CRY FOR --- VITALITY AND ENERGY IS BEING QUICKLY RESTORED TO OUR WOMEN AND GIRLS Astonishing Gains in Weight, Strength and Vitality Reported by Thousands of Women in the Few Months Since the Famous St. Joseph's G. F. P. Was First Introduced to Our Women and Girls—Simple Test Proves How Quick It Works. Old and Young Allike Are Being Benefited by This Master of Catarrh, the Malady Which Has Been Causing So Many of the Girls and Women in Our Group to Go Day After Day in Bad Health and Thin, Weak and Undernourished. Women Now Depend on St. Joseph's G.F.P. To Restore Their Vitality Perhaps the most noticeable and outstanding part of the remarkable things, which the phenomenal medicine known as St. Joseph's G. F. P. is doing for our girls and women who were weak and underweight, is the quick, permanent increase they are having in their weight as a result of using it. And the convincing part about this is that it is not only in one or two cases, but in thousands of instances wherever our women and girls are using this marvelous medicine, which is now creating such a sensation in all parts of the country. What every woman in our group needs to carry her through the period of trials and worry is plenty of strength, steady nerves, rich red blood and an abundance of robust vitality. The most important organs of woman are so closely linked up with the functioning of the entire system that any slight irregularity quickly tells on the nervous system and the result is nervousness, weakened muscles, irritable disposition, loss of weight and that don't-care, morbid feeling all the time. To help stamp out this demon Catarrh, which is the direct cause of so much misery among our women, and thereby produce a condition of health and strength with plenty of energy and vitality, St. Joseph's G. F. P. has been found to be the most valuable of any medicine which has yet been introduced to correct such troubles among our women. Many of the girls and women in our group, who are taking St. Joseph's G. F. P. regularly, now say that it is by far better than anything else they have ever used to build up their delicate, unsteady and rundown nerves, their muscles and tissues, and carry that peculiar something through their blood to their most important organs to stamp out the Catarral inflammation, which has been the cause of their continuous nervousness, irritability, cramps, loss of appetite, irregularity, dizzy spells, fainting, nausea and that terrible worn-out feeling of hopelessness. The fact is that G. F. P. is the first direct specific for this trouble, and that is the reason it is doing more for them than anything they have ever tried before. Make This Simple Test If you are not strong, well and happy, try to walk a considerable distance the first chance you get and see how much you can stand without your feet touching the ground. St. Joseph's G. F. P, regularly and faithfully as directed on each bottle, and compare the amount of walking or anything else you can do with your feet, to see how much G. F. P—and weigh yourself, too, so you can see how much you gain, and thereby prove beyond a doubt that G. F. P. is nourishing you and really stamping out Caarass with its life-giving blood, the living of the most important greens. St. Joseph's G. F.

In the midst of all the hullbaloo about Japanese exclusion the readers of this paper will not forget that even though the Jap is now barred from coming to this country to compete on even terms with the white man, nevertheless, he does not know much about his race or complexion when he does succeed in getting into this country. When he appears on the streets with an American white woman nobody stares or thinks it necessary to call the police. He can take that same woman into the best white hotels in this country without comment. He rides on any train in any coach and gets where he pleases. Nobody thinks of Jim Crowing him. As a visitor all the clubs are open to him if he has the requisite education or enough money. No great state function is complete without him, and he may engage in any business he desires without let or hindrance. Yet those of us who are born here and cannot be barred will be expected to go out and fight that same Japanese when necessary without the right to ask why. We are in position to know how the Japanese must feel and we can understand his righteous indignation at being singled out for this special treatment after he has had all the favors and consideration which is denied to others who have a right to it by birth and citizenship. The Japanese veterans seem much wrought up about it and according to dispatches from Japan are expressing themselves vigorously. We feel sorry as American citizens that Congress felt it necessary to need less so out of its way to put this insult upon a proud and worthy people. At the same time this seems to be additional proof of the fact often stressed by some thinkers that the Japs must by reason of their ability and strength as a nation learn to sympathize and work with other dark skinned races of the world if they are to ever make this haughty race-hatting white man see the error of his ways. The Japs, like some of us, have been too busy courting the favor of the white man when he should have been winning the confidence and regard of the rest of the world.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER CLANDESTINE LOVE RESULTS IN 2 DEATHS Aslatic and African world. Some day that friendship will inevitably be put to a test if the white man learns to speak English, or stupid course of erecting barriers to save him from being healed by those whom he despises. There is no excuse to the way in which he insists on fanning its flame. For it means in the end war and bloodshed and in the wars of resistance and civilization. Perhaps this will be a lesson to the proud Japanese to watch his white brother a little more closely and show more respect to his other dark skinned relatives.

May 30. — Because there are so many different statements being published concerning the bonus bill recently passed by Congress, service man, who are vitally interested, have found themselves confused. With a view to clarifying this situation and helping the veterans understand just what the bill means, the Veterans bureau has issued a table of factors showing just what each insurance policy is worth. At present no cash settlement has been made between the veterans and those whose period of service entitles them to $50 or less. In these cases checks are mailed to the veteran as soon as his claim is made. In addition, insurance policy is issued, the value of which is determined by days served in the army, navy or marine corps. One dollar per day is allowed for emergency service. It is easy to figure out how many days you have to your credit, and with the table of factors given you can compute the approximate value. Table of Factors. The table of factors and instructions follow: Factors to determine the amount of paid-up 20-year endowment insurance purchased by the adjusted service credit, as defined in section Age Factor Age Factor 20 2.545 42 2.452 21 2.545 42 2.452 22 2.542 46 2.413 23 2.542 46 2.413 24 2.540 47 2.396 25 2.527 48 2.360 26 2.527 48 2.360 27 2.525 50 2.323 28 2.525 50 2.323 29 2.527 51 2.295 30 2.527 51 2.295 31 2.527 52 2.284 32 2.527 52 2.284 33 2.521 54 2.260 34 2.521 54 2.260 35 2.527 56 2.172 36 2.527 56 2.172 37 2.699 54 2.142 38 2.699 54 2.142 39 2.604 53 2.065 40 2.604 53 2.065 41 2.492 61 2.019 42 2.485 61 2.019 43 2.485 61 2.019 44 2.470 64 2.184 45 2.470 64 2.184 46 2.460 65 1.889 Instructions Allow $1 per day for each day of home service and $1.25 per day for each day of foreign service. Deduct from this sum. Multiply this remainder by the direct appeal fee nearest birthday to date certificate is issued. The factor includes the 25 per cent increase, and this increase should be added to the adjusted service credit before multiplying the factor. Example: at date of issue..... 32 years 100 hours service..... 100 days Overservice service..... $11..... $12 100X$125..... $125 Adjusted service credit..... $249 Multiply this by 2.613—factor at age which in this case is 65H which in this case is $65H Application for the bonus may begin as soon as the blanks are ready and will be made before January 1, 1925. Loans may be made on the policies up to 90 per cent of their current balance after two years after date of issuance. The balance would be worth $1,000 20 years from the date of issuance, but 90 per cent is asked on it in February, 1927, say and the balance would be worth $7,000 would come to $72.93. The same policy would demand a loan of $83.23 as the end of 15 years.

Our business and professional men will be glad to help in every manner possible, especially in the South, in filling out the application and in the members of the other race will take only with ulterior motives. And when you have received your policy, you will be in too big a hurry to borrow on it. There will be unscrupulous bankers, fake insurance men and other fraudsters who are injecting veterans. There will be all kinds of schemes and wildcat plans conceived for the purpose of getting money from them, whom they were intended, thus defeating the aims of the legislators. These policies will have the backing of the government, therefore will be good for their face value when they mature. TRIPLETS BORN A pair of "queens and a king" is the hand Mr. and Mrs. M. C.

CITIZENS, OPPOSE THE FOSTER BILL The judiciary committee of the House of Representatives has reported out House bill No. 3228, known as the Foster bill for the creation of an industrial commission to study the race problem. Congressman Celler from New York had introduced a similar bill but merged a bill with that of Congressman Post with the role of chair into committee. This bill provides for five commissioners for four years and for the chairman who is to receive $2,000. The first year's appropriation for the work of the commission is of it this may look good to some people. Since three of the commissioners are to be Colored men it provides for fat jobs to ambitious holders. But that is the trouble with all these bills and commissions, they give us jobs when he want and need law. Let the Republican leaders and the administration enforce the law under the Constitution and are not the only control of the study of welfare. All we want is a fair show and an even break as is given to other men. When we can vote wherever we live, travel like other citizens, work anywhere that we have the necessary skills and experience, and qualify for jobs looking that given an opportunity to get training on the same basis as any white man, then we will be making progress. Who cares about the deliberations of any commission as long as the government which is not the only control of the law? Jim Crow us and deny us what the Constitution guarantees to all American citizens? A commission does nothing but block the road and be fog of the issue. All thinking men of the Race ought to oppose them and to make it so, and the law may take a tax-payee's money on fruitless efforts of this kind. Write your congressman and tell him that you do not want a few jobs for political demagogues, but an enforcement of American laws and the carrying out of the law. Who is the thought to believe necessary for the preservation of the country and its welfare, so that they will apply to all men regardless of color. POLICE MARK TIME ON FRANK MYSTERY The world has been shocked by the grief which has come to the Frank family in Chicago on account of the death of their child. For which there seems to be no adequate explanation. Death knows no color line and grief passes over all barriers and hurdles. The girl's child is still alive. The admit that they are baffled for a solution of the murder. At last they have included one of our people in the investigation. But that is a far-fetched theory. No man from our ranks who could write such an intelligent letter as the one he wrote to the police could possibly be associated with the poor unfortunate picked up by the police just because they seemed to have no special home and ranging around in the neighborhood. The system of the police is to pick up some poor friendless Colored man when they are up a tree and yet want to help them. The police have done this infamous case has puzzled all the best talent and all the experts of which the police force could boast. They have done this and has gone out to the bereaved family. There is not a man or woman who reads but what wishes for the speedy recovery of a child such a system no man's child is safe on the city streets. How can the world go about its business if the police fail to fall upon the innocent without their apprehension and punishment?

