Quilts Dies After
Dance; Age 100
EDENBURG, Mo.-Aunt Lucy Lee, 100 years old, passed away November 10, and her funeral was the largest this town has ever been.

GAVE WIFE BATH, DIDN'T ENJOY IT, EITHER
GAVE WIFE BATH, DIDN'T ENJOY IT, EITHER
Ulysses L. Perkins, former Columbia University student, now residing in Baltimore, denied his wife's story that she slaved to put him through college.
Mrs. Perkins, who was formerly Lillian Mae Wilson, a Douglass High School student, and a member of a family in a divorce last week after having charged her husband with sexy affairs with other girls and named Miss Delores Walker, a former Baltimore girl, now a New York nurse, who had stolen her husband's life.
Hurt his Studying
Perkins, in denying his wife's statement, said Monday, that his wife married him to be in a position to become more popular and they disagreed because she separated him from his studies.
"I gave her to understand before we were married that I was in college and if she married me it would have to be done secretly, since I was a student and could only support her that time. She agreed to this and the Key, D. G. Mack was called to the court house and there the ceremony was performed on April 7, 1928.
"I went back to New York and got letters from friends here that Lillian was riding around in big cats with her boy friends. When I returned home and rebuked her, she told me that they were her cousins."
Referring to Mrs. Samuel Henson, who testified for Mrs. Perkins in the case, the husband said that his wife often listened to Mrs. Henson's advice instead of trying to please
Had to Bathe Her
"Many times," he said, "I had to undress my wife and bathe her myself. I found no pleasure in having to do this, but I tried hard to live with her. I found a lawyer that his wife pawned their wedding ring for eight dollars and hid the ticket in her garter.
Referring to Miss Walker, he said: "There are many pals who would lose their last drop of blood for me and she happens to be only one of the many pals we want to Virginia.
Perkins said that his wife went to Virginia and left him flat, but not without finances, because he always had over $1,000 saved to continue his studies in Columbia. This was the amount he had when he met her ried and to protect it he turned it over to his mother for safe keeping.
"I did not intend to take any chances," he said, "after noting my wife's attitude toward me. She felt she was pretty enough to get her shoes, she wanted them in the palm of her hand by her superior influence, but I wasn't born to be a woman's foot."
Perkins said he didn't contest the case because he had financed the divorce case for her and she asked him not to do so.
"I am indeed happy to be a single man ask me with my studies at Columbia, no girl's hard luck story is going to make me offer her protection.
"Women may come and women may go, but one to success, married life was a failure from the beginning. It is the life for a two, not a one, horse power machine."

WHITE BARONS CONTROL DIGITS IN COLUMBUS, O.
Police War on Game there Fails to Make a Dent.
BETS MADE IN OPEN
Most of Stations on East Long Street. COLUMBUS, Ohio.—Blue-coated policemen in Ohio's capital also have blue noses, operators of numbers syndicates here are finding following recent raids in the Long Street area. Local police at the behest of Thomas E. French chief of police have for the past month been waging a relentless war on "policy" or "the numbers," as the gambling on the New York Clearing House daily reports has been variously characterized.
Yet, in spite of arrests and raids local numbers barons are reaping a bountiful harvest from the Columbus citizenry who believe that by some miraculous twist or quirk of fate they may be enabled to procure wealth. The number of the numbers here seems to be lodged in a group of white business men who operate through Negro representatives.
One powerful syndicate has gained control of the game here; for, while smaller ones have flourished temporarily, heavy "hits" have forced them to disband, some of the operators being forced to flee the city under

Bishop Clair Suspends Rev. I. Garland Penn REDS ARE BLAMED DR. PENN OUSTED FOR MARRIAGE OF THREATENS TO WHITE HEIRESS SUE BISHOP
CHICAGO. — Communism is blamed for the marriage of Dolores Ford, beautiful young white pop bottle heiress, to Eugene Newton, jazz dancer, by Col. Edwin M. Hadley, white, author of the novel Sinister Shadows, who spoke before the Chicago chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
He declared the marriage was an insidious plot hatched by Soviet Russia to warp the moral standards of sons and daughters of the rich, bringing about a general decline so as to establish a bond of sympathy with anarchistic ideas of communism.
The marriage of the $20,000,000 heiress which subsequently went on the rocks was the direct result of ideas which the German at Smith College in the east, Col. Hadley declared.
"Prof. Frank Hankins at Smith College sent out a questionnaire upon which appeared these questions discussed by young girls: 'Do you prefer marriage without children or do you prefer marriage without marriage?' Prof. Hodgley said.
Crossing the Line
"This is the same instructor who stated in his book: 'It seems that large numbers of malattos latterly have crossed the line into white stock. One cannot see where there should be the slightest objection to this from the standpoint of race biology.'"
"Such ideas are broadcast to boys and girls of high school age by certain professors as part of the propaganda campaign of Soviet Russia in order to moral standardize this country."
"Students in Chicago are recruited for so-called 'reconciliation' trips, evidently under the sanction of the university authorities. These mixed groups of 18- and 20-year-old boys and girls are fed at Negro clubs, community centers, and the prospectus of the trip calls 'the socially maladjusted', or, in plain language, "degenerates."
Chi Club Members Arrested
Col. Hadad is not alone in his
views, it seems. This week there was
evidence that certain policemen in the
city of Chicago had been arrested
of the Seven Arts Club, a liberal
organization which entertains colored
guests, had adjourned their last meeting
for a tour of the colored district.
When the white men and women
were observed by policemen in the
certain house, they were immediately arrested on
the assumption that they were suspicious characters. All were dismissed the following day in court.

AGNOSTIC KILLS JIM CROW; JEW, CHRISTIAN WINK
Darrow More Christian than Rabbi, Catholic.
NEW YORK—A firm stand by Clarence Darrow of the N.A.A.C.P. National Legal Committee, broke down an attempt at segregating colored people in a meeting held November 18 in Washington.
"The meeting in the Washington Auditorium began an "all-star forum" in which Clarence Darrow as an Argnostic explained why he was an agnostic; Rabbi Abram Simplon explained why he was a Jew; Quin O'Brien explained why he was a Noble Pierce why he was a Protestant. All speakers are white.
Gallery Only
On November 14, the Washington D.C. Branch of the N.A.A.C.P. learned that arrangements were made for people at the meeting, the manager of the Auditorium statin boldly that colored Auditorium statin boldly that colored lerv only.
The famous F. G. Merritt, president of the branch, got in touch with the various speakers, in an effort to persuade them to withdraw from speaking unless the women were op-ed speakers would make the issue, save only Mr. Darrow, who was finally reached by Walter White, acting secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., in New York. He organized the management objecting to the segregation.
Agnostic Does Christian Thing
"It was therefore the so-called Agnostic who did the Christian thing, vi. broke down segregation once at least," comments the Rev. James Memorial Congregational Church of Washington in writing to the N.A.A.C.P. his thanks and pledge of loyalty. Says the Rev. Brooks in his letter to the
"As I told you over the telephone the management of this affair had already set apart the seats in the gallery of the auditorium for Negroes.

POSSIBILITIES IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ABROAD:
In order to give the public a graphic and comprehensive idea of the possibilities of Causby's Parisian Laboratories, Inc., we will give a few statistics compiled by the Department of Commerce:
Although American toiletries are sold in over 100 foreign markets, the United States furnished only 1-6 of the total import demand in 1986. (The interest year from which statistics were obtained was 1927, the production of these goods amounted to $237,000,000 and our export values were $13,000,000,000, which was 5½ per cent of our output, average monthly increase in production value since 1922 has been more than $1,500,000.
Approximately 70 per cent of the demand for our American toilet preparations abroad come from 15 countries. These markets each receive annually from $200,000.00 to $300,000.00 worth of American toilet preparations with a steady increase in demand for more each year.

He was born in Southern Virginia and spent the four years immediately preceding the Civil War in Haiti.
He served two terms in the common council from the old West End District. His accomplishments in the council were such as to merit his advancement to the legislature where he served on many important committees. It was during his term that he sponsored a bill which resulted in the erection on Boston Common of the memorial to Crispus Attucks.
After leaving the legislature he was appointed a court officer (the first of his group) where he remained until he retired about ten years ago. Through the efforts of the late Senator Hoar, he was appointed as Minister Electrography, and Extraordinary to Haiti.

D.C. SHOOLS ARE DEFICIENT IN ARITHMETIC
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Teaching of arithmetic in elementary and junior high schools was made a major objective of this school year because of a 50 per cent deficiency in this subject, in grades 4 to 8, divisions 10-13, according to the annual report of Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent, in charge of colored schools.
Blame on Text Books
Unsatisfactory results in mathematics in the junior high schools were attributed by the head of the department of mathematics to the text books in use and the course of study.
The research department report however, that the deficiency in arithmetic in the elementary schools and the unsatisfactory results in the teaching of mathematics in the junior high schools may be due to the quality of teaching as well as other reasons.
Mr. Wilkinson' reported that his office had already taken action to correct the situation. Committees on the teaching of arithmetic have been appointed with instructions to go fully into the facts and formulate a program of remedial measures for the guidance of teachers during this school year. Eliminate Teaching Principles Mr. Wilkinson believes that teaching principles should be eliminated at the earliest possible moment in order that all elementary classes may have the full-time services of principles in "the more important work of supervision of instruction."

Mr. Willkinson says that supervision of all elementary grades should be unified under the Assistant Superintendent in charge of elementary schools rather than the middle school, he recommends the promotion of the director of primary instruction to the rank of professor of practice teaching at the Minor Teacher College. He recommends the primary instruction in divisions 10 to 13, and the limiting of the function of the Assistant Superintendent in charge of elementary schools to that of supervision and the improvement of in-
Indusirial Arts
School officials are immediately concerned with a problem of administration. What officers, who are responsible for administering the program of industrial arts? What official responsibility, if any, have the directors of fine art, music, household arts and manual training, in connection with this question? "What part may teachers of certain special subjects in the grades take in operating the industrial arts?" What teachers of the necessary art and skill involved in instruction?" asks Mr. Wilkinson in his report.

est Point CONGRESS OPENS ON DEC. 1; MAY CONFIRM TWO
Congressman Oscar DePriest, Chicago, is back at his desk in the House office building. Many other legislators have returned to prepare for the winter session of Congress.
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Two nominations will be sent to the Senate shortly after the final session of the Seventy-first Congress convenes December 1.
They are the nominations of Charles E. Mitcher of Institute, Washington to be member to Liberia, and Jefferson S. Cohen to be recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia.
With the reappointment of Judge James A. Cobb, which was confirmed during the last session of Congress, these nominations will make a total of three outstanding Presidential appointments sent to the Senate by President Hoover.
There are two others, Charles Anderson, collector at the Avenue revenue and Walter L. Cohen, comptroller of customs at New Orleans, holding Presidential offices.
Confirmation of the nominations of Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Cohen are expected without any serious opposition. The Republican majority in the Senate will be joined by Democrats from eastern and western states, voting for Senator Coleman L. Blease of South Carolina, and Thomas Hefflin of Alabama; "lame duck" Democrats, are the only known Senators who will vote against their confirmation.
Mitchell Succeeds Francls
Mr. Mitchell was appointed to succeed the late William T. Francls, who died of yellow fever at his post in November 1928. Mr. Mitchell has not yet sailed for the Liberian capital. He will probably remain here until after his confirmation.
Coage Succeeds Froe
Mr. Coage was appointed to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Arthur G. Froe. At the time he was the second vice president, he immediately upon his appointment he took the oath of office and entered upon his duties upon the retirement of Mr. Froe.

"Since the establishment of the housing plan, objection has been taken to it by members of certain organizations and the enactment of the Negro race, on the ground of alleged discrimination. Therefore the subject is being reviewed by the university administration to the end that justice may be

Wakeful restless CHILD needs Castoria
VV
WE can never be sure just what makes an infant restless, but the remedy can always be the same. Good old Castoria! There's comfort in every drop of this pure vegetable preparation, and not the slightest harm in its frequent use. As often as baby has a fretted spell, is feverish, or cries and can't sleep, let Castoria soothe and quiet him. Sometimes it's a touch of colic. Other times it's constipation. Or diarrhea—a condition that should always be checked promptly. Just keep Castoria handy, and give it promptly. Relief will follow very promptly; if it doesn't you should call a physician.
All through babyhood, Castoria should be a mother's standby; and a wise mother continues it in more liberal doses as a child grows up.

These simple people believe that the drouth is God's method of punishing them for their sins.

Little credence can be placed upon the word of a man who is a well-known prevaricator, when he says other people are liars. It is then he speaks out of the fullness of his heart. Knowing full well that he is incapable of the truth, he seeks to bring other men down to his level.

From Boston to Atlanta
Repudiate Hoover and Hooverism.
Remember Judge Parker.
Heflin was indorsed by Alabama Republicans.
Hoover approves illly-G.O.P. in South Carolina.
Remember our Gold Star Mothers.
Pamphlets discussing these subjects were distributed in arch Republican Massachusetts during the last election by the Colored Democratic League which helped us a Democratic Senator and a Democratic Governor into office.
Meanline down in Washington last week.
G.O.P. leaders cut a statement which indicated that the administration had begun at least to feel the sling of criticism among Negroes which began shortly after Hoover's election and has increased ever since.
A good mining, but no good human, engineer. Mr. Hoover might well prick up his ears when from Manhattan he comes to the machines in the lumber屋 so large that the workers can think of nothing else.
Why Not?
Senator Fess (Rep, Ohio), G.O.P. chairman, says that unless the party remains dry, it might as well say "good day." To this, Columbia University's president, Nicholas Murray Butler, replies that unless the G.O.P. goes wet, it might as well say "good-night." Dry Congressmen will have a majority in the House, but many are wet. Kelly declares that if the G.O.P. advocates prohibition repeal, the parties will split and dry Democrats and Republicans will come to from a new party.

New York Judges
The Dunbar News (New York City) calls to mind the final record of Negro judges who have been appointed or elected to municipal benches in several cities. It cited Judge Ruffin of Boston, Judge Straker in Detroit, Judge Samuel Crider for Kimball, West Virginia, Judge Edward Henry and the late Judge Amos Scott for Philadelphia, Albert George for Chicago, and Judge James A. Cobey for the late Judge Robert H. Terrell for oblastian.
The Dunbar News (New York City) calls to mind the fine record of Negro judges who have been appointed or elected to municipal benches in several cities.
It cited Judge Rudge of Boston, Judge Stiraker in Detroit, Judge Samuel Crider for Kimball, West Virginia, Judge Edward Henry and the late Judge Amos Scott for Philadelphia, Judge Albert George for Chicago, and Judge James A. Cobb and the late Judge Robert H. Terrell for Washington.
In every case, says the News, the record shows that these judges have been without exception "upright, enlightened and human."
In the last election Judge George was defeated. Cleveland also failed by 2,000 out of 110,000 to elect a Negro judge.
In New York, by running Negroes both as Democrats and Republicans, elected Judge Watson and Judge Toney whom New York welcomes and the rest of the country salutes as worthy of those who have been called "judge" before them.

Health Week Change
Twenty-five years ago Booker T. Washington inaugurated a movement designed to reach farm and city areas of health and sanitation, and year clean-up and health week campaigns were conducted in 2,500 communities and a million people were reached through newspapers, posters and literature.
At the Health Week Conference held last month in Washington the headquarters were Dr. R. R. Motton declared that "Tuskegee is always willing to turn over to others who may be better equipped, the special interests which it has fostered."
Actually it was the hope of many friends of Health Week that its headquarters and supervision would be taken over by the U.S. Public
Twenty-five years ago Booker T. Washington inaugurated a movement designed to reach farm and city with a message of health and sanitation. Last year clean-up and health week campaigns were conducted in 2,500 communities and a million people were reached through newspapers, posters and literature. The Week Conference held last month in Washington the headquarters were transferred from Tuskegee to Howard University. Dr.R. R. Moton declared that "Tuskegee is always willing to turn over to others who may be better equipped, the special interests which it has fostered."
Actually it was the hope of many friends of Fletcher Week that its headquarters and supervision would be taken over by the U.S. Public Health Service.
The transfer to Howard doesn't mean that Trustegue is wary of good work, but merely places Health Week so close to the U.S. Surgent that it can knock on his door more frequently.
Untouchable
The world-wide color bar received such an assault last week that it is important that Americans take note of it.
Similar to the color line in the U.S.A. is the operation of the caste system in British India, which separates light high caste Hindus from the low class Untouchables or Scavenger caste.
Indian Untouchables are barred from public schools, churches, bathing braches, public wells, the police force, the army, commercial, industrial and professional posses. American Negroes know all of these varied types of discrimination. However, the Indian caste system goes even further and ferries the Untouchables from approaching nearer than 60 to 50 feet to the higher castes.
Conspiring to our 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments, the Indian Government has regulations declaring equality of all citizens but likewise as in the U.S.A. certain classes object and no effort it made to enforce these laws.
Corresponding to our 18th, 14th and 15th Amendments, the Indian Government has regulations declaring equality of all citizens but likewise as in the U.S.A., certain clauses object and no effort it made to enforce these laws.
This is the sad picture upon which new light was thrown last week in London. High caste Indians in order to obtain a unanimous plea to England for Indian independence signed an agreement with representatives of the Umbouchables designed to wipe out the Indian color line. The delegates at the London Conference, high and low, light and dark, met with absolute social equality, and agreed that caste lines must go. They pointed to a Youth League and a Woman's Movement which have been responsible for 1,000 intermarriages in the last three months.
England had relied upon India's color bar and caste system to prevent a united and determined appeal for independence.

Rah, Morgan!
Morgan College football team returned home Sunday morning from Hampton, Virginia, with the intercollegiate championship tucked under its arm. For the past three years, Morgan, aled by Lanky Jones, Pinky Clark and company, has yearly brought to Baltimore a collegiate basketball championship. This year, Morgan signalizes its entry into the Intercollegiate Association by winning the football pennant. Congratulations are due Coach Hurt and the white team squad, regulars and scrubs; and since these four championship teams in basketball and football have been produced by a student body that numbers only 162 male students the AFRO suggests that other colleges look into the meat upon which these Morgan "Caesars" are fed—or is it beans and corn none?

