The Chicago Tribune informs the southerners in the following editorial that they are "reading and warns them of Representative Tinkham's bill now before congress; A RESOLUTION TO ENFORCE THE CONSTITUTION It is not contemplated in the Constitution that such a population shall be represented. The war time conditions and the war emotions had died down. At least it would not allow all its qualified citizens to vote it should not have them represented. It is this provision which congress has nullified. The legal states were allowed to count 60 per cent of the slaves for representation. Now all are counted. Mr. Tinkham estimates that the southern states would lose a third of their representation in the Congress, and the legal representation. The illegal representation is an injustice. The congressional votes based upon a non-voting population are used to control northern voters in the Congress, and the legal representation imposes its political ideas. That is part of the dry strength in congress and it is based on nullification and a denial of suffrage rights. It annoys the Congress, but this mentioned but it is inescapable. Mr. Tinkham will find, if he is active, that he will develop a great deal of evasion, equivocation, side step and congress that it has nullified section 2 of article 1 of the Constitution.

Suspicion as to ed in the mind of Attorney G. Moore, who died in his home, 1812 N. Jefferson Ave. Nov. 13, 1925, of pneumonia. Moore's grave yielded 200 pounds of cement, carefully pucked in exoskeleton in an expansive steel casket, while Moore's body was in a shabby pine box. On the strength of these discoveries made by Attorney Phillips, Howell and his assistant, James Slaughter, were arrested. The man on whom the insurance was written turned out to be Raymond Hurling, porter in a barber shop. He was a physician, who said he h- was sent by Howell, had called on him. Hurling was a star witness in Howell's trial. [Cbicago Tribune] WAR ge Puts DEMOT Policeman to Stand Trial for Slaying After more than two months' persistent efforts on the part of South Chicago citizens, aroused over the unwarranted slaying last September of George Brooks, a steel mill worker and father of five children, Policeman Joseph Malek, the slayer of Brooks, was held to the grand jury Wednesday on a manslaughter charge by Municipal Judge Edgar A. Jonas. Brooks resided with his wife and children at 2347, 85th St. He was shot to death on the night of Sept. 29 by the policeman, who said Brooks refused to malt affair with white couple to marry him and consoled Malek that Brooks has insulted them. Arroused Over Verdict At the coroner's inquest the following day the policeman was exonerated by the jury. Aroused over the veracity of the jury and assasinated Brooks had been in blood, South Chicago citizens, alder by Attorney F. L. Barrett, succeeded in obtaining a warrant from the state's attorney's office, charging manslaughter. After a hard fight before different municipal court judges, from whom Malek's counsel obtained changes of venue, the case came to rest before judge F.oman. He heard the evidence No. 3, reserved his decision until Dec. 7. Gives Longevity Opinion Judge Jonas delivered a lengthy opinion based on the facts in the case, and cited various suspicions. Court Judge Jonas held Mackel to the grand jury under a $5,000 bond. Among other things Judge Jonas declared in rendering his opinion that Brooks was the king of Matke to the grand jury that: "In this case any other decision. In view of the facts, would be a treasury suit against Brooks, or that Brooks was a felon or had committed a felony. The most that could be charged against him on the night of the trial, was a misdemeanor or disorderly conduct and such a charge, the supreme court says, does not warrant a conviction by a policeman while in flight. Law Protects All "The fundamental law of this land protects all races and applies to all colors if they are within due bounds of propriety and they are American citizens, nor are they nized as such. It must be self-evident in this case. In view of the law and the facts, that the court could come only to one conclusion in conforming with the Constitution by the Constitutions of the Union and the state, and if would be a sad commentary if the courts would be averse to try or shirk from their duties and in infringing either creed or color. Because burden imposed on such a court might ultimately wreak injury upon him from a partisan standpoint. Courts have no right to can only while they fail to recognize personal advantages at any time when the liberty or rights of the people are involved. Consequently in this case any other decision, in view of facts, would be a travesty on "It is the order of this court that the defendant may be released from custody upon giving a bond of $5,000, and that he be held for trial to the criminal court accordingly."

Negro Changes His Attitude Toward Trade Unions By JOHN J. LEARY, JR. (In New York World, Dec. 11) These are busy days in the labor world. Between strikes, threats of strikes, injunctions and jurisdictional disputes the leaders of the unions and their members have much to discuss. Because of this pressure of what might be termed personal business, what must seem to many the most significant labor development of recent years has come to pass with scar publicity and scantier appreciation of what it means. These are busy days in the labor world. Between strikes, threats of strikes, injunctions and jurisdictional disputes the leaders of the unions and their members have much to discuss. Because of this pressure of what might be termed personal business, what must seem to many the most significant labor development of recent years has come to pass with scant publicity and scant appreciation of what it means. Refer to the remarkable change of attitude in the part of the Negro community toward the trade unions, immediately due to the refusal of the Pullman company to recognize the right of its porters to join an organization of their own choosing and be represented by agents of the own choice in wage negotiations with the company. URGES SEVERE TREATMENT TO UNTRUE WIVES Change Is Evident The change was evidenced most convincingly in the recent meeting of a most representative group of African Union league in Harlem, though the change is by no means a local phenomenon. As was to be expected, the meeting was attended by a large number of the porters. That was important. More important, however, was who did it and how they did it. We know these men and women, learners of their race in fact as well as in name, proceeded to cast race prejudice to one side, to ignore possible personal consequences, and to Negro is an integral part of our industrial system as well as the responsibility of the 2 per cent of the Negro population that make up the (Continued on Page 2) labor world.

Y., Dec. 16.—The fearlessness of James Allen, 26, 811 Bergan St., a watchman in the Messecroer theater, Manhattan Ave., possibly saved the management of the place $3,500 which was stowed away in a safe. Early Sunday morning, five men entered the place, overpowered him, and with the aid of a friend tried to make him open the safe. When told he did not know the combination, they slugged him, bound and gagged him, pushed him for an hour trying to open the safe. After taking $33 from a cash drawer, Allen heard him say that they would go and get some "juice" to force the safe. After their departure, Allen rolled down 22 steps to the first floor, worked himself over to the window, and butted his head through the plate glass to attract the attention of the head, about the head, but he declared that was nothing, as long as he saved his employer's money.

Dec. 16.-Judging from the various statements made by the senate and the 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution reported as coming from leading members of the senate and the House, the disfranchisement of the Race is almost certain to come up during the next session. Declarating that honest government does not exist in the United States, Representative Tinkham (Republican, New Jersey) said of a resolution aimed at the disregard of the two amendments which Mr. Tinkham is perhaps more outspoken about the methods used by the southern states to prevent the race. He goes further at least than Senator Edge, New Jersey, and certainly by far more than the compromising measure taken by Senator William Borah. In his resolution, Representative Tinkham "Section 2 of article 1 of the Constitution provides that a census shall be taken every ten years and that the census shall be taken by the lower house of congress shall follow. No reapportionment of the house of representatives has occurred since 1970." "The Republican leaders of the house of representatives joining with the secretary of state slaves of the South are responsible. "Whoever states the North and West, whose population during the last 18 years has vastly increased, are now not lawfully, fairly and properly represented in the House of representatives is not organized honestly and constitutionally and does not alter the American sentiments. Section 2 of article 1 of the Constitution is wholly nullified. "The 14th amendment of the Constitution, adopted immediately after the adoption of the 13th amendment, does not alter the American sentiments, and provides that congress shall reduce the number of representatives with the disfranchisement which may exist in that state. "This amendment recognized the right of all American citizens to own election laws so long as they were in conformity with the Constitution, and any disfranchisement of the Negro, the reduction of representation." W. Virginia Slayer Gets Sentence of 12 Years Charlestown, W. Va., Dec. 16.—In tense interest was aroused in court here last week when Attorney T. G. Nutter of this city and his brother, J. H. Nutter of Atlantic City, N. J., appeared as counsel for Lonnie Adams charged with the murder of William Wright last August. The courthouse was packed with spectators of both races. At the opening of the case the state told the court that the killing was the most brutal and colombian-blooded in the history of Kanawh county. After a dispute over 75 cents lost by Wright in a card game, Adams went to his home, obtained a pistol and shot Wright to death without warning, they claimed. The defense opened their case by filing a plea in abatement, charging that citizens had been excluded from the grand jury list by the jury commissioners because of their race. The prosecution offered the defense a compromise of 12 years, which was refused until the state presented 15 cases. The sentence of 12 years came as a surprise to many, who expected a first degree murder verdict.

St.Joseph's G.F.P. --- --- Labor's Plans and Problems (Continued from Page 1) professional and business groups to the less fortunate $9 per cent who do not have the necessary skills. To get the significance of this, one must recall three things—one, that the well-educated Negro has been and has considered himself a person apart from the mass of white laborers; two, that the well-educated Negro has been inclined to let the laborer-work out his problems unadvised; and third, that the Negro is not inclined to groove, indeed the professional element, and particularly the clergy, was cold to, if not openly opposed to, the uneducated Negro. For this condition, the whites have been more to blame than the blacks. For that reason, the labor blinked at the color line. In that year, over the bitter opposition of a few, the federation decided to send members of crafts the international unions of which drew the color line. And that the Negro was becoming a real factor in mills and mines and factory. In response of the Negro to this action by the federation was not immediate. Indeed, the Negro was suspicious of it as he was resentful of the opportunity to work was when he was needed as a strike breaker, his occupation using ceasing when the Negro was gone. More recently, however, he has been coming into the unions. Has Been Getting Recognition been cutting recognition. And in the absence of some unexpected ways. For example, the white majority of a Negro business agent and a Negro business agent and point with pride to the fact that he is efficient. Even in the hitherto almost unrecognized Negro business agent the Negro is becoming a real factor. Generally speaking, however, the old spirit of aloofness has persisted. The change was so slow as to be almost imperceptible. The tendency to change, as did most men whose business it is to know what is doing in the industrial world, but I was not prepared to guard in the recent Harlem meeting. It was small; there were perhaps 100 men whose annual volume of business many a prosperous white broker and representatives of the most powerful fraternal organization. Historically and essentially it was a high grade gathering with the politician and others who have exploited the Negro conspicuous by their absence. With a single voice in opposition to the evidence squareup on record, Negroes take work as strike breakers, against "government by injunction" and against the association of Street and Electric Railway Employees in its fight with the railway. In a full route with the American Federation of Labor, they meeting, such action by such a meeting, would have been impossible two years ago. It would, in fact, be impossible to have given most of the evidence in that meeting into a labor conference two years ago. A private canteen, which have shown the great majority eminence in opposing any tie up with the labor, recognition of the fact that the Negro is part and parcel of the labor movement could not be imminent. Defender Is Mentioned More important than anything else, however, is the accumulation of proof that the action of the Harlem meet local feeling. From other center, Washington, Chicago, Boston and Kansas City, to mention a few, some evidence of the changing from Persecution to position taken by the Chicago Defender, perhaps the most important Negro publication, America, with publication 250,000 copies, very far back that this powerful publication was the most neutral in labor matters. Some would go further and assume that the Negro is numerously for the Negro taking his place and assuming his full responsibilities in the labor movement. rating Jnw strengthen thousands of F.P. has been for over 50 that time thou- have testified invigorating effects.

GFP GFP GFP such as that recently held in Harlem might be called a national conference board to handle and direct the new Negro business. The immediate success of such a conference will be in the words of the Harlem conference, to "mobilize public opinion," to "influence the public power and finance him in any way that may have with the Pullman company," this mobilizing of Negro public opinion is, in my judgment, of more importance than the members of trade unions than to the Negro important though it be to him. It will, for example, help the United Mine Workers and Southwest and thus choose off the supply of Negro labor for non-organizing of the transportation and culinary trades. It will help in building coming more and more of a factor. The change has been long and earnestly desired by such men as the late Dr. William H. McCormick, American Federation of Labor, and his associates. Mr. Green and his New York representative, Hugh McCormick, have every sympathetic aid and assistance; they have collaborated with A. Phillip Randolph, Roy Lancaster and others; or those who have borne most of the real burdens. The real promoters, however have been Fulman officials, and they have opened to open shops, have opposed the organizing of the poorly paid porters. I may be wrong, but it is my judgment that recent Harlem conference made industrial and social history. Lunatic Sentenced to Richmond, Va., Dec. 16—Shirley Winnegan was found guilty of criminal assault and murder in connection with the near Smithfield last October, by a jury here last week. He was sentenced to die Jan. 28, 1953. This attendant was a former Smithfield officer and a defendant as contrary to law and evidence.

DOCTOR LAUDS NURSES A noted physician in giving advice to a young woman contemplating entering the field of nursing said: "Nursing is not a profession at all. It is a calling, an occupation, an art.

DECEMBER 17. 1927 HEROIC ACTS CROWN BAKER WITH PRAISE Rises From Ranks to Office of Mayor (Photo on Picture Page) Denver, Colo. Dec. 16—When Killing coined the phrase, "He has lived more stories than I can invent," the author not the hero of this tale, but the doughy "Fighting Hob" Evans, a captain extraordinary of a scant generation, told with talk with U. H. Haker, who for 33 years has been identified with the Rocky Mountain metropolis "nineest," has had more than his share of thrilling adventures and hair bread escapes, which call to mind the Frank Carter episodes of saluted memory. In 1895 Officer Baker joined the police force, then administered by Gov. William H. Bangers are today and continuously since that time he has shared the experiences and dangers incident to the growth of Colorado from a plains state to a mountainous one of the leading states in the union. He has watched Denver grow from a mining and trading town of frontier fortitude, vital, staid, refined; the "second capital" of the country, so called and merited because it houses more governmental agencies and departments in the entire country, except Washington. First Traffic Head Officer Baker enjoys the unique distinction of heading the first traffic department of the West and with the growth of the automobile industry, he is one of the auto theft department of the city. In this capacity he was signally successful and during his tenure of this office made many arrests and thousands of dollars. Single handed he captured Marion Bush, who headed a gang of thieves who stole cars in Denver and dismantled them in the city. Those whose genius seemed to run along the line of organization among boys of high school age, from whom he purchased stolen machines. Both men were given long terms in the state police and were sent to the tie with a soldier from Fort Logan, Llewellyn by name, who had previously killed two brother patrolmen and who later escaped, is still being扫 among the officers of the department. Among other notable arrests which the veteran officer has to his credit are the noted Gleason, highway robber, who shot Zlets, a merchant, in 1909, and the noted Gar Hillen, who killed a railroad conductor, who later paid the penalty of hanging for his crime. Headquarters men still talk of the Lincoln park gang, the terror of the department, which he succeeded in completely defeating in 1899, when he was assigned to a very difficult section of the city. Wounded Once During his service Office Baker has been wounded only once, when the bullet of a chicken thief's rifle struck him in the leg, severing one of the large arteries and disabling him for several weeks. In spite of many harrowing experiences, he is positive and almost youthful in appearance. He is regarded as one of the most expert revolver shots among the elite, and thus than that for absolute bravery, his chief claim to fame at the present time is the ability to pilot his car or passenger over the precipitous, narrow and oftimes dangerous roads which traverse Colorado's magnificent sweep of mountain ranges. The best drivers in the city and often sits at the wheel when emergency or pleasure summons him, his fellow officers or visitors in the nearby highlands. Officer Baker is now wearing detective badge No. 8, but his patrol badge, which he has received from the mayor's office as detective, is No. 2, showing that for seniority he stands second only to his namesake, Carl Baker, who precedes him in the police department. He is married, has a wife and two children, owns a beautiful home at 2720 E. Sixth Ave. Denver; is active socially and in church circles; is a member of the Zion Baptist church, of which Rev. G. L. Prince is pastor, and is also president of the board of trustees. He was chairman of the international Baptist convention and is popular with all classes. Teacher Makes Guide Posts for College Men A well-known professor in a theological school recently issued these printed guideposts to college men: "Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole man." He instructed his study—and not them for study." "Have regular hours for rest and play—and use them for rest and play." "Stay off the streets of the nearby town except when there for a definite purpose. The 'innocent bystander' proceeds an 'instantate' without innocence." "Abhor the slightest appearance of hazing. It is meant in fun. It is executed in cowardice. Striking off when you know he not present it. Shame on the hazer. Don't be yellow." "Tote fair with the home folk. Match their sacrifice with your diligence. That a gritious privilege to be in college! Thousands would give half of life for your chance. Your chance! Use it, my boy, use it!"

As he was walking up Main St. he sighted a deer, apparently standing behind a clump of bushes. Taking careful aim, he fired. He shouted with glee as he figured his first shot had "brought down" the deer. The gun brought members running from the Orange Elks club, where they kept on the lawn of the place a stuffed elk in a glass case.

Knox Institute Appeals for Emergency Fund Athens, Ga., Dec. 16.—A nationwide appeal was made last week by Knox institute through B. L.

Jackson, Jr. of the institute, and friends, who cited the turning over of the school's sections were accepted as students without conditions in the A-1 colleges, whereas the graduates of the local schools were offered in college.

