DEPRIEST MOCKS DIXIE'S LOVE FOR NEGRO Southern Congressmen Twitted About their Alleged Mammies. H.U. Voted Appropriation of $1,560,000. WASHINGTON, D. C. — Oscar DePriest, making his second speech in Congress in two years, mocked Congressmen from Dixie who boast of colored mammies and then seek to deny mammy's sons equal opportunity. The House had before it Friday the Interior Department appropriation bill designating $1,600,000 for Howard University to which Committee Chairman Cramton had added $400,000 more as a first appropriation towards an $800,000 library. The entire sum was finally voted, 128 to 25. Clifton Woodrum (Dem, Roanoke, Va.) objected to the additional $400,000, declaring that the government faces a deficit, and the money should go towards relieving unemployment. He recalled that an increase in pay had been denied government employees. The Virginian declared the bill if passed committed the government to give Howard University $3,000,000 by 1985. Murphy Joins In Rep. Frank Murphy (Rep., Ohio) immediately joined in the debate, declaring Congress gave Indians, Eskimos and a lot of other underprivileged folks $23,000,000. When the congressional committee visited the University recently, Mr. Murphy said that the present library is so small that students, books in hand, were seen standing around the walls studying. "They are cramped and have not room enough." Byrns Opposes Rep. Joseph Byrns (Dem., Nashville, Tenn.) opposing the library appropriation, denied he was motivated by race prejudice. He said Tennessee makes no race discrimination in education and if the government appropriates funds to Howard, it should also give funds to Old Dane, "an aged colored man" who many years ago lived on his father's farm and whom "he loved better than anyone except his parents." **DePRIest Gets Two Minutes** Rep. DePriest, given two minutes to speak, said he appreciated the great love of Southern Congressmen for his people, but can not appreciate their failure to give them an opportunity to become better citizens. Referring to the "close contact" Southern Congressmen had with Negroes, Mr. DePriest said: "I have heard some of them say, that had sucked in breasts of black women, and I suppose that is true. They were nourished and grew fat over it." "I am satisfied if they will think is peet to vote for this appropriation." Cramton Alleges Prejudice Rep. Louis Cramton (Rep. Mich.) appropriation committee chairman, said: "If it were not something for the colored race, there would not be made the same attack upon this item." Rep. Adolf J. Sabath (Dem. Chicago) obtained leave to extend his remarks in the Record. He also issued the bill carrying a total of $87,000 for Freedmen's Hospital. Rep. Blanton (Dem. Texas) spoke in favor of the whole Howard University appropriation. Not Regusted, Andy Visits Home Town MORGANTOWN, W. Va. — Andy of (Amos 'n' Andy) troupe) brought the club to New York, W.

Send photos special delivery at Racket Brought Here 18 Months Ago by Washingtonians. BUSINESS SUFFERS Insurance Companies Complain of Racket. (Staff Correspondence of the AFRO) LYNCHBURG, Va. — Harrassed by vigilant police "numbers" racketeers here are fighting each other by turning police informers. The game was introduced here about 18 months ago by several sleek, sheikh young men of color who hailed from Washington. They organized things on a big business scale, and the new fad soon began to reach the proportions of a racket. $400 Daily But now, despite the so-called hard times, the 12,000 population here manage to rake and scrape up an average of $400 daily. The fad gained in popularity when a few spasmodic lucky strikes hitked the people to a high pitch to get something for nothing. Things moved smoothly until the Washington pioneers acted here as they did elsewhere and left town without paying off. The incident caused the populace to be wary for a 14 months, but their gambling instincts had been aroused and there were those anxious to satisfy them. Sensing big profits, many small timers with an extra dollar or two began to back the "numbers." The warriors boomed until they lost as much as $500 to $1,000 a clip, then they slipped as quietly as possible back into the ranks and became "also Identities Concealed Operators flared up and went out so swiftly that three local business men, wishing to restore the faith of the people in the game, and to make money at the same time, began to operate. A representative of the AFRO questioned several persons as to the identity of the men, but met with the reply, "He's my friend and I wouldn't do anything to expose him." Backers Envious The local moguls are guarding jealously that no outsiders come in. Two brothers, Charles R., and Valentine Groves, who went to the trouble to come here from Philadelphia, felt the heavy arm of the law quickly. Being of fair complexion, they posed as white to give dignity to their racket, but were tipped off to the police and arrested and fined. They did not leave town, but are Continued on Page 16, Column 7 CHARLESTON, W. Va. — The home of Dr. and Dr. E. E.

Ill.) in the House, December 12, 1890, on the bill appropriating $1,560,000 for Howard University. Mr. DePriest's first speech was delivered June 15, 1929, objecting to a government school on Turtle Mountain, North Dakota, Indian reservation, for whites only. Mr. DePRIEST. Mr. Chairman and members of the committee I am surprised to hear some of the gentlemen of this House use the unimprovement situation as a smoke screen to defeat the purpose of this bill to appropriate $400,000 to construct a library at Howard University. I appreciate the great love they have for these people of mine in the Southland, where most of them were born, but I can not appreciate failure to give them an opportunity to become better citizens and become better educated. Howard University acts as a clearing house to furnish teachers to the Negro children of the Southland. They are not allowed the degree of gift to the normal schools in the Southland where they instruct and women to become better instructors in the schools, so most of them come to Howard University in Washington to receive that education as necessary to go back to the Southland and educate the black youth. I know of no States which would be benefited by this appropriation quite so much as the States south of the Mason-Dixon line. I hope that every member from the South, who loves my racial group so very much, will be able to contact me with them. I have heard some of them say time after time that they had suckled at the breasts of black mammals, and I suppose that is true. They nourished and grew fat over it. Let the Negro boys and girls that come to Howard University have the best opportunities possible for the Government to give them, to become more efficient and to become better citizens, and help make the Negro youth of this country better citizens by giving them better instruction and better education. I hope that this will receive the unanimous vote of the members on the opposition side of the House. I am satisfied if they think a second time they will vote, as I expect to vote, for this appropriation. Real Estate Loans Financing John W. Carter, Inc.

McDowell Asks Himself a Question Every Xmas Every year at Christmas time, I ask myself some searching question—not always the same one—in the light of Christ's coming. This is not a comfortable practice, but I think it a useful one. It helps me to hold myself to Christ's standards and principals and makes me think of life all the time in the light of his life. This year, for some special reasons, I am asking myself especially whether I am as eager and determined to have and to show the spirit of Christ in my human relations as I am to have that spirit shown by others toward me. He was very exacting toward himself but very gracious in his relations. He made stern demands upon himself and held himself to absolute standards. He made no demands for favors for himself. But no one ever had to insist that he do what was right towards them. He was more concerned about his own duty than about its right. And this is what Christianity means to me this year. I am asking my questions about that. For I want to be like Christ in this as in all other ways. Best wishes for you. —WILLIAM FRASER McDOWELL Bishop Methodist Episcopal Church, Washington Area.

Popular demand changed aspirin from a closely guarded secret of the medical profession, first compounded by an obscure country chemist, today doctors know more about it in aspirin and that faith has made aspirin the largest selling medicine in the world. There is one laboratory alone in Memphis, Tenn., which produced over nine million boxes of pure aspirin last year and this aspirin, Joseph's Pure Aspirin, is sold in convenient tins for 10c for a dozen tablets of guaranteed pure aspirin. Sensible economy and a sureness in its purity has directed thousands to demand only St. Joseph's Pure Aspirin which contains 100 percent aspirin. It is generally known in medical circles that the manufacturers of St.Joseph's Pure Aspirin guarantee that it is as pure as money can buy, Xmas Saving CHRISTMAS CLUB OF PRUDENTIAL BANK GAINING IN MEMBERSHIP JOHN R.

C. — Stenlo Vincent, new Haitian president, said his country welcomes U.S. capital with experience but does not want U.S. adventurers or a continuation of the U.S. occupation. The statement given Rep. Knutson (Rep. Mimm.) who has just returned from Haiti, declared the islands are not anti-American or anti-white. President Vincent's statement reads: "It is true that our people and our government officials have expressed their opposition to the American occupation of Haiti. The activities and usurpation of powers by the officials of the occupation have far exceeded the contemplation of the treaty of 1815." "We Haitians have not the same large experience in agricultural development, we have our American neighbors, nor have our capital necessary for such development of our natural resources. We welcome such experience, we experience because capital without experience is "usual" lost. "If invested in Haiti under the same conditions of caretai, primary management of a business that business men would give to a similar enterprise in the United States, capital resources are not unlimited, they are those of a tropical country. For products of the tropics such as sugar, cotton, coffee, pineapple, citrus fruits, coffee, bananas, angles and limes, fins, cocoa, etc., we have large areas of land surpassed nowhere for its richness, waiting for experience and capital to develop it, until now, cheap and abundant."

DuBois, Johnson, Woodson, Hughes Philly Speakers PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — The annual Negro authors week was held at Jones Tabernacle, Twentyth and Dauphin Street, of which the Key James Weldon Johnson, author and poet, talked of Negro music.

Homer Robinson gave a talk on Negro contribution to the literature of the world. Dr. DuBois was the principal speaker Wednesday night. "At the present time the Negro writer must be satisfied with bread and butter money and then lack the money taken in our own literature," started Dr. DuBois. "That we fail to study our own race was expressed by Dr. Carter Woodson, historian, in his talk Thursday evening. On Friday Langston Hughes, poet and novelist, read a number of his poems.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (December 19, 1903) Merry Christmas should ring deep and loud in our hearts, in order that way down beneath the burden of many sighs we may yet feel pulsating within us the element of Holy Hope, realizing that He who was so good as to give His son for our redemption and salvation, was but a child of the painful selves, make good the sweetness and power of that love which really and indeed saves. Merry Christmas should ring deep and loud in our hearts, in order that way down beneath the burden of many sighs we may yet feel pulsating within us the element of Holy Hope, walking our redemption and salvation is not only able, but will, in spite of our sinful selves, make good to us the sweetness and power of that love which really and indeed saves. A Merry Christmas to one and all! Editor and Publisher, 1892-1922. Open Your Heart, Christmas, 1930 Oh, yes, there's a Santa Claus, and down the chimney he'll come next week for millions of American youngsters who look forward to Christmas as the most joyous season of the year. Of course, the home will be warm as toast, the stockings hung by the chimney loaded until they cannot hold another goody, and under the Christmas tree, with its colored lights, its tinel and bright balls will be piled the gifts which the family have exchanged. And early Christmas morning before the grown-ups are awake, down the stairway will patter tiny bare feet to see what Santa has brought. We pray God that might be the picture in every American home, but we know that it cannot be. Like the Bethlehem inn of 1930 years, ago, some of our homes are too full of other things to let the Christmas spirit in. Such homes have been full of sickness and unemployment. God went and poverty, stand at the doors and windows and even at the chimney to keep Santa Claus out. The family income barely pays the rent and leaves a bit for clothing and food, but nothing for Santa—not even a gum drop—because there is no coal in the cellar. That is the picture in hundreds of homes this year unless in church and lodge, in home and in school, recesses of the APRO-AMERICAN will occur our hearts. Share a little fuel, a few clothes, a warm cover, a penny or two with the neighbor who is in need, a blanket or two for them, what joy can it bring to us, unless our hearts are really open for our neighbors?

The news of this "troubled King Herod and all Jerusalem as well; so he gathered all the high priests and scribes of the people and made inquiries of them about where the messiah was to be born. They told him, "In Bethlehem belonging to Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet; "Where is the newly-birth King of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose, and we have come to worship him."

He also sent them to Bethlehem, telling them, "Go and make a careful search for the child, and when you have found him report to me, so that I can go and worship him too." The magicians listened to the king and then went their way. And the star they had seen went in front of them till it stopped over the place where the chieftain was sighted of the star they were intensely glad. And on-reaching the house they saw the child with his mother Mary, they fell down to worship him, and opening their caskets they offered him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrth. Then, as they had been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their country by a different road.

Editorial: (in part). from the New York Sun 1897 which undertakes to answer the question of 8-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon, white, 115 W. 95th Street, who asked: "Is there a Santa Claus?" Virginia, now 41, is Mrs. Virginia Douglas and is vice-principal of School No. 177 in New York City. The editorial is the most famous ever written in an American newspaper. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in Fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chinneys on you and to watch in all the chinneys on them if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. Most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see faires dancing on the lawn? Or course you see no monkeys, or not. Nobody canceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise. Inside, there is a strong man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernatural beauty and glory beyond. It is all there, and all there is world there, is nothing else, real, and abiding.

Is it all that you see in the world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God! He lives, and he lives forever.