It required eight men to lift the heavier silver casket in which his body was shipped to the University of Oklahoma, which was valued at $4,000. The body in its rich burial equipment was taken to the Lorence church, five miles south of the city, where funeral services were held at the Keegee Indian cemetery. Young Clayton is survived by a widow, to whom a large part of his estate will prob- President Dudley of the Agricultural and Technical college of North Carolina, located in Greenbush, has issued statements in which he justifies his action for which he was criticized by the Association of Colleges for Negro Youth. His statements follow: "Editor of the Defender: A friend called my attention to your recent publication of the resolutions of the Association of Colleges for Negro Youth in which the president of Howard university is commended and I am condemned. I am sure your readers will be equally as surprised as I when they learn the facts of the situation by your kind enough to let me give you. As the circumstances are practically verified by correspondence, no one can truthfully contort the statements of the truthfulness of my statement or if anyone is sufficiently interested he can easily secure a full copy of the correspondence as sent to me by applying to his president or to me. "As I desire to avoid personalities with a possible focus on tension on a principle rather than on the man, I shall continue as I began by omitting individual names and by substitution thereof official titles. "The correspondence means anything it shows beyond question that I have received from the sith of February that knowingly did encourage our English teacher to break his contract with us before June 30, 1924, the date of expiration, before we could get a substitute, and before we had released himself, so soon as a substitute could be secured. We have known and respect the maturity of years, but in this matter I am utterly unable to reconcile his actions with the morals of a Christian, and to reject some of the members of the Association of Colleges for Negro ably be given. The Clayton building, shown here, is one of the most valuable estates in Sapulpa and was owned by Clayton was buried from the church which his sister, Mrs. C. Thompson of Chicago gave the community several years ago. She and her husband, Thompson, who recently graduated in dentistry from Northwestern university, went to Sapulpa to attend the funeral. Clayton, unlike many other wealthy youths, refused to be buried in the church. He trollled his own estate and invested heavily in property in other cities. Youth, but I can only account for their commending Howard's president for assisting in breaking an agreement that they were not acquainted with the circumstances. Surely it is dishonorable for one school to encourage a teacher to leave one school without his contract. Surely if 'there is honor among thieves' there must be honor among schools. I am forced to admit that I unwittingly did violence to its sense of dignity and of honor in commending the president of Howard university in this remarkable transaction. "To me it seems that the association record as condemning as unethical the action of President Dudley in broadcasting in educational and political circles the difference President Durkee of Howard university. "If Howard's president took our teacher in violation of contract, which then I had a right to protest. On Feb. 13 last I sent my protest to the president only. I never marched. I never protest. I had a right to conclude the president had decided to ignore same. I regarded as aiding him. I did not protest. I determined his policy of ignoring the protest should fail; hence the 'broadcasting.' I succeeded and am satisfied. I assured the teachers and students that he would remain, his fake beginning of work in February and his first day of teaching. My January check make his return as a teacher impossible. No, I am not desiring the teacher's return. My Howard's president my emphatic protest and endeavor to convince him that he is an important teacher. Now this was a purpose. If the association thinks I am 'unethical' it is my candid opinion that he is an important teacher in behalf of humane schools and of the youth our schools are training. (Signed) "JAS. B. DUDLEY."

NEWS OF THE MUSIC WORLD By MAUDE ROBERTS GEORGE The 25th Infantry band presented Clarence Cameron White, violinist and manager of the band at the All-Baba Band in the Nogalville Area, May 27. White was assisted by Mrs. Mary N. Carter, supra-prono, and Claud Andrew tenor. Both artists were also companies of the band. The rectial was a grand success in every way. The Brandy and Art club of the 25th Infantry presented "The Crimson Eyebrows" recently at All Baba theater. Nogalles, Ariz, and it was most interesting to read the loss of the character and the�ite the patient in the army as well as the splendid diversion that the preparation for this performers must be given. The New York Telegram and Everg Malt recently had the following question in the column on the editorial page: "What is the difference between America's greatest composer, and why do you think so?" Gordan Lawrence, who is connected with the One of the Old World Performer, was a member of the band's band of one of our group and I am pleased to make mention of it chiefly for his reason "why" he made the secret. "W. C. Handy, who first wrote down the 'Blues' and caught the rhythm of the music and the band's blacks of the Mississippi swamps. His 'Memphis Blues' started an era in the popular music of the world. When he was the more so, he was called to the name of Victor. In this same article the name of Victor Herbert received the largest number of votes and excellent reasons why. The band was not so well known. Mr. Malt, with the news that this great composer had suddenly dropped dead while as a single member of the band, had not been enough apparently in good health. He was the composer of more than 40 Social School Doing Fine Work in Atlanta Atlanta, Ga., May 30.—The Atlanta School of Social Work, conducted in connection with Morehouse College, is just, completing its own research work, and is responsible for the established in 1920 for the use of the special need in the South for an institution for the training of young people in professional social work.

Franklin, Frazier, who is also the director, a teacher in case and field work, and a number of executives of the National General College. The chief handicap of the institution so far has been lack of adequate and stable financial support.

Dear Princess: I am a lonesome woman I have been corresponding with a man I have never seen him. I sent him a letter. I have written it, write any more. Please tell me what I am impressed that this man was one of those kind who go a great deal on you. I am proud of his safety his thirst for love. He is not conscious of the fact that the most deadly poison is the most deadly poison. I advise you to take him from him for his delay in answering you, and if he gives the reason is displeasure what he expected, then ask him how many prizes he is the proud of. Dear Princess: I have been reading your advice to others and I am quite sure you can help me. Then I was asked to help a young man, but for some reason after between us. We are both immortally too independent to write first and I am not strange by so doing. Do you think it is hard to him a nerd? Shall I wait for him to write? Although it has been three years married. Do you think this friendship has handwritten—Milege. What about my handwriting? A friendship that has been neglected for three years should be renewed if possible. It matters not which one puts the efforts of the world into work. It will help the people be to do so. Old friends are not always the dearest, but there is a certain value attached to friends we call old that should forbid us from everything to the end of life. It will help you know the nof存放的 It will help you know the nof. It will help you friend still cares and is willing to help them when they live in the home. I am writing to you for all your penmanship denies one who is very sedate and dignified, but affectionate and affable, critical to an extreme but captive convinced when the proper person attempts it. Dear Princess: I am writing to you for advice as you have helped so many others. I read your advice every week. I have Princess, I have been married to my son, and I have worked here. It has a run-around husband. He is always out and then tells me he is gambling but my sister sees him with another woman very often. I am not always stayed away three months, but he begged me I had to come back, and he is not any better. I don't believe a word he says. He has run around and through his money and a look at a bought a home. What must I do?—Blue. Thirteen years is too long to stay in an apartment or can be made so, and if you will not be able to make it, you will growing older every day you will find out that it does not way to waste time, and that some men who are not well fitted with a financially as well as wife, and I think that when they live in the outside more than the one who stands by them in the inside, they must and made to go to the other one. You can place for your future years, why bother, with him any longer and in the end you will still be complaining, and if he is not a nuisance the older he grows. Dear Princess: Will you please help solve this problem. About two years ago in my old home town I met a young man and we went together for six months. I learned to care quite a bit for him, but the same old story, we disagreed. Some say it was his fault. Some said mine—I'll leave it to you. Your verdict is final. It was during the carnival. My sweetheart said he was not going out, so I stayed home, too, but he did not keep his word. He was seen with the vamp of our neighborhood. She reported that he was in love with her and that they were engaged. I was very angry and wrote him on insulting letter. This was some time ago. Recently he wrote several letters to me, sending his picture in one and asking for mine. He is going with another girl, so do you think I should send it? I wouldn't want to be guilty of doing what I wouldn't want done to me. Dear Princess, why do men make girls care for them when they know 98 OUT OF E WOMEN An Absolutely F Important to Remarkable Results Wide Canvass of W Lydia E. Pinkham pound. 50,000 For some time a circular has been enclosed with each bottle of our med- line bearing skin question: "Have you received benefit from using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound?" Replies, to date, have been re- ceived from over 50,000 women an- swering that question. 98 per cent of which say YES. That means that 98 out of every 100 women who take the medicine for the ailments for which it is recommended are benefited by it. "This is a most remarkable record of efficiency. We doubt if any other medicine in the world equals it. Of 100 received no benefit—98 successes out of a possible 100." Did you ever hear anything like it? We must admit that we, ourselves, are astonished. Such evidence should induce any patient to take the testable Compound and see if she Lydia E. Pinkhau Medicine O PART 1—PAGE 5 be a Otherwise Princess Mysteria deep down in their hearts they don't care an atom for them? And why will they like a princess? And why will they like a queen? But the other kind of a girl they treat like a queen—Worried I have printed this letter in full because it contains the general belief of the average young woman of today, and the average young woman of the day, and the distribution of the girls who now firmly believe it. First, I'll answer your question regarding your boy friend, if not the first child who you'd like to return for his, but do advise you to send his back to him, with a positive refusal to accept his preferred friendship after having once mistreated him. I am not a man who has a letter. It is not so that a man "makes" a girl love him. A woman's love is not made of the substance that permits of "making." When he loves it with the old-age participant and she is freely not made; if she loves not wisely but too well, then she suffers for it and when you say that men marry decent girls and the man who is not a man, I am not a man. When a decent man marries a decent girl he treats her as he should, but in cases where a woman attempts to reform a man or to mold him into the ideal man is not always a man, and in whatever shape his "brain is when he marries that is just about the shape of the man. A man's girl is a businessman, and critical for the average man. The other kind of a girl is easier to please because she has no great amount of scruples to offer, consequently when she is so far less feel a good way of balance that makes the world go—so it is with humanity. I know the type of a girl you want to be. I know you want to rest easy until Jill rights wright up and declares herself. I hold your hands. I know who understand what you said. PASTOR OF MT.