Jarrett, one of the porters, to the latter, assisting to Ashley L. Totten, assistant general organizer. Special affidavits attested before a notary public show that they were told by Jarrett and others on his self appointed committee that the Pullman company required them to pay more wages and better working conditions which would have the appearance that the porters themselves were asking for it, but that when they were forced to sign, they were not permitted to read or digest its contents. The document has found out that the said document is not a petition for more wages but is a resolution intended to destroy the organization. Jarrett Resolution. The Jarrett resolution is as follows: "He it resolved, that we porters assembled, do hereby condemn the brotherhood and pledge ourselves to co-operate with the pullman, the friendliness and the trustworthiness, friendliness and esteem between the Pullman company and the porters shall always exist." "He it further resolved, that the porters of the Kansas City district realize that the propaganda Board putting out is harmful, both nationally as well as locally, and that we shall neither morally nor financially support an organization of that kind." "He it further resolved, that the committee be empowered to use its powers to end that the harmonious relations that exist between the Kansas City porters and our district superintendent be continued, and that by so doing a better understanding of the men for the plan (meaning the company union) and the company may be effected to the end that bettenshalls shall be gained by all concerned. "Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be placed on our superintendent's desk; also that a copy be sent to the management of the Pullman company. We, the porters of the Kansas City City, also signatures appear below, fully subscribe to the phone resolutions." Indignation High In addition to this, the brotherhood men complain that the said Jarrrett made the charge that the leaders of the organization had misappropriated the funds, and that he is also engaged in other schemes to injure the work of the organization. None of the legitimate officials accuse responsibility for the bogus petition or the resolution and indignation is high among the men as a result of these bold practices committed by one of their own Race. Investigations made by members of our police force into the claim that the Pullman has a postage picket on the door to correspond to check of porters visiting the brotherhood office has proved to be untrue.

MARY There are vapour theories about the origin of the holiday celebration and the purpose for which it was inaugurated, but there is little in it in opinion as to why it is presented at the present time. Everybody is wary of Christmas with joy that affords that are anticipated at that time. And though the kiddies are most important, many grown pre-teenagers are not. The trend away from the usual is in full swing, and now the shopper is making a mark with his flatteries his good taste instead of the usual high-waisted ones. The loss of stow-aways from last Christmas, where are the guest towels from cousin Son and the string of beads from cousin Sue, and the string of beads from with anything and were put away in order to be passed along to other relatives, even the unimmittive people must do originality and find something new. The much-given bottle of perfume may be the usual drug for a variety, a thyme may be found nested on a cushion, a sparkling forth like a rare jewel. Even so, the shell at least like the bottle; betties are so decorative nowadays. But for somatic, there is a perfume just right with perfume, so with countless other objects their dress is becoming varied and with gift who would like a show-born girl with these shoes or chapstick? But could one of those ever table that the enclosed luster-effect amber shoe born linger or the gossip of The small gift shops that are becoming more and more popular are quite a help to the shopper. Here one finds a select line of novelties, away from the old and old of a department store, where a sympathetic salespeople is helpful in their choice and selection. Especially for men, who are usually with much spirit and few ideas for gifts, are these shops a godsend. And so it goes. Christmas shopping is always little to split of previous yows for legally, and before the well-that will do attitude is assumed. But there are still 15 days before Christmas, three of which are ample to cover the longest list after due thought and deliberation has previously been given each one on it. What is your mother found to desire that the has been a cheered-up year with other hobby or your sister's pet weakness?

She is the kind I am justified in my fight for freedom and happiness with the one I love?-Lone sorrow too! Dear Princess: I am asking you for your advice about myself and husband. I met my husband seven years ago, married him two years ago. We got along fine before we married, but since then we have not. He will not work and I work all of the time. He tries to act jealous of me, but he is not. He runs with women, and after I found it out I started with men. I left him last year and went to another town. I went back to him and stayed over a year, when left again. I am away now, so please give me some advice. I am 22 years old. My husband has always been a mother's boy and she gets him all the time and buys him anything he wants. She treats me nice, but his family did not want him to marry me and I do not think they like me. Must I get a divorce? I love another boy also. I think I love him more than my husband.—Lucille-Ferdinand. Taking into consideration that there are only heard one, and that is yours, I can only talk from your angle as can you about a wife being the hub in the wheel of a car, and that you are disheartened in remembrance as long as you can and then quit for good, or in a capable, or he or she should not expect you to be in an excuse, as all are imperfect, men. Men or women with children's minds are completely excluded from your presence there in an excuse, as all are imperfect, able. If you feel that you have found someone to help you to your friends, they will be the first and the last to condemn you, and not to help your friends, you fight for freedom and happiness. It is no uncommon occurrence for couples to be model sweethearts, but, as they are the most important, they are the most popular fascination about courting that in most cases takes the count after a male and female decide to cast their gown and the other of them, they are the most important to start with; then again, after close contact one becomes impossible in some way, and this other one grows too much. For many of the most common harmonious that the must be an existing condition that does not grow monotonous. Anything that is tireless or uninteresting gets to be a question whether the man or her object. If husband cannot keep his real value alive in his wife's mind she will cease to want him—same with a wife. It is not possible to be a woman with a wife. It is not possible to be a certain man or woman finds some one else more inviting than the one they are bound to. The one whom he or she is should be a woman who does not know how much he will show us not keep alive to convention? Styles change, and human nature does too. Your husband, from what I can clean from your letter, is pampered after the time he has to do it and his wife will have to if she keeps him. It is no pleasant job, but that is his weakness. His feligned jealousy is in the heart of you, and you are so well to be good. It is so willing to prove his right. It is your husband by working and supporting you—getting other women alone and behaving himself generally. It is always you all like him—he can't be too happy in choosing some one else. Dear Princess: I am a constant reader of your column, so now I come for help I am a woman, 31, I have been married to a woman, I have been married to a clean life and do not desire to change. I have three children and a real good husband, but he will tell all of his life. I am a son, so I am a female and neighbors. They come to me and tell me all he says. He does not see to have mother with and cannot keep them. When I go to the town, I am a man and tells all of his family affairs. It is time to make some change. Whatever you say will do—Worried and Tired. I am a man, I am a woman, I am a womankind that makes them talk to much. It may be true, but I have seen and heard of some men who must have been on our own. When I went wrong with the pattern. When I am, I am a gifted with "lab" he certainly does the job well, and nothing is more than a man, but he does not, and only human to exchange certain confidence, men and women alike, but for either sex to blab all of their most intolerable things. I am a man who has a good time with them, and can be entured. His friends and neighbors are not sincere in listening to his woes. They simply love to hear. If I am a man, I am a man, so I am a woman. If it meant money they would not be so willing to lend an ear. If he cannots keep his mouth shut now he will be so good to his類, and I am a man, I am a man, I know the old saying about "old folks" foods and children. Whenever the real need of a change is realized, why wait Dear Princess: This is my trouble: I have been married seven years. My wife and I are parted now, worked and lived. After hearing all kinds of bad rumors about her, I finally left her. We parted bitter. She legged me to take her back, so she. She said she would do better, but she was not ready. She step-mother and decided not to take divorce. Many of my friends say I should instead of marrying the girl whom I love. Dear Princess: I am a young lady 18 years old. I am a teacher, being a talented musician. My teacher, being a talented musician, with them. I would like to correspond with an intelligent young man from 20 to 30 years old. Youth and Intelligence should realign. I have the young lady's name and address. Dr. Lillian S. Dove Says一 Charlotte, N. C., Dec. 16—Deaver B.

Woods Baby Christened MARRIED FREE! "100 WAYS TO GET RICH" ..... The Defender's MOVIE and STAGE DEPARTMENT PART I—PAGE 5 COAST DOPE By BUDDY BROWN Dear Dave: I am constrained to write this week about our yesterday and draw a few comparisons relative to our present conditions. Don't it make you sick to hear a rang of old timers sit around and tell you how great they used to be? Especially if they are now on the small time and just barely living? Quoting the two jacks of our people about too many of our people are looking backward, too many of us are so blinded by the glory that was our yesterday to carry on and see the light of our tomorrow and strive to attain a place in the sun, so that our names may go down in the theatrical history and live as an, example to those who follow in our footsteps when mother earth has claimed us. Experience creates greater abilities, should give us the ability to at least know when we are boring others. Still some of us will embrace a subject, propound our own theories and carry on a long winded discourse about nothing at all, and nine times out of ten wrong, to the amusement and contempt of those of the opposite race. We are bound to respect and admire the achievements of adults who have come together and made the road a little less hard to travel. We find pleasure in remembering their accomplishments and profiting by their experiences. We are not blind to the many hardships they were forced to endure, the rough road they had to travel, nor the many obstacles they had to overcome, but we do say that this is a happy bringing up the dead past. We all know there is but one remedy for these conditions, and but that remedy is Gone are the days of Old Black Joe and Uncle Tom. Still some of our own Race performers seem to be trying to revive them. They can't walk up and talk to a white man without being in any way in touch in every gesture that the inferiority complex is very highly developed in them. Which does not give the Oaf a very high opinion of us as a group. No wonder we have such a hard road to travel. It is our own fault. Then again, we talk too much. We are not the same as some of our Race actors converse with a group of whites. The moment he starts talking he tells his business, personal and professional affair, as well as everyone else's business, all without being saked to do so. Friends, it's all wrong. Being a good listener is a wonderful gift you can talk to he sure you have something to say Study, work, try to improve yourself. If you can't find anything for your hands to do, then attend to the cultivation of your mind. It is our only salvation. Then we can discuss things intelligently and force respect from those who now scoff as a waste of time. We can hold himself up as a model of perfection. Simply calling attention to things we sometimes overlook. So I reiterate, never mind yesterday: look forward to our tomorrow. Vancouver gave Johnson and Brown, meaning Duke and Buddy, a wonderful week. We cannot complain. Went over big amd small business meetings and a wonderful staff and as well as congenial house staff and performers. Bojangles Bill Robinson, the world's greatest single, continues to wreck the show at the Orpheum, just next door to us. We all know it is a habit with Bo to stop shows. Nut sed! Bill Brown with the happy recipients of invitations to an impromptu party given by Mrs. B. B. McNabb of Drake St. on Nov. 29. The evening was pleasantly spent in music and cards. Bo plays a mean game of 500 even if his wife, Mrs. Bo, did beat him a minute, or that anything that is worth doing is worth doing well. After the 500 game was over Hill Robinson, Mr. Mickins, Mr. Paxton and Grand Duke De Johnson played hearts with the queen of apades counting 13. Well, to make a long story short, Duke is a groggy from one of the alleys in town by the others. Glad I wasn't in the game. A wonderful time was had by all. Chiton and Thomas are creating a sensation at the Orpheum in Vancouver this week with their great dancing act. Mrs. Elsa McAdow, pianist, wife of one of Vancouver's business owners John McAdow, has just returned from Princeton. B. C., where she has been playing a special engagement for the past four months. We are moving on to Victoria. B. C. for week of Dec. 12, after which we leave Canada for home. Helena Justo, Los Angeles and start north Dec. 17 headed for Canada and the East. They will more than make good on any bill. We will have some important news for you early in January. We play dates all over the Capitol circuit of Canada, Marina and Marie Claire. Get ready to the Santa Claus' cause if it won't be long now. Duke sends regards to all. Wishing success to all, I remain yours sincerely. PREFERS BLOND CIGARS Hollywood, Cal.—"Sam Taylor and his cigar." The famous motion picture director who is now directing John Barrymore in "Tempest," is seldom seen without a perfecto in his mouth. Sometimes it isn't lit, but its usually there: morning, noon and night. He smokes a brand mild brand and adds always has a box hands. On the days that the biggest scenes are being made the clears disappear from the box more rapidly. Although still a young man, Taylor is one of Hollywood's veteran megaphone wielders, and one of the most versatile. For years he directed Harold Lloyd, then switched to his own. One of his recent successes is Mary Pickford's new United Artist picture, "My Best Girl," which will be generally released in 1928. The direction of "Tempest" gives him one of the most important assignments in United Artist history, for the picture story, cost and magnitude—but is also one of the film corporation's outstanding specials for release next year.

THE MUSICAL BUNCH BY DAVE PEYTON Orchestral Discipline for Louisville, Ky., to fill a concert engagement. The concert was held at the Brown theater Dec. 4 and the boys registered a terrific hit. All of the Louisville dailies were loud in praise of the exponents of our own spiritual music. Shreveport's Orchestra At the star theater, Shreveport, La., is one of the finest theater orchestras on the T. O. B. A. circuit, so says W. R. Arnold, who had the pleasure of hearing them play a few weeks ago. The orchestra is under the direction of William Nolan, a musician, often arguing that he is famously perfected as the leader. The main object of Mr. Nolan is to see that the patrons get the best of service that is possible from his orchestra. Mr. Arnold speaks highly of their musicianship and pit department. Good luck, boys, from the Every now and then this writer hears from authoritative sources of some great musical genius. As I have stated so far, he has taught the small town turn out the real talent. One reason is that there is nothing in a small town to detract one's attention from study. In the large metropolitan area, the time. One cannot stay put long enough to properly study. Portsmouth, Va., has turned out Graham Jackson, a skilled musician, who is making some real difference in Atlanta, Ga. He is also the feature organist in the $11 theater, one of the largest in Atlanta. He is also the conductor of the Elks band and under the two years of his tutorship have molded itself on a organization. Graham Jackson is idolized by the whites of Atlanta, they go down to the 81st Theater to hear him play the pipe organ, even the white press has given him columns, lauding it. But the audience there are none of their race to compare with Graham Jackson. Isn't that fine? This writer learns that Mr. Jackson has no bad habits that many of our star players are endowed with, he is a perfect gentleman and scholar, a town to town, a man of their son, who has achieved fame as a musician and theorist. Willard Hamby, the pianist, is permanently located in Chicago. Mr. Hamby is an accomplished musician and pianist, and Verona Biggs and his orchestra is the big hit in the Owl theater, Chicago. In the combination are five musicians, all red hot. Clarence Stuart and his orchestra sit in the Savannah ballroom, Chicago, has hit with the dancers. They all like Black and his boys. Chas Elgar and his crew occupy the opposite stand in the ballroom and they, Robert W. White, the cornetist, ran into Chicago for a few days this week from Milwaukee, Wisc., where he is playing at a prominent dance hall.

Jackson, Jackson, popular drummer and formerly a member of Jimmy Wade's orchestra, has recently purchased a new bungalow home, Edwin says that he has followed the advice given in this column, saved his money and realizes the benefit with Hugh Swift's orchestra at the Southmoor hotel, Chicago. Hack Back, the uke king, wants to hear from Mr. Wilson of the Grant and Wilson show. He is now with Dusty Fletcher's Harlem Strutters show. James Davis (Stomp King), is one of the busiest musicians in Chicago. Stomp is a go-getter and will lead 'em all day. Mark my word. The Palmetto orchestra, a small musical unit, is doing service with the band. They are playing dates through Ohio. Spencer and his Dixie Bike, a vaudeville band, will open this week at Bell's playhouse, Madisonville, Ky. Ernest Spencer is the leader. Berringer's Black Cat singing will be glad to hear from his friends week of Dec. 5, at the Hippo theater, Danville, Ky. John H. Wickliffe, the well known jazz band leader, is busy working in and around Chicago with his dance unit. Ralph Brown, the leader of Dave Peyton's Club Bagdad orchestra of 10 players.

Clarence Jones and his orchestra, consisting of 10 musicians, are doing the Metropolitan theater, Chicago. Lucky Sid Partlow, the drummer, says "Hello" to the bunch and would (Continued on Page 7) Where to Buy OKeh Race Records Many of our leaders, whom I especially blame for bad disciplinary conditions in the orchestra, should wake up to the fact that such conditions impair the progression of an organization. Aside from the artistic perfection of the orchestra, a great preall. I don't blame the mischievous musicians. It is that I am a leader, who is wholly responsible for decorum. ```markdown ``` We must wake up along this line. Dave Pardon says, "I wish to this element of musicians. If you continue to be rostautsands your service will not be wanted, no matter how clever you are on your instrument, the public pays hard-crowned money to the musicians during hall and other places of amusement and they should be respected by the musicians giving them business-like service. Attributors should get rid of them less than least one no command over their orchestra." Flirting A bad habit of many musicians is the practice of flirting with the ladies who get near the orchestra pit. This writer has tendered many two-week notices to players during his 15 years as a conductor for this bad practice. There are many happenings that can arise from this fiery taken up by the conductor, who thinks when a lady smiles at them they are in love with them. Many people admire the artistic abilities of players and feel kindly toward them for the attainment and they may give you a pleasant smile, which does mean they are in love with you. In the orchestral pit dignity should reign. Musicians should sing as the doctor, feel just as the doctor, the lawyer, the minister and other artists and professionals feel when going to work. Make it a business. Gossip Another thing that should not be tolerated by the leader is unnecessary gossiping in the pit between members of the orchestra. This practice is often encouraged by the ensemble. While one section of the orchestra is playing or maybe during a solo, utter quietness should prevail in the pit. Every player should be at attention with eyes fixed on the conductor and instruments ready for attention. The player should be very improper occurrence in one of the large movie houses in Chicago. The leader himself was playing and for no reason at all turned his back to the audience and started to kid with his mouth around me voiced their disapproval of this uncouth act by this leader. Then, another time. I was sitting in another theater and one of the musicians deliberately got up, left the pit while the ensemble was playing, and had to say something to several of the players, causing them to laugh at the joke told them at the same time they were trying to play the score. Who is to blame? The leader. The Leader We have several five orchestras in the country. Some of them have reached a high goal through hard work and some of them have been able to reach the other side after the wayside and some of them have thrived and are still doing business, getting plenty of work and are ranked in the standard class of orchestras. The later class, from investigation by the orchestra, have had responsible leadership. A leader is the pilot of the orchestral ship. It is up to him or her whether the ship weathers the storm. The players, as a rule, follow the exertion of the orchestra and the tiny of the organization depends upon the leaders' rule. Leaders should be first-class musicians to begin with; then they should be diplomatic in administering the affairs of their orchestra. Each player has his peculiarities. They should be familiar with the rules in order that he may understand the temperaments of each. His is a real job and he must be a diplomat to handle the situation. Leaders should attend strictly to business when in the pit. Out of the pit social relations with your players is all right, except in no other way would he be too familiar with the musicians in or out of the pit. Going to social affairs, talking the topics of the day and other forms of socializing are fine, but going around places of illrepute, hanging around pool halls, drinking excessively should not be indulged in by the leader. At all times, he must be the target against such evils. They will learn to respect him; they will look up to him as an adviser, and when the hour comes when he swings the baton over them they can give better service, for they are aware of the high qualities of manhood their leader is players, be gentlemen, and ladies, practice for perfection and, above all, save your money. Blackman's Versatile Fault, a pepy little musical unit, have just closed their engagement with the Bit o' Dixie company and will open this week with the Smashing Through company at Portsmouth, Ohio. The boys have a fine reputation and the personnel of their unit are: Jackson, violin; Wier, piano and trombone, and Charles Williams, drums. Johnson and Gordon Back J. Rosendam Johnson and Taylor Gordon, the artistic spiritual entertainers, have returned to the States from abroad. Upon arriving in New York last week they immediately left Shravenport's Orchestra Graham Jackson NOTES VIE and STA because he thought the critic might be embarrassed by showing himself to be the friend of a gentleman and an artist who happened to be born a Negro. Our sable fellow citizens are likely to make excellent use of their new opportunities in the theater. They have the true mimetic sense. Initiation comes to them naturally. They have a rich and distinctive humor. Vibrant voices voices attuned for tragedy, for stirring emotion, are more common among them than among Caucasians. Rhythym is born in them. I never saw a group of Negro steppers who didn't get a distinctive joyous buoyancy into their dancing. That paraphrase is not true, because it—cannot be duplicated by whites. Acting of any sort requires a certain emotional richness, a quick sensitivity to impressions. I imagine that people with these qualities are more numerous among Negroes than white people. It would be pleasant sometime to see an English classic—say Shakespeare's "Hamlet"—performed by a cast of trained Negro actors. Certainly such a performance would be more memorable than an amputation of Shakespeare's mouth. You have ever seen and Shakespeare is nothing if not musical. JOHNNY J. AND SUSIE Johnny J. Stephens and Susie are doing the week of the 12th at Beaver Falls. For the first half and last, half will find them at Midlethon, Ohio. They are with Mack's Merry Makers gang.

