DePriest and Dan Jackson to Face Trial
The Illinois supreme court last Thursday in a decision upheld the legality of the six special grand juries investigating vote frauds and vice in Chicago and the validity of the 107 indictments which they returned against 98 persons, among them Congressman-elect Oscar DePriest of the First congressional district; Dan Jackson, member of the Illinois commerce commission and Second ward committeeman, and other prominent politicians. The decision of the state supreme court accused Frank J. Loesch, first assistant state's attorney, who was special prosecutor for the six grand jury, to trial him. The indictments would be speedily prosecuted. Preparations have been started by the state's attorney's office to bring Morris Eller and a number ofenchenemen to trial to have Eller film crimes last April which ended in the murder of Attorney Octavius Granady. Morris' political opponent for commissioner of the bloody 20th century war against the Boston holiday on trial soon after the holiday season. We will start the trials of Oscar DePriest, Dan Jackson and other members of the South side ring of the Chicago police has passed, Attorney Loesch stated.
Loses Test Case
The ruling of the supreme court came in a test case brought by defense attorneys in behalf of Charles Farrill, a minor politician who was convicted before the supreme court to ask that Farrill, indicted after a probe into campaign funds in the Second and Third wars, be freed on a writ of habeas corpus, or be acquitted. The supreme court grand juries were illegal, decaring that under rhinofix statutes two grand juries cannot sit simultaneously in the same county and that, because a regular jury can take session during the special jury case, special juries the special juries were invalid.
The high court held the special juries valid in every point. "A special grand jury can be called by any of the courts there is a demand for one in the interest of justice," the court ruled in denying the writ to release Farrill. The supreme court ordered Farrill to county to be hein until his trial under the indictment returned by one on the special grand juries.

Cleveland, Ohio. Dec. 25.—The police are holding Dose Wade, 27, alleged "voodoo" doctor, in jail here while detectives sought to learn the identity of a decapitated man whom they said Wade had conceived slaying. The police said they were satisfied that Wade's confession was truthful, but they advanced no motive other than some ghastly rite for the slaying. After giving them two false stories of who the dead man was, Wade refused further information.
The "voodoo" doctor, as a bullet wound on a cane left in his mouth, from detectives late Thursday, in the house they found the decapitated body in the basement and the head upstairs in a room where he was sitting, said that he beat the man to death with a pipe when he was robbing him of $33 and a watch, then cut out a piece of the pipe and occurred the afternoon of Dec. 2.

G.O.P. Drafts New Plan to Invade South
Washington, D. C., Dec. 28
Washington, D. C., Dec. 28.
— President - elect Herbert Hoover's second term campaign for the office of the nation's chief executive is being planned before he has entered on his first term, according to an article appearing Friday in the New York World.
The G. O. P. national committee is to remain in action during the election of the next national chairman of Dr. Hubert Work. This is being done to take out of the hands of senators and representatives to a large extent the distribution of federal patronage, which will during the next four years be issued by the national committee and state leaders.
Mrs. Booze to Go
Included in the plans for the next four years is the practical elimination of the black leaders from the G. O. C. states that this work has already been started. "Walter Cohen of New Orleans knows he is through, likewise Perry W. Howard of Mississippi and Ben Davis of Georgia, Bob Chichester is on his way," the writer states. "They have a white national committee from Mississippi now, which means that national committeewoman Mary Boose, who is the campaign by her photographs with the white committeewomen, will be dropped when they find the process." he says further, "and the idea Republican organization and rid Dixie of its fear of Negro domination, therebyaving the way for solidification of Republican gains down that way." This probably means the end of black postmasters, except where there are the illly whites will name the new officeholders. The authors of the program, who insist they have Hover's sanction, quote him as saying he
FROM
THREE SHOT IN DUEL; POLICE HOLD FIGHTERS
American Whites Fail to Arouse Public
Paris, France, Dec. 28.—Two American jazz orchestra players Saturday morning staged a pistol duel in a Montmartre district popular cafe over the affections of a beautiful Belgian dancer.
Mike McKendrick of Paducah, Ky., and Sidney Beckett of New Orleans, 12, saxophone players, were infatuated with the little blonde girl. They met in the cafe in Rue de la Fondue, drew pistols and opened fire on each other. When both guns were emptied it was discovered that four bullets had reached their marks on other persons than the
Two bullets entered the chest of Dolores Gibbins, 20, an Australian nurse, and the body of Mime, Murgerite Radineau, 60, a charwoman, who was going to work. A fourth lodged in the knee of Glover Compton came to Europe two years and a half age with his wife, Mrs. Nettle Lewis Compton. The plank of the bullet left the effect of the bullet wound. The police are holding the two musicians, while a search is being made for the blonde origin whose beauty led to the pistol shot.
Incensed Over Publicity
Actors and musicians from the States are highly incensed over the ugly publicity given the affair by white Americans here and the English speaking press. These agencies of the American art colony oppose against the actors and musicians by broadcasting the shooting episode as a club to drive them from the highly lucrative places they now occupy on the streets of the United States' highest platforms. These Americans present the unjust publicity given the affair knowing that white persons from the United States have committed offense against the actors and musicians to shame a safe duel over a dancer. They also show their displeasure knowing the vile actions and escapes of the American art colony and its officials. The police handling the duelists were approached by white Americans and Englishmen for the speed conviction of the musicians in order to prevent the duel against actors and musicians. They were told by the police authorities that the duel case was just another in busy Paris and would be taken care of in regular order just as the defense against the law was handled.
Bar "Mixed" Pictures
Since musicians of our race have come here and replaced white Americans with blacks, they tempt us on the part of the whites to magnify every trivial offense committed by blacks in newspapers having Paris editions have instructed their photographers to refuse to make any pictures show how other white people in the city
This is part of the propaganda of Americans to show that Parisians can be citizens of France, pictures made with black officials of the French government on them by French photographers are never supposed to subscribe for such services. No American correspondent of our Race has yet been wide awake and send them to his home state papers for publication.

THE HYMN OF HATE
THE HYMN OF HATE
An Editorial
By ROBERT S. ABBOTT
Silent Night—Holy Night—Christmas Carols. Thousands of voices raised in song. Thousands, millions of faces turned in rapture to the East. Christmas. Christmas in the South; Christmas in the North; Christmas in the East and West. Christmas in America. The world at peace—man smiling benignly at his brother—the Christmas spirit. Joy rules the world—and everybody is happy. That, in a picture, is Christmas in America. For one day that was the spirit that prevailed. Or did it prevail? Was this really the spirit that dominated America? Did it really penetrate beneath the surface? Was there really a letting down of prejudices and a whole-hearted return to the spirit that motivates Christmas? We doubt it. Where in the United States, from Maine to Georgia, from Baltimore to Portland, from New York to San Francisco—where was there a real Christmas that wiped out of existence the barriers that have been raised against race and creed? Was there a place on the face of the American continent where all races and all creeds were invited to come into the church and join the choirs in raising their united voices in praise of the Christ? With the exception of those who were privileged to force their ways into the crowds around public Christmas trees and add to the caroling in public places, is there a community in America that included all races when it paused in its hurry to raise its combined voices to heaven in praise?
When men and women creed out that "joy rules the world," were they remembering those black men, women and children, who, because their parents were forced out of jobs through the color of their skins, faced the day in fear and trembling—wondering if they would be able to eat that day? When Christmas carols were sung, did the singers mean to include in their wishes greetings to those whose dark faces have for so long excluded them from participation in those things which make for joy and happiness?
Merry Christmas—joy Peace—Christmas—white America—in a land of plenty—a land of boundless wealth—with men and women ying with each other to find means of spending money—brown hands, white hands, all color hands have produced for them—and men and women starving, standing out in the color, wondering why this color has not been used as a holder—What does it all mean?
Joy rules the world! What is the world? Are black people a part of the world? Are they to be forever proscribed from joy and even never to be black? Can you or I enter a hotel in America—a restaurant—to eat and sleep; to buy and pay for what we get because it is Christmas time; the spirit of Christmas; what it does it hold for us? Can we purchase a berth in a full car and ride from Jacksonville because Christmas spirit done that for America?
Christmas carols! Do they pennance the season of prejudice that abounds therein? We heard the Christmas carols two days ago—we heard them one day, and we heard them throne that sings them gives the order that we be turned away from a place where there is food and rest in the winter. We have to buy luth—but we cannot get them.
The same voice that cries "Peace on earth" cries "Lynch him"; the same hand that carries the candle to the altar carries the torch to apply to the human body. Has Christmas altered this? Has it made man more tolerant of his fellow man? Has it given him understanding—or the desire to understand? Has it instilled within him the idea of justice and mercy? Does it make him charitable—not with the kind of charity that is thrown as a bone to a dog, but the kind that makes one understand and sympathize? Has it given us an interest in the things for which Christ bled and died?
We think not. Christmas and by-piercing! Sham and hypnotism! A divorce of the dolls of the left hand from the right—just for a day. Christmas has come—and we recite our choicest our carols and we recite our cheated out. The lessons we have learned from the demons of hate we recited with a gusto that deceived us into thinking that we were suddenly sprouting wings. For a brief day we paused and looked beatile. Today the hymn of hate is resumed. America, In her accustomed way, hastens to forget that she has paused. Already the forces of evil are at work to recapture the spirit of the times that pretended to obscure itself on the one day of 365—Christmas! Christmas came and Christmas went. America is America still—we now pick up the missing beat in our hymn of hate. We sing!

STATE DEPT. ACTS TO CURB IMMIGRATION
Mexican Labor Hurts Native Americans
Washington, D. C., Dec. 28. —The recommendation of U. S. Secretary of Labor James J. Davis to place Mexico upon the quota list and thereby subject its prospective immigrants to the same rigid but reasonable rules as apply to immigrants coming from continental Europe and other foreign countries has been accepted by Senator Hiram W. Johnson of California, chairman of the congressional committee on immigration and naturalization.
To Check Immigration
Ever since the early days of the Harding administration, Secretary Davis has been endeavoring to impress both houses of congress with the necessity of putting a sup to the wide open practices of immigration by which hordes of swarthy Mexicans, low in their standards of living and wage cutters to a strutting degree, have been steadily crossing the border into America, where "the greedy grasp of unscrupulous employers, they have displaced from jobs both black and white American workers.
Black workers have suffered especially from the underbidding proclivities of Mexican labor, which has forced them time and time again out of their work on the railroads, in the mills and in the agriculture fields. Unwarranted unemployment of our workers in the dense industrial districts of the middle and far West, and as far east as Pennsylvania and New Jersey, has been constant proof during the past years, of the Mexican menace in industry and the crying need of quota regulations applicable to Mexico.
Urges Congress to Act
The manpower of America, after watching Mexican workers sweep over the United States border year in and year out without restriction and swell the unemployment lines of all Mexican workers, must mitigate an order which restricts "all persons of the Negro race" from immigrating into Mexico. The order fally states that "persons of the Negro race are only to be granted entry into Mexico, that such visits must not be more than 24 hours in duration." Mexicans displace workers in employment in the United States and their home government in Mexico, and thus must be entering Mexico. The senate and house committees on immigration must awaken the reason of congress to present the Mexican order by erecting quota gates through which every United States will hereafter have to pass.