Merry Christmas All Bells are ringing, hearts are singing; Love drives care away. Hopes are lifting, pain is drifting. This is Christmas day. Summers of joy in Spanish sadness. Over the earth the call Echoes, rolling, chime-like tolling— Merry Christmas all. Off with sorrow till the morrow; Over the earth till the day. Flee then trouble, cheer well double. Nought let soul annoy. Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Church and home and hall. Send the tiding skyward riding. Merry Christmas all. Life is measured, life is treasured By the love we give. And it brightens, burdens, lightens. Christ again doth live. The gates of our hearts are fleeting Soon the shadows fall. Smile on meeting—smile repeating— Merry Christmas all. —JOSHUA HENRY JONES Jr, in the "Heart of the World." Joy to the World At Christmas Eve Let's all be children again that night, With a child's desires and a child's delight In the simple and homely and happy things That only the yuletide season brings. Let's powder the World's wan face with snow Till never a scar of the past shall show; Let's redden his cheeks with the candle's rouge And make him like it—the mean old Scrooge! Let's fill with cider his trembling cup, And make him forget that he ever grew up— Ply him with puddings and fruits and cakes Til his eyes bulge out and his stomach aches. Let's cram his stockings with useless toys, While sleighbirds deafen him with their noise, Till he acknowledge that Santa Claus Is, and will be, and always was. Let's chasten him, cheer him, till over him Hovers the spirit of Tiny Tim, And he bows to the Christmas benison And prays, "God bless us, every one." Then, over his couch, may a certain Star Bend, with a message from ages far— Bend, with such greetings as angels call: "A merry Christmas to one and all." When Every Day is Christmas Every day is Christmas To the happy heart who knows The tip of loving service The act of love for Whose right hand never knoweth The left hand's kindly deeds, Whose gathers fruit of unloved love Through meeting human needs. Every day is Christmas To the happy heart who knows Spring buds and flowers are forming With frozen shimmering snows; Whose coats belong to mail God's child, divinely free; Whose life is peace, good will toward men, Whose heart is benevolent. The coming of Christmas, that first year of our residence in Alabama, gave us an opportunity to get a farther insight into the real life of the people. The first thing that reminded us that Christmas had arrived was the "foreday" visits of scores of children rapping at our door; calling for "Christmas gifts"; between the children a clock and oclock and a clock in the house; that we must have had a half-hundred such calls. This custom prevails throughout this portion of the South today. During the days of slavery it was a custom quite generally observed throughout all the Southern states to give the slave a "yule log" lasted. The male members of the race, and often the female members, were expected to get drunk. We, found that for a slave to drink, it was necessary that Tuskegee dropped work the day before Christmas, and that it was difficult to get any one to perform any service from the time they stopped work until after the New Year, because the slave drunk thought it quite the proper thing to indulge in it rather freely during the Christmas week. There was a widespread hilarity, and a free use of guns, pistols, and gunpower generally, and seemed to have been almost, wholly less, sight of. During the days of slavery it was a custom quite generally observed throughout all the Southern states, and it was necessary to continue as long as the "yule log" lasted. The male members of the race, and often the female members, were expected to get drunk. We found that for many of the Southern men and Tuskegee dropped work the day before Christmas, and that it was difficult to get any one to perform any service from the time they stopped work until after the New Year. Persons who of all races were drunk were to do the proper thing to indulge in it rather freely during the Christmas week. There was a widespread hilarity, and a free use of guns, pistols, and gunpowder generally, the sacrificial items seemed to be used more widely, lot sight of, In a few instances I found that the people had gotten hold of some bright-coloured cards that had been designed for children to use, and those. In other homes some member of the family had bought a new pistol. In the majority of cases there was nothing to be seen in the cabin to remind one of the people who had ceased work in the fields and were lounging about their homes. At night, during Christmas week, they usually had what they called a firearm, but I was not sure if a kind of rough darge, where there might be a good deal of whiskey used, and where there might be some scooping of whiskey. While I was making knives and wine I met a local preacher, who tried to convince me, from the experience Adam had in the Garden of Eden: that God had cursed all labour, and that for reason this man sought to do as little work as possible. He at that time to be supremely happy, because he was living, as he expressed it, through one week that was free While I was making this Christmas visit I met an old coloured man who was one of the numerous looters in the city. I had the experience Adam had in the Garden of Eden, that God had cursed all labour, and that, therefore, it was a sin for any man, and that, therefore, it was do as little work as possible. He seemed at that time to be supremely happy, because he was living, as he expressed it, through one week that was free In the school we made a special effort to teach our students the meaning of Christmas, and to teach us how to celebrate it. In this we have been successful to a degree that makes me feel safe in saying that the season now has a new meaning, not only through all that immediate in our lives, but a measure, wherever our graduates have gone. —From "Up from Slavey" by Booker T.

Present Distress The Rev. A. Clayton Powell, New York Pastor, Replies to Challenge of Miss. Nannie Burroughs. By A. CLAYTON. POWELL Pastor, Abussian Baptist Church, New York City. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, whose pastor is a sword, in a synthetic article about three. weeks ago mercilessly castigated the preachers, church- affiliated and welfare organizations for their in-difference toward the unemployed sterling Brooksess. She characterized the Negro leaders as hibernating ground dogs who will peep out in February to see if winter is 'over.' with this stinging challenge: "If we have leaders, now is the time for them to go to leading the people and to bleeding the people who have waited in vain for an answer to this indictment, and for fear that silence may be construed as giving consent, I am breaking into print." A Tragic Situation Every close observer will admit that the situation is the most tragic we have faced since the Emancipation. If there was any doubt about the seriousness of the depression among Negroes, that doubt was dispelled about two weeks' ago when T. Arnold Hill of the National Urban League completed and published a survey of "Unemployment Among Negroes" in the United States. Fourth of the colored people in the twenty-five large cities are out of work and hungry. This is not only a most pathetic challenge, to every leader and organization, but to every individual who has a job and is living comfortably. If the churches do not answer this challenge they ought to shut up and close up. Four New York Churches Have Free Food Kitchens The churches will give a glorious answer to this heart-rending appeal if the preachers will lead. I am inspired to make this statement by the generous response of most of the churches in Manhattan, New York. Four churches in New York City have opened free food kitchens at the suggestion and under the leadership of their pastors. These, and other pastors have established a central Relief Bureau where clothes, food, coal and 'oftimes' a little money are given to the 35,000, unemployed men and women of the rest of the city. This bureau is under the direction of the Rev. Shelton Hale Bishop, assistant director of the St. Phillip's P.E. Church. The Rev. Mr. Bishop is working night and day to find jobs for the jobless and to give relief to the suffering thousands. Abyssinian Church Has Active Relief Bureau Three weeks ago the Abyssinian Baptist Church opened a relief 'bureau under the direction of A. Clayton Powell, Jr. The appeal was made to the church and community for clothes. Bundles came in so rapidly that it now requires four persons, working eight hours a day, to receive and distribute them to the needy. At the end of the clothing had been given away. In response to the solicitation of this bureau, many members of our church have opened their homes to the homeless. Through the generosity, of the Seward Prosser Committee, this bureau has been able to place on an average pay of $100 a week, half-time, work each week. Others are sent to clean houses, wash windows, and other work for our members who are in good circumstances, and these members pay 50 cents an hour for the servier rendered. Pastor Pledges $1,000; says Give to the Poor, Now At a Sunday morning service two weeks ago, the pastor pledged $1,000 of his salary to open a free food kitchen. Within a few minutes, without any urging, church members and church organizations raised in additional pledges and cash, $1,500. The Relief Bureau now has $2,500 in hand and $1,000 to open the kitchen December 26th, and open for the next three months, or as long as the need exists. This pastor told his members not to give him any "hand shake" money, collections or donations during the holidays, but to make all their gifts instead to the poor. He has been driving a 1926 car and his officers wanted to give him a new car, so this he absolutely refused to accept. If every preacher in this country would refuse to accept donations from his church during the holidays, not a single person of the race would go hungry the week we are celebrating the birth of the Man who became poor for our sakes, that we, through His poverty, might be made rich. 30,000 Preachers Should Give There are 10,000 preachers who ought to give their salaries during the months of January, February and March to feed the hungry and clothe the naked: Another 10,000 ought to give during those months his salary, and another 10,000 ought give one fourth of their salaries for the same purpose. This would give the preachers an undreamed of power and influence in their localities. If we fail to do this, we should never again preach or read from the 25th chapter of Matthew: "I was hungry and ye fed me; I was naked and ye clothed me." Churches and Lodges Should Restore to People The churches and lodges have gotten a large part of the people's money during the last sixty years, and for the sake of the God whose name our acts have often blasphemed, and for the sake of our starving brothers and sisters, we have under the guise of religion, friendship, love, truth and charity, let us restore unto them this winter at least enough of that money to keep them from starving and freezing. This is the only practical way to meet Nannie H. Burroughs's challenge and to answer her scorching indictment. The preachers, churches and the remain different this winter to ours. We will soon be gone, and they ought to be gone and forgotten forever. 1930 a Memorable Year, Says Walter White, Acting N.A.A.C.P. Secretary Despite the most serious economic depression in recent history, history, the accompanying growth of intolerance as represented doubling, the number of lynchings in 1930 as compared to 1920, and with the organization of bigots in such movements as the Black Shirts, the Caucasian Crusaders, the White Crusaders and the Neo-Confederates, the Negroes in the United States have made 1930 a prime history. memorable the service we served notice upon those in high places that they no longer will tame submit to prescription and insult. The part played by Negroes in the defeat of Judge John J. Parker for the United States Supreme Court and of certain Senators who voted for Parker's confirmation mark a new day for the Negro which justifies a considerable measure of confidence for the future. As we celebrate on Christmas and New Year let us strengthen our resolution to make in 1831 and the years to follow even more determined, more compactly organized, more unseasonal and more unyielding campaign for the rights and privileges which are due us as citizens and as human beings. —WALTER WHITE, Acting Secretary, N.A.A.C.P. New York City Bishop A. L. Gaines Extends Christmas Greeting To the Clergy, Laty and People of the Second Episcopal District of the A.M.E. Church: GREETING: At this Christmas Season, how careful should we be "lest we forget," with great lack of employment, the scarcity of bread and the days that are facing us without promise, how prone are we to question the paths of Providence. It is, we ask, are these trials greater than the experiences of the past, through which Providence has trumpeted led us? He led us through 250 years of terrible slavery; He provided for us in the stringent period following bondage; He enabled us to assume the duties of American citizenship; He gave us ability to build up a material standing, against obstacles unheard of and in a period of time which is a marvel to the world.

CHIPS FROM THE QUARRY CHIPS FROM THE QUARRY The Proofreader Talks One of the faults that inexperienced writers are apt to fall into is that of taking up some new or unusual form of expression when writing it. If it is a good example of this is the spreading practice—among our writers and correspondents, at least—of placing useless, inward, or useless, in word "Misses" such expression as this: "The Misses Anne Jones and Mary Brown," or "The Misses Anne and Sarah Jones." I believe I have seen "the" before "dames," also in similar expression. "The Misses Brown," when the Christian man'ss are not given, is correct, but when the Christian names are given, or when there are first expression (Jones and Brown), the article is unnecessary, in fact, erroneous. No one would write: "The Messrs. John Jones and Thomas Brown were there," then they would involve as in the "As Messrs. Jones" (Christian names omitted). There is a reason for the use of the article before "Misses" for possibly "Messrs. but" because the encounter the exposes one to ridicule. And this is true of other practices. Remember the story of the two neighbor boys who went to school to see the exposes one when asked his name, gave it as "Tom," but was admonished by the teacher that he should not say "Tom" but "Thomas." The other boy, jack, took the cue, he thought, so when asked his name, you can guess the Publicly and privately America loaned the allies over $12,175,000,000 and expended about $28,750,000,000 on war "glory," creating, equipping, transporting and landing in France an army of over 2,100,000 men, and providing 100,000 more at home; also constructed thousands of ships to replace those sunk by the German submarines.

They were, in 1992, the first Jewish and Julius Meyer in Oregon. The American Israelite, published at Cincinnati, points out that this is the first time such a thing has occurred in American politics. The election, "its testimonial to the ethical standards of the Jewish pioneers." Both men are merchants. Meier is head of the Meier-Frank department store, and Baldwin is president of Seligman Brothers store. "Both men," says the Israelite, "belong to the type of American Jew whose parents or grandparents want Western country, began as peddlers, founded modest stores and built up a reputation for reliability and fair dealing in the midst of a population which had never heard of a Jew outside of the ages of 18 and 25. Publication expresses the opinion that only in America—in spite of some anti-Jewish prejudice—can Jews run for office simply as citizens hope to attain such high rank. —— The Pathfinder.

Marriage and Birth Control Coaches for Colleges, Business and Life Opportunity at Seventy LOOKING ON the fast changing procession of human beings is as interesting as looking on this ever changing wonders of scientific progress. Twenty years ago the minister of the gospel who would have had the courage to even discuss topics as companionate marriage or birth control would have be considered a blasphemer. But two weeks ago one of the leading prelates in this world today, felt called upon to speak out against what he deemed the menace of our race when Bishop William T. Mannie was written by former Judge Ben B. Landey to the "most filthy, infilished and severely written piece of propaganda ever published in behalf of leadness, promiscuity, adultery and unrestrained sexual gratification. You may not agree with either Judge Ben B. Lindsey or Bishop William T. Manning, but the incident is certain to bring into relief the vital questions of birth control and marriage. You might have expected this clash (the judge was literally thrown out of the great Central of St. John the Divine New York, with its "holy" association yelling "lynch him") in some far outpost of civilization, but that is another story. That seems strongest of all about birth control and companionate marriage is that we need to discuss them at all when, as a matter of fact, most married people practice birth control and most marriages are purely companionate. The great German feminist, Hienke Kep, once said, "Love without much more ethically sound than marriage without love." There are few good people in this world, for instance, who would openly speak out against a couple who married after they had passed the child beating age, but such a marriage could only be companionate in the deeper sense. It could merely give sanction and respectability to a union for pleasure, for sexual freedom or for companionship only. There are thousands of young people marrying today with the sanction and co-operation of parents and clergy, who never intend their marriage as solely for the purpose of "replenishing the sacrifice" of those women and women, whether they be teachers or preachers, who oppose such form of companionate marriage, or some form of birth control, we would have to teach the young that the sole objective of marriage is childbearing and that each wife should bear children to the limit of her physical ability to do so. There is a danger, of course, in the pendulum swinging too far one way or the other, but the incident in the Cathedral of St John the Divine will at least bring the matter from out of the land of taboo and give it open and decent discussion. Joseph has many leaders in thought and opinion will have the courage to help settle the matter ought to be interesting. Most of us are too much of the cowardly type to take sides on matters we are not sure the majority will sanction. Listening to Coach Edward P. Hurt tell the AFRO Club Saturday how team work and the willingness inspired in his men to carry out their assignments brought the Morgan College football team this year, suggests what an excellent idea it would be to train coaches for business and life projects. What a whale of a success eleven young business men or women could make in any city if they put the same spirit into their objective which Coach Hurt is putting into football. One of the most patent failures of the group is that we fall to work together to off, off football or baseball fields. Men who glory in passing the ball in football game or lay out a tackle so that his half back can get through, usually want to carry the ball in ball, if that life means a business project. It wouldn't be a bad idea to place coaches in every department, schools and colleges. If for the one reason of teaching team work. Most of our class work in schools is done on the individual basis. That is good, but there should be some exercises in teamwork in every class and school activity. Working together is the key to modern success, and working together every day life is one of the most important needs of groups of men and women. Richard B. Harrison, star 15 "The Green Pastures," finishing lecture-recital engagement in latemore at 5:35 p.m. and to catch a train to another engagement at 10:00 o'clock in New York, told this writer that he was more than than at any previous time, in his life. Mr. Harrison, around 70 years of age, perhaps did more to attend the attention of the American theatrical public in 1930 than any Another interesting aspect of Mr. Harrison's career is that his real opportunity come after he was past 60 years of age. Young men and women should not worry about the time it takes to prepare to do a job. It is often possible for men and women, now fifty and in good health, to start working and carry on careers. Eight years of preparation and twelve years of accomplishment would make a satisfactory ending of any human being in this world. The effect would be the same whether in the theatrical arts, professions, business or business. Some men have almost turned the course of the world in a year's time. Mr. Harrison will no doubt be nominated for a Spingarn medal. He should get it. Then He Can Leaf The book salesman knew his job. "This," he said, "will do half your wk for you."