A Weak Church
Mr. Ira T. Bryant whose paper, the Allenite an official A.M.E. Church publication, recently linked the names of Bishop A. J. Carey and Al Capone in the same article, exposed last week the alleged love affairs of the A.M.E. bishop of Alabama.
Editor Bryant has frequently been condemned r his blistering newspaper exposes, but the AFRO does not condemn him. On the other hand, we greatly regret the mental weakness, the moral indecision and physical large but no longer MME denomination which has been graft, dirt and filth to account, until they have become an abomination, to decent, people everywhere.

On the other hand, we greatly regret the mental weakness, the moral indecision and physical power large but no longer great. Ecognition which has permitted graft, dirt and filth to accumulate, until they have become an abomination to decimate people everywhere. To Dr J. H. Dillard, white, Jeanes and Slater Fund head, the most important factor in rural life is the country preacher. Says he: "From him the masses receive their ideals of duty and conduct, of life and death. From him come all their ideas above and beyond the routine of daily life in the field and colony. Through him, more than in any other way, the masses of the Negroes can be influenced for better living.
If we have a millionaire I would have a traveling commission of competent preachers, some white and some colored. I would have them attend every Baptist association, every Methodist conference, every meeting of preachers of whatever kind. I would have them go through the country and call together meetings of preachers. I would have them hold summer schools for preachers.
"And the burden of their message should be this: that salvation is now as well as hereafter and that honest, industrial living is a real religion. Furthermore, I would place in every institution for the preparation of preachers, a teacher of sanitation and homemaking.
"In other words, I would bring home to the minds of the preachers the conviction that their religion is means for this world as well as for the next world."
The question is how can the church do its part toward enacting the city or the country preacher, if at its head are men unprepared and armored by the great task in front of them?

"And the burden of their message should be this: that salvation is now as well as hereafter and that clean, honest, industrial living is a vital part of religion. Furthermore, I would place in every institution for the preparation of preachers, a teacher of sanitation and home-making. Other words, I would bring home to the minds of the preachers the conviction that their religion is means for this world as well as for the next world."
The question is how can the church do its part toward elevating the city or the country preacher, if its head are men unprepared and unmoved by the great task in front of them?
The great majority of the Methodist laity, clergy and bishops are God-fearing Christian folk, but their own themselves of them. The unfit unit can help but reflect discredit upon the whole church.
Fire Fighters
Asked by the APRO-AMERICAN to state whether or not its colored employees are efficient fire fighters, Mr. F. Shirley, executive clerk of the Los Angeles, California, fire department writes as follows:
"We have a total of 32 colored men in this department out of a total membership of 1,700, including 4 officers. Their salarie, and opportunities for promotion are on a par with all other employees we have two companies and one truck.
"The change in location of colored houses from white neighborhood to one predominantly colored was not made on account of color distinction, as there were no complaints from white residents during the many years that the colored men were in a station where there were no colored residents.
"The colored houses are, logically very neat and well maintained, we favorably in this respect with any houses of the department, and are much better than some."
"There is a little more tendency for the colored men to get into squabbles among themselves than in our other houses. There is also a marked tendency for the colored men to incur bills which they can not meet when matured. We have had to take severe disciplinary action on account of failure of colored men seized by the number of such men being out of proportion to the number of such employed.
"There is also a greater proportion of domestic difficulties than there are among our white members."
The main question which the AFRO asked: Has Los Angeles found Negro fire fighters efficient? is answered in the affirmative. "Some of them are very efficient," says an added note; "most of them are average."
"Clean," "efficient," no complaints from the neighborhood in which they are located is a good record which is marked against us because the individual is not quibble, when not worried by other women not their wives, and not burglar bills, they cannot pay.
"Clean." "efficient," no complaints from the neighborhood in which they are located is a good record which is marred because some of the individual members squabble when not working, vamp other women not their.wives, and contract bills they cannot pay. At first glance, it appears that what Los Angeles needs is more fire, not better firemen. Buster fire fighters have no energy for squabbles, no time for flirting and no desire for unnecessary jim cracks.

Here is One Reader Who Does Not Want Social
Equality.
To the Editor of the APRO-AMERICAN:
In your November 17 issue I note that Dr. Du-Bois declares that Negroes who do not want social equality are asses and liars. It seems to me that this kind of teaching is somewhat contrary to God. Only really made the five races of mankind, but gave each of them a land.
I take the position that God brought us over here to be slaves a while, not so that we could amalgamate, but so that we could see the light of intelligence and help our fellowman. We have our doers and team and we have the doers to tell us to keep the race pure. How can we do this if we amalgamate? Already we have every color and creed.
Look at Alice Rhinelander and Jack Johnson. How did they come out with their social equality? How did they practically every Negro leader just as fast as the race can develop one. As soon as one of our race gets on the road to success he is ready to leave the race.

In your November 17 issue I note that Dr. DuBois declares that Negroes who do not want social equality are asses and liars. It seems to me that this kind of teaching is somewhat contrary to God's plan, who not only made the five races of mankind, but gave each of them a land. I take the position that God brought us over here to be saved a year ago, we could we could not, but that we could see the light of intelligence and help our fellowman. Now we have our doctors, lawyers, preachers and teachers and they tell us to keep the race pure. How can we do this if we amalgamate? Already we have done this. How at Alice Rhinelander and Jack Johnson. How did they come out with their social equality? This social equality question has handcapped practically every Negro leader just as fast as the race can develop one. As soon as one of them can reach the road to success he is ready to leave the race.

I'll love you till my heart the last drop drip,
I life's pulsations cease and be no more;
I'll love you till I've lost my earthly grip,
And soar through nature's cosmic, open door,
And should the gift of love in man endure,
The kind that permeates our frame on earth;
I'll seek my love, unless my soul's immure,
And love her till the end will be the birth.
But now in clay am I yet while I speak,
And near near the tree of life have trod;
But when I leave my earthly bode I'll seek,
To learn the truth about kind Nature's God.
And should my quest bear fruit I'll blaze the trail,
So there will be no weeping at the bar;
To meet their pilot by the evening star.

To the Editor or the AFO-AMERICAN.
The remains of W. James Dobson, who was born in Easton, Md., were brought to this city on the morning of the 13th of the present month, and buried in Asbury Cemetery, near this city. The following item from the Attleboro (Mass.) November 15, will tell a story worthy of record.
The memory of James W. Dobson, 66, who died Monday afternoon at Surdrys Hospital, is to live after him in benefactions which his savings are to provide for him. He was a gentle little colored man put away even as he suffered pain and fell into a condition which caused distressing circumstances, are to be divided as gifts in his memory through arrangements of his widow, Mrs. M. Boston, and his sister, Mrs. Georgia M. Boston, of Gallimore.
The Attleboro Y.M.C.A. to get $500 as an endowment fund to be used in providing yearly membership to the Surdrys Hospital, is to afford membership. The Surdrys Memorial Hospital is to get $100, and the A.M.E. Zion Church also gets $100. The arrangements for the gifts are being made of the surviving relatives by Beverly W. A. Briggs.
We delight to record such records, especially when made by Marylanders living in other sections of the country.

More About
Practical Journalism
I MUST CONFESS that an editorial in the current issue of the Norfolk Journal and Guide, in which it elaborates on an editorial to which this column took exceptions, leaves me still worried as to that journal's attitude towards such subjects as socialism, communism, and political and social idealism.
The fact is the current editorial not only confirms its first statement which it cannot substantiate, that "most of our columnists possess a mental and spiritual obsession of atheism, socialism, bolshevism, political and social idealism and academic radicalism not conformable with any practical living, to say the least of practical journalism, to possess an excusable statement which it cannot substantiate, that "after all, Mr. Jones and other columnists who feel the call to 'intellectual radicalism' get what they know about socialism in Europe or communism in Russia and China through propaganda sources, which are not altogether reliable."
"I again 'rise to remark' that in so far as this columnist is concerned, the Journal and Guide's editorial writer is wholly wrong, and I challenge him to point out any statement even facted upon a well-established news fact printed in at least a hundred of the leading dailies of this country.
I go further in this challenge and ask the Journal and Guide editorial writer to point out one single conclusion printed in this column during the past four years on any one of these subjects and say that he would not come to the same conclusion.
This columnist is not a communist, socialist, bolshevist nor political idealist. He has found some FACTS and POLICIES of the communists and the socialists which he believes fit his idea of a communist form, more than our American form of government, and he has had the guts to say. All of the ideas he has about life have been forged more or less out of the grim experiences which most Negroes have.
My first stirring revolt against the prevailing economic system in this country, and I regard it none the less patriotic to want a better system, came more than thirty years ago when as a lad I came near being mobbed on a South Carolina plantation because I questioned the honesty of a plantation system whereby my grandfather and his family of scout could produce 34 bales of cotton, some 700 bushels of corn, 17 grown hogs and yet come out each year in debt.
I knew that each one of those bales of cotton, when made into thread brought around $100 and that the actual price which he obeyed those wages which he drove to the plantation owner's concentration depot, was the equivalent of cutting off the tails and feet and tossing them back for nay.
And our present industrial system is but little removed from that plantation system—all the profits for a few and little for the hordes who grind them out of factory and bowls of the earth, and this too, shot through with a racial prejudice which says to every black skin, so far shalt thou go and no further. If kindness of mankind fails faced today, with all our vaunted Christianity, is academic, then I must confess I do not know what the Journal and Guide editor would call practical.
What I have said in these columns about socialism, communism and religion may be summed up about as follows:
There can be something better than our present system 'of extreme opulence on the one hand and socialism on the other. The fact is we are already moving towards a better day.
That the communist doctrine of a more equitable distribution of the product of human toil, the abolition of an idle class of aristocrats living on the toil of workers, and the common ownership of the basic resources upon which existence depends, is at least a better one than the one under which we live.
Twenty-five years ago it would have been academic radicalism for one to have advocated that big public service corporations like street railway companies should be put under supervision of a municipal commission, or for one to have had the temerity to say that a big railway could not charge whatever tariff it pleased. Twenty years from now the government would think that tariffs it shall charge but will be saying what it must pay its employees. That is certainly going towards socialism.
No doubt fifty years from now the big corporation president found paying himself $1,000,000 per year salary while some in the concern get less than $1,000, will be carted off to jail.
The most practical single influence we have in this world today is the influence of radicalism. There can be no change nor betterment of humanity without the radicalic influence. And what is radical today is but the practical of terrorism.
To my mind the real "obsession" about communism, socialism and some other doctrines of political and social idealism are expressed by those writers who go off into a spasm whenever a name is called without examining what it is.
The fact is, it has been propaganda which has made these names fearful in the American psychology. And the further fact is, that if the Journal and Guide names the same name closely the actual principles policy of the communists he would find them fighting for many of the things he is fighting for. Certainly their doctrine of absolute equality of opportunities for all races and their proven policy of prohibiting any show of racial prejudice in industry would be enough reason for at least serious consideration; even if some of their other policies did not matter. Nevertheless, although some of our American ideals and customs be by no means perfect, we could not damn the whole American system for that reason.
A Colored Woman and White Men
A Colored Woman and White Men
One Woman Tells Her Experiences with a Sexy White Lawyer, a Business Man, and Even a Preacher who Became Members of Her Interracial Committees.
Reprinted from the Crisis Magazine
The scene opens in a room in the Chamber of Commerce building an afternoon in April. A group of representative citizens, nine white and three colored, are gathered in their second meeting to improve educational conditions in our city by electing a Non-Partisan ticket for the school board.
There are five men and four women in the white group, each one a person of some importance or prominence in a certain field. Their names are well and favorably known in community affairs as well as in the business world. The agent is the male member in the colored group. The wife of a prominent physician and I are the Negro women present.
The Lawyer
The well-known attorney seated next to me makes interesting comments from time to time on various points under discussion. They are made in undertones to me, yet are loud enough to be heard by those nearby. He asks me a question about our schools; my reply is received with doubt, evidenced by a surprised look and a lift of the eyebrows.
The meeting closes and we gather in the two and three's before leaving the room. The attorney follows up his query to me by trying to disprove my answer. I like his interest in my race. I am serious and emphatic in my views and am certain I know whereof I speak.
I try to marshal facts that will be convincing to him, but before I have spoken a moment he glances quickly around, lowers his voice and interrupts "I'm perfectly crazy about you. I want you to come to my office. I is my telephone number. A card is offered to another glance around, a brisk handshake and he walks over one of the other groups before leaving the room.
I am too dazed for words. Surprise, resurrection, hot anger each struggle within me, all the fiercer because I know I have in no wise brought upon myself this affront. I am positive there is nothing in my appearance or actions that would lead any man to feel I would respond favorably to his advances. I am considered attractive—I admit the visage that greets me in my mirror is an agreeable one. But my manner is serious and conservative, often to the point of sternness, as those who know me most intimately will testify. Why then, does this man misjudge me?
Yet I realize I cannot afford even to look conscious. For the benefit of observers I place the card carefully in my pocketbook, nod to a white woman close by, chat for a moment with a group near the door while I wait for the other colored woman present. As we ride home together I do not mention the experience to her.
A Big Business Man
In like manner the Board of Directors of the local branch of a well-known charitable organization is made up of representative persons from both races. For two years I am an active member, interested in all the phases of the work. A new white member is elected. His purpose to me can not be misunderstood even though I try to ignore them. Then come telephone calls at my home. As soon as I recognize the speaker, I hang up the receiver. A dozen roses come anonymously delivered by an A.D.T. boy. I am morally certain I know the reason yet to return them to him would be making myself ridiculous since I have久
Several days later a chauffeur stops at my door and hands me a note soliciting an appointment and assuring me of safety in the arrangement. It is unsigned but too well I know the writer. I ask who sent it. The chauffeur's suggestive smile and knowing look as he 'confirms my belief, infuriates me. The primitive in my rushes to the surface. I tear the note into pieces and filing them in the chauffeur's face. I rage toward his employer on him because he and I are of one blood and his insult in my opinion is the greater. He slinks away from my door, enters his car and drives rapidly away.
The Preacher, Too
The Civic Bettermement Group in my city is a whole souled body. Such splendid white men and women, I have never before met. In fact they often put us, the colored members, to shame as they look such broad canard in their efforts to bring about a better understanding between the races.
Our deep sense of injustice ranks and makes us bitter, but they accept our parisian views good naturedly and try to show us the better, brighter side.
A minister has been the outstanding one among them. I serve on a committee with him and two others who make an important survey. The contact is pleasant. We exchange books twice.
We Meet His Wife
He invites my husband and me to a lecture at his church. We meet his wife and make an especially supportive attainment. I find her charming. Sometimes he brings to a meeting a clipping for me along a line we have discussed; again, he calls my attention to a magazine article that is worth while. I frankly enjoy knowing him.
When the group meets at my home he arrives early. Casual remarks pass, a current topic is mentioned, and then before I realize he is telling me how he has come to admire me and how much more he wants me to mean in his life.
A flood of horror rushes over me. Disgust and disappointment struggle for utterance. The deference and respect he had shown me were but masks for this dreadful thing. I saw the tear in my hair, and yet I sit dumb as if paralyzed. The bell rings and one by one the other members arrive. I am afterwards told that my meeting was one of the nest ever held. I can not remember one word that was uttered during the evening.

CHIPS FROM THE QUARRY
The Proofreader Talks
The lack of a genderless pronoun in the third person, singular number, or a pronoun which may stand for both genders, was not seriously felt in the early period, but it became more apparent three centuries ago, when the present authorized English version of the Bible was made and Shakespeare was writing, writers were satisfied to permit the masculine forms to be so used. The masculine forms used for the common gender, or the combined masculine and feminine, in such sentence as, "Whoosever will let him come," but the masculine forms were also used for what we now call the "neuter" gender; for example, "If the salt has lost his savor."
The form "it" had not been fully established as the exclusive neuter form even in Shakespeare's time, and the possessive form "it's" was not in Shakespeare's least) at all Shakespeare writes: "The hedge sparrow feed the cuckoo so long. That if it head bit off by it young." And even yet we have no objective (dative and accusative) form for "it's" and "it's" and "her" for "the" and "she."
So that our lack of a pronoun for the third person singular, common (or double) gender, is not our only lack, though it is the trouble. Not only is there a strong tendency to supply t's: lack by the erroneous plural forms, "they, their, them" ("Let everyone take turns, and slip into places where the neuter singular (its) is clearly demanded; for example, "Howard got the ball on their (its) 10-yard line." The present slipshocked (its) which reaches even our ex-presidents) is one of the results of so-called universal education which purports to teach everybody to write—even for publication; although, "every body his own car (or author) or lawyer" would be as sensible.

The Laughs Behind the News
By RALPH MATTHEWS
Thursday of this week is Thanksgiving. Day at the house is racking his brain trying to find a legitimate excuse to feel thankful.
A guy will feel mighty guilty going around looking joyful when the neighbors know he is just putting on a bluff.
Many a person will walk into a restaurant with a stuffed turkey appetite and a dog food package. Some will so broke that they will be ashamed to look a gobber in the face.
A man is in pretty bad shape when he can't even say cranberry sauce above a whiskey.
Thanksgiving is observed by a White House proclamation, but a president can we afford to because he has everybody in the country helping to pay his rent.
The President of the United States is supposed to be a servant of the people. He is the only man working with half his bosses out of jobs themselves.
There is some consolation in the belief that the Lord will provide, but He seems to take so much better care of some than He does of others.
The Pilgrims inaugurated Thanksgiving because their crops had turned out well. They were thankful because they had formed farming experts to spoil the harvest.
It has always been a mystery how they ever found anything to plant as Congressman, and not yet started sending out seeds to voters.
The Indians taught them how to plant corn, nowadays all the corn is handled by moonshiners.
The Pilgrim Fathers came to America so they could worship as they pleased and their sons are no longer stuck so they can drink as they please.
The forefathers settled here to satisfy their souls and the present generation is trying to find a way to satisfy their stomachs.
The Pilgrims were very honest people and the moderns would be honest too, but they can't afford it.
Three old women committed suicide last week because they would notugain their bills. Most people forget all about them and let their creditors commit suicide.
It's all right to be honest, but given up making business for the undertaker, that's running things into the ground.