Problems of our citizens in agriculture and industry as they affect their relations to the white rose were discussed by speakers before the conference. Dr. Monroe Work of Tuskegee Institute and Niles Carpenter of the University of Buffalo gave addresses on agriculture and industrial problems. The following by:
Workers to Face Test
Wider diffusion of racial prejudice throughout the northern states, coupled with the increasing number of laborers in joining the ranks of organized labor, form the major elements of uncertainty concerning the interracial relationship. On the whole, he said, the efficiency of our workers in industry "was above the average in tasks requiring extensive exertion." The black worker is maintaining with difficulty the tasks of the handcraft trades, such as carpentry and bricklaying. Trade union exclusion plays an important role in the industrial status test will come within the next ten years, when he will begin to be qualified for advancement in the crafts. The class to the skilled and directive types of work," Prof. Carpenter declared. "Two factors of immigration and the relative ineffectiveness of class and color prejudice in large scale mechanization are the possibility that color prejudice may become more widely diffused in the northern states, where the industrial opportunity than it is at present; and the difficulty at which the worker appears to be experienced in the trade union movement."
Need Hospitals
The racial problems confronting industry, recreational activities and housing questions have been the focus of outstanding cause of mortality in the South, the delegates were advised at the session. They reported at the same time encouraged progress along educational lines. W. A. Robinson, former superintendent of schools in Carolina, declaring "there is even reason to hope that America has developed so far in civilization and education, that a president can mention more education and less lynching in his messages to congress." His respects is superior biologically to the white race, Raymond Pearl of John Hopkins university and George M. Day of George M. Day, drawing his conclusion from a study of vital statistics over a long period and from a university he said that in six out of nine organic divisions the black man was better mixed with the white man. Prof. Pearl also stated that in spite of theories to the contrary several distinct biological differences were apparent between the white and black.

The problem of people who have migrated to the northern industrial regions from the east in great numbers, the eight specially acute. Forrester B. W.

Mrs. Boyd was known throughout the country as a church and club worker.

ing and recreation facilities was the opinion of the discussion session.
Restricted areas in which these people must live have confronted them with a serious situation caused by high rents and "population density," with all its attendant evils, said T. J. Weoffner Jr. of the University of North Carolina. The conference concluded its discussions by examining the problems of law observance, citizenship and race relations among the United States. It was charged by Thurston Sollin (white) of the University of Pennsylvania that "grossly inadequate statistics had placed the Negro in the false light, often under criminal than white citizen."
Crime Reports Fake
"That the Negro is more criminal than the white has been stained and the Negro question is the enamulation," he said, but added, "the inadequacy of the establishment of any fact concerning crime is noorious, should we assume that these people are not more guilty of the greater impunity than they do whites," Mr. Selim asserted. Conviction and imprisonment that statutes impose on Negroes he declared because "courts have unfortunately been found to discriminate against Negroes in criminal is closely reflected in the conviction figures." Instead of these arguments "already account of their crime, Dr. Selin deferred attention should be centered upon a study of the crime, and provided an equitable treatment for them in the criminal courts and the resources available necessary for their ad-
Problems of housing confronting Chicago citizens. Miss MacDowell of Hull House settlement, Chicago citizens showed not only obliviousness to showing themselves to be terrified by over twenty large bombs exploded to prey on residents in Chicago, Miss MacDowell said. "They now possess one of the couleaves in Chicago," she added.
Pointing out that the organization criticized to secure second mortgages now unobtainable from white banks was one of the purposes of the Miss MacDowell said that at present rates of 12 to 25 per cent were being charged for that "Mr. Resewald considers 6 per cent as good business, but other well-meaning people," she said as an仰罪家), she also remarked.
Realty Problems
Personal investigation among Chicago real estate agents had developed these citizens to be no greater risk than the whites of the same economic level, and statistics showed that there had not been over 1 per cent of residents on the homes sold to these citizens. Postmaster Lander of Chicago had rendered financial assistance to Morgan Park. Miss MacDowell said, explaining that "because they were letter carriers they were financed by the Chicago real estate firm of Chicago, who was cognizant of their economic conditions.

In the night, she said, "he came home and started another quarrel. He told me that he was tired of marriage and threatened to leave me."

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER
DEFENDER WINS
PRAISE FROM
CARL SANDBURG
Noted Scholar Lauds Paper for Stand
During the recent presidential election Robert S. Abbott, editor and publisher of The Chicago Defender, World's Greatest Weekly, was openly criticized by many of his independent stand. Using as his motto: Hereditary bondsmen! Know ye not, who would be free, themselves must strike the blow.-Byron.
Mr. Abbott advised his readers to break away from the Republican party and vote on account of men and men throughout the country today, great men are regarding the Defender's sand as significant. The New York times, one of the world's foremost daily newspapers, devoted a column and a half to reprinting the editorial of George Foster Deady, millionaire financier and philanthropist, who is known for the keen interest he dishas in human relations and adjustments, sent a personal telegram to Mr. Abbott praising him for the Defender's stand.
Now comes Carl Sandburg, noted author and writer, jotting down in his weekly notebook in the Chicago Daily News the following comment:
"One of the best features of the lato presidential campaign was the Defense Defender, Robert S. Abbott, its editor, told his readers to break away from the Republican party if they promised that both parties were long on promises and short on the keeping of those promises; he said the first time so much defense began he had to leave in Negro political viewpoint. Hitherto to the outstanding Negro spokesmen in the party, Mr. Abbott and the party secretary Mr. Abbott. The Chicago Defender should have no regrets over their declaration. Such current in the Negro body politic,

PRAISES DEFENDER FOR PIONEERING
THE most significant jailbirds in American history since John Brown felt the noose are nike Saco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. In the book "The Letters of Saco and Vanzetti" (Viking Press) is presented a fiscifcally record of the minds and hearts of these two men, and will add to the collection for criminology students with hundreds of pages of letters and on one day Vanzetti wrote a woman, "I bless you for all the great good you have done for us and for our family." Two days later he wrote a postscript to this pole say, "When I wrote the above I never dreamed of being able to您 again you today." The organization has been silent for seven years in jail between arrest and death chair. Those who are puzzled as to the significance and vitality of the Saco-Vanzetti case can learn why it is not yet over and will be kept alive as a tradition for a long time.
CERTAIN minds in Boston have operated so as to place "Sacrel Sister Mary," by Julia Peterkin, on the list of books forbidden sale in the stores of 'that city,' Just who those minds are we do not know. They operate secretly. The Boston censorship is run like the Klinn Kinn or like the mafs in the matter of personal identity. The organization secretary tells us how she copes with not reveal the books and writes the book at least from month to month ramming the books with a ban pronounced on them. In the case of "Sacrel Sister Mary," we could name a long list of people having definite standards of decency who declare that only minors show foul could declare this book to be foul. It is as clean a work as the ever-living, frutifying earth.
ONE of the best features of the late presidential campaign was the independent stand of the Chicago Defender. Robert Abbott, its editor, told his readers to break away from the party and tell the truth. Both parties were long on promises and short on the keeping of those promises. This is the first time so independent a break has happened in Negro political viewpoint. Hitherto the outstanding Negro spokesmen have been chained to the republican party
charter. Mr. Abbott and his
Dukes should have no regrets over
their declarations. Such independence
can be a health current in the Negro

Urges Boys to Spend
Money for Improvement
Detroit, Mich. Dec. 28—"Spend leadership, don't save." This is the advice given boys by Henry Ford, auto matriate. A boy's job is not to accumulate more money with the training, knowledge and experience which every leader needs. If a boy saves it should be used for prospecting. Prospectivity is circulation, but hoarding is stoppage, he stated. "The whole world now needs only one source—the ranks of the boys. For every man 80 years of age there are five thousand boys just onlooking, fresh and able and looking forward." "A boy will make a lot of mistakes, no doubt, when he sees out to spend money." The only way he will learn how to spend—by open spending. Experience will help his money boys no not really add to his capital of leadership. But he can't get such experience and its lessons learned if it there.

He was wicked, he had not been ready to accept the judgment, him to judgment, and therefore he would go to eternal torment. At last, eager to see this, he staggered, meaning, the congregation filed forward. Each man was empty. A mirror in the bottom reflected the face of the person who stared.

Marshall was born in the spring of 1525 on a plantation owned by Boorow Marshall's tobacco planter of Idaho, the name of his master. "Wid Jimmy," as he was known in his slavery days, was taught the tailor's trade by the school of his master home nearly 30 years ago he built up a large cellar among the white settlers. Until he retired 100 years ago he sold his customers. Some of his handmade suits are still prized by their owners and heirs of owners. Marshall once made a suit for defender of the slave who did tailoring for Generals Beaugrand, Forrest and Stonewall Jackson. He is the father of 16 children, all but six of them now living, and he is the youngest of his parents, 45 years old.
It was 29 years ago that Marshall started reading the Bible, and now he reads it upon going in the mount. When he has been out in the sun most of the day he is forced to wear glasses when reading his nightly reading. When he has been out in the sun most of the day he is forced to wear glasses when reading in the morning. So retentive is his memory that he can recite about half of the Bible. He has his friends. "I could only tell folk what I read from the Bible and most of these who go to church these days that they think it is old fogginess." Marshall has a white friend of whom he thinks much and frequently asks. Soone, who was 19 years old last May. He is infirm and solden leaves his home. He came to Leona county about the same time as Marshall, and he was for Sione.

In the land of "free" a system of oppression is at work which would pule the dark days of old imperialism and would prevent us if we ever expect to be an important economic group in this country. We must cease to be just spenders. Earners are the ones upon which achievements will be built in battle for our youths and their future.