J. JONES, Prop. HARLEM MEDICAL SOCIETY ACCEPTS ROSENWALD GIFT HARLEM MEDICAL SOCIETY ACCEPTS ROSENWALD GIFT Action Proves Existence of Two Rival Associations. WRIGHT ONE HEAD Dr. Peter Murray Lead er of Second Group. 8y R. B. LEMUS NEW YORK.—The Rosenwald proffer of a separate hospital for Harlem, which was rejected by the Manhattan Medical Society last week, was accepted by the North Harlem Medical Society two nights later. Dr. Lewis Wright, Morton lieutenant, is a leader in the Manhattan Society and Dr. Peter Murray leads the Harlem body. Rival Groups The whole matter is being regarded here rather as a matter of controversy between two rival groups of physicians and politicians, and not as a matter of controversy between New Yorkers and Mr. Rosenwald, it is said. About two weeks ago Dr. Llewellyn Harris, Rosenwald field agent, came to New York to see about a hospital survey. His opinion was that Harriott three hospitals, the Edgecomb Sanatorium, the International Hospital and the Wilson Sanatorium were all in need of standardizing and he persuaded the Manhattan Medical Society to call a meeting to discuss a survey. It is evident that Dr. Harris did not know that the meeting would result in a reflection of the survey or he would not have risked creating the desirable publicity that the affair caused. Following Dr. Harris's remarks and some from Dr. Davis, white of the Pundition's medical service bureau, a long denomination letter from Feddinand Q. Morton B. Schneid, was read, and the association voted to reject the survey. Leaders here pointed out that Mr. Morton was not a physician and that around fifty of the hundred and fifty Harlem doctors took the license to determine this vital community ques- North Harlem Group Two nights later, the North Harlem Medical Society, from which the Manhattan Medical Society was an offshoot, met and voted to accept the Rosenwald survey proposition, so that the incident was by no means closed by the Morton letter and the consequent rejection by the Manhattan group. An actual situation is that there are two major groups of physicians and both well organized. Some few months back, a dinner was given in honor of Dr. Connors white, chief physician at Harlem Hospital. There were few, if any, North Harlem members on hand, because it was a Manhattan affair. But a most conspicuous guest was Democratic Leader Ferdinand Q. Morton. It was a worthy tribute to Dr. Connors who had, in reorganizing the institution so as to increasing the colored physician facilities to achieve meritorious parity with whites at Harlem Hospital, "ousted" several white doctors—many of them of long service. Sharing equal honors with Dr. Connors at the dinner, however, was Leader Morton, who was credited with politically making parity task of Dr. Connors. Among those dropped at the time of the reorganization of Harlem's staff was the eminent young surgeon, Dr. U. Conrad Vincent; and the common gossip of the laity was that Wright and Vincent were bitter professional rivals. He built the hospital which bore his name. His health temporarily failed, however, and his institution passed to control of a private hospital. Those who direct International are not Manhattans, and Sea Turtle Carried 25 Pounds of Meat WHITE STONE, Va.—During the month of September, Mr. William Allen Beauchamp was fishing with a two-year-old hook and line. To his surprise, he caught a sea turtle weighing seventy-seven pounds. After the turtle was skinned, twenty-five pounds of solid meat was distributed among his friends. there never was any love lost as between International and Edgecombe State University. Whatever political effort the anti-Mantahannie doctors have used to carry their convictions into effect were blocked by Marton. And, in attempted retaliation during the recent election campaign, two of the anti-Mantahannie physicians made every effort to get his scalp—unsuccessfully of course. In so far as Mr. Morton's praise of Harlem Hospital goes, no one here criticizes his letter read in opposition to the Rosenwald Foundation survey of Harlem's black residents. What hurts, however, is his gratuitous chastisement of Mr. Rosenwald in the conduct of his business enterprises simply because his agents offered to assist Nog hospitals in Harlem to better serve a community which could stand better service. And it has been said that the Rosenwald Foundation would have half million to Edgecombe Saporatum, Manhattan would have gone on record in ecstacles over the Chicago philanthropist's generosity. N.A.A.C.P. Spent $1,209 to Beat Parker Senators NEW YORK.—That the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People spent $1209.04 in the last election campaign, to defeat the Senators who voted.

The funds were expended as follows. $891.61; Delaware, $13.76; Kansas, $300.45; and Rhode Island, $3.20, the last being the charge for a long distance call. Both Ohio and Kansas were visited by N. A. C. speakers on tour by the White and Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois and Kansas by William Fickens, N.A.A.C. P. field secretary. Two Senators the N.A.A.C.

The Woman's Tonic Famous EX-FOLLIES GIRL AGAIN LEAVES DOCTOR HUBBY Separation of Helen Lee Worthing and Dr. Eugene Nelson Said to be Final. AN mixed marriages be a success? Can the chasm of racial differences agravated by bitter American prejudice be successfully bridged? Another argument on th' negative side was offered this week when it was announced that Helen Lee Worthing, "Folles" beauty, a full time nurse from her hubby, Dr. Eugene Nelson, of Los Angeles. "Dope and drinking, with her unhappiness in marriage with her colored husband, forced her physician in Los Angeles to send her to work, from the 'perfectly inhilable condition' in which he said she lived," according to the white dallies who are seeking to establish an extinguishing circuit, to Helen. Helen may attempt a stage comeback after her nerves are restored or she may marry the mysterious "Jack" of earlier days, whose retusal to marry her start? the depressions waited in her marriage to Dr. Nelson. Fat Contract Nominated by the beasties in the 1922 film *The Greatest Showman*, he beats most likely to succeed. Helen started for Hollywood armed with a knife and a sword. The tabs are felling this story. "Hardly had she arrived in the West. Helen admits now, she received a telegram from her former swimmer, Jack. She hurried back to New York and (Jack) called it all a joke. "She attempted suicide then, by her mercury tablets. The first of the next year she again went to Hollywood, where she suffered a complete breakdown. She met a friend, recording to Helen, he was one of the few who offered her sympathy and love. "He didn't matter whether Eugene and I are separated," said Helen. "I shall always think him in the kindest way. He was the only one who gave me gentleness, kindness and compassion." When it became known that Nelson was colored, he and his beautiful white bride were forced to move from swamy to swamy, living to live, to the colored section. It was then that Helen, suffering from the lowering of her social status and the glare of public opinion, sought booze and "Now she is 'coming back.'" "Anything b.: Love" "It is interesting to note to what substitute for love will find to a mixed marriages: the mysterious 'fock' in this case is purely a hic- ture, but it will be to place the ex-Pollens girl in a state of mental deservation when she married the physician. This subterfuge is purely unnecessary because by the time of the 'lore' the physician was supposed in be, white. Similar Cascs An almost similar howl was raised over the marriage of Charles Brookins of Iowa' State University, to a white clerk in the office of the university, who will be required to coach Brookins on the very borderline of the two races in competition, and was named the famous Alice Jones-Kiphine lance case, which stirred the whole country a few years ago, was also a candidate in the blood of the wife was of negligible significance. Yet the knowledge its presence is sufficient to send prejudiced America into convulsions. Phil Edwards Even cosmopolitan New York found itself worked up into a frenzy over the announcement that Phil Edward's wife, Diana, united himself a wife of pure Caryan stock. The fact that the bride was the daughter of a jantor and the groom was the son of a member of the army was the little difference in theached attitude of the press. The color element in the previously-mentioned case was not existent and Edward's Edwards was decidedly Negroed. Jack Johnson, former champion heavyweight, was constantly in hot water over his marriage to Ski paid with his life for his love for Nordic dancers. Little commotion is raised over the fact that George, the writer, saintist, and champion of Negro rights, has a white wife, although the fact is generally known. By a peculiar coincidence, the wife of this writer is a Texas, a hot-bed of race prejudice. Many stage stars have broken through the color line. Advices to the APBO this week were that her white hubby who was at onetime supposed to be a count, are on the high seas, en route to America, and that her personage is said to have made violent love to Ethel Waters and pled with her to marry him; while she is counted as Rancho Santa Monica and an Austrian countess shocked two continents.

She was only a little colored girl from the United States, when, four years ago, she tried her luck in the music halls of Paris. She had something new, and was starred at the Follies Bergere for two seasons. She opened a gay Montmartre night club, signed contracts for the movies and married her. Then, as suddenly as her star of fortune rose, it fell in dimness. The "blackbottom" had gone out of fashion, and although all could certainly count, couldn't do much more than things else. She had to sell her cabaret and took her count and pet monkey away on a tour. Bad breaks pursued Josephine Vienna gave her a tour of Budapest, Budapest did not play at all, Budapest didn't like her, and she was a "flop" in Berlin and South America. But suddenly Josephine turned in great style at Deauville this summer. Her career was still fine, her sported a leopard, cat which she sported as a dog.

Mrs. George West, a New York friend of the little bon bon, writes as follows: "It is quite true that Neeka Shaw, who appears in Blackbirds, was born Philadelphia, but about three years ago she arrived in New York from Chicago and trained with the late Henry Creamer and eleven other girls. It was his ambition to twelve weeks and out-dance any covered girl in town. "Six of these girls were former pupils of Amanda Kemp, Harlem's popular dancing teacher. The girls found it rather difficult to keep in mind his steps which were the technique of which he was more concerned about. They were apt despite their age, which ranged from seventeen to twenty-two.

Jennings, on the first Sunday of August, opened the days' collection which was in the neighborhood of $50.00, besides the $250 which the Trustee and Steward Board borrowed from Harry O. Wilson's Bank, and too, the secretary of the Trustee Board, was sent an additional sum of $40, all to bring him from Pensacola, Florida, here, to assume the porateur in the near future. The church is now struggling to cover $6,000, left over from former pastors. The Reverend Timothy Bobby, pastor of Union Baptist Church, who, not content, with the salary of $2,400 per year, service of jailor, and free use of parsnip, requested the memorial service of the pastor, covenant meetings, to supply his baby with the service of a nurse, and his home with a housekeeper. And, as if this was not enough, an intimation was given to the meetings, that the pastor like other hired workers, was not above accepting tips from his flock.

Negro Press NEW YORK. — Reclining gracefully in a colorful dressing gown on an oriental divan in her cozy apartment in the exclusive Park-Lincoln on Edgecombe Avenue, Alberta Hunter, handsome a n d talented singer and hostess, just back from m a n y triumphs abroad, grew bitter today as she contrasted her reception in Europe with that in the United States. When she steamed into New York harbor and saw the Statute of Liberty she actually wept, she said. "The only time, I knew I was colored in Europe was when I came. in contact with certain types of white Americans. The United States consul in Paris absolutely refused to render me any assistance when a thief broke into my room in my hotel and stole some valuable clothing. "American Negrophobes are solely responsible for any unpleasantness Negroes encounter in Paris. Want Only Niggerism "Here in America," Miss Hunter continued, "my reception has been so different. The theatrical agents are very unkind and brusque, regardless of one's record. They do not want to be a Negro performer; all they do is niggerism; a whole lot of footstamping and shouting. "In Europe it is just the opposite—we are in a certain groove and keep him there. The white agents here will give the most mediate white actors consideration before they will a Negro with the finest European reputation. "They tell Negroes that a European reputation amounts to nothing but they will pay a white performer twice the salary he formerly received. "They abused. Many of these white performers I have myself seen hissed off the stage in Paris and London. "So far as I am concerned," she said, "we are be willing to stay in Europe always, and my work was heartily appreciated. I got a great reception: I met such men socially as Somerset Maugham, the playwright and Serge Voronoff, the noted scientist. "For one and a half years I was with Paul Robeson in 'Show Boat' in London, and later I was well reigned as a headliner at the Chez Panisse restaurant and Kutcherbocker in Monte Carlo, and other places at Nice and Cannes."

Moving along 132nd Street, to Seventh Avenue, over 133rd Street, is St. Nicholas Avenue the procession marshaled by members (honorary bearers) of the Florence Mills Theatrical Association, on foot, presented a solemn spectacle, from the "Green Pastures" cast. Flo Mills, the association, the Theatre Guild, the wife of the deceased and many other friends, bespoke the respect and endearment, the cast, cast had tilted him. To many folks, this grand old gentleman who had played to old audiences, who had played to children, shows, was known as "Shuffle Alone," known as Wesley to youngsters that knew and adored him, he was "Uncle West." Calvin Haynes, who made all the funeral arrangements, paid tribute and told how the children celestiously on the show sought out "Gabe" for fair tales, canvases and paintings in New York's "Pastures," Chicago in "Pony," in Cleveland, Baltimore in "Irwin C.

