Revelations which may result, in a scandal involving certain well known undertakers and former attendants at Mt. Auburn Cemetery came to light this week when James F. Hall, present manager, found that a lot had been resold to at least four different families, some of whom had never received their deeds for it. The condition came to light when William McKinney, now a resident of Boston, came here to make preparations to bury his wife in a lot he had purchased several years ago when his mother-in-law died. When a grave in the lot was opened it was found that three other bodies had been buried there, despite the fact that it had been sold outright to McKinney. Big Profits Investigation by Mr. Hall showed that the undertaker had sold the lo to Mr. McKinney for $39. The regular price of the lots are listed at $25, he says. The methods used by the undertakers enabled them to so re-sell the lots and make, profits from $100 to $120. In the McKinney case, he was given another lot, and when Mr. Hall went to exhume the body of the mother-in-law, that it might be buried in the same lot with her daughter, wife of the husband, it could not be found. Investigation, however, disclosed that the mother-in-law had been buried over, Miss Minnie Dix, whose grave had been walled in with brick by her relatives. Marble Slab Although Mrs. McKinney was buried on top of Miss Dix, a marble slab marked the grave as the burial place of Miss Dix. Investigation being made by Mr. Hall indicates that there have been artifacts of this kind. Some time ago the trustee board of Sharp Street M.E. Church, which controls the cemetery, placed it in the hands of Mr. Hall as a result of complains made to them. Just what steps will be taken in this matter could not be learned this week but a complete check-up will be made and it may involve prominent people in the city, it is said. No Records At the office of the cemetery: at Sharp Street Church, no records of a for having been sold to either Mr. McKinney or the Dix family could be found.

SMITH lary, rest and conference rooms have been augmented by a modern kitchen and library. The main auditorium with its influence of Gothic columns and arches has lent itself admirably to painter's brush and stencil. Low hanging chandeliers and well limned give light whose suffused glow covers the entire interior with a softness and chastity, and blends with the sanctity in keeping with the spirit of religion. Across the entire front of the alfar the organ has been constructed. The organ has three manuals and is equipped with climes and hard-sounds. The pulpit and choir loft have been re-arranged to conform with the other changes in the church organization, and naturally has caused much discussion. From December 26, 1926, when the late Dr. M. W. D. Norman died, until September, 1928, the church was without a pastor. The Rev. Smith was installed pastor September, 1928, and his first acts were to re-organize the church business basis. The success of the Metropolitan building program has proved the wisdom of this step, and the membership is jubilant in its enthusiastic approval.

Rogers' NEW ABYSSINIAN RULER'S PANTS OF RED AND GOLD Rogers Describes Tafari's Review of 100, 000 Soldiers. RACE IS NEGRO No Question of Abyssinian's Color By J. A. ROGERS ADDIS ABEA, Abyssinia —In America men's clothing has the usual drab colors. But when the Emperor Haile Selassie reviewed his 100,000 mounted troops during coronation week, he wore pants of red and gold. Seated on the ground before the royal tent upon slightly raised cushions, with splendid carpets covering the ground before him, the Emperor wore a flowing long mane helmet. The man's head was in the center showing the helmet of gold with a golden chin strap. His mantle was of crimson velvet, richly ornamented with gold lace and edged with golden tassels. Under this was an Abyssinian shamma, or native wrapper, a cheesecloth-like material. Then came the famous pantaloons in red with gold stripes. His shoes were of patent leather. At his side AMER AMER STORE hung a golden sword, the hilt richly ornamented with jewels. On another round some distance away sat the Empress Menen on her blue throne, surrounded by her at-tendants. Abyssinians Negroes All of the coronation ceremonies, and those preceding, were marked with great dignity and would have been an inspiration for any colored American. Let me make this emphatic, the Emperor, the Empress, the Crown Prince and nearly all the word "colored" means in America. All are darker than the average American mulatto with hair of the same. I have seen hundreds of thousands of Abysinians and in their ensemble they show much more of the African in their make-up than, say the Northern Negro. The great coronation spectacle begs you an exhibition of horsemanship. Bodies of horsesmen on fleet gray animals dashed after one another in mock combat, throwing shields and performing feats in the saddle, swinging lightly from one side to another to get advantage the enemy, or reaching over to pick up a spear from the round as the horses do. Then came a great body of massed cavalry before the Emperor armed with spears and shields. They dashed to the foot of the hill where their chief sat shouting their war-cry. They didn't stop there, up the hill they came madly, a picture of rearing horses—a thrilling sight. Arriving there, the front riders dismounted, rushed near to the foot of the throne, began chanting, dancing and brandishing their spear. Im reality, they were reeling to their Emperor the account of the battle in which they had taken part, of the enemies they had killed and promised to do the same thing again for him whenever he called them. In 43 the Ethiopian hands followed by a body of lancers, the Ethiopian pennant at the end of each lance. These men wore white helmets, white coats, kaki pants Macon Physician Jumps Straddle Auto; Injured MACON, Ga., (CNS.) — D. W. A. Davis, prominent physician here, suffered a broken rib and an injury to his ankles. He was abused by an uncle, whom last Wednesday, Davis, according to witnesses of the accident, broke all records for high jumping. When he discovered that he was going to die while crossing the street, he jumped straight up in the air and landed on the radiator of the car, smashing a headlight and receiving his injuries. All were made to jump straight up if ever caught like that, and I practice what I preach," the doctor said, while being treated at a local hospital. and were all mounted on bay horses. Behind them came other lancers on grey horses, followed by others on still dark horses. Then came the infantry clad entirely with three thousands of well-drilled infantry in khaki, their brushing hayonets glistening in the sharp sun and other mounted lancers Somali infantry, in tall skull-caps and khaki. Sound Like Cannon Next came a rhythmic booming which sounded like the sharp discharge of cannon. It was the native drum corps mounted on mules, their huge drums strapped before them with a small drum near the rider's knee. The big drum they heat with curved sticks. Red predominates in the color of the drummers and the sight is thrilling. Whoever heard of a drum corps on mules? Behind them came great bodies of massed cavalry with spears and muskets, and color of the armaments and that of the strappings of their prancing horses gave a richness and variety almost indescribable. The throng of soldiers seemed endless. Certainly there was over 100,000 of them and perhaps other, too, with muskets and armaments far heavier than light except for the fact that the Emperor, weary, arose and went into his tent, ending the exercises. Scares European Horse Going back to the drum corps mounted on mules, it was such a strange sight that it frightened one of the six horses attacking the Hungarian day crown. The horse became unmanageable and would not respond to the Hungarian coachman, so he had to be unharmed some time before he could startled well, so there were only four horses attached to Selaselle's chariot. Charge Love Wife Killed Bootlegger **ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.** - Battered into unconsciousness with a hammer and then hacked to death with a meat knife, Lilyulian was home at an apartment house at 709 Baltic Avenue, Sunday night.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, December 13, 1930 STILL LOVE WIFE, SAYS DR. BECTON, WON'T SEE HER We're Water and Grease, He Declares. PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — He loves his wife and for that reason fears to see her again, G. Wilson Becton, evangelist, at Tindley Temple said Monday. Dr. Becton had said: "I had hoped that it would never be necessary for me to make further statements for the public concerning my matrimonial affairs, but since I have been asked by the AFRO-AMERICAN my reason for not seeing Mrs. Becton when she called on me week before last, and since I have been asked by the AFRO-AMERICAN I am releasing the following statement for publication provided it be quoted as I word it. Refused to See Her "Mrs. Becton called at my address Tuesday, November 25, unannounced after having been seen in my revival service the previous night. She was received cordially by my business manager Mr. Davies, to whom she stated she desired an interview with her husband, and to understand that her name might be cleared from all of the gossip that was afloat in order that she could live in peace with God and man. "Mr. Davies prevaled with me to see her. I advised him to say to her that I would be pleased to talk or do anything I could for her, but I could not stand a chance. I was the strain of this heavy revival in which I have been engaged for six months. Urged to Write It "I also advised him to tell her to write me and I would assure her of an immediate reply. There is positively no ill-feeling in my heart toward Mrs. Becton. It is a plain case of incompatibility of which the Almighty God knows all plus another condition which I do not choose to mention to the public. Mrs. Becton is a very good teacher. She with a God-given talent for singing. I do not feel that she should be hampered in her life's program. Celibate Life "As for me I have, returned to the calibate life with nothing in view but a full service for God. I find that my original power with God has returned which I marvelously being demonstrated in this present revival. Still Loves Her "My second reason for not seeing Mrs. Becton is this: I am still human and I love her. I am determined that my human love shall 'not stand between me and God's service; so the longer I stay out of her sight, the easier it will be for me to get my mind complete off." I will stand agony during the four years of our private tempestuous voyage. Near Suicide "Three times was I almost driven to suicide, and when I, think of anything that has the appearance of returning to such a life it makes me nervous. I certainly would not try to impress the public that it was a one-rooming. Mrs. Beacon and I suffered together. Mrs. Beacon and I suffered Water and Grease "It was a plain case of water and grease. My third and last reason for not seeing her is this: I have had the same experience with Mrs. Becton in the past. After she had quit me and went to Memphis with the understanding that we were separated because I would not make her my business manager. "She wrote me. I refused to answer. She called me over long discontent. After I advised her not to come to Birmingham to see because the town was stirred and I tried to arrange for a meeting some place after the revival was over for a talk. She came in the midst of my heavy revival. On Her Knees "I received her and after she had pleaded on her knees for a reconciliation, with the promise of coming out of some things that I shall not mention in this statement. I buried the past and we became reconciled. I kissed her her word. However, I snuck it out, leaving the affair in the hand of God. Very Dramatic "Mrs. Becton is a woman. She is very dramatic and knows the art of working on a man's sympathy, her hearted to hold up under her tears and pleads when I know they do not mean anything. Therefore, I do not choose to discuss this matter face to face with her without legal protection." Prays Every Day "There is not a day but what my prayers go up for her. Whatever true statement she wishes me to make to the public in her defence I am ready and anxious to make it. I am never released and had she called it public her call on me and caused me to be asked for a reason for my stand." Yours for the uplift of humanity, (Signed) G. WILSON BECTON.

When I went to a dance, which was seldom, I used to sit around and wish some fellow would ask me to dance. Not many of them did. I could dance pretty good and I just didn't see why they gathered around other girls but seemed to pass me by. It worried me and made me very unhappy, so one day I asked one of my best friends for the reason. She told me frankly that it was because my skin was dark, coarse and covered with pimples...she said this made me unattractive. She also told me how to improve my condition quickly and surely. SHE TOLD ME HOW TO CLEAR UP MY SKIN "I followed my friend's advice. I went to a drug store and bought a package of genuine Black and White Ointment and Skin Soap and started using them that very night. I continued the treatment faithfully...and I was encouraged to see my dark, pimply skin become clearer, smoother and lighter each time I used this amazing Black and White skin treatment.

PHILLY NUMBERS QUEEN WITNESS CAN'T BE FOUND PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — (ONS) — The strange disappearance of Alfred Bryant, who made a statement imprinting Agnes Stein, white "queen of the Numbers racket" here, has baffled the police departr.ent. The woman was to come up for trial Wednesday, but the non-appearance of Bryant held up the hearing. Bryant had a number of lottery tickets, and he was among several months ago. He signed a statement saying he had been selling them as an agent. r.Mrs. Stein, who lives at 6514 N. 16th Street. Police said Bryant "for some time" were dredged. Bryant was released on $500 bail. TRI. is the sixth time the case has been set aside for further hearing. Bryant's $500 ball, which had been put on mysteriously furnished collateral, has been forfeited. But that won't make much difference to Aggie Stein. Police say she made much money in a week at the "numbers" racket. Aggie Stein is 38. How she built up her huge number business is still a mystery to police. The week before her arrest she was said to have deceived her. She was held by an unusually large proportion of her customers turned up. This resulted in a flood of complaints at police headquarters, which, in turn, led to the arrest of Bryant and his confession. Shortly after she had been charged with murder, she a lottery, Captain Reinhardt, of the Germantown police; she had tried to bribe Sergeant Gordon and himself. According to Captain Reynolds, Mrs. Stein offered him a job, saying if he would allow her to extend her operations into Germantown.

No Anti-Lynch Law President Hoover's recent statement of his position on law enforcement is interesting to him, and he has hoped for his support of a Federal law against lynching. He said that the report of a government measure to extend Federal jurisdiction so as to cover racketeering was unanimous. He said that laws of its own and the responsibility for enforcement is on each," the President stated. "Any suggestion of increasing Federal criminal laws in general is a reflection on the sovereignty and the stamina of state government," he continued. In turning a deaf ear to the appeal of Mr. Monroe Trotter and his delegation, and in declining to carry out the Republican platform by recommending to Congress anti-lynching legislation, it is conceivable that Mr. Hoover is coincidental. He is saying to mobs what she said to racketeers: "each state has ample laws of its own and the responsibility for enforcement is on each." And this we can interpret to mean that as the White House reform calling for a Federal law against lynching is another scrap of paper. President Hoover's recent statement of his position on law enforcement is interesting to those who have hoped for his support of a Fords' law against lynching. He said that the report of a government measure to extend Federal jurisdiction so as to cover racketeering was untrue. Each state has the right of its own and the responsibility for enforcement is on each," the President stated. "Any suggestion of increasing Federal criminal laws in general is a reflection on the sovereignty and the stamina of state government," he continued. "Murning a dead ear to the appeal of Mr. Monroe Trotter and his delegation, and in declining to carry out the Republican platform by recommending to Congress anti-lynch legislation, it is conceivable that Mr. Hoover is consistent, giving to mobs what he said to racketeers: "each state has ample laws of its own and the responsibility for enforcement is on each." And this we can interpret to mean that, so far as the White House is concerned, the plank of the G.O.P. platform calling for a Federal law against lynching is another scrap of paper. Medals for Sheriffs At least one sheriff has declined a medal for saving his prisoner from a mob of would-be lynchers. The New York Nation tells the story of an Alabama guardian of the law whom the Interracial Commission deems to be "to do kill him politically" the sheriff's friends demanded.

' Hampton Sentiment Recaching over the heads of many efficient presidents of smaller colleges, professors and associate professors, Hampton Institute's board of trustees went up to Dartmouth College to get Dr. Arthur Howe, white, an assistant professor of citizenship and elevate him to the presidency of Hampton. He is anything in the training or the achievement of Dr. Howe which equips and qualifies him for the new post, it is not at once evident. And the president of Hampton must help administer a $10,000,000 endowment, run a $1,000,000 plant and direct a mixed faculty in a Southern State, while it gives 600 students of both sexes collegiate, normal, technical and industrial training. And for this task Hampton trustees picked no expert administrator, no educator skilled in relating theory and practice, no master and genius in the field of race relations, but instead a stripping whom trustees recommend because he is besides youth. Dr. Howe has one other thing in his favor. He is the son-in-law of the late General Samuel Armstrong, founder of Hampton.

Labor and the N.A.A.C.P. Unfriendly President Herbert Hoover, who nominated anti-Negro Judge Parker for the Supreme Court, is mum on lynching, and has refused to pose with colored delegations which wished the White House, made still another hostile gesture last week in naming Mr. William N. Hoover as the nominee of the position of Parker affronted Organized Labor as much as the Doak nomination, because former Presidents have not named Secretaries of Labor which the American Federation of Labor opposed. When Mr. Doak's name was suggested last month, the N.A.A.C.P. known its objections to Mr. Hoover, who ignored them. Labor was treated with more consideration, but its recommendations were finally discarded. Fresh from the Parker fight, but not made rash by victory, the N.A.A.C.P. and Labor offered to the Doak confirmation in the Senate. It is clear that they will not let Mr. Hoover choose his own battleground. It is also clear Unfriendly President Hefbert Hoover, who nominated anti-Negro Judge Parker for the Supreme Court, is mum on lynching and has refused to answer questions about the White House, made still another hostile gesture last week in naming Mr. William Moak, of Virginia, as Secretary of Labor. The naming of Parker affronted Organized Labor, but he was known because former Presidents have not named Secretaries of Labor that the American Federation of Labor opposed. When Mr. Moak's name was suggested last year, the White House knew its objections to Mr. Hoover, who ignored them.

Fresh from the Parker fight, but not manned by the White House, Parker offered only verbal objection to the Doak confirmation in the Senate.

It is also clear that they will down the road for a final show down presently. 400 Auction Sales Between 400 and 500 Methodist Episcopal Churches throughout the country will be sold and congregations evicted, unless help come quickly, the Home Missions Board discovered in its Philadelphia meeting recently.