STORY OF STRUGGLE OF PULLMAN PORTERS FOR ECONOMIC JUSTICE
[This article is the first of a series on the STORY OF THE PULLMAN PORTERS' STRUGGLE FOR ECONOMIC JUSTICE. It is a study of the historical background of the present Porter's union, together with a brief survey of the structure of the Pullman company's opposition. It will be followed by three more articles which she treat of the program and process of organization, the place of the Porter's union in the scheme of the Rac's economic struggle upward, the relation and significance of the Porter's union to the working workers and a concluding article on the future of the movement and African Americans in the industrial
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Out of the black life of slavery which shrouded the life of Nexxress in America for a quarter of a century, workers emerged into a world of work and wages, distressingly unwitting of the realities of life. Deep in the real wine of freedom they had been caught up and impressed into the service of George
Though just rescued from the sliny slums of slavery, with work in the cotton mill, they were with the Pulman company for little or no wages. Burdured with the heritage of a slave psychology, fearing the sliver system of chattel bondage, they were easily induced to accept any wage system, however difficult they were made to accept gratuitous fees from a sympathetic traveling public. In the year of the beginning of Pulman—1857—Negroes were not incapable of working in the labor of cotton mill building, as most whites were practically unaware of the significance of organizational labor. They were freed. Their old masters had already begun plotting to re-constitute the black freemen through the establishment of law and court laws, share crop and tenant farming and peonage. In such a state of civil, political and economic uncertainty, they were easy targets to the work on a quasi-feudalistic basis. Negro workers at that stage of their social and economic history were easy targets to the training of the number mills, railroads, cotton plantations and turpentine still operators, whose sole objective was to large profits out of cheap labor.
Thus, with the skill and service-personality of Negroes, Pullman porters straight across the continent, building up one of the most significant, powerful and profitable industrial institutions in America. To articulate, there was unrest among the Pullman porters in the early days. Porters with eight and nine stripes speak reminiscent of had to pay for every glass broken and every comb, brush, blanket sheet or towel lost. There never was a time when a Pullman had to pay for every glass broken in retrospect, with a manifest poignant pang of sorrow, on their work and wages when Pullman had only the wicker hamm or lighting, and the humble contendence for a berth; when a porter was safe and secure against a summary discharge upon the slain裤裤, not without a fair judgment.
But with the coming of the World War, which readjusted the relations of the supply and demand for labor, bringing a consequent rise in wages, the porters began giving expression to their discontent with the work and wages of Pullman. Three or four attempts had been made to organize the porters to fight for more wages and better working rules. R. L. Mays had organized a group of porters in the West. M. P. Webster, present president and organizer of the Chicago division of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, had been active also in developing organization among the porters in Chicago. In the East, Samuel Freeman, present welfare worker in the New York Central district of the Pullman company, was president of a Pullman potters' union. Mr. Webster relates that from personal experience every increase of the porters have received in the last quarter of a century has been the result of force and pressure brought to hear on the Pullman company, either through the competition of higher wages in other industries for Pullman porters, such as chained during the war, or through protests and nettions or through efforts at organization.
Immediately after the end of the war the spirit for organization and mobilization is alive. During the war, Director General W. G. McAdoo, seeking to maintain order and disruption for the facilitation, the movement of munitions, urged railway employees to form them to carry out the task, thus rendering the settlement of disputes less difficult and more rapid, thereby increasing the investment of soldiers and goals.
The board of waves and working conditions had been set up as the machinery owners and carriers. Upon the end of the war and the return of the railroads to private hands, the board of waves and working conditions the transportation act, like the railroad labor board was established. The purpose of this board was to mediate, divide and prejudice between the employees and the management of the railroads, with a view to effecting their amicable and connec- tionment of the transportation act in 1820 the Pullman company, seeing the several attempts of the porters at orgun- tion to work and fearing less the some and fearing less the some. devised the employee

Object to Pullman Plan
At the very beginning of the employee representative plan the porters of militancy and munhood distrusted and disapproved of it. While they did not sense the full meaning and significance of the plan, they had a good faith of the full-man company in forming an organization for them out of the clear, cold, dry. They knew that Fullman hadn't ever been guilty of giving them anything before. They knew that Pullman was hard-assessed by the law and directing ever seeking for finalising on its "pound of flesh." Therefore the porters were on sound ground in assuming the attitude of the Englishman who, when some one offered to give him something for nothing, asked with solemn uniting to "ment." "When the law is right," the captain, then must be a joker in the plan reasoned the more far-sighted and intelligent porters and molds, and they were right. The employee plan, like a phony diamond, will not hear examination, and the company shuts off discussion of the plan, the working of the porters to investigate it. Before the porters were conscious of the purpose of the plan, the company had jammed it down their throats and began creating a swarm of welfare workers, commonly styled by porters as "school geekers" or "children" to the role of apologetics for the company union, to muddy the water and confuse the minds of the men.
Rise of Welfare Workers
The welfare worker is a new sort of industrial growth or phenomenon. The Negro politician and job holder who is picked to lull the rank and file into a false sense of security, deigning and cunning powerful white politicians, the Negro welfare worker was created to help them deign and cunning paid $150 per month to chloroform the masses of the porters into the sleep of impotence. Ignorance and concern as to their fundamental economic interests and rights. Their function and duty is to spread the bona-fide union among a porter is dislolay if he belongs to a bona-fide union such as the brotherhood, although it does not affect the fact that they have a union of their own.

In 1915 it paid $160 in 1925, together with the eight-hour day or the 240-hour work month, with pay for overtime. Be it known also that there are no welfare workers among Pullman conductors. Welfare workers, as a rule, are only employed in order to be able to work for the workers and are overworked and underpaid content with their lot. Where workers get decent wages and have reasonable treatment, welfare workers, who are generally regarded by organized labor as spies, are not needed. Pullman has developed an elaborate system in the manner of picking out the strong and independent spirits among the porters for the purpose of with a view to having them duly framed, so that the company may break the spirit of the more aggressive porters with a threat of ex-
The social service work of the welfare fraternity consists in visiting the homes of porters in order to determine how many porters are Vicillies the porters own the number of children in school and the kind of clothes the porter's wife wears, so that the company may have this information to present to the porters when they ask for more wages in the Fullman wage conference.
It is against this indiscribably intolerable condition that the porters ornized in 1823. The movement, DesVernier, Roy Lancaster and A. L. Totten, with the co-operation of the writer, because of the nanneless inns of the porters, such as the dismissal of Roy Lancaster, former member of the employee representation plan, the porters, the subsequent dismissal of A. L. Totten, Bennie Smith, J. C. Mills, W. M. Edwards and several other outfitters, make the plan function in the interest of fair play, grew with amazing rapidity. The imagination of the porters swiftly captured, the company astounded and the public fascinated with the matchless courage, remarkable intellect, and with what with the brotherhood swon on from victory to victory.
(The next article will consist of the treatment of the program and process of organization of the brotherhood.)
City Council Stops
Fire Department Fund
The city council used good judgment last week in slashing $500,000 from the 1923 fire department budget. This appropriation was to have been used for adding new men and equipment. The city council should hold up all appropriations for this department until its 1985 white-shift stations are Ameriquestized, with the equal rights laws of the nation, state and city, must be forced to appoint at least three of our representatives to every fire station in the city. We have been denied our just participation in this branch of the municipal government because prejudice against our approval to the assignment of our able men. We is running the fire department, the firemen or the city officials, to get our just desserts. We contribute liberally in taxes to the support of all the city's systems and infrastructure and manufacturing of them. The fire department must lose its lily hue for a cosmopolitan color.

Abbott, puffing one of a box of fine hand-made cigars, while his thoughts radiated through the head, manufacturer of Havanna and domestic cigars, 1642 Jefferson St., Jacksonville, Fla. "Ab," mused the editor as the aromatic fumes lubbed his throat and thoughts. "These 'Great Blunts' and 'America's Pride' deserved the first prize they won from all the other exhibitors at the Florida State fair," he wrote. "The finest I ever smoked—a genuine domestic and foreign mixture, blended with the skill of a tobacco connoisseur. So satisfying, so sustainable, so beautiful."

THAT PEACE MEET IN HOLLAND
By THOMAS FORTUNE FLETCHER
Perhaps I was overzealous in my hopes for the congress and what it would accomplish to bring peace to a war-loving world. At least I was enthusiastic — so enthusiastic that when I landed at Plymouth, England, I hastened across the country, giving up an earlier plan to stop at Exeter to view the cathedral. I also gave up a proposal trip to the Simpsayspeople country. After hurled back at England I boarded a steamer, and after a short but stormy crossing of the North sea, at last set my feet on Dutch soil. Then by train to Rotterdam, where I found Ford and more in evidence than winmillers or wooden shoes. With scarcely a look at the city, so eager was I to begin to help solve the world's problems. I immediately entrained for Ommen, where I arrived after a day's journey through the placid, picturesque countryside, with its kindly old pine forests and its quaint villages—such an ideal setting for a peace conference. I mused, Ommen is a tiny hamlet which sleeps calmly just beyond Zwolle and Utrecht, and the German frontier, and it was the nearest railway station to the place of meeting where the peace congress to be
Mighting from the tiny, toylike train which had borne me to Ommen, I was greatly surprised to that that I had been able to travel two days later at Camp Eerde, the Theosonik rest on the outskirts of the village. This news the station master, a rosey-collar, told me in halting German for he knew no English and I no Dutch. Two days too early. I could not explain to him that I was going to destroy the truth enemy of civilization, war, had made me forget time, urging me halfway across a continent and an ocean and again across the sea.
"Would my niece stop at my house?" It was the kindly station master spelling out "we started for Herr Schumann's house. After a few moments' walking we reached a old village and facing the pine forest. There I was welcomed by a ruddy-faced little girl, a crow, a kind kid, a fire round, healthy boys, the oldest 10 and the youngest 2.
The Congress
After a late tea on the terrace in the garden I received a letter from Herr Schumann's and his assistant. Herr Broeckman would be charmed to show me the place where the confer-
Thus I saw the huge Theosophist camp, the gift of a Dutch baron to the cause of Krishnamurti, with its spacious lighter street and its men's camps, with hot and cold water and other luxuries for a camp too numerous to mention. Situated at the foot of Mount Besseren (if you climb the mountain a mount) and on the edge of the forest, Camp Eerde is a marvellously beautiful sight. The Theosophists gather in this spot for two iydilek weeks each year and had just departed to make a visit to the World Youth Peace conference.
"Here, indeed. Is a perfect place for a peace meeting." The beauty of the meeting surely brings pleasure to the peace-loving delegates. I prayfully mused as I awaited the arrival of my fellow peacemakers. Morning of Aug. 17 the delegates began to arrive in small eager parties. As I arrived, as I had been the first to arrive, and in two days I had made many friends in the village. So I met the trainers in France, Germany, Scotland, China and India.
Russians Excluded
After an exciting ride to the camp in huge husses, we were registered and assigned to our tenure. We then went to the camp and went from the canteen and prepared to settle the peace of the world on a strictly vegetarian diet. The first meeting was held in the canteen and we were welcomed to Holland by Anton Hoytling, the Dutch secretariat. No sooner had the words been translated into English, French and German—then a furious uprush burst forth, which strangled the pacific voice of the peace conference in its
The Russian communist delegation had been unable to attend the congress and should have been able to pass passports and visas. The Dutch government was openly charged with the responsibility for the abuse of friends of the absent Russians (mostly Germans) protested in uncontainable terms against the leaders and the leaders attempt to explain that the Soviet government, and not the Dutch government, was wholly responsible for the abuse of friends refused to grant their countrymen passports. From subdued tumult of loud, hysterical babble in English, German, French and esperanto, some taking the part of the countrymen themselves with the Dutch government. Outside a fierce storm had begun to rage over this part of the countries. The peace congress was on.
Finds Prejudice
Where was the brotherly spirit that I had dreamed of for months? Dejectedly I found my text in the impressions店 on my spine, but instantly I sensed another's presence in the darkness. This. I thought, is the German youth will with me so I prepared for him. I was started by a blind-
The Congress
laugh flash of light from the door of the tent. A man had suddenly entered. He immediately stepped over to my companion's bed, and there followed such a swift flow of German that I could only recognize a few words. Then the voice of the man with the flashlight, changed hands, grabbed my shoulder, lifting myself from my couch, I was horrified to see a tall, blond youth making wild laughs with the prostrate man and the whole time crouching his soft seductive chant. The man on the bed had been soaked in water, and was soon fast asleep. My friend with the torch, assured that the man was asleep, looked sharply around the man in the darkness of the stormy night, Peace us I am, there was no peace for me that night, and the following Peace congress committee on arrangements was assailed by a frightened young man who wanted another know. Why, that angust body never knew.
The morning found the storm over, and we had to forget the incidents of the night before—both the disastrous tumult of the opening meeting and my narrowly successful attempt to incline young peace worker. I walked slowly but gently down "Ada-deny" and saw two tents diving above their snowy tops the blood-red tide of communism, the communist faces of the other delegates and challenging them to the recognition of their cause as settlement of the conflict.
The American Delegation
The American delegation was composed of 70 young men and women from various sections of the United States. American delegation one young enthusiast (white) arose and falteringly began. New friends—we are not sure what they must forget that our delegation is composed of two races (five members of our group were present out of 70), two black friends and two white friends, etc. No doubt the young man meant well, but what a crumple and tactless thing to say at such a moment, not a delegation, but the selection of officers. Why make it an issue? I was an American delegate, representing America, and not a black delegate, but the selection of officers or green Americans. And so the election proceeded, with "one of the other race" candidates brought to my mind, white men proudly congratulated themselves on their broad-mindedness, humanitarianism and magnificent diplomacy. The situation brought to my mind the question of whether the Machiavelli tossing at home to a starving mongrel. Now, there were many fine men and women in the white, but it does not seem that those 70 youths who had crossed an ocean, many travelled at a sacrifice could be represented in "God's country" and met together outside of the gates of America as men and women inbed with an ideal and striving for a com
The Commissions
The work of the congress was carried on by commissions, the delegates being allowed to work with the commissioners of the choice of commissions were as follows: (1) Social and economic; (2) political; (3) educational; (4) religious and moral; (5) race and minority; (6) social and economic; reporting the end of the conference their findings. In the commissions, as in the general conference, as in conference there was little chance for agreement. Common ideals were lost in the efforts of various "movements" and groups attempting to pit across the divide; the ideals tute being: "Peace of the world will be ultimately gained by plains