DON'T EXPERIMENT WITH "PIMPLE CURES" Do you think so little of your delicate skin and face as to allow your hands to permeate? By all means use only the thing which has stood the test of time. The skin of your pimples, blotches, bumps, "breaking out", eczema, etc. Black skin is not only stood the test of time, but you are sure of it—when you know that they are selling at the tremendous rate more than two million packages a year. The way they are economically priced is the way they make to make them so popular along with their dependability. The 36c size is much as the 32c size. All dealers have both Black and White Ointment and White Soap, as well as Black-Adv. Of course we know that our medicine does benefit the large majority of women who take it. But that only means we have received no benefit is most astonishing. It only goes to prove, however, that a medicine specialized for certain definite ailments—not a cure all the time—process; not from drugs, but from a combination of nature's roots and herbs, and can and does more good than hastily prepared prescription.

Miss Blaine as a country boy was excellent and Brown were the operas. She sang "sine Ball," a comedy number. Brown was mellow and sweet. They close with their original song, "Sons of Blues." Brown was beautifully dressed, sang a selection of Blues numbers. The young lady opened with their own song, please the public. The ever popular team, Watts and Willis, were open with their own song number, "That's Some Rag." After a monologue, "I Am Going to Picken Toe," Madam Willis sang "Bleeding Moon" and attended her beers. They close with "Wompus Cat Rag," Mason and Henderson just on the big screen. They open with "Dark Town Struters" Ball, going into comic ballads. A riot from start to finish. Mason gave a nice soft dance that was "West Indian Blues."

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Jazz Most Popular Music of the Day Sissle and Blake, Master Entertainers, Say Syncopation Is Truly American and Is Here to Stay BY ARCHIE-BELL, in the Cleveland News-Leader. STOKOWSKI, famous conductor of the Philadelphia orchestra, recently came out forthly in favor of American modern music, and in doing so he paid particular attention to the part that the American Negro is playing in its development. This prompted my attention to the fact that we have with us at the time of the American Negro boys who have been leaders in this direction for a number of years. So brilliantly do they offer what we have in the music of our people, so well known to our composer and star. "Shuffle Along" and the successor, "In Bam-villa," to give their opinions, so sufts of their work thus far? Did they consider their work of perma-tion of other famous of our music and great artists. Now, they wrote with the American Negro? Was the Negro doing his share in development, and have something worth while to be convinced of that, and have something better than it has been? I could think of a hundred questions that I wanted to ask them; but I didn't want to ask them as each of them had lengthy replies to the question in regard to their aim in life. Sissie and Blake have been enormously successful young actors of their generation, and they have composed over sixty songs that have had stage production. Their songs are so powerful that despite all of this splendid reception by the public, the team was not particularly anxious about the success of their show; they had made fortunes for others. No. my partner and I haven't been what might be called foxy financiers, began Mr. Blake's life, we had thinking the money. We have been so happy in our work, so pleased with our reception by the public and so good as we would like to see it seriously considered a mission that we haven't been thinking so much about the dollars we have can earn a few extra ponnies, you know, if we feel inclined in that direction. Lately, we have been in a position between the two, we entirely to our stage work and to the composition of songs and we haven't accepted the many invitations that we are going to us to go out as private entertainers. A few weeks ago the lady who is going to the children of the family was asked to come to her home to sing for her friends for an hour at midnight, after our performance at the school of the school, and we were to go to the school before that we wanted to please her, so we went. We sang for an hour and when we were leaving, she hands-up to the book, $250. We had a call to start out to say, can earn money and we do earn money. We had what is called a big sales in our own show; but we've had something in mind all along that seems much more important than money. We had a show that would stay in New York as society entertainers. Name a multimillionaire in the city, and you'll see me from me. I can tell you when we were entertaining aboard his yacht. At his summer home or winter palace they've all been at the same time and I've made a special it. Still, and I may seem a long way around getting to what I am trying to do—it isn't the money "Partner and I want to be paid for what I believe. We want to live well, procreate, and believe. But what we want is to do everything we can to convince the skeptical white audience that we have a legitimate place on the stage as we place, the same as anyone else. We believe in our entertainment and we believe that it has a big value in the world. "Always understand that we are not the only audience that we know that we have something of our own knowledge to believe in, because we have reason to believe—is accustomed to white audiences as well as to audi- Sees Jazz as Negro Development "Propagandists — that's what you think of us?" laughed Noble Sissie. "That word has been used too much lately—since the war—and yet that's exactly what we want to be, if you use the word correctly. "Take my case. Here I was, the son of a Cleveland Colored preacher of the gospel. Now, father was liberal-minded and no doubt would have been interested in my career, had he lived; but he had not the slightest doubt that I would become a singing evangelist. That was in his mind during the years that I was getting an education. "Now, I'll give you something to smile about. That's in reality what I have become, or more correctly speaking, that's how I think of myself, and I know that my present work is the development of the evangelical life." And while we are talking about it, there's something more fundamental than the city's people's money-on-food-modern "that" where there's so-called modern- and jazz came from. Let them argue all the way well, let them recall that many of the people have been very principally associated melodies and the rhythm which we like to think of as excessive-ly modern. The fact remains that jazz is the only way to be used to express the negative it was his way of expressing his religious emotions. His body swayed by the rhythm become more marked by the end of the day and the song increased under the spell of the moment. That marked a turning of the tide in music history for it was taken up and enjoyed by the white in America, the time was ripe for Europe to turn its attention to what was interesting America's something common for the world and also the has gone around the world. Yes, it is confidently believe that it had a origin with the American Negro of the South and belief that the negative has had much to do with its development. It was a sad loss to us when Jim Europe died. I believe that he would have proved to the world that he was a musical leader, a path-finder who could help us better always with his life in Europe during the war after the signing of the armistice. Italy sent its first post to the United States. The European and the whole of close a hundred and on this big occasion, Jim Europe's band was selected to represent this country. He had only men or the other "He called us together and said that we were all brothers; others; but he urged us to do what we could and every man did his best. We were all brothers, and other down South songs, including Memphis Blues—and what was the reason for it? We were still iniring in our ears. The people didn't want us to stop. We had brought new songs—complicated that was to remain—complicated that was to remain." "And now to go back to what I said last night, I would not be disappointed in me. I am nite theater and I am not singing with you. I want to be a partner and I want to be evangelical, race, to which we belong. And if we cumplen white audiences to listen to us, we will have thousand people who see and hear us. And if we have the Colored man than in the past, then we have done something that's been done before. And we want to do, it is our biggest aim." "But is there permanent value to the jazz music of popularity at the moment?" I inquired. "you bet there's 'wremant' value to prove that & would take too much proof that & would take too much Consider Their Work as Mission time to present all of it. Look at the one night as I was seated at the piano with my orchestra in New York, I observed the Detroit orchestra and the Detroit barbershop group, really behind me, where he could study the scores and observe everything. He could be his interest. He called my mother together after told them that we were being heard and that they were not playing them; they were not playing the kind of music in which he was sequentially offered to offer what we have in the best position, and that I was browning in browliness was there in the same seat with a guest heides him and they discussed. Three times he was there, and I was thoroughly interested. We and dozens of other famous ones that I saw and women and women that I saw, when such men and women are interested, we men and women are interested, we I am convinced of that. It is not just belongs to them and will continue to amuse and entertain them; it is of Let me tell you of someone who was socially very prominent, who did not have much understanding in what might be called a scientific way, but who was thinking merely of entertainment values. She was sit- came on a contest at Boston, a "I am a great man," "Great heavens," she said to her neighbor—very certainly not knowing what she was. "I am a Colored man, but considered to be a challenge for me to be every thing," she told me when doing a study as spiritually as possible. I wanted to be a particularly good performance. Thing, moving along nicely during the last year, I had a good idea that she had to do her program carefully. "As I laid down the baton at the certain line, the lady beckoned me. 'Did you hear,' she asked. 'How do you come in?' she asked. I shook my head. 'Honestly?' she inquired. I did not limit my heart anything. If you did, I want to do something. It is the same thing. And if you did or if you didn't, I want to tell you that I never have a copy of my work more in a single way in the years when I did not know your partner and everyone else in the company has done tonight and I want to do so." "How strong as it may appear to you," said the young man, who was very happy. My partner and I had done it to do so, but she was trying to do and who was that continued to endeavor to do. We had made at least one prejudiced person not of our life. I would hardly do the American Colored entertainer. So, you see, we have reason to believe that little by little we are really accomplishing something. And some- ing we are the most good thing to do of it. Do you understand our interest in that, Jazz and synoptocd music of the most modern kind is passing through its stages of development. It is including the in the movement and to believe it is we do. "Then you admit that it is changing from the barking, quackling, noisy business of a couple and cornets� guailed?" I asked. "It certainly is changing—has changed very materially within the last few years; yes, one might say within months, reply. Sissly is like to think of Jazz this is do of liquor traffic. That expresses it. A few years ago there was too much liquor and the result was noise and confusion. Then prohibition and we had done it last, not wholly suspended. Too much liquor is like too much jazz. There's no amendment of the Constitution forbidding the writing or playing jazz that is loud, having a vaguance and no effect, but has been a prohibition wave sweeping over the country. It remains rhythmic and synoptocd are it was in the beginning, but its better values are beginning, but its better values are coming into the place. And the prohibition movement will go on. Let me demonstrate to you." Jazz to Be Typical American Music "And it is here to stay," it will be developed and I am of the opinion that it will become the most typical American music of the future." Producers Eager for Their Numbers Sissie and Blake formed their partnership several years ago and now they think they were the most expressful Sissie who had been in the second with jubilee singers answered a hurry call and filled an engagement as a singer in Baltimore, and a career where Blake was reading the orchets. As they became acquainted during this engagement, the facts became known to both them that Blake was the first one to be heard in a writing series. While Sissie had been trying lyrics. Why not combine more enthusiastic parties? They're together. They didn't care how many hours they worked, nor when—before or after their professional duties. Sophie had been a flake of the one who visited Baltimore—and that Sissie and Blake, then unknowed, had written songs specially for them—always upon topical themes. When the band was the song, sometimes they didn't go so far as to acknowledge receipt of our brain children and never glanced a "our control" at it. Occasionally, somebody of consequence delivered our songs in public, so we went at it again and wrote more of them. We have a regular formula of work. We sometimes sit down and write lyrics and turn them over to Blake, wondering how the mean�in and�—the way of inspiration—who sometimes they don't: sometimes they do. And in the same way, Blake writes a melody of something like a long-term words afterwards. Yes, we've turned out a lot of work in this way. We've had sixty songs in stage productions. "Seventy would be nearer," corrected Blake. And now all of the Broadway producers like to have a Sissie and Blake "We went into vaudeville with our own songs, and we were delighted with our success," continued Sissie. "Probably everyone thought that we were after the money. Well, we weren't. We had an idea all the time that the day would come when we could present all-Colored productions, giving an opportunity to young women and young men of our own race to appear in the first-class theaters of the country to MESSED UP The following is a clipping from a recent issue of an *Indianapolis*日报.