He was eulogized by Mr. Harper, who played to the play. Even in death Chas. Wesley Hill played to a full house, standing room at a premium. Marc Connelly, the producer of the play, and his staff, were present, and of whites that had seen Hill were on hand to pay their respects. A solist that not only drew tears from the gatherings but shed them herself, hit the house like a thunderbolt. Hall Johnson and his chair rendered Hill's favor. He called Heaven "I Wee Heaven" and started in to Make it My Home." Haynes related how "Gabe" used to stand in the wings each time this piece was sung, a far-off look in his eyes. sermon by the pastor of St. Mark's was followed by his praises and experiences, with Hill.

The occasion of the address was the inauguration of a series of lectures on music with "Negro Authors' Week" in Philadelphia. Elaborating on his statement Mr. Johnson said: "This music will not be either folk or académic something artiste," the composer will rear upon this folklore a superstructure which will rise above racial lines: "Many have often wondered why America has not had a national music of 'and I a: of the opinion that it has been because the American has not had, or at least thought he did not have, the folk subsof from the national art." "The American has either been ashamed of the Negro subsoil, or he has never given it serious consideration." Favorable Comparison The speaker also expressed the opinion that Negro spiritual doesn't suffer by comparison with any folk me A definite awakening of the consciousness of the white people country to the power of the people in the creative force was pointed to by the speaker as having largely the result of the schooling young Negro authors produced with in the past.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly The BLACK LILY by CORA BALL MOTEN SECOND NSTALLMENT John Northington's hand was skricken into frozen immobility for a single tense minute. The next, a wild-eyed, half- naked figure plunged out of the undergrowth and dashed, stumbling and moaning inarticulate cries, directly toward the watercraft. The last stumbling leap carried him into the shallow water separat- er the piquere from the shore. A great, ugly black head reared left of the coding mud as he passed. Sharp aster teeth clicked, omnibus. A shred of flying grey-green cloth was left waving like some sordid flag of victory between the monstrous jaws, as the head sprawled again into the slime. The stumbling, plunging figure reached the edge of the water, flung itself and floundered painting and gobbling to the side of the pirogue. With torn and bloodstained hands it gripped the side of the sturdy boat. The paddle in Nortington's hands descended with its force. A sudden hunk spilled the aim. What might have been a death blow blow struck the half-bummed man a smacking kick that half turned his head back and up. The lifted paddle paused with a jerk in its descent for the blow. smooth man who held it uttered an armature cry and dropped his weapon onto the bottom of the boat. With the same movement he stooped and seized the slipping hands in a firm hold. A low many trembled across the midway. He segged into unconsciousness. With a mighty straining he John Northington drew him into the boat. The water closed with a sinister splash over the spot where the big black corrugations of a predatory crocodile appeared under the english surface. Her eyes fluttered open when a dripping form was dropped beside her own. She turned her head with the quick jerk of reflex fear. Her eyes blinked and dilated quiescerly. as she gazed on the still face. Blood was coming slowly from a cut high up under his hair line. He was only limp and twisted half across the chest. The girl raised herself limply onto her elbow and it a ragged corner at her robe attempted to staunch the cooling blood. Her lips whisperingly caressed a name. "Ramon," she said, in the wood was all the warm sweetness of the world of human love. Nortingham still panting from the exertion of a moment before retrieved the paddle. "Do what you can for him, senorita," he admonished anxiously. "We'd better get away from here. It's a safe bet that those devils are on his trail and he must be pretty to get his lips grimly and sunk the paddle into the dark water. The movement sent the craft out into the middle of the stream. Overhead the sun beat down with mercurial white heat. The raucous, unmusical cries of brilliantly tinted tropical birds, the chatter of monkeys and the dip-dip of the padjars on noises in the silence at the shot along the bosom of the sluggishly flowing river. Once Northington had stopped and filled a big calabash that was rolling about in the bottom of the craft, with water from the stream. With this the girl bathed her own and Ramon's wounds with much lachrym. But these many pumps for strength now the pain and exhaustion on the bottom of the boat inadequately sheltered by the crude awning that Northington had erected. Ever and anon the man at the paddle would stop and dash hands of sunwarmed water over his face and arms. But this treatment only seemed to accent the heat of the craft, putting in pantsing. Perspiration streamed into his eyes and half blinded him. The rough cloth of the priest's hood clung in damp folds against his cheeks and rubbed his dripping neck uncomfortably. His muscles ache until it seemed that he could not the heavy paddle for another stroke, and eyes burned with the terrible heat but he knew he must keep on. In the thick tangle of forest, and impassable bush on either side of his river path there lurked unknown dangers from man and beast and reptile. The wounded man and girl in the pique were worse than useless for help in case of emergency. Suddenly a faint, long-drawn stinging call seemed to spring from nowhere and everywhere at once. It swelled and diced and swelled again ever nearer and nearer until every tree-tops seemed to quiver and tremble. Then it ceased as sudely as it began. Like an answering cry a strange throbbing sound began. It beat through the abrupt stillness with the anothered thump-thump of a giant heart irregularly spaced a n d dramatically it agitated. At the first sound the man and girl froze into a tensely compelled attention. When the irregular, beatiful, permeated the atmosphere and seemed to spread and throb from every point of the compass that attention stiffened and appeared to draw itself together like the concentration of a fire. It was as if the sounds carried some message of life or death to the listeners. John Northington, looking down at them, ceased for a moment from his doous task and leaned heavily on the thick handle of the paddle in questioning attention. The last sinister throb died away long muffled roll, the two half howl up in tense listening attitudes. The boodless faces to the exhausted man and women. "There is no hope, Jack?" THE AFRO-AMERICAN Montez, his fine dark eyes glazed with terror, his tortured body still quivering with the pain of the horrible searing irons of the torture rite of his savage subjects, and exhausted by the superhuman efforts that had carried him thus far toward escape, dropped hopelessly back on the rugs, he uttered the words. "What is it? What do those sounds mean?" John Northington's face grew grim with purpose and determination. He waited for the answer. "They have found our trail. A single searcher is watching us. The call was, his tribal 'view halloo.' The answer will bring a bunching of the hunt that all may be in 'at the death.' He shuddered and the girl shuddered with him. He lower and with a despairing gesture threw her arms around him where he lay. He placed his good arm across hers in mute tenderness. "Iff ze death could come soon, my Ramon," she whispered, "it would be bettaire." She looked bee-sechingly into the face of John Northington as she uttered the words. "You haf the death—ze so kind death in ze骨, Senor. Eat it bettaire for all. Ze oathaire." She hesitated and a violent trembling came her. Ramon turned his gaze up to his friend's face. There was a dumb acquiescence in his looks and the words that followed were hollow with despair. "She is right, Jack. There is nothing that can surpass the hellish torture to which they will put us, and you will share it with us. I am a priest of that Flower of the Black Lily their forests, because of the queer phenomenon at blooming. Think of it!" he laughed bitterly. "Because a flower is oddly colored and at its blooming explodes its seed in a fine mist of spraying moisture, a nation of people worship it and prostitute it to nameless to the knowledge of its ruler and high priest cannot convince them of the ignorant superstition that makes of innocent people ravening fiends. My God—" "But, the girl had placed one hand over the man's mouth, my Ramon forges evil spirit. I am a Spiral. She was abject fear of her in her trembling, awed tones, "Ze Flower He is kisses Death, Spray, to unbelievers an in marriage He take se Bride by Ze Breath off Hiss Lifo, to himself." She shuddered. "Det is ses, Senor." She looked at John Northumberland. There was no doubt, he uttered faith in the woman she uttered. "Well, maybe all you both are saying is so, and maybe not. But I'm not dead till I'm killed and I am going to get out of this or die trying, and I am going to take you both with me." The big bronze man gripped the paddle more firmly between his hands and sent the prouge horse along the left bank there was a long rustling that ran along paralleling the course of the traveling boat. Northington, with his hearing preternaturally sharpened by anxiety, heard it. Already at the limit of his strength, his face paedo with his realized his inability to cope with superior strength just now. Just beyond lay a bend the stream. A somewhat more thinly wooded cap appeared into the stream almost directly in the front course of the prouge. As he neared the point the rustling sound advanced and seemed to bear outward towards the point of land. John Northington slowed the stroke of his paddle as he drew a hew and 'peered cautiously into deep shadow behind bordered point behind. His gaze was rewarded. He caught the flickering irregular movement of a bit of grey-green cloth that under less careful scrutiny might have been a waving bladder of bladder leaf. Boldly he turned his beat in shore- and ran it against the projecting beach. The bit of grey green instantly paused in the shadows. John Northington gathering his hat, remaining strength together climbed out of the long craft. He stepped onto the "There's no good in trying to get away." Ramon's voice followed him. "The scout, trailer is watching us from somewhere even now. Of course he could pick us all off with a poisoned arrow. But that is not my people's way when Chosen Bride of the Sacred Flower and its High Priest, who recanted their faith, and broken the Oath. DEATH in its most horrible form alone can atone for that crime." He laughed and盐性ally. battery. Northington did not answer. He turned as if to rest a minute from the labor of pulling the pirogue up onto the sloping bank. As he leant forward he fumbled for a minute in the bottom of the boat. When he straightened he held the strung bow that he had taken from the dead guard in his hand. Before a man could run two steps he had raised the bow and spilled through the red winged shad that danced with the shadows. It struck with a dull muffled thud at the same instant that Northington leaped forward to the place where the small square of grey-green cloth began a violent fluttering. Before he cleared the space, a long ululating cry split the air and went echoing and re-echoing out into the forest. Ramon and Dolores, overcoming wounds and exhaustion, spray up and joined in the struggle of John Northington in a gripping truss, grabbing the trussing, fighting, grabed robed form of man toward the boat. Before the cry could ring out again, Ramon's right hand gripped the arm by the hand and Dumont lent his aid in dragging the boat. As he was pulled in, his struggles suddenly ceased. He stiffened and grew rigid, then with two or three convolusive tremors, lay quite still. Northington leaped into the boat and hastily pushed it again into the stream. The thud-thud-thum of far drums was sounding from all sides, and the trees as he gripped the paddle and with deep perate strength craft down again to the center of the river. The current, a little swifter here, caught it and helped it forward. We can only make the rapids." It was Hamon who spoke. As he finished, John Northington weak from loss of sleep, and food, and hunger, suddenly slumped forward and slid into the bottom of the boat. The paddle slipped from his hand and hit smartly against the side as it splashed into the water. END OF THIRD INSTALLMENT THE COUNTRY REPORTER The Book of Achievement—The World Over, featuring the Negro in Chicago, from 1779 to 1928, edited by William H. Jackson and by the Washington Intercollegiate Club of Chicago, covers briefly the accomplishments of outstanding American Negroes or groups of Negroes in Chicago, and preceible measure of success in any given line of endeavor. It is written in memory of the hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Jean Baptiste Chicago in Chicago, a trailer and founder who founded what was then known as Eschkogiog in 1779. The book covers achievements in the fields of letters, music, art, invention, and fashion, not only reviews the past, and present, but also points the way to future development particularly in the line of business and industry. The book also portrays it is devoid of personage movements and achievements of Chicago. Although Dock Real of Spindle, N.C., who was run down by an auto last Sunday night, suffered the loss of several teeth, a broken jaw-bone, several broken ribs and fractured skull, he is better, a correspondent writes us.

Mr. Melvin Smallwood of Williamston, N.C., was killed by her husband while walking down Main Street. Billy Bracket, little son of Dr. A. B. Bracket, of Hendersonville, N.C. has a remarkable memory. When 27 months old he could recite 96 Mother Goose rhymes, all that his mother had ever read to him. Mrs. Mary Stewart, of Culpeper, Va., who served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War as a nurse, was granted a pension during her lifetime of eight dollars. She is said to be the only colored woman in this town getting such a pension. John W.