No Whitewash of Haiti There is no whitewash in the report of the Haitian Government whose report on education in Haiti was made public by the U.S. State Department last week. The report deals in a straightforward manner with the educational activities of the American Occupation—lists its accomplishments, together with the accomplishments of the commission. The commission found 300,000 of 400,000 Haitian children not in schools; no high school except in cities; teachers' salaries of $5 to $23 a month; no military school and practically no normal schools for teachers or schools for teachers and teachers. The commission admits that America made a mistake in going to Haiti and setting up a separate educational system not subject to the Haitian Department of Education, that this American department is incompetent in some cases because of inability of some American teachers to speak French, and unwilling to place competent Haitians in high places requiring the exercise of responsibility and initiative. The commission's sixty-one recommendations designed to give Haiti an adequate school system include immediate placing of the American made educational system under the control of the Haitian Department of Education, the increase of salaries, U.S. appropriations for the department, and the ability to help Haiti carry out a long term educational program to a successful completion under a new joint Haiti-American Negro committee. The Barbey Commission corrected U.S.伞的 punishment mistakes in Haiti. The Moton Commission points the way for Urcle伞 to correct his educational errors. The entire report is a document which goes to the heart of the Haitian difficulty. It is a splendid piece of work for which the American people owe thanks to Dr. Moton and his four fellow commissioners. There is no whitewash in the report of the Moton Commission whose report on education in Haiti was made public, by the U.S. State Department last week. It is a straightforward manner with the educational activities of the American Occupation—lists its accomplishments, together with the objections of the Haitians. The commission found 300,000 of 400,000 Haitian children not in school with schools in the country, balances of $5 to $25 a month; no military school and practically no normal schools for teachers or schools for training of priests and pastors. The commission admits that America made a mistake in going to Haiti and setting up a military school in the Haitian Department of Education, that this American-made system is overstaffed, extravagant, incompetent in some cases because of inability of some American teachers to speak French, and unwilling to place competent Haitians in high school, by using the exercise of responsibility and initiative. The commission's sixty-one recommendations designed to give Haiti an adequate school system include immediate placing of the American school system under the control of the Haitian Department of Education, the increase of salaries, U.S. appropriations for American teachers now in Haiti, and a further subsidy to help Haiti carry out a long term mission in the Caribbean.

JEROME DOUGLASS, Head Bellman, Galen Hotel, Atlantic City. Doesn't Agree with Nance Burroughs about Amos 'n Andy. To the Editor of the AFRO-AMERICAN: It is unfortunate that writers who are in a position to have their works published do not have the power to speak out against the slanders of Negroes. Blaming "Reds" for marriage of white heirs is hick, and it seems very strange that supposed intelligent people persist in the practice of portion of the population whose only fault is color. It is unfortunate that writers who are in a position of authority are attention to the silly rattle of the slanders of Negroes. Blaming "Reds" for marriage of white heiress is bunk, and it seems very appropriate to promote the power of the population whose only fault is color.

Baltimore, Md. G. LINCOLN SOMERVILLE> Radicals Are Right. Some Religions Not Worth Much. Hats off to Darrow. To the Editor of the AFRO-AMERICAN: The AFRO-AMERICAN is beginning as it should (and it is one of the few papers that is done in the world) and the most essential things. It is discussing politics sometimes, the labor situation and other vital things necessary to help a people situated as the Negro is to go wild. It was proud to read the report in reference to Clarence Darow in your paper showing that this so-called agnostic had the courage to send a telegram to the management of the All Star Forum, which held a meeting November 18, at Washington, D.C., at which Negroes were only to be at the call. Mr. Darrow emphatically declared he would not speak on the subject, "Why I Am an Agnostic" unless colored people could purchase seats where they so desired. Strange to say, Rabbi Abram Simon, who was to explain why he was a Jew, Quit O'Brien who was to speak on, "Why I Am a Catholic," and Jason N. Pierce on, "Why I Am a Protestant," all refused to send a telegram. This proves what the radical Negroes have always said, that the white man's religion whatever brand is not so forth a dama and doesn't prevent him from being being a segregationist. All Negroes should take their hats off to Clarence Darrow. He is one of the most persistent, fearless and indefatigable champions of human rights in this country. Philadelphia, Pa. L. F. COLES.

COLES Suggests Men with the Mencken Spirit to Cooperate in the Work of the Local Branch National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peers To the Editor of the APRO-AMERICAN: There are more white men in this community than black men. I have a friend of our group, who are radical and devoted friends of our group. I have often wondered why the leaders of our group did not search for one of these men, because he is a resident of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Such is the kind of leadership that we need in this community. We re-educate many of the whites, and certainly, a white man of brains and character who believes in the equality can accomplish more, where it is needed than any other of our group. To illustrate: Few of our group members realize that Black people have the improved housing conditions of the Negroes of Baltimore. I count Mr. Brown, a Black man, and many of the friends of Negroes in this country. In this matter of better housing for Negroes, he was the pioneer. I present but a few extracts from his pen, in the issue of the Evening Sun, April 21, 1915. Said he: There are more white men in this community than is generally believed, by the members of our group, who are radical and devoted friends of our group. We have never held our leaders of our group did not search for one of this character and induce him to become president of the local branch of the National Association of Black Men. Such is the kind of leadership that we need in a matter of this character. We have got to know the people who are white men of brains and character who believes in justice and civil equality can accomplish far more, where it is needed, than any member of our group. To illustrate: Few of our group realize that Henry M. Mencken, possibly more than any other, responds to the Negroes in the Negroes of Baltimore. I count Mr. Mencken as one of the foremost and bravest of the friends of Negroes in this country. In this matter, we need housing for Negroes, he was the pioneer. I want to present but a few extracts from his pen, in the issue of the Evening Sun, April 21, 1915. "In the past, that problem (Negro) has always been approached ignorantly, and usually dishonestly. On the one hand, we have done nothing whatever to improve housing conditions for Negroes, and on the other hand, we have proceeded against them furiously whenever they into better quarters." "The high death rate in Baltimore is due almost entirely to the Negro, not only directly, but also indirectly. He is full of germs himself, and on the other hand, he is forever infecting white persons. This abhorrent state of affairs will continue for a long time, and the lack without adequate air and sanitation and often without adequate water. The death rate is high in the wider streets adjacent is a good deal higher than it ought to be." Pardon the allusion to the writer, but I must give it in connection with what he had to offer Said in the passage. "In this connection, and entirely without invitation, I am able to offer two suggestions. One is that the investigation of the body of the dead is done by some one trained in Germany, where problem has been dealt with more effectively than in the rest of the est resource to "moral" rumble-humble. The other is that an intelligent Negro, familiar with local conditions, be invited to participate in the inquiry into the state of the Ne "Going further, I nominate the Rev. Dr. George F. Bragg. I have no acquaintance with this colored pastor, but in the course of his work I have seen proofs of his influence upon his own people, and have attained to a high respect for his prudence, sagacity and good citizenship." We ought to search for such men of the white race in our work, Mencenk and solicit their help in a work which is for the benefit of the entire community. Baltimore, Md. GEORGE F. BRAGG, Jr. Haitians Heard Balloting Over the Radio Haitian President=xat Election Quiet and Orderly by Newly Elected National Legislature Populace Rechoice. By LORENZ B. GRAHAM PORT an PRINCE, Haiti-Stémi Vincent was elected November 18 to the high office of President of the Republic of Haiti. His inauguration followed immediately. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians in all parts of the island gathered to hear the counting of the ballots as broadcasted from the assessor's office and the government radio station HKH. For the first time in 15 years, Haiti has a president elected on the first time in the memory of this generation the entire process was attended with no signs of disorder. Although there are over a dozen disappointed voters, as a whole seems to be satisfied. Sixteen Senators, Thirty-four Deputies Haitian law prescribes that the president shall be elected by the members of the two houses of the national legislature. The 16 senators elected in October 16 convened in one body on November 17. A deum at the National Cathedral preceded their meeting at the National Assembly which was attended by the diplomatic corps in full dress uniforms. The resignation of Provisional President Eugene Roy was received by the nation for his services to the nation. Roy was popular and servicable as President but he was not a politician and he was not a candidate. In every city and town: in the country the government has set up radio receiving sets with powerful and powerful microphones to public place markets. Programs consisting of health, education and welfare subjects are sent out regularly but this is the first time that the whole population has been able to listen in on the intimate affairs of state. Cold Hearst Rattle of Unfolding Ratets Attentive crowds of eager listeners heard the roll call of senators and deputies, the short speeches of nominations and some imagined they heard the dropping of the fifty ballots, cast for the new chief of state, the governor, so good the "tuning" of the radio system that the rattle of paper was heard as each ballot was unfolded before the name it bore was read. Those who could not write kept the ballots with marks on the ground. Four ballots were taken before a majority of 27 was counted for Vincent. "Vine Vincent!" Cries of "Vive Vincent!" rent the air. Guns were fired and fells were rung. Even those who had shouted for other candidates forget to mourn the loss of their friend with the vistor. No betting was in evidence, so few if any lost money on the defeated favorites. On dissenting voice was heard. "On dissenting voice Vincent!" mocked a young man who might have been a philosopher, a clown, or a drunk. "Today all the world cries 'Live Vincent.'" he went on in the French patois of the island. "Testamentary," Mayard and 'Live Jollsbis.' Where are Mayard and Jollsbis today? Are they so soon dead to the world? How soon will all the world cry Down with Vincent? All the world is tool Immediately following the first burst of cheering the president-elect came into the room. He was nominated and inaugurated in the course of half a day. Lawyer, Senator His Excellency Stenio Vincent has been in public life for many years. He was a diplomat and has served abroad as a diplomat and at home in various offices. At the time of his election he was a senator, representing the Department of the Interior, and Port au Prince is the principal city. He is a man of education, culture, and especially pleasing personality. He is a bachelor and is apparently a graduate of the University. The biggest problems facing the administration will have to do with the American Occupation and the treatment of a constitutional government.

Hoover's Lily-White Policy Persists; Negro Side-Tracked The Recent Appointment of Doak to a Cabinet Place, a Plain Indication of President's Purposes. BY KELLY MILLER Precede by KELLY. President KELLY's Negro policy, or lack of policy, must be read between the lines and between the acts. He has at no time given formal expression nor has he deigned to discuss the matter with any Negro organization or spokesman. The Lily has which he选出, indeed permit him to vote for the Republican party's candidates, but would deny him any voice or say in shaping the policies of the party. He has adopted this policy in order to compete with the Southern people. In this policy and purpose he is persistent. Three members of his cabinet come from the South. He appointed Mr. Huston of Tennessee as chairman of the party, thus placing the management of the party's affairs in his hands. That arrangement went awry was no fault of Mr. Hoover's. In furtherance of this aim, Judge Parker, the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States. Again his plan miscarried, but his purpose persists. The recent assignment of Mr. Deak to a cabinet portfolio, special counsel may run may her. No Hope of the West; He Turns to the South. He Turns to the South. Mr. Hoover believes that Republic can success must rest upon its constructive economic policy embodied in the protective tariff. He can offer only palliatives to the agricultural sector, and the constituent bloc in the Senate convinces him that there is no hope of holding the great trans-Mississippi states to the basic Republic doctrine. Blocked at the Mississippi River, the state must seek expedition Southward. With this object in view, the Negro has been side-tracked, both North and South, by so renominated to succeed himself. His triumph at the polls will depend upon how he finally lines up on the wet and dry question and the political situation. There Be Negro Voters but No Negro Vote The serious question for the Negro to ponder is whether any other prominent, Republican, or Democrat, has succeeded in his place, in the political scheme. There will be very few Negro delegates at the next National Republican convention, and probably none at the Democratic convention, and no approaching parity on this issue. There will be Negro voters, but no Negro vote. Individual Negroes, here and there, are the most prominent case in Houston, Henderson, Mitchell and Coage, but merely as individual attachments, to the tail of their respective senatorial kites. The position of the race as such; no consultation with Negro leaders as to the formulation of policies; no promise of any prominent positions such as was the case in the Republican spokesman, and no referee; no mention of the nullification of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. Of course there is to be no disjunction with the Southern revised constitutions. Leadership Now, my my diagloss is correct, how many and what is he going to do about 10? Several courses of action are open. He may bolt to the opposing party in order to erase friendships in their possession, very well, doubtless do this. He may stay within the party and urge the nomination of a candidate whom he re-elected than Mr. Hoover. Few will have the courage to do this. Or he may fail to complacently compliance with Mr. Hoover's white-ly policy, if it is not about the way things are trending. About the way things are trending. The Negro political leaders, if there be any, lack the energy, enterprise or motivation to promote original action. The shows any signs of independence and reliance on race sufficiency is Congressman Oscar DePriest, but his is唯一 a voice crying in the wilderness.

CHIPS FROM THE QUARRY **Recently The Proofreader Talks** **Recently I examined about a dozen daily papers to see how many, if any, of the sport columns use the plural form of the noun referring to a team (as a whole) or a college in reports of football or basketball, to not find one. Invariably the noun forms, "its," were used. On the other hand, rarely do I find the correct forms in the in-actives even from our educational capitals and corersomes: It is true, these "theys" and "theys" are not used generally, get into the AFRO which makes me wonder whether I the papers, which I examined the changed the plural forms to the singular as is done here when permute it, gives me that the name does not realize that "Lincoln" or "Howard" or "Fisk" is as used in these reports merely the name of the person who was originally the name of a man. It is more tolerable to say, "Howard to say: My Lincoln put on their hat, meaning his own hat," if the name of college isn't in the singular name of our grammars are meaningful. There might be some possible justification for saying: 'Hold put in my team!' on the same grounds that we refer to the S n as masculine or the Moon as feminine (personification, the those of us who had the opportunity to attend one), as our Alma Mater (fostering one), as our form is out of the question. The plurals in these accounts are due probably to the habit of using the third person singular common gender, for which,—as pointed out in the quesiones guessed in the book—but for which the masculine forms are authorized by all competent authorities. Firstly, the form is not one of the college forms, specially should set a better example. Darrow Talked of White God Before University Students White God* Attends Lynchings, says Darrow, and He Bea- Never Helped. Where Was He, He, Lawyer *r* Asks, When Your Ancestors Were Dragged Into Savernau? By LINN A. E. GALE "If there is a god, he is white. So don't depend on him. Depend on yourselves." Clarence Darrow leaned over the speaker's desk in the packed carcass of Howard University in Washington, D.C., and passed to his wife. students. The silence that' reigned seconds until he returned speaking was almost uneany. Nobody bothered him, and the dreds who wanted to clap their hands in emphatic approval. The atmosphere was sense-tense with the growing thinking, stirring youth of a pressed race that agreed, most of them, with Darrow, yet did not dare so revolutionary a sentiment. Prayer No Good "Prayer won't do you any good, remarked Darrow. What your needs is education, as good pay as you can get, courage, perseverance and as many of the material needs and comforts as it is possible to obtain. I am not saying that you should not give to churches if you want to, but I am saying that, with the little money the Negro has, he should consider material, practical things very carefully. He must have them if he is to continue to progress. You might make out a budget, apportioning so much for education, so much for physical necessities, so much for heaven, if you will, but not for getting to put aside a fair amount for the realities of the earth." Hearty laughter was heard all over the hall when, in the course of sledge-hammer blows at the "superior race" myth, Darrow said with that inimitable irony of his: "Of course, if one is white, he doesn't need to understand this. One doesn't have to be logical if he is white. He's more has to be white." Color is Geographical "Race!" Darrow shrugged the shoulders that are bowed with the burden of long years of fighting for the right to ski. "There isn't any such thing as a race. Any intelligent biologist knows that. How ridiculous to think that a race is created, a black bane, a red one, a green one, and so on. Science shows us that Nature, in endless time—and in endless climate, men with black skin in the tropics because they could better stand the heat. Color is a question of geography and climate. That is why the races of skiing differ. is Nonsense "As for race superiority, it is nonsense. It isn't a question of superiority.

J. JONES, Prop. PICKENS SCORES ROSENWALD HEAD FOR VA. SPEECH Southern. White Man NOT "Best Friend of the Negro." TAX ISSUE UP Negro Schools Robbed of Millions. DR WILLIAM PICKENS NEW YORK.—The Southern white man is not the "best friend of the Negro" as Edwin R. Embree, white, the president of the Rosenwald Fund, said when dedicating the five thousandth Rosenwald School for Negroes, and in the State of Virginia. Of course, Virginia is a good place in which to say things like that; they like to hear that in Virginia. But that does not make it a true saying. An African who was recently visiting Virginia, told them the plain truth: that Africa should be sending missionaries to Virginia, instead of the reverse. The Virginians did not like to hear that, and so they immediately proceeded to prove the truth what the African had said by resorting to violence and driving out of their state. Now, there is no doubt that Mr. Rosenwald is one of the Nego's best friends; and the writer has no doubt that Mr. Embree also is a very good friend to the Negro. Mr. Rosenwald has proved his friendship by more than five thousand and by which are known the proof of friendship, and that Mr. Embree has done, and will do, many acts of friendship toward Negroes. Make Mistake But even one's best friends may make big mistakes—sometimes in their very zeal of benevolence. Mr. Embree is simply mistaken when he says, unqualifiedly when he says, the white women are the "best friends" who are really meant is, that the Southern white man has the best opportunity, of all the white people in America, to be the best friend to the American Negro: he has more Negroes at his very door than has any other white man; and there are relationships between the Southern white man and the Southern Negro. Only a Plain Idiot But are they? That is another question. Nothing but a plain idiot would accept lynching, segregation, disfranchisement, and nearly every other known method of tyranny and social torture, as act of "friend- His Best Friends For Mr. Embree will not dare to pretend not to know that the average Southern white heartily desires for the Negro: segregation, jim-crowism, non-participation in government and schooling of a lower grade than that for white people. About 89 out of every 100 of the Negro's "best buddies" were, and are, appalled by a Federal anti-lynching law, at least 99 out of every 100 Negroes were in favor of it. Isn't the Negro a mullish animal to be so diametrically opposed to the judgment and wishes of his best friends? Their Tax Money Mr. Embree also said that the men who were "once masters" are (or ever have been as a class) supporting "hospitals and schools for people who were once their slaves," and "with such experience, he proceeded to tell how, out of $25,000-000 used to build these Rosenwald schools, $14,000,000 came "out of tax money." Which context would leave a very clear impression upon the minds of the thoughtless that these generous institutions millions of "their own" tax money" to support Negro education. Who Pays Taxes Who in the world PAYS the taxes for example, in Mississippi? Because the white man there is the sole "ix-collector" is no logical reason for White Owners Raise Rent for Tenants NEW YORK, (ANP) — Three-room apartments which have rented to whites for as little as $3 per month, have been jumped ten dollars per month on advice that colored tenants were seeking them. Others have been raised accordingly, but this is a great reduction on the average price. Here in town where $45 and $50 and even $60 are asked in some of the houses; depending upon the location and age of the house, for three-room apartments. supposing that he is the sole tax-payer. In fact, his advantage as "collector" and sole controller of the taxes are proof sufficient to those who know this world, that he will not do all of his share of the "paying" and that he will more than his share of the tax benefits. The Southern white man has paid as taxes a smaller proportion of his wealth than the Negro has paid, and the white man has received for his own education. a much larger percentage of what he has paid than has the Negro of what the Negro has paid, and this were there would not be been any need for Rosenwald schools especially for Southern Negroes. Not Just Share The "tax money" diverted to assist Mr. Rosenwald in building Southern Schools for Negroes, represents only a part of the Negro's just share of the public school funds withheld from h': children and given to the whites. Indian Seer Raps U.S. Criticism Says American Negroes and India's Untouchable Share Allike NEW YORK. — America was taken to task for its inconsistency in protesting India's treatment of her "untouchables," when she adopts the same attitude towards its Negro population.