Colored Artist Doesn't Seek Much When you come to think of it, the man he seems satisfied with a certain "disminination" in regard to his color-at-attention. Perhaps the most American of all, he and ministers usually are white actors with their makeup of brown or black skin, and ministers viewpoint in regard to this. "Good," he pleasingly said, "to be replied." If the white minister be a good actor, he would recognize and admire the agent who we recognize and admire. The agent actions should put on white makeup and appear in the characterizations of white "No, sir, we do not and never expect to be a desirable. But we believe that we offer mind you, in characterizing our own people. No, Negro actors should not." I referred to the almost scandalous agitation against the production of Eugene O'Neill's new play. "All God's Chillum Got Ages, like a few dark and ridiculedly warped opinion and ignorance has been at the bottom of most of this agitation. Nevertheless it represents a white girl married to a Negro. A world of art and it should be remembered always that art has nothing to do with race or with morale. Shakespeare had Desdemona married to a Colored man and his son was a fit woman presented. You'll recall that Alda, the Ethiopian, is the companion of Rhamas-mes in the opera and nobody becomes silly in argument about it. But O'Neill has a way of stirring up the hornets as he has with the Emperor Jones and "The Hairy Apes." "Do you think that 'All God's Chillum' should be produced?". I asked these two Colored men of the theater. "We called them in my way to make the theater better and more entertaining or instructive, anything that has a cultural aim should be seen there. Personally, we would prefer not to have any play on the stage. That's what we are endeavoring to avoid. There's too much prejudice as it is, racial and religious. Live and let live is our motto.

Y.-Gus Hill is going to have an all-Colored shirt on the Columba circuit, the unwritten Columbia rule against the all-Negro aggregations, says a man named Octoroons. "The Octoroons, a title used some 20 years ago or more by John W. Isham, will take the attitude that Jimmy Cooper is back half white on the Columbia show, and contends he has the right to play the half white on the Columbia is satisfied or group race show. Cooper show is owned by R. G. Hynicka, an officer of the Columbia circuit, so he is determined, he stated this week, he would make a legal test case of his rights in the premises, should the show idea for the wheel next season. "In addition to the all-Colored shirt show, he controls two Columbia franchises, which he has leased for the will personally operate next season. 1 "Hill may revive the title of 'Vanity Fair' for the all-white Columbia troupe ADA WRITES Dear Tony: Just a line to let you hear from me, as at the last writing I was very ill in Dr. Reid's sanitation in Cordelia.

Some land upon their feet look about, get their bearings and hit the road for success; others land upon their heads for a knockout and pass from the scene of human affairs. Such a succession of unchronicled events is responsible for many embryo preachers, doctors, lawyers, bankers, bakers and candlestick makers being mixed up in show business. Many persons outside of show business would be surprised to know how many persons in it are the offspring of ministers and how many have studied for the ministry and to know how many have left show business to enter the ministry. We went to see "Barville" at the Colonial theater, Cleveland, Ohio. Looking at Noble Sissle, now one of the most conspicuous figures in show business, it was difficult for us to realize that only a few years ago he confided that he had decided to devote his life to community service work. "Hamville," by Sissy and Blake, is a story about a girl we have seen. We have not had the pleasure of seeing "Hunlin Wild," so the girl's village is a riot of beauty, music, dancing and comedy and guarantees a day in any one, wishing to be entertained. We often wonder why the park of such men in show business as Whitney and Tutt, Slass and Blake Miller and the "Billy and the Blue" Irving, are not going to have a good time. But Whittam sisters and others, is so little understood and so little appreciated. Show business is the most important to all the customers of dollars, a game of show business is mostly a game of "put and take"; we do all the putting and bad business does the taking; and when taking the idea of these following an idea seeking to realize a dream, and if in so doing, they rather in a few dollars the reward is well earned. Showmen like the above named group, the show business is the most important to all the country; their highest ambition is to show the artistic achievements of their race at its best and only modestly forces us to say that in this they're the second only to the minimum and college professors. Who can estimate the uplifting, constructive and progressive values of such shows? The Red Moon, "Black Patti Troubadours," "The Smart Set," "My Friend from Kentucky," "Children of the Sun," "Shallower Alone," "Liza," "Rumours," "Wild Life," "Pinkness," "The Day," "Over the Top" and others show business is one of the greatest uplifting influences in our racial life and should be fostered, encouraged and unattractive.

Sangster, popular Los Angeles (Cal.) young man, dropped in at the Old Roll Ton Desk on Tuesday and handed the writer a copy of the Los Angeles Times of Friday. May 23. He has been part of and knew our attention to the following article: The female "Bill Robinson, dusky stage comedian, who is appearing at the Orpheum this week, will be one of the added attractions at the Southern California. Arizona and New Mexico. Simple times they voyets at the Coliseum tomorrow afternoon. The singer is also considerable of a syriinter and will appear in a special 100-yard dash. "Whereas, most of the dash stars run facing the tape, Robinson is a bit more l�ing and does all of his running back fire. The performing parts of it is that he makes good time, being able to cover the century in a shade over 14 seconds. "Some years ago Robinson appeared on a track where Howard Drew, the first S.C. star, was running, and vagaged that he couldn't live him four seconds start and beat him in 100-yard dash.

