quiff, summer school and go back to Elverson at once. I was the only way, I thought, out of my dilemma. As I went about getting my things together, I felt perfectly wretched. My husband had not written me a line during the six weeks I had written to me, and my wife wrote twice. Worried about the baby, Ramon and the future, I was nearly crazy. Next morning early I arrived home. I had forgotten to telegraph and there was no one at the little station to meet me, but Sam Thorpe, the chauffeur, helped me with my luggage and took me home in his taxicab. Nothing had changed in the brief time I had been gone. There were the same landmarks, the same trees and shrubbery, the same streets. I had gone through. My heart sank hopelessly as I thought of Ramon five hundred miles away in the Big City. I unlocked the front door and Sam brought in my suitcases. "Come right up stairs with them, Sam," I directed, "and put them in my room." I followed him upstairs and he stepped aside while I opened the door. We both jumped back in surprise at the sight that met our astonished gaze. There before the mirror arranging her hair stood Flora Bandson. the most nortorious flapper in Elverson! "What are you doing here?" I shouted, advancing into the room. "I—I—I'm cooking for Mr. Blaine," she led, frightened. "He hired me, Mrs. Blaine, nuns he did." I missed hurt, disillusioned, disgusted by the sordidness of it all. It was like Jim Blaine to take advantage of my absence in this way. Just then my husband ran upstairs in his shirt sleeves and stopped as if shot at the sight of me. For once he forgot to curse, losing all control of his soul tongue. For him, that his soul tongue, he fourth voice and insisted that Flora was only there as his cook while I was away; but he couldn't satisfactorily explain why he had let her occupy my room instead of the top floor servant's room. I saw Attorney Smith an hour later and he assured me that with Sam Thorpe as witness, getting a divorce would be easy. It was. Thanksgiving Day, free at last, Ramon and I went to the Municipal Building in New York and were pronounced man and wife. We were both supremely happy. That was a year ago and were still happy, and little Jim are here with me in Rio. In the evenings as I look over the beautiful bay. I think of life, the queer things it does, and the beautiful love that summer school brought me. A. E.

CHAMP SURPRISED Return Match Likely to be Staged Shortly. CLEVELAND, Ohio.—Making the first defense of his title since he won it four months ago, Young Jack Thompson, of Oakland, Calif., saw the right hand of Tompm Freeman, white, local weltweight, raised at the end of a 15-round battle here Friday night. An assemblage of 19,000 fans saw the battle at League Park and there were none more resisted at the verdict than the right principals, themselves, as Reeve Patsy Haley of New York announced the outcome at the close of the battle. Freeman Given Fight Freeman's victory closed a nine-year drive for the crown and it was his aggressiveness that caused the referee to award him eight rounds. While Thompson landed harder punches than his Nordic foe, Haley declared on the fact that "Freeman landed the cleaner punches and scored more frequently." That fact, without saying, was aggressive, because without saying, but fear that many at the ringside who felt that the worst that Thompson should have received would have been a draw. Freeman Floored The only knockdown of the fight came in the second round when Thompson floored Freeman for the count of six. Two left hooks to the jaw did the trick, the second one sending Freeman sprawling to the floor. Freeman immediately got up on one knee and stayed there until the count of six. When he got up he grabbed Thompson around the waist and hung on while the champion tried to shake him off. Thought He Won Thompson was naturally upset by the verdict. "I thought I won," he said. "I think I can beat him again. I had a hard time with my hands after the third round. I could hardly close them because they were badly bruised. Ray Alvis, Thompson's manager, denied he had entered into my opponent agreement for a return match in the event Thompson won, but that he had the word of McGinty for it. "The fight was close. I have no complaint to make about the decision. All I am hoping is that Freeman and Thompson get together again." Thompson again had Freeman in denial of the tenth when he landed a hard right to the jaw just before the bell, that made the boy's white knee buckle. The dark-skinned fighter exerted himself strenuously for the first time, it was possible that because he slowed up a little in the closing rounds that the referee cast his vote against Thompson.

The opening game, scheduled with the soldiers of the 24th U.S. Infantry, at Doughboy Stadium, Fort Benning, Georgia, on September 20, has tended to give more zest to the initial tilt than any move ever made by the athletic officials. Coach Abbott was assisted in the workout by his entire staff composed of Ross Owens, former South Dakota State College star; John H. Brown, crack linesman from Virginia University, and R. A. Mundy, former U.S.A. center of Hampton Institute. Steve is Back Veteran backfield men who reported were: Benjamin F. Stevenson, Joseph S. Shanklin, John E. Joyner, Clifton Wylie, James H. McCarthy, LaVerne Smith and Henry Harrison. Stevenson, Shanklin and Joyner will be playing their last year for Tuskegee as they will receive their degrees next May. The team present were: Henry Champion, Charles P. Adams, Willis I. Hockett, Isaac Robinson and Olie Bleicher.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, September 13, 1930 THE coming series between the Baltimore Black Sox and the Homestead Grays will be watched with unusual interest by the fans of the Eastern region, particularly those in the Monumental City, and you don't have to dig very far below the surface in order to find the reason. The local club, having made a number of changes in its lineup during the summer has made what is considered its last move of the season in bringing Webster McDonald, submarine ball artist; "Sad" Sam Streeter, the molst-ball southpaw, and Bill McNell, outfielder, formerly of the Louisville club. the hurling staff of the Sox now includes Yokely, Lee, Curry, Fleurny, McDonald and Streeter and there are three backstoppers, Clarke, Cason and Egleton to receive the slants of these tossers. The acquisition of McNeil in the outfield rounds out the outer garden patrol, of which Washington and Smith are the other members. Thomas on first, makes the infield air-tight, so that the present team appears equally as strong, at least defensive, as it did at the beginning of the season when "Rap" Dixon, "Fats" Jenkins, "Mule" Sutties, and "Satchell" Paige were with the locals. Against Hildale and some of the leading white clubs the Sox have proved worthy and fans are anxious to see them stack up against the Grays, conquerors of the Kansas City Monarchs of the National League. How the Sox hurried to the bats of Oscar Charleston, Judy Johnson, Wig Harris, Buck Ewing, et al, and how the Sox between will fare on a diet served by Lefty Williams, Britt, Cass and "Smoky" Joe Williams, should make excellent reading of those who are unable to witness the contests. In possible joust or two with the Lincoln Giants and the annual post-season series should wind up the diamond activities here. The Sox-Grays series starts at Pittsburgh, Friday and will be continued on Sunday. The advice of the M.D. to might well be supplemented by Maryland horseshoe champion iron every day will bring that cheeks. "I really believe that the shoes has been one of the big champion told me.