Why Can't You Speak One Word of African?
By R. N. DETT
In Europe these questions were always sked the Hampton Choir;
1. How is it that if you are all Negroes, that you are not all the same color?
2. If you are the most backward element in America, how did you ever manage to get to Europe, and so many of you at one time?
3. Europe has been centuries acquiring her culture. How is it possible for Negroes to acquire so much culture in a negligible amount of time?
4. Whereabouts in America is Virginia, and do white and black marry there?
5. If white Americans really hate Negroes, as reported, why do crowds of them go to concerts by Negroes and applaud so enthusiastically?
6. If Negroes are such an unappreciated element in America, how can they in our cites under the 'vonable' monarch an 'American ambassadors and causals?'
7. In our countries, children of foreigners can speak the language of their parents. If you Negroes are really the descendants of Africans, they cannot speak even one word of African?
8. It is admitted that jazz is the Negro element in American music; then why doesn't the Hampon Chor 'sine jazz'?
9. It is not a church school, what need does have for a church religion in our country? In do you like our country?

Three Mothers Willing Even to Give their Children Away.
HOBOS HORN IN
Salvation Army Feeds 1.500 Daily..
BY RIENZI B. LEMUS
NEW YORK—The pall of unemployment misery, written about in the AFRO last week, thickens over, in, and about New York City.
No section has escaped; and if its victims are not increasing, certainly high pressure relief agencies, going about their work of success, have uncovered, and still uncover, more and more absolutely needy persons hourly. And they range from merely hungry to near evicted, and mothers seeking someone able to take over and rear their children.
Last week, the police, acting asensus takers, had accurately reported 31,000 heads of families with dependents absolute by the total population located by them total population over 41,000 family heads in absolute need of all sorts, and without work or wherewithal.
Normal Hobo Element
Serrally, complicating the relief disbursing is the normal hoboe element, which has flocked to America's greatest city to take advantage of organized succor. Police and railroad officials have contended to find someone to "silent" the灾情. The conferences, willing to cooperate toward prevention of such outside imposition, adjourned, admitting they did not know how to do it.
Up in Harlem, impostors sought to play mascots. Dr. Powell, of Abyssinian Church, stated from his pulpit last Sunday night while President Mordecki Johnson of Howard University sat on the platform, that Abysinna's relief directors had caught poolroom operators in the attempt to pose as neatly in order to get some of the money provided for the deserving.
Restriction of relief to married persons and persons with dependents continues to have its reactions that tend to make them feel much tougher, much worse. The problems of the unmarried, destitute man, the unattached, homeless girl, increase space. Charles Allison, probation officer in Harlem, says 300 women are in need of tenants for Christmas. They will be given each a suit of clothes and 25 cents. "Where will they go from there?" is a paramount and perplexing question. The social service secretary of Harlem Hospital tells of the homeless convalescents who have passed the stage of hospital confinement and must be discharged. What is to be done with them? She queries—without reply.
89-Year-Old Janitor Faces Eviction
The case of misery and destination encountered in colored Harlem by relief workers are sufficient to raise the question. At 89-year-old janitor and his wife face eviction from their cellar home. Their pay has ceased. Illness used up their savings, and they didn't have food to eat. The Urban League has purchased $3 to purchase food for them.
Evictions Held Up
The police are so busy investigating eviction orders that they may hardly perform the normal functions of their calling, as dispossess orders issued to them may be first submitted to the captain of the police in whose precinct the to be evicted person lives. Last Monday, the New York Jail held several eviction investigations, and the results were that many therefore were not evicted.
1500 Fed Daily
The 135th Street home of the Salvation Army continues to feed free. to 1500 a day. (Last week the number was 1200, less before last, 100.)
Ambassador Church which looks like it can own more or less needy at all times—continues to do so, assisted by the committee headed up by Alfred E. Smith, former New York governor. Largely directing this relief work is the useful 21-year-old son of the pastor, A. Clayton Powell, Jr. Young Dauke caused the Cotton Club where Duke used to eat cheeses to start, to feed fifty men.
Seabrook Prefers Cannibals to New Yorkers
NEW YORK, (ANP.) — The theory that cannibals in Africa were cruel and merciless was blasted here Tuesday night when the man who had just returned from Africa, declared that the Yafufo tribesmen were Kinder to him than the New Yorkers he met on the streets here and that he preyed on cannibal country to New Jersey.
Mr. Seabrook, who is the author of "The Magic Island," said that he went to Africa to obtain material for a new book on Voo-long among the natives. He stated:
"I landed a year ago at Grand Bassam on the Ivory Coast and went through forest and jungle on the borders of Liberia. I am camel and was at times carried in a palanquin by native porters.
"I found the native worship was Voodooism and the magic is called Ju Ju." I was in Timbucotow, where I found it was comparatively cool, and then back toward Lake Chad, where I found cannibal living on a farm. They lived on a farm only once a year at annual ritual and are really a very kindly people."
at breakfast several mornings.
Clothing Distributed
The Committee on Relief and Unemployment headed by young Father Shelton Bishop of St. Phillips parish got into action early last week. It has proved quite efficacious at complementary relief distribution; collecting and distributing clothing and shoes; and placing of unemployed family heads where they can work and earn the $3 per day furnished by the Charity Organization Society. Father Bishop's objective, however, is co-ordination of all colored Harlem's supplementary relief agencies. He wants Negroes who are themselves above the bread line to help finance
30 Women Sewing
The New York Urban League building is a center of diverse activities. Thirty-odd women with dependents sew on materials furnished by garments, carpets, machines and materials, on the top floor and who are paid with funds furnished by the Charity Aid Society and the Prosser Committee. They work with men, scrubbing and painting, under the same circumstances and auspices and conditions. On November 24, the Urban League placed in outside employment 75 married men, whom the Prosser Committee will finance wages for.

Spats and canes and furs may be seen along Seventh Avenue; but it's like the story of Nero fiddling while Rome burned. No different. No times of superficial prosperity belle the seething misery just below the surface.
Sold Busses, Drivers Must be Colored
NEW YORK. — John M. Drew, of Darby, Pennsylvania, prominent in the development of bus line Philadelphia, this week came to New York City expressly in order to present his check for $500 in payment of a life membership in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Drew, whose bus line interests were recently acquired by the Pennsylvania corporation that colored drivers be retained, took a leading part last spring in the fight against segregation of colored gold star station on another of the railroad. Mr. Drew at that time in communication with the N.A.A.C.P. and both personally wrote to the Secretary of War and helped establish a gold star station to send their protests.
The contact at that time established with the N.A.A.C.P. was strengthened by Mr. Drew's interest in campaigning for the N.A.A.C.P. against the Parker nomination and for the defeat of those Senators who voted to set Judge Parker on the Supreme Court bench. Then, a pioneer in the development of bus lines between his city and Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Railroad is reported to have paid a price running into six figures for his franchises and six figures for his franchises.

PRESIDENT SAYS HARLEM JURISTS WILL MAKE GOOD
NEW YORK. — Justice Leary, president of the municipal judges, in his office Friday, November 21, told the AFRO that Charles E. Toney and James S. Watson, newly elected judges in the Tenth Municipal Judiciary District are efficient and intelligent men and have all of the qualities necessary to make them outstanding justices.
Judge Watson has been assigned to the Tenth Judicial District Court at 125th Street and Fifth Avenue. The tenth district is the district which was created by the Francis E. Rivers bill which it possible the election of Toney and Watson.
Justice Leary was asked if he felt that these men would make good under existing conditions, namely, white lawyers, clients and white landlords in most instances who naturally would have prejudices: "Oh, yes, no one will pay any attention to people's prejudices.
"All people," said he, "have their prejudices, but these cases which come under Justice Toney and Watson, like other cases will be tried according to the law, government officials, the judge, testimony. Therefore, these men will not be siding as judged judges, but as jurors."
Irish-Jewish District
Justice Leary said further: "I am assigning Mr. Charles E. Toney to the First Municipal District, at Grant and Lafayette Street, made up entirely of Jew and Irish tenants, Jews and Irishmen who are landed owners." Wall Street court and is probably the hardest court in the city. "Mr. Toney's color was not considered at all in the assignment. I only took into consideration his ability, his length of service at the bar and other qualities which go to make up a good lawyer and which in turn should make him a very capable judge." "You no doubt know that Mr. Toney has several precedents set in the Supreme Court and the Appellate Court which are used as examples to try cases by. These precedents have been quoted in the law record of New York and favorable mention has been made in the law journal of New York City and State.
"Mr. Toney and Mr. Watson would do credit to any race and they are among the leading lawyers of. New York City. The colored people in my opinion need not be ashamed of two men with such rare ability. They should be proud of them." "Commissioner Ferdinand Q. Morton deserves great credit," said Justice Leary, "for their designation."

Are Tammany's Bosses Corrupt?
Kelly Miller Asks Anti-Tam-
many Orators to Prove that
New York is Badly Governed
or Unfair to Negroes.
Bn KELLY MILLER
I have heard about the bossism and corruption of Tammany ever since I was a barefoot boy in South Carolina. The charge gains as it grows by assertion and repetition. The Republican party got much of its dynamics for the last presidential election by accusing Al Smith of being under the evil influence of Tammany.
Mrs. Addle Hunton made a most eloquent and persuasive appeal for Senator Hastings of Delaware during the Senatorial campaign and pointed out to her hearers the danger of nationalizing Tammany's bailout of the other hand. My good friend Ferdinand Q. Morton and other influential Harlem dignitaries are persistent in their loud praise of Tammany for its many good deeds.
Racial and National Good is Prone Political Criterion
I have been in the habit of appraising political movements by the law of reason and good sense rather than by emotion and hysteria. I would support the Republican party or candidates in any contest if my judgment dictated that this was the best thing for racial and national good.
On the other hand, I would with equal readiness support their Democratic opposition for the same reason. I would not uphold the Old Party merely because of its ancient benefaction; nor eternally damn the other because of its historical malfections. In 1832 I will support any party that is dry and oppose any party that is wet.
In politics, I believe that Longfellow's advice is good: Trust no future; bury the past; act in the present. With such an attitude in the deeper realms of my mind, Mrs. Hamilton sets me to think on the merits and demerits of her condemnation of Tammany Hall, New York City.
Well Governed
Tammany undoubtedly has some bad spots in its record; at times it has doubtless been corrupt; but so has the Republican party. There have been several race riots in the remoter history of the state, but may or may not have been responsible. The metropolis seems to be about as well governed, with as few instances of scandal as Chicago, Philadelphia or San Francisco. II Governor Smith labored under Tammany control while giving to the state even Republicans to be a model for state governments, upon what foundation its alleged baleful influence rest? Why will seven million free American citizens allow themselves to be governed perpetually by a handful of grafters and why do they not, and vote the wicked regime out of power at election?
The Republican party or a coalition of parties gets control of the city once in a decade or so. Has such change of rule ever brought about any substantial improvement of the evils complained of? If so, why do the people invariably revert to their first love? Is there any city in the world of infant's name is Howard Morgan, the two months old son of the Holmes Mergans, Mrs. Morgan spelling the winter in English?

"I GOT A SLOW START BUT I STEP LIVELY NOW"
(A True Story From Life)
"When I was about eighteen years old I was not pretty to look at because my skin was dark, coarse and covered with ugly pimples. The boys never asked for dates and I used to sit all by myself and wish I could have lots of fellows to take me places and do things. I used to cry for hours at a time. When I went to church on Sunday I prayed that my skin would clear up. And those prayers were answered. One of the elderly sisters of my church took me in her arms one night after prayer meeting and told me how to be beautiful:
TOLD ME HOW TO HAVE BRIGHT, CLEAR, LIGHT SKIN
"This good woman proved a real friend. She told me that when she was young she also had the same skin troubles that were now wrecking my life. She told me to stop worrying and to go to the nearest drug store, get a box of genuine Black and White Ointment and Skin Soap, and use them according to directions. She also told me what wonderful results they had brought to her and I believed her because her skin was so pretty.
POPULARITY IS MINE AND I AM HAPPY
"Because of my sickly skin I got a slow start but I step lively now: No party is complete without me and my greatest trouble is to decide which fellow to give a date. You wouldn't think such a change was possible. I can hardly believe it myself: 'Almost from the first I realized that genuine Black and White Ointment and Soap was going to do for me what it has done and is doing for thousands of other girls. I cannot say enough words of praise for these two remarkable preparations.'
TRY THIS TREATMENT TODAY
First, cleanse your skin with genuine Black and White Skin Soap. Then follow with an application of genuine Black and White Ointment (complete instructions are printed on the box): The first application will amaze you, and as you continue to use this Black and White Skin Treatment, your skin will grow smoother, clearer, lighter and more beautiful every day: Try this treatment today!
The original and genuine Black and White Ointment and Skin Soap is made exclusively by the Black and White Company of Chicago
like size and complexities of its population any better governed than the American metropolis? New York City will remain under the dominance of Tammany as long as Tammany gives the municipality the kind of government that the vast majority of the people want and no longer. This is all that democracy can demand or expect.
Tammany Plays Fair
Coming now to the relation of Tammany and the Negro. The Negro's political and civil rights are guaranteed, and respected. New York has a law against discrimination in all public places of amusement and entertainment on account of race or color. Tammany awarded the Negro race the highest recognition of any great city until 1890, when a mayor instituted follow suit. There is a Civil Service Commissioner and two municipal judges appointed or elected under Tammany auspices. Tammany has superlative political genius. It believes that to the victor belong the spoils, so does the Republican party, notwithstanding its civil service pretensions. There is this whale of a difference: Tammany rewards the Negro on equal terms with the rest for his services. Tammany between the two and three thousand Negroes on the city payroll drawing between two and three million dollars.
The public schools are free for both attendance and teaching on part of all citizens without regard to race or color. The Negro enjoys the equal protection of the law. Tammany is wet; but so is the Republican party, both city and state. Tammany is the city or stake of New York or the welfare of the nation or the Negro race be bettered by substituting local Republican for Tammany rule?
Let Tammany's Critics be Plain and Specific
I am analyzing a situation, and not advocating any political organization. I would like, however, to show that brood of politicians who fatten on abuse of Tammany, point in plain, convincing terms, the basis of their condemnation.
I am sure that the organs of public opinion throughout the country are fattened on their columns to Mrs. Hunton and others of her way of thinking to answer this challenge. I certainly am ready, and I might say, willing to be convinced.

Brooklyn Title Co. Chief is ex-Porter
NEW YORK, (ANP) — Few people know that the huge sum of money loaned annually by a large title company in Brooklyn have to pass through the bureau, which paid back to the company. But one of the most responsible positions held by one of the race is that held by A. Johnson, well known in the borough of Brooklyn. Thirty years ago, Johnson was taken into the office by the president of the company, an ordinary porter. But his intelligence was so strong that he promoted him a promotion, first as a mail clerk, then in face of a storm of protest to the position of clerk. As the years rolled on, Johnson's integrity was unquestioned. He made good on the chance. "He made good on the opportunity and now is one of the most respected employees of the firm."

9 BANKERS,1,082 DIGIT PLAYERS, JAILED IN N.Y.
NEW YORK—In spite of the financial and unemployment depression, the two cent, three cent and nickel "numbers" bets of thousands of the domestic class are fattening the bank accounts of the backers who generally elude the law by about $150,000 daily. Records of the Special Sessions Court that tribunal was jammed daily last year, handling the cases of $21 men and 167 women who were found guilty on "numbers" charges. Only six of these however, were proved to be bankers and received indeterminate sentences in the penitentiary. The servant class are the heaviest players and they are the ones hardest hit by the law, which makes them equally guilty with the banker or walter.
"It is a bitter shame to bring the poor wretched unfortunate into court," said Assistant District Attorney James A. Wilson, "because the bankers protect them, and to catch the bankers and operators.
"Sending up some of these colored servant girls and workmen for-position of policy slips to my mind is as ridiculous as failing the widows and ministers who are trapped in a stock swindle and using the worthless stock in their possession as evidence against them."

The Gold Dust Twins,
Aunt Jemima, and Amos and
Aunt have piled up millions
for two business concerns
and two white men.
Aunt Jemima and the Gold Dust
Twins cook and wash dishes while
Amos and Andy broadcast subtle and
mischievous propaganda against Negro business. They essay
the world the cup and the cup,
the close up the New business and on the
tailal and fraternal life of the
race. They tell the world that when
it comes to business the Negro is a
huge joke and a successful failure.
Ames and Andy
Amos and Andy are piling up millions for themselves and building up tremendous public sentiment against the negro business agent, the Negro business agent, the ignorant, standardless, credulus, dischoc, braggadocio sham. They magnify, advertise, capitalize, and broadcast the crude effort of the most ignorant, making an indelible impression upon the minds of the children and young people of the white race. Millions of children are gtiting their first impressions of the Negro business agent. Those impressions will go with them through school an college, and the young people who will not be privileged to learn the truth or see an image of the Negro as a huge joke and a successful failure in all kinds of business.
See Him as Crook
They will see him as a crook in handling the funds entrusted to him by his own people in their fraternal organizations.
You have read the fable of the boys and the frogs. What was fun for the boys was death to the frogs. Amos and Andy might be getting FUN and getting FUN and getting FUN and allowing stones in ridicule, at the Negro, but they certainly are doing irreparable injury to Negro business.
Belving and Belltling
A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men, but to make a living and pile up millions by belying and belling a titration of the enemy, we overcome its mountains of ignorance, is a questionable occupation, and the victims—or benefactors, if you please—should not be left wrecked on by the enemy, but should be hulped by those who make their fortunes off of their ignorance.
Not Good for Masses
Then, too, the Amos and Andy
propaganda is not good for the Negro
and it is not good for the Negro's
impression of their own race and
develops the inferiority complex. The
masses at ignorance thought they
think for themselves; they hear the failures

The Negroes upon whom the government, philanthropists, and self-sacrificing parents, have spent millions of dollars to educate, are never afraid of killing. They must do typical "darky acts" to get in the movies and they are allowed on the air once in many moons, and not t, long at a time. The radio is a blessing from God to the human race.