He has been with the DuPont Company for fifteen years. Willis Staton, of Tarboro, N.C., who claims his age as 109 years, having been born October 7, 1820, has been admitted to the county home. The old man is active at his age, and can answer all questions asked him. He has never been in the court house, but one time in his life and when he seized it in the recollection days. He made application and it was acted on immediately and he is now passing his declining days in the county home. Reasons for Rejoicing This business of child-training with its necessary disciplinary adjustments needs to be supported as often as possible. b. *reasons for rejoicing.* Sometimes we may have to look for them rather diligently, even feeling at time, perhaps, the need of a memorial microphone, to record and reveal them, but, the search always has its reward. We need to stop shouting about mistakes and criticisms and get away from fussiness and nagging and from detail discipline. We should all be happier and likewise more successful guides in character-building if we measure conduct by broad appraisals rather than by individual acts or impetuous words.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, December 20, 1930 The Author has below started a series of extraordinary hypothetical stories which draw heavily upon the imagination but which plague the imagination. In the past, when science will have been supplanted into the future, when doubleless air travel will have practically supplanted land travel, when science will have achieved the "impossible" in effecting frequent and comparatively easy communication with the planet Mars, when science will have completely controlled by the limitless possibilities of scientific invention. Not only are these stories ingenuous but stimulate breath-taking thrills, by depleting the possibilities of life on the earth many years after the present generation has become extinct. The author is indebted to the furious imagination and you must agree that he writes with astonishing reality. LOVE ON MARS By JOHN P. MOORE PART II THE CHAMBLIER WAS in pitch darkness, the helium torch that had hung against the stone wall wasn't there. Nothing was there. No green-clad figure of an Elsian captain met Sito's roving, aching eyes as he gradually regained consciousness; no prostrate form of the beautifully dark Ioane. Captain Sto groaned. He attempted to raise himself from his spacious position; on the floor, his arm weakened and he slumped back with a gasp; and for a minute he lay there, a ghastly feeling at the pit of his stomach, the stagnant odors of foul chemicals clinging to his nostrils. Ya! It was if it all had been a devilish dream! Then, suddenly driven by a thirst for action, Sto began to crawl. As his body moved, spasmodically through the vast blackness it was on his chest, Sto Ioane; about the flendish-looking Elsian captain A great anger possessed him. He didn't feel the biting cold of the stone floor on his hands, or on his bruised knees. Instead, with a sudden start, he became aware that he was crawling along flush against a stone wall, and he continued painfully onward, like a Pragian air-closing its way through a black cloud. One, two, three minutes passed. His hands came into contact with a heap of battered, material which must have once been part of a door, and he knew instinctively, rather than remembered, that beyond it a long, musty hall. On one, As his face was darkened, of the wrecked door a gust of cold air poured into his face and he felt suddenly strengthened. Soon, quite soon, Captain Stoa was up and leaning against the wall — And then to silence and silence was added something that made him recoil in his tracks. From somewhere nearby came a thick voice. His face hardened. He was so scared, somehow different — soft, passionate, so soothing. It said: "foane." "Toane," it burst out again suddenly, "you do be open the beautiful eyes! Ya! You do! Say to Captain Pignoff, no! From out of the darkness came a woman named Captain Sto crouched moment against the wall and then threw himself against the invisible door with the ruthlessness of a demon. His body crashed again into something that gave way immediately and the nex. instant he went staggering into another thy room, a helium torch flickering against it, all ground grinding little figure of the Elisan kneeling over the beautiful Ioane, as if he had just pressed his lips to hers. Sto rushed him instantly. The woman went back to the floor and the Elisan went grunting backward as a room. The wall stopped him. The Elisan went slowly burst from his lips. Sto had reached from down and grasped Ioane in his arms. "She does go out of here now!" he spat, and started for the door, but the now enraged Elisan flung himself across the room and dealt out a terrific blow on his rivals face, stunning him. "Na! She do stay!" The Martian in green sprang in water, whirling his fists as he Sto staggered out then the middle of the floor, "She do ya! Ta! You go — or me — do see! Captain Pignoff be rather die! He love her!" What happened then must have gone down in Martian romantic history! The great Spite War between the Elisian and Pragian kingdoms was literally fought all over again. Ioane, trapped in a corner, watch... them. Her reaction bore out the reason for the fierce girl in the fine feast-kind part of the recently conquered Elisian Kingdom, where Captain Pignoff had many a time ordered "veak" and "fingo" when he neither thirsted nor hungered. where Captain So's romantic advances had been smothered with a cutting, almost scowlful laugh. Neither soften nor forlorn, the disdainful cutter for lips, did she nor that wasn't strange, for all life the girl had lived in fear of men. "Be foolish!" she suddenly cried, as the two black Martian officers whipped into each other again and again; "Be foolish! What be it you battle for?" The battle went on. No answer came from them. Anyway, Ioane knew the answer, and so she answered her woman's soul, "You be loane! Ioane! All! Na! Men do say! Men say it to my mother and where be she now? Deserted! You be foolis! Ioane love! love no man." And yet, if you had been there you would have seen the beautiful dark woman's lips tremble, seen the scorn gradually vanish from her eyes, seen the great change which came over he when the two compact bundles of Martian flesh and bones collided again now with an impact which gass off a dull thud. It had been a battle of brains and brawn. Even now they were battling as if they were the warriors they are said to dwell in that vast snow-bound area between the two great black Martian kingdoms! — gothas. They charged and countercharged. They ripped and sputtered. They smashed and Their faces and fists smelled with blood, their uniforms ripped to She stood there, with the fingers of her right hand spread fan-like upon her breast, gasping. She stood there with the fingers of her right hand spread fan-like upon her breast, gasping. shreds, the men, both reeling with exhaustion, made their last stand. Both shrieked the war cry of their kind. Both charged. Two pains of back pain in black flesh. Two fierce grunts were born; two Martian curses filled the room and two tattered bodies went crumbling down to the stone floor. The battle was over — the battle in which neither brain nor brawn had triumphed! Ioane saw them go down. She saw the one in green, quiver and grow suddenly very still. She saw the one in red, writhe and writhe. Why be he not die? Wild-eyed, Ioane scrambled ably, to what, what. What to do, what to do? What be it Ioane the Man-hater should do? "Ioane!" Already she had flown to the door. "Ioane!" She stood there with the fingers of her right hand spread fan-like upon her breast, gasping. "Ioane!" Now, like an earthly bird which hestates to accept freedom, she drew further back into the room, her lips trembling. Something penetrated into her woman's heart, something new, something compelling, something sweet, exhilarating, soothing. "IOANE!" "It be I, Captain Sto." "I be love you, Ioane!" Silence, a long, sweet silence, and then, "And." And I. be love you, Captain Sto. I say you be fool. But... but it be Ioane who be fool —" "Ioane!" As Captain Sto ended the story of Ioane, I was suddenly presented with an example of Martian enthusiasm. He jumped up to his feet and, with little stone images, each representing a woman in his life, went crashing to the floor! "Ioanet" he cried. "Ioanet do bless this house soon!" (THE END) Advice to Girls This question is asked by a young wife in the windy city of Chicago My dear Mrs. Jerome: When I married. Jim two years ago he had an excellent job and he made me promise that I would never care of his wife, he said, and he felt proud that he could give me pretty things and leisure enough to always look and feed fresh to him. He would send me! But now how different things are! He has been out of work four months and our savings are all gone. He tramps the streets and he stares at his silently staring at the floor. Now, I used to be a beauty expert and know where I could work but I am not. Jim. He is so proud that I fear he won't accept my help. But if I don't do it he will in desperation go to racketeering or maybe worse. I know he has offers to a crime ring. What shall he do? ANXIOUS. Stop feeling so much awe of your husband and have a comradely talk with him. Tell him that your love and respect do not rest upon money. Tell him that you have as much right to keep your marriage intact as has he; that you would a thousand times rather work than have him go into something else might mean the loss of his liberty. Say to him that, as an equal partner in your relationship, it is your duty in time of stress; to keep the home fires burning; that you do not mind working and would consider it rather a lark after your long rest. remind him that wives all over the country now are going out to help their men and you; consider it an honor to contribute something to a love which has been so beautiful. Also suggest that he take up the study of some new trade and quit looking for work for a country monthly and for a year. By that things will be easier. Then put on your hat and walk out of the house and get your job. --- THE RICH SCRUB GIRL By DONN BRYAN Well-Known Feature Writer MOLLY CAGE attracted a world of attention and found herself in the glare of the spotlight almost before she knew it, and this was exactly what she wasn't looking for, didn't crave, wouldn't have had at all, if she could have escaped it. But fate is fickle, and poor little Molly could do nothing to ward off the cruel blow that Kismet landed against her frail physique. Molly could have purchased, had she wished, anything that pleased her fancy and given a check for it on the spot, whether a amount of money, thirty thousand. Money problems did not faze her. In her life love and romance were everything. Her father had made a fortune overnight in oil, and Molly came into possession of his vast estate upon his death. In fact, this noble colored girl had more money than she knew how to spend and competed with an army of competitors and spoiled by loving parents who wouldn't let her soil her delicate brown hands. Therefore, it was strange when she performed with a daring dexterity the stunt that placed her in the limelight. It wouldn't have been so extraordinary if she had been the healthiest man known to make faces of both women and men who feel its strong currents. In another part of the northwest Missouri town where she resided lived a prominent novelist who was steadily gaining a place at the top of the ladder of success. He was forty and single, rather good looking, and certainly brilliant of mind. Molly Cage met him in society but she knew that he had forgotten her almost as soon as introduction. There was something quite old-fashioned about Roy De Horne. That was his name in private life. His writings appear under a mon de plume. Molly Cage recognized love when it came to her. She had been stayed for it; that is, the sort of aesthetic that was wanted. She might have married a hundred men in her town and all of them mad with admiration for her, but she wanted the love of man she could love in return. She was chic and demure. She possessed a sense of manure and charm that made men sit and take notice. Albeit she was shy, she had her way with men, as she had with her parents. But this story concerns her sacrificing desire to win response to her frantic love for the writer-gentleman. When she found that she could not be near him in any other way, she accepted a position in his small cottage near the water tower as a scrub girl. He picked a picture pampered and placed Molly Cage scrubbing floors with her bearded fingers and her silken ultra-modern styles? But love-Aye, love enslaves them all; there are few, if any, who can withstand its irrational demands. Of course, De Horne did not know that she was crazy about him, and perhaps did not care. He simply thought that she was a poor girl in need of employment and he told her when she presented herself at his house that he would give her five dollars a week to keep the floors of his small house. But he was somewhat of a reuse, he avoided the social life of the city as much as possible. He worked incessantly. Sometimes he worked day and night. Therefore, it is perfectly natural that he for- "She slipped into the side entrance of his cottage over night, knowing this door was always unlocked, and hid herself in the entertainment room, where she was a city woman, who had there to renew old acquaintances. And while she was hidden in the closet she listened to their conversation, and then enclosed in a warmly sealed secretly "shelter." got about having met. Molly Cage, before, that he had shaken, her hand, that he had bestowed upon her one of his winning, smiles in the drawing room of her fashionable house in an exclusive residential district. He had too many other matters to occupy his mind to remember such commonplace incidents. Molly Cage devoted every book, the most of these books were about brazen women who possessed sufficient nerve to go after the thing they wanted. Consequently Molly crammed her pretty little head full of many sensational ideas, and what resulted made interesting columns for the newspapers. Once the famous novelist walked into the low-ceilinged kitchen where she was down upon her hands and knees scrubbing the base of the crude stone fireplace, and told her that she wasn't scrubbing properly. From anyone else that would have been delighted in it—delighted in hearing the sound of his voice whether he reproached or praised her. Then he pointed with the toe of his polished shoe to a spot on the stone that she had missed. "You'll have to do better than that," he expressed or "I'll have to employ another girl." "I'll do better, she averted," "you may rest assured of that. Just give me another chance." She sat there on the floor looking up at him. Yet, she could 'have bought and sold the man. "You'll get all the chances you deserve," he rejoined, and then walked off and left her. Then she found that she had stood it as long as she could. Copying after-one of the characters in his stories, she decided to go after what she wanted in the manner of a real woman of the world, who was thickly coated with cosmetics and the side entrance of this cottage one night, knowing this door was always unlocked, and hid herself in a clothes closet. He was entertaining a woman from the outside world, a city woman who had come down there to renew old acquaintances. And while, she was hidden in the closest she listened to their conversation and gleaned enough information to believe the lost heirs that night and slipped home again, without having accomplished her supreme desire. While she was scrubbing his study the next day he took advantage of the opportunity and flaunted her girlish charms in his face. She knew how to do with amused toleration. Perhaps he was as fully surprised as he had ever been in his life when she suddenly threw her arms around him and pressed her lips against his mouth. He shewed her away from him. "You ought to be ashamed of yourself," said reproachfully. "You like women," she remonstrated. "Why don't you like me?" "You're too young for a man like me," he too protested. "and—there few teractics. 'I love you,' she is some difference in our standing." With that he withdrew from the room. Molly was afraid she would be dis- He looked at her in amazement. Have 3 Suits Tied Up for No Trump Bid INITIAL NO TRUMP BIDS And now comes the No Trump, To begin with, I want to advise against a No Trump complex. Don't think that any kind of a hand that hasn't a suit bid in it a No Trump hand. For it isn't, just as a suit bid conveys certain information to your partner so does a No Trump. A suit-bid tells your partner that: Your hand contains at least four cards in the suit name, headed by an Ace or two other honors, and he is count on you having two quick tricks. An initia! No Trump bid tells your partner: You have three suits stopped at least once, and a hand above the average strength. Further, a suit-bid is an invitation to your partner to go to No Trump; a No Trump, is an invitation to your partner to declare a suit. So you see that both declarations will practically net the same results. The suit-bid gives your partner the information that will probably make the combined hands a better No Trump and vice versa. In the foregoing paragraph I mentioned that your hand was above the average hand, and that three suits safely stopped. I will explain what is meant by a hand being above the Average. An average hand contains 1 Ace, 1 King, 1 Queen and 1 Jack, such as: H K-X-X-X; C-X-X; C J-X-X. This strength can be divided among the four-suits as the preceding example shows or among two suits or three suits. S:A-K-Q-J; H X-X-X; D X-X-X; C X-X-X. These hands are just average hands. A No Trump Declaration allows your hand to be above the average. To make a hand above the average you must have another Ace, or another King, or another Jack, or an other hand, or the above shown strength such as: A: S-J-X: H K-Q-X: D X-X-X: C K-X-K-X: *This hand is above the average because he holds 1 King, more than the average. A hand can be above the average and still not be a No Trump hand. *The average and can have all the strength in one suit or divided in two suits and this certainly would not be an initial No Trump bidding hand. To bid No Trump this strength must be divided to safely stop suits. Quite often you will hold hands that give you an option of either a suit-bid or a No Trump but these will be taken up a little now. We deal only with No Trump. *(To be Continued Next Week.) TOO TOUCHFUL *The kind little wife had just informed her husband that she had mended a new hole in his trousers pocket. *"I am not thoughtful, dear?" she "You are, darling," he replied. All the way down town he won- dered how she had discovered the hole. carried, but she wasn't. Then at a social function the following evening, at her home, she hid in a room upstairs while her mother lavisily entertained the author and a number of guests. She was afraid that he would recognize her. "Gawd, I love that man," she murured, while she lay sobbing on her bed in her luxurious pink and blue boudor. The next day she resorted to different tactics. "I love you," she declared in the study, walking in on Horne, "and I want you to return to it." A Then, giving way to temptation, he took her into his arms and kissed her. "I'm mad about you," she whispered, nesting more closely to him. At a fashionable hall several weeks later, she revealed her true identity to her lover. He was shocked. Another man there tried to steal her attention, and the author resented it. They had words. And the writer, in a fit of anger, knocked the man down in the oak-paneled drawing room of Molly's house. They fought like two infuriated jungle-beasts. The author was the winner, but he created such a disturbance that he was ashamed of himself, and stole away. Molly slipping on to a chinchilla coat, followed him to his house, and entering at the side, she confronted him in the bedroom. It was then that he told her the truth.