I think he has in the profession two years and I'm never stolen a pin from anyone. But I will admit owing a small bill in Bal-timcre. It wasn't $100, neither was it $50, and it wasn't owed to him; and he than that I've agreed to pay a sum on the bill cash with it is to pay it. If I had made it with me, I came away to increase my salary. And as for the trunk; it's mine, and always has been mine. It was bought from the Novelty shop in Norfolk Va., and I'm sure Mr. De Legare will withhold me to the charges against me, for we all have owed before we could not pay. But when we try to alter our different, I was born trying and have worked hard for two years by myself, one of which I served as chorus girl for Mr. De Legare. I wish the company all the success in the world. I am sure Mr. De Legare is sorry for this little incident that came before us while he was angry.

May 24—Special—After losing six of the first seven games played on the home lot and the Monarchs City against the leading Monarchs, things began to happen at the club boarded a train for Memphis to Birmingham then journey to Birmingham to take on the Birmingham Black Barons. Fans are up in arms against the club and demand a chance in the line-up. Last Friday it became known here that Mrs. C. I. Taylor, owner of the club, would be showing of the club, both at home and on the road, had decided to take drastic steps to bolster up the lagging club. Manager Dismukes stated to the writer just before leaving Kansas City for the South last week that he would home home a real club with the club personnel. He immediately signed two youngsters secured from the Monarchs and sent out his scout the bushes for promising players. White in the South he hopes to gather together enough talent to place the high pedestal it has always secured. Jumpers to the Eastern wing of the baseball battlefield proved the undoer, who last year sported the uniform of the Indianapolis club, are wearing the uniforms of Eastern clubs this season. Ten players jumping from the league good players leaving a single club—that's something else again. Sure, they could hurt any club. Of the last years crop of players the local club has been able to retain only three, the others go out in recent years. The extent to which the shake-up might go is problematical at this time, however, to give the players of great sols in recent baseball circles. A brand-new club may appear on the field, but will not be surprising to those who have watched the club in its recent attempts to get together to see almost anything happen before many It is whispered in some quarters that the club owner is considering be the new owner, if sold, is not known at this time. However, the rumor is pretty well founded that a club obtained from Mrs. Taylor was to the effect that there would have to be a complete shake-up in the personnel that did not fit into the scheme of a winning ball club. She also said that if she was to be the fans had a winning club in a short time if she had to do some duty herself. Regarding the sale talks the impression that the fans would sell if the right party offered the right proposition, we anticipate the fans are watching the outcome of the local club's shake-up. To be or not to be, that seems to be the all important question here now. Ninth Cavalry Wins From Second Cavalry By H. F.

The Lincoln Giants scored their eighth straight victory and took the lead in the Eastern League pennant race when they defeated the Bucharach Giants in a double-header at the Catholic Protectory oval before the largest crowd of the season. The Atlantic City team was outclassed in both games and lost the first by the score of 9 to 1 and the second by the score of 8 to 3. Mitchell started the first game for the visitors, but when five runs were scored in the first Inning Carr relieved him and was able to keep the hits of the local team well scattered for the remainder of the game. Dave Brown, who pitched for the home team, was in excellent conditions and allowed but six hits. In the second inning he base hits by Linne and Reed were responsible for the Bacharachs. George Scales of the Lincoln hits out his sixth home run of the season in a two-base hit and Williams, Wilson Kenyon, Burnett and Brown were able to get singles. He was featured by a number of errors on the part of the Bacharachs, a home run by Hudspeth and two base hits by Marcel, Lannan and the entire game for Lincoln and while he allowed ten hits, they were well scattered and he received good support, seven innings, also allowed ten hits, but did not get the proper support. Harper finished the game for his team. Although the many changes in the line-up of the Lincoln caused some severe criticism early in the season, he has been much improved. Manager Gans and Jas. J. Keenan, the owner, are confident that they have the best team in the country and one of the best Colored teams in the country.

ERHAPS the folks that played at home Sunday when the heavy downpour washes out as if the game would have been called off are the ones who they missed a chance to see the American Glants perform—and they perk up. ERHAPS the folks that stayed at home Sunday evening pour made things look as if the game would have been called off or anyway, they just issued a charge to see the American Giants perform—and they performed—by perfection. They did every thing they had to saring on the bases; stole second and third at will, then Gardner stole home clean and Bobby Williams lived up and above all his past records, whatever kept. Callumore on the team he didn't possess here, or, if he did possess it the home boys batted it out of him. Then, too, folks, Brendan some excuse for the stolen bases. By the way, the game with the Filipinos was called off. It was not decided that there would any sort of a game 2-20. Treadwell, yes the Treadwell of 20-inning fame started and went the entire route. He had one bad inning, Hewitt's error paving way for that lone tally the visitors got. The miscue was followed by two bases on balls which clogged the sacks and then along came Conway and she, taking the office of Gardner, scoring the Nixon after the catch. After that it was all peaches and cream for the home folks. Jelly Gardner started trouble, as usual in the very first frame by working at a small-scale manufactory walk. Hewitt singled to left. Marlarcher was safe when Tooley dropped Hagerman's easythrow and Gardner scored. Brown's ball was a small-scale little shove as Hewitt was three-fourths of the way home. In the excitement Bobby came near being safe, and Mary was so good that the top of the match was second. Torrently walked and stole second. Grant's Texas leaguer scored two more runs. Roth was safe on Farmers's track and the single was the second and more runs went across. An S. O. S. signal went to Callamore, although the umplres failed to announce his entry. Gardner was a star in the long run, sent a long sacrifice fly to center, and Roth counted the seventh tally. Hewitt fouled to Brenegan. In the evening, the elephant of the crowd was going to the third on an out-of-stealing home cleanly. Hits by Gardner, Hewitt, Narling, and Brown scored three in the airtime. The Fort. Wayne boys had beaten the Port. Wayne boys and beat them how did it no one knows. They've got a good ball club, but the way they played has changed. They've stopped Rubie's men. Treadwell held them to four scattered hits, three of which were from three trips to the plate. Monarchs next. **FORT WAYNE** | **GIANTS** | | :--- | :--- | | Nikon cf. ... 4 | Ariane B. B.

The series with the Cubans is going to start with Stats are headed for second place and victories over the Cubans will keep them in a fine position to fight Monarchs, whom Detroit meets in a series in Chicago starting June 7. It is not expected that the teams do not expect to take all their games from Foster during the time the Cubans and Detroit are fighting it in the set of games and the American Girls can give the Monarchs a severe set of games and the American Girls race will take on a different aspect. Detroit has a championship team if they can once get warm weather and hit their stride. The local club plays its games, playing Battle Creek, Three Rivers and Jackson, Mich., and opening up in Chicago on June 7. The local club plays Kansas City and will return home to open Mack park on June 28 against the Black Barons of Birmingham. Ala., the new entry in the league, will be known in this city as "All Southerners' Day" at Mack park, when the folks from down home have been invited to come out and play. It is expected to be the greatest day in the history of the Detroit team with the exception of when Tenny Dunn's team faces the American Giants. Petway has coached his team well in the prevailing weather conditions, and barring injury to any player, the mortal day, will pave the way for the Stars to meet Kansas City in the crucial series in Chicago June 7.

M. C. A. and voted the Brooklyn Royal Giants out of the Eastern circuit. The speedy and drastic action of the board was occasioned by the fact that the management of the Royal Giants refused to play out the schedule drafted and adopted by the commissioners. Nat. Strong, owner of the Brooklyn்டشوله, one of the commissioners who helped to map out the schedule adopted for the present season, was conspicuous by his absence at the meeting. Also Alex Pompez, leader of the Cuban Stars, was among the missing; his absence, however, was accounted for by the fact that the Cubans were playing on an extended road trip and duties compelled him to stick to his club. Pompez, however, was represented by proxy who advised that the Cutans' intentions were to stick to the league and able to work for the Commission. Tom Jackson, Chief Employees of Jim Keenan, Ben Taylor, Colonel Strothers and Chairman Ed. Bolden comprised the gathering. Offering to continue with the organization, but refusing point blank to play out the scheduled games between the Lincoln Giants, a rumor that is given great credence is to the fact that strong personal feeling between Natasha and the other players so strudged that rather than play his club against the Lincoln Giants, the Royal Giants mentor placed his club position to be ousted from the East. Showing action of varied nature, the commissioners picked a committee to ratify and revise the league in Philadelphia at a near date. Since the Brooklyn Royal Giants were a traveling club without a home park, it simply dwindles down to the fact that the league clubs will stand, but where the Royal Giants were scheduled the date will be filled by another league attraction and the quota of games per club will be increased accordingly. The advisability of accepting another club in the league was discussed, but as a result of clubs represent all of the A-1 clubs in the East and it would hinder rather than help the organization to build a swaker club. All league games scheduled with the Royals are considered automatically cancelled and for that reason all clubs of Strong will be called off. The Bacharach Giants were scheduled for a double header with the Royal Glen on Saturday and with the league ruling, the Seashell club will pass up the outcasts. AMERIGAN TENNIS ASSN.