SCHUYLER BEST DuBois too Bitter, Johnson too Diplomatic. By EDWARD G PERRY NEW YORK (T3P)—Although he has painted many celebrities, O. Richard Reid, who is doing a portrait of Henry L. Mencken, finds the well known critic the most interesting of all, he declared. The celebrated iconoclast and editor of the American Mercury sits on a dias for two hours, twice weeklong at the Rock Studio, Fifth Avenue. During these two hours, while Mr. Reid is creating his likeness, he discusses on happiness, love and the Negro. Most Polite Man The artist finds Mr. Mencken a keen observer of character. "He is the most polite man! he have ever known," he said. Mr. Reid also said that Mr. Mencken had a deep and profound sympathy for women. Some days Mr. Mencken will discourse on happiness in its various forms. "Now, there's a Negro who lives near me," he said, "who always wanted to be a barber. For years he worked in a shop to buy a barber's chair. He couldn't save enough but refused to be defeated. He bought a creaky kitchen chair and one razor and established a shop on the sidewalk. He scarcely has a customer and is almost starving to death. He loves to strop his razor with big, slow rhythm strokes. He does it by the bury. He is one of the happiest men I know." "It takes very little to make one happy," said Mr. Mencken firmly, reverting to his premise. "Now, take Hester. She lived on about $15 a month. They bought her off. If they took her out to the country on the poor farm, she was right melancholy and started pining away until they took her back to Baltimore. They found out she didn't like the country because she was too much for her parades again and is perfectly happy." Schuyler is Best Sometimes Mr. Menken discourses on Negro writers for Mr. Reid. He believes George S. Schuyler, is the best; DuBois would be a great writer, but he is too bitter; James Weldon Johnson is too great a scholar and diplomat to succeed as a writer, while Walter White is an excellent propagandist. And of course, all of these discussions please Mr. Reid. Great, because his mind runs in a philosophical trend, and the Negro is one of the subjects. So while Mr. Menken sits for his portrait, in a dark blue suit, light blue shirt and a tie of a darker shade of blue, the artist gives him a "lead" when the conversation slackens. His Own Theory O. Richard Reid, who was born in Jacksonville, Fla.; studied art in Philadelphia with Samuel Fleshers' Graphic Sketch Club and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Like most artists, he has his own theory on painting, limiting it to portraiture. He believes a portrait should not be a photographic copy of the subject, although it should contain some resemblance. Mr Reid said he does not imitate the believers he has in art, which he is in a treatment born of the artist, thus interpreting his subject painting not only a likeness, but a creation. Many Celebrities Many celebrities have been subjects for Mr. Reid's portraits. In included in this list are: John Hayne Holmes, noted liberal churchman and pastor of Community Church; John Hustle, famous writer; Henry Goddard Leach, editor of the Forum; Jules Bledsoe, concert singer and the "Old Man River" of "Show Boat" fame; Walter, White of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Barry Burr, family member; Frank Fay, music and Broadway actor; and Ferdinand Q. Morton, New York City Civil Service, Commissioner.

By twelve o'clock, the event was permitted them to remain open, would not have afforded even breathing space. We spent the first half of the evening dancing. Vernon Andrades Orchestra, who had about one hour past midnight, the program had its share with Alfred B. Lind, the director of the ballet, Burton, a Junior Happy Heart, gave a dainty interpretation of "Nobody Cares if you blow flowers by the club. Thelma Scott, a member of the Norma Girls, brought us a ballet named "naming me" who perpetrated the "Rape of the Savages," and was likewise given a dance of the club officers formed a perfect "A" in the center of the floor. Each in turn stepped out of his line and performed a dance, aduction, a special walk for the club was played, and the members danced with their assistance of a silver loving cup to the club by Leut. DeKalb of Company I, of the club, and the banding officer. The club danced their hats, and after presentation, walked and around the troops, inspecting the spot of the evening was the appearance of Ethal Waters, star of "Blackbirds," for the club presented her with a lovely bouquet of American beauties. Last on the program, the club presented her with a newly organized enterprise, composed of charming young ladies, immediately after the Harem Ace Club enjoyed first half of the next waltz with them. The guests joined in the second half, and on we arrived home, when tired and weary we triped home.

B : RIENZI B : LEMUS NEW YORK—Misery is fast obliterating the race and color line here. America's greatest city's bread-lines are lengthening, no great effort is being made to keep tab on the aggregate totals. Salvation Army soup-kitchens benefit for "White collar" workers, destitute clerks, professional folk, salespeople, bookkeepers, still applv for help — informative, presently or prospectively. Three weeks ago, the police — with their slow but sure and accurate check, still out of work, with dependents, out of work and destitute. The number thus located is now over 50,000. They are in all Loreaux of Greater New York and of all races, creeds — what not? Agencies Behnd Relief agencies cannot catch up with the acute demands made up on them for succor. Organization and system are prized for their ability to out serve the needy today are swamped by the hordes of destitute tomorrow; and it is beginning to affect a fellow's equilibrium. We are moving helpless persons among whom one recognizes more or less friends of a prosperous yesterday who, even four months ago, were planning for the big "whimbrel griving Glassie" and whom nobody on earth could have convinced a year ago of their need to beg now. This misery is reaching; upward, or the next upper group is coming down to it. 300 Pairs Shoes, 100 Hats There are black folk downtown and white uptown, in dire need; and what's most impressive, looking after one's own, so to speak. For example, the need for old shoes for the quite bare feet at Abyssinian Church's welfare station caused an appeal to those who had old shoes to spare to them. Among the first to respond was the Greek proprietor of a Harlem shoe repair and hat shop, who was 300 years old, which had become his in law because of failure of original owners to reclaim them. He gave them to young Amos. He had unclaimed hides, and the shoes lasted no longer than seven persons could — 'Scribts' them where they were most needed. Clothes for them and wide-spread Harlem's needs are, can be easily appreciated by the appeal of young Mr. Powell from the pupil of Abyssinian Church, to the children for the little children; and this appeal is given ample collateral when one stands a little while at the Salvation Army's 135th Street Home and notes the conditions the children have for the free soup to carry to their elders who are unable to attend themselves. Provides Work by the Day The T. R. D. Rockefeller's which last week, does not disburse doles and rations but — as already written to the AFRO finances employment, by non-profit institutions. It provides for three days' work provided at the respective rates of $5 and $4 per day. Its administrative burden down in east 21st Street. 16.000 Placed Up to the end of last week, the Prosser Committee had placed 16,000 persons, of whom 1,000 were colored, the later cleared through the Bureau. As more colored than white were placed, proportionately, it is not only clearly indicates lack of race and color, but also reveals how many people now concomitant, have worked. Depend on Churches The perspective, however, doesn't appear non-profit, in that clearly the Harlem-colored folks duty to provide the jobs and materials for the unemployed to get the P. Sizer Committee money. Theira non-profit institution is served by churches; to churches; and some passors appear strongly to feel that furnishing of jobs and materials convey the right to "shine" in the Emergency Work Bureau office downstairs which is not conceded to preachers who either clergyman, priest nor rabbi. Attack League Last week, some Harlem preachers complained of the way things were handled in the vicinity and in their lives to have been eliminated as relief dispenser. The result, nevertheless, was a conference in which it was definitely decided to keep the Urban League as the primary committee's "Harlem Glidering House." Unemployed, with dependents, are cleared through the Urban League. whether placed by young A. Clayton Powell (jr.), or young Father Bishop. In the past, the payrols are "keyed" by industrial secretary, Allen, of the Urban League — which isn't handling clothing, shoes, etc. These things are received, collected, distributed, reception of Messrs. Powel and Blishon. It is hoped that nothing will stand in the way of that needed co-operation among non-profit institutions to supply Prosser-paid jobs for Harlem's needy with dependents; as it required a sergeant six policemen to handle the crowds seeking employment at the Urban League last Mon- Hotel Helps Girls Generally, black Harlem — that part still above the misery line — is nibly responding to succor of its, stricken men, women, children. Proprietor Edward H. Wilson of the Hotel Olga has donated sleeping commodities to the homeless in this well known hostelry, while owner Charles J. Jones, of the Rockland Hotel, turned over a large store on the premises to the Bishop group to use for storage and distribution of resuscitation kits. **Black Overline:** Police and settlement workers still serve overtime investigating disposes orders; quit. necessary to prevent those who can pay rent from malingering on the community's trame distress, and manned them been a result. In most cases, rent to prevents eviction has been paid by the police out of the units collected by the Mayor Walker. Committee, partly provided by contributions of one per cent of their pay from all city employees. Apple Butterfly. Apple butterfly and "bootleg" — still sell the fruit on the streets. A situation, somewhat humorous, has developed with the absolute need of many unemployed beggars of normal times — the lame, the halt, the blind — are termed "picturcats" and told to stand back and give a "needy" man a chance, a chance, a chance, and obviously healthy man tends to appeal more directly to the sympathetic than the blind person able to hire an attendant to lead helpless individuals his tin-cup receiver of pennies. Nevertheless, the distinction is invidious; a sound man is better or than a legless, sightless fellow, however desperate the former's present plight. Keep off Streets World depression misery is iridious and endearing; city goes indiscriminately. A close observer can discern the gradual changes along Seventh Avenue Harlem. Promenadeers move much quicker than the streets so much because they cannot meet the increasing demands for help. COLUMBUS. OHIO REPORTS N.A.A.C. P.I.L. IFF MEMBERS NEW YORK—C. E.

DUNBAR THEATRE MANY DANCING WIVES HAD TO SUE MATES Split of Paul and Thelma Meeres Recalls Similar Act of Brown and Marguerite. WHY do male dancing partners make such bad husbands? That's the question that is being asked throughout the country, following the announcement of beautiful Thelma Meeres that she had obtained an interlocutor decree of divorce from her handsome husband whom she will keep as a dancing partner but not as a hubby. Pretty and talented Marguerite Brown of the team of Brown and Raymond in March of 1908 took similar action against her dancing partner and spouse. Herbert. They just couldn't make it as husband and wife, so they decided to call it quite so. They tried to business. After completing a week's engagement at the Howard Theatre in Washington, they cancelled their engagement with Irwin C. Miller's wife, and that strangely themselves off to Chicago where they told it to the judge. Here He Is, Girls A. PAUL MEERES, handsome young Adonis, whose wife sued for an interlocutory decree of divorce when they found themselves unsuited as man and wife, but okey as partners. Johnny Goes Phifft Rumors around Harlem have it that even Johnny Hudgins, the master of the dance, was a wife, Mildred, who, during her husband's Parisian success was acclaimed the best dressed woman in Paris, and was married to the handsome The handsome St. Nicholas Avenue apartment was broken up and Mildred went her way. Johnny, who was miserable soul at home and his jealousy, according to Harlem gossip, is said to have driven his wife not only to distraction, but out of his life entirely.

He subsequently landed for a spell in the tombs in New York at the height of his suc- cess because he failed to support his illegitimate offspring, a juvenile dance- ing sensation himself, known as Jazz Lip. Uply rumors murmured this way from Chicago tell tales of some unsavory mess into which Ralph Cooper, the clever master of ceremonies at the Regal Theatre, got himself when a young white woman died under terrible circumstances two weeks ago. Shocked Night. Rounders The rift between the Meeres team came as a shock to Harlem night-lifers as the young couple seemed to be devoted to each other. Paul was originally of Nassau, Bahama Islands. He was once with Green and an aunt, and then with the painter Meeres went with "Razel Green and Her Cadets," a "wow" Ofay act. Van immediately took his claim before that powerful theatrical last court, "Equity," and they decided that the services of this act belonged to Van. Consequently he went with "Al Van and His Gang" on the Fox Time. He has appeared in his earlier acting days with several musical "tabs," was at Club Alabama, and appeared in Africa, being brought from Chicago. Later he was with the Australian Dandies, an Oiay turn, being billed as the "Cyclonic Charleston Dancer." His name was featured as a headliner and in the lights with this act. He also played a "sax." He teamed with a wife and was a Hot Chocolates." They also made a tour abroad. Moret and Spencer What happens when a dancing team splits and a new one has to be interviewed by Al Moore who, with his new partner, Amy Spencer, appeared at the Renalissance Ballroom Saturday. "You think that Maurice had trou 1 bles with his dancing partners? Well, he did, but he had plenty of partners to pick from for successors to those who deserved them. He had handsome young chap as he changed his dancing clothes immediately after performing—the ringing applause still sounding through the closed door of his dressroom. "My first partner was Freddie Washington. Well, you know Freddie got married and for a while I was at a loss. But one day I met Ms. Spencer doing her routine and learned that she had been doing some studying. "Immediately I got in touch with her and asked if she wanted to work with me. But my first work began. I had to start right at the bottom and teach her my steps first to familiarize her with the work. Of course, you realize the specialities and I am no exception to the rule. Trying Hours "She was an apt pupil and it wasn't long before she picked up the ideas I wanted her to acquire. The rest was easy, but those first lessons were hard. For hours we would practice, first with a little victoria: at my apartment and then later with an orchestra. "The first night she and I appeared in public, she was as nervous as a girl making her first appearance on the stage. The floor in our number, she lost that fear and became so absorbed in her work, the dance was finished before she knew it had begun, and the applause that followed 'thrilled her so she needed no urging to do an en Apt Papil "Miss Spencer is a finished dancer, there are few tricks that she hasn't mastered. Her specialty as an adagio dancer is to play with none of herimitators have succeeded in copying her style, nor have they been able to acquire Miss Spencer's grace. She is one of the best dancers in the world, and experience as a professional dancer. "We have been busy since we formed our team and our next enquiry into the entire season. Oh, we, are in great demand for charity dances and other benefits and we try as far as possible to fill all of them." Miss Spencer of Moret and Spencer, this team has won a high position in the theatrical world as dancers of merit. Interesting is the story, by Moret, the manager of team. The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, December 13, 1930 ON THE SPOT! Bv GEE DEE Backeteers of the 4th Estate After quite a bit of deliberation I have decided that the members of the editorial editors, critics and amusement writers should be one of the first to feel my gun, so here goes. For several years the profession of a New York theatre manager were comparing their own write-ups and reviews and passing them over to the newspapers. This being the case they employ competent men at the theatric: desk. After much kicking and protesting, the writers began to handle their own reviews, even attempting to criticise. New York boasts of a group of critics and each one has the idea that he is better than the other. In this group we find some writers that are more competent than the stage and a means of expression. These include Salem Tutt Whitney, Romeo Daughtery, Chappy Gardner, Benny Butler and Floyd McNeilson, many of whom are their mimes are most prominent in the minds of all readers. Analyzing this group we find that a battle constantly rages between Salem and Rome, which both emerge safe and sound. Salem, actor, poet, producer and writer should lead the rest of the gang in a thorough knowledge of the Romeo, a fine chap, tries to keep himself in the limelight and forefront as much as any of the actors involved. He is not through a frequenter of the Florence Mills Theatrical Association, he failed to count them in on a benefit held recently by the Rev. Shelton Bishop and I know for a fact, however, that he had promised to cut them in, and I heard him say: "You know I'm all looking out for the performers first." At present all is quiet on the front between Salem and Rome, but war is ongoing any day. They are just like that. Chappy Gardner, free lancer, exactor, is the man that boasts that if you want anything, see him. He took to task for having lamed Lew Leslie. Some claim that Chappy was following Bo's instructions, others believed he was wrong, and don't believe it because Chappy himself told me just how he was greeted and handed top price seats when he went and sat in the room. Old Kennish Custom Then they is the Tattler boy, Benny Butler. Benny has a funny way of getting even. Because of a failing out with Lenard Harper, he had a harpy rove that was really the cats. Also he finds delight in rapping the chorines because — well, that's not my business. That other fellow — one that has quite a host of friends — Floyd Snelson, is a nice fellow. Ah, one great fault, hitting the bottle, and I don't mean milk bottle. The writers are handed their checks each week from their respective rags — beg padron, I mean papers — but quite a few get theirs by pan-handling the persons they A once respectable game has become a racket. Columnists have sprung up over night. Editors have combined the sports with theological deepens to underestimate the value of publicity in the Negro press because of this, and rightfully too, because the writers try to panhandler the performers until all confidence in their writings and the paper he represents is lost. A nice bunch of fellows, the New York writers, even to the latest addition to this group, Tyler of the AFRO. I will run through it before the New York boys will put him on the spot in the very near future. PHILLY MIRROR BY KENNEDY YARROLL Nina Mac Mackenzie and Roland Holder's appearance at the Pearl Theatre last week, made a decidedly entertaining evening.