Carlton & Co. INC. Eutaw and Saratoga 420 W. Franklin St. Baltimore and Calhoun REPORT O.K'D BUT COMMITTEE GETS TIN CAN Play in Association is Termed of Middle Class Order. LINCOLN UNIVERSITY—'An insult to Morgan College, the 1930 football champions of the C.I.A.A., was couched in a report of the All-Star Committee which declared that the playing of all teams throughout the season was of "middle class order," inferring that the Bears captured the title because the other association teams were not up to their usual standard. The report met with such general disapproval that it unanimously voted to discontinue the committee and abandon the practice of selecting all-star players in the future. The committee was composed of W. A. Johnson, P. Bernard Young, Jr. and Dr. S. F. Coppage, all of New York. The committee was composed of W. Washington, and W. I. Gibson, former AFCO-AMERICAN sports editor. Mr. Gibson is now a member of the faculty of Wilberforce University and did not observe any of the Eastern schools play this season. The report was as follows: Football in the C.I.A.A. during the past season was much like that of last year. An eight-man order, with just one or two teams standing out. Teams that seemed to forecast worse down the season moved down the order failed to make the mark was reached. Hampton began with a wish but failed to play. The team journey Union's brand of play was maintained, though the Panthers had nothing like the teams of old. Morgan made a move and added the season with an excellent team. The team improved improvement over last year, but failed to present a strong winning combination. Johnson G. Sinnister started off good, but began to show sluggishness. The team improved machine but not a great team, for the other eleven, a over the good team. QUALIFICATIONS The players picked here for the season's honor, a place on the all-star eleven, and a place on the all-star team in gridiron warfare. Every man's qualifications have been considered. He has been closely watched and studied throughout the season. Among these qualifications are: his all-star performance than the other fellow, and with a degree of consistency; his weak and strong points; his ability to out-guess and out-sart. A strong opposition; whether he is good only against soft foes and bad against tough assignations; whether he is unruly against all that is sent against him. THE ENDS There were few outstanding ends throughout the season. The crop was small and after the process of elimination the two teams were split. W. Stale had Payzey, Lincoln, Sydnor, Hampton, Thomas, Smith, Red Ellis, and Union, John Williams; St. Paul had Conlie. But the selection narrowed down to Williams of Union, and Thomas of Columbus.

All-Star Committee this year in THE GUAEDS The outstanding guards, were few and far apart. While most of the men played sturdy games at this post, there was little brilliance in evidence. In evidence, the men were armed, in defense, but lapped that knack of pulling from a line and showing the aggressiveness that upset the opposition on many occasions. While some of them played do not play, there were a few players whose work and worth in this department cannot be denied. After weighing the work and worth of men in the army and Bogle of Smith were even the nod as first choice. THE CENTERS This position felt far short of producing formidable centers. The play in this department was beginning, but sell down under hard knocks and steady blows. The selection of Lewis of Va. State Lewis showed the best in this department. He got off slow, but came along with a rush, a rush that stamped him as a coming THE QUARTERBACKS This was another position that furnished few candidates of true worth. We have DeBerys of A. & T. T. Cropp of Murphy and Murphy of Howard; H. Williams of Beamon of Hampton; Bob Williams of Morgan and Maxie Robinson of Union. He man showed the best during the season's play and the best of them was steady. For all-around play in this important position, Maxie Robinson of Union displayed the best of the goat as the first team. CONRAD BEST BACK There were many good halfbacks, but there were few excellent ones. There were Smith and LaMaker of Lincoln and Howell of State; Gates and Wetherford of Hampton; Alston of N.C. College and Armistad of Union. For all around play and versatility. Concerns followed closely by the most impressive, followed closely by the Marshall of Howard. Both were wonderful defensive and offensive backs with plenty of speed and dash, good on the passing and equally good on the receiving. They possessed the qualifications to place them on the first eleven and they were given their posts on their merits and worth their posts. THE FULLBACKS There were some good fullbacks roaming the fields and their work branded as them. courtesy of the list offered Harmon of Lincoln; Bounds of Va. State: Hicks of Morgan and one or two others, but the work of Bounds was of a high degree, both offensively and defensively. The loss of battle died in the distant hills, this Va. State performer tops the list as backflow MORGAN COLLEGE While some may contend that it seems plausible that's a championship team should have a larger representation than the opposing team, the fact that it is also possible for a championship team to have only a few really outstanding players. Morgan presented a championship team with stood hands and shoulders above the rest. The play of three men, the general high stall of the team and the co-operation and support of the student body accounted, in a large measure for the Bear's success. MARSHALI MOST VALUABLE The most valuable player to his team durably is the student body, and the student hand on anyone. In trying to decide the most valuable player to his team one must try to picture just how that team would be positioned in the game, any number of men valuable to their team, but their absence from the line-up sediment, if ever, cripples their team. If a player makes a man who was of real value to his eleven, Marshall stands out as an important cog in the Howard machinery.

Since the membership list of the C.I.A.A. and the All-Star Committee decided to have three teams this year instead of two. This was deemed unjust to be justice to the unhappy players whose work was of value during the season. MARSHALL HEADS BISONS IN 1931 MARSHALL HEADS BISONS IN 1931 WASHINGTON, D.C.-John Marshall, star half-back, of the Howard University eleven, was unanimously elected captain of the 1931 Bisons at the annual dinner tendered the squad in the dinner Dining Room last Wednesday night.

Open Season for Muskrat January 1 to March 5, Only The laws of Maryland provide it to be unlawful for any person to hunt any muskrat within the State. State laws require that muskrat in possession if trapped, caught or killed between the 15th day of March and the first day of January following in each and every year, both scheduled, captured, caught or killed within the State of Maryland or any other state, territory of country; provided, however, that this shall not prohibit the possession of skins of such animals in business purposes when dried and cured. Due to the extreme drought which has prevailed throughout the State 1929 and 1930, we estimate that there are about 100,000 normal catch of these animals during the coming hunting season, January 1st to March 15th, and it is very essential that we protect this great fur animal (Signed) E.

The beefsteak, along with other choice vials upon which football players have smacked their lips with relish, has been definitely and uncompromisingly outlawed by the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association which held its annual meeting at Lincoln University last Friday and Saturday. The training table, the fast bulwark of professionalism in collegiate cles, has been broken down. Free board balltots during the football season has been given a death blow. The beetlewake will shot at sunrise. This is no new thing in CIAA. circles. In their efforts to reduce athletic competition to a strictly amateur basis and eradicate the practice of hiring good players in the various schools by giving them their board and keep, the association some years ago injected a by-law making free board illegal. This year it appeared that certain schools situated in or near cities with no number of city students on their teams had been guilty of giving these young men coaches and suppers in order to hold them for late practices in the *b* games. Union Morgan, at the Shaw admitted they were guilty of offense. This was branded as illegal and this other. This time the practice was outlawed.

EDGAR LEE FOURTH IN A.A.U. RACE PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — His sinew legs padded smoothly l.l. pattons over the hard pavement of Elkins Park, and surmounting barriers with apparent ease, Edgar Lee of Lincoln University, with victory almost within his grasp, allowed Tom Ottey, junior national A.A.U. five mile champion and two other nordics from the United States, Atlantic A.A.U. cross country champions held last Saturday over the six and a half miles course around the Penn Country Club.

Smith, Livingstone and Virginia State also took it on the nose in this round. When the vote was taken the schools without academic departments voted "yes" so loud that you would have thought somebody had asked them if they wanted a million dollars. Three beautiful things, however, attended the passage of this law that I shall remember kwe, seventeenth; Bradley, eighteenth; Matthew, nineteenth; Moultrie, twentieth. Over fifty runners toed the mark for the grind. Lee's time was 31:45, forty-four seconds behind the winner. Scrappy Brown's Five Defeated. 40-31 PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — The Peerless Big Five experienced little difficulty in defeating the Lyceum Five of Newark, Friday night, at the New York City crowd of 500. Peerless Powell played best for Peerless. The one time famous "Scrappy" Brown, of Baltimore, played for Lyceum, but it looks like he was not Scrappy and shot his bolt. The score at half time was 18 to 14. TRAMP ATHLETES USED BY FISK, IS CHARGE Coaches Hucles and Taylor are Bad Boys of C.I.A.A. Circuit. Football Officials Denied Pay Increase. LINCOLN, Pa. — Coach Bill Taylor of Lincoln and Coach Hucles of Union were the bad boys of the C.I.A.A. meeting here last week. They stuck together on most issues and were constantly hatching up some scheme that raised a howl from the smaller schools. It was like sticking pins in the smaller children at a party in order to hear them cry. But the attack the North Carolina Association of Colleges which includes Shaw, North Carolina, A. & T., and Johnson C. Smith. The admission of Livingstone brings the Tarheel group up to five. Coach Robinson Wears Bearskin Coat But No Hat The St. Paul delegation included Coach Giles, who ate two meals three times a day; J. L. Whitehead, who was the busiest man in the conference, and Thomas L. Robinson, the basketball coach, who wore a black bearskin coat and no hat. Robinson was a member of the famous Wilberforce cagers who invaded the East on a tour of destruction some years ago, included some team, Ted Thompson, Ed Ritchie and Puzzy Evans, all of whom are holding coaching jobs in reputable schools. First Howard-Lincoln Game Blared Without Permission According to Vice-President Wright of Lincoln University, the first Howard-Lincoln game was played on Christmas instead of Thanksgiving Day, when a group of footballers ran off without permission and played in Washington. That occurred in 1894. The game was not played as it is now, but was a combination of soccer and rugby. James E. Harper got his jaw broken in this game and it was in this that the Lincoln university learned that the game had been played. Father E. P. Davis Pours Oil on Troubled Waters Dr. E. P. Davis, once stormy petrel of the C.I.A.A., who at one time yanked Howard out of the association, appeared in an entirely different role this year, displaying an almost fatherly interest in the proceedings as the acting president. He constantly poured oil on the troubled waters and when called upon to cast a deciding vote presented logical reasoning for his decisions that presented a challenge. Besides Dr. Davis, the Howard delegation included C. W. Davis and Frank Coleman, but not Coach Verdell. Howard was the only school whose coach was not present which gives one the impression that the coach is not such-a-much at Howard. Fisk University Uses Ineligible Players In the discussion on "tramp athletes" it was brought out that Fisk University withdrew from the Southern Conference because it did not care to be governed by the eligibility rules of any conference. This accounts for the strong team that school sent upon the field this year. The team was composed of men who had played their four years' allotted time in other associations including the C.I.A.A. and were herded together under the Fisk banner. Chief Alken, when coach of Atlanta, gathered the stars of other competitions and assisted an assistant coach to Fisk, he carried his rub with him. Whirlwind Johnson, as assistant to Alken had also gathered a group from the North and Texas. Alken left Fisk this year for Clark but his old team remained under Tubby Johnson. No Increased Pay for Football Officials The Association of Athletic Officials which handed in a petition asking for more money and uniform expenses for the game, said the reference decided to give no increase. After all the expenses are cleared up the only participants who leave the game with any money are the officers. The game officials alleged that officials had a habit of putting in for train and pullman fare and then driving to and from the game and mobiles at a minimum cost and giving the difference in their nockets. Radio Broke up Meeting The Saturday meeting of the association had & hard time holding its own as a radio in an adjoining room of the university, New York. No sooner was this attraction conquered than the rabble watching the luncon football game on the campus while Sophomore game on the campus still could resist the temptation no longer when in the last ten minutes, the score was tied 13-13.

JINCOLN UNIVERSITY. — No charges were presented against Virginia Seminary at the annual meeting of the CLAA. Conference for the alleged playing of Everett Armstrong, a former Armstrong High School, during the recent football season. Armstrong, who was captain of his high school team in Washington and one of the best backs in scholastic circles, was disciplined by his coach for violation of, ethical standards and kept on the sidelines. When Seminary learned this, Armstrong played in games although he was still enrolled in the D.C. high school. Denies Charges Vice-president G. L. McDowell, of Seminary, told the AFRO sports editor that Armstrong came to Seminary early in the season, was properly plowed at the tuition and board were paid for the whole semester by his mother. The youth, who was a brilliant player, was permitted to play in the game with Union and against North Carolina College at the game. When he was deficient in his studies, he was refused participation in the contests. He became dissatisfied and refused to study. For this reason he was dropped from the school roll. C. I. A. A. rules on eligibility make it less of a school to use players who are not properly enrolled or are deficient in one subject. The institution found guilty of these violations is subject to a dropped license. Shannon University was dropped for an infringement of these rules, but was reinstated last year. Seminary, a school which trains preachers, faced charges last year of playing men on its varsity basketball team. The professional games for Washington and Baltimore pro teams.

The team met at the Columbus Hill gym last Wednesday night as 200 raccooned and beet-topped enthusiasts yelled approval to the tune of "Columbo," the national undergrad anthem. Herndon of the Tallismen was the high scorer of the game with six field goals and two assists, but Captain Bob Payne of the Omega aggregation showed his cleverness by making four field goals in the first half bringing the score to 218.

Instead of close games ending in fights, we are proud to say that they have ended another congratulation held to the line in the matter of passing their school work, which adds much to the football of any school, as the men who are best students are the men who analyze the best men on the squad.

Any Article You Wish LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pr- The trend toward the elimination of all forms of professionalism in collegiate football circles gained impetus at the twentieth annual session of the C.I.A.A., which was held here Friday and Saturday with the teeth of the Association being sharpened in an effort to accomplish this end. Morgan College, Baltimore, was officially awarded the football championship. The association took a definite stand against allowing free board to be given to those students who are members of the various athletic squads but who do not regularly board at the school dining room. If after daily practice, such students eat in the dining room, they must pay the regular price paid by the board- Students Barred Beginning with 1931 only men of college grade will be allowed to take part in intercollegiate athletics. Exceptions were made in the case of St. Paul because of junior status and of those men played as third year students and student athletes in 1930. They will be allowed to compete as fourth year academy students but no other academy men after this season will be allowed to represent C.I.A.A. institutions in athletics. A new eligibility rule on participation is attached to the effect that permission in any part of any game can be shall count a year of C.I.A.A. certification in that sport. Most Observe Rules The C.I.A.A. voted that the association teams would not be allowed to play non-conference teams who do not observe transfer rules when students change from one institution to another or who allow that the students to play more than four years in the aggregate. With such contracts for games with such institutions will be permitted to carry out those con- Livingstone Admitted The admission of Livingstone College of Salisbury, upon petition of Dean R. E.