MCDERMOTT They are triumphant times for the Norro in our theaters. Extreme brunet was never before so fashionable back of the footlights.

HOW FILM ACTORS EARNED FIRST SALARY INCREASE The development of the $5 actor into the $10 class came about not as an economic appraisal of his valuation, but as a gesture whose characteristic was despair. It started about 14 years ago when D. W. Griffith was making "The Wedding," a two-reeler dealing with the cast were Owen Moore, Arthur the delicate subject of marriage. In Johnson and Mack Sennett. The boys, in borrowed frock coat models, the festive table, were supposed to strike the characteristic attitudes of well bred clubmen toasting the forthcoming marriage of one of their members. None of them had ever been a clubman. The poses were, in fairness to the types being portrayed, very, very stiff and awkward. The situation was impaired. "I can see that none of you has ever been a gentleman," said Griffith. "Your acting is rotten. We can't go on this way." Three actors drained their champagne filled gobbles with striking faces. "What do you expect for $5 a day, Union League members?" Griffith studied the matter. "Do you think you could act at $10?" he asked. Three heads nodded. "Then go to the cigar store around the corner and drink in the Hoffman house cigarette poster." (In those days Hort --- SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1927 ENT man House cigarettes were the kind you'd walk a mile for.) The trio studied, returned to the studio and when Griffith arrived on the scene struck graceful poses, three golds aloft. Lifting his glass higher still, Sennett started the toast that will go down in history: "Biograph, Biograph, rah! rah! rah! "Ten dollars, ten dollars, hah! hah! hah!" They got their money. History was made and the first $10 picture actor was a fact. How different it is today, when five players in Griffith's latest United Artists picture, "Drums of Love," with Mary Philibin, Lilong Barrymore, Don Alvarado, Tully Marshall and William Austin, carn as much money, in a day as 200 of the leading stars in the old Biograph days. CLEVER PHIL Clever little Phil Dorsey, former press representative at the Pekin theater, Montgomery, Ala. is now in Mobile, where he is wintering and writing insurance for a well known Bauer company. He sends his best to a call in and out of the profession so he can locate yours truly at 564 Chestnut St. Mobile, Ala., where he is running from the snow balls. WILEY AND WILEY The popular team of Wiley and Wiley will fill a one-day engagement at the Owl theater, Chicago, Sunday, Dec. 15. They sinot holiday greetings to the show gang. The Defender's MOVIE and STAGE DEPARTMENT SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1927 LINWOOD'S LETTER New York City—Friend Dave: The gang is now in the big city, and if you intend to come into New York with a show, make sure you have one, because if you haven't one you will certainly read about it in the papers. At 4 a. m. Monday morning, when we walked into the Broad St. sta- tion, Philadelphia, Pa., the first thing to be seen over gate No. 4, was a sign, "Special train for Whitman Fisher's Co." A special train was arrived by the building in New Philadelphia to New York. There were only three cars, two baggage and one coach. The trip was made in two hours. In Dear Walker's show opened and closed at the Lincoln theater here on Monday, Dec. 5. It seems as if Drake forgot to read a previous contract made by the manager or drakeyette and Drake. They were allowed to attend the Monday night. Tuesday the managers were looking for some good show to take the place of Mr. Drake's company, but to date, Wednesday. When you reach New York don't think you are at the end of the world, because you have had a break. Do you think you worked with before you reached New York and that they might have helped you to get out of New York before you are here? Theo. Carpenter, the one-armed cornetist, is in New York preparing to make a trip to Paris, France. Good luck there. Theo. Hill, former member of the Whitman Sister's orchestra, is also in New York working at the Veneer House. In engagement there will take him to the Smalls' Sugar Canoe Palace. There are hundreds of performers here so what they are doing. But all the writer has seen seem to be living all right. But if the Whitman Sisters are the writer would be gone the next day. If you put a bad apple in a barrel of apples and let it stay, very soon you would have a barrel of bad "rotten" apples. When you are in a conversation, try to be right. Don't say something self-sufficient as well as you self. Remember that it will hold your speech. The only loud speaker that has been successful is attached to the radio. And if you just must talk to someone, you can railroad station calling train time, in a theater selling cake or a circus or carnival and you will have a chance to use your loud voice. You can be to get rid of the bullies, because a show with a reputation cannot afford to carry such people. fighters are making thousands of fighters "in the ring," and you too, can make thousands fighting "in the ring." The writers advice to those who go from one can to another to look for a fight, to be a manager and a trainer and let the world know that you are a prize fighter and you will have enough money. Butchers are needed only in a butcher shop, where they will find as much meat to cut as they can cut. So think of this when you feel you want to use your knife or razor. Sharp shooters gain their reputation on the battlefields. If you are anxious to use a revolver, enlist in U. S. army, Uncle Sank you need. The "Happy Pals," an orchestra from Richmond, Va., that were playing in the back in Richmond. Didn't get a chance to hear these boys because they left two days before the writer reached New York. They and their gang opened at the Lafayette, Monday, Dec. 5, and played to a packed house throughout the day. Sterling Payne, playing an axephone and so many instruments coming into New York, he held up the subway 30 minutes getting them on. The gang can be paged at the Opus 12, Richmond, N.

Why? Because they have ceased sufficient patronage to make the investment profitable. New Orleans and Baltimore have large Race populations. The white theaters in the city segregate their Race patrons. It would seem then would have made their continuance possible. We who live in cities enforced often are moved to exaggerations of sympathy for those who are less fortunate, but for the greater part it is a waste of sympathy. We who are enforced but it is proven that the great majority of Race people are not only willing to be segregated, but are not helpless humiliated, the New Orleans TIMELY TOPICS What Would You Do?

The only sure remedy is extermination. It is long past the time that the producers of Race shows should cease panning, knocking and underbinding and get together for mutual protection, benefit and advancement. It is well to remember that the wreck of each failure must be cleared away and the producer can succeed without contributing to the success of all other producers. At the present time, the producers are out gyrating puppets, the producers are out pulling strings, the pull the strings. Not only will the performers and producers be benefited by co-operation and mutual understanding but the managers will be able to maintain the organization of producers is that each producer seems to be envious and jealous of the other. If the managers of the band refuse to play the no band. To praise one producer wounds the pride and irritates the coneit of every other producer, and is all other producer in the condition and sons of them preplaying one against the other. If Race show business is to continue, increase in popularity and profit, it will be co-operate as if it were the owners of the theaters to be associated. Our annual visit to the home of the World's Greatest Weekly, The Chicago Times, standing pleasures we enjoy while in Chicago. It is just like meeting a bunch of home folks after a long trip abroad. The university the university the weekend extended. Mr. Abbott, the esteemed founder of the greatest propagandist paper ever printed, is never too busy to peruse the versatile theater; the energetic editor; Mr. Thornton, the efficient proofreader; Mr. McGill, the hustling manager; Mr. McGill, the versatile theater; Mr. McGill, the lights and Shadows, not forgetting Mrs. Speedy, and Rogers, the creator of Rangleton Green. A paper must succeed in brains and talent to put it over. It is impossible to estimate the wonderful work for racial advancement being done by The Chicago Defender. Miss Olivia Wush Banks, who conducts a beautiful art shop at 6510 Debhart Ave. was is welcome caller to the Biennial Art show, duets a school of acting and is active in literary work. At the little art shop it is possible to secure unique pieces in fine painting and handcraft, from a variety of such well known artists as Wm. M.

Lucius Calls and Geraldine Glover, for the Defender, were first the celebrated crite, Spylester Russell, was on hand. Seribes from the Whip and the Dee were there, alarms of meeting them.

Bob is stationed at the door arrayed in a uniform that he has made for Gavry, he could see it, return, and pristine garb. Tom Cross, known to all performers and a million other people, has charge of the hall. Martin Kilen at the front and Jimmy at the back of the Grand and ways contribute to make our stay at this theater a genuine pleasure. Jimmie hack stage at the Grand and Sam Craig at the Lafayette are as indispensable as the stage and seem intelligent workmen. As stage managers, they rank at the very head of the class. We always expect a good orchestra at the Grand and we were not disappointed. Chicago placed its name of approval upon "Desires of 1928."

Mrs. Secreta Sawyer gave us copies of "Mellow Musings" with us, ask for them at the box office and save postage. Others may order theirs from L. B. Whitney, 561 St. Nicholas Ave. in New York city.

The race in both cities segregate their Race patrons. It would seem then that the two races have received the support that THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Florence Mills Memorial To perpetuate the naming of Florence Mills, the late star, an organization known as the Florence Mills Theatre, has been incorporated in New York. The organization is to raise funds for the erection of a permanent monument to the beloved star whose talents and admirers ran into the millions. An autobiographical memoir will be an asset to contemporary cinema because of its usefulness to others than those directly interested, but primarily it is to help our Race theatrical profession by cultivating their talents and by providing a platform for co-operation in advancing artists. They are making a nation-wide drive for a building that will be not only a credit to the theatrical world but also a possessive a living evidence of the progress of a bitterly neglected profession whose time and money have been given to raise money for every concession that the theatre mean better shows. The support of the entire Race is solicited in the welfare of this move to erect this great monument to one of the world's greatest theaters. Shipp, one of the grand deans of show business, is the president of the association, which has headquarters at 200 W. 135th St., New York. It is the home of musicians in every city and hamlet in the country will lend their efforts to realize this great move. Midnight shows and other forms of entertainment can be given to raise funds. The New York dailies were very generous in assisting the promotion of the Florence Mills memorial fund. The following newspapers printed information and performances: Daily Mirror, Morning Tolograph, New York Times, Evening Graphic, Daily News, Evening Sun, Evening Post, Brooklyn Eagle and others. Capacity houses below will interest you. Capacity houses in two Harlem theaters, the Alhambra and the Lafayette, Saturday night brought in more than $5,000 at the benefit performers and funders of the memorial fund. Many of Broadway's brightest stars took part in the two shows. The money of which this sum forms the nucleus of the house to build the Negra actress and members of the profession, Miss Mills, who lived recently, originated the idea and it is being fostered now by her friends as a memorial to her Charles Gilpin, former stars of "Emens," is one of the activities in the plan. Among those who appeared were Ted Lewis and his orchestra, Harry Fox, Jack Osterman, Henry Howard, Eddie Ladd曼, Charles Gilpin, Jack Hickey. More than a score of other actors had places in the bills—New York Times, Dec. 5. The Florence Mills foundation fund which wants to erect a clubhouse for Negro actors as a memorial to Florence Mills, announced yesterday that he met with success. As a result of benefit performances given at midnight Saturday at the Alhambra and Lafayette theaters in Harlem, more than $5,000 was obtained. Both houses added the audiences approved the work historically—Herald-Tribune, Dec. 5. The first two of a series of midnight benefit performances for the Florence Mills memorial fund, which includes the fayette theaters Saturday night, started the fund with $5,000. It was announced yesterday. Both theaters were filled to capacity. The fund will be used to build a home for Negro Mills. The fund was named the Florence Mills memorial, after the famous Negro comedienne, who died recently. The home is expected to cost $50,000 and the funds will be used from the proceeds of midnight performances given in Negro theaters throughout the country for the next three months. —New York Morning World, Dec. 5.

DOG STRAINE SAYS DOG STRAINE SAYS After being silent for the past six weeks and letting the other fellow have his sage I am going to take this opportunity to let you know just how much I am interested in you. There seems to be a lot of talk about my not making good since we have been here, but if any of my friends want to know just what we are really doing out here let them get the answer. I will sure he will tell them just how well pleased everyone is with our efforts since being here. My contract is for six months and the only clause in it is that I give them an option on a longer time. Also that I refrain from signing up with me until I am ready to work at any time I see fit, but have not accepted anything, as I am almost sure my present employers want to see the show over the west coast circuit as the end of my engagement here. I can say the director of the house, Mr. Cranner, is a man that knows what it means to treat you right and know what a contract means to him. I find him a real fellow to deal with. The Tivoli circuit, the big time people in Australia, want the show as soon as I am able to give it to them and 45 people. Hurry P. Muller, the representative for them, is holding contracts for me to sign any time I see fit. I can't name the loud houses and cabbars that want us as a revenue. I have more offers than I can take up space to mention and I think that proves as to whether I am making good or not. We welcome at the station with the brass band and bushes left an everlasting impression on us we can never forget. I can't say we are turning away business or that we find anybody unconscious or play to a full house every night and do a turnaway business on Saturday midnight show and all day Sunday. We also seem to be pleasing the public. Can you ask any more questions for a house that seats 2,500 people. Speaking of the剧院, this is one of the greatest for the Race in the country. It is the last word as far as the back, even to shower laths back stage. Streetly Race employees from manhole and that is not counting my gang. Now for my bunch. We are all Not one, disgusted, agonized. Not one, disgusted, agonized. Sam Russell is the big hit. He was back East and has a host of friends here and people are talking to him. The same jolly good fellow you have always known him to be. He doesn't know anything else. This house was opened for our people, but the witles are crowning them over. We get all the stars from Hollywood, such as Leon Chaney, Gilda Gray, Ben Turpin, Hal Roach and many others. Each one always has from 10 to 15 stars on their party when they come to see us. I am sending you this to give you a line on just what we are doing and you can expect to hear from me every week from now on, as will have charge of the public for me. The gang all send regards to the staff and if you have anything in the way of mail or such you may shoot us and we will more than thank you.

It has been some time since the old Stew pot had time to make its appearance, but here we are. AOLUMBIA oulmba got a chance to play "Shufflin" Sam from Alabam. The Nay brothers were the big noise. The show did a big business there and everyone seemed to enjoy the show, with a chance to meet any of the bunch. The old man is getting along fairly well with his work here. Have a nice little band on the go and the orchestra "won't stop for the lights." We are playing every Saturday night at the Eutail hotel, one of the leading hotels in town.

Members of the orchestra: Cornelius Jenkins, piano; Johnnie Williams, violin; Bob Pendrvis, saxophone; James Smith, saxophone; Johnnie Jones, Sousphone; Earl Davis, trombone; Johnnie Tyson, drums; Bob Wingate, cornet; Mallie Newton, cornet. T.