Tom Heflin Trying to Establish Segregation in Celestial Regions. WRITING for the Associated Negro Press, Mary G. Brite has written a series of "Heavenly Discourse" that accomplish in literature what "The Green Pastures" has accomplished on the stage—an familiarity with the celestial world, the following article she seeks to portray what Wendell P. Dabney, Cincinnati newspaper editor, would find should he, by any remote possibility, enter heaven, an unlikely doubtful experience for a newspaper The writer says: With apologies to Charles Erskine Scott Wood, whose "Heavenly Discourses" entertained and delighted, especially useful when one is obsessed with the unholy desire to shock response to numbers of so-called heresy. The battlements of Heaven. Outside the nearly gates. Time, the present. St. Peter observed peering anxiously and with a bewildered pressure broaching along the highway leading towards the celestial portals. As the soul draws nearer he bewildered expression gives peering one, of recognition, to the hastily snatches on the arm of his robe leading to his nose. St. Peter (as the soul draws near); I wasn't sure I recognized you until I smelled you other than my friend, Wendell P, Dabney, editor of the Union, in Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.A. the earth. Dabney (shaking hands) Glad to see you. St. Peter. I didn't know I was headed for you. I had always general depravity would mean a small sitting room in Hell instead of a mansion in Heaven. St. Peter: We may not be able to give you a mansion but we certainly for you. On Good Terms Dabney. Are any of my old friends here? I don't mean Teddy Roosevelt or Senator Foraker, or any of that gang. I mean Marvin Garvey, Pat T. Washington, Dumbar, T. W. Washington, Frederick Douglass, Uncle Tom, et al. St. Peter. Yes, indeed; they are all here and some others, too. Dabney. You don't mean it. Why people taught that Heaven was for white folks, not for colored people. Oh, there was a fiction that when one got to Heaven all racial and nationalistic lines was written, certainly no place for our people anywhere near the throne of God. St. Peter: It is clear you have received some very strange ideas. I can assure you that Paul Laurence Dunbar and I have received Dunbar is frequently consulted when any soul arrives who retains his worldly opinions regarding race discrimination. But W. P. you ought to have been suffusing off this mortal colt; the odor is quite strong. Dabney: I apologize, friend. You see it happened rather suddenly. I was having a little gathering of some of my friends on the UniCollege. DuBois editor of the Crisis; George S. Schuyler, William. Pickens of the National Association for the advancement of people; Conrad the poet, and some Cincinnati colored folk. The salad was prepared according to my own special recipe, which called for a touch of garlic. If I had had the faintest idea that I should have omitted the garlic, because I have a vivid collection of the distaste exhibited by others of my religious friends for garlic. However, are we to stand here calling all day? May I not be produced in the presence of God in the Highest? St. Peter: (Unlocking the peery gates): Welcome to Heaven: Come on in. (St. Peter and Dabney proclaim the day they approach the throne of God they note that he is looking quite weary and uncomfortable. A number of souls are standing front of the throne, and they mark the marks of a committee. Standing in front of the group is a soul whom Dabney recognizes as Senator Hefl of Alabama, exhorting Jehovah to oratorical voice with appropriate gestures.) Heflin Argues with God Senator Heflin: As I have attempted to point out to your Omniscience, the distinguished members of this committee whom I have, the honor to represent, are as one in this matter. The majority of the committee is from South—and by that I do not mean to cast any reflections upon those who are from the North—who are opposed to mixing the races. We do not believe that my good can come from my bad. I purity of the white race and the sanctity of the home. I myself, in my poor way, while on earth, en- SORRY, THIS PLACE IS RESERVED FOR WHITE WOMEN AND GIRLS deavoured by every means which my power, to oppose the growing sentiment for arm amalgamation with Israel, with Israel and no small degree of amazement whites and blacks mix freely here in Heaven, and we determined to present the matter to you and if we cannot come to some under-studying. God: (Wearly) What do you want? Senator Heflin: We want one part of Heaven set aside for whole people and a smaller and less desirable section set aside for the colored race. God: But all parts of Heaven are alike; no difference. Senator Heflin: But guess with God all things are possible; it will be quite easy for a difference to be made. God: But in such case the whole scheme of Heaven is lost. Senator Helin: Not at all. On earth all white people are supreme: colored people are supreme: black people. If that relationship kept up here in Heaven we are only retaining that to which both races are accustomed. God Too Jeally Monthed God: Have you met and talked with any of the colored people since you have been here? Senator Helfin: Yes, I have seen and talked with you. Did you observe any difference in their appearance from that of your own friends? Senator Helfin: No, I can't say that I did. But everyone knows that Booker T. Washington was a white man, and that black back here doesn't alter the fact that he was a nigger. God: And look at the way the colored people were treated on earth! Do you think I want the tragedies I saw continued in Heaven? Do you think I want lynchings and burnings and beatings in Heaven? Senator Helfin: But you don't seem to understand that the niggers brought three troubles on them that Biddefon me, Jehovah, for addressing you in this language, but it appears to me that you are singularly misinformed regarding how black men have raped and stolen and committed one outrage after another. There is only one one, and that is by maintaining the supremacy of the whites. The South has to its own many instances of justice meted out to colored men for their actions to wards white women. God: But these instances that are misused? Senator Helfin: Not entirely I admit, but when a nigerian confess that he had raped a white woman that regarded as evidence of his guilt. God: But Senator, I have heard that a majority of those confessions were made to do so because of the nature of the crime, compel him to admit guilt. What is your answer to that? Senator Helfin: A confession is a confession—what, your own Opinion? I think you are too mealy-mouthed. What is a black man—or woman either for that matter—more or less? Asks Advice of Jesus God: I am inclined to think you have not made a very good use for your side of the argument. In see what Jesus says. Gabriel ask my son Jesus to come here (Gabriel goes out to get Jesus out in the meantime Simeon and David throw the stone). God: (Welcoming Dabney) I am glad to see you. You are just in time to help me convince their souls—if such a thing is possible and even with me all things not possible—that there is a difference between one and another in Heaven or on earth; that the discrimination that has been built up is one that has no foundation in fact, but is due to a black psychosis that has been created and of which people seem to be having a hard time to rid Dabney: I have always been strongly opposed to race discrimination. To my way of living men and women are important believers, regardless of race. I impone my views to rank it to grant, the request of Senator Heffin and committee. I should dislike why much to be compelled to leave Heaven for Hell, although I have been led to believe I should not be compelled much out of there; and certainly if race crimination is to be accomplished here, the celestial mansions of Heaven will have no eminence for me.

The BLACK LILY by CORA BALL MOTEN John Northlington, athletic young adventurer, is wounded by a poisoned arrow while stealing through the walls of an INN. He is taken to the TEMPLE OF THE BLACK LILY. A mysterious lady is only in an altar cloth from the temple, saves him after he has killed the guard. She drops on him suddenly-from the lower branches of a tree and sucks the warm breath of the poison. He seems to be as the sweetheart of the man she poisoned. He is surprised, but together they make their way toward Ramon's camp. way to enter and sinister sounds tell them that Ramon is being put to the torment for seeking to take his sweetheart from the temple where she has been incarcerated as the CHOSEN BRIDE OF THE BLACK LILY. They seek escape when a piqure, filled with priests seeking the girl, comes around the bend of the river, and is upon them before they know it. A sudden rain drips the air about them. SYNOPSIS INSTALLMENT II Through the Jungle with the speed of a trained athlete John Northington cleared the space of black mud lying between him and the thick tropical undergrowth. A second leap and he was bending over the moaning girl. An arrow was imbedded in the soft flesh of her arm. With a single movement, he flung her to his shoulder and tore at the wrist of her arm was barbed. In spite of his stiffed mean of pain at the restant pull against her lacerated fish, John Northington's sting of ralston dart was not attention to that later. He could give most of his attention to flyfish now. A single飞鱼 gliding against girl whose body was caught against him that she had fainted from the pain. He was glad. The problem was simplified still further by this unconsciousness, need to have the knife made more difficult by her involuntary groans of Behind him the guttural cries were confused and excited. They were debating among themselves. It gave him the moment of time he needed to get his bearing. Inside the darkness had fallen. The night dangers of the jungle gave those hardy pursuers behind him. Death lurked everywhere in that black wilderness of poisonous growth and savage animal an nipple life. But something worse than death lay behind, not for him, but for the girl. Dolores Ramizie, betrothed of his friend and Ramizie, Ramon Montez, in whose service he had died dangerously during the war, had died and was still passing. For himself death, perhaps, or most surely, torture. But death in the end was not to be feared only fought. But for the girl— Boldly he stepped forward into the black darkness in the forest he was standing against his face. It was cold and clammy. A sudden scattering of leaves followed the eerie touch. A slithering lizard dropped heavily onto the path behind him. Somewhere above him, monkeys see a terrible jangle of chattering. A panther cat screamed far off in the night. John Northington passed, listening. The girl on his shouler lay imp. He could feel the warm smearing of oozing blood. Where were her wounded arm, humble, He raised his free arm to wipe the dripping sweat from his forehead. It brushed against a swinging vine. Desperately he needed trying to penetrate any deeper into this dense blackness. Overhead the tangled roof of greenery shut out every faint ray of light. No swamp need trying to moon or star would penetrate here. A sudden inspiration came to him. Laying hold of the heavy, arm-sized vine, he stood with his foot wall it caught in the convolutions just above the ground. Slowly, laboriously, fending the still unconscious gir' as best he could with his foot wall over her. I- began a groping climb. He knew that in the matted upper reaches of vine and tree he could find a temporary resting place. That is where he found the dangerous foes, he knew, but the chance must be taken. There was no question that the upper reaches of the tree were safer than the ground. He could be crueler than those grayed robes of the Black Lily, when this figny of their prey, as he knew that in the annual feast, had haked his Once, as he made his way upward, a big bat, dislodged from his hold, blindly with his wing against the face of the man he moved. He knew that he must stop soon, for the girl, once conscious, would be in horrible pain. Feeling he was alone, he discovered a lot of matted network that would bear their combined weight. He crumbed grogingly into the swaying platform of wing and trunk and settled himself as comfortably as possible holding the girl's body close. The Hostile Sentinel Scarcely was he seated before she moved restlessly. He spok sootheingly, as one does to a waking child who was unable to speak, to unconsciousness from troubled dreams. "It is all 'right', senorita. Take it easy now." With an involuntary scream of pain the girl shuddered from them. The arrow had been torn from the wound, the gaping wound was bleeding anew. As well as he could, in the darkness, the man tare strips from his shirt and stained the flow of blood. He had been dropped in the earlier part of his flight. There was nothing to do but wait till morning the horror of the night of fear and pain was revealed that John Northington never roroged. But as last it came to a close. When the horror of cold dawn crept like a ghost 'twelve', the 'rank green in- THE AFRO-AMERICAN tertices of the awakened forest. the man turned his attention to the business of going on. the girl, weakened byor' protest or help, lay in his bed time to time as he made his way carefully to the ground below. Once there, he was beyond walking. For a while he let her rest in a bed in a mold that formed the jungle floor. Then, very gently, he took some remnants of his tattered shirt and did his best for the wound in her arm. The girl only moaned falsely. She came from his crude attempt at first aid, he heard a sudden cracking of underbrush, off to his right. He straightened to attention, listening. The girl's eyelids fluttered. open. A look of unspeakable terror overroared her face. 'They hate me our trailancer,' she said. The guttural cried, in weinly carrying ululations, as if borne from tree to tree by some devil agency from an unseen world. With desperate determination, John Nixon seized the wounded girl once more and lifted her to his shoulder. Suddenly the woods seemed alive with grusome shouts and hairraising yells. They seemed to come from the woods, but no thought of direction but with the wild desire of a strong man for action in danger, carrying the girl limply dangling over his shoulder, he lowered the limbs of the trees whippe across his face and body pitiless as he plunged ahead, almessly. The sounds seemed to be closing in on him. The blood came in gases. Blood streamed from the cuts on his face and blinded him. The girl had ceased to cry out at the stinging blow on her chest, the low, swifting sounds caught her. Suddenly, the stream of water caught the light and was reflected to the half-blinded sight of the man. The water was strong of strength, John Northlington; the meaning girl held firmly by his left arm, broke through the tangled barrier of rank undergrowth separating him from the muddy bank of water. He found himself at one end of the horn of the same crescent shaped stretch of black slime from which he hurried flight the previous night. The scattered ash of a huge fire, near the tree-line and toward the center, stretched to the center of the stretch, until the weest presence of the smitzer group whose lone sentinel stood on guard at the prow of the beached pigeon. Before the floating man high up on the horn of the black beach at the point where he had burst through. The sentinel wrapped in his green grey cloak, was on the river, his bow held loosely in his right arm. At the sudden noise behind him he wheeled bringing the weson, already Simultaneously, John Northington dropped the girl unceremoniously on to the soft pigs strewing the bottom of the river, even. Even as she felt he leaped forward. The nearness and sudden surprise of the attack were too much for the guard. Quick as he was, he was too tight. The man was automatically dung high and wide by the quick lunge accompanied with a terrific blow to the chin. The deadly arrow, winged with the scarlet feathers of death, sang harmlessly toward the blue as the arrow had his full length in the black mud. In the distance the cries and shouts were growing fainter. John Northington stopped above the probe figure for a moment. The awkwardly impossible angle of the rolling head, half submerged in the mud by the force of the fall, was enough to satisfy cursory examination. The sentinel's neck was broken. He would shoot the arrow with the feathered arrows, the broad belts that grided the body next to the skin. Not until he had finished, did he turn to his next task: setting the heavy pirogue afloat, from where it laughed on the muddy bank. He turned on the bottom open bank-lustre, palm-dimensionally as he tugged and heaved pantantly at the cumbersome craft. But no word of complaint escaped her, "stocally closed lips. She knew that now was no time for carefulness or thought of them. Their very lives depended on the long, doing what it usually took twelve to no-drag the huge pirogue to the waters edr., and set it afloat. With straining muscles and sweating body the exhausted man jugged and pulled at the unwieldy vessel. At least, the much maneuvering and twisting it was hard to hit it on the slope of the slippery rise. The rest was easy. The weight of the heavy hollowed tree-trunk was the native built watercraft; cut into the water as if it were on the well greased ways of some ship-building, yard. FIVE-CARD-SUIT HANDS IN BRIDGE By R. W. TALIAFERRO Quite often we hold one five-card suit headed by the Ace-King or Ace-Jack suits. There was a time that a holding like this would be passed, but the minimum requirements for an initial suit-bid of one, but never more. A holding such as this gives the holdings of the trump and with that suit the trump or with a No Trump declaration. (Note: With a five-card suit headed by the allow the first round to go to your adversaries, you are practically assured of four tricks in this suit.) Then you bid a five-card suit headed by either the Ace-King or Ace-Jack. Even if your bid in this suit does not stand, your partner has the advantage of knowing which suit to lead and the ability of doubt in your mind as to the advisability of bidding these five-card suits. By strength, I offer the following example: 3rd Hand S 9-7-6-5 H A-K D 9-7-6 C A-Q-5 2nd Hand N W—E S 4th Hand S K-J-8 H K-Q-7-4 D Q-J C D-19-4 Dealer S 10-3-2 H 3-2 D A-K-5-3-2 C 7-2 You will note that if the Dealer bid one Diamond, the deal would bid one. No Temp and should go game. If Dealer passes, the deal would be passed out as Second Hand has insufficient strength to make an initial bid. The deal would not be strong enough to make an Original bid after Partners' passes. U.S. Recommends Red Quill for Rats The rat, which is classified as one of man's greatest enemies in the animal kingdom, has resulted as a result of the usage of Red Quill, which is recommended by the government. The rat is manufactured from perennial bulb that grows wild along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Rats take Red Quill readily, and so they poisoned bulbs and has no bad effect on other animals. To clear a premise of rats, the authorities have poisoned bulbs and the fumigation of burrows and hiding places with polsonous gases. To rat-proof buildings, they have placed burrows through which rats can gain entrance, to remove all garbage, trash and other waste upon which the rodents can feed.