To Appoint Officials One of the most important innovations to be introduced was that of the method of appointment of officials. A committee composed of Chas. H. Williams, H. M. Hillman, and J. Taylor, were authorized to group officials into teams and make appointments for all C.I.A.A. football games for 1931. The Bulletin will be issued in May instead of early fall. The publication will be in charge of the appointments of Chas. H. Williams, Hampton; C. W. Davis; Howard; and J. L. Whitehead, St. Paul. Efforts will be made to have a more attractive and interesting Bulletin. It will contain pictures, articles, and institutional devoting a page to teams of each institution, and in addition to material formerly carried there will appear interesting articles. The Eligibility Committee composed of Dr. E. P. Davis; Howard, Mr. Jas. Taper, W.C. State; and Mr. L. Whitehead, St. Paul, was continued. Drop All-Star Committee The report of the All-Star Committee was read and received. The association expressed its thanks for the work of the committee, but voted to discontinue the practice of selecting the most valuable player in the future.

To Abolish Baseball One of the things to come up for discussion in this meeting concerns the abolition of baseball as an in- ternational sport. The objections to baseball may be stated as follows: It does not support itself. It calls for large outfield positions, and it does not participate. The time, money and space used for baseball could be used to greater advantage in developing track, tennis ud gol. These members are in favor of more competitive baseball as an inter-collegiate sport make the following actions: Baseball is logically, because of the weather condition, a football the opusp, drains the athletic treasure or resources for baseball. Further, the paying of baseball does not need to interfere in any way with the playing of track, tennis and possibly golf. Finally, they call attention to the fact that some of the teams who are proposing the abstinence, have been very successful, have been very successful, feel that fundamentally, all branches of athletics must be developed in order that the various talents and aptitudes of students may be given expression. Sentiment seems to point toward an abstinence of baseball at least. To Beide Schedules Another item to be discussed, will be the number of games to be played with the teams in the conference, provided the suggested schedule will declare championship and award banner trophies in the different branches of sports, as heretofore. Basketball and baseball schedules will be arranged for football for the past football season, and new suggestions possibly offered. george Florida Conference Meets in Jacksonville Representatives of Edward Waters College, Florida A. & M., Bethuah Cookman College, Florida A. Normal and Collegiate Institute, Florida Memorabilia College, held an interesting investment in Jacksonville on December 12, 13, and 14. The conference by its action on certain cases brought to its attention, on record as standing cent for the organization, has outlined the conference is attempting to foster a high school division, under the conference organization. Prof. J. T. Sims of Edward Waters, number of years he has served efficiently as secretary and treasurer, was elected president. We predict a successful year under his energetic leadership. High Schools of Florida Plan Organization Nineteen high schools met and perfected a temporary organization, with Prof. Williams as president, the purpose of these high schools to draw rules that emphasize that government constituent members who are engaged in athletics, on a strictly high school basis. Most of the teams already engage each other in contests and constitute a powerful agent in developing a powerful agent in developing high school athletics in the state Florida. Georgia High School Championship Your desk come two very interesting letters from two of my good The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, December 20, 1930 Friends concerning the mythical high school championship of the state of Georgia. It comes about from the fact that Hudson High, coached by Mr. R. A. Finney, tied Ft. Valley, coached by Dr. F. S. Horne, T. E. Davis and S. B. Bride. It appears that both t'ms won the remaining games on their schedules. Fort Valley won from American Institute, Gillespie Normal, Central City College, B. T. Washington of Atlanta and Haines Institute, while Hudson High defeated four teams whose names are not available. I am suggesting to these two teams that it would be mighty fine to play a game for charity at Macon and decide the championship. What about it? With the data in hand, the Fort Valley team apparently has a strong claim on the title, though Union Baptist claims that it is impossible for it to secure a game. A New Year's game in Macon would be a great drawing. Edward Waters College Wins For the first time in the history of the Florida Intercollegiate Conference, Edward Waters College won the football championship and the right to inscribe its name on the beautiful loving cup donated by Buddy Austin, geishal and successful proprietor of the Strand Theatre, the most beautiful spacious and to-date theater named and controlled by a man in the South. The Edward Waters Tigers enclosed their championship by defeating the Faaceen Rattlers before large crowds on Saturday, June 6th. A large number of visitors from Florida and Southwest Georgia swelled the crowd and added a classic feature to this year meet between these rival Florida schools.

CO-EDS WEEP AS FISK DEFEATS LANGSTON OKLAHOMA CITY. — Langston University suffered its first defeat in five years at the hands of Pisk, of Nashville, Tenn., at Western League Park by a score of 14-12, last Satin- In the first half of the game the Langston Lions made the Fisk squad look like a high school ball team as they drove down the field to two touchdowns. Failure to kick goal at this time was again a point in the exciting moments of the tantic struggle between the two teams, who have turned into a tie, the score. The decision of Lee, one of the field officials, will perhaps forever be held in question. Lee penalized Langston in the last few moments of the game. It was the charge of Lee that theifference was while the ball was in the air. But for this decision the game would probably have been 12 to 7 in favor of Langston. Tears streamed down the cheeks of many of the Langston students who years ago from the field at the close of the second half. It was Langston's first defeat in five years.

STARTED AS BOY Spent Half Century Developing Game. CHICAGO. (ANP)—Business and professional men and women, social leaders, baseball players, and devotees of the sport packed the spacious St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal Church here Sunday afternoon to bow at the funeral bier and pay final tribute to Andrew ("Rube") Foster, the man credited with having done more to develop and promote professional baseball among Negroes than any other person. The cosmopolitan group, composed of members of both races, by their presence and their floral tributes, showed clearly that they loved "Rube" in death as they idolized him on the baseball diamond years ago when he active as a player and later as he sat on the bench directing the play and strategy of his team. Started on Sandlots Foster died Tuesday evening after an illness of some two years. The news of his death was a real shock to the community, rivalled only perhaps by the news two years ago that an incurable disease had removed from the game one of the greatest players and strategists, as well as the most colorful figure in professional baseball as far as the group was concerned. He was born in Calvert, Texas, September 27, 1879, where he was one of the sand-lot stars among the youths of his race. Calvert, however, was too small for "Rube" and he moved to Fort Worth, Texas where as a pitcher on the Yellow Jackets he attracted much attention. Had Large Following After a short sojourn, Fort Worth and the large state of Texas, proved, like the town of his nativity, too small and Rube moved to Chicago joining the Leland Giants. His pitching was the talk of the baseball world and crowds packed the old park at 79th Street and Wentworth Avenue, whenever it was known that the "Rube" was to pitch. His mount work on the Leland Giants attracted the attention of eastern baseball magnates and he moved to that section of the country to join the Philadelphia Giants, returning to Chicago in 1007 to don again the uniform of the Leland Giants, as pitcher and manager. Challenged Cubs In 1999 Rube startled the 'baseball world by challenging the Chicago Cubs, then managed by the perless leader, Frank Chance. Old-timers yell talk of that hectic three-game series, and especially the last game, when Rube, recuperating from a broken leg, tied up with Miner Brown in a pitching duel, finally dropping the defending. The next year the American Giants, came into being with Rube at the helm and all comers were taken on throughout the country for the next ten years with enviable success. Some LINCOLN UNIVERSITY.

Police Puzzled From the beginning, the ratchet has been conducted clandestinely, because the pioneers had had unpleasant clashes with the law in other places. The police have just recently awakened to the fact that there is a "new game" in town. At first they paid no attention to the daily record of the New York clearing house' balances, and wondered how such things could be used in gambling. When arrests were made to test the law, police officials went into a huddle to find out whether or not a law was being violated. An obsolete statute about operating a lottery was dug up. Now, when the unfortunate writer falls into the toils of the law, he loses 60 days of his freedom, and has a $50 fine tagged on to him. For years insurance salesmen and collectors have found Larry asking as to have him as an exceptional field. The citizens here had thousands of dollars invested in industrial insurance.

Insurance Hard Hit The future of industrial life insurance is being jeopardized by the "numbers" racket menace, two officials of the Southern Aid and the Richmond Industrial companies complained. Hundreds of policies have been lapsed. Many collectors have quit even the pretense of making calls on certain clients as insurance money is going into the "numbers" racket. Agents say the runners have recently begun to make house-to-house canvasses, and may be seen early in the morning visiting their patrons. CHICAGO STARTS WAR ON "NUMBERS" KINGS Racketeers Scurry for Cover as Jail Threats Hang Over Heads. $35,000 WAGERED Writers Ring Doorbells in Search of Plays. CHICAGO — A drastic clean-up of the "numbers" racket and all items of policy, which is draining the assets of the Southside working class of as much as $35,000 daily, has been inaugurated by Assistant State's Attorney F. A. Lovelia. The rumblings of the threatened war have already reached the underworld circles, and a wild scour for cover has already taken place. Woes gone out that even the writers will be prosecuted, not only with fines, as has been the case in the past, and at which the monied "numbers" kings laugh, but with actual sentiments. Addresses Given on Cards It is estimated that no less than twenty syndicates are in operation.

During this busy season there will be days when you must spend much time getting meals. Every woman has a few quick tricks up her sleeve when it comes to getting meals in a hurry. Hot biscuits are one of the quickest, and most women can stir up a batch of muffins in five minutes. Of course, the quicker these breads are mixed up the quicker the dessert would suspect that the dessert like orange custard has been a rush order. Orange custard is partly prepared in the morning because the custard part of the dessert has to be chilled. Paring and slicing the oranges is all that has to be done at dinner time.

Patty Goes Shopping "Earn a little and spend less." Benjamin Franklin "Come on, honey-girl, we're going shopping." Mother coaxed. "But, Mother, Mary Joe intended coming down, and we were going to have a pile of fun." Patty protested. "Yes, but Patty and Mother will have a pile of fun!" "That's right," Patty smiled, "we do have good. times when we go shopping. And I have a dollar left from this month's allowance." When Patty skipped away to ask Mary Joe to postpone her visit, her mother said to me, "You see, Patty and I go shopping together. She's learning how to spend money wisely. Too many children grow up knowing nothing about the value of a dollar or the quality of materials and clothes." "I let her make small purchases alone. Of course, at first she made mistakes, but now she's doing well. We give her a small allowance, and make her keep within it. So she's learned to respect Daddy's dollars. Too many mothers do all the sacrificing, while their sons and daughters throw money to the wind. It isn't a kindness to the children, and it's surely not fair to the parents." The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, December 20, 1930 Stop Hum in Radio Sets There are so many factors which are liable to cause a hum in a receiver that the trouble is often difficult to trace. Although the receiver may have been perfectly adjusted at the factory, it may have a pronounced hum when installed in the home. Sometimes, this will be the fault of the detector tube. Though electrically perfect in every other respect, it may produce a bad hum because of some peculiarity in its construction. Trying a new detector tube in the socket is perhaps the first step. A poor ground connection will often be the cause of a severe hum. A thorough cleaning and tightening of the ground connection is therefore advisable. The fact that many broadcasting stations are noisy and radiate considerable hum in their carrier wave must also be taken into consideration. If one station has a severe hum, while another is practically silent, it is conclusive proof that the station, and not the receiver is at fault. The piece bag should be made of netting, an old band curtain, and it will enable one to find the particular roll of goods desired without rummaging through the entire bag or emptying it. Household Hints When sending soiled garments to to the dry cleaner, search for the bad spots that might escape his notice and outline them in white thread. The thread will attract his attention and it is easily removed afterwards. A pinch of soda put into the boiling water in which new vegetables are cooked will help them retain their vivid and appetizing colors. To clean marble, take 2 parts of common soda, 1 part of pumice stone, and 1 part of powdered chalk. Stift it through a fine sieve and mix with cold water to a paste. Rub the marble thoroughly with this mixture and all stains will quickly disappear. Then rinse and wash with hot water and soap. Relief from watery eyes caused by wind may be had by bathing the eyes in a solution of 10 grains of boracic acid to 1 ounce of hot distilled water. Sprinkle the powdered root of black flag around the backs of shelves and along the baseboards of the floors to get rid of black ants. A good frosting and filling for cup cake can be made by taking two pounds of sifted powdered sugar and moistening it to the right consistency with orange juice. An attractive table for the sick child's food and toys can be made from a strong wooden box, a yard long, by removing the sides, leaving the ends attached, and painting it a pretty color. Before trying to pull threads in linen, run a damp cloth along the line where the thread is to be pulled. The thread will pull easily while the cloth is damp. Rabbit in Tomato Sauce One large rabbit, 2 tablespoon fat, 114 cups tomato pulp and juice, 1 large onion chopped fine, 2 teaspoons salt, pepper, 3 cups water. Dip the pieces of rabbit in flour and brown the fat in a deep iron skillet. Add the chopped onion and tomato juice with the seasonings the boiling water. Oven and... and more to toast or in the oven for four hours. The tomato sauce cooks down and gives a very good flavor to the rabbit. A little more thickening may need to be added just before serving.