The Negro is become its own interpreter, propagandist, and deliverer from organized prejudice.
Furthermore, the American people owe it to themselves to stop holding the Negro up to ridicule as an ignorant unresponsive people. The American people should abstain. Arrisa should tell and show the world what has happened in the lives of millions of black people who have had only sixty-five years under the transforming influence of a white supremacist society and not ridicule her own. The Negro is what America has allowed him to become.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, November 29, 1930
Since the ignorant Negro has made it possible for Amos and Andy to get rich (with their limited ability they could not have made fortunes ploying any other role) they should endow a Negro school for the education of their ignorant benefactors.
Amos and Andy have been on the air long enough. They have run out of gas. They cannot think up anything else LOV'D DOWN enough for the negro to do, on the air, and get away with it. They are attempting to rehash their story. It is a case of oil people warmed over. American people want something new. Amos and Andy haven't got it.
But there is another Negro in America. Do the American people want to hear him on the air? He keeps a clean cab, does not steal money from his organization, not a blaster, not a sham. He standards and high ideals and lives up to them. He should be given the same "break" on the air that Amos and Andy have had. If any traveler along the road where the races of men go by deserves a purse, he back, and the back, it is that Negro who, in spite of handcaws, ridicule, boycots, and mischievous propaganda, proves by his life and his service that "A man's a man, for a that, and a that," is time for Amos and Andy to get off the air and engage in the high calling of helping educate their important benefactors.

Mr. Poindexter was generous with his gifts, which consisted of the following: "The Fairest of Malden is She," "Tread Softly because you Tread on My Dream." "Galloping, Galloping," and "The Huntman, whispering for a few minutes," Mr. Poindexter's voice is pleasing and he has a good stage presence.

NEW YORK —For the first time at any formal concert hall in America, a Negro vocal teacher will present a pupil, next Wednesday night, December 3, at Stainway Hall, 113 West 57th Street, where Thomas Richmond, bartonte pupil of Wilson Lamb, will make his debut. Critics from the Metropolitan dailies will be present.
Mr Richmond sang over radio station WAAM in Newark, N.J., for one year, and was known as the Hosier Baritone. He will he accompanied Wednesday night by Grace Eleanor Alliston. On the following evening he will be the guest artist the Queensboro Symphony Orchestra.
Presented First Pupil
Mr. Lamb at Aeolian Hall in 1923, was the first to present at a formal hall a Negro pupil entirely trained by a Negro teacher. The pupil was named Bernardine Mason, has appeared at Barnedine Mason, has appeared at Town Hall and Carnegie Hall, and will return to Town Hall on the evening of March 30. Incidentally, Mr. Richmond will be fifth pupil of Mr. Lamb to appear at Barnedine Mason only. Quite a number of Mr. Lamb's many pupils are white.
Superlative Recommendation
Mr. Richmond began his studies with Mr. Lamb, who is also a concert bartone, two years ago when he came from New York to work at the N.J. He was recommended to the colored teacher by a talented pupil of Janero Curci, brother-in-law of the famous operatic singer, Gall Curci. His debut Wednesday night will be the realization of his life-long dream and struggle to become a concert artist. At the age of nine he sang on street corners in the city, and in town, and was a member of the boys choir at the Catholic church. He ran away-from home at the age of 15 to travel with a minstrel show to California, and later he was employed in a circus side show by Fred Egner.
Curative Vocals
A phenomenal phase of Mr. Richmond's career is the manner in which he has successfully overcome the odds of a child's special teaching methods of Mr. Lomb. During the World War the singer saw service abroad with the aviation corps, and was laid up in a hospital for nine months in Boston, Massachusetts, and capitalized these helpless months by reading and studying the lives of the great music masters.
Mr. Lamb was born in Richmond, Va., reared in Boston Mass. His conservatory, subsequently he was tutored at least four private vocal teachers during a period of twelve years. He has been teaching in New Jersey for the past 16 years. His music has been located in the Metropolitan Building, 210 Main Street, Orange, N.J.
The Wilson-Lamb Male Singers, a named after their Negro teacher, and was formed ten years ago.
Mr. Lamb was the first one to introduce 100-voiced Negro choirs in New Jersey, and is the founder of an educational body for the promotion of musical culture.

It's Nobody's Business
THANKSGIVING
My heart gives thanks for many things:
I know not how to name them all.
My soul is free from frots and stings,
My mind from creed and doctrine's thrall.
For sun and stars and showers and streams,
For work, and hope and rest and play,
For empty moments given to dreams
For these my heart gives thanks today.

Facs for Your Notebook
Here is an earful of information that will stall, you in good stead when you get in the Baltimore city jail for some misdemeanor or other. It comes at the end of the prisoner's stay. The food is pretty bad stuff for the general prisoners. There is other food, however, which is displayed when committees and visitors call, but the prisoners don't get any of the visitors are shown along the first tier where the white prisoners are kept. They see swell blanks, white sheets and clean bunks. On the seasheets and not so clean bunks, and on the third where the "bums" are kept, there are no blankets, no sheets and plenty of dirt. The prisoners swipe burial cots of the work-beds. Visitors never get that high. In the workshop there are several "stool pigeons" who get the best break on making cigarettes, cakes, or overers when the head guard is out. They are hated, ore than the uards themselves. At night a Jooshy vender passes through the tiers selling cigarettes, cakes, or overers. Those cakes, not cigarettes have to pay his price, they can't get out.

"He Had Too Much Appetite"
One of those things that' burns a guy up an' knocks him cold took in a lunch room the other night.
A disheveled and ill-kempt fellow walked in, ordered a 'up of coffee and a 'ou' and in ainger manner manners looked at him.
Looking about the place as he slipped, he suddenly left his stool, rushed across the room where an elderly crippl' was eating like a dog, words took the old man's platter away from him and began to eat its contents himself.
The proprietor in trying to restore order we ordered to mind his own that old man down the street and he met me on the street and two men he looked like a cripple and hungry and, although I had only twenty cents to my name, I decided to split with him, so I slipped him a dime deciding to make it myself on a cup of juice and a can in here whom do I "business by the younger man, but inter he explained."

"Malinida," the play produced last season at the Lincoln Theatre in Harlem and later at the Triangle in the Village by Kathleen Kirkwood, will shortly be seen at the Cherry Hill Theater. The story of "Malinida" was written by an Irish-Negro named Dennis Donahue. Frank Bryd described it as a musical comedy burdened with a plot. "The one bit which attracted favorable mention from the critics was a song and dance number called "Jungle Rose" in which the lovely Mae Berkeley secured a personal hit. This same Mae Berkeley under the name of Princess Duhanna did a scorchy dance at the swank Country Club at 58th Street after the show closed.

The sensation of the week has been the announcement that the Dunbar Theatre will reopen in the near future.
Almost instantaneously, on receipt of this news, word reached the desk that the opening production will be Mr. Will Morrisse's piece, *Hot Rhythm*, which is at present in the Broadway engagement, after a short openway engagement, to when it will open in this city the date has not been, as yet, set.
Dance Halls Lagging
Of the cabaret, and dance halls in this city, I know and have been able to find out only ones doing anything near what is be called a successful business art.
Golden Dawn and Sam Harris place among cabarets, and the Olympia and the Strand among dance halls. Of course, there might be others.
Books Received

At the Royal
Out of that old story, "Manslaughter," which was turned into a fine silent picture a number of years back, with Gloria Swanson in the role. The picture has been made, with Claudia Colbert and Frederic March giving clever performances in the leading roles. It was on view at the Royal first the day of the week Eddie Rotter in a talking picture version of what: was one of the most successful of all Florenz Ziegfeld's stage productions, "Whoopee." will be the attraction, the whoopee will be to be entertaining and amusing dialogue film. Talkies at Standard. For some months the announcement that John Gibson was going to be the head of the company seemed to all local members of the critical fraternity, bogus balladry. But now that Mr. Gibson has kept his word there is nothing left for us to do, but announce the attraction, and it is Stephen Wright in "Swing High."
After a long absence Sandy Bunny returns to the Standard in a bilaboal (as they call musical consider of this type) entitled *Brown in Brooks*. He is assisted by Brooks, Shorty Brown, Grace Wilson, Hilda Perilino and Alma Twain because I refused to buy from their planes intended for the Abbasian. Also, I am not broke and to prove his contention, he showed a draft on the Bank of Abysina.
"I came back to New York to recover from the results of a snatch. I intend to take my daughter home when I go back to Abysina."
We looked rather skeptical at hearing this, so he let us glance at his passport, which was uncensored and he will go, but we have our doubts.

PEVA JESSVE
S.I.SAT in the Mansfield Theatre in New York City and watched Richard B. Harrison respond to curtain call after curtain call in recognition of a stiffness portrait of the most difficult act in the annals of the theatre, I could not suppress a feeling of superiority to the rest of the applauding crowd, for I alone of the many thousands who have been comforted and inspired by the tenness and majesty of "De Lawd"—emotions called forth not "ay" word or line or situation, but by something within the man himself. I was the secret of this spiritual radiance. Virtues Not Assumed. Although in life real life is one not required or expected to conform to the stage character rule and privilege to "Assume" virtue if you have not, "the renikable effectiveness of Richard B. Harrison as the divine Creator of world reveals a perseverance."
Sobely is more astonished at his success that "De Lawd" himself. With modestly more in keeping with the broad philosophy and tender humor of the Broadway sensation differs not one whit from the simple wisdom and kindly wit with which he regaled face, 7 and students alike at a theater down in Oklahoma some ten years ago. Lores Holes Things Famous on Concert stage, travelled, exponent of Shakespeare, profound student of human nature, he was ousted from the chum for comparative obscurity. His reply was always the same: "Child I am not missing a thing; this is the only real life, here close to nature to people, am having the chance to see the world." And he undoubtedly was, Happiness can not be faked, and he simply radiated it. Unquestionably the most erudite person on the way to the massacring. Honors bored him, pretensions he would not tolerate, and when not busy instructing the students in dramatics, he spent long hours roaming the countryside, getting with the farmers along the way.
Scholar that he was, he became as one of them, partook of their simple life and was received as friend an 'brother by the native Oklahomaan, commonly realized for the 'native' is wary of outsiders, clamish and unduly sensitive. Here again Richard Harrison's similar man Richards Creek Indian romantic figure in the tribal life of Oklahoma, and owning and controlling the entire townsite of Richardsville, Oklahoma, bestowed upon Harrison of the greatest honors conferred by the governor, Mr. Harrison regards this one of the highest distinctions he ever received.

It is not wise to credit a man with too many virtues test the world doubt all of them, but in this case an exception must be allowed to distinguish truth that as I watched the play unfold I found myself saying: "If that isn't just like Mr. Harrison to say that." Mr. Harrison's associates will tell you that it is impossible to get away with the absurd and moreover he discourages such a discussion. He displayed this same virtue as "De Lawd" in the scene where Noah's sons (hope I am not my gible mixed), were tiking about Noah behind his back out on the sea. Mess of Firmament

Mr. Harrison has an overweening sense of humor and takes no situation seriously enough to worry over. He finds laugh where others fail to find a smile, is intensely human and caring, and, though when justified, will admit that a certain person is "an ornery cuss . . . but," and his voice will soften supplicantly, "like him just the same. He is a man who can not, be disturbed by externals.

"I have been everything but 'scalped', but I feel fortunate in not having been 'scalped' by the court. Nevertheless he does not fail to realize the spiritual responsibility of impersonating the God of Christendom and the cast declare that the realism of his portrayal grows daily. Looking over the many years leading up to the present, Mr. Harrison wasted, not an experience but has helped fit him for the exalted place which he has finally reached—a place of experience, depth of understanding and patience that only age can supply.

Dorothy Richardson at Shaw
RALEIGH, N.C. As the closing feature of Founders's Day, November 11, she visited the recitalic Mrs. Dorothy Richardson, of Alton, Mass., a new contralto on her first tour of the South. She is solist of the community church in Alton, where she and she has a rich voice-owc which she has excellent control.
Believe it or not, but the announcer and the mike will give you the full swing by swing description of the dances done by the collegians, breakfast, lunch, dinner and midnight Thanksgiving on next week's program.
The occasion for such a large array of dances is that the so-called football classic will be held there.
Before we go further, let me inform you that this program come to you through Negro newspaper, over their circulation hookup of Station A-F-R-O, the Voice of news in Baltimore. Levi H. Jolley, alias the Shadow, is the announcer.
Preparations are being completed to have a special radio program to broadcast the affair, who is sponsoring the affair, none other than the city's sisters of health, the graduating class of the Provident Hospital. The affair is being given to obtain funds for the hospital, a specific amount of which half has been paid.
Of course, you know the girls have no income and no other means of raising the dough unless they beg, and is it safe to assume that everybody should be on hand on December 2, at the Penn Hotel.
From what my spies report, that little affair known as the battle of music held at the New Albert Hall, which Percy Glascoe's orchestra was declared winner will cause a big eruption that volcano of dissatisfaction which is and has been existing in musical circle: for some time.
There have been several complaints of the complaints. Many of the complaints have come directly from followers of the losing orchestras while the others have been whispered around by the members of the orchestra. But the crux of the matter is this—the Ambassadors feel as though they can play with more feeling, harmony and tempo than Percy's Boys and then as a sort of ebuthorn to their string quartet with "Tee" Loggins is the best in the state, barring none, even the Oafs.
So you can judge for yourself, but for me they are both good outfits. I admit that it is hard to be dehonored as Kings of Jazz after ripping the local musical award for three years. Ambassadors won't stand for it willingly. From the angle of a dancer, these Sunday night basketball affairs are just the cat's whiskers. For the price of fifty cent one can see a hot basketball game and dance until the wee woe hour ends. But the Dixie Dion's orchestra is hitting things, by the first of the month they will be just too hot.

Concluding Installment
As sensitive to his moods as a delicately balanced, weatherisve are to the caprices o. the wind, however faint. Toto at once knew that Carl was preoccupied. He came in, kissed her with unprecedented abstraction, and seated himself by a window which faced the west where the sun was sinking in a blaze of red-gold. The woman continued her preparations for supper, but her eyes were upon Carl with a look that held more than a little fear. She had noticed the letter which he still held in his hand, and her quick mind at once connected it with his strange mood.
The Banker's Letter
Sighing deeply, Carl finally tore open the banker's letter. For a few minutes his eyes were uncomprehending as they travelled slowly down the street, then himself to alertness with a daffert effect. He read:
Dear Boy:
I have been absent from the city on my usual trip to Europe, which just will doubble explain my delay in answering your letter. The new teacher has shocked me more deeply than I can tell, and I assure you that you have my deepest sympathy in your great loss. However, those things are a part of life and you must be brave, for they would have had it so. Your experiences of the past months must have been very painful. I am glad that you have taken the course of which you tell me, as no man ever need be ashamed to do honest labor, regardless of how humiliated you may feel than glad that I find myself in a position to alleviate your distress.
In regards to your request for a position in my bank, be advised that one will be waiting for you, as soon as you return to Chicago. I have followed you through college and in this city through college and in any ordinary interest, and I feel that you are deserving of the position of trust which I intend give you. The pay will be good, but the opportunity which you will have for quick advancement will doubless interest you more. If you need money or any kind of please wire me at once. If not, write me immediately when you plan to return.
Yours sincerely, ANTON BIGAL
Carl read and re-read the banker's letter several times. His feelings were a confused mixture of hope and despair. Here was the chance for which he had worked and studied the better part of his life. Anton Bigal was the most powerful financial figure of his race in Chicago, which meant that he was paramount in such affairs in the whole country. With him back of a man, success was assured. Carl's heart beat wildly at the thought of what the banker's cordiality implied. It meant that Bigal would put him in the theory of climbing to the dizzy pinnacles of which he had dreamed for so many years.
But could he accept the offer? Could he leave Toto? He cast around in his mind for an answer but could find none. He knew that what Hot-shot had said was true; he could not take Toto to Chicago with him. And yet, he could not bear the thought of leaving her. What could he do?
He was awakened from his deep abstraction by the rapid click of a horse approaching. Toto ran out to him, and in a moment reentered. "Ole boss man want to talk to you, honey," she told Carl worlidly. The youth arose at once, a little glad of the interruption which would
THE AFRO-AMERICAN
take his mind away from his baffling problem.
The Colonel's Surprise
Colonel Barre sat easily on his resi-
tive horse, facing the youth. A mysterious, pleased smile was on his
"What you and Toto don't, Son!" he asked kindly.
Toto spoke from Carl's side. "Nothin' in' we can't stop for you, Colonel."
"You're just like your ma—full of flattery," the old man grinned.
"She's telling you right, Colonel, Carl affirmed.
"Well, I want you two to get on your horse and ride right up to the house. I got a little surprise for you. I wasn't going to tell you to you unnaturally, I was to reckon," he said, with a significant glance at the letter which Carl still held in his hand. "I hadn't better put it off." He wheeled his horse with a sure hand, and called back; "I'll be waiting for you young'uns. Don't be long!"
Carl was puzzled. He turned to Toto. "Wonder what he wants with me—with us?" he pondered. "Well, th' bew' way find out is to go up on there, honey!" Toto laughed, something had been broken to break the tension. "You get your horse while I put on some decent duds." Carl quickly saddled his splendid sorrel. Laughing, and more than a little excited, Toto clambered up behind him, refusing his aid. Through the woods they went along at a rapid pace. When they passed the cabins by the cotton field, many of the workers called cheers of hearty merriment aloft at Toto's somewhat meracious method of riding.
Carl felt a heartening glow surge through him at this evidence of the liking by the workers had for him. By now he understood them—knew certainly that theirs were not futtle, barren lives—but were full to overflowing with genuine, rich meaning. He felt something given to him. He felt the well ordered immeasurement of the plantation; and he felt his heart lighten at the thought of his part in it. Here was life in the raw. Here was civilization shorn of all its false glitter and useless glamour. Here nature rewarded those who tended the soil, with food and shelter—and happiness; and after all, what more was there in life? Carl could feel the firm grasp of Tho's strong hands clinging to his breath and the warmth of her breath close against his neck sent little thrills of possessive pleasure over him. She was his, and he evoked in the thought.
The memory of the banker's letter came again to him as he neared Colonel Barre's mansion. He had to make his choice, he reflected, with something of the doubt and worry of the past hour creeping into his mind again. In spite of his position on the plantation, the place was still just a backwoods farm. If he stayed he might look forward only to the prospect of daily, unremitting toil, with no splendid reward, such as his northern career might bring, in the offing. Here he could never hope
for anything which might cause him to hold his head high with the consciousness of his position among men. As Hotshot had said, he would be bogged down.
He had no further time for such thoughts, as his horse was carrying them across the barnyard toward Colonel Barre, who stood waiting for them, his white mane blowing in the gentle evening breeze.
"You made pretty good time, boy," the old man commended. "I reckon that was 'cause that that sorrel you're riding was anxious to get rid of that heavy load he's carrying on his rear end!" The colonel roared at his joke, and Toto made him laugh to increase his mirth. Then he sobered. "You all git down and come with me a piece," he commanded.
The Bungalow
Obediently, Carl slid off his horse and caught Toto in his arms as she followed him to the ground. With an arm affectionately around each of them, the colonel led them off up the seldom used path which led to the cabin that Carl had occupied when he first came to the plantation. When they had almost reached the place, the old man halted them impressively.
"Close your eyes and don't open them till I give you the word," he commanded mysteriously. Obediently the two young folks closed their eyes, and guided by the colonel's hand followed him for a few paces. He halted. "Now open your eyes, and see what you see!" ordered.
Standing before them, brave in its fresh green paint, white paint, there was a neat little bungalow in a carriage Carl's old shack had been. Luxurious sod had been placed around the small building, and back of it was a chicken house, with a newly wired fence surrounding it.
Toto gave a cry of delighted surprise, and Carl stood staring with uncomprehending eyes. The colonel was enjoying himself hugely. "Come on inside!" he bade them, with a grand wave of his hand. Wordlessly the two followed him into the little house.
It was completely furnished, even to a studio sized nook in the front of the house. There were small, quiet rugs on the shining floors, and everything which might have made the place attractive was in its proper place, new and gleaming. Carl found himself amazed that the colonel would have had the good taste to have furnished the place so tastefully.
"How you all like it, eh?" the colonel asked, grinning like a pleased child. "It's simply—simply—Oh, it's wonderful!" Toto cried happily. But the old man's eyes were upon Carl.
"This is your place, son," he said kindly. "I built it because I don't want you down in the woods like common-well, how do you like it, boy?" Carl felt his eyes burn, and with difficulty withheld tears, so swift and sudden the curse of the emotion gripped him. He tried to tell himself that he was a sentimental fool to be so affected, by this white man's gift, but his eyes misted, and his voice grew husky. "Why-why, colonei," he said with difficulty, "I can't tell you-how much this affect: me. I—" The old man came to his side and gripped his shoulder. His voice was thick when he spoke. "Don't try to son," he managed. "Td rather do for you than anyone in the world." Suddenly he be backed away and drawing out his huge red handkerchief, blew his eyes, prodigiously. "Well, you younguns to play as keeping house," he told them to a twisted smile. "Mandy'll just about burn down下h' house if I'm late for supper." Quickly he turned and left the room.
Carl stood speechless in the middle of the floor. Toto came up to him, and put her arms around him gently, "But it fine?" she cooed softly, "Now we got a swell house, and we gone 'lift' like they in do books-