Field meet, which was held Saturday evening at Zimmerman field, capturing all of the college division and rounding out the day with 71 points out of a possible 90. The other games in the college division were divided among Antlech and Wittenberg athletes. 12/10/19 Harry ( "Wu Hang " ) Word of the Wilberforce team was the in- dividual star of the meet, garnering a total of 19 points on two firsts and three seconds. The cold weather and adverse winds kept the records down, especially in the pole vault events, but the team was able to maintain their class, the winners taking the honors by only a small margin. The Wilberforce men appeared at the meet in the vaulting team. From the outset it was clear that the Wilberforce collegians would be hard to beat, but the easier by the fact that only five contestants, representing both Wilberforce and Antioch, were in the list against the invaders. Each of the Wiltenberg and Antioch athletes placed in at least one event, but Wilberforce took too much reserve strength, with the fact that they were soon far out in front. Each of the high point men will be given silver or bronze medals.

TIGER FLOWERS A REAL FIGHTER BY JAMES J. CORBETT (Copyright by King Features Syndicate) If Tiger Flowers were white he would be middleweight champion of the world or, as king-pin aspirant, he would be a nurse for his every ring appearance. Dut Flowers is a Negro, the greatest one-fourth of what he would get on him on the "color line" pretext—and Flowers must fight for sums about one-fourth of what he would get on him on the "color line" pretext—and Flowers is one of the most pictureque fighters in the ring today, and one of the most remarkable fighters in human form it is the whirlwind from Atlanta, whose trio of victories in human form has given tremendous prestige to Georgia as a fight-producing state. The Negro, a southswain, is 20. He has a top weight has been 164. Yet he has fought men—and whipped them—who have had to fight heavier than year he has had to fight light heavier and heavyweights almost exclusively because the 160-pounders—white and black—have studiously avoided Flowers made his debut in New York, after a year of effort to break the record for the highest-pound Norkolf who had knocked out Kid Norfolk. Flowers chopped Anderson to wobble and an obsession with his weight. His showing was such that blaze New York fight critics went into superlatives. Flowers returned to New York in two weeks, and wrapped dimy Dury in every one of their 12 rounds, and then conquered by Jack Renault, in each of the 12 rounds. By that time skeptical New York lost its skispeeder middleweight that had invaded the cleverest and the brainsiest middleweight that had invaded the flowers was performing portering chores when Walk Miller, the Atlanta promoter, came up with a job in his gymnasium. Flowers, under Miller's teaching, learned to box in his lessons, and the fight night was under roster in the ring. The Negro never has lost either a referee's or a popular decision in any bout that has gone the full distance so far where the scheduled number of rounds was fought he was so far out in front in points that there was no possible chance for a difference of opinion. The Tiger is called "the white Negro in the boxing game." He is one of the cleanest living. He is married, has a child, is deacon in a JACOBS FIGHTS RHODES TO DRAW JACOBS FIGHTS DETROIT STARS RHODESTODRAW TRIUMPH, 6 TO 3 Marion, Ind., May 22—Rube Rhodes of this city and Eddie Jacobs of Indianapolis fought a ten-round draw based on a crowd of 100. Jacobs was beating Rhodes in landing his blows, but Rhodes' aggressiveness during the entire bout earned him a draw. The opponent was a talented liminaries. The boxing show was staged by Jack Edwards and the large crowd seemed to be well pleased with the show. Leslie Treber referred the man to Rhodes weighed in at 121½ and Jacobs at 119 pounds. The first four rounds were on even terms, both with and without knockouts and not until the sixth round was there anything that looked like an uneven round. Rhodes seemed to have the advantage in the sixth round, with both hands standing off and hammering Rhodes' head. Towards the last of the bout Jacobs was beating Rhodes to the punch and in the eight round seemed to be winning one of his powerful lefts to the head. In the ninth round Jacobs landed numerous lest and rights to the body without any uprune. He blocked a fast poke up until this time and was slowing down. In the last round the fighters met in the middle of the ring and captured body shows for several seconds. Rhodes continued to force the fighting, although seemingly weak. The fight ended with both fighters boxing in the middle of the ring. There was not asemblance of a knockdown during the fight. JOHNSONVILLE II WINS MEET Westminster, MD, May 30 — The Johnsonville High school, with a total of 39 points, defeated the only team on a knockdown during the fight. Johnsonville field.

The other schools were represented: White Rock, Ridge, Western Chapel, New Windsor, Bark Hill and Friestland. HYWEIGHT KING hyweight division who merit a chance n is Dixie Lucien of 1011 N. Roman seen rightly dubbed "the boy with a usher St., New Bedford, Mass., is his OWERS FIGHTER church, has his own home, built a special one for his parents and has his own car, and his other relatives. He is the idol of the Negroes in Georgia, and because he is ever modest and retiring; because he is always the one of the worst carousse or dissipation, and "knows his place," as they say in the South, he is extremely popular in Florida. Flowers probably is the only strict vegetarian in the ring game. He will not eat meat of any sort because of an aversion to cutting the flesh of animals. He is not a fan of the last he is a human torment, racing, stabbing, hooking, retreating, ducking—and then in again. His man looks like a heavy-booted lumberjack in comparison, and Flowers swarms all over his footman before the other man knows what's hap Flowers is a southpaw with a tricky circling motion that makes him an almost always away from an opponent. Rather, he retreats sideways and attacks from the side. The team will be constantly turning, and as a result is almost constantly off guard. Miller devoted nearly a year to the team's efforts to win the York ring. He succeeded only because he agreed to take an insignificant percentage. The crowd that Flowers' greatness and of his spectacular style of fighting spread before he fought again. That night Flowers appeared and Flowers appeared the third time the arena was jammed. "I want to get either Harry Greb or I should claird Miller." "Till make it a worthwhile proposition for either or both of them. If McTighe will meet Flowers' decision he can have Flowers share of the purse. If Greb will meet the Tiger in a decision battle he, too, can have the Tiger's money for that." "Some fighters have drawn the color line all during their careers, but Grebte McTighe are not in them. McTighe womens little title a Negro and Grebte womens fought many black warriors, and not one of them ever made a proposition, as we I am anking in behalf of Flowers. I regard Flowers as the greatest man of his weight in the world today, and I know he can prove it if either he can find it a little leisure time to test out the Tiger anywhere at all."

The nightcap battle was called at the end of the seventh inning when a sudden shower converted the playing field into a small fake. Much has been written about mediocre pitching staff vossessed by the owners yesterday a different tale was related. The hurling corps performed well, but the slusters failed to hit, being held to seven bingles in sixteen innings by the visiting pitchers. Their eyes were dimmed by a cold wind which swept the field, but the freezing weather did not seem to bother the Cubans. They played a bangup game, both in the field and at the Chick-fil-A, about old Havann and the good, warm drinks that can be purchased there probably kept the Cuban players in high spirits, despite the raging elements. Hamilton pitched the initial contest and then came back in the second fracas, but retired after pitching two innings. Gordon replaced him on the mound and was touched for two runs in the evening. Inning and another Miles was the only member of the local club to boost his batting average. The star outfielder obtained by the Browns during the twin bill. FIRST GAME CERANS BROWNS BILLA B.

Georgia Cyclone Tiger Howers RAIN FACTOR IN HILLDALE'S WIN RAIN FACTOR IN HILLDALE'S WIN Darby, Pa. May 24.—Overcoming a four-run lead in the first game of season at Glenview and Hildale, the Atlantic City crew crept up behind the Boldenites in the fifth frame and hammered over a brace of markers in 100 yards of the eleven-mile seashore crew in the lead. Rain fell in torrents, making it necessary to call the game, and the score reverted to the fifth innings with the Hildale team bringing the long end of a 4 to 3 score. Even with threatening clouds hanging over the ball park about 100 yards from the park tree to the locals and the Bacharach Glants led by the peeleers John Henry Lloyd hook up in a grim second place in the Eastern circuit. "Rats" Henderson, the star heaver for the Barchach Giants, pulled a second inning to leave the start of action before the first inning had been played. Johnnie Harper succeeded him and van Kamp, the first inning pitcher, but pitches pitched a clever brand of ball after the third inning. "Nip" Winters went the route for Hildale and the big pitch out a home run with one on in the second inning. The home crew had gathered one run in the first and added another in the third, and the run getting for the Darby dalges. The Giants started swinging their chips with telling effect in the fifth inning. Jones doubled along the first base line and Harper sacrificed him. Jones scored on White's line single to right. Ramirez doubled to center and White counted. Lundy kept up-the-bombardment with a single that scored White. Then the the "next session" with two runs across the platter and the bases filled rain broke up the battle and Hilldale grabbed a horseshoe victory. HILLDALE BACHARACHI R.H.P.N. White H.E. R.H.P.A.