It was for that reason that a youth whom I met last week presented an interesting character study. By being reared under glass, I refer to the hothouse system of cultivation resorted to by parents, mothers in practice, and children in child raising considerable more of a burden than it was intended to be. Mamma too Nosey Johnny (well call him that) is 23 years of age and "his own man now," he'll tell you in a voice as bass as he can cmomand; but even now his fond mamma insists upon reading his letters and inquiring who it was he was talking to whenever he answers the phone to officiers is his parent that was forced to instruct his friends to be very careful what they put into the letters they send him for fear there might be something to offend the id niyghisfo LUreN14 mc family. His associates are carefully scrutinized, their records, families and manners carefully investigated and are approved or tabooed in accordance with these findings. Johnny admits that his mother is the sweetest woman in the world, but there is a spirit to revolt awaiving him. He doesn't want to babled anymore. He has threatened never to return home again. He wants to cuss and get drunk and raise hell in general. He asked me what I thought of it all. I told him I think it over. I have. A Time for Nose Busting There are few who entertain more love of family than I, yet I think there are certain extenuating circumstances where punching your father in the nose and turning your mother in the back and thrashing are positively justifiable. Johnny is sore at his dad, because one Sunday afternoon, when he was 18 years of age, his father saw him eat a sundae in a drug-store with some other young people and made him get up and go home. He was so embarrassed that he has never had anything more to cheer girls in his home town. He felt that they laughing at him behind his back. Armed with a degree from the University of Chicago, he found it an easy matter to get a position teaching in a Southern school, but even now his mother will call him on long distance phone from Indiana. He will tell his sister, Eleanor, that he wants to know whether he is well and whether he has put on his long underwear and what he wants her to send him? Johnny doesn't, like those long distance calls. His associates chide him about them, but what is he going to Getting Rid of Women Women as a rule we darn hard things to get rid of once they get a crush on you and mothers are no exception. Being his mother, I could not advise Johnny to bundle up all her letters, burn them on the ends and send them all back with a curt note saying, "We're quits." The old ruse of being conveniently out whenever the phone rings would hardly be satisfied because women this method and it only makes the conversation that much longer when they do catch you unaware. Then too, there is a certain amount of mystery attached to a persistent phone call that I always find hard to resist. The spirit of adventure always seizes me when the phone rings. What new experience is on the other end of that wire? I always ask. Is somebody calling me, they are ready to debt that I had alimony forgot? Will the message be, my husband is out of town, come on over? Or will it merely be a wrong number? You can't always tell. Out of the Frying Pan Of course, Johnny could possibly obtain some relief from his mother's watchful eye by taking unto himself a wife, but I would hardly advise this step until all other hope is exhausted. It is entirely too much like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. Wives are considerably more of a nuisance than mothers in that you can at least shut your mother out of your bedroom and don't have to listen to her shew the rag all night. The marriage solution carries with it another hazard that Johnny would do well to guard against, and that lies in the fact that most wives have the annoying habit of having mothers-in-law. From what I read in the papers mothers-in-law are more of a boy than a mother dared to be the latter; some of them confronted the problem of combating two women instead of one. And a man of Johnny's admitted youth and in-ience should meditate long and hard before he tackles any two women regardless of how highly recommended they come for gentility. On the other hand, Johnny's early training may make him the ideal spouse. Being petted and pampered and babied is one of the compensations more manly get to the rent, the sting out of the newly hold-up for allowances. Most men during the interim between adolescence and marriage get away from the baby stuff and are consequently hard to domesticate after they lose the decision in the parlor climbs and are counted out at the altar. Johnny will not have this trouble, he is already housebroken. He might make a very good husband for some liberal girl who won't mind sharing him with his mamma. Milk-Vegetable Soups Milk-vegetable soups are made from cooked vegetables (chopped or sliced) and milk (whole or skim) slightly thickened. The vegetables may be asparagus, peas, beans of various kinds, celery, potatoes, turnips, carrots, spinach, onions, corn, cabbage, or almost any other vegetable. Some of these are good combinations, as potatoes and carrots, potatoes and turnips, turnips and carrots. Two cups milk, tablepoon flour or less, 1 tablespoon butter, salt, ¼ cup cooked vegetables, finely chopped, mashed, or strained. Thicken the milk with the flour as for white sauce. If the vegetable is starchy, use less flour or thin the soup with milk. The vegetables should be finely chopped, mashed, or strained; they will blend well even the thickened milk. Wax Improves Linoleum Waxing or varnishing is said to improve the appearance of linoleum and to make it last longer. Wax should be used on the inlaid and plain kinds and varnish on the printed ones, for wax sometimes tends to soften the printed surface. If given a special finish, linoleum should be swept with a soft brush and dusted with an oilled or dry mop. Occasionally it should be cleaned with a cloth wrung out of suds made by lukewarm water and neutral soap, rinsed with clear water and wiped with another cloth. Only a small space should be wet at a time. Casters on heavy furniture are likely to cut into linoleum and should be replaced by or placed in, glass or metal shoes having a wide bearing surface and no rough edges. Floor olicloth and the so-called asphalt felt floorings should be cleaned and cared for like printed linoleums.

FREE PARKING FREE D North Ave. Ma Farm and Garden Winter is more of a real test of whether sufficient shrubs surround house and garden than is the summer growing period. Berry bearing bushes can be used in many ways. They can set off portions of the house, they can border a lawn or walk or screen a garage or vegetable garden. Shrubs considered easy to grow and highly ornamental include the following: Low growing, under five feet: Japanese barberry, yellow flowers, red berries, suitable for hedges.

Market Toledo Groceries are Picketed Agree to Employ Colored Help 18 TOLEDO. — In the first actual, systematic boycott ever conducted here, hundreds of citizens and hired picket men with sandwich signs pickedet two Kroger and an independent meat store in the midst of the colored section last week until they employed colored help. The Kroger stores formerly used colored clerks but had dismissed them, the other store had never hired colored clerks and refused to have them, but after the two Kroger hired a cut-picking worker, another independent store has already hired the clerk who was discharged from the Kroger store. The boycott was conducted by the local N.A.A.C.P. after a conference with the managers of the stores. The Kroger representative had refused to employ a clerk, so that only a soldier would warrant, such action. The N.A.A.C.P. contended that as the only business was from the group, they should be represented by a manager in one store and a clerk in another. The Rev. W. Stanley, president of the branch for the past two years, the Rev. M. Branigan, president of the Branch, and W. T. Clark, and Silar Harris represented the group in conferring with the store managers.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, December 20, 1930 Pat to Pansy --- DEAREST PANSY: We entirely escaped the usual lull that precedes the Christmas week. Our social calendar has been unusually filled with interesting events. And needless to say the holidays proper will be all for which one's heart could wish. Holding precedence, of course, will be the Half Century Club's coiffion on the evening after Christmas, when at the Els' Hall, the 1931 debs will be presented. There be only seven debates to make a formal bow to society this year, though the club is reported to have had an exceptionally long list of applicants. Must say, though, that a delightful group were chosen to be the club's protges. But more of the debs, later. Says Professionals Do Patronize Projects Pansy, in my going hither and thither, I hear so many knocks of our professional groups for alleged failure to their support that I am surprised that the following story may serve as a delightful surprise to many of us, an inspiration to our venturers in business, and an incentive to those of us who not properly patronize our own and other business enterprises. The story comes from James A. Jackson, business specialist, through the ANP and the Republic Theatre building in Washington, D.C. Of the business, Mr. Jackson says, "The establishment sweeps away the contention that colored school teachers are derelict in business with the mere statement that during November, 403 school teachers made purchases in this shop. In addition to this, mail orders came to the help of businessmen different states. "It happens that most of this business originated from the fact that one of the staples of the shop is a line of seasor picture objects that have proved very excellent aids in reading instruction. "Mrs. Helen Daughlas, wife of the mayor of Highland Beach, is the owner of the shop, and she has provided these unique educational helps. She is a native of California and, in addition to being an artist, is a typical dynamic Western business woman. She is a co-ordinated energy. "A one time she was content to decorate and to fabricate novelties personally, oftimes serving legations and tourists. From this grew the business which now employs the services of from three to five highly-educated and well-paid assistants and one or two messengers as the season may end." "Mrs. Douglass thus proves that artistry and business may be mixed to good advantage, and that the old notion that artistic temperament is more important than business bush. Further, it proves that one of the basic factors of business success is to know the line in which you engage. She located in an almost exclusively Negro neighborhood, the shop enjoys a large daily patronage of white customers—people who appreciate cultural things. A check of the doorway, or to the of the delivery office, or to business to be just about, fifty-fifty." "A complete stock of widely assorted articles in the art and gift line plus an arrangement for speedy sales of the merchandise sold, based upon a five-year satisfactory credit-rating tell why the business is growing, contributing factors being frequent changes of window dressing, persistent advertising, constant trade journal publications, and a policy of not "fighting" it public as do some merchants. Mrs. Duglass cultivates potential patrons with service and a pleasing personality; and by contributing money and service creates a special mindedness among Negroes." The week brought us several of the most charming of visitors and for them, many lavish entertainments. distinguished Mrs. Anne Pope Malone, of St. Louis and Chicago, head of the Poro Company, was house guest of Mrs. Mamie Douglass or 1325 Madison Avenue, over the street. On Friday afternoon Mrs. Malone and a Mrs. Stokes of Richmond, wore honores at an impromptu tea, given by Mrs. Carl Murphy at her Morgan Park home. Among her honors were Mrs. Thomas L. Brown, Mrs. Douglass Johnson, Mrs. C. G. Boddy, Mrs. J. Logan Jenkins and Mrs. George Gilbert. Gilbert entertained at breakfast for her on Saturday morning. And under the guidance of Mrs. K. Bertha Hurst, Mrs. Malone visited the AFRO plant at noon. Both made most interesting short talks to the students. I was so busy observing what type of wardrobe our most noted of beauty exponents would affect, that I quilt lost the first part of her suit up the back of applause attested up the roof that greeted Mrs. Malone's speech. You will be interested to know, Pansy, that this noted personage is quite a conserver of洗涤品 for Instant dressing a Fleece lamb coat, a hat of black and a simple dark dress of the street type, completed her outfit. The Zeta Phi Beta Sorority entertained at a luncheon in her honor. Mrs. Malone, you know, is an honorary member of this sorority.

THE RICH SCRUB GIRL Continued from Page Eleven "There can never be anything real serious between us," he expounded, with cruel force. "Because, dear, I am already married, and I can't get a divorce." Molly was stunned. She knew the truth now. The woman she had found in his cottage that night when she slipped into the clothes closet, was his wife. "Well," she demurred, "you haven't been fair. Do you think so?" He told her frankly that he thought he had. She had, he reminded her, thrown herself at his head. It wasn't his fault. "Gawd, I love you," she moaned. "Man, I love you with all my heart and soul. I took your part tonight when they blamed you for the fight at home. I've done everything possible to help you—I simply cannot live without you. You can't let me go. I won't go." "You must." he said sternly. She began to sob brokenly. "You can't drive me out of your life. You're the source of all my joy and happiness. I will die without you. Don't." "You must think," he upbraided her. "You wished it upon yourself. I have my reputation to protect." Molly didn't know that he was trying to save her for her future, that he really did care for her, but had been sobered by the fight, and wishing to stave off, for her benefit what he saw coming, he had led to her. If she had known, this scene with her could have been avoided. There was a long glass vase on the massive table, a red vase of flowers, almost as thin as a rapire blade. Heavy glass, it would make a good weapon. "Well, you can't get away with it, she stormed. I will do anything before. I'll let the other woman before. I'll even kill you so I can put flowers on your grave rather than love you living with another woman." Then, before he knew what she was about, she picked up the vase and barshad his head open with it. He fell upon his face and was motionless. He realized what she had done, Molly Cage called her mother. While the latter was en route to the author's cottage, a policeman passing down the tree-lined walk, heard Molly crying and stopped to investigate. Thus Molly Cage found herait in the clutches of the law, the abuser of the child, produced court. Only because the writer lived, was this petite colored girl saved from further torture at the end of a rope or a prison cell for life. She was released and fled to unknown parts. Although the author has forgiven her, he neverishes the flair ended for the rest, even though he was painfully injured physically. 19 WONDERFUL JOB'S WITH G.

Anderson, 71 Compelled to Act as Messenger. SERVED 21 YEARS Prejudice Alleged in Federal Court. Denying that he had received any official instruction to bar W. H. Anderson, 71-year-old U.S. court bailiff of Richmond, Va., from serving as such here, George W. Collier, white, U.S. marshal, told the AFRO-AMERICAN last week that the only question raised here was one of salary. "The meeting of the U. S. Circuit Court here in October and November was the first time such had occurred since my incumbency," Mr. Collier said, "and I did write to Washington to find out the salary status of Anderson, but when this was learned my office held his vouchers as that of affording him along with the other court attaches brought here by the two presiding judges. Admitted Talk Mr. Collier admitted that there had been some discussion of the matter but denied that his office was in any way opposed to Negres services as bailiffs. His office said nothing to do with the assignment when circuit courts are in session here. That is a matter for the presiding judges to decide. Anderson, who has been a bailiff in the Circuit Court of Appeals for 20 years, came here for the first time to serve a session of the court which was presided over by Federal Judge John J. Parker and D. Lawrence Groner. Although he serves as a full fledged bailiff in the Virginia courts he was assigned to duties as messenger here. White court attaches at the local court are said to have made a protest to Mr. Collier and to the judges. This, however, Mr. Collier does. On the demand of the chief whiff who objected with a Negro balliff, Anderson was placed at the door and did not perform the regular duties of a balliff. At the suggestion of Claude Dean white, an agreement is said to have been made whereby Anderson was to act as messenger but receive the balliff. Was Questioned Friends of Mr. Anderson wondered why it was necessary for Marshal Collier to question the status of the bailiff when he was brought here with two other white bailiffs to serve in the court. When asked that AMERICAN directly admitted that he was not certain about Anderson's status and only wished to make sure of official communication from the Washington headquarters. Anderson, who is well-known both in church and fraternal circles of the state of Virginia, is the Spanish War Veteran, who has been decorated brigade and unusual service to his regiment. He was the first captain of the Virginia Volunteer Infantry and served as adjutant in the Sixth Virginia Regiment during the Spanish-American War. He is past department commander of the Department of the Potomac United States War Veterans, having served as commander for three successive terms. Ha is a member of the Masonic Order, being a Shriner, also worthy master of the Progressive Fountain of True Reformers. He is the Grand Potentate of the Order of Eastern Star for the State of Virginia. In private life, Anderson, who is married and has a wife, one daughter and a granddaughter, is a member of the First Baptist Church of Pichmond. He operates a private nature, that of a school and stationary deal, including church, Sunday School and lodge supplies by mail order.