The Results
I calmly await the abuse which I know will be heaped on my head for the publishing of this article by my friend, Ms. Katherine, who sure them and my readers that I do not seek to portray a pessimistic view of the meeting congress as I saw it. Much good, I believe, will come and will come from this conference in mind. Indeed, youth cannot come together without producing a changing effect on one another. It is my belief that different nationalities and countries must forget the benevolent German communist girl with wild eyes and faint floating in the wind, who could learn and yet was not white. Falling to get a satisfactory answer, she changed her conversation to politics. She recognized the socialism (she recognized only communists and socialists). I am not a communist, I was forced to accept necessity, and again she demanded winning. Again she demanded whether I was a radical or not. Replying in the practice, I ventured to ask of her
She nodded her head emphatically and almost serenaded: "Ja. Ja. Ich bin sehr radical!" She made with the peace of congress in Holland was that most of the delegates were "sehr radical."

The group of bills which in the near future will determine the political future of the non-European elements of the population of South Africa, will be further taking evidence by the committee appointed last year for the purpose. The more or less tentative drafts of these measures, which are being made during the session, have been somewhat nervously discussed in public by members or prospective members of parliament who find it difficult to forget that these will be a general election.
Measurable, a reading of the bills in their present form is sufficiently depressing to those who do not think they will be able to rely solely in terms of the million and a half of whites who at present control and exploit the five and a half million immigrants, many of whom are "closed" is used here in the South African sense. Lives with some more or less remote administration of white doom (these are the most important material, at its worst severely repressive, is outlined in the measured-dealing specifically with the native population in all these bills. But the African and Chinese, are apparently to look for no alleviation of their existing disabilities, since they are not mentioned at all in these bills. But the Cape province actually form the deciding factor in certain constitutions, and who include by far the majority of the African and Chinese among the non-European population, are to be accorded certain new franchise privileges which they are supposed to influence their political power is conceived will yet. If actually carried it effect, have far-reaching results.
Measure "Air-Tight"
The measure has indeed been named with great assurance to the policy of the Nationalists, a policy which, characteristically, suits their sense of what is truly and safe, and feels that they cannot wade a moral responsibility for these people, who, if white men had been both woke and not being, they are doing their best, by legislation which makes it a punishable offense for a person to have irregularities in their dress, to insure that there shall be no large fresh additions to the race from without, and to persons in South Africa are naturally very rare. The rapid increase from within would be a matter of greater incidence in the race from without in check by a very high infant mortality rate and the heavy incidence of tuberculosis and venom disease. If it is not of social absorption would at once satisfy their own consciences and give the Colored people a caring assurance of special treatment.
The anti-native feeling among the Colored people is as strong, above that lowest level of poverty at which all prejudices are swapped in the Colored people, and the anti-color feeling among the white people, the "Europeans." Colored servants will not work in the same kitchen or eat at the same table as white people, and they may be the cleaner and healthier of the two. A Colored girl who allowed a native to make love to her would lose caste among her friends. But their common dislike of the Colored people the better educated among them together for mutual support and mutual improvement. Thus the teachers of both stocks

have met and conferred, and a Lavelle, which is primarily a college for natives, most of the few Colored pontis who have managed, by heredoes to pass, the boundaries of primary education, have been established since 1841. And since in the Cape both natives and Colored people enjoyed the same franchise privileges as the whites, who were carried on the same footsteps entering parliament, while in the other three provinces the same blank negotiation was held, it was natural for them to receive times, or at any moment of political crisis, to make each other accuse and accuse, and Colored people were not debarred from becoming members of the town council or the provincial council, so that they were customed to uphold each other.
Nationalists Active
The Nationalists are rapidly changing all this. Despite the uncompromising dictum of the old republican constitution between black and white in church or state," branches of "the African land," that is to say the Colored section, argue that the big tasks of the Nationalists would never tolerate Colored branches of the same name as their own—are being opened and financed by the big tasks of the four provinces of the four provinces Colored and natives vote on the same to be as the whites. The qualifications are the ability to write on the registration form, and either the owning or occupying property worth £75 a year, or the three requirements the natives and Colored people, for whom there is no compulsory schooling, as there is for the whites, and a great depth of knowledge, and a hardest to comply with, so that a few weeks before election time little classes were wont to spring up my suspicions to help out the free and independent electors in this respect. At the meetings of the bond branches the listeners are exported by white men which intend to raise their status and treat them on a political footing similar to that of the whites, and to drive them to the regions whence they came and to which they really belong. This appeal both to interest and to the white cause has proved extremely popular.
If this propaganda succeeds, how will it affect the evolution and even a separatist race in the Colored people as a separate race in the White people that will so survive? Outside of the cane province their numbers will be large in the white population, negligible as compared with the natives. The poorer and larger part of the Colored people will inferior physiology and have little stamina. They are riddled with tuberculosis, and their life and such culture as they do possess are not native to themselves, but initiative of the culture, according to the locality and to the tradition of their own particular mission school to which most entirely for education and for recreation.

The government schools for Colored people bear no relations to their animosity, healthily overcrowded and thousands of Colored children grow up with no school at all. The bulb of those who receive a primary education only.
Hence it comes about that the few American Negroes who have found their way here become naturally, by virtue of their superior knowledge and by an area about them of freedom and of the initiative born of freedom, the natural leaders of the colored people, wherever they have in any measure enmancured themselves from the direct tutelage of church or mission school. They have as yet neither songs nor regards of their own, the language they speak to that, and the women of the Europeans to achieve they are, in by blood, but among whom they live as in a glass-walled prison, seeing, hearing, but never coming into contact. The Colored People of South Africa, if they do survive as a separate section, will, so far as present indications serve to show, only do so as a sort of oversize province, culturally speaking, of Harlem, New York, and a province of which that enormous and varied community would have no reason to feel particularly proud. For what independent and self-reverent people development can there be for people who are teaching themselves to disly the blood of one of the two races from which they are spring, write the other has long since cast them off.
No Equality Intended
We Equally Intense to find the most important point for reward for this bismarcking and suicidal betrayat? The Nationalists have to do them justice, never pretended that any measures would be made to the same things as intended as part of their scheme for the raising of the status of the 'Colored People'. What they do to propose, when some of the bismarcking and suicide war effort is unbelievable, marking off the Colored man once for all from the native. They propose to take away from the native of the young and the other people who are enjoyed on the same terms as both Colored and white, and to substitute for it native council with several special decisions.
Appreciating the supervision by the native affiliates department for local government, and a quot of seven European members of the European Council, the Cape Colored people, on the other hand, is to be left intouched. In addition to this, it is proposed to bestow on the United States which is the final over-31,000 for the three remaining provinces of the Union, all of whom now possess no vote, one European member of the country. The House has been to be of primary importance because of the assembly. It is laid down in the act of union that all members of parliament must be of European descent, and the Union must be the first and provided that at any time after seven years from the passing of the Colored persons' rights bill both houses of partilinary or, or more, of the state case. 20,000, or more voters on the ordinary voters' roll of their districts, in which case their one member will of course be the same. The other status appears to be the same when all other equal to that of the whites. But this would imply, for the Transvaal and the Free State, which retain some of the same status, while the main suffrage for Colored men as well as white, a state of things utterly unacceptable to the whites of the north. The end of the United States at the moment that as the average constituency of the country is about 3,000, the provision of one member for the people of the European country would be made to certain waves. I am hardly said to err on the side of generosity.
Makes Distinction
But even to be placed on the register that will entitle him to this fairly slender amount of money will have to prove to the satisfaction of a special board to be appointed for the purpose that he is required to prove his identity. Any person born prior to the gazettting of the Colored persons' rights; bill who has one native and one Colored or European person; any person provided that the board decides after inquiry "that such person is, from his language, a native, and from his residence, more closely skin to a Colored person than a native." But if he be born subsequent to the passing of his native, he will be required to resolution of both houses of parliament he declaims a Colored person. The native, at present may not purchase any property, but buy land outside certain areas. Since, for purposes of the revised franchise, a complete register to be used for all general purposes and native men, it seems reasonable to suppose that the same register will be used for all general purposes, and native men, it seems reasonable to suppose that the same decisions that will be so momentous to thousands of their fellow men and how they are to be selected is not
The division, already deep and tragic, in many Colored families is that the children of the same parents who are widely different in appearance will under the proposed Colored persecution be unharmed. It is impossible that such

Large Detroit Store Segregates Workers
Detroit, Mich., Dec. 28, (CNS) -- Not content with handling out the alleyed dirtiest and worst paid jobs to work hours under miserable conditions, the J. L. Hudson company, Detroit's largest department store, is hiring the first to empire workers by instituting the Jim Crow system in a week. Employees have been told that if they are to continue to purchase goods of the in the company's cafeteria they would dining room by themselves. The order was received with great resentment and was followed by a day all of them have been going outside to lunch rather than be Jim Crowed in the store. It was further ordered that all of the other female employees could occupy the same rest rooms as the white girls, but must all go to the four restrooms. The bitter feeling among the residents here and a determined move is on foot to boycott the establishment.

dramatic differentiation, with its far-reaching consequences should not further increase the disharmony among the Colored people, while in its administration cruel injustices will be inevitable, and creeping corruptions will be inevitable. Those passing of such a measure will effectively alienate the Colored people from the natives, and split them into mutually hostile groups among the Colored people. There can be for a many a long day little to fear. Is it impossible that some idea of this sort has occurred, and the men responsible for the framing of the Colored persons' rights bill?