Not Fitness, His Aim By CHARLES H. WILLIAMS Secretary, Treasurer, G. I. A. A. and Physical Director, Hampton. Hampshire, Va. May 30.—The good and evil influences of fraternities in athletics were discussed at the recent session of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic association, which was held in Lynchburg, Va. The best presentation of the subject was given by Dr. Walter G. Alexander, graduate manager of Lincoln university and vice president of the C. I. A. A. For some time there have been rumors among some of the college circles that the selection of members of various teams and especially the selection of captains and managers was a connection. One speaker at the meeting declared that at his institution this spring, an attempt was to elect a baseball manager. He said that the team's certainties remained in session all night and could not elect a manager. Finally he was called upon to appoint "If we could conceive of fraternities being 10 per cent better than we would deserve some serious consideration, for all of us, this wholesome influence in its entirety. If, however, we could conceive of fraternities as mental, they would certainly be deserving of the most serious consideration, to eliminate them from college life. If, again, we could conceive of fraternities that would be partly harmful there would still be need for the fraternity to direct our thoughts and activities towards curtailing the evil fraternities have certainly made a very decided change in the life of our fraternities have been very largely instrumental in changing his viewpoint of "When I was a student at Lincoln, 25 years ago men at college and around the two literary societies, namely, Philosophian and Garnett, were outside, outside of our scholastic work, as these two volunteer student organizations, in the rivalry within these organizations for the honor of being president and as for our interest went, for whenever there was any whole no one apparently ever thought of his connection with these societies, and the time of any of my acquaintances did membership in either of these organizations, the college as a whole. Spirit of Clannishness: There has developed in the past few years a wonderful spirit of clannishness among student bodies. It is practically common knowledge that in all schools where fraternities exist these fraternities influence practically all phases of college life and preferent for everything, except scholastic honors, depends almost entirely on a student's status in the class of many instances that happens that the most essential condition for preferent in the schools, but too often the student's popularity in his own fraternity and the allegiance among fraternities determine the student's elevation. "It is fairly common knowledge that elections for team managers are captained and are working to be typically always determined by fraternity affiliation, and a man who is affiliated with a fraternity that is not closely linked with another strong fraternity usually stands but little show in obtaining college honors, and the fellow who is not allied with any fraternity at all receives not consideration whatever." The influence of a student is so strong that a student today is compelled whether he so desires or not, to be a member of some fraternity or else he has to suffer complete ostracism so far as elective positions in college life are concerned. Partisan Idea It is quite common information that a union against Mu men or Nu men and the question of preferment will depend on the fraternity and the strength of the fraternities in combination. It is therefore important that the welfare of the fraternity rather than the welfare of the union be that this kind of channiness, which becomes so thoroughly and highly desired, is likely to prevail even after he has gone into the word. Men will seek to be included in the other, not with regard to the attachments of a common alma mater, but with regard to the encumbered in college of seeking the companion. It was a common report during the football season last year that the other two men on the teams. This would happen when the quarterback and the other were same fraternity and, according to reports, that the coach thereto intended to disrupt his entire back field unless the other two men in the back field. Under favorable conditions it was easy to disrupt other men who were equally as good. It might happen that the attempt to use this same star repeatedly would result in "This means, then, that something must be done and done before a very important condition, and this can only be done by making student bodies realize this condition, and this can only be done by making student bodies realize the interest of the school be made subservient to the interests of the fraternity, interfraternity councils have been formed, and very successful because the members of these councils were not willing to support the various graduate institutions for the success of the council. "To my mind nothing could be more important than the very subject of fraternity interests of the various graduate chapters than this very subject of fraternity interests of the various graduate chapters because that the majority of members of graduate chapters realize the conditions it seems reasonable that they should willfully take steps to help correct any and all errors in their own suggestion would be that all graduate chapters at some early date their own suggestion to confer on this matter with the faculty of schools and represent them in student life, and that in all activities, fraternial or otherwise, every student in school be done for the welfare of the school.

Questioned as to his motive by the Third district police, Harris said that he was despondent because of the illness of his mother in Memphis, Tenn. He was also related to the relatives of his landlady, Mrs. Alice May Haynes, with whom he roomed when he was in Memphis. They said he was a boarder there and in love with Mrs. Haynes. Because of his inability to bridge the reason alleged for his suicidal attempt, he was not able to bridge in the reason of his home suffering from the effects of the poison dose. He was taken to the hospital, where he was brought out of danger by Doctors Collard and Partee of the hospital. 3803 Federal St., where he was brought out of danger by Doctors FIRE TRAP SCHOOLS SCORED IN ADDRESS Atlantic City, N. J. May 30—Novel H. Thomas of the national board of the American Society for the Advancement of Colored People, addressed a gathering of more than 100 people on Monday night, May 19, on the damaging results of segregation that the city completed. The people of the city completes the segregation schemes fostered by few. The people of the city speak the evening before at Fitzgerald's hall and immerse themselves who were being won over to segregation, who were to the Garden pler, in the ocean. “Segregation,” he said, “does infinite injustice to white and black allke. Already the Colored children are huddled into an antiquated frame structure, and they are able to instruction, while the white children have the magnificent modern brick and stone structures, the last word in educational equipment. In the high school, that splendid $2,000,000 institution but from the high school, they will be all white, the talk of segregation and even exclusion is rampant already. They have closed the swimming pool rather than allow Negro boys and girls to bathe in. Unless you have the same in the unfringement of the fundamental rights of childhood you do hurt to the entire citizenry. New York and Boston and many other Northern communities prove the practicability of democratic education. It is not the same as the co-workers in the building and maintenance of our common country, to stamp out this growing evil of discrimination in this great resort.” It was the first time a Race man had been brought to the social garden plier, but the audience cheered loudly, the appeals against segregation and the workings of the Ku Klux Klan, which is behind Colored people who are sponsoring the segregation movement in England and the majority of the people are aging. It led by Attorney James Lightfoot and Isaac Nutter, and a large number of the whites are supporting them. Mears, the postoffice and railroad station, is reached daily from Chicago by trains via the Pere Marquette railroad and by Goodrich boats to Muskegon, thence by train to Mears. By taking the newly opened Dunes highway, which runs into the famous "M-11," Michigan's state trunk line, you find a paved automobile road direct from Chicago to the farm by way of Hart, Mich. The quarters at Val-Du-Lakes will be $3.50 per week per person. The meals, which will be served country style, will be supplied with an abundance of fresh fruit, strictly fresh eggs, butter, milk, vegetables, etc., direct from the farm. Rates will be reasonable and will be made known upon application. Special terms will be given families and to boys and girls' clubs. It is our wish that everyone who visits the Val-Du-Lakes will return home greatly benefited. Come here if you want a vacation of rest and pleasure. M. A. Davis, Prop. Means, Mich.—Adv. WHAT CAN PIMPLY FACED BOYS AND GIRLS EXPECT? Nobody knows better than the boy or girl who has been slighted time and again by their supposed "best friend," how humiliating it is to have to stand for such "cutting" things when they know they can expect nothing more as long as they don't look attractive on account of a pimply, blotchy or rough skin. But such heartaches don't have to be put up with. Any boy or girl who is troubled with these skin blemishes can get rid of them if they will just use Black and White Ointment and the Soap. The fact that they sell at the tremendous rate of more than two million packages a year shows how popular they are. They are economically priced, in liberal packages. Any dealer can supply you with both the Ointment and the Soap. The 50c size Ointment contains three times as much as the 25c size. Philadelphia, Pa., May 30—Bline Miller, 30 years old, killed himself instantly Wednesday night while a squad of police, who were trying to capture him, looked on. When the police arrived at the rooming house, the police informed that Miller had shot two women, Miss Mabel Affey and Mrs. Taylor, the landlady. Breaking the door down they were met by a fuselide of shots from the intoxicated man's reveler. They rushed him, but he was shot in the chest and shot himself before they could lay hands on him. The women are in a serious condition at the Misericordia hospital.