But they PREFER a in addition, with the white turn match, presumably with after that, ANOTHER match seriously to the three successes. Which to me, is about as g The advice of the M.D. to "get a little iron into your system", might well be supplemented by the advice of James (Marble) Hall, Maryland horseshoe champion, who believes that tossing a little iron every day will bring that color you long desired to your "I really believe that the exercise gained from pitching horse-shoes has been one of the biggest factors in my good health," the champion told me. And if you don't already know it, he is one healthy, specimen and does not look his fifty-five years.

The unfair sex became interested in the game this summer and the competition among the women and girls was of high order, ringers finding their way around the peg with more regularity than even this scribbler anticipated. From all indications the game has been sold on its merits to the local population and to the inhabitants of several other Maryland cities. Plans for the organization of a statewide association of horseshoe pitchers are being formulated and when completed will be submitted for approval. The 1930 champion demonstrated that one must keep at the game the year 'round if one is to become proficient. Consequently an organization that will keep the game alive at least nine out of the twelve months in the year, should prove valuable. So, I'll be tellin' you. **Going — Going — Gone** Among other things that are distasteful to many sports fans, particularly the sepian brotherhood, is the decision that was rendered against Young Jack Thompson in Cleveland, Friday night. Thompson was the most surprised man in the house when his Nordic foe, Tommy Freeman, was awarded the decision which carries with it the title of world's weiterweight champion. Freeman was regarded by many sport critics as being "washed up" four or five years ago. Just how he could come back and defeat the champion is still something of a puzzle to them. Either Thompson or the referee was very bad or else Freeman was underrated. But there's always this to be considered, as the Washington Times, a white daily, pointed out editorially following the Chocolate-Herg fight. "Boxing is a game run for profit, and honesty cuts a small figure in it. Crowds that pay big prices for prize fights are made up of white men. Colored men can hardly afford such prices. "Any kind of brutality interests and pleases those white men. But they PREFER a white man to beat a black one. In addition, with the white man winning, there could be a return match, presumably with the black man winning. And after that, ANOTHER match, the same facts contributing generously to the three successive fights." Which to me, is about as good a solution as any. G Who T run That Brick?

Sir Thomas lists the men players in the following order: Weir, Turner, Thompson, Salitch, Nathaniel Jackson, Gerald Norman, Wilbur Clarke and Solomon Worde. He leaves out Edgar Brown, James Stocks and Bank Graham because of "insufficient competition."

Action of students at Howard University in making a public appeal for funds with which to run a training table for football players at the school on the hilltop is causing quite a stir in collegiate circles, not to mention a few others. If such a table is established it will place the Howard football team on a purely professional basis, a thing to which President Mordecail Johnson is bitterly opposed. Those on the inside point to the movement as another attempt to "get back" at Dr. Johnson, more than it is an attempt to get free food for gridiron stars. Be that as it may, if the table is established and football players are given free board as it is expected, the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association is going to have a problem of discipline on its hands. If this is allowed it will open the gateway for other schools to start bargaining for football stars.

McDONALD IN FORM Lundy and Mackey Contribute Home Runs. The Baltimore Black Sox, strengthened by the addition of several new stars, lowered the colors of the Hilldale club in two games at Maryland Park, Sunday, by the scores of 7-6 and 5 to 2. "Submarine" McDynald, who is finishing out the season with the locals after having played all summer with a white Minnesota club, had Hildale at his mercy in the opening, while the Black Sox bunched their hits off Phil (Crybaby) Cockrell to win by a wide margin. McDynald was in excellent form and sent back nine Darbies via the ether route. Yields Four Hits He allowed only four hits, and with the bases loaded and none out in the ninth, proved his mettle by striking out two and making the third man an easy hit by him by his mates to furnish a well-earned decision. Eggleton Stars Eggleton was the batting star of the first game, his triple in the third inning, starting the rally that will have won him more than enough to win the game. Streeter faced Oscar in the second out. and allowed three hits, one a home run by Bizz Mackey, Streetball's dale catcher's favorite dish, and Blizz lifted it over the centerfield wall. Oscar walked Jud Wilson in this contest to get Dick Lundy, but Sir pitcher surpassed him in the ball for a circuit clout. Oscar allowed five hits, all of which the Sox converted into runs.