Arrested by Seret, Chris Callahan and his squad of the detective bureau on command of Mrs. Floyd Johnson, 4755 Indiana Ave., who identified him as the burglar who entered her home early Sunday morning, Dec. 9, and tried to take two diamond rings from her finger while she slept.

Marshall, was made the first of the race, her police removed the same. During the past 15 years he have evidenced their great love for her, never allowing her to become loner.
"Bosiz and Bob"
It was just 24 years ago this Christmas that the groups celebrated with their Christmas together in their new home, the church, and their wedding, which occurred just a month before the holidays. Nov. 22, 1894, the wedding of Lizzie Carolina Thompson was the oldest daughter of the late John and Mary All Saints Episcopal church, St. Louis, Missouri. Her marriage to Robert Harden was of such importance that in those days not to know the Harden was to be considered unknown your grandmother. In those days not to know the Harden was to be considered unknown your grandmother. In a covert church they have four children, a prominent member. They lost two by death.
It was just six years before this that the Christmas festivities were held with Annie and Bob," for "Holy Jackson now Maj. Robert R. Jackson." "I am the third ward, and a poor l�in a glistless fire, and won pretty Annie Green as his bride. Both were born here and know Chicago's history. Their home was a center of social activity, for to know Annie Jackson is to love her. She numbers her friends by the hundreds. But imitates society which is the only one to be held to be her. The education of her granddaughter, Rozalie, whose mother died a few years ago.
There was much gnashing of teeth here when handsome Ed Wright won the comedy widow, Mrs. Lucille Willson. At the time of this marriage they were in the public life. It was a highly well-being. Wright was a progressive ambitious and energetic business woman, which stood her in good stand when her husband became a political leader. Mr. Wright had a most brilliant and remarkable career, and he pays a great tribute to his wife, who has his constant helpmate Mrs. Wright has a lovable disposition, but is retiring, and her friendship is sought by many.
Reflected Glory
A woman, who is possibly enjoying her greatest contentment at the present time is Mrs. Mary Ann McCracken, widow of the late Presiding Elder W. J. McCracken. As she mainly expressed it, she "is living in the reflected glory of her daughter's life." In her early married days her home was often the scene of many social triumphs, but as the babies came her life was devoted to her children. Her daughter, Mrs. Ethel McCracken Cleaves, one of the teachers in the Chicago schools, was elected last summer to head the Illinois State Federation of Women, the highest honor that the club women of Illinois can bestow upon one of their own. Mrs. McCracken is the constant companion of her daughter at the many receptions and courtesies which are being given for her.
So end our Christmas chronicle of five women who have done so much with their lives that they have opened pots for others to trend, women who are known from coast to coast for their charisma found anywhere. There are many others who share the same flavor, and they consider their lives have been greatly enriched by having known them.

ACTORS ARE LAUDED BY M'INTYRE, CRITIC
Just as Josephine Baker, dusky singer of chansonnets, became a Parisian sensation, so has Paul Robertson, the actor and singer, trumpeted in London this season. News comes to Broadway he scored the most brilliant success of any player over there.
In England, Robeson finds no racial prejudice. He is piloted to the best fine dining rooms, and becomes the guest of honor in the night clubs. Already America wants him back and equity is deciding a dispute over his contract, which suspended for a month and there were whispers he might be barred from the American stage Up in Harlem his own people are fixations for his return, and partitions but because he is the outstanding and best beloved figure of his Race.
Along Lenox Ave, he is Kim Craws tag his heels in the manner of Boardway. While his fame as an actor grows, he is best known to the Black Belt as a singer. He sings instinctively, having had but few experiences, like Europe he storms some years ago.
Robeson is the bronze of copper with the figure of an Apollo and is the law at Columbia, but he seemed born for the footlifters and turned his back on Blackstone early and succeeded in was in OXFORD to God's Chillin Got Wings." He is the only public singer correctly to sing moving songs and mourning. His salary in England is reputed to be $1,250 a week. While this is more money than he earned before she died, received a salary of entertainers. Florence Mills at the peak of her earning power, shortly before she died, received a teacher-fooled t丹舞, draws L150 this season on Boardway.
NEW YORK BOOKINGS JAMMED
New York—Vandevile agents, including Keith, are advising acts to be taken, being in a position to stay away in answering out-of-town requests for bookings, the steer clear letters are from agents to their more friendly clients, but it is becoming a form letter from agents to acts playing or lapping up the tickets. The letters state that they play out of Chicago, Detroit or elsewhere are better off than the hundreds now around New York and not the advice probably will prevail while Keith's booking jam lasts and during the elimination of vandevile agents through talking picture shorts. About the most difficult thing to secure in the New York and the East Coast contracted people into the showing houses. When a showing is landed and others fill their gaps by booking the other agents or four weeks before another, and often the other is also for auditional purposes, so the act is told. Three weeks before salary in New York is considered a break by many acts at this time.
SHOW BOAT
New York—On Wednesday night at the Ziegfeld theater the first anthem "Boat" will be celebrated. Never before has the profession known such great trade as that enjoyed by this classic. Its end is not yet predictable, and globally will run for another season.
This production, with a cost of $100,000, features jubilee singers, 12 dancing girls and features Jules Bledsoe, whose marvelous rendition of that popular song than pleased the patrons of the Ziegfeld theater.

THE MUSICAL BUNCH BY DAVE PEYTON
Things in General
his fine musical ability and gentlemanly qualities:
"Baltimore for many years back has earned the reputation of being the home town of many musicians who make good and become nationally and internationally known.
"The most recent successful person that I have in mind is Jerome Carrington, a young and accomplished bassist now performing at the Regal theater, Chicago.
"Beginning the informal study of music, he was able to play hymns only fairly. Carrington has now earned an enviable reputation for instrument playing. I store going west the young musician was organist and pianist at the Regent theater. He held this position for many years and the female customers were ready to hang a creep on the organ.
"It is generally conceded by the public that no other organist has gotten as much music from the instrument as did Carrington, who worked the console when it was first installed."
"Probably many people will be interested to know that this young man is a self-taught at organist and not only his first theater job, but that he came fresh from the position of church organist. His first do, and at the first performance, of the organ and encouraged him as he christened the organ with his first jazz strains. The Shilker, of which he was a majorly executed by the young musician, as many of his admirers in the audience showed their appreciation by applauding. Then the development of Jerome Carrington's swift moving musical career, we find him struggling to master the organ at St. James, P. E. Church, and then after his rather telegraph musical education began, Carrington came to St. James, M. E. church from Asbury M. L. church on the invitation of the organist who offered to give him musical training free if he would come to their church. Miss Mary Bragg, the teacher, and a graduate of Ithaca University, no doubt, saw promise in the boy.
Directly following the real beginning of his musical career, Ellsworth Toomey, well known local producer of ancienter theatrical productions and also teacher of voice and piano, became interested in Jerome Carrington and induced him to join his Troubadours. In this organization he was able to get an abundance of experience, both as a pianist and vocalist. Annually Toomey put on productions here and in other cities and on each of these occasions the fast-growing young musician got a line, where of the home
"After going into the Regent, which was running a policy of pictures and vaudeville, Carrington was lost to the outside world, but reigned as king supreme at the console of the new organ. Often so much music came from the instrument that one was made to wonder whether or not there was more than one person there."
"Here he began to run up against real difficulties, for he was not experienced in the art of accompanying vaudeville entertainers. Finally, after many bawlings out, and after making many mistakes, he began to prose the a veteran. This he accomplished in less than a year's work in the theater."
"Chicago now has this Baltimore boy's services. Baltimore has been honoring for years, but it is also bidding heavily for him. Blake, Ludwig Roberts and others reached the musical pinnacle after years, but from all up-coming to be a record breaker in our home town boys who made good away from home in the world of music."
**NOTES**
Guy Lombardo's orchestra is the inspiration of the country. They might rightly be called the "American Orchestra" on the south side of Chicago. At the Juice theater, two weeks ago, they were a riot and brought the house out of the red. In recent months, they are following among our people.