Glue the wrong side of strips of velvet, or strips of cloth, to the bottoms of the chair rockers to prevent them from creeping. Once on the stream, the awkwardness became grace. It rode the smooth surface as easily as a water bird floating serenely on the boom of a kite. John Northington boarded it. His first thought was for the girl. As well as he could, he made her comfortable on the soft pelt, and that which the boat was propelled. With the skill of a native, learned from his friend and teacher in the art Raman, the painting man maneuvered the prince of the river and started down stream. Somewhere, he knew, miles and miles away, the forest jungle-hugging the stream on both sides now-ended on a wide sand beach. He moved to the clean sandy shore of the Atlantic ocean. Whatever lay between, he said within his heart, he would conquer. With slow, laborious strokes he sent the vessel forward. Higher and higher across the blue vault above the white hot God of Day. His merciless rays beat down upon his head and the girl lying stretched at Carefully drawing the paddle into the boat he let it float sluggishly with the stream while he donned the grey-green robe and hood that he had taken from the boat. He then placed the nylon piece well up and forward over his head. The warmth was offset by the protection it gave from the fury darts of the sun's heat. With infiniti, care and the hills of some broken arrow shrugs, a sort of awning over his gird and straightened to his task, and straightened to his task. The unguided pirouge had drilled with the current close in to the shore and so near to a wooed point projecting, the hand peering cautiously from behind a thick mask of leaves thereon, seemed to glare like two angry points of light directly into the started eyes of the man at the pier. The chard cut- At the same moment a harsh gut tural cry cleft the silence. END OF INSTALLMENT II END OF INSTALLMENT II Who are the Thirteen Most Gifted Negroes in the United States?

Persons born in this sign usually possess good physical constitutions they are capable of dealing much considerable nerve energy is present and, consequently it is up to these subjects to apply reasonable control in curbing nerves, collisions and restlessness. TAROT Personals of Sagittarius m is s gittarius m is closely, closely, date time, in eating, and never over-tax the mortal wages of the mortal wages of the **THEMENA** never over-tax the mental powers, as mental faculties will in turn bring on moody conditions and 'nervous troubles that may cause uncalled for illness. These persons should always consult the proper doctor when illness attacks, they should not waste the ears, throat, lungs and kidneys. They are also subject to hip-joint disease, varicose veins, swelling of limbs, rheumatic pain, and extremely great care should be taken of the herein mentioned organs. The talents of these people are many, for they possess an industrious and progressive nature capable of carrying the burden for men is law, for women, teaching, the women are also capable to becoming writers of note, especially fiction writers. A talent that most Saggittarians have is for music but they do not as a rule use it for commercial purposes did they would attain more success. The disposition of the women of this sign is a rule even. They love a. home and home life; they guard their possessions; they take interest in other persons' affairs. They are bright in conversation, their keen, active intellects keeping them well arest of all topics of interest. They are active in exhibitions, exhibitions, outdoor amusements. These women never harbor ill-nor bear malice, although they seldom ever forget an injury. These women are so inclined to industry, they feel fruity or irritable if not kept usefully busy. They make excellent stenographers, modifies, millers, musicians and teachers. The men of this sign have considerable amount of examination and it will pay them to study psychology and learn how best to use their mental qualities to attain success in life. These men usually love a home but few find lasting contentment, homes, desire to ever so often. Changes and travel, however, do these men a lot of good. These men are capable of being warm and affectionate on cold and sandy days, but not the next, not understand this in these men and they are of course naturally misunderstood and misjudged. These men love the outdoors, sports, games, affection, walking, motoring and mountains and valleys. This spirit is the spirit of the planners and is a good trait. A LITTLE STORY OF SUCCESS M a r i o n Wakefield, a beautiful d e b u t a n t e, sat in the living room a l l o n e. There had been much time spent in boarding M ar lion Wakefield, a beautiful d i butane, sat in the living room a l o n e. There had been much time spent in boarding school. She was seldom home on holidays, other than Christmas. However, toon- tion was Lincoln's birthday and she had been permitted to come home. A few hours' recreation was a pleasant surprise. "What are you thinking of, dear?" quired Mrs. Wakefield, entering the living room. "Of your kindness," was the reply. "We are having guests for dinner tonight. Do you remember meeting the Bentles last summer?" "The Bentlys of Chicago?" queried Marion. "Yes" was the reply. "Mr. Bentley and your father are old friends. They had not seen each other for sometime, prior to last summer. They will arrive at eighth-grade." Wakefield was a man of good character. He did not believe in education. His elder daughter had completed the fifth grade. She was unable to continue because her father would not allow her to work successfully financially, he had opened a small grocery store. It was in this store that the girls were kept, very busy and there were home duties to do also. Mr. Bentley, the sixth grade, the family, in the sixth grade, she had been taken out of school several times to help with the home work. Father Wakefield did not see the necessity of continuing when he was 16. "But Father, something may happen to prevent your progress here. In the event that it does, what will become in school until we have mastered one particular thing, we will at least have something to look forward to," she said. Mrs. Wakefield did everything possible to keep her daughter in school. In spite of the conflict with Mr. Wakefield, she had succeeded in sending her to school. Evelyn Bently was just about the age of Marion. She was not disturbed by this particular handicap. Both her parents were eager for her to obtain the finest education. Since their first meeting, they had been very good friends. "I shall never be as successful in life as you, Evelyn." "Why not?" queried Evelyn. "Because I haven't the advantage of a school," she discouraged. "As a man thinketh, so is he. Just feel that you are going to be a great lady some day. Say that you are going to win, and put forth every effort to win." During the summer of 1921, bushman diller, Mr. Wakefield had adopted the credit system. This created much confusion. He lost money and friends. These conditions forced their parents to work very hard. Discouraged, they went without accomplishing anything, worthwhile. A trip to Maine and an introduction to Evelyn's brother Gaule, made quite a few books of girls up for the summer. She became very popular and had held a prominent and popular place among the social set, before than before, she began planning for the future. Evelyn had said, "Put forth every effort to win." She would do what she wanted for some kind, then why not find here and use it? She could think of nothing better for the present. On the following day, Marlon began AMAZING STORIES The Author has below started a series of extraordinary hypothetical stories which: draw heavily upon the imagination but which plague the curiosity of the thinking reader, the curious of the traveler, the curious of the land, travel, when science will have achieved the 'impossible' in effecting frequent and comparatively easy communication with the planets Mars, and when life will have become completely controlled by the limitless Not only are these stories ingenuous but stimulate breath-taking thrills, by depicting the possibilities of life on the earth years after the present generation has become extinct. A student has written a plausible imagination and you must agree that he writes with astonishing reality. AS IS QUITE often the case, it is this morning only with great difficulty that I am able to realize that I have actually set foot on the frigid surface of the planet Mars; that I was in fact, a member of H. S. Turner's epoch-making expedition, which set out through the vast etheral spaces on the evening of September 8, 2030 A.D. At night the vast starry side, seen from the window, sparsely through the triple-decked throughfares of Philadelphia, along with the thousands of tiny red and green running lights which mark the entrance to the planet, seems like a fantastical dream! It is at such times as this that I find it expedient to indulge in a perusal of my evidence. Only a half turn of my chair, and it is all as easy as turning the wheel, hever, set his glass down and jumped to his feet. "Ah! he exclaimed, "it do honor to me esteemed one! Every courtey, at my perusal of my evidence, I do bring to a once more finger for the guest of your master!" "The pleasure is all mine!" I cried taking the indicated chair. - That of graciousness always did upset me back in my chair holding the fighter, Rather, I chuckle, for it is a tiny stone image of a little Martian woman sitting cross-legged upon a rough case, a pensive wistfulness that just bid good-bye to her lover forever. At once I think of Ioane. I shall tell you the story of Ioane and a romantic young buck Martian who was, in the command of His Goodness's airship Haggo, one of those huge fish-shaped aircraft which are standard with the Pragian Federation of Defence. Captain Pasag Isao Sio. I met him soon after, and he was the Messi Turner, Brown, and Heaton—regarded consciousness to learn that we had been reused from the wrath o' the Eslians, "the people soffice at our expanse and were now safely within the confines of the kingdom of Prauga, the greater of the two great nations of people inhabiting Mars" to the planet's crust, and roofed over with a glass-like material called Lanchy, these underground kingdoms housed over a billion souls, the Eslians being uglly-looking, superstitious little creatures, backward while the Pragian were more often the pattern of earthly man It was. Sto. who gave us the answer to the great riddle which had dwelt unsolved on our minds. How come of the language of Mars to be that of the earthly man? Ever since our "ship" had crashed in the snow outside and above the Kingdom of EIs, at which time we were taken captive this miracle had hung heavily on us. The answer lay in the fact that, a thousand years before, the black scientists of Mars had stumbled upon an amazing idea, and today there stands upon the white waste outside of the Pragian kingdom, a great metal tower. To a majestic height of a thousand feet it rises, and on the occasion of our inspection of it, we were amazed to find that, with the aid of a sort of ear phone, we could hear faint murmurings, which, after listening intently finally formed themselves into faint, scarcely audible words—words from earth! The great heavenly mystery, they called it. This, then, was the answer to the riddle of why theirs was the language of earthly man, although when Captain Sto said, "I shall take you to see it, esteemed one," it sounded much more like "I shall take you outoutseeth." esteemed one. And, by the way; the Martian women. Never in all of my life had I seen such beautiful dark woman Everywhere, by the side of the wonderful little creatures —about the site of the sixteen-year Negro girl one sees on the streets and in the schools of the great stone cities of earth. Beautiful This puzzled me g. first because I saw a like not minded, far from it. Mr. Turner, however, advanced the theory that, this condition was caused by countless generations of the Pragrans' protection of their women from the cold, dating, persecution, pre-historic wars, they kit upon them in building their settlements into the ground. Quite often I was a guest at Captain Sito's richly furnished home, part of his grand kingdom, and it was on one of these occasions that he gave me the story of Ioane. her work. Somewhere she had read an advertisement for song poems. Here was an opportunity to skill at singing. Remember, she had composed a short poem once for missionary day, gave her more courage. Within a few days she had completed a poem entitled "Dreams." She was six months since Marion Wakefield submitted her poem to the Carton Music Store. At last she received a check. "She also says, 'I will consider any other material submitted.' 'This is the happiest moment I've witnessed in all my life,' she said. 'I believe I can reach the top of the ladder.' Carly Bentley entered a small studio one morning. It's owner was none other than Marion Wakefield. 'You are a wonderful girl, Marion.' 'Thank you Dr. Bentley.' "My school, days were alternately happy and embarrassing. Embarrassing because my friends had reached their destination, but I explained Marion.

His manservant received me and I found his young master seated in what I would call, a trophy room, with a bottle of finger, a glass of wine, and a retrospective to in his queer-ugly eyes. When I entered, however, he set his glass down and jumped to his feet. "Ah!" he exclaimed, "it do be honor to me, esteemed one! Every courteer at Laugh, you do bring at once more fingo for the guest of your master!" "The pleasure is all mine," I cried, taking the indicated chair. "This sort of graciousness always did upset me. However, before very long I was the glass of the deadly fingo in our hands, we were talking of various things, and I was secretly admiring his trophy-hung walls—the dried head of an Elsian warrior, unmistakably, curiously-shaped guns, knives, of the deadly several scores of interesting objects. On a sort of stone shelf, directly in front of us, sat about twenty small stone statues. Each was quite different from the other—a miniature monster of some sort, a tiny creature, a mother with knife raised to strike. As Sto. went on talking in "that breathtaking way of his," I made another interesting discovery. "Every now and then he would lower over at something on the polished table on which sat our half bottles of fingo. Further casual observation; and I discovered still another of these little stone images, and I added cross-ringed on a bit of roux water. To be sure, my curiosity was deeply engaged. "You must. I subsequently commented, having been told by Captain Stolz, and he promptly set his glass down, regarding the little image on the table. Then he smiled and said very softly, "You do be true, Qiano Brunt," he murmured. "Yet, it be only one adventure in my life that do dinger!" And as he said that, I became aware of a faraway look in his eyes, a feeling in his breast. "The next moment he discarded the fingo, hunched forward in his chair; and I was getting the story of Joan Captain Sto. of the Pragian Fed- ration Air forces, now stationed in that part of the recently conquered Eiskan kingdom can claim to have progress along the dark, nearly deserted throughfare Mito. "Quickly he stopped and whisked up the thing which had just then fell clattering at his feet. About forty-young in Mito, for the brilliant and uniform of the unconquerable kingdom of Pragus, Captain Sto im- mediately gave vent to an astonished gas. In his hand was a short, glistening knife—an Eiskan knife. Yet, it was until the fire of Mito struck the eyes and caused him to peer quickly upwards towards the tiny windows of the darkened, apparently untainted structure it had obvious- been hurled from. It was the an- object to its carving, a Pragian ring! What did it mean? "It do be the sign of . . . Yel ring, he be little, the band of a weaker one—a woman of Pragus!" A Pragian meaker, one in distress! The lines in his dark face hardened. The next instant he was stealing his way silently up a wall of the stairway darkness of an ancient Elsian structure. Instinctively, he drew his turtly dart guns and sounded came to him, no voice. Yet he had an exhilarating feeling that he lonel. for the hundredth time in an adventurous life, he found himself for a weaker one, a woman The winding steps finally ended abruptly after the fifth landing. For a moment he stood there, odor. Silence or Shere? Had not someone come to him just between two cold stone walls. Suddenly he caught his breath and stopped. From out of the darkness nearby had come a rising voice, the deep passionate voice of her, whose breath was being blessed from between gritting teeth, as if its clenched! "You do accept now the heart of Captain Pignoff, Ioane the Beautiful," they growled, "—or the thrust of my trusty blade! Ya! Ya! It do be one... Two years I do see your reflection in my fingo; two years I do dream, do hope. Now the gods be smile on Captain Pignoff. Ya! Ya! Ioane the Man-hater, the infant of an Eislan mother and Pragian father, take hasty choice..." "Ioane never do! Never, never..." As the hysterical voice of the woman rent the darkness. Sto's heart suddenly raced like the engine of a good ship. Crouching there, an inaudible gasp escaped him. He hesitated. Was it possible? Ioane the Man-hater? His pulse quickened. "Ah! had not he, too, existed lately under the spell of beautiful Ioane the Illusive, the long-nied of the kingdom? The two voles suddenly rose again, — the threat and a brave sto. Saw red. The next instent he buried his body forward and it struck something hard. Uttering the Pragian war cry, he sprang backwards and Foreigners Have Many Concessions in Ethiopia Foreigners Have Many Concessions in Ethiopia French, Control, Postoffices and Railroads; Italians Have Telegraph and Telephone Systems; India Controls, Soda Water and Hides. By MARY HINES HALL (Franklin & Nico Press) "Pearceful Penetration" into unexplored countries is much less cruel than the rough neck military incursion. That is especially true of Ethiopia where there is slowly-growing group of immigrants in the form of cooperation with foreigners. The country is being slowly drained and monopolies are "ridden in abu-ness" by the government or sale of certain commodities to the one holding the monopoly right. French Control Postoffices The postoffices of the country are controlled by the French. The postoffices are telegraph and telephone systems. An Indian company has the most extensive monopoly on the exportation of hides and skins. Other monopolies have been granted on coffee, some of which are owned by the Kafee country of Ethiopia. French and Ethiopians jointly control 500 miles of trackage, and the English have the only bank in the country. Very important salt monopoly has been given to the French. Railroad Seems French The most of the trackage of the railroad which the Ethiopians and the French have been in Ethiopia, not more than four hours out of three days being in French port of Djibouti to Addis Ababa, not one Ethiopian is to be seen looming on the tracks of custom. The customers of tickets, collections for articles carried on the trains, or for freight, are the owners of the hands of Frenchmen. A traveler would easily get the impression that the railroad was owned by the French. Queen Bank Rules The bank of the country is a particular source of trouble. The bank is only payable in full at that place. If one wishes to have them exchanged, it is necessary to bank it is necessary to accept a per cent discount. Dire Dowa merchants will not accept Ababa's Maria Theresa dollar, minted at some city in Europe, is the coin chiefly used. Its value is about forty shillings, but it was made for use in that city because foreigners objected to the Ethiopians, however, take delight in stacking them up. They may frequently be with large dry goods boxes, crammed with shining dolls. Great Mountain Climbers The Ethiopian is known as a great warrior, a man of great courage, including countries. He rides around on his mule with from six to twelve servants or slaves running along by foot or shot guns. No single army could defeat the Ethiopians on foot because the soldiers of no other country had the steep precipices and mountains. The Ethiopians are great climbers and can outlast a Sudanese cane walking. They are excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner. That is not true with the Ethiopian. All he needs is a handful of grain. This he ties in the corner of his shirt and puts it in mouth at a time as he walks along. He never misses his mouth. Kitchen Equipment THE SINK Sinks should be placed in the center of wall space instead of in the corner. It should have a drain pipe in the center with a drainboard on each wall. It should be far away from the vided with large trap and easily able screw cap, which, in case of emergency can be taken out. After leaving the kitchen sink when the work is completed, a quart or so of boiling water is added to flush the pipes and leave the trap full of clean water. rushed again, while the weaker one inside screamed and her captor uttered the gutture. The water was poured into the composite door gave way, and as the young Captain went抓ed into the dimly illuminated, cell-like room, his dart gun cracked and the man silhouetted on the far wall, attired in the green uniform of the recently conquered Eslan kingdom, grung away and the poisoned darts sent cracking into the At the same time, Ioane, her garments in shreds, let out a cry and rushed for the door, and as she did so, Stoe bore him away, almost but too late Xai Yai Yai- too late! Already enraged Eslani's hand had darted into the pocket of his funic, and the next second something went thumping. Stoe frore in his tracks and staggered. Ioane, at the door, coughed and groaned; and while the Eslani let out a devilish cry of satisfaction, Stoe smelled gases which so suddenly filled the room, saw her half-murd body slump to the floor. "Seuml" "Bithit" "Bithit" two buck Martians staggered blindly, toward each other, encountered each other with the ferocity of two disablied alshirps! The glories or battle, were not to be them, choked, to be them, and they grinned grooming to the floor, clenched; and soon the three of them lay prone—what a combination! —a Prajgan captain, an Eslani capitan, and a heavenly bounty with the hot blood of two great kings coursing through her velvets!