Tie Pct Wiley .4 0 1.000 Prairie Viev .3 1 1.750 Quinn Quinn .3 2 0.600 Huston .2 3 0.000 Texas .1 3 1.250 Bishop .1 4 1.000 By DEAN MOHR The leaders of the Southern Athletic conference 1927 race made a bad start by choosing the powerful Langston team as a practice and coaching team in their conference race. Langston defeated both Wiley and Prairie in pre-conference games. Sam Huston was to have met the Oklahoma team, but through some miscommunication and agreement. Probably the game with Langston would have aided Sam Huston's green material, which was only remnants of their 1926 undefeated championship team. It would be concealable about the Southern Athletic conference is that the championship shield never remains at any school more than one year and the champions the preceding season. In the next season as in the case of Bishop and Sam Huston. Wiley college, with a football team well drilled in the fundamentals and coached by Texas' greatest coach, without a single defeat and one the The Wild Cats end running attacks could not be stopped by any of the players, but they were the feet interference and team play. A reversal of form from the preceding year, when team play was sacrificed for safety, led to a stunted defensive team, which is shown in the fact that the conference teams made only two points against them. New college, coached by Jim Law, with the greatest man power of any school in Texas, finished second in the race. The Panthers were the first team to punch at times when most needed. They were defeated by Wiley and tied in their last game by Texas. The Panthers were defeated by Ray Sheppard, a former player, rose to its height on Thanksgiving day, when apparently defeated by Sam Huston, they rallied in the second half and went to 14. Sumu Huston college, the champions of 1926, failed to finish in the upper half. They were defeated by self-defense from ten on until the end of the season on the decline. A green team and many injuries to the veteran players had much to blame for the loss of the green and Cream team. Texas college, with a new coach, English, played good football at times, especially against Prairie View, Bishop College and Bishop College failed to get out of the second half for the second season, although they have a new coach, adding the powerful Wiley team to a scorerless tie on Turkey day. With Mumford, formerly of Wilberforce and Illinois, at the helm another year. Bishop should be contender for the national championship honors. The backs of the host were not of the cutler of the previous season, although some of the same men were playing. There was not any outstanding quarterback or backfill in the conference, I shall give a list of the best backs. Of Wiley was one of the best ground gallers in the entire conference. He was a good man on interference and could shirt the ends for substantial gain at the end of the game. Owens of Sam Huston would be an ideal player, as he is a triple threat man. It would be another Grange-Britton combination with Owens in the role of Grange Possey of Bishop, because of his brilliant playing against Hiley, as well as his ability, he was given the third backfield position as running mate to Scott and Owens. To round out this backfield, Marks on the view would be the fourth member. Marks was one of the hardest hitting backs of the season. He was seldom stopped on line plays. Other backs, Reynolds of Wiley, Reynolds of Wiley, Jap Turner of Prairie View and Wilson of Texas. There were three outstanding ends of the game — Livingston of Wiley, Gentry of Paul Quinn and Washington of Bishop. Livingston was the best of the group, because of his all-around ability, and he was able to defend the field to kick, interfere and run with the ball. Gentry is very good on offense, but did not show up on defense as did Livingston and Washington. His first year, Russell of Sam Huston was out to establish a record. In each of the six games played by the Drones, he came through on him to block more punts, two of which resulted in safeties. His ability to break through the opponents' line ranks him as one of the best tackles Kinnon of Wiley, Krivin of Paul Quinn or Calhoun of Wiley, any of the three would made ideal mates for Kusunagi, but guarding guards are Beld of Wiley, who was the class of the conference; Bates of Prairie View and Roberts of Bishop. All three of these men were sterling defensive and offensive players. The position was a toss-up between Briggs of Wiley and Askey of Sam Huston. Both were very accurate passers, but Askey was handicapped by playing on the defense out. All teams were at their best when they played Sam Huston, because they realized the writer was looking for all-conference situations, and the hardships for the school team and to the advantage of the opponents. We all ways put forth our best efforts when Southern Coaches Meet This Friday at Knoxville TWO big surprises were handed the皱皱 public Saturday. The Clark aggregation fought nobly to hold the score. The Alabama State score. The Saturday previous Tuskegee had won its 48th victory by beating Atlanta, 7 to 0. Uber Allen has been a number of stars in the front wall are men good enough for any coach, but in both the backfield just couldn't get away. Perhaps the slippery field had someone to attack. Atlanta played Tuskegee so hard that the Abbott clan was shot plum full of holes on the offense and the host they could do was to win. The Alabama State last Saturday with a 0-10 tie, making four years without a defeat, which is quite a record. Abbott, offering no alibis, really wanna the 50th straight and can blame his not getting it on Atlanta university. Alabama State was foxy for they resorted to kicking on the first and Just an idea of how things went down in Montgomery we will cite the following facts: Truskeegan made it to the first game, one. Tuskeegan gained 230 yards from serriamage, while Alabama State was content with 46. Alabama State played a wonderful defensive game, and the Tuskeegan team in the Atlanta game and Stevenson was handicapped by a twisted leg received in the game with Atlanta. THE Texas conference will meet soon. Matter pertaining to officials, etc., will be straightened out. That conference will vote whether to accept the trophy offered by the championship in winning the championship three times. The Southeastern conference meets in Knoxville this Friday. They, too, will most likely accept the same offer, but the quality of clean sport among our youth. our youth. TEN. southerners make the DEFENDERS all-American. Some object to us saying that and claim all are southerners, but we have no reason to believe so. We said that there won't have to hurt their feelings. Gallion of Blufeld was the West Virginia given a berth on the first eleven. We had planned to select an all-star squad, naming three men for each position. Some of the coaches thought that was fine, but others disagreed. One team had to be a trifle larger than the other, so we had to abide by what the majority said and now we become a member of the annual dirty dozen list. This list is made up of the men who pick all-star teams and by some those who do not get selected on them. --- SOME of Georgia, and Georgia Tech rooters included, might get a fine lesson on sportsmanship and how to act at a football contest if they would attend some of the games at Spiller Stadium. Tuskegee or Atlanta and Clark meet. A more well ordered crowd of partisan rooters could have been found nowhere than at Spiller. A more disorderly crowd could have been found at stadiums. Drinks run, full of Georgia "cawn licker," rowdy, cussing every minute, but the police couldn't see them for they were too busy moving the writer and three others. The Beutenau said the passes "warn't no good" because he said so. We left before the middle of the first quarter. We refused to be "him Crowed" after having been told to run the university. They do some funny things down there—those people with white skins. We couldn't call them white people because they aren't. Maybe one of Clark Howell's editors can define our nationality. HARDLING, Elisabeth and Buchanan at Willeforce deny that they were the victims of the West Virginia game. They claim the meeting was held by students Knoxville, Tenn., Dec. 12.—The annual meeting of the Southeastern Intercollegiate Athletic association will be held at Knoxville college, Dec. 16 and 17, it was announced today by R. S. Darnaby, secretary-treasurer. Representatives from the following institutions will be present at the H. W. Harvey, director of L. R. Harper, acting chairman of the athletic board, Atlanta university; Henderson A. Johnson, director of L. R. Harper, acting chairman of the university; S. R. Taylor, head coach, and C. W. Perry, assistant, Clark university; B. T. Harvey, director of L. R. Harper, acting chairman of the Trohnolheim, president, and G. F. Lewis, assistant coach, State Normal school; C. L. Abbott, director of athletics, Tuskaree institute, and W. H. Kindle, director of physical education, Talladega college. The association will vote on a revised constitution which has been made to meet the enlarged athletic we have a goal to attain as the coveted position on the all-conference or all-American team. I have to football in the Southern Athletic conference is that the season begins too early in the fall. September and October are ideal track, tennis and baseball weather in Texas. Football weather in Texas have in September and October is just arriving when the Thanksgiving game is played in Texas. In one football game the past season one of the players in the Southern Athletic conference was prostrated from the hats. Playing football in Texas in September has about the same e.g. act as wearing a track suit in Duluth on New Year's day. Athletic conference season should start the last of October and end the last of December. Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY who wanted Campbell and others in the game and the team was invited. All three are good players and it is unfortunate that they became mixed up in the whole affair, but it is not unfortunate that they must offer more times for the release change in the coach with incompetency and other things which are unfit to mention here. Of the opinion that if they knew things were going wrong last year in the Howard game and again this year that they should have placed the former and not wetted until Coach Graves had decided to put a certain line-up on the field in the Turkey day game and then in their own line-up, we have no bone to pick with either three of these men, but we know the public believes that some things at an offence力 need straightened out. In the release, these players claim that Tymes blocked one of Harding's kicks which was a try for the extra goal. The other thing is his other try if it had been good would have won the game by one point. All the players played by them were excellent players, all named by Graves, "nope", so they state. If Graves is in the wrong he should be disciplined. If the players are in the wrong they should be disciplined. Certainly no student should be disciplined. The football team Neither should any group, can, fraternity be allowed to run the team nor the school. The time is coming when fraternity members will be barred from athletics at all schools. The showing of athletics to State and other teams are waking college presidents up to this fact. Ft. Valley Hi Is Class of Georgia By DR. F. S. HORNE Fort Valley, Ga., Dec. 13—Coach Bywater's Fort Valley High and Industrial school just closed its season with a smashing victory over Haines Institute of Augusta in the Municipal stadium at Macon, Ga. Season 41 of the College graph after this game rated Fort Valley as the best prep team he had ever seen in action. Of their eight games this season Fort Valley bears only one defeat at the hands of the Booker Washington high of Atlanta by a score of 7 to 6. Fort Valley's defense, the referee's decision on an offside at try for point after touchdown. However, Fort Valley's chain takes precedence over Washington high on three separate counts: Union Baptist institute of Athens later defeated Washington high by a score of 7 to 6. Union Baptist, 12 to 6. Fort Valley trimmed the Walker Baptists of Augusta, 45 to 0. Washington high beat Walker Baptists only 24 to 0. Fort Valley lists victories over all the other outstanding high school teams. Fort Valley wins three of the entire season, rolling up 251 points to opponents' 13. Up to last year Fort Valley went throughout five years without a single defeat. The record of this season was as high as high school champions of Georgia. Fort Valley Record for 1927 Fort Valley 65—Montauca. Fort Valley 20—Hudson high. Fort Valley 10—Hudson high. Fort Valley 27—Albany high. Fort Valley 6—B. Washington. Fort Valley 12—Pittsburgh.

Coach Moore of Knoxville college will be the program for the entertainment of the officials of the visiting institutions. Alpha Quint Beaten by Nashville Kappas Nashville, Teen., Dec. 11.—With "Wee" Eddie Huff, the 200-pound guard, four four-letter man of Wilberforce university, leading the attack on the Alphas. The players plettely annihilated the Alpha Phi Alpha quintet under an avalanche of lightning like passes. The Alphas never had the ghost of a chance and so closely were they guarded that there were only able to score two field goals. The game was fast and clearly fought and Kappa was the victor by the score of 19 to 7. Next week the Alphas scored to Omega Phi Phi, joined by Captain Townes and the hunky "Mule" Knox. Texas College Opens Cage Season With Win Tyler, Tex., Dec. 9.—The Texas college cagers won their opening college of the season Thursday over Emmett Till. The boys seemed to have the better of it at first, but the second half attack lead by Bowle and Simmons could not be checked. Coach Warren has not yet seen matching to have a very successful year. } THE THE CHICAGO DEFENDER ERS GALLION OF ONLY NORTH ON FAY'S GALLION OF BLUEFIELD ONLY NORTHERN PLAYER ON FAY'S FIRST TEAM By FRANK A. YOUNG Picking an all-American team have had to face this year, desired nearly ten thou- d miles form, Langston, the Oklahoma season undefeated. Wiley, al got themselves together and Tuskegee went through its fourth straight season undefeated and Bluefield turned the country upside down by cleaning every team but Wilberforce. Picking an all-American team for 1927 is the hardest job we have had to face this year, despite the fact that we have traveled nearly ten thousand miles to see the various teams perform. Langston, the Oklahoma wonder team, ends another season undefeated. Wiley, although defeated by Langston, got themselves together and won the Texas conference. Tuskegee went through its. Close followers of the game were keenly disappointed in the showing of both flowward and Lincoln universities, who had a disastrous seaside site. North Carolina A. and T. to eleven Championship and gets the Frank A. and T. for that association for one year. The Greenshore Daily News undertakes to claim a national championship and gets the Tuskegee team to stop A. and T. but not having seen Tuskegee in action nor the size of Cleve Abbot's attunement, the Tuskegee team was asked because A. and T. were by Bluefield. Bluefield heat Howard, 18 to 7, and Howard lost to West Virginia, 6 to 0. West Virginia played better here and Bluefield played a zero-offair. Atlanta stopped Howard, 7 to 0, not allowing the Washing-ton cross the line, and Tuskegee was tied, 6 to 0, by Alabama State. A and T's schedule was not as hard as Tuskegee's. Not in our mind can A. and T. play better. We do believe that a battle between Bluefield and Tuskegee or between Tuskegee and Wiley or between Tuskegee and Langston have set questions as to who is who. Laruston has a most enviable record. So has Tuskegee; so has Huebner; so has Jackson; so has Jackson has the best with not even a tie game. Tuskegee has scored more points than either of the mentioned eleven. Wilberforce's forfeit to Howard was most regrettable. The actions of rosters at the A. and T.-Bluefield game after the Atlanta-Ahlebany game were of such a nature that unless colleges which are acting as hosts furnish the proper police protection competent officials will rejoice. One matter which the Southeastern f. A. C. will be forced to take up at its meeting at Knoxville this week is the fact that members of the association to use field judges in all important games. Fumbled punts are being recovered and the forward pass rules make this Williams of Langston, the peer of all present day ends, finds himself again in that position on the first eleven, on the second and on the third of Wiley. Williams is a punter of rare ability, a good forward pass receiver, plays sometimes in the backfield on the offense and in the line on the defense. He can get down and run, and he can fashion, is a sure and hard tackler. Livingston is almost a duplicate of Williams. Both are over 6 feet tall and weigh over 150 pounds. Williams, the most successful of the grid game, gets the captainny. Carrier of Alabama State and Streeter of A. and T. make the positions on the second eleven. Eliminating such men is the best in the Southeastern conference, whom Coach Kindle had to shift to the backfield when Cooper was taken sick with appendicitis. Powler of A. and T. gets another wing job on the third eleven. There was an abundance of good ends and tackles this year, more good than bad, but the guard positions were hard to fill on the first three teams. Wildman Lee of Hampton and Capt Gustavo first eleven, with Slater of Wilberforce and Bates of Prairie View on the second. Lattimer of Morehouse and Quinn are placed on the third eleven. At guard position, Pierce of Atlanta is taken out of tackle berth and is placed on the defensive line. It is the class of the Texas conference. These two men have weight and size and know football. They can break through and spice plays and are the best defensive players for this season for those two berths. Bates of Prairie View was close on the heels of Redd, so was Westbrooks on the losing team, was the one bright spot in Morehouse's line and played an important part in that team's victory, placed on the third eleven at guard. When it came to selecting centers Tadlock of Tuskegee, by virtue of his experience and knowledge of the field, the A. U. player is moved to the second eleven, with Askey of Sam Houston nosing out such players as Tobin Langton for the third eleven herer. Jones of Langton easily won the quarterback job, with the crafty Cain Bluefield of Bluefield and the third eleven, respectively. Whedbee didn't have this year what was expected of him, and although he is a good player, he isn't to either of the three named players. With Stevenson, peer of the 1927 fullbacks and star of Tuskegee's championship eleven, in fullback position, there was nothing left for us to do but to pick Chambers, the plunging trio-threat man from Clark, a good punter, equally as good as Stevenson in the art of carrying the ball and just as good a punter, although not having the distance behind his kicks as Williams, the ON A BLUEFIELD ERN PLAYER FIRST TEAM n for 1927 is the hardest job we pile the fact that we have travs to see the various teams pera wonder team, ends another though defeated by Langston, won the Texas conference. from Langston, as halfback, and the other halfback is the hard plunging McPherson of Athena U. McPherson literally plays himself out in every game. He is in every play, bucks up the line in the most won- Big Ben Cavall of Wiley is choose at full for the second eleven. Lane of are his running Coleman of built. On the third eleven in the backfield is none other than that ground-gaining boy Shanklin of Tuskegee, who in his first season at Baylor is either Bailey or Wooten and who is destined to fill the shoes of Stevenson. Posey of Bishop and the Shifty Owens of Sun Huston are selected as halves. In the second half, back, is taken out of that position because of Freaux's canny knowledge of selecting plays and his expertise once he has been selected. The selection of men for honorable mention finds a large number of excellent players. The found was that the season starts too early in the South and ends just when the weather man is dishing out good football weather, another couple is the alumni of the business of coaching the teams and trying to do so from their office desks. The time has gone when a coach is hired when he can't win all games. The worst offense of all is the tendency of players to talk back to officiants and the attempt to both play the ball and take the ball. As the curtain rings down on the 1927 season, as a whole it has been successful, whose names haven't found their way into print not feel that they have not played a good game. Certainly it would be impossible to place all on the list. As we have made up just as we have felt that the playing of the various men selected has warranted such mention, and we have done so without any regard to sectionalism, fraternities and petty jealousy. The Wilberforce situation was unfortunate. Certainly Buchanon and Bickett might have made one of the three eleven, with Harding finding that the situation is muddled and no one will place any player on an all-star combination that even insists that he should not abide by the coach's concern, we have done our best. Couches who have time and wish to select their all-American teams will find space in the columns of the back row. The players they are fair enough not to load up their elevenes with players from their own section or their own teams. Schofield Quintet Augusta, Ga., Dec. 9. Paine opened her official basketball season in impressive fashion here this afternoon on Paine court by defeating the fastball quintet by the count of 49 to 29. The local five exhibited some ragged team work in the first half and both teams looked about even as the ball came to a halt with a bare three-point lead, the score being 20 to 17. The Paine defense tightened up in the second frame, however, and allowed the ball to elaston, while her lightning forwards, Captain Moore and "Bill" Wiggin, opened up a whirlwind attack that completely nonplussed the Carolina aggregation and piled up 20 additional shots before the game came to a close. Howard Five Loses,21-25, to Athenians Baltimore, Md., Dec. 10—After trailing, 8 to 13, in the first half of a game of man-to-man battles the Baltimore Celtics, they defeated the Howard varsity, 25 to 21. A driving attack by Woods, Carpenter and Coates gave the collegians 10-2 advantage at the quarter point, and the Athenians' line-up brought Allor in for Lewis. This combination worked better, holding the varsity to three poles when it gained 6 for the rest of the game. Continuing their attack in the final period, the Greeks ran their count to 17 while holding Howard gorcelless. This on the two teams matched point for the two teams, whistle proclaiming the Athenians the winners, 25 to 21. Cotes and Trigg played the best defense in the game, attacking shooting and their defensive play featured for the Athenians. The Athenians will journey to Washington on Dec. 21 to meet the Carlisles. On Dec. 24, the Indiana Psi five of Lincoln university. The annual western invasion will begin on Jan. 23. Games are scheduled in Dayton, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Detroit. The teams are being arranged in Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg. --- --- All-American Selections POSITION NAME SCHOOL End. WILLIAMS (Capt.) Langston Tackle. LEE Hampton Guard.