HELLO. 1929
The old year is about to close. We will all bid adieu to 1928 Monday, Dec. 31, at midnight. We will then bid welcome to 1928 with a cheerful yell, "Hello 1928."
A.
Most all of us at this time of our resolutions, some of us keep them and some do not, and some good to make sincere resolutions. If we do not keep them, that we had the thought and determination to do right at that time.
Dave Pryton
We should look back over the old year and try to find mistakes we have made and make resolutions to try with all energy to surpass any achievement made during the past year. We should try to give better service professionally. We should try to be more helpful. We should try to web closer to one another in the net of brotherly love and good fellowship. We should strive not to be envious of others. Instead try to follow in his footsteps.
We should endeavor to assist those who are less fortunate than ourselves in this great world. Some are many who have ambition and ability to do big things, but the door of opportunity never opens for them, many who are welcomed through this door who have not the qualities nor attainments to sustain themselves. Let us work with them, with a determination to win even greater success and laurels then we have the past year, and when 1923 leading to its close may we look back in pride in our success during that year.
Unexplored Areas
In our large cities, more especially New York and Chicago, most of our musical activities are confined to our churches, of course, working in white districts, but they are few. Our contractors do not advertise enough what they have to sell, the units and materials, and the medium, metaphorizing the bulk of the work, while we have five combinations on the loufs bench. Work is not going to seek the best, but we must mass up more nerve and if we know that we have the goods and can demonstrate it we will find a ready market. Too many jobs and deliver. We may get on some important job and ruin it for others who, if they had the chance, would have made good. Many a white orchestra has slipped in owing to
Look around your town and see what is doing. Get hold of the social calendars, see what the elite is doing in the way of entertainments. Get out some interesting literature, mail to the form of advertising and you will be surprised at the results gained. The world has admitted that our music and our rendition of its canned be surpassed, but we have grown swell headed over this compliment and have stood still, not taking advantage of the opportunity. What we must do is to put in more time in practice, individually and collectively in orchestra work it is absolutely necessary for consecutive ensemble rehearsals. When this is done and some good accomplished, we can go out and sell our orchestras without fear of them falling down on the engagement and probably losing it for our musicians altogether. Let us get into these unexploited areas and show them what we can do with perfectly trained orchestras and under competent leaders.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER
IN OLD KAYSEE
Bv CHARLES O'NEAL
Kansas City, Mo. - For the second week straight the screen offering scored decisively over the stage gang at the Lincoln theater. The only thing with Davenport and Smith's Chicago Steppers worthy of mention was the whirlwind dancing of Charles Moss and Larry Martin. These boys are really too good for the company and saved the bill from being a complete frost. For the rest of the bill we refuse to elaborate. The Tiffany screen presentation of "Wild Geese" is a novel adaptation by Martha Ostenso showing the crude life among the illiterate and greedy farm folks, who in many instances work their wives and children like so many cattle. It was a great picture with much human interest.
Wandering around back-stage we glimpsed a "three-piece light display" on the left, which will be erected immediately above the theater. This display can be seen for miles in either direction, and the purse price, with erection, will be the same as that of the Lincoln, and his stage managers—Bob Hurt, chief, and Charles Johnson, assistant—spent some time with the actors, who effected the effects they expect to produce with the Vipteleon which will be installed at the Lincoln in January. The expenditure will amount to more than $10,000. At the Ebbon theater we sat on the bench with Billie Basie, who dickles the ivories of the new "pipe." Billy just rests in the vault in points West. He declares he wishes mail from all theatrical friends, both within and without the profession. Address in care of the man will do the rest. The offering at his house was a "tulip." Richard Bid in "Warming Up." It is a baseball affair and appealed to all lovers of
Rough-riding, bronze-busting and six-gun work held the attention of the theater fans that attended the Gem theater Sunday and Monday, the readings in the Golden West and the Western magazines certainly must have been in their glory as they watched Hood Gibson do his "stuff" in "Hiding to Fame" as it was portrayed on the silver sheet. It particularly appeared to the singers, who emulate (in the music) the deeds of these daring heroes.
HATCH AND CARPENTER
A REVIEW
London, England—it was in an American railway train about four hours before the duck "Dugsy Jazz Baz," who in their synaptized duets, are topping the variety hill at the Hull Tivoli station. The duets are idea of joining forces. They were on their way to entertain the guests at the house of a prominent American pianist first, then second, was on his way to "dominate the domestics."
"They talked matters over and decided the result that they were such a huge success that a permanent partnership was indicated, and decided on. Since then they have been almost continuously engaged was accepted at Crosby club, London, and since then the twain have been almost continuously engaged."
They are a care-free couple, and when I was ushered into their dressing room at the Tivoli to tell them the twinkle in their eyes that they had been enjoying a good joke. They had just made their first appearance before a Hull audience and were delighted with the way their efforts had received.
Surprise Over a Comparison
Talking about their show, Hatch expressed surprise at the fact that they had been so young. They more famous Colored ductile, Layton and Johnstone,
"I claim that ours is a different type of show," he said. "I have never been able to help but agree with this, for while Layton and Johnstone work in a quiet style, Hatch and Carpenter are always in charge of being the owner still, and occasionally with his hands in his mouth he hisses into imitations of a muted cornet or some other familiar instrument. They seemed thoughtfully to enjoy themselves when telling tales against each other. Carpenter was especially kind he relish recounting how seessick his partner was when crossing the "lirring pond." He muses the voyage that introduced Hatch to oranges; he said, "He had never eaten an orange before we set foot on an orange soil. He was on English soil, he told me he never knew oranges were such good food. He had been afraid to eat anything more solid than a whole thine in the water."
A Piano Story
Hatch apparently enjoyed being reminded of his unsuitable behavior, but he countered with a story of how Carpenter once played havoc with him. "He was treating the audience to one of his firework displays," said Hatch, "when the ivory strips covering the keys began to nearly all disappeared by the time he had played its final chord." "But that was not my fault," remarked Carpenter, the manager of the grand piano from somewhere just for my benefit. He discovered, however, that most of the nice smooth covering of the keys were missing, but determining not beaten was not easy with the use of a tube of secrecy. They did not long last when I got going."
Song Writer, Too
Carpenter is certainly a first class musician, and he told me that he has been playing with a number of his numbers was included in Monday night's program, a quick-fire song, entitled "New Kinds of Dongs" and Hatch, with the acceptable tenor voice, and who has some specially good notes in his upper register. For this reason he is a nonmusician and tecotonal. —D. G.
GILPIN PLAYERS SCORE AGAIN
GILPIN PLAYER
The Theatrical Beyers of the Playhouse settlement took their audiences by storm four nights last week in their little Karmu theater, $38 and Central. They presented "The Em Jae Bees." For the artistic success of the work special praise is due the following cost: Israel扎泽尔 Gordon, Paul Banks, Albert Haywood, Luburda Ellis, Pearl Mitchell, who directed the spirituals; Brownlee Woodford, Olive Hale, and William Harriott.
London, England.—I had the extreme pleasure a few days ago of hearing that popular and very fine singer, George Dewey Washington, on the vitaphone at the Empire, the new beautiful cinema house in Leicester square. Mr. Washington is certainly the possessor of a most extraordinary voice and a wonderful personality as well. I have known him a number of years, and as I sat with intense concentration, I proud of him indeed and of the great success he is having. It is rumored that he expects to visit England next summer. I hope he does, he can't miss it. He is a tremendous pleasure on this side. Among the American artists appearing in Hamburg, Germany, this month are Sam Wooding and band Eddie Mulligan. All three are predeceased. Washington, Kent and Berenice, with Barretto, their clever pianist, are at the Plaza cinema in Piccadilly circus this next week. They are clean, clean and classy dancing act. The famous Fisk Singers, after a long tour and stay in France, are playing variety again in England, where they are performing weekly Godsther, London.
Carpenter and Hatch, whom the big bookies will not give a chance, are busy just the same playing indoors. The boys are indeed a clever team, with worlds of ability and they simply run away with any bill they are on. Dance and Drayton have returned to London after a short provincial tour and will play a few more Stoll dates before heading for the continent. La Red, who came over to join the new popular production, "Virginia," at the Palace theater, has been given her notice and will leave the show this week. As predicted, she will make advance of her opportunities in "Virginia." Therefore, I knew it was only a matter of time before she would be compelled to leave the show. The English Blackbird company with Johnny Nitt, Williams and Taylor and Eddie Hunter were at the Empire, Birmingham, last week and are playing the Hippopotamus, Brad
Luyton and Johnstone are the big-noise this and next week at the Alhambra in Leicester square. It is interesting to see their billing. They are billed in every way over "Wiffle," the big Scotch comedian, who was such a sensation in America at the Palace last year and who will soon be returning to the Palace and I am sure it is most American offers cup to see them billed all over the Williams, another big Keith favorite. Such a thing would certainly not happen in America, even if they were the biggest drawing card on that side. The boys are as popular as ever and having been given the opportunities and advantages to make good, they have certainly done so. Therefore, they deserve all the success they are having.
Miss Norma Davis, one of the dancing girls in "Show Boat," returns to America Wednesday. Miss Davis came to London when "Show Boat" opened in May, and has had a jolly good time during her stay on this side.
The Three Eddie's are playing the popular Palladium this week after a two weeks stay in the north of England.
Miss Ada (Brickleton) Smith is doing a fine business at her little exclusive club in Montmorant. She goes to Paris nowadays and is fast taking the place in popularity once held by Chez Josephine Baker and Chez Florence Jones. "Brickleton is a charming hostess and a wonderful friend," the Four Harmony Kings are at the Croydon cinema this week with a three weeks run at the Trocadero and Royal Empress rooms to follow. The Palladium during Christmas week. Miss Zadice Jackson arrived in London in order to sing over the wireless and record for the Paris festival. Miss Jackson is having a short season at one of the fashionable night clubs in Paris. She will return to London during the holidays, where she has many engagements among the exclusives. Nodel Sissle is playing the Arygle, Brickleton, for the fifth time this year after he plays a month in Scotland before returning to Lon-
Mrs. Emma Layton and Mrs. Leila Proctor left last week for New York aboard the S. S. Olympia and from all reports the ship was at the time of year the mighty Atlantic is very rough. They will return to London for the holidays.
Rufus Greenlee of the well known rugs of Greenlee and Davenport gave a talk at the little St. Martin Lane hotel annex Friday evening, Mr. Greenlee received many gifts, including a 21st "birthday" gift. His party was very much enjoyed by a few of his many friends. A number of the "Show Bout" girls were invited to the party while Jimmie Fergerson East, was much in evidence the entire evening. Messrs. W. H. Berry, George Dosher, and not overlook a thing. Misses Hazel Anderson and Hilda Rogers assisted Mr. Greenlee in making the evening very pleasant for his greetings, entertaining for Carl Van Vechten on Monday evening at their home in Carlton Hill, St. John Wood, N. W. It is expected to be one of the season's finest parties among our group. We are indeed most delighted with our very first Christmas celebration. We are likely friends the American minister and Mrs. William T. Francis of Monrovia, Liberty. A note from them also states they are very grateful to the American minister and enjoying great health as well.
We are wondering what on earth has become of Miss Marian Anderson. Her many friends have looked, have been, and have sent her a postcard, or just a postcard. I wonder how she can forget so quickly those of us who are so very interested in her. Greene and Drayton are a treasured success at the Hipdromic Manchester.
The Three Eddies open in the provinces after a long run in and around London on the Stoll and Grosvenor. Firmingham's two largest theaters will headline Nego artists next week. At the Moss Empire will be the "English Blackbird" company, with Johnny Witt, Eddie Hunter and John Hipopotamus, the Four Harmony Kings will hold the fort.
Scott and Whaley are at the Alhambram, Bradford, with their own revue, "The Bags Prince". Kent and Peter with Barretro and Bernstein cinema theaters next week. Russell and Vilian are at the Stoll cinema house in London this week. I hope my friend, Clarence Tisle, will be the first to feature the beautiful Is Your Son?

REVIEW OF "APPEARANCES," GARLAND ANDERSON'S PLAY
REVIEW OF "APPEARANCES," GARLAND ANDERSON'S PLAY
Truth is mighty and will prevail. As a man thinketh, he is, tight as a snake, and as a man thinks, he is the heart's desire. This is the creep iterated and reiterated in "Appearances," the three-act comedy drama by William Shakespeare, the bellhop and presented for the first time in Seattle at the Metropolitan last night. And Anderson, the author explained in a published foreword in the advertisements for the play, his message is not merely a message to the creature in far more eloquent tone. But it is a worthy effort and the sincerity with which he written will make it impressive to many.
Mr. Anderson's message on the power of truth is presented in a melodramatic and lively manner and is amusing despite its crudities of construction. The scene is laid in a small hotel in San Francisco. Here, like the stranger in "Back" a Negro bellboy with a message of truth clears the atmosphere for the lodgers and turns them on the way to happiness. The story is set in a plot and accused of crime. In the trial, which occupies the second act of the play, his belief in truth is tested to the point that the stands firm and is trumpant.
The outstanding feature of last night's performance was the acting of Poe Doe Green, the only one of an ignorant Albanian Nero with a native sense of humor. His comedy, as poet of the hotel, although a bit overemphasized at times, was a masterpiece. He was the conductor which he was codefendant with the bellhop, he proved himself an actor of more than ordinary perception and talent, and he conducted this witness, a humorous and pathetic figure, was true to life and one of the best written bits of the play. Dario Shindell with a seriousness and sincerity that carried conviction. Others in the cast included Norvell Thompson, Elizabeth Willur, Ben Leenager, Allan Alger, Lenore Everett, Sam Haines and Charles Elder.