Haley, it has reported, has always been a thorr in the side of Negro fighters and is said to have been a thorr against Freeman in any of the latter's fights that he referred. He gave a decision against Gorilla Jones of Akron, when Jones knocked Freeman down several fights, and the latter fight, calling the bout a draw. The following morning the Cleveland Plain Dealer asked the Boxing Commission what Jones had to do in order to win a fight. Haley also referred the Chocolate-Berg fight. The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly Washington Wins for Third Successive Year; New York is Third. MISS BROWN TRIUMPHS Is Awarded Beautiful Pentathlon Trophy. WASHINGTON—Baltimore swimmers, making a valiant fight despite the absence of several of their stars, again missed victory as the team representing the Francis Pool here won for the third consecutive year the annual water carnival and meet at the Francis Pool, Saturday. By virtue of their victory the Washington team retains the big silver loving cup emblematic of team supremacy. The capital swimmers scored 68 points. Baltimore was second with 42 and New York, with 21, was third. The New York team was composed of only four young men and the ability and sportsmanship of the group won high praise from the big gallery. The special trophy for the men's high point score went this year to Lucas Howard of the 15 points. He won first in the Miller Memorial 50-yard race; first in the 100-yard free style; second in the 100-yard breast stroke and was a member of the winning 200-yard relay team. Edwin K. Bruce, a teammate was second high scorer Wilbur Wallace, high point man of '28 was out of the city preparing to enter Iowa University in a few days, and Fred Douglass, high point man of '29, doubling brilliantly in the relays was unable to enter the open events and defend his title because of a recent operation. The Girl's Team from Baltimore led by Miss Helen Merrill and Francis Mermaid, garnering 21 points in the three events listed for open competition. Miss Brown Wins Trophy Miss Brown was adjudged the best all around girl swimmer by virtue of her first in the 50-yard free style; first in the diving; second in the breast stroke; third in the side stroke and fourth in the 11. Miss J. Clarke Bailey of the Francis Team was a close second with 13 points consisting of a first, a third and two fourths. Miss Brown, to top off a great day, swam anchor on the winning 'niel relay team and was presented the The Francis Junior Team led by Morris Jackson with 10 points, came from the Tampa Bay tumor, by a score of 17-9. The diving of Champlin Male of Baltimore was of Relay Thrills The polo game between the star teams of the two life guards, Joe Drew and John Harris, provided plenty of fun for the spectators and much water for some of the contestant, but the real thrills came in the relays. They were all close and that final between A. Jackson and for the New York team, and Fred Doughon, the home team will be a thing long remembered. Douglass won in the last few yards by the very scariest of marlins.

Then wash thoroughly with water and apply a silver silver polish. A teaspoonful of ordinary tea, steeped in a tin cup to the temperature of the hair, will keep it in curl for a week or more.

GOO Ball A GOOD "MIXER" Farm and Garden WELCOME PARASITES Nut and fruit crops soon are to be given added protection from insect injury through work of the United States department of agriculture which is enlisting the aid of new parasites to help control pest infestation. Entomologists announce they have found an aid in a little parasite called "traggramma minutum" which produces twins and even multiple sets of twins within the eggs of other insects. This parasite in particular is expected to be liberated soon in peanut groves of Georgia where what is known as the nu case borer is threatened. It is thought that possibly this same control insect may be useful for propagation farther north in fruit orchards. Two small wasplike parasites which lay their eggs in the grub of the fruit moth are being grown at Moorstown, N.J. Another control for the coding of the moth is in an endeavor to aid orchard cultivation. Practical propagation in lat. numbers in the main problem, the bureau of entomology has announced. More established is the work on control by parasites of the gypsy and brown tail moth and more recently parasitic insect for the European corn borer. KERPS INSECTS AWAY Whitewash the inside of the window boxes before putting earth in them. This not only preserves the boxes, but keeps away the insects. NEVER WRAP MEAT'S Meat should never be put to the ice box wrapped in paper, as the paper has a tendency to absorb the juices. BB WATCHING THE BIG PARADE By RALPH MATTHEWS A Few Slices of Life Down around the gambling joints in a certain section of Baltimore, they'll tell you about Bee Bee. Where he got the name, or what it means, I do not know. But as an authority on gambling and the Bible, Bee Bee has no equal. They say he's fifty-odd; nobody kno' for sure. He's slightly paused, or has some such aliment that keeps him from working. Perhaps it's laziness. The underworld says that, regardless of what transactinon B Bee engages he will have to the market he will have to the market he would rather earn five cents by tricuring some the five mill... honestly, they say. The method and not the end... his greatest pleasure. They will also all tell you that Bee Bee is the best man in the world. He learned to read during his fifteen years in prison. He can trip any student of theology on the Scriptures. While he is a storehouse of knowledge many and a parapenty all subjects, he knows gambling and the Bible best. The Well of Loneliness She seemed ill at ease the night that I met her backstage at an amateur performance in Newburgh. Her performance later resumed not for my but because of the fact that I was a stranger :and perhaps did not know her situation. She was a lonely and perceived, but why? She was undoubtedly attractive. "I am a misfit," she explained sometime later when I had gained her confidence. "You see, I am not colored at all, but white. When my mother married me, I had own friends refused to associate with me anymore. "I then sought colored friends and tried to make myself liked, but, try as I would, they could not forget that I was different. They accepted me, but with that reserve that you could become interested in me, they say he is just running after me because I am 'white' and he is shamed off. "Oh, I can make plenty of friends of the lower types of dogs. Kind. Sporting men would spend their money on me, but 'don't want that. I do not want money, I want companionship with women. I want a touch of skin. 'Cool's in a touch spot, kid." I said. Disillusionment It was in the basement of a towering apartment house on Tenth Street, just off Broadway, that Leo and I chatted. A more interesting fellow, I was surprised by the world like a college professor and possessing a clarity of duty that belied his present occupation. Leo was an elevator operator. There is one beautiful thing in Leo's life and years the bitterness and disappointment he has a perfect right to feel—his wife and four children. How he loves them! The son of one of the first families of Jamaica, Leo's great ambition this year is to be a famous person and he end his home and became an intern in an American hospital in Cuba. From a friend in Harlem came letters of America, "Negroes" these letters said, "are earning as high as $65 and $70 per week. America is the land of opportunity." Leo pondered. Such money meant Oxford University, which he had moved to New York. The friend who wrote the letters was, himself, of a job and hungry. America, to Leo, is one continual round of elevators, mop pails and preloaders, glistening in his determined eyes, "so help me God, I will work night and day so I can educate my children to the point where they will never have to go around back and entrench through a 'Servants' Entrance.' "I could send my girls back home, where my father is rich from his rum shop, but they would learn the evils of caste. "I want them to learn the equality of America, but be able to keep themselves in the know and level their knowledge and service." "The bell rung. Leo closed the Lors The bell rang. Leo closed the doors and went up the shaft. The "Worst Boy in Town" I hadn't seen him (I'll call his name John) since we were kids, together. Was the kind of chap with whom mothers forbid their children to play—the kind they call "the worst boy in town." But somehow I liked him. And that day, when I met him in Union station, I was urged him to stand right there while I rushed to get my mother to speak to him. There was a fleeting glance in his eye as I hurried away, but I hardly noticed it. To my surprise, he returned. I asked John had elapsed. Only a few minutes had elapsed, and I could not understand. I thought all the boys back in my old home town liked my mother. Several days later, I ran across a report that John had escaped from prison on the day I met him. Did he think that I knew all the while and used my mother as a ruse cop? I have never heard him since. I don't know what he thinks. June-December Romance She had gotten on the train somewhere between Pittsburgh and Fort Wayne, Indiana, but she was in the seat across from me when the porter pulled down the door and opened the paper and magazines, we struck up a conversation. "And you're from Baltimore," she mused, "God, how I hate that town. I married a man there old enough to be my mother. He still there now, I now." "It was at a party—the first wild party I had ever attended—that I got home. There was a friend of my father's there, and he took me to his house for the night and this made things worse. I couldn't go home at "He offered to marry me and I consented, because I was too young and too dumb to think of anything else. He did not. But I hated him because he had a husky: mustache and chewed tobacco and did a lot of other things that old men do. I stood it a little while and then ran off to Harrisburg and now I'm living in Chicago. We took a bus up to South Parkway. "If you hear of an old man dying by this name," she said, sliping a piece of paper into my hand. "I think I come to like back bap尔 again."