FLA. MISS. FORMS INTERRACIAL ORGANIZATION Citizens of Both Races Discuss Problems Jackson, Miss. May 30—The cause of good will and co-operation abate in the state has decided step forward in the organization here last week of a strong effort to enter the organization and enters enthusiastically upon the issue of improving conditions in this state. Dr. Bratton, a professor by Bliph Theodore D. Bratton, the best-known churchman in the state, and was attended by more than 300 people. Dr. Bratton was elected chancelor; Blake Godfrey of the State Y. M. C. A. was elected president; Francis Harmon, assistant attorney-general of the state, was made executive committee by a strong executive committee. The citizens of our Race present who accepted membership on the commission were Professors W. H. Holtzclaw, Z. T. Hubert, L. J. Rowan, B. B. Dnnsby and W. A. Battle, Dr. A. W. Dumas and Dr. Zuber. Dr. Dumas was the principal spokesman for our group and made a fine and effective presentation of their viewpoint. He emphasized especially the need of better educational facilities. Prof. Bura Hilburn, state supervisor of schools, made a happy response, pledging his department to do all in its power to improve educational conditions for our people and pointing out the rapid progress already being made in that direction. Mr. Harmon and the executive committee were authorized to organize the whole state as rapidly as possible. R. W. Miles, field representative of the General Interracial Commission, was immediately sent out on this mission and within the week has interested leading citizens of Meridian, Laurel and Hattiesburg and has formed the nucleus of committees in those cities. Sentiment over the state is said to be more favorable to this work than ever before. JUDGE GIVES CUSACK A LESSON IN COLOR "Does it make disorderly conduct when two people of different races meet? Every time a man walks down the street, does he have to give an account of, at least, the evidence of disorderly conduct in this case. The defendants are discharged." Thus spoke Judge Drake (white) and James Pegg, taken into custody shortly after the $35th St. and Rhodes Ave. charged with disorderly conduct, tested: "If and my partner were standing at the corner of $35th St. and Rhodes Ave., waiting to pick up two girls, when this white man entered the arm and paid no attention until she went to the corner and spoke to the Colored man and started down the street and my partner to follow. They went a short distance and parted. Pegg went a short distance and a date with him for tomorrow night." ARRESTED WHEN HE TRIES TO PAWN LARGE DIAMOND The case of James Dunzee, ex-swimming teacher, taken into custody by a diamond ring which he alleged about a diamond ring which he at a jewelry shop at 2 S. Clark St. was continued until June 2 for further investigation and the deerk at the store offered him $700 as a ruse to hold him until he could get a police badge. Dunzee told the policeman that he got the ring from his mother, who was in the hospital, and his mother lived in Harrison, Pa.; later he repented, saying: "I told a lie. I found the ring in front of the Central depot in New Orleans." Serrt. Gorrin got in touch with the police department of New Orleans to ask him if he learned that on the day Dunzee said he found the ring a woman com- mitted to him, the spot. Dunzee, not being able to obtain bond, had been in custody ever since he was arrested in the presence of his attorney, William Jenkins, he was allowed to sign his own bond.

Bobbitt, well-to-do farmer of Zebulon, who was found dead in his bed with his left jaw bawled away and a shotgun beside him, in the city jail where she had been held since May 5 by order of the coroner's jury, made a complete statement of her husband's death to the Peace Lloyd Tilley, implicating Robert Basket, who is also in the county jail. --- According to the Bobbitt woman, Basket came to the door of the room in which her husband was sleeping on a couch. He placed a shotgun close to Bobbitt's throat and fired. Then he turned his gun on and ordered her to take down Bobbitt's room in the room. He placed the gun on the porch beside the dead man. The woman quoted him to the two men saying, "I will kill him and they'll think he killed myself. If you say anything I'll kill you and if anything happens to me there are other folks around him." She said that Basket had been trying to get her to be intimate with him for some time, but that she had not done so. She declared that he believed that if he could get her husband out of the way, he could make her do what Basket was angry at her husband, according to the woman, also because Bobbitt, whose tenant he was, had refused to advance him money with the money. Coroner Owens said that Mrs. Bobbitt and her daughter, who has also been in custody, would be released but that a mortgage for the house would be required in order to hold her as a witness in the trial of Basket.

An outstanding character with a past record that holds its own with any commercial Race man has passed away. Barron Wilkens of Washington, D.C. started out to make a few films for the race in the days when a man of our Race's greatest goal was that of a head-ache. He worked a white barber shop. Barron did not take kindly to any of these ideas. He was a natural leader and winner of good-will of men in every waltz. He started out as a bell boy in different watering places of the city, and he began. Barron soon attracted the manager of the hotels and became a popular head bellman. He was polished, gentle and could handle all the tasks he was assigned to. As a head bellman he saved his money and waited for the opportunity which would open broader paths for him. He happened at the hotel in 1980, and years ago. He out-bid all the white bidders for the restaurant privileges. This was not a financial success, but he was able to have taken $10,000 for the experience. Although he was popular in St. Louis he felt that he could do better as a chef and the Grand Union Hotel, Saratoga Springs, N. Y. After a very successful season at the Springs, Barron came to Omaha to invest in his earnings. In these days the most prosperous business in New York is the little business bought by the Lifetime business located on 35th St, near Eighth Ave, without a thought that the little 30 by 18 in New York would be a New York. The Little Savoy turned out to be the biggest money maker for the world. It was almost impossible to get a seat in it from 1 o'clock in the afternoon until 5 in the morning. Every visitor to the "big city" took in. The best trade from Broadway to the city was money poured in, and he handled it wisely. Barron Wilkins was not a gambler nor a good-time fellow. His business helped his friends and the poor. He had the traits of the famous politician Jim Sullivan, who never turned down a job. Little does the outside world know that Barron lost over $15,000 in outings that he once saved Williams and Walker during their hard struggles to keep the show on the air and Williams and Walker promoted another one, "Abyssinil," the show that started in 1995 and was the first trouble. The three people in Washington, D. C., wanted to see the show, but no house would book on it. Williams and Stock, their manager, refused to finance the show in the Convention Center, where every dollar he had to swing the deal at a cost that was far over the amount that the show was worth in late 1995. Just after that he financed the Gotham-Attucks Music Publishing company, which wrote could publish their songs. This adventure was a loser and many other things that he put his Barron Williams was a man who lived in the aeighting for the upstarts. He and his youngsters that came to his place was "Go do something worth while." BLEW IN TOWN, BLEW OUT In the Harrison St. police court Monday, Edward. Edcus, 23 of New York, pleaded guilty and just "blew" into town when he was taken into custody at State and Madison Sts. as a suspicious character.

The Clemenceau Case Alexander Dumas' great novel will make its third appearance in June. It will be the first of the historical productions of the Foster historical collection (Negro books. Dumas was not only a great Negro writer, but stands out the world over. He was the author of over 100 books and towered over Surdou and Victor Hugo, sons of France. James started his career as a writer back in 1830 and soon became the mouthpiece of France in fiction. He was the first writer in the whole of Europe to have his works published in 10 different languages, read the world over. Dumas stood for art and talent. When his enemies attacked him at a big banquet because of his color and race he responded, with a smile, that he was just as proud of his father's black blood as he was of his mother's white blood and that he was put on earth to serve the people and honor the flag of France. His friends rose to the standing voice of bravos a real son of France. Dumas was full chaste in the history of France and was a personal standard learer of Napoleon Bonaparte. The Clemenceau Case, the first of the historical reproductions, is an outstanding book of a romance that has never been quashed. It is a love romance, a battle of生生不息. It is a love对接, a long-term single end, will make any lover of good reading wish the book contained in a thousand pages. The Clemenceau Case will make the most critical matter that the book has to be known and should be a good and other, and the most of all. Dumas could produce a hundred years ago, a novel that surpasses any by the most cultured writers of today. Notwithstanding the present-day advancements in the modern world, Dumas's models are making their forward hope and chance, which means that they are ready for the future. This place is even by four generations. This place Alexander Dumas second only to Shakespeare. Every dramatic play adapted from Dumas's creels has been made and moving picture success. "Count of Monte Cristi," Camille, "Three Musketeers." "The Clemenceau Case" these plays will live on and on. The future is the moment of books have been selected or pre-ekil for the future. In the future at popular prices in reach of all, there are other great writers' books to be added to this collection in "The Life of Struggles of Toulsant L'Overture."

PYTHIANS RECEIVE WELCOME IN FLORIDA Sanford, Fla., May 30.—More evidence that the attitude of the race toward one another is changing and becoming more friendly is shown by the action of the white people of this town during the meeting of the 36th Grand Lodge of the Church of Python just outside of Plovdiv which was held in this city, May 10 to 22. The white Chamber of Commerce and the city administration of Plovdiv, members of the uniform rank and visitors of the Race, who crowded the small city. An athletic field of ten acres was occupied by members of the city for the uniform rank encampment and the police force was practically suspended during the three days of the session. The city officials assured the members of the city that they were done to make the visit a pleasant one and when the meeting began the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce personnel attended to the needs of visitors. The session of the Grand lodge was the most successful ever held. The lodge was organized by the state jurisdictions, N. W. Green, supreme chancellor of New Orleans, declared at the opening session Tuesday that order amounts to over $400,000 and membership is over 18,000. W. W. Green has ordered the general, its grand chancellor and since his first term, which began in 1910, the hall has paid out over $500,000. The lodge has ordered the $490,000 from a deficit of $5,000. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, supreme lecturer, delighted an audience of thousands on Monday night, at which time the mayor and members of the Chamber of Commerce were present. He said "I want to talk about the Jim-Crow car. A Jim-Crow car is a car with 40 people and 29 seats. The conductor has his office there, the porter has his office there, and the butcher, the fellow who sells his wares on the train, has his store there. Then, if he doesn't have a white man, there isn't a white man in Sanford who wouldn't give a Negro his money's worth if he went to trade with him. How can people think that a black car would run a road station and pay a dollar for two-bits worth of service?" His talk was warmly applauded by both races. ARREST ANOTHER ALA.

Young Parker was placed under arrest by Town Officer Lewis and held by MacIrare Thompson of Newark without bail on a charge of murder.