NEW T. O. B. A. POLICY
NEW T. O. B. A. POLICY
According to authentic information from the office of San E. Reeving, treasurer and manager of the T. O. R. A. circuit, located in the Volunteer Life building here, letters from virtually all the T. O. R. A. houses in the South and Middle West are arriving daily and in essence are voicing the sentiments of the managers as regards their appreciation and approval of the present policy of the office as to booking schedules. One manager of a Midwest house has written to me, "I am a coon's age. I have before me sufficient advance bookings to allow me to do same advance advertising. I believe that lack of proper advance bookings is the most part, for the more or less poor business that my house, as well as many others, suffered, even with A-1 attractions." From the statement of this manager, it may be assumed that the managers have written in the same vein.
Reports are coming in also from managers of shows traveling the circuit that the new schedule is serving as a method of saving, in that they do not have to stay sending telegrams Monday and continue doing so until Sunday night. The arrangement also allows for members of the shows keeping their forwarding address before the newspapers and other forward mediums.
When interviewed, Mr. Reevin in his modest way said: "I have letters here which speak for themselves, and I am at a loss for words to express my appreciation of the managers' kind expressions and their wonderful spirit of co-generation." And he continued: "I will appreciate anything that might be and regarding the great cooperation of the other officials of the circuit," Charles Turpin, president. S. H. Dmolley, manager of the Washington office, and Milton Starr, representative—and their untiring efforts to place the T. O. E. A. circuit on a solid foundation. All these men have manifested their desire to put the circuit over the top and have spent all their life in the most sluggish, sluggishness and night's morning such things as would be worthwhile to the process and enhancement of the business generally."
With the recent connexion of the Athenian city of Athens, the city of Die West is now perfectly linked up, and the coming year is looked for, and the best in the history of the circuit.
WALTER RICHARDSON WRITES
London, Enland. — Walter Richardson, who is one of the leads in "Virginia," writes that his show is "a dozen shows now playing in London to remain after next week. The success of "Virginia" is largely due to the marvelous performances by Jimine Forssman, Cora LaReedland Walter Richardson."

ACTOR TOO PROUD TO WORK IN FILMS WITH OWN RACE
Hollywood, Dec. 19—Stepin Fetch, Colored actor, has Fox officials and others about the studio wondering whether they are dreaming. For Fetch it has done something that has everybody saying "Is it possible?" From nowhere to the attention of the filming nation Stepin Fetch progressed in a one-step in the past, pitted him on the back, made him a lasting present of his new name and tendered him a salary that can be a conspicuous part in Fox all-colored picture, "Hearts of Dixie." But this week all was not so well beaten. According to the studio's version the trouble begin when Fetch decided he did not belong in a picture made
He does not like to be surrounded by black actors. He prefers to be an actor in a white dress. He is said. One woman represents Feech as a lazy roulette仕郎, along a fence, whose duty in one scene was to play a regretful role. He did not wear a well that he always fell asleep and failed even to do the rising and stretching part of this assignment, this accusation being built up to this bit of business.

STEWARD'S STEWINGS
By SMILING BILLY
riando, Fin., Dec. 23—This working leaves the old man still in the City. Beautiful, but nursing a bad foot, unable to get out of the house and under the care of Dr. H. W. Wooden. Well, such is life in the country; we must take the bitters with the sweets. By the time this is off the press old Santa will have to be in the house, but it is not a happy; and then some will not be so happy, but after all it could have been worse. Every year at this time the house and this time I have been in the country, so when we were kids, and how anxious we would be for Christmas time to come, when old Santa would be in the house. It was the first time to come, when the new everything nice. Well, those were the happy days. But when the smart schoolboy or girl introduced you to the school of the school. Now, I know that the never seemed the same; it is only another day in the year. Had a kid ask me last week if I could remember when the house was being built, having a happy stocking up on Christmas. Well, I want to keep that going by asking the following the same questions: Happy How is the New Year? My New Yorker, John, Lonnie Fisher, The Scribe, Daddy James, George W. Motto, Joe Norton, Doc Blair, Leroy Knox, Allen J. Brown, John and the other people to be only one tent show in the state this year, and that is Silas Green, who will play in Orlando the night of the day. I think this is the best time to be in the large, Silas Will, who has given up the footlights to the house. John Wilson, an old timer, but says he will go back to the stage next season. He says hello to Abe Wright and P. G. Mall sent in care the next month. Division St., above bus, will catch him

Received a copy of the Shreveport Sun this week and I found Jessie H. Owen's column to be very interesting. He has the theatrical column, Holland Hayes, the noted tenor, willing at F. A. & M. College, Tallassee, Fla., the night of Jan. 26. Polks from all over the state will be there to welcome him. Great demand for music for the holidays, but the bad foot caused me to turn down some good offers and I did not get the old band going. I want to thank my many friends for their letters and for reading the Stew Pot from time to time and am glad that you seem to like it. I hope to serve better in the year 1929. A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all, Phil Dorsey and English owe me letters. I wrote him about the old job, and never heard a word. You will always find the W. G.

TIMELY TOPICS
The Old Year and the New
Balls a-tolling, whistles blowing; Sidewalks packed to overflowing; Happy young folks, laughing, shouting. Give a long year old hoist-rouling route; With but scant consideration; Greet the New Year with elation. Thoughtlessly they're rushing to it; Thoughtlessly they're rushing to it; Many there will live to rue to live to. Others there may not pursue it. Thoughtlessly they're will share its glory; Their lives will share its smile on Youth. The trade's a true Swap the old year for the new one. Balls a-tolling, breezes signing. In the night the old year dying.
Something to Think About
Christmas is the greatest of all holidays. It represents, solemnizes and commemorates the day the Christ spirit was born into the world. The spirit is best humanized and civilized influences that have been born into the world to redeem mankind from error. It is up to each individual who has chosen the gift to be crucified, changed from the cross of our selfishness as was the Man who ushered the spirit of Christmas into the world. If we eat more Christmas than we drink more, we are not if we drink more than is good for us, we are crucifying the spirit of Christmas. If we give and the gift is not accompanied with our love, affect, or sacrifice, we are not true to the word of Christmas. If we measure the value of our gifts by what we hope to receive in return we are traitors to the Christmas spirit. If we value the presents we receive by the Christmas spirit, we cost the donor, we cost the Christmas spirit. The most valuable thing about a real Christmas gift is commemorative value. If we want to be happy and to make others happy, our gifts must be prompted by a spirit of love and selflessness. The Christmas gift is a family, relatives and friends, but the gift includes human family, regardless of race, creed or color. How much you get out of Christmas depends upon how much of the best of
much you get out of Christmas depends upon how much of the best of your self put into it.
It is not to be said that the process should prompt us to begin the new year with a kindler and more tolerant feeling towards all mankind. Kindness and tolerance will pay a larger dividend at the end of the year thus with a more richer time of life. It is not to be said that the process is not to be a very richer one in spirit, soul or conscience, but after all, the solace one derives from having done right is the only worth-while earthly happiness one is.
Let us begin the New Year with a fixed resolve to be kinder to our family, our relatives, our friends and to the stranger whom we may meet. Let us kinder to our family, our friends and to the stranger whom we may meet. Let us be so kinder than the people who are not faultless so then it should follow as a natural result that we be more tolerant with others who have faults. We need not change our way to our future and to our own evenness to catch the other fellow's viewport.
It is not so much the act as it is the motive behind the act that should help us to be said in order to be about to do another an injury there isn't much to be said in defense to such a person. We do so many thoughtless hims and so many thoughtless words that cause both a desity from the quality of life. Let us resolve to be less selfish. Selfness begets selfishness. The person who lives for himself only will sooner or later awaken to the other life. It is not to be so much as to be a greater relationship than to be a greater relationship than to be a greater relationship than to be a more difficult one. We should less focus on the circumstances we should help the needy. Until we can truthfully hold ourselves to be clean and without sin, we should be slow to condemn others, they are a person who is not a person who is not a person who lives in a world of vanity. It is not to be so much as to be his inferior. It was not possible for any man to be His equal. He expressed contempt and hatred for but one class of men, the hypocrites: all others he held to
Slavery and poverty are the greatest menaces to happiness and civilization. The spirit of the lowly Nazareth has done more to wipe these curses from the face of the earth than all other influences contribute to loving heartbreak. The spirit of Christ, spirit, those who are drawn to and to the peacemakers. The spirit of Christmas should lead us to do likewise. Christ is the inspiration 'that is leading the peoples of the earth forward to a higher and higher standard of living. For this we owe Him an eternal debt of gratitude and there is no better way we can repay the debt than by good deeds and exercising kindness and tolerance to those who are suffering.

She showed an unchallenged appreciation for exceeding her years of experience holding the absolute attention of well-known musicians who what a young person our group was able to do with such a program. Her work was most astonishing in B flat minor gave the pianist an opportunity to show especially in the first and second movements, and in the last movement and a continuation of scales in most every key. The familiar song arranged by Llust, was another beautiful number, with a familiar air arranged by Llust, was another beautiful prelude. The entire program was a credit to the teacher and the young pianist from the past.
The Hayes school rendered a very exceptional Schubert program, afternoon. The writer was unable to attend, but wishes our renders to know that the children have made a splendid mark and there are some exceptionally gifted children who attend the choir and Congregation Wendell Phillips high school schooling. Wendell Phillips high school schooling under the direction of Mrs. Mildred Bryan Jones, director of music in the school, and then going on to hear young people sing and demonstrate their talent for acting, impersonation and their competence was most creditedly rendered.

"She sang an arfa. 'O Mio Fernando,' from 'La Favorite.' an opera by Donizetti, with orchestral accompaniment, and showed a voice of great dramatic power, full, rich and flexible. It was responsive and equal to all demands she put upon it. When I were a freshman of the arts, was the satisfaction of the way. The applause, she received was thunderous, and she was called back again and again to bow her acknowledgement. Later she appeared in a group of songs with piano accompaniment, and in these, too, she thrilled her hearers. The simplicity of sentiment of Griffes 'Night on Ways' I'm known Ias Fallen, the repose with which sheานbauer the sincerity of it. I will sing in the memory. In the Quilter 'Love's Philosophy,' which followed, she proved that in lighter, gayer moods her voice is still beautiful and under control. As for the two Negro spirituals scheduled and the two additional ones given as encores, they would seem to be above approach. The texture of her voice and the sustained tone was so clear.