These were everywhere, on the dresser, on a small stand table, on a large book table, on chair itoms, and even on the wide window sills. For two days and two nights Dwight (Fat) Moody, the venerable colored porter at the hotel, had been a prisoner virtually, in that room, and had even had his meals served there. The lack of his accustomed exercise, the fervid air laden with cigaret smoke, the lying in wait of this tiger ready to spring, bore heavily upon the health of the big man who had volunteered his services to the Fork Railroad interests, but lifted him up considerably in the esteem of many influential people. Fat had come into his own and was By JULIA JEROME A view of the city of angels is in distress. My dear Mrs. Jerome: My husband recently died. For the first time, I have been in love with another man and I imagined that he was in love with me. He made violent declarations of love to me and longed for the time when I was his only child. Now, that I am free he scarcely notices me. In fact, he tries to avoid me. I cannot understand. It does not seem to be another woman—he just isn't interested any more in me. Can you explain it? Very likely he is one of those modern pests, the bachelor who preys upon other men's wives.

It was all his own, this opportunity, and he was resolved that nobody should prevent its realization He had heard the magic message delivered by a new arrival at the hotel to an older guest, and knew that a nefarious piece of business was being planned. Having secretly warned the authorities, he was appointed to fill the capacity of house detective, and to further his own scheme, he moved into this small room. The reason of this step was this: Just a short piece across a narrow court was an open window. Passing to and fro in front of this opening there was, not infrequently, men with sawed-off shotguns, pistols and burglar tools. All these thines Dwight saw, and more. He overheard some of the words that were being bandied between them. They were grim bandits, conspiring, arranging the details for an extraordinary train robber, with twenty thousand dollars as the stake. Dwight Moody learned enough take a wife of his own; who is too selfish to want to give up his freedom; he plays married women because he thinks they are "suffer." As along the husband is alive he has no fear of complaining, which might him in freedom and force him to assume the responsibility of a wife and a possible family. Such men can make all kinds of avowals to married women of everlasting love without fearing any lawsuits for breach of promise. Don't waste any time mourning over the loss of your love. Don't be lucky you didn't get him. There are plenty of men who are willing to fulfill all the requirements of society, to love, honor and cherish a good wife. Seek and ye shall find. Baked Eggs and Cheese Break the desired number of eggs into a shallow greased earthenware or glass baking dish, add a few tablespoons of cream, and enough spoonfuls of the grated cheese mixed with fine, dry bread crumbs. Set this dish in a pan containing hot water and bake in the medium for 10 minutes. Set the crumbs are brown. Just before serving, add a few dashes of paprika. from crouching down beside the sill at his window to enable him to outwit the trio of smooth 'law violators. When, at length, the time came for him to leave his dungeon—it had really become like that to him—he drew a deep sigh of relief. But he didn't pause. Swiftly he made his way home, to the miniature vinecovered cottage where h's trusting and patient wife awaite, word of the results of his bold venture. He immediately took her in his arms, kissed her affectionately, grabbed a pistol which he shoved into an expensive holster, and after his good-bye arrived from the house. She did not ask him when he was coming back; she just seemed willing to trust him to come back, to trust him and—God. She was that type of loyal woman. For twenty years she had lived with Dwight Moody, and during those twenty years she had learned to trust her man, something many women never learn to do. Dwight's information to the railroad officers was adequate. "They are figuring on kidnapping the girl dispatcher at Kalser and meeting the train there. They will cut the engine loose from the express car, run it down the track to the water tank, and kill the fireman and the engineer. The robbery will take place as soon as 108 reaches Kalser." A world of information there, indeed, the fruits of his two days of unbroken vigilance. If he never made another step toward thwarting the conspiracy, the fact that he had accomplished the part of obtaining the information was a noble and all-important deed. However, he didn't intend to stop there. "I've gone far this," he declared energetically, "and I'm going further. Till it be right there when the guns start to bark." And he was. The authorities thought it better to let the bandits go ahead and kidnap the girl dispatcher, then they would rescue her when the right moment came. And the king of the outlaws, Ray Spears, resourceful, who has known throughout the State of Missouri, as well as in California, where he spent five years in prison, saw that his henchmen had rendered a faithful job in the kidnapping of Mortha Hobbs. The petite blonde telegrapher did not know what was going on, and had little time to devote thou'rt to the subject. She suddenly felt the muzzle of a pistol being thrust into the small of her back, knew that she was being held in a pair of powerful hands, and that her clothes were whoring young body, th. she was bound and jumped. Left helpless to strike back or to cry out, she was then thrown onto the floor, nude, under the table upon