Advice to Girls
Julia O'Jerome
This week our letter comes from Houston, Texas, and the writer is frank, though not very pleasant.
My dear Mrs. Jerome:
At the age of eighteen my parents married me off to a man of four feet and a half. A wedding it was a "good match," so everyone said, for I was only the daughter of a day laborer. I wanted to please my parents, and I would probably die long before I did and then I would have his money and be able to do as pleased.
That was twenty years ago and my husband is as strong today as he was when I married him indeed. I am in words, worth it. I have been cheated out of my share of the world's happiness and I feel very resentful about it, too. My husband has even met me because for divorce and share I have canned I would be cut off without a
I am perfectly miserable when I think of all the wonderful times I've missed. he never was miserable until he tried to him, in fact, because I've always been planning for the time when I would be free. I often believe I'm going crazy. What shall I do?
MISERABLE WIFE
Get onto yourself, my dear. You have been living in your imagination too much. Your dead is full of false illusions. In the first place you assume that you have been missing a lot of wonderful things. It hadn't married this man you would have married some other, perhaps worse. Every day you tread in life. A successful person is one who has learned to compromise gracefully; who does not expect too much of others; and who is always willing to do more than his or her share in both business or domestic relationships. Much of your misery comes from self-disgust. Parents have often put a good wife or a good boy out way out now for you to become one. Happiness lies in your own home if you will have the wisdom to take it.
happy ever after!"
a Moment of Happiness
Carl kissed her, quickly, with savage pressure. Then she squirmed out of his arms and started running from room to room, exclaiming, in childish glee over her new possessions. Limply Carl sank into a chair. In his hand he still held Anton Bigal's letter. Now he raised it, and looked at it dully. Then his eyes traveled around the quiet charm of the new little house slowly, taking in small refinements which he had not before noticed. Outside, the soft dusk was falling. From the barnyard at the big house came the soft lowing of the cart and the shrill whimming of hats, eager for their dinner. Two laughing voices passed in the shadow. One of them said: "Thatas Carl's man whose dee Kunnel spent so much money buildin' He she do like Carl."
And the other voice responded:
'He sho' do. And hit sho' was funny de way everybody on de place known 'bout hit 'cetlin 'cai n' Total Won't dey be tickled?'
A sort of warmth came in the boy's numbed heart. In the tones and words of the two simple peasants there had been no hint of jealousy; only a rejoicing that one soft, was going to be pleasantly surprised.
Through the opened window by which the soft, crisp winds of early fall swept with the fragrance of the fields and trees. In the sky the first few stars of evening gleamed uncertainly. Drifting on the breeze came the poignant moan of a banjo, and the plaintive sob of a singing voice:
'De white folks laugh
But I'e happy jes' de same . . .
Let de white folks laugh
I'e happy jes' de same . . .
Dey don' know what make me happy

Toto came and perched on the arm of the chair, which Carl sat. She snugged her head on his shoulder and asked: "What's wrong, honey? Why do you act so sad?" Carl smiled. "How would you like to go up north?" countered. The woman shivered, artificially "Brrr! No, I will not this chick. I'd plum freeze to death, honey-lamb! We're not leavin' here, are we?" Carl shrugged his shoulders and sighed deeply. Before he could answer, Toto sprang up and seized his hand. "Come on in th' bedroom, honey boy," she commanded, rolling her eyes audaciously. old boss marx done put the first feather mattress on her ever saw. "Carl slowly arose and followed the alluring woman into the bedroom. As he walked he teore Anton Bigal's letter into tiny pieces, and with a sardonic smile, cast them into the newly built fireplace. Although she was in front of him, Toto knew and done. She laughed and there was the ring of smoke on her laurage.
From the bedroom her voice floated back to Carl as he entered its door: "honey-lamb. if there's anything better than a deep water."

SAGGITTARIUS, The Archer (Continued from last week)
By PHENOMENA
This Character Analysis and Forecast applies to persons born in the sign of Sagittarius, between November 22nd and December 21st.
During the next seven days, starting with November 29th and ending with December 5th, persons born under this influence will experience more real happiness and contentment than at any time during the entire year
```markdown
```
I stated last week that this
week's analysis would deal with the Love Nature, marriage and children for those born under this influence. The women of this sign have a genuine fondness for home life and they are considered excellent mothers, ruling their children with an iron gentleman's touch. The children understand right from wrong and without the use of the red.
These women are natural lovers and when disappointed in affairs of the heart immediately become embittered toward the person responsible for their heartaches.
Women born in this sign should be very careful in selecting a life mate, they should endeavour to carry a happy life to the same intellectual and spiritual plane as themselves.
It is best for the women of Saggittarius to marry a man born in either one of the following signs, selection to be made in order named, GEMINI, LEO and LIBRA. It is possible also for them to marry happily with a man born in their own sign, umoil who loves offspring who would not be vigorous or healthy. The love nature of the average Saggittarius subject is constant, warm and affectionate and at all times sincere, therefore these wonderful people make excellent husbands and wives when properly mated.
The best season for Saggittartars to marry is in the late spring of the year, and especially around the spring Equinox.
The very life, health and happiness of these people largely depend upon being kept active, even after they are sufficient, wealth to support themselves in declining years, if not active they become moody, melancholy and despondent, which in turn reacts upon their mind and body, undermines health and terminates in rapid decline.
Saggittartars persons to attain best financial results, health and happiness should reside in the eastern part of the United States.
Persons born in this sign are usually in possession of good health, vigor and strength well into the latter years of their life, and possess much genuine courage which stands them in good stead when called upon in any emergency.
NOTE: Next Week SAGGITTARIUS will be continued, dealing with LUCKY DAYS, NUMERALS, Proper Investments, etc.
Dummy in Bridge Shouldn't Loaf
By R. W. TALIAFERRO
BRIDGE ETIQUETTE
Good Form, in Bridge, includes the manner in which Dummy lays down his cards. Put them down in parallel rows pointing to the Declarer, each suit separately and arranged in sequence, i.e. from ace to deuce, with the smallest cards towards the Declarer. Alternate the black and read suits and place the TRUMP suit on Declarer's LEFT.
After you have done this, keep your fingers out of the game but keep your hand venting revokes, by preventing your partner from concealing tricks, by calling attention to wrong adverse leads or cards exposed by adversaries, you can often save contract and game your side, provide your side and other players, not think that just because you are Dummy, you are out of the game for that hand. Keep your seat and play the game. You are as much a part of it as Declarer, and your cooperation, in so far as it is allowed by the laws, is if you and your partner to make most out of the combined hands.
But, remember the instant you look at any- of the players' hands you touch, your rights as a player and will know Dummy in the real sense of the word.
How to Locate a Bad Tube
RADIO HINTS
Occasionally, a microphonic tube is encountered. After the receiver has been turned on an adjuster, the microphonic tube is no longer adjustable which rises 1 pitch and volume until it drowses out reception.
Such a howl is due to a microphonic tube and is caused by a vibration which usually a detector tube of the hard type.
To determine which tube is giving the trouble, gently grasp the tubes on the howl and the howl is distinctly audible. When the microphonic tube is grasped, the howl will decrease or cease entirely, only to again become audible when the howl and the exchange places in the set. Though the tube may have been microphonic as a detector, it will usually operate fictoriously as an other defect, including an other defect exists.
Black Caliph of Bagdad Ruled The Mightiest Empire 1,000 Years B.C.
Descendant of Mohamet and Shah of Persia, became known in literature as the greatest singer of songs. Rogers Tells of a $6,000,000. wedding where pearls were thrown instead of rice and of a palace which held 4,000 white enunchs and 22,000 rugs. A life-sized tree of gold and silver stood in the garden.
A
IN the true story off Ibrahim Al-Mahdi we enter the enchanted atmosphere of the Arabian Nights' Entertainment. Ibrahim was the greatest singer of Islam a the time when he Mohammed Empire was at the height of its splendor.
By J. A. ROGERS
As if this were not fortunate enough he was as high-bo- as any human being of that period cou- have been. He was a son of the Caliph, or Emperor Mahdi which means that he was regarded almost as a god by the common people. Added to this he was a friend descendant the great Mohnet, being the great-grandson. At that time the Mohammedan Empire was the greatest on earth. It stretched from India to the Atlantic as far as Spain, and included most of the territory on both shores of the Mediterranean. The wealth and the magnificence of the Caliphs excelling anything that abelah Feda, Arab historian, pictures the reception of the Greek ambassador by the Caliph Moktaden thus:
7.000 Eunuchs
"The Caliph's army, horse and foot, was under arms—160,000 men. His state officers and favorite slaves stood near him in glorious apparel, their belts glittering with gold and gems. Nearby there stood two yacht launches, white and 3,000 black. The porters or doorkeepers of the imperial palace were 700. Barges and boats, extraordinarily magnificent in decoration, flocated on the Tigris.
"The palace was not less splendid. It was hung about with 38,000 pieces of tapestry, 12,000 whereof were silk, embroidered with gold and carpets adorned the floors; a hundred lions were led forth, a keeper beside each.
"Among other rarities was a tree of gold and silver spreading itself in eighteen branches whereon and upon the twigs of which sat birds wrought of the same prefects. There was a machine, when machinery was put in motion the birds warbled as though they were alive."
Add to this picture, halls of the rarest marble, and wood-work; bronzes and statues; fragrant flowers; murmuring fountains; secret pavilions and perfumed retreats; gather with thrones of great lords, minstrels, poets, seals, and harbors of the most faithful women of the most empire. But need one say more than that ibrahim's half brother, on his father's side, was no other than the great Haroun al-Raschid, hero of the Arabian Nights' Entr. saliment-
White Cannibals
Is it any wonder also that the white barbarians of Northern Europe, who were at that time practicing cannibalism, and whose kings lived in Indians in wigwams, were later attracted to the East in the hope of plunder? Later Ibrahim himself came to the throne. Ibn Khalilikan, Arab historian (1211-1284 A.D.) says: "This prince had great talent as a singer and an able band on music instrumentry. He was also an angelic companion at parties of pleasure. Being of dark complexion which he inherited from his mother, Shikla or Shakla—who was a Negro—received the name At-Thinnin (the dragon).
"Brahim was a man of great merit and a perfect scholar possessed of an open heart and a generous hand; his like had never been seen among the sons of the Calphus, none of whom spoke with more propriety and elegance or composed verses with greater ability.
"He was proclaimed, Calph at Bagadad . . . under the title of Al-Mubarak—The Blessed." (Biological Dictionaries, translation Baron MacGuckin de Kinsley, Vol. I, p. 17.)

Shikha was the daughter of Shah Efrend, a king of Southern Persia, a region that is still largely Negroid. Mansour, the much-medaned conqueror, making war on Efrend, carried off Shikha, and taking her to his harem, gave her to his favorite wife, Monayah, as attendant.
One evening at an entertainment given only for members of the royal family, Al Mahd, the heir, throne, saw the beautiful Shikha. He fell in love with her at once and his father for her freedom. A few days later he made her a favorite wife.
Not long after Ibrahim was born his father Al Mahd came to the throne.
A careful education was given the young prince in science, poetry, dialectics, and all of the best that Moslem culture had to offer. It was music, and especially the delight of Ibrahim, who enjoyed his delight, howw was considered an occupation fit only for slaves and others of low estate. For one of royal blood to be a public singer was unthinkable. But Ibrahim's gift was too great to be stifled by family pride. People were talking about something remarkable. Bagdad and other parts of the empire. At last even his father was won over and gave him permission to give concerts on condition that only members of the royal family and the Caliph's most intimate friends would be present. As we shall see by a statement of note that Ibrahim was later able to give himself over to unrestrained development of his art.
The young prince with immense wealth at his command lived the life of a grand seigneur, his generosity knowing no better, and he was asked a question of other rivals in his beloved art that he would be as sulptuous as a jealous woman.
Like his brother, Haroun al-Raschild, he would wander about the streets of Bagdad in all sorts of disguises, making many strange friends. Ibrahim and Haroun, though of different mothers, were brothers in more than name.
Ibrahim Wasted Wealth. The tenderness between them was so great that later when Haroun came to the throne, he made Ibrahim ruler of Syria, but learning for him he recalled him, and made a pilgrimage with him to Mecca. There was only one point of disagreement between the two, and that was the manner with which Ibrahim spent his spiritual mundice, hated reproved. This was how he once reproved Ibrahim. Ibrahim, himself, relates the story in his auto-blogography:
"One day," he said, "the Caliph, my brother, had deliged to accept an invitation to dine at my home. I ordered the repast served. Raschid had the habit of eating first the warm meats and then the hors de cuvures and other cold delicacies. Now at the second course, I dish decurred, a ragout of fish. Raschid asked me why the chef had acquired the fish in such small pieces. "Your Majesty," I replied, "what you take for pieces of fish are but so many fish tongues." The Caliph in astonishment wanted to know how many tongues composed the dish. Brahmin replied that there were about a thousand, the chef said that there were 1,560. "What does it cost?" demanded the Caliph. The chef named extravagant figure, it was a kind of fish. At this point, Caliph pushed his plate and reused to touch the wall a sum of money equal to the cost of the fish had been placed before him. When it was brought he ordered it to be taken out and dis-

tributed among the poor.
Caliph Curbs Extravagance
But the lesson did not end there.
As soon as the course was finished
the Caliph ordered one of the servants to take the magnificent golden platter on which the fish had been served and give it to the first poor person he met outside the palace gates.
Ibrahim, anxious to save it, whispered to a domestic to follow the man and buy it back, but the Caliph, by calling the servant, asked him to tell the one whom he gave it to tell the other less than 200,000 dirhams for it, about $15,000.
Ibrahim's generosity was incurable, however. When he was viceroy of Syria, Haroun instructed him to pay the sum of 300,000 dirhams out of the public treasury to Hakem el-Wahd, a popular singer. Ibrahim, who admired the singer, added 299,900 dirhams out of his own property, dirhams less in order that his own generosity should not equal that of
When Ibrahim was thirty-six years old, Harum died, and his son, Emin, came to the throne. This young ruler was like Ibrahim, a thorough bohemian at heart and many were the feasts both gave in the spacious gardens of the palace when nights when dens of the palace were filled in all its brilliance and the odor of might jasmine filled the air. But Emin's brother Mamoun, coveted the throne, and conspired against him, had him killed, and made himself ruler. Mamoun, however, took a step soon after that made him the popular with his own daughter the Abaside. He went to the daughter of Riza, head of a rival faction—the All-ites- and named Riza as his successor.
Seed Pearls Thrown as Rice
This wedding, by the way, throws further light on the immense wealth of the Mohammedan empire. Its cost was about $6,000,000 in the money of that day. Riza, by way of presents to Mamoun's general, wrote the names of some of his slips of paper and threw them among his mourners who caught the slips kept the estates written thereon.
Buran, mother of the bride, gave Mamoun 1000 large pearls, together with a candle of ambergels weighing 80 pounds. Instead of rice, seed pearls were thrown at the bride. These the mob were later permitted to gather. The months later Mamoun left with an expedition for a distant part of the empire. The Abbasides, who foresaw vengeance, if ever the Allies came into power, seized the occasion to revolt, and capturing the power, offered the throne to Ibrahim's elder brother, Mansour. But the latter, perhaps recalling the fate of his nephew, Emilh, Emilh's brother, it mentioned Ibrahim. He also refused but after considerable entreaty, aggranted.
Perhaps no one could have been selected, less fitted for rulership. Brahim, pre-eminently the leader in his music, his singing, his poems, and in enjoying himself with his friends. Besides he was too tender-hearted. It was a day when kings ruled by cruelty as well as by kindness, and Brahim was not the only ruler except where his artistic rivals were concerned.
Paid with Songs
Power fell into the hands of two of it. leading generals. They, cried, made matters worse. Even the soldiers were not paid, and Birahm held them out of his own pocket. At another time when they were unpaid the men cried: "Brim as the Caliph, let him-sing for us, and we'll be content." Birahm, thereupon three songs for those right on the left and those were satisfied. Some said, "Seth, one of the leading men of the kingdom, revolted. He captured and brought before Birahm, but the latter, however, could not bring himself to the point