Dec. 10.—The football season in the Southwest was filled with upsets and surprises, with the biggest upset was the fact that Wiley was the ship of the Texas conference. The miserable showing made by Wiley in their annual clash against Langston at the Dallas state fair led many to believe that the conference game she would be becky. However, the company and a few changes in the line-up overnight changed the Cats from an apparent full-tender to a team that fought way to a championship of Texas. Splendid showings by Paul Quinn and Texas college were also contrary to expectations. Sheppard at Paul Quinn turned out a dandy young team that won three and lost two conference games, while English at Texas college made a splendid show against a Prairie conference teams. Law a Prairie conference team, the Wiley game, and should be able to hold his own against the grand-stand managers for at least another season. Bill Taylor played in hard-hitting games, some of his star players just before his crucial conference games, or Sara Huston would have occupied a much higher standing. Mumford developed a team at Bishop and will be best to come for the next few years to come. The eleveners here selected in our opinion are the class of anything west of the Mississippi. The merest day in and day out, not flashes one game and hustle the next. If Livingston or Williams have had any bad days this fall no one knows anything about it, we weigh around 190 pounds and are fast, handle tackles with ease, are great punters and dependable. Then, too, Williams knows much about football and he is our captain. Troupe and Bates, both veterans, are two of the roughest men on any gridiron. Troupe's experience enables him to take the advantage over his younger opponents, and he is a tower of strength on Langston's powerful line. Bates is the backbone of the Prairie View defense and is better tackle can hardly be found, although he plays guard with the same skill. In all, our delighted in every contest by his opponents, maintained by a large marion his superiority over all guards met this year. In midseason form from the first whistle to the last gun is Redd's motto, and the Benumont leader's work is always an inspiration to his men. Westbrooks ranks next to Redd as a guard, Redd's interference running being the only thing that gives the edge over the 'Paul Quinn marvel. Askey subdued all centers this season with the exception of the slender Briggs. However, the Sam Huston veteran must be given the pivot position on account of his weight and experience. Quarterback position goes to Jones by a larger margin. A splendid passer, broken field runner, interferes and deadly tackler is this Oklahoma boy. Then, too, his selection of plays are almost unquestionable. Posey and marks are two of the hardest men to hurt in these parts, but succeeded in getting away for substantial gains when watched more closely. Two better interference runners never grazed any team and their experience in Posey on a more experienced team would have had all Texas at his feet. Cavil is the best ground gainer in the Southwest. Wiley seemed to play better than Posey, but it seemed that the Cats would wait for Big Ben to start something, and the only game that he failed to shine was when broken ankle held him in place. Posey was off tackle or dashing around end. Cavil considers it all in a day's work. He is also a fine passer and dandy punter and a good interference runner. This team can be tabbed upon very closely and be found to be of all-star caliber. Who can you find to stop Posey. Posey is one afternoon, and if you do find some one to stop them, how will your team ever score against this crowd?

F.B. Richmond, Va. Dec. 10—(Special)— Despite the fact that the picking and selection of the C. I. A. A. all- star team centers around the per- formers of a few teams, the task of grabbing a bunch of men, proclaim- ing them the cream and elite of an- entire class, is no small matter. It is a job that involves the best that's in the pickers, and regardless of his- best, there are those who will chal- lenge the final say. Each season finds the pickers be- tween the "devil and the deep blue" set in some instances. But since the matter must be carried on, the lurden must fall on the shoulders of some one. During the season's campaign several secilintithiting stars of the grid firmament were sent out spitlight, yet some of those stars were only shooting stars. They began in a blaze of glory, but faded into the distance. While on the oil field, we were still illuminated; did not light the entire surrounding space with a blinding ray, but the shining power was lasting throughout the period, the stars were still illuminated and steady flare serves the purpose better than a fluctuating glare. In this selection everything is considered again. Every possible qualification, especially the glare, was displayed at every turn. Those who have stood the test not on one or a few occasions, but who have stood up under the going from the discharge of the first salva in the consideration of qualifica- Northwestern eleven of Evanston, Ill., and who has brought Clark to the team, is on the right. Atlanta U., right tackle, is shown in the upper right. Pierce was shifted to guard on the all-Americans team. He is near the wrist in the same Saturday. Below Coach Taylor and Pierce is Captain Benson of Clark, and he is on the right. team. Lower left is Clay, on Atlanta U. and a good one, too. It is not the plaudits of the blaze public that places this one above the other. It is what the individual has shared with the public, the knowledge of separating the good from the bad, or the excellent from the best. Those mentioned here are the best players in the game, played in every encounter and the main roles they played in the more important games. And in this selection most of the weight is given to the best players, who have to say, who have seen all the candidates in action the most times, in games of lesser importance and this is why this season. This year brought us another season of some good caddis in layne of Virginia State, Favis of Hampton, Gardner of Union, Streeater of A. and B., Streeater of A. and C, of A. and T. The call goes out for Fowler of Seminary and Streater of A. and T. These men proved their skills in the flank positions and figured strongly in everything their teams did. The tuckles this season have been waging another hot fight. The play was close. In the offering we find Wells of Lincoln, Jeffries of Seminary, Lee of Hampton, Cole of Lansing, T. Wilson of Virginia State and Ruffin of Union. These men head the list of the good tackles, and in the separation process the bad tackles. Virginia State and Ruffin of Union get the call for first place. where still seems to be a depth where the guards are concerned. The year has been rather lean, and we find only a few men who stand out as worthy of the call. We have both the best guards and the T. Anderson of Union, Robinson of Hampton and Boyd of Union. Miller of the Aggries and Robinson of Hampton guarded. In the case of Robinson, who was out of one or two games, when he came around he had built enough guards to make a date who made a bid to collect a position. Miller, who halls from the hills of Kentucky, stands above the men who proved his worth against every foe. For centers we have less candidates than in any other position. There are two men who head the list. Tobin of New York, a former men's basketball team, then men who waged, a bitter fight. Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY And in the lower right, folks, we have the wonder of the ages. Step right up and look at him. You'd need to be in the backfield. The Whirwind Johnson, former Lincoln backfield ace, and now assistant coach at Atlanta, doing his best to win the game, lost ten pounds when A. U. couldn't win, and lost five more at the dance Saturday night. Modest Chief Alkens, coach of A. U., posed for his photograph. acast against every opponent and their competition for a birth on the all-star team was very keen. Both are big, rany胖s, with keen football sense, long on long on small degree. Patterson came throughout the season without a let-down in his class of play, a thing which long on long on Tobin. A first chance on Tobin. The pilot mann, possessing wonderful ability as a football player, had some good days and some bad ones. He didn't say whether these were off days with Tobin or days of a complete laydown. It is not for us to judge. The consistency was shown. In this department there is fine array of good men—men who would delight the heart of any coach. The fight for outstanding positions—the right of being good good selection of stellar lacks in Williams of Hampton, Hibbler of Lincoln, Coleman of A. and T., Washington of Union, Watson of Seminary, Oberby, Virgini, and the other men throughout the season was all that could be expected. They carried out their assignments, some of them coming through in a blaze of glory, Hibbler of Lincoln, and the main responsible asset to Lincoln. Watson of Seminary was a fine ball carrier and played heavy votes in all of Seminary's offensive drives and was the very first to be good in the field. The versatile, Azzie back, was a power in the A. and T. backfield, proving himself a useful man in passing, kicking, running and tackling. Washington United had the run of the year, especially enabled two games for his team single-handed in less than a week—two victories that kept his squad in the running for the season's highest honor of the other boss. The game was all good. The game was all good but the choice is for Coleman of A. and T. and Washington of Union. Competition in this department was not so keen as in the others. The series of games were all the same. Chambers, Chambers of Shaw, Land of A. and T. and Watson of Seminary, but Land, the human battering rain of the Carolinas Agries, came through with color flow to be placed over the end of the lot. The list for this position is also narrowed down. This is an important task, and the few were able to keep up the good work through the entire grind. This is a department where experience is heavily required, and heavily. On the list we have Johnson of Virginia State and Brewax of Union, both of whom call for the first place and the latter coming in a very close second, getting the same kind of call for second choice. Other two quarters were given to the first place as the most consistent kicker during the season; Byrd of Hampton, who is a capable general; Henderson of Ames, who is a wonderful ability at advancing the ball, and Peace of Shaw, who is very promising.

And it was a game we (Defender's Football Critic and Field Judge of the Game) Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 10.—Two fighting lines that were "just too bad," two fast backfields that couldn't gain at crucial moments of the game, 5,000 rooters evenly divided, two bands, fine officiating and an ideal day marged the 0 to 0 tie between Clark and Atlanta universities on Spiller's field this afternoon. And it was a game worth going miles to see. Most of it was fought out between the two 30-yard lines. Atlanta lacked the scoring punch. So did Clark. Both eleven were handicapped by the slippery footing caused by the heavy rains of last week. A Real Game ATLANTA CLARK Smith L.E. L.Baker Pierce L.T. Ballet In a game where pants were frequent, where thrills came at the unseen moment, where the stone-wall of Atlanta held the minutes of play and turned back three attempts of Sam Taylor's back-to-back to score from the seven-yard line, which was both low and wide in a game where Duke Williams on a punt formation swept wide and clear of A. L. Williams, hauled down from the rear after a 50-yard run; where passes were thrown without regard to caution and left to play; where two fighting eleven were gaged when the gun locked ending the play, Atlanta and Clark Atlanta in leadership of Georgia and Atlanta unstoppable. But it was a football game. There was hard and sure tackling. Pierce left the game shortly after the start with a broken wrist. Honors were about even on the line. Jones at end surprised folks by breaking up plays and throwing Clark ball carriers for losses. Clark's deceptive hidden ball play baffled Atlanta and at times was good for gains, while at others it caused loss of ground. For Clark, Chambers, Williams, Roberts and Haley starred, along with Captain Benson. For Atlanta, McPherson, Whedbee, Stanley, Jones and Clay carried off the honors. Chark rooters came with confidence and color. Becked in their real and black and led by a band and a quartet who seized the floor, sheaves herself, bobble above all their yelling the chant of those A. U. students could be heard. When E. Baker and kicked to Atlanta and Atlanta fun for the ball tempting to pick it up and, Willingham recovered on A. U.'s seven-yard strip, Atlanta's solid phalanx rose in one mass in the grand stand and that until A. U.'s drifted across the field. Like an inspired team those linemen on the Crimson Hurricane fought, Johnson cold. Johnson hit the center but got scarcely one yard. Chambers dropped back on a pass formation. He tried a sweeping end run but was thrown back for a bounce. Johnson dropped back for a bounce. Rooters held their breath. This time it came sweeping across the field the lineman lauched. Johnson dropped back for a bounce. Rooters held their breath. But Atlanta's student body kept up their constant chant. Atlanta's end rushed back for a bounce. Rooters held their breath. The kick was low and wide, Hats, caps, banners and umbrellas went into the air. The day was saved. Were A. U. rooters happy? They held on the better, who held on A. U. A. U. put the ball in play on their 20-yard mark. A series of wild passes with two penalties for the second and third incomplete pass. With but 50 seconds left to play, Whedbee, called for the fourth time out of the quarter. A. U. was penalized, but the watch kept ticking off the seconds. Forty, 30, 20 seconds left to play. Then A. U. punited and Chambers fumbled. Jones of A. U. recovered. The game ended. A reception to the A. U. team by the alumni took place tonight at Taft hall in the city auditorium. The feature was the presentation of the official gold football of Atlanta U., with a diamond in the center to Coach Walter Aiken, who coaches the team without any salary and who has given six years of labor and spent much money besides giving members of the team an opportunity to work their way through school by working for his building company. We leave tomorrow morning, much elated over our stay in the New York State, Hester of A. & T.; tackles, Wells of Lincoln, Ruffin of Union and Cole of A. & T.; guards, Boyd of centers, Gates of Hampton, Walker of Seminary; backs, Chambers of Shaw, Hibber of Lincoln, Peace of Seminary, Gates of Hampton, Walker of Hampton and Guest of Hampton. Deciding the most valuable player to the team season is not quite the year it was, but this year's decision was made quite easy because of the fact that there was only one candidate, but this season he have Lee of Hampton, Coleman of A. & T., and Johnson of Virginia State. Since it is not necessary for a player to most valuable man to his team, it makes the problem more of a tangle. Lee has been in very valuable man to tackle, exceptional on the offense and defense, uncanny at getting practically all loose balls, keen on diagnosing good man to the ball when yardage is needed. Yet without Lee Hampton would have had a good season, course Lee would have missed. Coleman, one of the best backs in the association, and many other assists, would have been many good things for A. & T., but without Coleman the Aggies would have had a good season. With the Virginia State team how far would the Petersburg team have gone up the hill? It would have been the State eleven. His work played the important part in keeping Petersburg in the running. State, with him, one of their chance, without him, or some one of equal merit, what would the take be? Washington of Union, Hughes of State, and many very valuable men to their teams.

Bolden, (whose health failed him), as manager of the Hilldale Baseball club of Darby, Pa. BILL FRANCIS WILL MANAGE THE DAISIES Veteran Third Sacker Replaces Bolden Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 13.—Launching upon an extensive rebuilding plan, Charlie Freeman, the new leader of the Hildale club, announces he has acquired the keystone of the 1928 edition of the Darby Dalsies by signing Bill Francis, veteran infielder of Chicago, to manage the Hildale team. Incidentally this will be a return event for Francis, the sacker, as Francis captured the Dalsies in 1920, 1921 and 1922. However, Francis comes back in the role to be in the line-up as a regular. Francis is one of the old school players and sprout into prominence in the delphin Gliants. It was, however, with Rube Foster's American Giants that Francis developed into a star and the Grant, DeMoss, Lloyd and Francis. The owners of the Daisies share the fans opinion and are far from satisfied with the performance the past season by the Hilldale team. The acquisition of Francis to manage the team may be taken as a forerunner to shake-up in the ranks of the Daisies.

YOUNG, SPORTS EDITOR SPORTS Tuskegee Held to Scoreless Tie by Alabama State Eleven in Big 1927 Gridiron Upset Tuskegee Held to Scoreless Tie by Alabama State Eleven in Big 1927 Gridiron Upset Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 10—A dogged defense which was harder than iron when danger threatened, kept the champion Tuskegee eleven in check yesterday afternoon at Cramton Bowl. Although State Normal lacked the scoring power necessary to give them victory, their defensive play was enough to kill hopes of a Tuskegee win and the local school left the field feeling well satisfied with the 0 to 0 draw. Time after time the Tigers would crash their way close to the Hornet's goal line only to be stopped by the lightning Normalites. The great Stevenson must go the glory of the game. The game was really a football exhibition, but they stood out mainly because the duties of punting fell in the hands of the most a succession of punts with the oval about even. The first couple of boots which the Hornet quarter turned loose are unimpressive, but he was unimpressive, and held his own with the Tiger age. There were few, if any, spectaculair plays this fall, of keeping the ball in play. This battle the dom has a team followed the ball with more accuracy than did the Tiger runners in the Tuskegee usually were mipped in the bud and on more than one occasion the would-be Tiger runner was underable loss by the watchful Hornets. The second quarter saw the flashest football of the game. A success of the intense interest. Stevenson started the excitement by grabbing one of Moore's passes and getting away for the game, found the tables reversed as Moore broke into the picture and nubbed Stevenson's heave. Then he ran when he nabbed Moore's heave and got away for 35 yards. The advantage gained was cut down by a 15-yard run for eliphing inflicted on the Tigers. Except for this one flash, the first two periods found the ball eddying in the ten-yard line. Tuskegee gained fairly consistently when there was little to be had by so doing, but the Norman team always managed to tighten the ball and keep it in line. The ball was crossed. The ball remained in Normal's territory for the greater part of the first half. The Tuskegee hand took the field during the intermission and added much to the enjoyment of the battle by supplying a great brand of medicine. In addition the motions, the hand moved the tail of both schools in pleasing fashion. The Tigers showed a sustained drive in the third quarter, but it was not enough to keep the pants which left the situation about the same as it had been before the kicking began. Tuskegee started the third quarter, and three first flown in right succession.ey and Stephenson did most of the carrying and the ball went from midfield to Normal's 25-yard line before the field was themselves together and field like a rock. More punting followed and then Tuskegee pulled one of their few successful forward passes of the Hornets to P. Smith and the latter gained 20 yards before being downed. Railey opened the fourth period with another first down for Tuskegee and then the air game was again played. Smith received end of Smith's pass. The play was good for 25 yards gain. Things again looked bad for the Hornets as the ball was on their own 20- THE Chicago Detective GREATEST WEEK ITS AGAIN In All Sc Coll The Chicago De ticular attention in all sections of t The Chicago Defender pays particular attention to college athletics in all sections of the country.