which were the telegraph instruments, and left there. She saw the three men and made a mental note of their looks, determined to remember them if the occasion ever came when her memory would aid in their capture. She was not excited, feeling that by some miraculous happening, her life would be saved as well as the fast express, which was thundering it way towards the little station down there in the southeast Missouri hills. There were no houses in Kalser with the exception of the section house, and the closest town was twenty miles away. With a violent shaking of the unsubstantial building, the train swept down upon the shack, the headlight on the enormous engine cutting a solid yellow path in the blackness of the night. A deafening sound of the whistle which seemed to split the world wide open, the roll of heavy steel wheels against steel rails, thunder, flashing of countless lights, a long dark shadow, and the train pulled to a stop with a screeching of protesting and lamenting brakes. The conductor ran into the station for his orders, followed by the brakeman, and were met by the steady pistol barrels in the hands of the bandits. Thrust into the ticket office, and locked in there, these men of the train crew were as powerless to help themselves as the helpless girl under the table, who hesitated to make herself known to them because of her state of nakedness, realizing that they were bound to see her when they unfastened the ropes that made her a prisoner. She was dressed in an unfortunate predicament and for a long time debated with herself as to what was the best to do. However, she eventually gave in to the wisest plan, which was to make her presence known. She then began to beat the floor with her heels, thudding out a message of appeal for help. The outlaws, headed by the dangerous Ray Spears and his formidable assistants, cut the engine off from the express car, ran it down the track to the water tank, held up the express messengers, and blew open the safe. All this took place with neatness and dispatch. The bandits were old heads at the business, and it was only a few minutes until they had obtained the twenty thousand dollars, shoved it into a burp sack, and were running towards the engine on which they planned to ride to a point far down the line where they had concealed an automobile in a clump of trees near the track. But—things went wrong when they reached the engine. Fulgent instruments of death appeared in the dark velvet of the night. One of these was the revolver in Dwight Moody's hand. He cut down the leader of the outlaws, his bullet going straight home. Then, began a pitched battle between the two remaining outlaws and the half-dozen in, whose midst was Dwight Moody. In reality, was the hero of the occasion. Bullets whanged and sang, slugs tore holes in the black curtain; there were flashes of fire, sparks from the hot muzzles of whipping weapons, groans, curses, sounds of bodies dropping like lumps of coal against the ground, and when the smoke cleared away, the last one remaining of the bandit gang had crumpled to the earth with a bullet in his lung.

FOOD TALK Constipation is one of the recognized lilies of the present day. Dizzy spells, headaches, fatigue, irritated appendix, bad complexions, and bad breath may result from poor elimination. Often the afflicted think their elimination is adequate, and they go on from day to day attributing their trouble to some other cause. A thorough daily diet will give relief in many such cases. Elimination in normal individuals is normal when diet and habits are normal. Some of us allow our work to make us lazy about eating and engaging in physical activity as exercise in obtaining natural intestinal movements. A diet which prevents or corrects constipation must include bulky foods, contain some of the nutrients that tend to yield a little gas, and that some lubricate the tract. Fruits and vegetables contain cellulose, or woody fiber, which is not, as a rule, digested or absorbed and tends to hold and even take up water. Foods rich in cellulose are asparagus, cabbage, celerie, dried beans and dried peas, lettuce, onions, spinach, figs, prunes, raisins, and fruits eaten with their skins and cereals from which bran has not been removed, as rolled oats and whole wheat cereal. Vegetable acids that act as mild stimulants to intestinal movements occur in oranges, lemons, rhubarb, apples, and tomatoes. Those with stomachs sensitive to concentrated acids in milled fruits such as figs and prunes. (One fruit containing quite a little acid which is constipating is blackberries.) Foods that yield gas are honey, molasses, onions, cabbage, dried beans, and cauliflower. The gas formed in fermentation breaks up dined, wined, and feted to no unconsiderable extent, and the newspapers made much of his fine, glorious accomplishment. But as soon as he could escape from all that, he went hurriedly home to the little woman who was still patiently waiting, who had trusted hi mto come back, and who had gone on believing that God would enable him to come back, just as safely as any husband had ever come back to a waiting and trusting wife to make her happy.

Bake slowly for about an hour and a half, or until the potatoes and ham are thoroughly cooked. Cover the baking dish for the first hour of the cooking. Add salt and fat of the ham are sufficient to season the potatoes if necessary, add a little hot milk from time to time during the cooking. There should be enough liquid to form a tasty sauce. Add the potatoes. Serve the ham and potatoes from the baking dish. If the ham is very salty, soak it preferably in buttermilk or sour milk before cooking it with the potatoes.