Baltimoreans Who are Musically Inclined Have Much to be Thankful for. First Symphony Concert, Sunday, November 30.
Thanksgiving Day hereabouts gives Baltimoreans a formal opportunity to be gracious and to be gracious which come to the Negro population of this Southern city, through the splendid opportunities afforded those of us who are musically minded. During the last five years has been busy with a musical program which has been both inspiring and progressive. Many forces have been at work, and fortunately for us for once many of these forces have been inwardly harmoniously (no pun intended).
Many agencies can claim and justly claim some credit, if at a time like this credit be sought, assisting the Negro community in musically alive and possibly musically alert.
Many individuals have materially and morally helped to put Baltimore musically on the map in the Negro world of music. Many of them have brought about the musical renaissance which seems to be gripping our beloved old town. To begin with, many of our churches have helped many of them, despite the difficulties due to the worldwide economic depression. Many of the churches have even overcome the handicap of being led at present by querulous and selfish leaders, who have made money their chief concern. The public schools of Baltimore, have made a significant and appreciable contribution to the development of things musical. Through the uniting effort of the director of music in the public schools of Baltimore, who has at all times insisted on equal and the same opportunity in music education for "all the children of all the people," regardless of race, color or creed, the director of music has been probed on a very high plane. No other single person of the other racial group has done more to give our citizens all that is best in music.
Orchestra
Our recently formed Negro symphony orchestra is another musical experiment which is an indication of the interest that is being manifested in the musical potentialities, with which our group is richly endowed.
This project is largely the brainchild of Frederick R. Huber, the ninth chancellor of the Baltimore Symphony. This organization is less than a year old, but it has made, under the leadership of Charles L. Harris, some progress. This organization is the Negro symphony orchestra is that during its first year of life it has been financially sponsored by a white donor who has modestly desired to remain a member. Mrs. William H. Bauernschmidt, who like Mr. Huber, has during these later years been much interested in the Negro symphony orchestra. He has helped very materially in the development of the orchestra.
First Symphony Concert Nov. 30
The opportunities given our group to compete in these concerts given by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, have done much to bring music of the best to us. Sunday, the opening of the Baltimore Symphony series for Negro adults. These concerts, like the concerts for Negro children by the Baltimore Symphony, are the work of Frederick Douglass High School. The hour is four o'clock.
Much interest is being shown in this first concert of the orchestra augmented to eighty-four musicians. This year, George Siemonn, a Baltimore composer of some distinction, and the husband of the wife have come to for a number of years was a star of the first magnitude in the Metropolitan Opera Company, is the conductor. Gustav Sustrue, who for fourteen years has been the conductor. All in all, Baltimoreans of the Negro group who are musically inclined for which they should be...nkful.

"Before I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was all run down, nervous, could not sleep good and had to spend two days in bed every month. A friend of mine told me about the Vegetable Compound and I also saw it advertised in the Afro-American. I don't know where I would have been then if I hadn't taken it. I do all my housework, washing, framing, and cleaning and I feel fine. I am now giving the Vegetable Compound to my fourteen-year-old daughter.

FANDOMALLAGOG AS TURKEY DAY CLASSICS NEAR
Football Paths Lead in Three Different Directions.
Six Big Elevens Almost Evenly Matched.
The eyes of the athletic world are focused on three great football classics to be played in various sections of the country on Thanksgiving Day.
Howard University will meet Lincoln in Griffith Stadium in Washington. Lincoln is selected to win this clash by a slight margin if Coach Bill Taylor's squad displays the aggressiveness they have shown in their latter season games.
The Lions will enter the fray with four C.I.A.A. victories tucked under their belts while Howard has but two. The Lions have proved themselves good ground gainers, plunging up substantial scores, having amassed a total of 300 points in seven games against the Bisons.
Washington Ready
Washington is already agog over the expected influx of visitors from all sections of the country as alumni from both schools return to the annual clash which in years past has developed into the most important contest in which the two bitter rivals participate. The slogan of both institutions is, regurgitation of what other games have been lost, the Thanksgiving Classic must be won. A hard-fought battle is expected.
Union-Hampton
More important from an official standpoint is the clash between Hampton and Union. These two schools have either vanquished or tied all opponents in the conference and their standing in the C.I.A.A. hangs in the balance in this final struggle of the season.
'Force-West Virginia
To the West, the Wilberforce-West Virginia contest looms to unusual proportions this year.
Gridiron rivalry between the teams of the two schools, existing even prior to the year of 1910, will be renewed in the Wilberforce Stadium on Turkey Day.
Since Wilberforce has won only games from the Mountainters, one victory by a score of 3-2 in 1926, the other the 14-10 win of last year. Four times since the start of the great World War have these two teams come from the field with the issues still unsettled, while on eight occasions the West Virginians have triumphed.
Last year in the bitter cold and on a snow-coated field, the Bulldogs emerged victorious by two touchdowns and two extra points. This season, Wilberforce is counting on an equally decisive victory, as followers of the team believe the Buckeyes to be two touchdowns better than Coach Hamblin's men.

ning the ball scored the touchdown, sliced the line for the extra point.
The Initial Quarter
In the first quarter following Douglass's touchdown, Captain Henderson caught the kick-off, and scampered through the field, but following that the Blue and Orange goal was never gravely menaced.
In the last quarter the visitors threatened with an aerial attack, but the defenders were forced to abandon this method.
This was the last game of the season for Douglas, having won five and lost one. Dumbar was the only school in the school gridirons to down the local gridirons this year.

Griffith Stadium will be the most ideal place I can think of for us rest-broken and heart-weary men to catch a snooze. There'll be no radios to disturb our slumber, no vitaphones to grate on our ears. There will be peace and tranquility—a perfect place to chillbisfully off into the arms of a sophomore and dream of those by-go-go men when men were football players before classics became "quidquiesces." As we snore, smiles will creep across our faces as in our dreams the visionary shades of Jazz Bard, Doneghy, Whirlwind Johnson and others thunder across our paths.

NEW YORK.—For the third time Gus Moore of the Brooklyn Harriers captured the Metropolitan A.U.I. senior cross-country championship over a new six-mile course at Clove Lake, a time he was three minutes over his record at Van Cortlandt Park, making the grade in 33:03, but this was attributed to the soggy course which delayed the _whole field and made the high-class aggregation of ninety-five competitors, winning in easy fashion by a wide margin.
Except for a brief time on the course, Moore never was pressed. He sprinted away to the fore at start with the same drive that has given him two metropolitan one-mile titles and two national cross-country championships, and he was headed for the rest of the season.

Bench Talk
DOPE UPSET
The forecasters of football results received some sudden shocks the past week-end. Practically everybody picked West Virginia to defeat South Carolina to defeat Florida. A and M, and Bluefield to defeat Fisk. But both Fisk and Florida A. and M. refused to have home comings spoiled, and rose to the season's top position. The comparative scores seemed at least two touchdowns better.
Clark, smarting under two consecutive conference defeats, conquered the test game. Mountaineer owns the own back yard, which is usually a difficult job.
OUTSTANDING TEAMS
With the close of the season near at hand there seems to be few outstanding teams. In the Southwest, we find Southern and Wiley. In the Northwest, we find Utah and Virginia State. In the Georgia-Carolina Conference, we find South Carolina State. In the Southern Conference we have Fisk, Tuskegee and Wiley. In the Mid-West, Wilberforce and in the Far Mid-West, Langston. At present, it would seem that honors will be decided among Tuskegee, Wilberforce, Fisk, and Langston. Of these four teams, only Fisk and Langston meet before the end of the season. drawing cards possible for this year would be a Tuskegee-Fisk game on December 15 or 20, played in Atlanta, Nashville, or Birmingham. It would draw an and not newspaper crowd of at least 10,000.
Both teams include men of all-Southern and all-American choice, and their abilities are known. They will be the last meeting between the Tuskegee and Fisk organizations was an exciting battle, with Fisk leading most of the way to lose in the last few minutes of play.
Suggestions have been made concerning a benefit game for the unemployed. Charitable agencies, here is your opportunity to stage a game with the students, decoys and teams of both institutions would gladly co-operate in such a move.
INTER-SCHOLASTIC FOOTBALL
In the state of Georgia, apparently inter-scholastic athletes are in the same condition as inter-collegiate athletes. Some of the questions asked during doing work above the high school grade and using players more than four years considered as high school champions; for men below the ninth grade, for women below the seventh and if so, what effect will this time have on their years of participation as senior high school men?
FLA. USETS S.C. STATE
Showing a defensive characteristic in
M. eleven, the cope to win from
South Carolina Bulldogs 6-0 in the
home-coming. The Fancee Ratters'
lone tally came in the second
period when after having driven the
Bulldogs, the Fancee Ratters'
latter's kicker attempted to punt
from his 8-yard line. The kick was
blocked by Green, the Florida cen-
tral defender, behind the goal line for a touchdown.
This was the turning point in
the game, as the over-confident
Bulldogs could not crush the punch and
spread the Orange and Green.
The encounter in game
and developed into a punter's duel
as neither team was able to open large
holes in the line or gain sufficient
yardage to field end-nums and fake plays by the Fancee's quarterback. Sampson of Florida, coupled with the fast
charging defensive line, starring
Evans Webber, Person and Franks
fell, furnished thrills for the fans.
TUSKEGEE WINS ALA. CIVIL WAR
After playing the Tuskegee team
brilliantly for three quarters with
the score 14-6, Coger, brilliant guard
for Alabama State was forced from
playing in the game, similar to the one received in the Wilberforce game. With Coger
missing, it became only a question
of time as to the amount of scores.
The Tuskegee Tigers scored three
touches, the Alabama Hornets scored
one as a result of an intercepted
pass and the other two by straight
hard offensive football.
It is interesting to note that the
failure in withstanding the Alabama
Hornets and found itself scored on
after a 60-yard drive in the third
quarter with a fine mixture of end
runs, short and long passes and line
teams, composed largely of freshmen
and sophomores served warning on
members of the Southern Conference
that even after the departure
this year of Stevenson, Shanklin,
Champion and Joyner, they will skill find lots of trouble at Tuskegee.
Shanklin, Harrison and Adame showed up best for Tuskegee, while on defense Coger, guard for Alabama State until he retired in the third quarter, soo out as the super play, but the defense was for Alabama State, thrilled the crowd time after time with his brilliant line-blunging and end runs.
THURKEY: DAY GAMES
In the Turkey Day games, unless there are some more startling upsets, the winning teams are as pitchy as the little difficulty in breaching through to victory.
NOTICE TO SPORT WRITERS
We are very anxious to receive the results of all games played by our players, the names of the three outstanding players for the season. Kindly forward this information not later than the next week at 841 Fair Street, S.W., Atlanta. Ga.

HEALTH DEPT. WARNS
ABOUT RABBITS
With the advent of the rabbit season, the public is cautioned against unnecessary handling of these animals; it is infeccible rabbits and other small wild animals throughout the country. It can be transmitted to man by handling these animals. During 1029, 10 cases of tularemia were reported in England in December and cases have been reported so far in 1930. The bacteria or germ causing the disease is, however, destroyed by the cooking process. It is, therefore, not the well cooked flesh of the rabbits. The infected rabbit actually becomes ill and loses its swiftness of foot. Slow rabbits are, therefore, to be kept alone. 4. Handle rabbits with bare hands, use rubber gloves. The infection may be in the ur as well as in the various organs. 5. If handling without gloves is absolutely necessary, wash the hands thoroughly immediately after the handling process. 3. Do not by any means allow any open sore or cut to come in direct contact with the animal or container which has contained a rabbit.
4. Burn all wrapping paper on the rabbits.
5. If any suspicions sore or an enlargement of a gland of the arm develops after handling the rabbits, see your physician immediately.

HAMPTON INST., Va. — While the Hampton Ironmen's hopes flared up and then dwindled away to nothing, a pack of Morgan bears left their spoor all over Armstrong Field, and following the lead of Big Tom Conrad, mighty halfback, moved on to victory in the key game of the season, 13-6.
From the standpoint of sheer brilliance, it was Conrad's game. His cleats left an indelible mark along the road to victory, for he passed kicked, and romped through the line with merry unconcern, and the highest power, the toughest touchdowns and an touch point on a Seaside team in smooth condition and fully con-
fident of victory.
Used Two Teams
Hampton used 15 substitutes in an effort to wear down the Morgan ofensive, a one time sending commissary staff the Morgans used two new men.
140 lb. Guard Unconscious
Arnold Morris, the Bear's plucky 140-pound guard, was knocked unconscious at the beginning of the second attack and was carried to the Dixie Hospital where he remained in that state for several hours. Morris is a former high school player of Huntin-ton, W.Va.
Hampton Tried Everything
Hampton played football, varying its drives with passes and sweeping end runs, but driving down to the goal line three times it lacked the punch or the co-ordination to go over. The most obvious weakness lay in the defense with Hampton tacklers and safety men unable to stop the terrific charges of Conrad and his compers.
Passing Good
Williams, Courad, Hicks, and Wilson presented an exceptionally fine exhibition of co-ordinated backfield play, due to their accuracy in completing lateral and backward passes from almost any position.
Gaines and Hill were the outstanding Hampton players on the defenses of the team. Hammar, Moore, Weatherford, and Guess carried the brunt of Hampton's offensive work.
Morgan completed six out of eight forward passes and Hampton four out of seven while Hampton scored eleven first downs to Morgan's nine.
Morgan Onens Up
Morgan opened up its attack immediately and Hampton, for the first
Doctor's 3 RULES Big Help to Bowels
What a joy to have the bowels move like clockwork, every day! It is easy, if you mind these simple rules of a famous old doctor:
1. Drink a big tumblerful of water before breakfast, and several a day.
2. Get plenty of outdoor exercise without unduly fatiguing yourself.
3. Try for a bowel movement at exactly the same hour every day. Everyone's bowels need help at times, but the thing to use is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pespin. You'll get a thorough cleaning-out, and it won't leave your inside weas and watery. The doctor's prescription is just fresh, have herbs, pure pepsin and other helpful bowels, you couldn't hurt a child. But how it wakes up those lazy bowels? How good you feel with your system rid of all that poisonous waste matter. Clean up that coated tongue, sweeten that bad bread, and get rid of those billious headaches. A little Syrup Pespin will soon free the bowels from that waste matter that makes the food sluggish. You'll eat better, sleep better.
You'll like the way Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin tastes. The way it works will delight you. Big bottles—all drugstores.

"If Hampton beats Union there will be no doubt of Morton's ability to stand the standing will have to be thrashed out in the conference match." "We wish to thank Baltimore and the AFRO for the support the team has received this season. We will hold the title if possible."

part of the period remained on the defensive. Coach Smith started his second string with the first squad quarterback with Hampton's big team came in but no breaks opened up until the second quarter.
Conrad Runs 51 Yards
The second quarter began with Hampton moving down from the 31-yard line, but not even Jones, who had come in for Moore, could make the necessary yardage. Conrad, taking the ball on downs, started a run but Skunk Morton battled him up immediately. Changing tactics he heaved a pass which was allowed on Hampton's forty-seven for roughness. A series of passes to the to 20-yard line, and only Jones's interception of a forward pass prevented a score from this advance.
Briggs was forced to kick on the failure to follow up Jones's move, and Williams took the punt at midfield. Conrad received a short pass and ran fifty-seven yards to Hampton's whol. defense missed him. Williams was unsuccessful in running the extra point.
Captain Hill and Big Thomas stopped the next group of plays and the quarter ending in advantage midfield.
Weatherford Scores
Early in the third quarter, Weatherford scored Hampton's only point when Boam kicked a low ball that hit Williams and bounced along the ground until covered by Behring. Gan's seventen. Weatherford made him stand his left end and went over but failed in his try for the point. Hampton made two other attempts to advance within scoring distance but failed to score. Moore and Weatherford continued to hammer away at the mean line again until he into position to kick. Garrelson foiled Weatherford's attempt to kick.
Conrad Scores Again
Taking a short pass on the 45-yard line Conrad streaked away for another touchdown but Scott and Beam stopped him on the 5-yard line. On ball up to the line, Conrad made the touchdown and extra point. Hampton's final attack came when Morton blocked a kick from Conrad and a series of passes from Conrad, including a kick took Hampton the 12-yard line. The ball was lost on downs. Maxie Thomas, Hampton end, caught it. 22-yard pass from Jones on afterwards and three minutes to go put up from them on the last down. Again the ball was on downs and soon after the game ended.
MORGAN -HAMPTON
GAME COLORFUL EVENT
Baltimore Rooters Chartered Boat to
Attend Virginia Contest
B. PAUL HENDERSON
The weather was most ideal, one a top wrap not at all necessary. Hampton band rained a hard past twelve days. Armstrong Field is one of those sedded fields and rain really hel' so there fore no mud was slung. As the field well-wishers determined to see the finish, a delegation of nea. fifty people chartered the whole deck of the boats. Added to this trip with twice as many players, the team moved from Baltimore by the time the anti-Hampton rooters join the visitors, there were about 1,500 rooters for Morgan. This was indeed encouraging for the 60 Men on Field
It was really hard to figure out how 23 Morganites could lick a squad of Iromn : who were in top shape and out-turning all the others, matters look worse, all 60-odd of these players led by the Hampton band marched on the field, separated in. squads and proceeded to wallow around on the field, other stunts. Weften their foes.
This, however, did not affect the Bears, because from the very start they held their own. In fact they held so good that Coach Smith sent in an enlightened new lineup before the quarter was over; but half close to the Bears leading by one downhill. During the intermission my attention was turned to bevies of lo/ely femininity who can* from everywhere along the Virginia Seaboard. I don't know what Smith said. But he meant he said: "Play like H—" because that is what they did a1.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-Before a "home-coming" crowd of three thousand students and alumni, the heavy Fisk eleven romped roughhoused over Bluefield Institute West, Virginia, winning a record of 31-6 in the Sul-Dell Pool, Saturday.
"Jumping" Joe Wiggins skipped around man after man to mark up two scores for himself and Fisk that dashed the hopes of the team in carrying the ball over only once. Graves, who scored the lone touchdown for Bluefield after a 25-yard run, and Adams, a back, was the outstanding charge of his team, threatening the Bulldogs by his smashes—at least seven first downs went to his first quarter, with Bluefield having the edge on Fisk. Once a smashing drill brought the Blues within three yards of goal, touchdown was their for doing so. After this, Morgan tightened up. A close huddle, a feint "hike" (and Bob Villiams was getting weak), and a zhort pass, the mighty one, carried over for the final and deciding taly. There were numerous social functions to take place, and I stand the fire for the team, but those of us who went down on the boat had to miss all that. However, we saw the main part, the game; and all who did so were unanimous in hardest-fought and most colorful game of the season.