When asked by the editor, Carl J. Murphy, what was the hardest game played that the Hampton game was most difficult, first because the Hamptonites are hard to beat away from their campus, and particularly hard to defeat on their own ground, and also because they still had to play for the championship, at that time. To the question why did Bob Williams, who was constantly being carried off the field and hurt in the 1939 games, he said that the teamwork of the players, who were able to protect him move, was the reason for the last question, why did not Morgan beat Union, he explained that most teams had one bad game during a season and that that was the game when they just did not click. Members of the team instrucled by the coach were Howard Wilson, halfback, Tom Conrad, halfback, Tim Hicks, and Johnson tackles. The team played four games sang three selections a semenade, the inbily 'Sweet and Low' and 'Night Has a Thousand Eyes.'

For that reason I am not going to pick any All-American linesmen, my conscience would prick me every time I pictured a fond old gray haired mama who had raised her boy to be a great tackle or a great center as she eagerly seized this column and read with anticipation, looking for her boy's name. Can you not see the tears trickling down her crinkled—I mean wrinkled face (I was thinking about bedspreads) as that look of disappointment spreads across her countenance as she is brought face to face (there are entirely too many faces in this sentence) with the stark realization that her boy did not make a success? For this reason I refuse flatly to pick and the other that all linesmen look alike to me. The guy who goes across the goal line is a heluva guy with me—the rest were merely out there using a lot of bruises. This is Not My Specialty— Now, if this were a question of picking chorus girls out of a line it would be an easy matter. I confess I'm pretty good at that sort of thing. Chorus girls have a little more "form" than football players and they show it—oh, lots of it. All a football player has is a number on his back to identify him; a chorus girl has a figure too, but that's a different story together. Of course, you can't tell much difference between a 95-pound choline, and a 200-pound guard when you take them out to dinner from the size of their appetites, but if, after you finish, the party across the table doesn't ask you for a mink coat you can be pretty sure it is the guard and not the choline my system. "Gimble a mink cost," chorus thunder. "That. That. In columns other than those Mr. J. Quiney Adams (not the one you're thinking about) has selected an all-star team for the APRO at my request.

Take his woe Pick Your Own All-American Jur on the up and up, Ive arranged with the printer to leave a lot of white space at the side of this paragraph so that you can write in the names of your favorite players. Pick as many as you like, there isn't anything like having a long string of substitutes, you know. If you get stuck on the linesmen like I did, remember there are a lot of backfield men who ought to be the line, but evidently they saw the coach bury the body and he's afraid they'll squall. If this space isn't enough send for more paper stock will give plenty of margin.

Cavalry of the 1023rd-89 and 30, finished season in a blaze of glory when they defeated the unbeaten Passaic Red Devils, white, in a charity game at the Passaic High School stadium, before a crowd of 20,000. The large audience enthusiastic crowd the players responded with all they had. It is said to be the most interesting game ever witnessed at the stadium. Passaic kicked off the Cavalry on the 15-vard line. A pass from Jason to Benefield advanced the ball to the 45-yard line. From then on the playing was fast, and vicious. The quarter ended scoreless. In the last minute of second quarter Pekarsky, the Cavalry end, rebounded and got away for a touchdown. Passaic failed to convert the six points into seven. 4. few minutes later Jackson, Cavalry quarterback, received a pass on-off-tackle and made a touchdown, tipping the score. 3. third quarter, fourth quarters Fenter and Corbin each made touchdowns for the Cavalry, bringing the final score 19 to 6.

HOWARD SOCCER TEAM DEFEATS SEASIDERS, 4-0 WASHINGTON. — Continuing its unbroken series of victories, the Howard University soccer team again defeated Hampton in a game played today in the Howard University stadium, with a score of 4-0. The Bisons scores resulted from a pass from Jacobs to Burrows, with a cannon ball penalty kick by Huge Brown, and a beautiful goal from a difficult angle by Roberts, who showed his superiority as a dribbler in breakaway and kicking for the marker. Kick Blocked Hampton's only chance to score was from a freckle within the fiveyard line in the last few moments of play. The kick was blocked. The ball was blocked for the Sea-Siders, while Roberts was the outstanding Bison performer. The Howard soccer team was organized last year, with Nyabongo as captain and center forward. Under the same leadership the team has repeatedly defeated Hampton, Lincoln and all comers for the past two years. **SCORE BY QUARTERS** **Howard** | **1** | **0** | **2** | **1** | **4** **Hampton** | **0** | **0** | **0** | **0** | **0** **HOWARD** | **POSITION** | **HAMPTON** **Lindon** | **R.

Among the rules that caused much discussion was that regarding personal fouls. The new rule is that a player must be allowed to shoot a goal he gets one free shot if he makes the field goal, but he gets two if he misses. The new rule is that considerably was that concerning the jump ball. The new rule is that each man is allowed to tap the ball twice, but after that he is not allowed to touch the floor, one of the other players, the basket or the backboard. BIGSTEVE PLUCKS VICTORY FROM MORRIS BROWN Tuskegee Back Takes Two Fumbles on 3. Yard Line. SCORE IS 12-0 Runs of 45 and 32 Yds. Settle S.I.A.A. Title. SPILLERS FIELD, Atlanta, Ga.-The Mighty Abbot teers of Tuskegee, added and another glorious victory to their long string when they finally subdued the scrapping Wolverines of Morris Brown in the most thrilling and desperate game played in Atlanta this year. On the kick-off Shanklin ran the ball 42 yards to the Wolverines 42 yard line but they held air tight for four downs. Shag Jones punted back to Steve who ran 37 yards to Morris Brown 55-yard line and on the next play tripped off right tackle and down the field with perfect interference 54 yards for the first score. His attempted place kick for the extra point was blocked. In Tiger Territory A few substitutions were made which greatly strengthened the Wolverines'队. Tuskegee kicked off to Gredell who ran back 27 yards. The Tigers had kicked short to the Tiger's 28 yard line. On four line play the Tiger failed to make first down and the ball went over on their 41-yard line. Jones, Spurrock and Moore plunged for two first downs playing the ball on the Tigers' 21-yard line. The attempted passes failed and brought a five-yard penalty. The Tigers had ford down; the ball went over on their 32-yard line. They were given a 15-yard penalty for shagging. A backfield fumble was recovered by Steve on his 3-yard line. Recovers Fumble on Goal On the next play Stevenson kicked short to Red Moore on the Tigers' 28-yard line; Red returned 5 yards. Two attempted passes failed to the Wolverines anything more than another 5-yard penalty. The ball went over and the ball kicked to the Tigers' 19-yard line when they held for two downs. Steve attempted to punt. Inky White, star end of the Wolverines, blocked the punt; it rolled to the Tigers' two-yard line and a free fumble thrilled the grandstands, as a Wolverine touchdown seemed inevitable; but Steve emerged victorious with a final recovery. For the next quarter the Wolverines earned a desperate plunging the Tigers' line for consistent gains and Jones kept his eye on the kicking all evening. Two-thirds of the game was played in the Tigers' territory despite their crushing attacks. In the closing quarter the Tigers started a drive from their 15-yard line led by Steve with in point. Wolverine cut off kickoff for 27 yards and was stopped by Credell, steerback and Captain of the Wolverines. Steve kicked to the Wolverines' 5-yard line and Jones punt back to the 44-yard line.

Conference at Lincoln University, Friday and Saturday, according to plans discussed at a meeting of the Eastern and Midwestern Boards of Officials, he'd at the National Hotel here, Thursday night. The fact that white officials who were admittedly inefficient drew double the pay for years ago, he told offended officials today was unearthly, and the decision to request a fee in accordance with the rates handed down by the National Board of Officials was hit upon. Assignments Discussed Looming as the greatest problem was the question as to whether the notice of official assignment and appearing on the schedule sent out by the secretary was beaten as described as a binding contract. The question was easily disposed of when the group was reminded that four such assignments had been received by the secretary, and every one officials had been assigned to games on the same day at the same time. This, it was agreed, caused much unnecessary confusion and offence, and when he could have signed up for other than a C.I.A.A. contest. Games Cancelled Many other points that caused much anxiety and unrest in officialdom followed. Several officials complained abusing the officials off of games without notifying the officials. In one case an official reported to a Saturday game in North Carolina that had been played the night before; and suffered not only the loss of a player, but also the possibility of working another name. To Ask Protection Unjust treatment by players and spectators at several schools were reported and some officials related hair-raising stories of experiences gathered during this season when proved conclusively that some definite steps should be taken to protect children. It was also suggested that a representative body from both boards present constructive suggestions to the C.I.A.A. in the spirit and light of the points brought out in the discussion. B. Henderson, Arthur O. Weller, Benjamin Washington, and Welford Jackson comprised theington group, George Spalake, and Padmade Hill, assisting Morgan coach, completed the list of guests; and L. U.

Conference Champlons Among our schools we have four organized intercollegiate conferences, which supposedly have rules and regulations for the conduct of the intercollegiate sports. These teams are apparently on some degree of equality when they trot out on the playing field. Hence they feel better each year. They are the winners of the titles in the four conferences, including some fifty or more schools among their members. Now be silent, those who would say that some teams do not live in the conference are activeive conferences. This is a matter for the individual conferences to investigate. However, there is one thing which apparently receives the sanction of the conference, that does not appear sound in principle. All of the conferences have a "one year" rule for transfer students, and while they adhere to the rule when transferring, they do not conference, several of the schools have men eligible for participation on their conference games, when playing schools belonging to other conferences as well as independent teams. This matter becomes especially interesting in view of the excuses given by some teams which are members of certain conferences against the regulations and requirements used up to by certain independent teams. The question naturally arises What is the purpose of the inter-collegiate athletic conferences? Our goal is to organize athletic conferences should be organized of schools of approximately equal rank scholastically and willing to abide by a code of rules and regulations that they may implement in their centered upon practically equal basis as near as possible; then, living up to these rules and regulations, by a college institution deserves the title of conference champion. Only when conferences live up to these ideals, do they prove worthy of existence. It is possible that the four conferences now organized, by living up to rules and regulations they have imposed upon themselves, and see themselves feel the effect of non-membership, can do a great service in raising the status of intercollegiate athletics and re-awakening true college spirit and allegiance in students and players alike. - Southern Conference Meeting Postponed With representatives from nine of the twelve members of the conference present in the city, only an informal meeting of the Southern Conference held due to some misunderstanding concerning a post-mentorship. With the conference going on record in its last meeting as not requiring and agreeing to give conference games during any season and relinquishing its right to declare a conference championship, a great amount of interest has been sapped from the conference organization. Students and alumni of the various schools hope that these matters will be rectified at the coming meeting. Morehouse Defends Clark for City Championship The Morehouse Tigers trampled tradition in the dust and plastered Clark for a 6-0 defeat, to win the city championship for one year and possession of Dr. E. G. Bowen's trophy This was the first defeat administered a Clark outfit. The Morelous team apparently entered the game over confident and for over three quarters, the Clark team was reinstalled and held in check by an infuriated Panther that was attempting to recoup the most disastrous season Clark has experienced The game soon revolved itself into a kicking duel between Baker of Clark and Kelley of Moorhouse, both on 10-yard line. Kelley booted the leather sphere 65 yards in the clear, down the field over the safety man's head and the ball hit and rolled across the goal line. Which was partially blocked, Morehouse received the ball on Clark's 42-yard line with Red Jones and Frohn Jones, powerful backfield, taking account of the ball. Morehouse dropped over for the first and only touchdown for the day, Kelley missed Amaze a Minute Scientifics — by Arnold LARGEST METEOR CRATER IN WORLD believed caused by 300,000 ton meteor swarm exploding upon striking earth. 400 million tons of T.N.T. would have been required to blast a crater this size. LACK OF SUNSHINE for miners remedied by Idaho mining company providing ultra-violet treatments daily, re- ducing colds and Without food—40 days Without water—6 days Without air—10 minutes PHYSICAL LIMITS OF MAN The Morgan College Bears were two touchdowns better than Union University of Richmond, the only team to which they lost during the season, Coach Edward Hurt of Morgan College told the AFRO Club staff. The reason the team lost to the Panthers was that every team has one bad game under its belt, and the Unionites were lucky enough to be their opponents on the Bears' off-day, he said. In explaining why the diminutive quarterback, Bob Williams, was not the best of the season, Coach Hurt stated that the whole team made it a part of their duties to protect their plucky little field general, and the most of the plays were devised to keep him out of danger. The coach presented to the club his backfield, including unadorned, Hicks and Wilson, and Johnson, a tackle. Atlantic City Quint Nipped by Regulars In a fast and thrilling game, the Regular Fellows easily defeated the Tigers of Atlantic City, N.J. Sun, 10-9, in the Pride of Baltimore. 38-22.

Baker threw a pass in the end zone to R. C. Roberts which he got on the end of his fingers. He ran and drums, brought the ball to Morehouse's adherers and the disappointment of Clark followers. For Morehouse, Bowen, guard; Day, guard; Red Jones, halfback, and Frush Jones, fullback, played defense. Reeves, end; Baker and Roberts in the backfield, were towers of strength on defense. Ric Roberts played one of the best defensive games of his career and, although handcapped by the close line offense of Chippewa, showed the advantage on the offense. Elsk Defeats Langston The brilliant Fisk队 bearded the Langston oil men in their own back yard by a score of 14-12 for Langston's first season of the season. Langston has, not yet, a representative schedule and this may account for her failure in the crisis. For at the end of the first half, Langston leading 12-0 but with Wiggins, Yoast and Company taking to the air in the second half and mixing their forward passes with well executed end runs to catch the game and for national recognition. For the Fisk队, Yoast, Wiggins, Pierce and Hall were yomen workers, while Weaver and King performed brilliantly for Langston. Sport Writers Please Take Notice.

COHEN VICTOR Norfolk's First Defeat in 18 Months. (Reprint from last week's City Edition) After taking the count of seven in the fifth round, Sherman Brown, plucky New York battler, won the judges' decision over Battling Griffin, of Philadelphia, Wednesday night, after ten rounds of the most interesting mixture of fisticuffs seen at the New Albert Auditorium in many months. The two fighters with two different types of attack, were also varied in their physical make-up-Griffin, 21, stocked built, is the true fighter, while Sherman Brown, 18, was the fast-stepping, double-fisted labber and scientific boxer. The men entered the ring with Griffin, the local favorite, on the long end of the betting and with a nine-pound weight advantage. Brown was checked as weighing 130 and his opponent 139. Brown Takes Lead The New Yorker chalked up an early lead when he surprised the Philadelphia fighter with his swift, accurate jabs. Boxing in the style of the masters, the youthful Harlemite had won all four of the preceding rounds when, in the fifth, with a furious rush, Griffin was able to sweep the New Yorker off his feet, sending him to the canvas. Short before the round closed, Brown had floundered for the count of 11. Coming back, Brown added the seventh round to his collection although many Griffin fans thought a draw would have been unjustifiable. Cohen Bests Norfolk The veteran, Wilbur Cohen, after closing the eyes of the youthful and popular local fighter, Young Kid Norfolk, in the fifth round, rounded out a decision on the face and mid section of his opponent, at the end of eight rounds. Bleeding profusely from the second round, Norfolk, who suffered his first defeat in eighteen months of a bewildered unusual stamina and gameness. The entire card presented by the Monumental Boxing Club was unusually fast and the most interesting presented here this season. Manager Boston says this is a good sample of what he will bring to the fans in future cards. In the preliminaries Black Paddy, of Chester, defeated Battling Wong, after six rounds of mauling. At the final bell both fighters were virtually on their feet. Kid Dennis Moody, after being knocked from the ring in the third round, came back with a flurry of Kid Tabbie White in the same stanza of their scheduled six-round bout. Glarence Hall won in a battle royal that was a side-splitting exhibition that sent the onlookers into spasms of laughter.

The local favorites displaying fine touchdowns, played smoothly and steadily without rising to great heights, while the great Renaissance club fell far short of displaying the machine-like precision that characterizes most of their play. The players' stalling around, the Greeks broke into a burst of scoring led by Chink Wyatt. The score sea-saw during the first half with the visitors half to ten in the second.

Bradley negotiated the three and a half miles in 19 minutes and 30 seconds, which was one minute slower than the time Lee was using, as usual by establishing an early lead with Bradley hanging on as a constant threat. The race soon resolved itself into a duel between the two Lincoln stars. Bradley was winning a 60-yard advantage with Bradley going strong. At this point the break came, alided by Lee's mistake of running 50 yards off the course. Bradley as assistant coach, Lance Liquinished. Lee misinterpreted the friendly gestures of admirers for a signal to turn. This robbed him of his chance of victory.