MOB LYNCHES PRISONER IN COUNTY JAIL DARIEN, Ga. - While state militia with machine guns, stood by, a number of armed men forced their way into the McIntosh County jail and riddled the body of George Grant, 40, with bullets and went their way Monday. The shooting took place soon after Colonel Roy Neal, commanding a detachment of twenty-five Georgia state guardsmen, had taken Grant into custody after he had been accused of being one of three men who was an officer following an attempt-bank robbery. Shot in Jail That there was little or no resistance to the work of the lynchers was evidenced by the fact that Grant was safely incarcerated in a cell then the shooting took place. The mob had been taken after Police Chief Robert Freeman had been taken into battle with two men to have shot the bank messenger in the robbery attempt. Shortly after 9:00 o'clock Sunday night, Grant was taken into custody by Colonel Neal and his men placed in the cell in the militia set up in the sea, but when the mob of male men who had been allowed to gather, carrying pistols and guns, heard that Sheriff J. H. Collins, who also been wounded in the fight, had died, they ignored the militia and was allowed to go into the an report of Collins's death was afterwards found to have been false.

VIRGINIA ELKS ARE NOT FOLLOWING CARTER VIRGINIA ELKS ARE NOT FOLLOWING CARTER Insurgent Movement Headed by Filibustering Few, Says Norfolk Lawyer. ONE LODGE REBELS Others Hit by Financial Depression, He Says. By LOUIS R. LAUTIER BY LOUIS R. LAUTIER NORFOLK, Va.-Virginia Elks will not support the insurgent leaders in the headcount, Carter, former grand treasurer of the Improved Menevouel and Protective Order of Elks of the World, which has for its purpose the spitting of the present order and the setting up of another order, said Walter H. Land, an attorney and a member of the civil liberties commission of the body headed by J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler. "The lodges of Virginia will not support the movement of the fill-bustering few," he said. "There are only a few disgruntled men in the group. The grand treasurer, who stayed in office for fourteen years on the grand lodge discover until he failed of re-election that officers of the grand lodge had been squandering money all that time. When defeated, it was only then that he discovered that the money had been squandered while he was in office and allied himself with others who have been trying to disrupt the order for the past six or seven years. He joined with them, saying that he was going to expose the inside workings of the grand lodge. "There is no lodge in Virginia, identified with, which approves or condemns the action of the few whose names appear on the Virginia charter, and the only reason some of the Virginia lodges were not represented at the grand lodge of Virginia, the financial depression. They were not able financially to pay the grand lodge tax or send delegates. "I conveyed to the grand lodge greetings from Virginia and stated that when all the lodge are financially able they will elect with which body they will function." Excuses are the patches of failure. When business is brisk, push all the harder. Jumping at conclusions is the worst kind of exercise. 16-YR. MASONIC COURT WRANGLE FINALLY ENDS York Rite Lodge in Annapolis Triumphs Over F. and A.M. $1.800 INVOLVED Majority Must Rule, Court Declares. ANNAPOLIS, Md.—If the $1,800 taken over by the banking committee of Universal Lodge, No. 14, Ancient Free and Accepted York Rite Masons when it disagreed with Joseph P. Evans, State grand master, six years ago is still in existence, they can keep possession of it, according to a ruling diminishing August 30, 1930, a complaint brought by the Evans faction in the Anne Arundle County Circuit Court. The court ruled to sustain the demurrier filed by the York Rite Lodge in answer to the suit brought July 16, 1923, 14 years after the disagreement among officials which resulted in the split, on the grounds that the allegations in the complaint were too meagre, vague and indefinite; that fourteen years' delay in filing the suit constituted laches which, with the exception of the property problem and that the Evans faction failed to amend its bill of complaint before August 30, 1930, the time limit set by the court. Recalls Clash The suit recalls the clash which brought about the disagreement. The original Universal Lodge, No. 14. Free Ancient and Accepted Masons was incorporated under this name on October 10. 1903. Until some of the Annapolis officials clashed with Joseph P. Evans in 1914 things went along smoothly. When the dissension became acute, the officials of the lodge, re-incorporated the body, changing its name to, Universal Lodge. No. 14. Free Ancient and Accepted York Rite Masons of Annapolis, Anne Arundel County and Maryland. With them went the banking committee, compiling Will Hebron, John W. Makel and John Boston, who held the funds, and the majority of the Annapolis lodge. The minority kept the F, and A. M. affiliation and the same name, Universal Lodge. At that time the York Rite Masons had as their grand master, Morris C. Burke, who had been expelled from the F. and A.M. by Evans. The finding of the court recites that the majority of the original lodge voted to amend the charter an: join the York Riters. The court, it recites, has nothing to justify it in aiding the defeated minority to out: the majority and nullify its corporate acts. Dr. Hughes in St. Louis Dr. W. A. C.

Several of the reputed higher ups have been arrested, but officers are still in the habit of "tack" anything on to them. Night Numbers Popular As night falls, baseball football have become popular in other districts, night "numbers" writing is now popular here, due to the influx of fans. Many are riding the streets by day, but as the evening approaches, the multitudes of writers shiled by dark begin their house-to-house canvases. So systematic are the organizations now, they have one man to do the writing and another to follow and up at some rendezvous. They later check up at some rendezvous. At one house located in the 5800 block of Race Street, where plays are said to be highly efficient. About midnight after the plays are made, the slips are rolled up as a simple bundle and placed on the front of the house along and takes the unsuspicious looking bundle of paper. Thus, he does not have to ring the bell and disturb the three persons approached casually on South Street who admitted they played sometime, were asked what they did when a man broke the window and finally exclaimed they changed to another house. Hiring a Store Police claim that a once popular plan of the backers was to hire a store and fit it up as a restaurant, grocery store, or some such shop appartement in the street but the Stree was pointed out to the investigator as a place where a play might be made.