WILBERFORCE, Ohio. —The Wilberforce University football team was in the limelight again this week when two proposals were received for post-season games. The first of these is to have the Bulldogs meet Langston University, Okla., on the latter's grounds on Christmas D.
Langston, champion of the 1970 west wing, was the first Wilcoff administration a 6-0 defeat to the Oklahomaians several seasons past. The other proposal, while not as definite as the first, comes in the form of a demand by white football lovers of the state for a new Wilcoff College, while of Springfield, Ohio.

Secretary of Eastern Board of Officials Likes AFRO Suggestion
November 18. 1930.
I note with a great deal of approval your suggestion in an AERC issue the post-season football game between the champions of two sections of our country. This is a most happy suggestion and one of the few things rather seriously by those parties eligible for the contest.
That it should meet with very popular favor and a nearly patronage from enthusiasts is to be doubted.
The types of football as played in different sections of the country could be compa-
the happy exchange tickets of playoff teams of friendship, the meeting of friends and alumni of both institution, would weld fraternal relations and followers of the gridiron contest would have some consolation in the merit of a national champion
The financial support would be an assured fact. WASHINGTON, Secretary-Treasurer of Eastern Bor: de of Officials, Wash., D.C.

WHITE LAWYER STOLE PENSIONS GETS A YEAR
RALEIGH.—A white lawyer, W. C. Douglas, who defrauded two aged and illiterate mothers of the pensions given them by the government following the deaths of their war veteran sons, was sentenced Wednesday to a year and a day in the Federal prison at Atlanta by Judge I. M. Meekins, in the United States District Court. Judge Meekins described the fraud as one of the "dirtiest" he had ever known a lawyer to commit.
Made Her "Mark"
Mrs. Lucy Powell, whose suspicions regarding the trickery of the barrister caused the government's investigation, alawar officials covered up a clock he had received from the Veterans' Bureau while having her make a mark and an endorsement.
The check was for $796, but Douglas told the woman it was for $300 and gave the old woman $280 after depositing it in his name. The woman was suspicious and told her son, He, accompanied by another man, secured the remainder of the money from the lawyer, but the government heard of the case.
Mrs. Charlotte Brown, the other aged woman tricked by the lawyer, is dead now, but evidence showed that the man collected a check for $1,920, persuaded the woman to endorse it without knowing the check. The skeister appointed the check to our account and drew out $220 on his own check which is all he gave the woman.
The lawyer's attorneys pleaded for leniency, and a Methodist minister claimed that the thief was highly respected, but their arguments were not sufficient to change the court's opinion of the crime.

(Carroll News Service)
BOSTON, Mass. — A $50 fine was the gift received by Frank Johnson, better known as K.O. Johnson, because of his 250 pounds, when he pleaded guilty to "writing numbers" before Judge Sheshan in the Municipal Court. K.O. was arrested by Special Officers Financial and Hurst of the East Dedham Street Station at Shawmut Avenue and Camden Street, where he was posing as a newsboy. Instead of selling papers, he was writing numbers. The officers found a specimen in which they saw, they were the pockets containing lottery slips and numbers.
ZION BISHOP IS THREATENED WITH JAIL
ZION BISHOP IS THREATENED WITH JAIL
LOUISVILLE, Ky.—In an open letter to Zion Methodists published by the Rev. C. Eubanks Tucker, in the current issue of the Louisville News, Bishop Christopher Columbus Alleyne, scheduled to preach at Broadway Temple last Sunday night, was advised to be careful or he will land behind the bars of the Jefferson County jail before he leaves Louisville.
According to the Rev. Mr. Tucker, Zion ministers resented the coming of Bishop Alleyne to Broadway Temple, declaring that he is an awowed enemy of the resident bishop, D. W. Cousin of Ken- and was coming to Louisville without the knowledge of Bishop Jones.
"Why," asked the Rev. Mr. Tucker, "should Bishop Alleye leave his district in Indiana to come to Kentucky in the absence of Bishop Jones without his knowledge?" Bishop Alleye Accused The Rev. Mr. Tucker accused Bishop Alleye of being in league with Bishop Kyles and Wallace against Bishop Jones. In the open letter, Bishop Alleye is referred to in extremely uncomplimentary terms. The letter accompanied such unusual expressions as "hell-bent outfit," "base ingrate," "boode in his jeans," "this bird," "embodiment of treachery," "autocrat." "Byron," "opressor of ministers and their families."
Captures Nude Whites as Film Caveman
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (ANP) — According to Pete Edifa, a well-known movie "extra," he was engaged a few days ago by a man to make a picture on location in one of the remote canyons near the city. Attended by a great deal of secrecy the party including a large cave. Pete dressed only in a loin cloth was stationed in the mouth of the cave. Girls absolutely naked, supposedly feeling from white men, also naked, were to pass this cave. As they did so the wild man of the hills then mended them into a home. Other scenes which could not be shown on any public screen were filmed, according to Edifa, a private cameraman, for sale at high prices for risque parties and stage.

WHITE BARONS CONTROL DIGITS IN COLUMBUS, O.
(Continued from Page One)
lucky number.
Numbers Field Out
All went well with some of these until some of these numbers began to hit. Irate players, finding that they had hit, would rush to headquarters to collect. Of course there would be no duplicate slip in the office and the syndicate would not pay off.
Several writers holding out such slips managed to leave town but others were not quite so fortunate and were man-handed by furious number players. In one instance a woman "hit" for a dollar, only find that the runner handled her play had to be handed her ticket to the office. Her encounter with the erring runner resulted in the arrest of both persons but not until the cheating runner had been rather badly disfigured.
Average Play 15 Cents
Out on East Long Street, the Druid Hill Avenue of Columbus, one finds most of the sub-offices of the principal syndicate, the blocks between Lexington Avenue and Seventeenth Street containing any number of stations where players on their way or from work may stop in and place a person in the lobby. The person vary from two cents to two dollars, the average play is about fifteen cents per player. It is estimated that Columbus people play from $4,000 to $7,000 per day on the elusive digits.
Unemployment Helps Numbers
In South Columbus, an unanticipated marriage to the men who labor in the glass factories and shops. Here, where the standard of living is lower, one finds, of course, the smallest amounts wagered. Unemployment, instead of decreasing the play, has increased it seemingly, as persons out of work, desperately invest what small savings they have in the numbers, hoping against that they will hit and get on their feet again.
Some of these same people, under more prosperous conditions, would not think of playing the numbers, but would complain that the practice of playing the numbers has materially affected the amount of money obtainable from these same people. While police in some sections of the city have been winking at infractions of the law they have been very vigorous in their prosecution of the gambling in the East Long Street section of the city, who have chased an alleged number writer through an alley near the Williams Building, grabbing the fugitive by his coat only to have him wiggle out of the garment and escape in broad daylight, however, have not been as fortunate.
5 and 7 Favorites
Numbers containing "Ss" and "Ts" seem to be favorites with the local folk. One man, a professional man, has been a successful dollar daily for the past two weeks on "750," having received the hunch that that number would come out before Thanksgiving. The Columbus, the game is coming into its own, for as fast as police suppress it in one place it bops up in another. And while the strange thing is that the Columbus citizen finds a way, though he may have to wait for the cover of darkness to do so.

THE COUNTRY REPORTER
The appearance in the markets at Christmas time of countless thousands of Christmas trees, quite a percentage of which are not cold-dried, mulled or burned, has raised in many sections a vigorous protest against this apparent waste and some of its accompanying abuses. Many trees are cut off leaving tall stubs, the owner of the land, tops of trees are cut off leaving tall stubs, large areas are stripped of trees and roadsides are made unattractive with discardable trees and trimmed. Many western National Forest Surveys have been issuing with each thinned out tree disposed of at Christmas time, tags certifying "Tits cutting was not destructive but beneficial" and trimming trees to grow foster and better. It was under the supervision of the U.S. Forest Service." Standards for cutting Christmas trees "Cut only from crowded stands which need thinning, leaving trees about eight feet apart. Cut the entire tree close to the ground even though only the top is
"Brush should be lopped and scattered to lie flat on the ground, to reduce fire hazard and improve appearance, or preferably removed to shade for burning after wet weather." Many people are beginning to cultivate Christmas trees and in sections of the country where good Christmas trees are no longer available, to profit a profitable business. For this purpose the Norway spruce is better for the Northeastern states and the Douglas fir for the west.

Owing to the dull times, Thanksgiving will be observed quietly on the Eastern Shore of Virginia this year. The public school will be closed from Tuesday until the following week, with the teachers living off the "Shore," will take advantage of this opportunity to weekend at their homes. Stores, banks and postoffices will be closed. The usual Thanksgiving sermons will be held at the church followed by dinners and suppers. Movie pariors are running special holiday pictures. The Mattle V. Lee Missionary Circle of Hyattsville, Md., sent a number of Thanksgiving baskets to a number of sick and aged of the community. Other Thanksgiving charity work will be done by the Harrisburg Girl Reserves, who will also distribute baskets to the needy.

MESSENGER SAYS JUDGE TOOK HIS PAY
MESSENGER SAYS JUDGE TOOK HIS PAY
MEMPHIS, Tenn — Federal Judge Anderson was accused of fraud before the Congressional sub-committee led by Representative La Guardia (Rep. N.Y.) and Judge H. Burns, an ex-convict, testified that he was sworn in as court messenger in 1926 but never did more than two or three tasks about the three years he worked for the judge.
"I spent all my time as butler, house boy and yard man," Banks said, "except occasionally I was a cook or chauffer." He said that his signature, written on two monthly pay checks of $75 each, drawn on the United States treasury, in March and April, 1926 was forged.
"I was not working for Judge Anderson at that time," Banks told Mr. La Guardia, "and I did not sign for the checks. I don't know whose signature it was." He told twelve dollars a week from Judge Anderson the first three on four months, my room and board, Banks said. "I was understood that the room was over the garage—was to be counted as sixteen dollars a month.
"I always signed a' voucher for my pay and signed my check also, but part of the papers were always covered up with some other papers so we were not sure the amount I was supposed to be getting from the government."

HAITIAN PREXY
TAKES CHARGE
OF GOVERNMENT
By FELIX HERAUX
PORT au PRINCE, Haiti. (ANP) — Stenio Vincent was elected president of Haiti by a vote of thirty-one votes. The Democratic Republic at 18 at 3 p.m., on the fourth round of balloting.
There were thirty ballots. A majority win. All ballots were mailed with win. At the start of the balloting Charles Zamor withdrew, followed by two others and then Price Mars withdrew after the third round.
After the election result was announced, the usual twenty-one guns. The streets were packed with people, cheering and yelling. Immediately took the cath of office in the Chambers, and sent a committee to inform Roy that he was coming to the palace: Vincent and Praelid embraced each other after the last vote. There had been feelings between them for sometime.
Before the palace the throng was immense. Vincent went to Petionville first to refresh himself. At 6 p.m. he came down and entered the wild deserts of the crowd. Roy met him on the steps and they both received their respective salutes from the band and Gardes. The power was turned over in a few minutes and then Roy and Vincent both left or Petionville amid the most concentration ever heard in this town.
On could enumerate all kinds of reasons for the downfall of Pradel who spent plenty of money in this race—some say it amounted to $80,000. The main things engendered by the heist that he was for frank and loyal co-operation with the United States and the other obstacle was the fact that he had as henchman, Jolibois. One can co-operate well enough by being able to obtain that of with Borno, who was included to accede to every wish of Washington without any argument or thought. Pradel was not the man for the job. He was too long in the pay of the National City Bank. His past record is not good, and proved conclusively that he is really a Haitian.
Objected to U.S.
On the other hand, Vincent has a past of which no one can say aught but good. He was the only Haitian to object against the closing of the Chamber in 1915 and when he saw the president of the armed Marines he said he would be damned if he would agree to any proposition of the invader and he walked out with his head up.
He has been minister at Paris, Belfast and this city during which time he inaugurated the idea of having yearly expositions on the first of each May, a thing that has not been since he left the Commune, except for those who are a bachelor and has a sister in Chicago. For the duration of Borno's reign Vincent lived in seclusion in Petitionville, without a penny, living o what friends claim him and the income from his small newspaper.
New Minister
Dana Munro, white, the new American minister, arrived on the 16th and presented his letters to the president, yet nothing hints now to see what his ideas are regarding the country.

CHICAGO. (ANP)—Failure on the part of Mayor Wille Hale Thompson to name a Negro to one of the members of the Chicago drew protests from Negroes here last week. The mayor named two members and announced that the Polish people were to be placed in the office of the A delegation of colored people, among whom were Dr. Herbert Turner, president of the local N.A.A.C.P. Earl B. Dickerson, until recently reappointed to the office of attack, W. Elisi Stewart, E. G. Brown, and Edith Sampson called on the mayor, committee put into circulation a petition at campaign meeting of the N.A.A.C.P. held at P.O. College Sunday afternoon under the leadership of Mrs. Daisy Lampkin in attempting to satisfy all elements of the population except the Negro.
Thompson told the committee that the company branded his excuse as an insult.
MOST MEANNESS MOST CHURCHES IN DIXIE
NEW YORK. — "If religion had any influence on people," said Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, "the South would be the most religious section of the country."
Dr. Johnson was the speaker, morning and evening, at the 122nd anniversary services of Abyssinian Baptist Church, of which the Rev Dr. A. Clayton bell is pastor. Dr. A. Clayton said:
"There are more churches, preachers and enthusiasts, for missions in the South than in any other section, yet there is more meanness in the South than in any other section.
"There is a increasing number of men and women who still believe there is no place for them in religion and a church must look these criticisms in the face and see how many of them are true and what be done about them."
"We need a radical religion," he said, "that will always be experimenting with human souls. Religion is a creative force which helps men and women meet their problems. Wherever love is, that is the expression of God."
Other speakers were Dr. W. T. Hayes, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor of Mother Zion Church.
The exercises began Friday evening and ended Wednesday, November 28.
The church has a membership of 6,932 and carries on a community program employing a staff of 32 people.
Disfranchisement Made Moke MEMPHIS, "The Memphis Neighbor," to vote under the Federal constitution, one under the state constitution, and two under the city charter, and it is useless for the Nye committee to investigate whether the governor observed here," said Senator Thaddeus Carraway sarcastically at the annual dinner of the Newspapermen's Club amid roars of laughter.

M.E. BODYFAVORS NO PUNISHMENT OF THE SOUTH
M.E. BODYFAVORS NO PUNISHMENT OF THE SOUTH
WASHINGTON, D. C. Although the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals urges an immediate exclusion of 7,500,000 aliens and the consequent reduction of representation in Congress from states where they live, it wants no such reduction in the South where millions of Negroes are disfranchised, it announced this week. In a letter to Representatives Dickinson (Rep. I.) and Bankin (Dem. Miss.) Dr. Clarence True Wilson, general secretary of the board, asked those lawmakers to work for an amendment to the appropriation measure passed a year which would cut the presentation of several states because of their non-voting alien populations.
Tinkham Makes Threat
The announcement that a more would be made to bring about the adoption of such an amendment at the coming short session of Congress, shortly after the opposition from New York, Massachusetts, and other quarters.
"If an attempt is made to exclude the aliens," Representative Tinkham (Rep. Mass.) said. "I stand ready to fight for the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution and will propose reduction in representation in proportion to disfranchisement of the Negro in the South.
He was to this statement that Dr. Clarence True Wilson of the ME board, took exceptions, declaring he did not favor reducing representation in the South as a result of Negro disfranchisement. Such action, he said, would reduce the number of drys in Congress as the South is pro-prohibition.
He contended that although disfranchised the Southern the Negro should outweigh for representation purposes, the unnaturalized alien.
"REDS" DEMAND FULL EQUALITY FOR NEGRO
By CYRIL BRIGGS
ST. LOUIS, Mo. — The convention of the American Negro Labor Congress, now the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, was attended here by 73 colored delegates and 43 whites.
They came by auto, bus and even by stealing rides on freight trains.
Demands Death Penalty for Lynchers
The convention demanded the death penalty for all lynchers, liquidation of debts and mortgages of Negro prior farmers, and called upon the Negro and white workers for mass violations of all Jim-Crow laws.
The manifest recommended the commemoration of November 11, 1931, as the centenary of Nat Turner's execution by the slave-owners, supported by the United States Government.
In a ringing manifesto, the convention, demanded full equality of Negroes with other nationalities, the abolition of all forms of discrimination, disfranchisement, anti-marriage laws, segregation, Jim-Crow laws.

contents of her pocketbook. With the knowledge of the different cuts, she can bring out their best qualities, she can select and serve appetizing meats to suit any family budget. From the same animal vary greatly in tenderness. The following lists show in general the tender and less tender
TENDER CUTS
For steaks there is the sirloin, porterhouse, tenderloin, club and rib (short cut). The rib and loin are better for roasts.
Of the less tender cuts, for steaks, there is the cluck, shoulder, flank, round and rump; for roasts, chuck rib, cross arm, rib; for steaks, stewed the neck, plate and brisket, plank, shank and heel of round.
HOW TO COOK
For tender, cuts the best: method of cooking is to sanear the meat at a high temperature for a short time until a brown coating's formed and then to reduce the temperature and finish the cooking at moderate heat before the meat and do not add water.
Tender cuts are cooked until rare, medium or well done. Beef is rare according to a meat thermometer between the temperatures of 180 and 150 degrees, between the temperatures of 170 and well done at about 180.