SEASIDERS TAKE CHARITY GAME FROM LIONS, 9-0 Unemployment Fund Game Won by Hampton Gridders. SECOND MEETING N.Y. Official C.I.A.A. Game was Scoreless. BY GEORGE LYLE PKILADELPHIA, Pa. Playing on a soggy field, the ball heavy and very slippery, the big Blue and White grid machine from Hampton Institute effectively shut out the Lincoln eleven. The game clearly indicated the Ironmen's superiority in all phases of the contest. The play was kept in the Lions' territory the greater portion of the time—the Seasiders scoring eight firsts to the Lions' five. This was the second time the two elevenes have met this season; the first time was in New York, which ended in a scoreless tie. Saturday's encounter was held for the benefit of the mayor's funds for the unemployed. First Quarter The opening period started with several exchanges of punts; Guess, Briggs, and Moore hammering their way to the Lincoln six-yard line, where the ball was lost on downs. La-Mar kicked out to the forty-five yard line and the Seaiders advance was resumed. The series of twenty-one-ball brought the ball to the twenty-one-yard where the advance was halted. Briggs nonchallantly booted a place kick for a three-point marathon. Second Quarter Hampton, with a series of line plays and sweeping end runs, placed the ball on the Lincoln sixteen-yard line, and again the Lions arched their backs and denied the advance. The punt traveled to where Harris had ten yards before the ball was by Kane. A pass, Guess on the hurling end, was intercepted by James, Lincoln center, who was down on the Hampton forty-five-yard line. Ten-yard and fifteen-yard runs by Lewis and Baskervile placed the ball on the Seasiders' two-yard line. There the Lincolnhunter against a stone ball hit the ball was lost by Briggs punted to the Lincoln forty-eight-yard line and the half ended. Third Quarter Lewis returned the kick-off twenty yards to his thirty-five-yard line, where he was tackled so hard that the ball flew out of his grasp to be recovered by Morton on the forty-five-yard marker. Briggs knocked out of bounds on the forty-five-yard line. Morton returned the punt which Hawks caught in the middle of the field, had made ten yards before Harrison stopped him on the Lions' forty-yard mark. A pass, Guess to Morton, was good for thirty yards, but the ball shattered hands on the Lions' forty-five-yard line. Harris returned the thirty-five-yard end run to place the ball on the Lincoln five-yard tape as the quarter ended. Fourth Quarter First down on the five-yard line, the Lions took possession of the ball on their one-yard line. The punt carried to the thirty-five-yard line, where Harris was downed in his trucks. Guess, in three plays, brought the ball to the three-yard line where Moore took failure to make the extra point, masked the 9-0 as it remained until the end.

Open Evenings 618 E.Baltimore St. Calvert 3958 Evenings 16 RAPIST OF 61 YR. OLD TEACHER GETS 15 YRS. ROCKVILLE, Md.—Leniency of the court on account of age is said to have stood between Carlton Russell, 20, and the hangman's noose, when he was sentenced to fifteen years following conviction on a charge of assaulting Mrs. Mollie McAbbey, 61, retired school teacher, when he was tried last week. The crime for which Russell was convicted was characterized as the most shocking perpetrated in this community for women and aroused community-wide resentment about the prominence and standing of the aged victim of the man's last. Testimony revealed that Russell and Miss McAbee had attended a church festival when he offered to walk back home with the former school teacher. Regarding him as one of the boys she had taught, she gladly accepted a chivalrous award was a chivalrous set. While on a lonely road the youth attacked her, threatening to kill her if she made an outcry. The attack stunned the aged teacher, but she made her way home. Later in the night Russell repeated the threat to kill her if she told on him when he climbed a ladder to the second floor room where she had gone. Following advice of her minister, however, Miss McAbee laid charges against the youth and he was convicted. The crime is death, but Judge Robert B. Peter took possession of the age of the youth in fixing sentence. Miss McAbee, who is a sister of William H. McAbee, and a member of an old Maryland family, may be permanently injured as a result of her experience with the youth. Robbery Story Faked; Paymaster Caught SPARTANBURG, S.C. — When his story of being robbed by three men seemed suspicious, police investigation revealed that the alleged holder of V. P.

It seems to make no difference, as the popularity of the writer appears to be the primary interest of the illustrators. The newspapers Lost in the ... The present clear sailing enjoyed by the gentlemen of foreign extraction was not gained without competition. Two Washington syndicates made attempts to cut in on the "gravy." The representatives of one came from the District and recruited 21 writers. These set about to educate the people in the art of "straights" and "combines." For about three months the company managed to "keep its head above the water" with more education going out than money was coming in. One bright moon, when the one hundred of them came down from New York, the intruders hoisted sald, departed and have not yet returned to pay off the irate players. It is rumored around that it will be "just too bad" for them if they have the efferritory to come back. Slight Damper The buckling of this firm was a slight damper on the spread of the game, but the lure to get something for nothing was too great, so the Israelite had to harrow. For a brief spell, the Israelite had a monopoly of the racket, taking "meat, gravy and all." An ambitious Italian (named Nick), who had learned just enough English to murder the names of the food around the world, around the 100 block of Henry Street, was the Israelite's next competitor. No Hard Feeling No hard feeling accompanied the entrance of the Italian into the racket, and the two have each built a reputation for paying. It is said that the players will not stand for anything less than the amount they are supposed to get. El Hey of D. C. El Bey (Al-Day) of Washington, went down soon after Nick's entry to horn in on the racket, and did a thriving business until recently. El Bey was cautious and fearful of the law, which sticks $200 fines and a gang of fools on to those found guilty of killing fellow officers, while man high up in the racket was rested. Bey folded up his tent and returned to Washington the next day, fearing that the law was tracking him. Game is Gaining The game is not played here on a large scale as yet, but it is gaining, according to a writer, an insurance man, a physician and a housewife. The players now are mostly confined to the floating element, which frequents Henry Street, but a professional man stated that several teacher friends of his were steady patrons and almost fanatical about placing bats. The colored population, which numbers 17,000, is playing now only an average of $500 per day. The sum would be larger, but the writers are not energetic, being content to sit around in their Henry Street rendezvous and wait for their patrons. When they adopt the finesse of the man in other places and begin to make him aware that safety is safe to assume that Roanoke's daily average will jump to as much as $1,500 or $2,000. Early in the Morning One Eve on Door The same play is also placed with a day employee at the Dumas Hotel. Due to police surveillance of the hotel, the writer kept one eye on the door and shouted at the employee shook on a chair and secured his book which was hidden on a high shelf in another room. The employee stated that his Monday collections averaged around $50, this sum being collected by persons bringing their money into the hostel. His week-day plays average from 4 to 10 plays. Ofays Also Play The racket is not confined to "Mose." The game is being developed also in the day section, despite the hostel's efforts to write writer reported there are at least 20 white runners, double that of the colored, spreading the "numbers" propaganda in their part of town. The writer reported that pseudo smokhouses which dot Jefferson and Church Streets. Neither of two colored writers could estimate the amount wagered by the white-population other than to say it was "big money." SMITH ONLY COLLEGE TO PASS RATERS CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Johnson C.

Wolo, an honor graduate from several great American Universities and secretary to the National Committee, Rev. James C. Crozierville, Mrs. Joe Chesson, Miss Irene Gant and former President Howard. Resignation Demanded Then these speakers addressed both the House of Representatives and the Senate; demanded in forceful language the resignation or impeachment of President King, who latter had been elected to resign, but would offer no objections to impeachment proceedings. This was done because he felt that the legislature, which he had completely dominated for several years of this incumbency of presidency, would not vote him out. Contrary to expectations, however both the Senate and House, noting the prominence and temper of the gathering, gave the party the opportunity to petitioners and promised to give serious consideration to the propositions made to them. $130,000 Promised Scarcely had the meeting adjourned, however, when a disquieting, disheveled raid and gained credence. It was reported that the American financial advisor, Mr Loomis, had urged Mr. King to run for a fourth term in 1911 and had promised $130,000 to finance his campaign. This coupled with the fact that the Firestone Rubber Company, which has a million acre rubber concession in the Republic, has opened a bank succeeding the Bank of Africa, has refilled from the Liberian field on October 1st, and the hugging of the Liberian coast by a foreign warship for many weeks, has filled the people with fear that some sinister forces will strive to destroy independence and to relegate their little black republic from the list of nations. President King was serving his third term of four years, and had been in office eleven years. His term ended in 1931. An effort of the discredited Vice-President Yanchey to involve President Morris in the slave expedition of 1832 included an in-field for the presidency in the coming elections. MD.

Johnstone received the divorce through "mail" by virtue of correspondence with three Mexican attorneys. Mexican divorces will be addressed in an invalidated by the Appellate Division of the New York State Court in Brooklyn last Tuesday. Johnstone recently visited here and received by London, England about three months ago. The legality of his divorce will be attacked in the New York and London courts by his wife.

Free Book of Southern Recipes Sent on Request. Stewart, Son & Co. , Inc. Baltimore, Maryland Baltimore Responds to Charm of the Little Theatre Movement (Reprint from last week's City Edition) Baltimore's population which has long been denied the advantage of seeing dramatic productions under favorable circumstances and keeping up with modern drama, is awakening to the charm of the art and is responding to the efforts of the Playground Athletic League to enlarge appreciative audiences. The citizens are impressed with the main purpose of the league, which seeks to provide recreation for them and second the development of the plays for cultural purposes. The leaders who have a fondness for their work, are molding a group of amateurs into a high level of production. Efforts are also being made by them to make contacts with the Vagabond Players, the Barn Stormers, and other groups so that the little theatre movement in Baltimore will be enhanced. Aside from the technical program which is being conducted, the league is operating with the dramatic department of the Coppin Normal School to secure better arrangements in the downtown playhouses, so that the citizens might have access to the higher type productions from New York. The league has sponsored two plays in connection with their Home Demonstration program, the first, White Dresses, written by Paul Green and compiled by Aline Loke in his book *Dresses*. The league was November 6. The second production was the Maker of Dreams by Oliphant-Down. The players who figured in these plays and displayed excellent talent were Mesmedes Mabelle Waltje, Murphy, and Messrs. Linwood Koger, Alfred Moore and Houston Johnson. Although the development of the drama by the league began with the schools, adults are finding the productions just as fascinating as do the children who flock to the practices. The schools, with another being trained in a church. They are very enthusiastic and manifest their interest by regular attendance at their meetings. Adults are being tutored as leaders, in one group there are 37 enrolled. To produce plays, artistic talent as well as a knowledge of stagecraft are necessary to make a success of them. Both Mrs. Alice Crawford director of the plays and Mrs. Baskins have studied along these lines, and the result is shown in the proficiency of their performances. The art of makeup is being emphasized particularly because this branch has been neglected. The directors point out that facial makeups are just as essential to costume as the clothes, and needs development. Care in selecting plays and casting players is essential of a successful production, according to the leaders. Only certain types should be used interpreting particular parts. After a few rehearsals, the lines should be committed to memory, and attention to their actions. Special care directed to the interpretation of the lines and the technique of posture Teach Kids Caution, Not Fear In teaching children to be without fear, there should be a clear distinction between caution and fear. Fear impiles nervousness, flight, terror, and paralysis of action in some instances, but caution relates to rational self-control in situations of real danger. Sensibleness ought not to be encouraged. The child should be taught the danger of burning from fire or being struck by an automobile, or falling if he climbs upon an unsteady or sloping structure. He should understand how to avoid all these dangers. It is the first duty of a parent to protect the child, and there is no better way to protect him than by teaching him to be cautious. The child should be taught with childhood; habits formed in youth will go on through life and the child properly taught is not likely to become one of the reckless, foolhardy persons who 'take a chance' on anything, and fill the hospitals with people who are shoddy construction of grand stands and fires caused by carelessness. Ammonia Best to Clean Battery Terminals Ammonia Best to Clean Battery Terminals Commendable as this may be, the battery should not be stored in an out-of-the-way corner, where the difficulty of giving it the proper attention leads to its neglect. Satisfaction should be obtained if the battery has been neglected. Corroded terminals frequently cause high resistance joints which decrease the audibility and introduce considerable noise in reception. Corrosion, which may be either of a greenish color or of a yellowish color at which battery terminal it has formed) should be removed at frequent intervals. A rag, dipped in ammonia water will readily remove the corrosion, titer which the terminals should be thoroughly scraped over. If a coating of vaseline is then applied, the evils of corrosion will be retarded for some time to come. But, in applying the vaseline, however, it is best to first make the necessary corrosion coat. If applied beforehand, the vaseline may serve as an insulating coating and prevent good electrical contact. and breathing, and voice, are other things which are stressed. The plays most liked, it was learned, are those that are light, do not require complex mental processes in the audience, and have plenty of action. The productions which come under general disapproval are those which distinguish the race as a group apart from other peoples. Sensitiveness on account of some words sometimes causes an audience to lack appreciation for the art in a play, it was stated. The dramatic leaders predict that Baltimore will soon lead other cities in the development of the little theatre movement. The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, December 13, 1930 Farm and Garden Farm and Garden CULLING FIREWOOD Culls in poultry beds are outcasts, but culls beat pure birds when they constitute supplies of firewood. For a given amount of heat it has been found that more heat will be produced in burning than from a like volume cut from vigorous and fast growing trees. The wood may be stored in a shed or the wood may cord up faster, but when it is ready to burn it is suppressed in fuel value by the wood cut from less desirable trees. Weak trees give less wood and less sapwood, giving more weight to the cubic foot and more value as fuel. If you are selling cord wood, cut the wood and pile it in a firebox it is quicky. Six months under cover will convert it into firewood in condition to produce its best heat. One farmer three times a year said that equipment was unable to supply satisfied customers with enough wood. Household Hints If the finger-nails break easily, a good remedy is to massage them every night with olive oil. Raw meat is never very palatable, but as physicians frequently recommend it to invade the skin, make sandwiches by grating the meat very fine and mixing with salt and pepper before spreading it on the slices of bread. A palatable French dressing can be made by mixing in a glass jar 2 tablespoons of vinegar, tablespoon of salt, and a dash of paprika. Shake until well emulsified. This may be mixed several days before using, but it is necessary to shake it well each time before using. Cakes containing molasses burn very easily. Such cakes should be baked in a hot oven, not in a hot oven, and the tins should be lined with greased paper. To remove a cork that breaks and faint the bottle, pour enough ammonia in the bottle to float the cork and put it away for a few days. If the limeole becomes spotted with either paint or rust, try rubbing it lightly with fine emery paper. Do not use enough force to injure the fabric or the design. If cut flowers are placed in water that is slightly colored with washing blue, they will last much longer than if placed in clear water. Cut a Turkish towel into quarters and it will make four nice bibs for the baby. WATCHING THE BIG PARADE BY RALPH MATTHEWS WATCHING THE BIG PARADE BY RALPH MATTHEWS An Actor Does His Stuff in a Pulpit Along comes this Richard Harrison fellow, a youngish looking-old man with white flowing hair and a whole lot of something—something you can't tell. It was that indescribable something about him that made a packed auditorium at the Metropolitan Church spellbound. Crinkling in every place, he sat in the afternoon and leave a long resounding applause ringing in his ears as he slipped out. And it wasn't until after he had gone that they reached out to him, told them the oldest and simplest story in the world—the story of the creation. They probably felt right foolish after thinking it all over. What he did to that assembly Sunday is exactly what he has been doing to larger and more sophisticated audiences on Broadway nightly, only minus the trappings of "The Green Pastures" of which he is the star. Somehow, I should not have said that. The trappings, in a sense, were on the way. On the way we seen Mara Gonnelly's play at the Mansfield Theatre all that was needed to transplant the scenes of that drama to the Metropolitan Church was the soundtrack, and listening to the voice of the man there on the rostrum as he recalled lines of the play. That was because the kernel of "The Green Pastures" was there, the voice was missing, but we generally discard the shells anyway. Did He Apologize? for the Play? Mr. Harrison either purposely or inadvertently dropped a significant statement when he asked the girl to run does not necessarily prove that it is a great play. He said this somewhat anologetically in explaining that the vehicle had jumped from the first to the hundred and forty-first performance. To me it seemed that in this he meant something still deeper, a more significant. Down deep under his skin I think 'I' feels that "The Green Pastures" does not properly portray the Negro's religion and in spite of his own performance is a reflection As the star, he too feels like those of us who merely sit and look on, that this is not our idea of Heaven as all: it's merely the white man's idea of what he thinks our idea is—what he would like it to be. Not a Negro Play "The Green Pastures" is not a Negro play at all. Only the first scene deals with Negro life and this does not help to make it a great play because it is a drama that is greatly must be true to life. After the "sense of the fish fry in heaven the play jumps into a recital of Hebrew history. The story of the creation and the rest of the biblical story were thrust upon the after he came to America. Our black forefathers back in the recessions of Africa probably have an entirely different story to tell of how God made the Chinese actors, with the same amount of might, might have done equally as well. The appeal and success of "The Green Pastures" lies not in the fact that it is Negro religion, but that it is American religion as a colored religion, with the same reaction the play is unfolded. They see here not some crude belief of the people in the swamp lands of Louisiana but merely the picturization of the religion that they were taught as children on Sunday before the conception of the primitive Negro, but their own childish conception vividly recalled. A Personal Appeal To me the appeal of "The Green Pastures" was not abstract, but personal. By a peek at his face, striking resemblance to my father. That shock of wavy gray hair hanging down behind his neck, that high forehead, that complexion, that build, and that black coat were all very close to me as I saw my father in a coat like that moving about his own parish quilt, where he talked about his friends and his gifts. Down on Broadway that night alone, I watched Richard Harrison portray the Lord. I watched his worried look as the people down worried him. To me that night, Richard Harrison is not not Richard all, but all my dad. Cain, Seth and the rest were not the characters they portrayed, but my brothers and I. Just how much of that play had my dad enacted? I wandered. How many disappointments had he suf- Hardboiled Cry Babies Around me women in evening gowns with bare white backs exposed, chiffon skirts, and chiffon skirts to their eyes. Men in stiffly starched shirts and formal attire turned their heads and looked at them to them? Even I, who pride myself on being proof against giving vent to the kind of emotion that preachers in the church will try to will. It wasn't the troubles of a mythical God in an equally mythical heaven that got close to me, it was this stocky little old man who looked like dad—and he was a bear. To me all it was earth. "Features" wasn't heaven of all it was earth. In Proper Element Somehow, Richard Harrison seemed out of place down there on Broadway. There was something about him that made you feel the same. He was all the flaring lights of the Great White Way, the painted women, the puppet-like men, moving in an artificial makebelle world, all seemed the kind of background you would old gentle-ness. A pearl in a handful of crushed oyster shells. He would look more fitting, I thought, in a house of worship, standing behind a pulpit desk, sandwiched with sincretically decorated onions on side in high back chairs—a picture, perhaps, of Christ ascending into heaven at his r. ar and chimes of a pipe organ mingled with the voices of a Psalm singing chaining to shaking hands with his telling the story of the creation in that melodious voice of his instead of acting it. I saw him in just that atmosphere Sunday afternoon. I was right. That's just where he belonged. A very good cleaner for tarnished silver is to use a piece of raw potato, dipped in baking soda. Sight Conservation Classes Now Have Full Equipment Work of Correcting Poor Eyesight Now Regular Part of School Program. (Reprint from last week's City Edition) The problem of correcting poor eyesight in young students is now being solved in School No. 120, William H. Proctor, principal, where pupils of two sight conservation classes are receiving individual attention under the direction of teachers trained in special methods of instruction. This addition to the regular curriculum was added on April 23, last, under the tutelage of Mrs. Henrietta Croil, in a poorly lighted room without the equipment, necessary for such a class. The opening of the present semester witnessed the fitting up of two class rooms with all the equipment necessary and the addition of another teacher, Miss Grace Whiting. the rest periods which are given by the teacher in large groups in the fundamentals of handwork. f. n.; on any table of the rooms may be seen many objects, whose fancy coloring is the result of the artistic hand of some deficient hand.