But also, when the one who was introducing you, saw the Congressman coming in the distance, your sponsor said rather feverishly, to you, who had your coat on your arm because of the heat: "Put on your coat! Put on your coat! Put on your friend! Put on your coat on our arm, on a hot day, let alone a mere congressman." Only Men at Funerals And only the men attend funerals in Cuba; women are deprived that pleasure. I suppose that funerals are a sort of "limelight" parade business, and the men hog the stage. I went to market in vanua—an agnaculture town where everything from soaps and chemises to fish, pineapples, and alligator gears. There is a great square in the center of the market building, a patio; and, they say, this patio is filled with squealing pigs before Christmas and at other holiday seasons. The pig seems to be "or the national bird" here in Cuba. 80 Per Cent Colored Imitating the great nation to the north, the "white" element in Cuba is belly-aching to make the island a "white man's country." And what you a Congressman belts recommended to a young man even try to lie it into existence. So you read in Cuban literature that "the population is seventy per cent white and thirty per cent of other races." But you find those figures should be at least reversed; the population is eighty per cent colored, as "color" goes in the United States. In its desperate aim to be "white," Cuba counts every brown and yellow mixed-breed a white, and perhaps counts only one brown. "Colored." Every idea and classification depends upon what you want and what you need; if white people were as scarce in U.S.A. as they are in Cuba and Jamaica, they would immediately enroll into their ranks the bright-browned" of America. life is a screaming comedy! ture of a Camel, a Turkey, or some other special identification of an individual organization. Two officers were queried as to the nature of the organizations. They replied that they knew about the buttons but so far as they were concerned, they meant nothing.

One officer remarked that after he had made an arrest, the police phone. A number was called and immediately a bondsman appeared.

He gets a henchman to spread the game. He gets a required bank or manufacturer, and is backing the game to circulate his money. The Negroes flock to his organization, and they buy books, he jumps and goes into another district leaving the players with an empty bag."

Before so doing, he stated, his wife refused to permit his attendant to prepare him a lunch when he would come home after service, neither would she do it. No Man Loves Woman More "I became so that I did not enjoy the society of my wife, not because she was a woman, for no man loves a woman better than I do, but because she annoyed me. She annoyed me about my methods of conducting service, and antagonized me in my business proceedings. It was so during our time. Explaining why he drove with some member of the party, the evangelist explained: "When I go out for a drive, since I do not drive, I must have a member of the party to drive. I was always delighted to have her companionship on my drives when she had the time. During her own church work, after revival was over, she never had the time to go with the man, and desired to be in city. Therefore, I had to go alone with some member of the party to drive me." Comparing the companionship existing in the party to that of Christ and His disciples, the Rev. James, "I Christ found it wise to spend His time in recreational ways on the sea with His disciples, why could I not spend an hour or so driving with members of my party who work with Needs No Divorce As to probable divorce action, the evangelist remarked: "She may have one if she wishes, but as for me I do not need one. I have dedicated myself to the work of the Lord, and I did not fore I married, and pray the Lord to give me power to do His work. 'I am preparing an answer to the false charges made against me.

'It pains my heart to see all this made public, but for four years it has been like a smouldering volcano, private life has been just as spotless in the sight of members of my party as it has been in public.' Returning to the question of Spiritual state, I stated previously was the principal cause of the breaking up, he asserted that he was preparing a treatise on the revered and the true God. Spiritualism "I have no malice in my heart against my wife. She promised me on her knees, with her hand raised when she stared the same trick, that she would give up Spiritualism. She also promised that if I would take her back she would be baptized and she would be given a special other chance. I told her then, the only thing she needed to do would be to leave Spiritualism. Instead of doing so, she got deeper into it. Of Satanic Regions. "I knew that Spiritualistic medium before I married her, but I did not know what modern Spiritualism is. There is a high spiritual experience with God. The Lord in him is the one to teach people by sending a messenger or an angel, or revealing Himself directly to them through spiritual impressions. But those people are not the ones dealing with familiar spirits are not of God, but of the Satanic regions."