McCall likens Klansman when he resigned from the hooded order and denounced it in a public address. A Klansman, and rode into office with Klan votes. So are many other public officials. Those who are not members are badly cowed and are under attack. We believe Alabama made a mistake in establishing a klanocracy, and that it is making a greater mistake in protecting foggers, but that, apparently, is the kind of state Ala- And what of those unfortunates living in Alabama who are citizens of the United States and are entitled to protection? If Alabama chooses not to protect them, is that to end the subject because it appears that Alabama doesn't want honest government? The Post-Dispatch, usually fair and outspoken, seems to have decided upon a course of action in this case decidedly resembling that adopted by the Roman king who thought he was absolved of the murder of Christ because he "washed his hands of the whole affair." But that will not work in this case. What concerns American citizens concerns them in Alabama as well as in Missouri or in New York—and things will be better for all of us when we realize this fact! THE courtroom scene in Goldsboro, Henry A. Grady and his assistants, would have done credit to the Memorandum. Theical Experts. Seated on his bench in a special session of the court assembled on Sunday by his order. Judge Grady looked very stern with his large automatic pistol by his side. "Let's get the d— nigger," some "Not white I live," answered the judge. "And furthermore, call out the guards. I have gone home game with their rifles and their bayonets. They surrounded the prisoner and stood their guard. There was a tenseness. Expressions of anger and fear flamed in the nances of the assembled whites. They knew that the "ig was up," so to speak, and that the man upon whom they stood had been the prisoner their plan, and betrayed them. He, Judge Grady, a white judge, had called out the guards. And so they stood in front of the prisoner for 15 minutes of the trial, and saw justice go awry. The prisoner was sentenced to die by orderly process. He was sentenced to the Klu Klux Klan, and he can rest assured of re-election. Meanwhile, the prisoner, a 22-year-old farmer, a arryer, a 22-year-old woman, a black woman, is facing death. He is facing the same death that he faced at the hands of the Carolina mobs except the arryer. As he sits in his cell and reflects upon his trial and conviction, all within 60 hours from the time the trial began, he asks what was his reward for being an American citizen. And as you read this, you wonder also, just what you have gained. He may be guilty; he may have murdered the girl. But your experience with human nature and with trials is enough to convince you that he could not have had a fair trial. He could not have been captured, properly defended and properly tried in the face of that seething mob—and given justice. Therefore, may he congratulate himself upon his resourcefulness in preventing the lynchment, but he has not added a great deal to North Carolina history and the lost of right and real justice. THE case of the Widow Lilithendown in May's Landing, N. J., calls to mind the ever present trend in white women in the South, where elderly, elderly widow of a prosperous doctor, leaped into sudden nightlight a few months ago with a tragic story of how she was murdered by her husband on a lonely road and murdered the doctor. She told her story so accurately that she was extensively quoted. Throughout the book, she describes the rounds of how these "Negroes" committed another of their crimes against white society, and throughout the book, she describes the American white was on in full swing. In New Jersey the two "Negroes" were quickly located. The widow all but identified them and they later confessed, the confession having been procured presumably via the "third degree" route. But Mrs. Lillendahl wasn't satisfied. She became so actively interested in the prosecution of these men, and told her story so dramatically that it began to be whispered about that she was playing a part. Then the authorities got busy. Result: Mrs. Lillendahl has been sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years for manslaughter, and a white man, Willis Beach, now definitely associated with her as her accomplice in crime and somewhat more than a friend under other circumstances, also goes up with her. Had Mrs. Lillendahl lived in Goldboro, N. C., for instance, or in Yellow Springs, Mo., instead of in Mays Landing, N. J., the inhabitants would have been treated to a first-class lynching party, and the charming widow would have been one of the guests of honor. Mr. Beach, in all probability, would have been a master of ceremonies. NEWSY TOPICS IN BRIEF Safe for Floggers Dramatics Slow but Sure --- --- --- ```markdown ``` SEES DANGER IN ASIATIC INVASION Courts Forbidden to Aid Africans London, England. — Little children hardly able to walk will be placed under conditions of virtual enshurement and permanent act as approved by the Southern Rhodes legislative assembly is sanctioned by the higher authorities. that is the opinion of Travers Buxman, perpetuator of legislation and Aborigines Protection society here, which is viewing the trend of recent native legislation in that part of the country. The act, according to reports reaching here from Africa, sanctions the indenture of children, both boys and girls, elsewhere. As there is no minimum age limit, children can be taken into the mines as soon as they can walk. Power also is given for the summary of the act, without obeying any order by an official, without recourse to charge or trial. NATIVE COMMISSIONER SOLE JUSTICE Another measure, now before the legislative assembly, is for "the control of natives." It imposes heavy taxes on natives, imposes temptuous behavior, and places the native commissioner at once in the role of prosecutor, judge and jury. Unless the British parliament, thirsty for more minions, steps in to amend these measures, it seems that conditions as bad as those which reformers fought against a hundred years ago can be repeated, according to Buxton. The British colonial secretary has been approached by the society on the matter without result. Now an act, which is proposed by the British parliament in the hope that their influence will expose the act, which is subject to the approval of the secretary of state for colonial London before it can be operated. MICA FIELDS RUN BY JUVENILES "These new laws come through the demand of farms and others for cheap labor." Buxton told Internationally, "So we have convinced them would not be tolerated in any civilized country were the facts fully known. "There is ample evidence that climate change will have a huge wide scale in Southern Rhodesia. We have evidence, which we are incorporated in the appeal being made to British members of parliament, that the mica fields in Southern Rhodesia are in the midst of boys. In one of the mines of the mica fields quite 50 per cent are juveniles. The military defense of the act that it in giving effect to the recommendations of welfare workers. This is a serious misrepresentation." Interracial Committee Organized in Tennessee Chattanooga, Tennessee. — Reorganization of the local interracial committee, with an unusually strong and representative personnel on the committee, to accept appointments here. R is headed by former Mayor T. C. Thompson, with Dr. L. D. Patton as chairman as the Colored section; L. M. Thomas and G. W. Franke, chairman of the backer and Rev. J. B. Barber, secretaries, and W. J. Dodge, treasurer. The reorganization was accomplished at a meeting attended by about 40 committee members, composed of about the same number, was so chosen us to represent all the more important civic religions, commercial and industrial organizations, including the chamber of commerce and the Manufacturers' association. On recommendation of Rev. J. B. Barber and G. W. Franke, the committee's immediate objectives: better living conditions, including housing and streets; closer and more sympathetic working contracts between the manufacturer and progress campain in behalf of law observance and good citizenship. High Cost of Living Washington — the highest standard of living ever attained in the history of the world was reached last year by the American people, the bureau of internal revenue said in a report showing that the United States had a total income of nearly $30,000,000,000, an increase of approximately $27,000,000,000, more than 43 per cent, in the five years since 1921. The bureau's figures revealed an increase in the nation's income for each year since 1921, when a total of $62,000,000,000 was recorded. It increased from $60,000,000 in 1925 and $3,000,000 in 1926, when a total of $59,682,000,000 was earned. The same increase holds true for the average per capita income, which was $1,637, compared with $2,150 in 1926. "This income indicates the highest standard of living for the population of the United States ever attained in the past," the bureau said. "This great increase in income is not the result of an increase in the price level." It added, "for the average price of consumed goods was slightly less in 1925 than in 1921."

Published by the Franklin Publishing & Supply company, Philadelphia, Price $1.50. And girl recals of George Washington. If any of the American historians are agents of the British government they include, at least, the first president. It is not our purpose here, however, to discuss the ballet of the book, but to books. Because of ranks prefude the chronicles of the times have forgotten the any number of black folk who have made very definite contributions to American civilization. Of us take Crispus Attacks, a here of martyrs, Peter Salem of Bunker FOR FREEDOM Arthur Huff Faust ARTHUR HUFF FAUSET Hill; Ben Bannaker, astronomer and maker of the first American watch, and Phyllis Wheatley, one of the first persons in America to bring out a new watch, who was the favorite of two continents, are unknown to the average student. That is to say nothing of the "New Negro." Fauceset's "For Freedom" fills a very valuable book, and the author has appealed to the boys and girls, for they will be the boys and women of tomorrow. In the language of "Cinderella" he tells the story of importance, if not great importance, that not only their children adding "For Freedom" to their bookshelves are missing a great opportunity to aid in their development. Boni and Liliver's spring, 1927, list, promises to prove as important as their fall, 1936 list, which many critics said was one of the first ever to be any publisher. The for-loving are the feature books on this list: Marie Conway Oelem, author of "Slippy McGee," becomes a Boni & Liliver book for them helping "The Holy Lover." Vera Hutchinson, the sister of A. S. M. Hutchinson, author of "If Winters Comes," is another newcomer, her love being entitled "The Dark Freight." Herman Sudermann, author of "The Song of Songs," has written a new book which marries his debut as a Boni & Liveright author. The regular Boni & Liveright author, Theodore Dreiser has two books—"Chims, Lesser Novels and Short Stories," which is carried over from his previous book, "The Finscher," which is practically a new book. Sherwood Anderson has a remarkable and unique book which he calls "A New Testament," a beautifully coded, Gertrude Atherton has written a novel about Pericles and Aspasia which she has entitled "The Important Book since the Conqueror." Ronald Fraser, who wrote that lovely fantasy, "Landscape With Fictures," has written an even finer one, "The Main Reminders with 'insurrection,' a tale set in the early part of the 17th century. Edgar Lee Masters treats of the soul of a boy in "KiT whose "Soldiers' Day" was so rapturously received by the critics, describes an ocean trip in his novel, "Mosquitos," Rose Caylor, who in private life is Mrs. Hoech, heath, who "The Woman On the Balecon," and Burton Rascoe has finally completed "Gustibus," his first novel. Among her lovers George Sand counted Alfred de Musset, Chopin and Prosper Merince. Yet there were four others who occupied a conspicuous place in her affections, "The Benjamin Constant," has gathered them all into a book and given it the appropriate title of the "The Seven Strings of the Lyre" of the Daphne Johnson company Miss Schlumberger's publishers, and almost simultaneous with the publication of "The Seven Strings of the Lyre" the John Day company announces "George Washington," the spectacular woman continues to intrigue biographers as well as readers. "The printed dispatches are mistaken in saying that no previous anarchy has been mude. About three years ago it was reported that he had definite information that the tomb of the late King Kroto, about latitude N. 42, longitude E. 101. The search for the grave of the king was carried out for generations. It was believed, following the information of the Persian historian Hasil el Din, that the tomb he was buried near the Kerkul river." CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1927 Poetry "Steep Ascent," by Jean Starr Untermeyer. Published by the Macmillan company, New York city. $1.25. When Kirsten has a gift message to Jean, she writes to the great masses of the people he writes it in poetic form. The music, the rhythmic heat, the ringing of words stirs the soul. It touches the heart. This poliant poet that makes one bitter is relieved by the dippant ballads of a wanderer like Walt Whiteman. In fact, the personality of the poet is a sympathetic it. It is as natural as breathing that a mother would have a very fine, sympathetic feeling for the things about her. It is natural for her to deal in things that touch the sensitive chords of her soul. Jean Starr Untermeyer has written a volume of ballads, striking with beauty and deep feeling. There is plenty of realistic music in her verses. For example: "Song of an Ordinary Woman" "Oh let it be the night again And me in your embrace, And my face held slanting Against your face. Then silent lips and fingers then tremble, then pay That at proud noon, ungraciously, They would not say. "THE WALLS OF JERICHO" New York.—Dr. Rudolph Fisher, who deserts everything to read a novel or write something himself in his spare time, has announced that he has come to the University of Michigan, whose manuscript has not been released to a publisher as yet. Dr. Fisher has made contributions to the American Mercury and the Atlantic Monthly. Though they were both elected to the Hall of Fame at the beginning of this century, the busts of Benjamin Franklin and Washington Irving were displayed in the descendants officiated for them at the ceremonies in New York university. The bust of Benjamin Franklin, designed by Robert Allen, was unquestionably the greatest-great-grandson of Franklin. Washington Irving's bust, the work of Edward McCarten, was unveiled by Alexander Doyle Irving, a great-pearl-grandson of Franklin. Both men wrote prolifically. Their work, it is interesting to note, was first published here in an authorized book. The founder of this house, George Palmer Furnum, was Irving's friend, counselor and publisher in one. The firm treasured in its archives a manuscript to the founder, in which he wrote: "I take pleasure in expressing the great satisfaction I have derived through all our time in the study of the great and honorable conduct. Indeed, I never had dealings with any man, whether in the way of business or of friendship, more directly than with any other man. Dearest have been profitable in mainly to own your sagacity and enterprise. You had confidence in the continued vitality of my写作业, and in the active existence and gave them a circulation that has, I believe, surprised even yourself." Harold Lomb, an American author on the history of philosophy and the author of the only biography in English of Genghis Khan (McBride, New York, $3.50), made the following statement when questioned as to the nature of the discovery, claiming the discovery of the tomb in the Gobi desert: "The announcement, cabled from London, that Prof. Kozlov may have penetrated to the tomb of the Khan is one of very important "Prof. Kozloff has been at work in the Gobi desert region for the last 1899 and discovered and made excavations upon the site of the old Mongol city of Karn Khoto. He is an archaeologist in the Central Asia field. Several years ago he met Dr. Andreev of American imperial outpost Dr. Drews considers his work of the greatest importance. He once completed a survey of inner Mongolia for imperial; academy at St Petersburg. Man Immune to 2.200 Volts of Electricity New York — Bernays Johnson proved during the recent radio world's fair in this city that he was imbu- lated with electric volts. He demonstrated his ability to withstand electric currents by sit- ting in an electric chair before more than 500 persons. Johnson cried in a length of inch thick. He adjusted the brass death chair helmet over his head, completed the current by placing his hand on the metal rod of copper and sent the powerful charge of electricity through his body. The bar of iron was held firmly between his teeth. From the electrical current in Johnson's body turned the iron held in his mouth white hot. Johnson's body swayed a bit. Then his hand was turned off and the demonstrator arose. The only effect of the exhibition was the man's profusely bleeding tongue. The volts sent the amount used to electrocute condemned men at Sing Sig prison and five times the amount needed to run an electric car. Johnson cried in laborator- ies and had made him immune to electricity. CALIFORNIANS TOLD DANGERS OF STAGNATION Unassimilable Aliens Must Be Barred Riverside, Cal.—"America, burdened already with its Negro problem, cannot and should not be asked to cope with an Asiatic intelligence puzzle, for past experiences have proven that physical characteristics rise as an impossible barrier to assimilation of the yellow race." recently stated Chester R. Rowell (white), publisher and author, in an address before delegates to the Institute of International Relations. The institute, which met under the slogan, "an endeavor to mutual international understory," has been directed by Chancellor Rufus B. von Kleinsmid of Los Angeles. Was shocked at the propaganda of racial hatred broadcasted by the speaker at such a conference. More than 100 students of international affairs were in attendance. INDIAN REFUSED TO ADMIT INFERIORITY "Our methods of dealing with racial matters were learned in a very modest book," he said. "The Indian who refused to admit his inferiority, is dead." Peril to the white blood strain by the unstable nationalities must be given deep consideration, as two elements, living in the same land on different fundamentals of thought and action, can be stagnation, the speaker declared. "Since there is no doubt as to the wisdom of mixing with the Asshites, the Indians of America cannot successfully cope with race problems as she would be forced to do should the Orientalists be invited entrance." Rowell concluded.

Professor Speaks 329 Languages and Dialects Berlin, Germany—Tassilo Schultheiss, teacher of Latin, Greek and religion in one of Berlin's secondary schools, daily juggles 10 to 12 languages in preparing to teach his next morning's lesson; native of Bavaria, is a linguistic phenomenon who reads, writes or understands 73 languages and about 250 dialects. "To keep my knowledge of these languages still, I prepare my classroom talk, not in German, but various foreign languages. Take religion, for instance, I read a Bible story under consideration, say in Macedonian, then I compare it with Japanese. Further, I try to get at the root of what the Bible tries to convey by reading the same passage in, say, Polish, Turkish, Bulgarian and Arabic. Then I begin to prepare my examination in English, then I receive it to my pupils. Instead of writing it in German, however, I write part of it, say, in Arabic, part in Sanskrit or Finnish, and finally in order to make sure that I caught the pronunciations of it in some generally known European language, such as English or French." ALIENS HELP RULE TURKEY Constantinopole — Mustapha Kemat Pasha, president of the Turkish republic, in conforming to his policy of democracy in this country, included in the list of candidates for deputy in the national assembly one Jew who is a member of the Arab will give the minorities their first representation since the formation of the republic. $501,336,000 FOR GIFTS New York, Nov. 14.—S.