The museum is perpetuating, as the Both, Mrs. Croll and Miss Whitling received their special training at Columbia University. The Lions Club composed of wealthy white men interested in the city's handicapped children, made possible the training of these two teachers. Mrs. Croll has 15 students enrolled and Miss Whitling 17, from grades 18 to 6a, most of them suffering from myopic eye trouble. These children receive the oral lessons with their regular classes, but return for study and close-up work to the sight conservation rooms, which are propa lighted and have dull finished walls and ceilings.

The Lions Club was opened with only a teacher, a beneficiary of the Lions Club, the association waged a spirited campaign to purchase equipment for the school. When the school board claimed there was no money available for such class in the colored schools. In the midst of the campaign the association sold equipment to use the funds as they proposed. But the campaign had given impetus to the movement, and the school board equipped classrooms to the opening of school in September.

In addition, the woodwork should be polished. Use wood polish, wax or oil according to the original finish, and only soft dusters, free from gritty substances should be used. Silk and chamois fabric should be used. Finger print; on some furniture may be removed with a cloth wring out of lukewarm suds made with neutral soap and finished by rubbing it with few drops of light lubricating oil. For Upholstery Either a vacuum cleaner or a brush is the most effective for cleaning upholstered furniture. A soft brush can be used to wipe out and a stiff one for tapestry. It should be occasionally beaten with a flat carpet heater. The article to be cleaned is first covered with a cloth that has been dipped in a solution of vinegar then beaten with a flat heater, the dust being taken up by the damp cloth. Leather Suites Leather furniture coverings last longer and look better if rubbed occasionally on the leather polish to restore the oil which gradually dries out. The liquid should be well rubbed in and any excess is wiped off. The leather of oil will collect and hold dirt which will darken* the leather and soil whatever bouches Wicker Furniture The crevices in wicker furniture are difficult to clean, but furnished with a polished upholstery. Brushing, followed by dusling, seems to be the best treatment. Care in Storing Foods Helps Health and Purse The pantry, cellar, or other room where food is kept should be clean, airy, dry screened, ainsles files and other, dry screened, must be dust-free or otherwise disagreeable odors. If the cellar must be used as the chief storage place for food, a duck-water on wet walls soon pays off in time and strength saved. The liberal use of whitewash and unskid lime in the cellar helps to keep down micro-organisms and undesirable odors. Since the bottom of the cellar is the coolest part, foods often keep best if set on the floor, provided it is clean and dry. If the floor is damp and earthy, the food may be more damaged under the food. If there is a furnace in the main part of the cellar, it is generally too warm and dry for the age of vegetables but a vacuum can oftentimes be partitioned off and so ventilated that the temperature is kept constantly cool. a good place to store canned foods. In a cool, dry climate food may be successfully kept in an oak, extending from the table or a shattering from the floor or the lower floor of the house to the roof and equipped with a door opening into the kitchen or pantry and wire or perforated shelves of convenient height.

New Secretary of Labor Another Anti-Negro Gesture of Hoover The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly N.A.A.C.P.SCORES PRESIDENT FOR NAMING DOAK New Secretary Heads Trade Union which Bars Negroes. HOOVER ADVISED Crisis Says President Makes Grim Joke NEW YORK. — President Hoover's nominee of William N. Doak, white, to be a member of his Cabinet as Secretary of Labor brought today a sharp public letter from the N.A.A.C.P. condemning the appointment on the ground of Mr. Doak and his union's anti-Negro attitude. The letter said, in part: "The N.A.A.C.P. views with great regret the appointment to so important a post of one who has in so many ways shown himself to be completely lacking in sympathy with the plus of Negro labor. "On last January 21 we formally urged upon the President that he familiarize himself with all the facts concern the Deak's anti-Negro activities." Doak Anti-Negro "In our formal protest we wrote Mr. Hoover that Mr. Doak—represents something which is of vital importance to the Negroes. It is a member of a great trade union which will not allow Negroes to be members under any circumst-ness. He now understands that this trade union as its head, but in addition to that, he has been for years active in trying to deprive American Negroes of their rights in any capacity on the railroads. "We have proof of this activity on his part, which we should be very glad to lay before you if you should wish. Inder such circumstances, it seer - to us that it would be most unfortunate to ALAGA CANE SYRUP FOR HOT CAKES AND HOT BISCUITS The number of our r dera learning of the "JOY" that comes from using Real ALAGA Cane Syrup with Hot Cakes and Hot Biscuits is ever increasing. They have also learned that Candy, Pum, kln Pies, Cookies, etc. fit for the King are made with ALAGA Cane Syrup. Regular shipments are now being received, right from where the Sugar Cane grows, to meet the rapidly growing demand.

MAD, ONE-LEGGED WAR VETERAN MUST HANG MAD, ONE-LEGGED WAR VETERAN MUST HANG Lorenzo Price is Found Guilty Second Time of Murder and Rape. CASE EXCITING Accused Says White Girl Came Willingly. TOWSON, Md.—Snatched from the gallows in July when the Court of Appeals reversed the death sentence, Lorenzo Prize, one-legged, shell-shocked war vet, was again found guilty of first degree murder by a white jury after a three-day trial last week, and sentenced for the second time Monday to be hanged by Judge Frank I. Duncan and Judge C. Gus Grayon in the circuit court here. The verdict of the jury, reached in forty minutes, set forth that Price was sane at the time he killed Reuben Heyman, white, in an auto in which Jack and criminologist saulted Dorothy Burgess, white, his companion. Pendleton Filed Motion Penitenthof free motion Just before the convicted man was brought into the court room to hear the sentenced imposed, John M. Lyell, white his attorney, withdrew and George L. Pendleton filed a motion for an arrest of judgment which was overruled. Cudge J. Gus Grayson then asked the prisoner if he had any statement to make before sentence was passed. Price arose and made the following statement: "I have been prosecuted and punished on account of a woman who voluntarily gave herself to me. She accepted my money and said she never saw me before and said she never saw me before and said she never knew me. If she did know me or never did, she did I law so much about her personal affairs and about her husband and baby? "I admit my part, but deny that I raped her. . . ." Sentence Passed Stating that in cases of this kind he always looked for some mitigating circumstances, Judge Duncan declared that in this case he found none and the sentence of death was proclaimed. Price's second trial for his life was based primarily on the contention that his sanity at the time of the killing and the time of the first trial had not been taken into account, evidence whichses that he had known Mrs. Dorothy Burgess, white, the state's main witness, and had been familiar with her before they had taken the fatal automobile ride and had not been taken into account. Frazier Identified Woman The defense presented Stewart Fradier, well-known jewelry salesman and concessionaire, who was the woman he had seen with Price on one or more occasions. Mrs. Price was put on the stand by the defense to relate what she knew to the mental condition of her husband. "I knew something was wrong with him before we were married," she said, "but I felt sorry for him because I had leased a house, and when he asked me to marry him, I consented. He commenced to act terribly six months after our marriage. He would wake up sometimes looking and acting like a mad man. He would yell the Germans are after him." "He often had a buzzing in the head," he also testified. Poor Witness on the stand. Price made a poor wearer deeply ashamed for the trial he had testified that he met Mrs. Burgess at a mixed dance. On the stand at the second trial he stated that he met her at the house of a friend. He had met ten times, giving her $18 once and his government allotment of $54 at another. Under cross examination he became defiant and belligerent, referring to some of the records by State Attorney Robert A. a lot of stuff you have connoted me." Following the trial, Price was again placed in the death cell at the Maryland penitentiary where he was the setting for the execution. Pendleton told the AFRO-AMERICAN that he would file a motion for appeal this week. Honor Mrs. Albertus Brown Mrs. Thomas H. H. R.

Grimke, of Washington, D.C., had given him a "spanking for his theological naughtiness," in last week's AFRO, Dean John W. Haywood, of Morgan College, in a statement issued Monday, said: "I have the audacity to talk back." Appearing before the School of Religion of Howard University, recently Dean Haywood discussed the subject, "The Church Faces a College Generation." Commenting upon it, Dr. Grimke said: "The church shouldn't face the college generation any differently from the in which it faces generation. Let us be done with all this foolishness and get back to God's way of saving the world." Dean Haywood Replies Dean Haywood denied that the gospel said explicitly or implicitly that all sinners are to be dealt with in the same fashion. "To me," says Dean Haywood, "that to take the position that the experiences that men live through make no difference in the men, is to take a position that is so repugnant that no one can sense as to be not only utter untenable, but incomparably fatuous. Not Whole Truth "I do not think it is quite the whole truth to say that the Apostle Paul approached all of his sinners in the same fashion. His message on Mar's Hill, when he faced the sophisticated Athenians, was not like his message, say at Deuteronomy Lysra. He was certainly, but not one method of presentation. "The multiplication table is the same all the time, but one would not present it in the same fashion to a pupil of six and one of thirty-six. The same method that we deduced is to preach the plain, unvarnished truth of God." Two Queries "Yes. I agree with that statement, but I raise two queries; first. What thought and language modes will you use, those of the first century, the Christian century, the second century of the Christian era; second, the phrase 'simple, unvarnished truth' is a very facile and euphimatic combination of words. I am not sure that it is as easy to define the purpose of that phrase as it is to "Washington and Baltimore are full of Methodists, Baptist, Presbyterians, Catholics, Holy Rollers and the rest of them," she said in a message that was THE message? Knowledge "You can't make men better, you can't save men by cramming their heads full of secular knowledge, Dr. Grimke said. "Nobody can believe that proposition more than I do. Men cannot be saved by scientific knowledge. You cannot be saved by Einstein and all the rest. But the theologians must all remember that another fact must always be set over against this fact; you cannot save men by ignoring the fact that they have scientific knowledge." Trial of $53,000 Embezzler Held Up JACESON, Miss., (CNS.) — Reluctance on the part of the Nashville office of the Rosenwald Foundation for Negro rural schools to appear at the annual fair in Nashville for Governor of Mississippi and former state super- vi. : of Negro schools, charged by indictments in Hinds county circuit court with the alleged embezzlement of $53,000.

HOLSEY TUSKEGEE, Ala. — Fifty years after the founding of Tuskegee Institute and forty years after the organization of the Tuskegee Negro Farmers Conference, the effectiveness of Tuskegee's program for the advancement of the Negro farmer met its severest test in the depression of 1930. At the fortieth annual Farmers Conference which was held December 1.2 and 9 at Tuskegee, the test was given when a farmer was asked, "What credit arrangements have you made for next year?" and replied, "I won't need any for I have food and feed enough to carry me until the crop of 1831." This has been the forty-year doctrine of the Tuskegee Negro Farmers Conference. Growing food and feed supplies for 1931, in accordance as the slogan of the Tuskegee Conference, and if followed will meet the emergency on southern farms during the next year. "We have learned, 'one farmer said, who has long attended the Farmers Conference, "that if we raise something to eat at home, we will be able to go through the winter." Grant Moss of Macon County, and his wife reported their success in meeting the present situation in the raising of chickens, hogs and cows and providing for themselves all the necessary assistance; $186 was realized by Mrs. Moss from her cows and chickens. M. D. Ely, of Clark County, Alabama, made an interesting comparison between the raising of cotton and the raising of pigs. Using his own experience as a basis, he reported that something over a year ago he purchased a Duroc brood sow and that he had kept books both on his farm and the brood sow. On his farm he raised four bales of cotton which sold for $179. From his brood sow he realized $294.50. The brood sow had $64 and if cost him $77 to raise the cotton. "I wish now that I had put all of my money into brood sows instead of trying to raise cotton." Visitors included Miss Fannie C. Williams, New Orleans, president of the National Association of Teachers of Charleston, West Virginia, secretary of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools; R. P. Sims, president of Bluefield Institute of Charleston, West Virginia; the State College, Dover, Del; H. C.

Samuels Shocks Baptist Preachers' Body with Epithets. CALLED DRUNKARDS Says Philadelphia is "Pest House of Hell." A fusillade of verbal brickbats which did not lack for such terms as compound, complex, fools, liars, drunkards, immoralists, was hurled at Baltimore clergymen, Monday, when the Rev. P. P. Samuels, of Philadelphia, alleged explain of the National conventions, delivered what he termed a sermon to the members of the Baptist Ministerial Alliance at the weekly meeting at Enon Bapti- st Church. The Rev. Mr. Samuel's who hails from Philadelphia included the clergy of Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia in charges of perjury, being the fathers of illegitimate children, having stolen money, being polygamists, telling lies and drunkenness, with special emphasis being placed upon Philadelphia, which he referred was the "pest house" contained more preachers and crooked church members than any one spot in earth." Nor did Rev. Mr. Samuel, who knew the inside of fall, and said that it would be a mystery if he did not go back, fail to admit that he had employed agents to trace the mistakes of his ecclesiastic brethren. Several, he said, had been found in houses of ill- Better than Paul Rev. Samuel claimed to be better than Paul or Silas in jail dodging. He said that he had had forty cases brought before him, but he had never lost one. He said that he "could not" lose the four that are now pending against him in Philadelphia. Rev. Samuel further declared that members of the members of the Baptist conventions should be in the penitentiary, and pointed out members of the jail who had helped him in elimination from national organizations. Accusations Resented For a while it looked as if the Rev. Mr. Samuelws would not as easily escape manhandling as a lawman, when his holy resentment would soon book to be references to "pastors of some of the largest churches" as immoralists, drunkards and larks, and the Lord's Leadenhall Baptist Church demanded that Mr. Samuels either retract his statement or name the ministers to whom reference had been made. While Mr. Samuels said that the terms "the minister" and "the minister" ministers, several of the group including the Rev. J. Timothy Boddie of Union Baptist Church, the Rev. V. V. K. Stokes, of Trinity; and the Rev. Luke Reynolds, stated that they had understood the speaker to make such references. Becton a Coward The Rev, Wilson Becton, evangelist, now conducting services at the Tindley Temple, Philadelphia came in for his share of the event. He was "dirty coward" for publicly denounced his wife after having lived with her. Collection Though the Rev. Mr. Samuels had demanded pay for his sermon, even after telling his hearers that he didn't give a d—n whether they had what he said or not, he asked that they might pick up kind of question mark in the adjective they wish to the congregation failed to respond to that kind of urging. So the collection amounted to a pittable $8.31. That the Rev. Mr. Samuel's discourse was yet unfavorably received was influenced by the muttering through the body at the close of the session.