WHEELER FIRM Will Not Provide Training, He Tells Applicant Mayor Broening will bring the matter of barring Negro citizens from library training privileges to the attention of the Library Board, he told the AFRO-AMERICAN, Friday. "I am in full sympathy with the viewpoint that Negro citizens should be provided library training facilities or any other privileges provided by tax money of the City of Baltimore," said the memoir, stated that he also believed it but fair that the would be provided employment where practicable. In explaining the city's relation to the Pratt Library, Mayor Broening declared that the board administering the affairs of the institution is self-perpetuating, and that the officials of the city are not represented on he body and do not suggest appointments or administrative matters. Under the original agreement the city promised to provide certain funds when the donors gave the library to the public. The work of the institution as well as the city appropriations have grown, but there has been no change in the administration as to representation on the board. The mayor asked what the city planned to see that Negroes, who contributed to the taxes which went to run the library were given a fair deal. His answer was that he would take this matter up with the board at his earliest convenience. Board Members Reached In response to letters sent to board members by the AFRO-AMERICAN last week, after a girl reporter sent by the paper had been refused consideration as an applicant, several took a sympathetic attitude. William G. Baker, president of the board, declared: "I thank you for the suggestion made in your letter and assure you that it will be brought to the attention of the board of trustees of the Enoch Pratt Free Library." The following letter came from E. L. Robinson, trustee: "This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of August 29th referring to the offering of facilities by the Enoch Pratt Free Library for the training of Negroes for work in at least one of the branches situated in a colored neighborhood. "I shall be glad to bear in mind your suggestion whenever this matter may come before the board of trustees." Wheeler Stands Pat Chief Librarian Joseph Wheeler retreated his decision that he could not give consideration to a Negro applicant, when a reporter for the AFRO-AMERICAN checked up on applications this week. Melvin Chester Swan, 1618 Edmondson Avenue, wrote a letter to Librarian Wheeler protesting against discrimination against Negroes in the matter of class training and appointments as assistants. Uncle Wesley to Leave Home Where He Spent Half-Century Good Memory Helps Vet Find-Aged Kin to whom He Wrote Letters as a Boy. HIGHROCK GINGER ALE Accepted by the Public... Endorsed by Distinguished Authorities... The Finest Ginger Ale Made... Regardless of Price Uncle Wesley Dockins is going to have unexpected vacation. Uncle Wesley, who loiters somewhere on the other side of eighty, just how far he doesn't know, has been living in the same house, at 2212 McElderry Street, over in Old Town, for the past fifty years; and there he was discovered by a nephew almost by accident last week. Uncle Wesley did not know, that he had a living relative in the world, least of all a nephew who had tasted the horrors of the world's worst struggle and sported a croix de guerre with other medals for distinguished service on the battlefields of France. But that nephew happened to be a delegate to the convention, of the Veterans of Foreign Wars which met here last week. His name is J. W. Hopkins and he resides in Magnolia, New Jersey. Has Good Memory Finding himself in Baltimore unexpectedly, Comrade Hopkins recalled having a relative here, but just where he did not know. As a boy, long before the great war, he was a friend for his aged mother to a brother of hers here. If he remembered aright, that address was somewhere on McElderry Street—the 2200 block he recollected faintly. He took a chance. Once in the block, he tried a house and inquired for Uncle Wesley and was directed to the house just next door. There he found him living with another man in a house that about like him would keep it. His wifi had passed on and he was ill and feeble. For a while he sustained himself by being a sexton for a church, but he was too poorly now to hold that job down, so he was just piddling around. But that's all over now. His nephew is packing him up and carrying him back to Magnolia where he will probably remain—that is, if Uncle Wesley was still old home where he spent the past half century and loves so well. Took on Weight Young Hopkins has an enviable war record, having served in many of the campaigns in the World War under French commanders. Gustave M.

Among them are the Reverends Gustave and Tolly, two Episcopal ministers of this city, and Miss Ethel Caution, a school teacher. Family Split Early in their lives, one branch of the Caution family was split when death made five children homeless orphans.

PON YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULTS: The Responsibility of the Individual. Calvin Coolidge Writes on the Clergy "Few people," says ex-President Coolidge, "not intimately connected with the clergy realizing that they are imposed upon that devoted profession by business depression. Being the natural repository for troubles of the unfortunate, which strain their strength and cause them to endure in ordinary times, increase of such demands puts on them a very disproportionate share of the general depression. Yet they meet it effectively and are able to sustain it greatly the needs of themselves and their own dependents. "Many of us regard the clergy as a natural blessing, and our own self-sustaining like the sun and air. This attitude makes their compensation meager and provision for old age inadequate. This is the general lot of these forces. They are too little compensated. "In every generation the clergy have furnished the spiritual leadership on which has rested the body of the church, the progress of the times. They are the main sources of the best standards of civilization. Without their influence the nation would fall into a state of moral degradation. We must make certainly for our own, we should give them more appreciation and better support." Bishop Caldwell Opposes Repeal of Dry Law "The church should stand for the non-repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment," declared Bishop J. S. Caldwell, of Philadelphia, in an address before the district attorney of Long Island districts held at the Ralph Avenue A.M. E. Zion Church, Brooklyn, of which the Rev. Dr. S. L.

The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly Roosevelt Too Bullheaded says Oldest War Veteran 75-Year-Old Delegate Thanked by Rough Rider for Saving Him at San Juan Hill.. To be Decorated for 25 Years Service. Bv RALPH MATTHEWS "I'm from Missouri, friend, and as a rule I don't relish these here social equality affairs, but I just want to shake your hand." The speaker, a big red-faced fellow with a distinct Southern draw, fitted the word and seized the land of William H. Irons, 2-year-old delegate to the Convention of Veterans of Foreign Wars at the Lord Baltimore Hotel, Wednesday. Comrade Irons, a diminutive man of soldierly bearing, who with the exception of his gray hair, does not reveal his years, looked up at the speaker inquiringly. "Comrade," went on the Missouriian, one of Roosevelt's Rough Riders. "I owe my life to you and the boys I grew up with." Those Spaniards were sure giving us, hell, when you black boys came up and saved the day. I'm mighty proud to shake your hand." Roosevelt Bullheaded "Those chaps were in a tough spot." Comrade Irons explained later, "when we fellows in the Sixth Infantry (white) and the Twenty-fourth Infantry, and Tenth Cavalry savtid the battle of San Juan Hill. We were a pretty good soldier, but if he had been anybody else he would have been court martialed and thrown out of the army because he was too bull-headed. He had a fashion of whining, and he was a bit nervous when he tried to take San Juan Hill with his Rough Riders, he took a mouthful too big for him to swallow. The espiandiers were mowing them down like grass when we came The U.S. troops were forming a line of battle seven miles long along the front when Roosevelt disbelieved orders and tried to take the hill by himself before the other forces were driven out. He nearly lost his whole outback. Philippines Worst "The campaign in the Philippines was the worst I ever took part in." explained the veteran. "The fighting wasn't so bad, but the campaigns called for hard soldiering that the soldiers don't know anything about. "Over there we had regular guer- rilla warfare. You never prince when you had won or lost. The Moros were the toughest fathers in the war, and you pop up where and at anytime. They are still fighting over there.