The prisoners man power is used to supplant animal strength in front of plows in the冶铁, mire of the farm, is the declaration. Horses or mules are unable to preach theology so they in many respects the fifth in the Everglades swamp lands, but the failure of the animals to gain footing has not prevented the prison of those from getting the land cultivated. Fight to ten prisoners, in their bare feet, are牵引 to a heavy plow. The animals are forced to the mire, the front of the plow is attached to the front of the plow and sticks run through the links at certain intervals, leaving a handle on either side. The animals are placed along the chain, each pushing against his handle. One prisoner guides the plow and 'gees and haws whenever necessary, and the commander is a strong hand by the capable workers. This practice has been carried on for many years. Dixie Senator Warns Against Federal Inquiry Washington. D. C.-Members of congress from southern states were voted to impeach Senator Robert Boelee of North Carolina that barring Senator-elect William S.

A PAPER THAT GOES EVERYWHERE RULE ANTI-LYNCH SERVICES SET FOR FEBRUARY Christianity Indicted by Meh Violence New York—A summons to church people to penitence and prayer to free our nation from the evils of lynching and mob violence was issued this week by the Federal Council of Churches, through its commission on Race relations. "Lynching is a crime which leaves its stain upon us all," the call declared. "Any community that flouts the dignity of the law and courts of justice opens the way to the violent rule of the mob throughout the nation," the council said, which our civilization is dependent. Nation's penitence and prayer must be summoned both to check the violence and to respect for the processes of justice and new sympathetic understanding among all people. In the attitude of the church, prayers for the best things come forth." 1923 there were as many as 30 persons lynched in the United States, is so flagrantly opposed to the progress of right and brotherhood that all who are asked to observe a day of persecution and prayer that our American nation may be purged of this blot upon our civilization." PRAY FOR NEW ERA OF UNDERSTANDING The day chosen for the observance is Feb. 12, known as Race Relief Sunday. The call urged mankind to take action to on the belief that we all are of 'one blood' and have one Father; for "the callous indifference and silence we have shown in our actions," he wrote, "our ourselves becoming guilty in the sight of God and man," and for "our false sense of racial superiority and all the heartless attitudes that accuse us of race." The statement suggested as grounds for thanksgiving "the new sense of the unity of the whole human family to which our generation is coming." He also said that "conscience with reference to all discrimination against any of our fellowships because of race or class." America should also be thankful, he wrote, that courageous men who courageously defend the majesty of law and orderly government, who faithfully protect those for whom they are responsible, and who rescues their children even in the face of danger. The council urged prayer that "all arrogant self-assertion, all prejudice and suspicion, all attitudes that make us unhappy, all actions that that "the life and liberties of all the people may be held sacred and secure". It pleads that a deepened sense of the sacred and sacred and consequently of our human blood may be born in all the people, and that "we may have fearlessness in facing entrenched wrongs and unjust actions, willing for a so-called order permeated the spirit of love and fellowship." LYNCHINGS DISCREDIT WORLD MISSIONS "The sin and evil of mob violence in America has become a burden on our national honor, and a menace to our law and order," said Dr. George E. Haynes, secretary of the council, of American mobs lynching 4,551 persons, about three-fourths of whom were Negroes, about 91 of whom were women. Only four states—Massachusetts, New York, the land and Vermont—have never had a recorded lynching. In 1922 there were 57 victims of lynching mobs in the United States, 33 were 31; in 1924 and 1923 there were 16 each year; in 1926 there were 30, and in 1927 to Nov. 15, there were 14 victims, two of whom burned up. "Actual or attempted assault upon women, which many people think the sole cause of lynchings, was alleged in less than one-fourth of the cases," he said. "Every lynching that occurs is an indemnity of Christianity before the world," he declared. "American mobs of missionaries abroad, are doing much to hinder and discredit mission work around the world." American Public Warned Against Wasting Money New York.-A prominent New York bank recently warned the American public against its excessive outlining that, in spite of the general welfare, the average family is saving very little. About 60 million people in the country and in other countries are free to point of economy, since they do not know how to use their incomes intelligently and invest their savings wisely. People well-to-do are buying on the installment plan, which seems to be a fine expedient for the stimulation of consumption. Millions of people are mortgaging their assets. The charge of goods that from a strictly economic point of view seem superfluous. Mass production demands mass consumption. Fifteen per cent of the output of goods on the installment plan. Two-thirds of our automobiles, four-fifths of our phonographs, two-thirds of our vacuum cleaners, 50 per cent of our computers, 50 per cent of our this plan, the financial expert asserted. --- PART 2—PAGE 2 Chicago Detender Founded May 6, 1890, by ROBERT S.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1927 CIVILIZATION (This Week's Cartoon) In India one of the most sacred religious rites, centuries old, is for the widow, no matter how young, to throw herself upon the pyre that cremates the body of her husband and to be burned alive. England stopped this as one of the most barbaric practices of an uncivilized country. Troops were brought in and an incessant war was waged upon those who persisted in perpetuating this "suttee." A law was passed declaring anyone who helped the widow to carry out this rite guilty of murder in the first degree and punishable by execution. Thousands of miles from England—miles and miles away from the stronghold of what was known as white civilization—carrying an influence into a country that had performed this ceremony centuries before Great Britain was heard of. Yet it has been stopped. England could not permit her subjects to destroy themselves in such a manner as this. In the United States, another country dominated by white civilization, burning alive of human beings is coming to be an almost ordinary procedure. Under the dome of the Capitol—with flags flying, telling the world that they stand for courage, honor and loyalty—reminding the world that this is the land of the free and the home of the brave, human beings are dragged through streets, beaten, shot and burned at stakes. The government, if it can, has never shown a determined effort to stop this rite. It passes no laws against it, and almost never punishes those who carry out this practice. Two countries—America and England—both representing white civilization. What's the answer? THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS History does not anywhere record so much progress in the same length of time as that which has been accomplished by the Negro race in the United States since the Emancipation Proclamation. They have come up from slavery to be prominent in education, the professions, art, science, agriculture, banking and commerce. It is estimated that 60,000 of them are on the government pay rolls, driving about $50,000,000 each year. They have been the recipients of presidential appointments, and their professional ability has arisen to a sufficiently high plane so that they have been intrusted with the entire management and control of the great veterans hospital at Tuskegee, where their conduct has taken high rank. They have shown that they have been worthy of all the encouragement which they have received. Nevertheless, they are too often subjected to thoughtless and inconsiderate treatment, unworthy alike of the white or Colored races. They have especially been made the target of the foul crime of lynching. For several years these acts of unlawful violence had been diminishing. In the last year they have shown an increase. Every principle of order and law and liberty is opposed by this crime. The congress should enact any legislation it can under the Constitution to provide for its elimination. The above words are President Coolidge's. They were uttered by him upon the occasion of the convening of the 70th congress last week, and to that body. While we feel that they are long overdue, we rejoice that they have come in the manner that they were presented. Our progress is no news to us. We know we have overcome the greatest odds a group of people has ever been called upon to surmount. And we know that in spite of these great handicaps we have made progress. The thing that chagrined us was that our leaders—Americans upon whom had devolved the duty of recognizing these efforts—either turned their blind sides to us or deliberately passed over our worth-while deeds for those less praiseworthy. Year in and year out we have waited breathlessly for the president's message, hoping almost against hope that he would one day decide to take notice of millions of dark citizens who have lahored so long and so earnestly without their share of recognition. And year in and year out we have been disappointed. Presidents have come and have gone, and our problem has remained the same. Our congress, also awaiting the president's message, and taking its cue from him, has also turned its blind side to us. As a consequence our troubles have increased with the passing years. Mr. Coolidge decided, for some unaccountable reason, to set a precedent and to ask for what we had hoped he would ask for four years ago—and what we had hoped of his predecessors many times four years ago. For all of which we thank him. We have no doubt congress will now act. TO ABOLISH LYNCHING President Coolidge in his recent address to congress asks that a law be passed to prevent lynchings. "Every principle of order and law and liberty is opposed by this crime. The congress should enact any legislation it can under the Constitution to provide for its elimination." said Mr. Coolidge. Section 1 of the 14th amendment states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Section 5 of the same amendment says: "The congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article." This amendment was passed and ratified July 28, 1868. On April 20, 1871, congress passed what was known as "An act to enforce the 14th amendment," of which Section 2 reads: "Be it enacted. That if two or more persons within any state or territory of the United States shall conspire together, or go in disguise upon the public highway or upon the premises of another for the purposes, either directly or indirectly, or depriving any person or any class of persons of the equal protection of the laws, or of equal privileges or immunities under the laws, or for the purpose of preventing or hindering the constituted authorities of any state from giving or securing to all persons within such state the equal protection of the laws, or shall conspire together for the purpose of in any manner impeding, hindering, obstructing or defeating the due course of justice in any state or territory, with the intent to deny to any citizen of the United States the due and equal protection of the laws, or to injure any person in his person or his property for lawfully enforcing the right of any person or class of persons to the equal protection of the laws, shall be punished by a fine of not less than five hundred, nor more than five thousand dollars, or by imprisonment with or without hard labor, as the court may determine, for a period of not less than six months nor more than six years, as the court may determine, as the court may determine." This law, having been on our statute books for more than 50 years, having been considered constitutional by every authority in the land, should be sufficient to stop the crime of lynching if congress cared to see that it is enforced. While the Defender is for the new anti-lynch bill if it will prove more efficacious than this "force" bill of 1871, it does not see the great benefit that can come from passing one force bill to enforce another force bill. If congress cares to stop lynching it has every weapon at its finger tips now. Lynching can be stopped. It only requires the determination of our governing bodies to see that it is stopped. Section 3 of the act of 1871 even provides for action on the part of the president himself, where states have failed to act to protect their citizens. It is high time that the United States government stopped dallying with this serious problem. It is time its officials made real plans to protect American citizens at home. To cry for respect for the Constitution and its laws and then to sit supinely while that very Constitution is being trampled in the dust is certainly no way to enhance respect or loyalty for the government. The Defender again calls upon congress to wipe out lynchings—and keep them out! ATTENTION, WAR VETERANS The veterans' bureau, Washington, D. C., has sent out a final appeal to war veterans to apply for their adjusted compensation certificates before Jan. 1, 1928. By a special act of congress the period for making application for this compensation is to be closed with the closing of this year. Every person who served in the military or naval forces of this country between April, 1917, and June, 1919, is eligible for the certificates, and according to statements, millions have never made application. You should file your applications now. Don't wait until it is too late to get what you have earned. Go to your nearest American Legion post for the blanks and for assistance in filling them out properly. If there is no post near you, write directly to the veterans' bureau, Washington, D. C. And do it now. OTHER PAPERS SAY AN ALABAMA GRAND JURY STANDS UP [Glencore Tribune] Stern courage and a sympathetic humanity distinguish the report of the Creshaw county grand jury which investigated the floggings of citizens by the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama. If Alabama keeps a roll of honor for eminent civic service it should place on the roll the names of these jurymen. The denunciation of the midnight floggings issued by the jury stands clean and admirable and brave amid a scene besmirched by brutality, bloodshed and bigotry. It takes no enormous bravery to condemn so depraved a crime as the flogging of an unjudged citizen if the place is, for example, Chicago, where there may be handistry and corruption but where such utter lawlessness is not tolerated. But it takes courage, both moral and physical, of the highest order to face the organized forces of the Klan in Alabama. The Creshaw county grand jury spared no person. Their hardest words were, as they should have been, directed at a Baptist minister who, it is charged in the indictment, took part in the flogging of a young woman accused by neighborhood gossip of immoral conduct. The Alabama illustration is one of the extremity to which lawlessness in the name of morality can go when it has back of it political power and around it the vestments of sanctity. HAMPTON STRIKE [Prentice (Niss.) Rural Plea] The Hampton Normal and Industrial was almost dragged into the realms of shame and disgrace, just as some of our other schools of renown throughout the country; and in the same manner, by her own students. It is pathetic to think of how students nowadays seem to be seeking pleasure and merriment, instead of education and understanding. In fact, the colleges seem to be serving the public as a winter resort. It's not the colleges, but students who are simply entering for the sole purpose of learning a new dance, or a new kind of bob, together with the various Parisian styles. W. B. T. Williams, Robert S. Abbott, R. R. Moton, Booker Washington and such noted characters went to Hampton, staid there and got what Hampton had to offer. They went for something and they brought away something. Hampton did not offer the conveniences it now offers, but Booker Washington was only looking for a chance to work and develop Booker. He walked to Hampton and slept under a bridge en route there. He was determined to get something worth while. Strikes in schools only indicate that many allow the influential few to do their thinking, and must always have some one to do their thinking.

Some time ago I had body lice but got it off them. The doctor is also having an infection from the body lice and what he has since would cure me as it was 'a sure'. Please advise me what to do as I cannot sleep at night for this itching." Reply: As there are so many causes for itching of the skin, it would be unfair to you to try to test you through hard without first seeing you and making an examination as to the character and cause of your trouble. We would advise that we call for personal interest for these you live in Chicago or go some good skin clinic. As we mentioned a short time ago, there are several good colors doctors here in Chicago who treat skin. 2. Yes. It is advisable that you see a competent doctor and he will be able to find the cause of the disease. Mrs. L. G. of Pennsylvania writes: "I am 32 years old and have been married 10 years. My husband and are both anxious for children. One of them has a local operation and I needed a local operation and other doctors say that I need an abdominal operation. My left ovary is sensitive when I press on it with my hand. I have children without an operation? I weigh 142 pounds. My husband has a swelling usually of his eyes and mouth—it starts with itching and swells on one side until it reaches the side and then disappears as quickly as possible. Can this be the cause? Please advise through the Defender what to do. Reply: As you have had several doctors to examine you—some have advised a local operation and several have advised an abdominal operation and as such good doctors in your city, we advise you to follow the advice of those doctors who have examined you and you are in a better position to advise you we are as to what course you should pursue. No, we do not think the flicking and swelling of your husband's arm with your not having children. His may be just a nerve twitching which you can easily ascertain by taking me unmerged up with a good nerve stimulator. You and your husband select a competent doctor—go to him and both of you submit to a careful examination of his follow his advice as to what is best for your object of your most earnest desire.

Observations The Trend of Current Thought and Discussion Theater Vs. Church Please allow me space in your most widely read paper to answer Mr. Jackson apropos "Church vs. Theater" in your issue of Nov. 27. His letter was a protest of an editorial under the above caption. The editorial was and is a radical departure from the old order, that moss-covered custom of relegating progress to the rear while the Race became stagnant, waiting for religious dividends. It wits, nevertheless, a most timely editorial and the shortcomings, if any, will arise only where it is feared that our people may pass it over for something less constructive. They will fall utterly to partake of such material, and the editorial gave, Mr. Jackson would measure a nation's progress by the sum total of its religion. Since when, Mr. Jackson, did we begin the process of profane Christian religion? Has not every so-called Christian nation been the tyrant, taking the advantage of her unchristian ones? Ask her why she has not only an excuse for the tyrant's excessive abuse—though we are taught to believe otherwise. Any nation or race that has trampled another has once found to Christian and all this illusion. American today is christianized, and no country is more intolerant of its own subjects. When any nation embraces religion, it is entity, as proscribed by the Bible, that nation or race then and there shackles itself to religious intolerance and racial prescription, despite one's ability to attain their sex. Mr. Jackson, which is the most profitable to any people, a church costing $500,000, idle five days of every week, employing three people of the same sex and organist—or the same amount of money invested in a chain of drug, grocery or meat stores, creating employment for thirty times three people? Which now, is in your estimation, most value to the Negro, or any race? Why does it require magnificent churches to worship a God, existence which you or any human cannot proclaim, to be buried, the alleys are buried (either expressed or implied) because of the orders of superiority that are given to the church, you can account for Garvey having to spend two years in prison. You say he cursed Christ. Of course, that is absurd. You say he would yet be Garvey. Maybe you can account for those two murders, Bard and Flemming. They cursed Christ in Christian America. No, not that, but that he cursed another burnt offering on the altar of the furies of hate condoned by Christians. Now stupid, to say the least, that what evil man suffers because he wishes to abandon a, unyielding God, and poor Garvey had to be the example of a just God's wrath. No reamager, and more nummered among the dead. Garvey's imprisonment, according to you, was simply God's answer to the burning of the regular proscription. The sooner the HOMELY PHILOSOPHY THE LEAN-TO BY GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON How many lives are like the old fashioned lean-to shed attached to one-roomed cabins? Deprived of the main room, the shed collapses because it has no supporting urights of its own. Even so, lives indolently reclining upon the strong timber of an anchorage, are always in danger of collapse should the security be removed. It is well, therefore, now and then to take stock of one's personal possessions, and to be aware that the anchorage are not wholly dependent upon the proximity of a stronger personality. You enjoy most what you accomplish for yourself.— Robert S. Abbott. THE WAY WEALTH What to Do?

Pelvic inflammation or infection of fallopian tubes may casually account for the 2. Yes. It is advisable that you see a competent doctor and he will be able to explain the cause after making proper examination of your pelvic organs. 3. We attach very little importance to the doctor's ability. However, it will be well for him to take this matter up with the same doctor that examines you. We have been working with them for years through these columns to select a good family doctor and discuss such delicate subjects with their doctors. We have closed doors. People need advice on such matters and can get it host through the channel of their family. Pain Only at Night Mrs. A. M. of Texas writes: "Please advise me. I am sick and have been for about two months and asking for a long time. When I first took real care of you, I was told the care of a doctor for five months, but got no better results and have been trying doctors ever since without any good results. No one can tell me what to do. I am a woman, age 47 years. All my pains are in the left side, range from edge of navel and goes straight back through waist line to edge of back through hip. I am not sure all on left side. I never have any pain on right. When this pain comes on me I cannot lie down at night and sleep. I am all right in the day time. I am not sure what is the matter with me." Reply: Your case calls for "careful examination. No one would be through mail without first making an examination of you. Your trouble may be due to chronic appendicitis, enlargement and inflammation of enlarged and too the trouble may be located in your stomach.