of ordering his execution, and had him thrown into prison where he was well treated.
Revolt followed revolt during the next two years. Finally news came that Mamoun was returning with a large army. Ibrahim's government at once collapsed and he, himself, fled.
For the next six years he lay in hiding, Mamoun not wishing to take him because of the problem of dealing with him. But the people, becoming again discontented, began to look to Ibrahim.
An attempt was made to re-place him on the throne, but when success seemed certain in a subordinate all. The conspirators were captured, whipped, and exposed to the broiling sun for three days, after which they were executed and left to be eaten by the crowds; all but one who was of royal birth who was buried.
As to Ibrahim, Mamoun offered a large reward for him.
Masquerades as Women
Masquerades as Women
Tracked in the city, whose gates were carefully guarded, Ibrahim wandered from place to place in different costumes, his early vagabond experience now serving him well. All he attempted to get outside the gates, and dressed as a woman, he started out early one morning with two female attendants.
The three stopped at a bazaar to make a purchase. The owner, his suspicions aroused, began to question them, whereupon one of the women offered him a magnificent ruby. This aroused his suspicion still more and more, to struggle that followed Ibrahim's fell wall and his beard was revealed.
To make matters worse, at that moment a slave, who had learnt his identity and had followed him in the hone of getting the reward, told all.
Ibrahim was arrested and thrown into prison where he lay several days. Mamoun, meanwhile, was making up his mind what to do with him. It was a big problem for Mamoun. Ibrahim was not only his uncle but he was immensely popular with all classes of the people. Besides Mamoun already had the blood of his own brother on his hands. To put Ibrahim to his knees, he must have secured his own position. There seemed but one alternate, to pardon him and then keep a close watch on him.
When, therefore, one of Brabimh's wives, Bourrian, came to plead for him, Mamoun was happy to seize that pretext. Pretending to be obdurate at first he finally relented. Brabimh was brought before Mamoun in the great throne room, loaded with chains.
He saluted Mamoun: "Prince of Believers, may Allah grant thee his mercy and his benedictions.
Mamoun turned on him, angry: "I reject thy salutation as Allah will reject and excommunicate traitors as thou."
"Gentle Sire," replied Brabimh. "gentle power excludes hate. Those who parade approach nearest to
Mamoun bowed his' head as if to horn with emotion and said, 'indicating his own two sons, Abbas and Mussafae, persons who ask me to condemn thee.'
Mamonn Frees Ibrahim
"Commander of the Faithful," replied Ibrahim, "if it were only a question of politics or the state their
counsel would be wise but Allah permits your majesty to be merciful without danger because he has given to the power that defies all attacks."
Turning to his grand vister, Mamoun said: "Verily here are words more precious than pearls, more powerful than magic. Addressing Ibrahim, "My dear uncle, Ibrahim forgive thee as freely as I have forgiven thee," Mamoun, kneeling, turned his face, toward Mecca, and prayed, after which he ordered the chains to be struck of Ibrahim, and that he be clothed again in royal garb.
"Henceforth, uncle," said Mamoun, "will be the dearest of friends." An escort of royalty was ordered to conduct Ibrahim to its palace. Behind came twelve camels loaded with presents, a gift from Mamoun. The next day, Ibrahim gambled with which she screen of satin on which were embroidered eighteen verses of his own composition, which are still preserved.
Mamoun's show of forgiveness went further. He ordered all those who had been kind to Ibrahim during his adversity to be well rewarded, and those who had been unkind to be punished. Among the latter were the owner of the bazaar, and the slave who had betrayed him. The slave was given 100 lashes and sent to prison for life. "You had neither child nor husband," said Mamoun severely, "hence need was not your excuse."
Taunted About Color
By doing this, Mamoun was endeavoring not only to win a reputation for magnanimity, but was trying to gain the favor of the admirers of Ibrahim. Secretly, however, he set spies to watch Ibrahim's every move. At times also he would indulge in sarcasm and remind Ibrahim that he had spanned a kingdom. Khakilian is interpreted rightly. Mamoun even went so far as to mock Ibrahim about the darkness of his skin, and his Negro ancestry, though Mamoun was himself rather dark, and like most of the Abaside dynasty was of Negro ancestry, more or less distant. "Art thou the Negro Caliph?" demanded Mamoun, one day. To this Ibrahim quoted the words of another poet: "Though I dare my soul through its noble nature is free, though my body he dark my mind is
Mamoun replied: "Uncle, a jest of mine has put you in a serious mood. Blackness of skin cannot degrade an ingenious mind, or lessen th. worth of the scholar and the color of darkness claim the color of your body; I claim as mine your fair and cauldron. But Mamoun's secret persecution continued. At last under this cruel treatment Ibrahim decided to take a step that he hoped would quiet all suspicions forever: He applied the post of court singer. This indicated that he reinforced all hopes of returning to the throne. Mamoun who was really an admirer of Ibrahim's voice, was glad at the prospect of hearing his brother, and accepted the offer after some pretended objections because of Ibrahim's ancestry. Nevertheless even after Ibrahim had become a public singer, Mamoun's spying continued. One day, however, the chief spy, who en under Ibrahim's spell took occasion to place under the spell of the Prince Muncher, a poem written by Ibrahim. Mamoun Falls Under Spell of Poem, translated reads
"Stream, flowing lightly and freely, someone has hindered thy course, and thy waters no longer low free. 'Bird, which once in air, that hitherto gave afar from the path that leads to the source.' When Mamoun saw this he was touched at the very discreet manner in which Ibrahim had referred to the harmful effects of the surveillance, and being a great survivor himself, and really one of the greatest of Caliphs, he gave Ibrahim the reef.
It was then that Dbrahim began his remarkable journey as a singer, poet, poet, and one of the people.
(The literature on this great artist of Islam is an extensive one. It has been possible here only to touch on the high lights of his earlier title in the concluding installment, but he is related his no less marvelous career as one of the greatest singers of all time.)
Watch for the last installment of this great feature.

CHILD TRAINING—THAT MES-
SAGE TO GARCIA
"Mother, I've got a knot in this old
shoestring," a five-year-old's voice
floated out to a busy mother in the
kitchen, and "oull have to come
home."
"Keep working at it," the mother answered, "and you'll get it. That's another message to Garcia."
A patter of barefell and the son stood before her with flashing eyes. "Mother, you know that story is true. You just made it up to get me to do things I don't want to do."
or that, after assurance that the story was true, the little boy decided that mother was playing fair and patterned book to the living room.
After a short, silent period, he called, triumphantly, "Well, I put it through." This lad was inculcated to give up a disagreeable task or a hard task too long. One day the mother had told him the story of a lieutenant who at the beginning of the Spanish-American war had travelled through Cuban junta. The story was to General A. vivid picture was drawn of the jungle with its snakes and wild animals and its dense growth of tropical jungle. He told how he had not even heard Garcia was but how he struggled to find him.
He was very much interested and mother finally suggested that when there was something hard to do he thought he simple to do it just it was. The message to Glenna and "put it through." That was a new game and it appealed to him. It worked too. The incident contains a suggestion for training. This small lad was already responding to life, real life. Unaccustomedly he was acting upon the principle that he knew many an older person at a difficult task. "If somebody else did it, I can."

WATCHING THE BIG PARADE
WATCHING THE BIG PARADE
By RALPH MATTHEWS
Dear Lord, it isn't often that I bother you in any of my columns, but as today is *Thanksgiving*, wouldn't feel right in passing you up without giving credit where credit is. I want to thank you, personally for some of the good things this year has brought you, but that time you are inadequate to express my real appreciation. But my heart's in the right place and you are big enough and liberal enough to overlook the gram-
That, Lord, is one of the things I feel thankful for. I'm kinda glad you're a sort of self-made man and didn't get your learnin' in college. The world is not exactly perfect, not that it couldn't be if you were so, but I feel it is. You have been a lot worse that it is if you had gotten a lot of degrees in world building before you started on your career.
A. Self-Made Man
First of all, you would have probably belonged to some Greek letter society and when you started handling out the good things in your life the members might get all the fraternity But being practical, like you are, everybody seems to have a half-way equal chance. Of course, Lord, I can't help thinking that when it comes to dishing out our good things, I seem to be sparing, but I don't think you really intend to be mean. I rather think that you're just trying to teach us a lesson and proclaim to appreciate the bigger things you've got in store for us way off
But just between you and me, Lord, if you're holding back any big surprise you've got for me now, or for me now, if it's all the same to you.
A Little Information
Lord, I know you're pretty busy and ain't got time to be looking after everything, and maybe the assistants you've not aint as interested in their work as you are, keeping you posted on that it's going on down here. I know that, Lord, because as particular as you are and as fair and square as you try to be, you are not for a lot of assistance that's going on here behind your back.
I know there ain't nobody called your attention to all the lynching and mob violence that's been breaking loose down South. That's not ain't what you need, Lord. I know you can't lose with a flood down there sometime ago and wiped out the homes and cattle and all living things, but it don't seem like it much good. The good they are, they are just as big as are, because, instead of praying and asking you to forgive them for their meanness and promising to do better, they goes and appeals to Congress for flood relief and they going to build up dams to keep back the waters.

time to keep up with politics, Lord, but I think you ought to know that a lot of colored folks turned Democrats here in Baltimore last election in spite of the fact that the Republicans had a dry plank in their platform. That looks pretty bad for the cause of righteousness, but I don't think you expect so much out of Maryland, anyway.
The idea was, Lord, that the jim crow car law was to be repealed, colored policemen were to be appointed, and the county teachers pay was to be equaled. While I did not put much stock in these promises I did not. Lord, to sort us your influence to help some of these things materialize as you are the only one who can do it.
Preachers Ain't Doing Right
Now, I don't mean to be a tattle-tale, Lord, but your preachers down here aren't doing a bit better than they were the last time I wrote you. They seem to have lost the instruction, and I wasn't even first started out. Lord, if I was to tell you some—but then I ain't for getting nobody into trouble. I'm just gonna let you handle 'em to suit yourself. They started out here several months ago, last June to be exact, to create a fund to help establish a museum, and I have some place to work after they graduated, but there was so much wrangling as to who was to handle
the money, that they abandoned it altogether. Now, Lord. I know you don't want no agents of yours carrying on like that. It casts a terrible reflection on the home office, Lord, and you can't blame nobody for not wanting to go there when they die.
Please Help the Poor
Honest, Lord, I didn't mean to take up your time with three trivialities, but somebody ought to be man enough to see situations are down here so you can check up a little before they get out of control.
What I really intended to do was to thank you for the many blessings we are now enjoying and am sure you will take care of the poor this winter even if you have to let Wall Street struggle along by itself until spring.
Good-bye, Lord.
From your devoted servant.

Watson-Dixon, Wedding Anniversary.
Dearest Pansy:
When we opened our eyes on Friday morning, Thanksgiving, like a carriage of flowers, opened her festivities with the gazes of tunes, and camped right on our doorsteps. We were so many things to do, and so many places to go, that we were in a whirl as to where we would begin and where to stop. We probably packed everything into the few hours between dark and daylight. We did the adelphian dance — never to be missed; the W.W. Bridge party, that just had to be attended; and oodles of us s.a.ling and motoring down to Hampton for the game.
Adelphians Dance is Loveliest of Season
Nothing could have been more gorgeously groomed by the Elsie 'Bone' Homes. I am not attempting here to tell you about the swanky cars, and in the rst gorgeous but if you could have seen the lovely ladies being handed from their swanky cars, and in the rst gorgeous Thomas in a silver brocade with white fox trimmings — Anna Coulson in green tafelts, dancing from Boston and is the son of the distinguished attorney of that city — the Blanche McRae wearing flowered net — Virginia Hall in gold lace — Ella Burwell and radeille Wilson in a Murphy in a gorgeous black gown with rhinestone shoulder straps. Satin or was it egg shell? And Thela.

Special Survey Shows Whites in Som
White men and women,
particularly the latter, are
"underselling" colored labor and
replacing them in domestic and menial jobs without loss of caste, according to a survey of the Urban League which finds more than 330,000 unemployed in 25 large cities.
The League, which compiles frequent reports of the industrial fluctuations affecting colored workers, has found that the larger centers, such as Chicago, Cleveland, Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and New York, have been affected more greatly than the smaller cities having no basic industries.
Races on Edge
The net result has been the arousing of racial antagonisms and the colored workers, the large part of the beneficiaries of charity because of their inability to get work, declares.
The following data shows the extent of unemployment in certain local fields.
Washington: The Salvation Army reports the jobless among the colored people is increasing, with 80 rapidly hotel cropping each night.
Wilmington: The Chamber of Commerce estimates there are 1,000 jobs without work.
Springfield. Mass.: White girls have replaced colored men a. and waiters. elevator operators and waiters during the past five years at a rapid pace.
Philadelphia: The number applying or work for the first nine months exceeded by 20 per cent the total last year.
Detroit. Approximately 4,500 families are receiving doles from the city.
Advice Given
To stem the tide against the unemployment of the group, the Urban League has intensified its regular industrial service along certain
the improvement of the quality of service rendered is one of the suggested emergency. The movement to promote accepted vocational guidance standard where they can be made available to : youth is also an important aspect. Amount of the special activities inaugurated by the national office are: obtaining emergency and p t-time with employment created by governmental agencies to help the jobless; providing temporary relief for families of unemployed, and serve as a house for administering relief.
No Work for Colored
Appeals for relief are on a steady increase, some being met, but officials find it very difficult to find work for them. The state's courts. Normally, one out of every eight wage-carniers is colored, and the race should receive, both for its welfare and for the restoration of stress, its normal share of employment.

power of the group is being lowered because they are receiving a smaller share of the work, and an increasing racial irritation, the report concludes. What is more evident than that the colored line must be taken out of industry. Violent competition between white and black workers comes to the front in times like these to prove the weakness of an industrial system that pushes one group forward at the expense of another. The real this artificial barrier is the challenge to American industry."

Bauschmierd, secretary of the Public School Association, there is no hope of developing an adequate recreation work among colored people as long as the present situation exists. They also asked that as soon as practicable the complete colored division be taken over by the BI-Elacr or some body in sympathy with providing proper recreation to people of color proportionate to the population ratio be allocated from the general recreation budget for this work.
Split Foreseen
For some time members of the Bl-Racial Committee have been discussing the advisability of asking that the work be divorced. Dr. William Burdick, executive secretary of the P.A.L., it has been pointed out, has never favored, development, the New York-based organization has expended more than $230,000 yearly, the largest amount spent on colored work has been set down by himself at $7,000.
The question of money spent, however, was not the only point of difference between Dr. Burdick and the Bl-Racial Committee, but the policy of having responsible Negro leaders to conduct the work should have been pursued by him. It is said that he does not regard the Negro group as having developed to the point where it can conduct programs of this kind, despite the fact that it is being done in many cities throughout the country.
Reports from the department show that the five workers employed as a return of the Bl-Racial Committee are the most efficient program which has already touched many thousands of people here.
DAD CHANGES HIS LOVE FOR WIFE TO DAUGHTERS
The story of a father who transferred his love from his wife to two daughters was revealed in the Dundalk police court, Tuesday, when Mrs. Stella Pope faced her husband, Ellicott Pope, 36, with charges that he had seduced their 13-year-old and 14-year-old daughters. The unnatural love of the father for the daughters came to the surface only after the affair had been going on for some time, and the father had left the home for two days.
Under Threat
It was at this time that the girls, who said that they had submitted to their father's desires under threat of physical harm if they told their mother, gathered the courage to reveal their dreaded secret. Of how the father made love to his daughters, she showering them with careses, was admitted by him when he was arrested in an old abandoned cabin where he had gone in a fit of despondency. Immediately after being told, the mother sought police aid. At the police station he declared that he had changed and why he desired the affection and secret companionship of the daughters instead.
During the whole time when the girls were being summited to his abuse, it is said, he never allowed them to be alone with the mother. He never left the house when she was there, and he frightened them into keeping the affair secret until he left last week.

They therefore want which one, from their efforts, no matter how lush the native. Certainly, healthy-bodied citizens are an asset to the community in which they live. The service rendered the individual is, of course, beyond value.
NATIONAL BENEFIT, therefore, deserves much acclaim for instituting this advanced service. It is sincerely hoped that the experiment will allure and grant its spread throughout the NATIONAL BENEFIT field comprising twenty-seven states.
The primary purpose of this new service, according to the offices of the NATIONAL BENEFIT field, is providing care under directions of attending physicians to policholders siring from acute conditions, whether medical, surgical, or obstetrical. Actual nursing, visiting Nurse will give givy instructions to the family on how to care for its sick and how to prevent the spread of communicable diseases.

Her headquarters are at the Branch Office of the NATIONAL BENEFIT at 1301 Pennsylvania Avenue. Her leasing personality, professional expertise and this field of service give indication that she will make the work an imme- fate success.

DEFENSE WORKS TO SAVE LIFE OF PRICE
New evidence which was not presented in the first trial and a more careful mental examination, will be depended upon to save Lorenzo Price, shell-shocked war vet, accused of assaulting Mrs. Dorothy Burgess, white, and slaying her companion, Reuben Heyman, on January 4, from the hangman's noose when he goes on trial for his life the second time next week. Price was found guilty and sentenced to hang following a sensational trial in which he testified that he had killed Heyman white, in a car on the lonely Cold Springs Road, before Pears had to meet her in the Drudg Hill Park and the three had driven out to the place.
TO FIND WITNESSES
Efforts to find witnesses who can substantiate the testimony of Price that he knew Mrs. Burges and had been in her company several times before the attack, the police said, were elected in the former trial to use the murder case first. It is predicted that if he escapes conviction on this charge, he will later be tried on the rape charge, one of the counts against him. Mrs. Burges was killed in the killing罪 assaulted her twice as she sat and talked in the car.

Federal Council, Attacks Unemployment Problem
"While we recognize that the whole country is suffering from unemployment, the evidence coming from many places North and South to our office shows," announced the Federal Council on Race Relations, that Negroes are furnishing a larger proportion than others in the army, of the unemployed of the country, of the color prejudice works.
At a meeting of the commission's committee on economic life last week it was voted to send a letter to Colonel Woods offering support to the President's National Committee on Employment.
As you know, the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America represents the Protestant church, through its constituent bodies, has access to all communities in the United States. It has a commission on race relations which has been working some time on this issue in the constituent community.
At the last meeting of the commission's national committee on economic life it voted to offer to the President's National Committee on Employment during the duration of the unemployment crisis. The Commission of Race Relations is in touch with fifty communities in different sections of the country. While these communities are antonomous both in their programs and organizations they look to this commission - for suggestions and guidance - Council has issued, a set of recommendations to churches throughout the country on the unemployment situation. And other racial groups should be accorded equitable treatment in the distribution of work and relief. 2: Any payment of lower wage rates or maintenance of wages should be mandated to break down present labor standards should be discouraged.