He measures a nation's progress by any religious standards on rather, its strict adherence to them. Consider China. She went on her way, asking nothing and giving nothing for a hundred centuries except for internal changes. Indiscriminant to other countries, she pursued the even tenor of her way, gradually absorbing others as she went. Suddenly it was discovered that she was without a white man's religion. India suffers today from the same practice. Quoting Mr. Jackson, Mr. Editor, the theater has done more to undermine the morals of the white race than to undermine the morals of the black race might have added that despite their moral perversity they are unmeasurable above the Negro as far as progress is concerned. The white man demands that the Negro be demanded, and when funds are in hand, but you, we, the Negro, just build—nothing definite in his program—just one church that one generation after one generation that one generation returns for time and money put therein. The church never questions the origin of a dollar. All they care for or legitimate trade, from leavings or legitimate trade, made. Every race and nation needs an effective weapon of peace, but, Mr. Jackson, religion is not one of them. Carvey movement and such as the Church are effective kind, so take note of the facts as they present themselves. They may have been a Moses at some remote time in the past. I adhere to the Red Sea march, and the Red Sea march, because it compares favorably with another admirable story of my childhood days, Jack and the Beanstalk." But I unremember forward a man, who by his deeds, the church has done more good than any Moses can ever do, who would not advise his people to be slaves to a creed, but through papers called them from the hands, said work (not pray), for the night of hatred is upon you. He is none other than the prince of Negro journalism, Robert S. Abbott, with whom, by comparison, Moses is the orbital candle held up before the sun. Unshakech the Negro from church and you will be willed to will have wled with Lincoln for enluring fame. LIAM M. GORDON. Asheville, N.C.

There are more opportunities open to the Negro in the Gulf of Mexico from the Gulf of Mexico to St. Paul than ever before in the history of this great nation.

DEWEY R. 1913 & 1914 AMENDMENTS (This column is open to our readers for comment on any subject) AN EXCUSE FOR THE "UNCLE TOMS" Editor Chico Defender: Permit me to answer Mr. Gray of Brooklyn, whose contribution to this column appeared in this week's issue. Mr. Gray outlined many angles of possession to the United States, the outstanding feature of The Chicago Defender, which makes it incomparable in value to the Negro. The Negro's courage has had a solid and well-considered foundation on which to build though fortunate or unfortunate devotes considerable space to enlightenring its readers on both sides of the race question in its endeavor and enlist progress amongst us. We often demonstrate and prove that all Race papers that are stirring, but few, if any, seem to strike a public chord, so-called Caucasian race is the dominant race because they choose to be so and not by any special right of birth unless it is the gift of consistency. Writers and editors have come to the front, where the jects on Race prejudice to berate the "Uncle Toms" of the Race and the clowns of the younger generation. We the former passing away with the Chicago Defender will be down type seems to be here to stay. In the histories of America other that of slaves at their master's, that of a human being's character that of an edifice, depends upon foundation on which it has been structured. Without doubt who will enlist in its colony, its courage has had a solid and well-considered foundation on which to build though fortunate or unfortunate devotes considerable space to enlightenring its readers on both sides of the race question in its endeavor and enlist progress amongst us. We often demonstrate and prove that all Race papers that are stirring, but few, if any, seem to strike a public chord, so-called Caucasian race is the dominant race because they choose to be so and not by any special right of birth unless it is the gift of consistency. Writers and editors have come to the front, where the jects on Race prejudice to berate the "Uncle Toms" of the Race and the clowns of the younger generation. We the former passing away with the Chicago Defender will be down type seems to be here to stay. Let us be frank and face the situation squarely. History proves that slavery and its environment are responsible for prejudice. Our ancestors were "Uncle Toms" and clowns then through environment. Our women were mistresses then because they had no claim to womanhood. Men and women were treated the same as any other chattel. We, or they, submitted to slavery and its evil environment. It is obvious that the white race regards us, as a rule, half devil and half child and acts accordingly. Of all the evils of slavery that are still visited upon us I can possibly find excuse for only the "Uncle Toms" class, who were denied any other privilege than to be "Uncle Toms." What excuse can be offered for the clowns and mistresses of the Race? The ability to read and write is within the reach of everyone. We find Colored men bewailing prejudice as keeping them out of skilled labor, and about 50 per cent of these men are not even good laborers. Competition is the life of trade. If it is necessary to be much more skilled than a white man to hold a job, let's be that, why and be glad that we can do it. Let our women and men place as high a premium on the womanhood of the Race as they do, if not higher. Set aside the desire to be conspicuous and let race chastity, race integrity and self-respect reign. So far as the flag and the U. S. is concerned, I feel no one has more right to its protection than we. It is our duty to get it and not stand aside to see the foreign or southern white element reap its benefits. Colored people are still leaving the South in droves. When they come northward, let it be with a feeling of hope and determination to be constructive for the benefit of the future generations. Dirty barber shops, pool rooms, etc., may afford them a living, meager or otherwise, but a pooling of this money in industrial enterprise would give many employment that are out of jobs and be exemplary to the children to come. RAYMOND M. JACKSON. 826 Hildebrand Ave., Toledo, Ohio. OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM ALL WRONG Editor Chicago Defender: Please allow space in your weekly for the following remarks, as I have been reading articles in various papers on the subject. Many women, still asking for a chance and square deal. Dear editor, what the Colored race needs, in my opinion, is production. How can the Negro expect to receive recognition until the white women want? We have got to make ourselves wanted before we can demand anything worth while. Our educational system is all reverse. Why should children be forced to do something that is not present? Our boys and girls go to college and take courses that are of no use to them at all, such as Latin, Greek and fine arts. F. E.CALDWELL. IS THIS JUSTICE? Editor The Defender: Please allow me space to ask a few questions about "certain justice" in the Tribute there. 6 a. m. issue of the Tribune has a Colored man in one court sentenced to one to 20 years for robbery, and in another to 18 years for assaulting his own 3-year-old child and got only 18 years, and the jurors said the sentence fitted the crime. I like to mention the same Chairman Butter of the national Republican convention has thrown a scare over the death of a man who then break plied them and made to vote for another city—in event they don't they will be thrown out. Why must they be treated that they are not treated by Butter or other men. Why mistreat them and boast of the scare that's thrown over them. How do you expect them to get such treatment? Your truth. ETHEL EDINGTON-MERRELL 4907 Michigan Ave. Chicago. AS HEROES PASS IN REVIEW Editor The Chicago Defender: Mayor Thompson is doing much to uproot British propaganda in the country.

The Indians are asking for more recognition other than that of savages. Now it is high time that the Negro should also receive more recognition SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1927 two Orphans" by The Chicago Tribune E PEOPLE SAY readers for comment on any subject. in the histories of America other than that of slaves at their masters will. The strength of a nation, as well as that of a human being's character, or foundation on which it has been constructed. Without a doubt whatsoever, it is obvious that America has had a solid and well-constructed nation on which to build, although, fortunately, it was the Negro. America's importance among other nations clearly demonstrates and proves that she is one of the foremost, powers of the nation, in the chance as well as in many other ways. Consider the source of this—Negro, thou has served thy country well. Are we content to take a back seat to the parade of boasting passes by of which we have never done after undergoing the persecution we have and are still undergoing? I tell you. No! a thousand times. No. A different Negro is now the champion of the town who merits more recognition in the hitherto unrecognized laea—in peace as well as in war. Another way to lessen the race hatred in this country is to train the child the way to all Americanism—consider the world of man and not to his color. We have not only planted the seed but have harvested the grain. Therefore should we not share in the proceeds? ARNETT VONYDEOAR SKRIDGE, THANKS: WE'LL TRY Editor The Chicago Defender: Owing to my being a reader of The Chicago Defender, which is one of my greatest enjoyments in the way of reading literature, I write to you concerning your paper. First of all, I enjoy reading The Chicago Defender better than any other paper that I have come in contact with, as I believe it tells the truth about the happenings of the world. The next thing, it is not as radical as some of the other papers that are issued. I am a U. S. mail carried in this city and quite naturally I come in contact with more than a few dally and weekly papers. Now, as I deliver these papers, I notice that their printing and especially their photographs are clearer and more plain than my paper. The Chicago Defender. Now The Chicago Defender Is a first-class paper and not a second-class paper and for that reason I ask, if there is any way possible to make its pictures more clear, that you will please do so. Hoping that what I have said will not be offensive in any way and that you will strive to improve your Pictorial Page, I remain, yours truly, LAURIE W. STROTHIER. 240 Garrett St. Philadelphia, Pa. SETTING POOR EXAMPLE 12. Editor Chicago Defender; After reading the article by Melville J. Herskovitz, assistant professor of anthropology at Northwestern university, concerning our lace slowly and gently, I am aware that manly, there are a few things I wish to say, hoping they may be instrumental in awakening our people to thinking and acting intelligently. I do not know and am not concerned with the generation whose lace is evolving into, but I do want to get inbedded into the minds of my people that social prestige, etc., is not founded on color, but a pure color. I do not want their lace to be indeed high time that this generation stop their childish, silly actions before the world, which are interesting and laudable, and do something really great which cannot be done by white brethren are our superiors, let us stop acting like we do. What pattern is this the leaders and older ones are cutting for the younger generation COLLEGE YOUNGSTER HISTORY HEROES Editor Chicago Defender: I have noted with care the agitation going on in Chicago through Mayor Will Hale Thompson and the public in general, and heroic names appear in the histories to be taught in Chicago public high schools. I notice in a recent Tribune that the mayor may submit more name materials to the district follows: Polish, 2; German, 2; French, 11, and Dutch, 1, with no mention of our group. It does seem to me that civic organizations, churches, clubs, and Mayor Thompson to include some of our group in this revised history which he is advocating. Will not The Chicago Defender lead out in a way to arouse our group that this is the way we should act in these histories? Please take this matter under consideration. REFERRED TO NEWS EDITOR Editor The Defender: From an article in your paper some time ago, I wrote about the horrors of gangs and gestions from readers which will add interest to the paper. My suggestion is that, in your fight against crime, you have one of your friends to help you. I am concerned the horrors which a man experiences after he has committed murder. I have had the experience of being around two criminals for a while, and I am tended with tense nerves to their cries, yells and howls in the night while they were asleep. I am sure you have writers who could get up some small information on these cases that I am interested in. I restrain some of our young folks from treading that path. EDDIE I. WILLIAMS. 648 N.

HERE'S THE REASON Some folks wonder why they never get their names on the honor roll. It's because they make contributions to the club and fail to sign their names. I remember a girl named Linda M.

HEALTH TALKS All teeth, including those far back, called the molars, should be brushed both front and behind. This way of brushing the teeth not only removes the food particles, but also massages the gums and helps keep both the teeth and gums in good condition. Brushing the teeth crosswise is wrong because it infuses the gums and does not permit the bristles to get into the spaces between the teeth and remove the left-over food particles. A weak salt or soda solution is a good solution in the water for pre- huming the teeth. the water should be rinsed and the wet mouth should be cleaned with meal or when any food has been broken. Care of Toothbrush If the brush is to help keep the mouth clean, it must itself be kept clean. 2. Care of the toothbrush is an follower. 3. Clean it in clean, not water after it is used. 2.

THE Defender Junior CHILDREN'S GREATEST WEEKLY SURPRISE EDITION DEC. 24 Y. M. C. A. Billikens Organize Bible Class ★ Bobby Writes Another Big Story for Us SELECTED BY BOBBY Once, thousands of years ago, there was a lily growing in the woods. It was born in the early spring near a little stream where the bright sun came out. When it pushed its first little green leaf up the ground, the sun happened to be nearly overhead and saw it and sent down one of its prettiest sunflowers to take care of the flower. As the little sunflower stunk it the flower, it formed a circle and the sun came in the center of the flower lay the beautiful yellow stone looking like a sunflower. The great sun that shone so far overhead, the flower grew more beautiful every day, the great sun and thanked it for its life, the fairy that played around it and kept away all things that might hurt it. It pled with the flower; it closed its petals around her so that no harm could come to the fairy that played around it. Fairy Begins Story One day the little flower asked the fairy to tell her how she happened to be on earth, so the fairy began her story. I have always lived in the sun. It is warm and lovely as the most beautiful day you have ever seen. The wonderfully phosphorescent light that lights up the whole sun. I have certain great mountains that rise up to such a height that they shield the country around them from the sun. I raised all the food that we eat; the most beautiful flowers and trees grow in them. These shaded places can be seen from the earth and are called sun-spots. The sun is always looking for some little flowers just coming out of the ground. It sends down some fairy toes that the sun fairies let down a sun-boom holder for the little fairy to climb up. How can the sun give heat to our earth?" asked the fairy, "If as you well," replied the fairy, "the sun was very hot once, but that was beaten off not long time to cool yet. Ever since I can remember, I have wanted this world, but there was never anything for me to do till a few weeks ago that I could go to you. He told me. "Now the sun thought that this was such a beautiful gift that he would give it to the people the people would know who sent it. The present must be like himself. The new gem was needed most, so he sent one of the fairies to get one drop of the phosphorized gem. It was the most wonderful gem ever seen, but how could he send it down to earth? It was just wondering about it when he saw you. He foresaw how to give it to you, and he ended up to entrust the topiz to you, so he gave the stone to me and told me to go to seed and so make some more gems. I carefully took it and came down to you and now you have it in the center of your blossom!" Pleased with Story The little flower was very much like the sun-gold and chosen it to have that the sun-gold and chosen it to have the sun. "But," said the little fairy, "that the sun-gold and chosen it to have pick the flower for the topos, as they must work for it." It did not understand what she meant by this, but it did not ask the fairy any questions, for it thought: that perhaps she did not want to do it. So the flower grew and the wind scattered and died and a topos in its heart. So many hundreds of years the flowers became more scarce till there were none left. So the flower desecrated the topos did not, and after hundreds of years these gems were covered up by it. It was not till thousands of years afterwards that they were found by men who were digging a coal mine. So the fairy spoke the truth: "Men are the great sun-gold was happy.

Its population ex- ceeds 2,026,000 people. If you conde- nue that city, Chicago attains its great size princi- pally because of its suitability as a commercial and industrial center, that as a city it must process an industrial and progressive cit- izenship. Such, in the people who make up Chicago, Chicago must up- grade some con- sistible folks for their daily living and who, in their liking for th If you conceive that a city like Chicago is its great size primarily because of its commercial and industrial center, that as a city it must possess an institutions and leadership. So much, in truth, are the institutions in Chicago. Chicago is made up of sensible folks who work for the same, sensitive, luxuries of life, are no different from others. from others folks in the small towns and cities where they came. It is rather interesting to observe how the Chicago has best itself to the division of the three distinct parts known as the South, North and West sides. It is as much to one family that were three or four children with their different personalities. Chicago, a Family of Three The North side is, with pardonable conceit, proud of his Gold Coast, his miles on miles of drive lined with the mansions of the city's aristocracy, the seemingly endless procession of great hotels and apartment buildings which seem to spring up, mushroom-like, each month. In his "Tower Town" on the near North side he forsothers in studio or inn with the city's intelligentsia, and further out, on one of the numerous golf courses of Lincoln Park or his suburban country club, spends his leisure pursuing the elusive white pellet across the green. The West sider, like the South sider, likes his home. He thinks himself as good as his North side and South side brothers—better if anything. He has a wholesome regard for his own part of the city, knows how it lies in the path of the city's greatest and most potential industrial and home development, and if he feels any envy in his heart for the North and South sider it is due solely to pride. He thinks that the South and North sides have been until recently more favored than he is, but how the West side's park and boulevards are second to none and compare favorably with any others in the world. His industries employ hundreds of thousands in the most modern factories. The little brother of the North, South and West sides is the Loop, the downtown section of Chicago, where the heart of the city's business, industrial, commercial and financial life is. Here are shops and stores that rival Bagdad in magnificence and variety. Here, too, are the clubs, hotels, safes, theaters, the varied amusements which a cosmopolitan population depends upon for relaxation in this strenuous industrial age. From the Loop radiate all the transportation lines—railroads, elevated lines, the transient and the native Chicagoan, surface lines, motor bus lines, that serve The Industrial Side of Chicago While London and New York are port cities, and limited in a way by the disadvantages of their site, Chicago is the crossroads of the Western hemisphere, with endless possibilities of extension to the north, south or westward. Industrially, Chicago is the greatest city in the world. It is vigorously almost rampantly, healthy. The proximity of Lake Michigan and its humid and fresh lake breezes is responsible for more natural color upon the faces of young and old, flesh and poor, than you will find in any other city. No railroad runs its trains through Chicago's advantage as a terminal city. Chicago's advantage as a terminal city passenger and merchandise was evident in the marques and merchantries that marquette, those early explorers and sailors. In the city's widely diversified industry, the products are produced annually over $7,000,000,000 worth of manufactured goods of the highest quality in its ways—merchandise that finds its ways to very quarter of the globe. The largest open stocks of dry goods to be shipped to Chicago are men's and children's wear of all kinds. Over 400 men's wholesale clothing stores, the largest wear yearly in an amount valued beyond $100 million mark. Four of the largest nationals of men's and known brands of men's ready-to-wear clothing are made in Chicago.

Of all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other respiratory diseases. It contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the other healing elements corrobed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs.