Lyric Theater
The Lyric theater is at present running only pictures, probably due to the chain of bookings being some-
that disconnected. Notwithstanding they are at all times ready to play any road attraction coming this way. William Benbow will get the first say-
so of the season for a week's engagement at the Lyric, beginning on Dec. 31. Every kid is talking about the coming of the big show with Sidney Rink and his educated mule. One time Sidney Rink was the animal trainer in chief with the Al Garnes circus, the greatest wild animal circus the world has ever seen. Through conspiracy, due to prejudice, he is not with the greatest all wild animal shows. His command over dumb brities is as strong as the control of a well trained teacher and he will demonstrate them with the Benbow show when they fill their engagement there, en route to Hawaii, Cuba, Besides the popular William Benbow, there is Margie Cohen a little heavy set, but who can strut her stuff; there is a chorus of 15 well-trained girls who say "Instead of going to the islands to look for beauty take a glance at us."
Skydome Theater
This is another theater located in the heart of the district. Their policy has always been moving pictures. It is located on 12th St., between Third and Second Aves. The Sky-dome has for several months been used for prize fights. The manager is courteous and every one in that particular neighborhood is a fight fan. In past days the fighters have been deprived of their money and many refused to fight when the going rang if they had not received their money in advance, always fearing the I. O. U. The manager assured the audience that every fighter would receive his money regardless of the attendance. This brought hearty applause.

The largest crowd that ever be on hand New Year's after beaten only by Howard and Tue the Prairie View State Normal of the Texas fans who are Southwest.
All Houston is excited. All Texas is excited over the outcome of the game.
The intersections clash will be to an end the streumus grid season for both squads.
Both View after invading two backcamps, scored on them in the first quarter of Langston university's eleven of Oklahoma, came back in the second period, urged on by the student body and went into the lead and forced to the front in the third quarter to have Langston tie in the closing seconds to win by successful forward passes. Prattie View was then beaten by Bishop and by Wiley.
Prattie View lost by Wiley in the tie after leading the Wilkens. Their only consideration in that game was that they pile a larger score on the Texas conference champions than any other team, caused by the showing of his himel backfield, Jimmy Law, for four years the idol of the university. Prattie, and that by Fritz himself, got hurt and made some changes.
Banks was yanked out of the top end P. M. Williams, the head coach, and given Banks' Giorgio was given a chance in the backfield and Marks was shifted to half while Sheton Mason was placed at fullback. Prideville from Sam Juska, a sea of mud and later defeated Paul Quinn. Law seemed satisfied that the shift brought results, but no man is certain that he will start the game. All eight will get a chance to play Atlanta. With McMorris and others to assist him, Law has been drilling team on a defense. He will attack which is diagnoous and which swept Talabdone off their feet in the first quarter and gave A. L. a victory. Coach Alberts plays of attack, although he is only known, will be running off tackle smack which he will couple up with a dazzling forward paws drive. The big Atlanta coach is counting on Stanley, who will McPherson and their stuff.
Almata has some might good friend in Shaughter and Pierce, the latter who learns to play the guitar. She also has a crackerjack end in clay and a smart center in Robinson, with Lamar and Simmons as guards, Lamar having a backpack against Pride View and knows the style of the Lawn. The starting group for Atlanta university will most likely follow: Smith end; Pierce, tackle; Simmons, guard; Robinson, center; Shaughter, guards; Lamar, tackle; Clay, backpack; Blackburn and Jones as harves, and Wiggins at full.

Alen will then have Stunley, Pherson and Maise to substitute in the backfield by body, Thornton, Gray or Ramsey into the lineup any minute he sees a weakness in the forward wall.
Law's starting upie will be Stunton, end Williams, tackle; Bates, Punter; Carter, Singleton; tackle; Elison, end; M. Loyas quarterback; M. Cason and Captain, Martin toaves with Grego at tailback.
This leaves Law with Babbins, Sparks, Johnson, N. Lovell Anderson, White and Harrington as first string

The stage is all set for the big fight.
"Word reaches me that Prof. E. H. Eayless is bringing a special train in from Shreveport picking up fans from Wiley and Bishop at Marshall, also fans from Lufkin and Nacogduches." Prof. A. W. McDonald is bringing a special train from Galveston and the number of tickets already sold has reached 500 from the city, while Prof. Cedar Wulton and Dr. Hugh Key is bringing a special from Dalton stopping at Wiley for the Paul Qullin college fans and at Austin for the San Justus college followers. This special will also stop at Emails, Corseian, Mexik, Bryan and other places."
Prof. Thomas Holley and Val Bellinger, the former Lincoln university football star, have engaged five coaches to bring over the San Antonio bunch who are going down "book, line and sinker" on Prairie View if the State normal team flops.
Col. Lyons, mayor of sixth St. in Austin, heads a party from that city and several coaches have been set aside as this special will stop at Giddings and Brennan.
C. W. Flint heads a special party of professional men who are coming on the M. K. and T. special out of Fort Worth.
So you see, the folks will be there. The management requests, all buy tickets in advance and avoid a last minute. The staff will be numbers of white business men of Prairie View, San Antonio, Dallas and Houston have traveled to Prairie View ordered gross after gross of fireworks to celebrate the evening after the game. The big street parade with the entire student body and the Prairie View State normal band will take place about 11. The kickoff will be promptly at 2:30. And that meets 2:30 and no seconds afterwards, either.
Now everything is all set—bring on the teams.
Get your dime ready for next week's issue because we'll have something worth while to tell, just what happened—AND HOW.

Captain Zomphier, who stars on National League doubles during the season, came to a victory. The snuppy and ceeve passing of the winner, connected with excellent shooting, were the key to the victory. Hull and Pierson, high-powered scoring Argus forwards, tilted 12 and 10, respectively. Colines, clogged up the defense, proved with his clever work, while Zomphier and Horne guarded well.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Dec. 27 — (Abcard the Sunshine Special)—Been riding and still riding. Lots of folks in the "Jiu, car"—all going South. Left the cold zero weather and am headed for Houston. for the New Year's day game between Atlanta university of Atlanta, Georgia and the Prairie View State Normal
Down in Atlanta they still have corn. Nice and brown—that makes my color—soothing and you don't bother the water or struggle it down. They have some white "water" that will make you want to tear down the Henderson building. We touch that—too much of it. Powder chains his friends had been molding in the "white" too strong to hold the cold in him. May be they had.
It cost us $3 and some cents to go to the depot in Atlanta. Folks don't seem to know much about the training.
At the hotel about 11 the night before we left we asked the owner what
eleven of Frank View, Texas.
Visions of roses in bloom and the hospitality of the good Texas folks which will greet me tomorrow and how the empty spaces in the old feed bog will get filled out on quail and cream graze and with an occasional breakfast of real duck or a piece of venison stock or a fried rabbit which has been killed that morning.
All this makes up for the coffee we have had living on for the past day or so with a snatch at our cold lunch sandwiched in between.
Such is the gay life of a sport writer that the folks all over the country must know about this game and must have first-hand information.
Expect Conch Long and a number of Wiley folks to come and be going down as Long will most likely be one of the officials in the game.
Next week we will tell you all about it.
NOW our mind delites back to Campbell, we enjoyed Thuringia-Morchau contest and saw the Blue-Field-Morchau contest. Despite the one-sidedness of the score, Morehouse played a jam-up game in the second half and came pretty down the stretch. Blue team score in that half.
But after the game we were piloted around by Dr. and Mrs. J. Harmon Wilson after Cam Posey worked the game and the game was the dinner at home of Dr. Joseph L. Johnson, former United States minister to Liberia.
Yes, occasionally we get out of our own well, that dinner with the big folks. Well, that dinner we forget it well will have to introduce you to J. Harmon.
He was one of the two medical university and was the best in his class. We don't mean that he was the best of Aunt Hinger's chill, but one of the best, meaning, of course, all students regardless of race, creed
He was the first of our group to get the Pla Beta Kappa key at Ohio University to the University of Paris. Run with all these honors and a $3d degree Mason he is still quiet, uninterested, fellow, well met and well liked. Columbus has a few other folks too—the Jacksonians, who own the theater, the Wilbur Kings, the Lord Joneses, the always consider the Ohio capital very strongly. And while we are on Ohio we must forget the power we can lose out President and Mrs. Dundy over at Willerforce, whose home is the center of the social world at Xenia and Willerforce, where we were in Columbus we ran into Dr. Robinson, who ran with the winning Howard relay team in Springfield, where he in the big noise even to the extent that among other things he is deputy sheriff and drives a Lincoln car.
We coloured at Atlanta for a few days to watch the Tu keeperia game and the Alabama State game and while there we renewed our acquaintance with Dr. Brown.
The folks there tell a tale on Bowden that we can't just believe. You know he is a great hunter. Early one morning before sunrise and late in the evening his car came chugging down Auburn Ave, with a young deer and a couple of wild turkeys speeding by. While we were admiring the "big for the day" we were given an caricature. Some of Dac's friends calm he bought his "watch" and then drove off to collect his mark and logged in trees in the woods. Doctor claims his friends have prevaricated, which in our language means that they don't put Dac's friends stick to their story.

Down in Atlanta they still have corn. Nice and brown—that mabaghany color—soothing and you don't need to sit down. They have some white "water" that will make you want to tear down the Herbison building. We didn't touch that—too much of a water. Dowden chims his friends had been embbling in the "white" too strong when they told the fib on him. May be they had. He had 43 and some cents to get to the depot in Atlanta. Folks there don't seem to know much about the trains.
He hotel about 14 the night before we left we asked the owner what time the train left for the North—Nashville and Chicago. He didn't know and didn't have any time table and so we phone the depot directly to phone after 11:30.
The taxi drivers thought it left at 9, others thought it left at 7, so not having an alarm clock, we went to the hotel every 15 minutes to look at the watch.
So at 5:30 a.m. we emerged from under the covers to find the water too cold to shave, we grabbed a bit of water to wash the green's look a armful of taxi to look at the depot.
Despite the fact that we asked to be taken to the Union station, the driver took us to the terminal and we were wrong and deposited us and the steamer trunk and he was off.
It wasn't the road that we wanted, but we could get to the terminal about a half hour later and the agent sold us a ticket and told us the train was two hours later, so we sat down and read.
About a half hour later he tapped us in the shelter and said he'd made a mistake, that the train had come in and gone and that he had looked at the wrong board when giving me the information. Back—we had caused him to—back—and gone he been North, but we were in Dixie.
So we had to go to the other depot—in which we had first asked the taxi driver to take us. The train left there at 9. But they所ooked us storage on our trunk, notwithstanding the fact it had been in the depot but we left Atlanta pretty sore for two reasons: loss of sleep and because the hotel owner hasn't enough budget to place time tables in his hotel. This they would be glad to do.
WHERE the conductor has yelled, "All aboard," and the Western Union messenger is waiting for this copy.
GOING South—yep. The lady across the isle injects her blood since she daybreak. She can't sleep and won't let anyone else.
Some folks boarded the train at the car, by this time the whole car knows their business. Everyone wants to know how far "yer gain" and "how long yer gwine car" but we guess that's their custom.
Overalls and jumpers, calico dresses and car-muffs. Under what they'd wear, "yer real?" You know, some time back, we said after going and coming had been subracted, things were all right and everything was fine. The next guy that tells us he envisions us and these trips we're going to hit him between his eyes.
The folks have to have the news.
Texas College Plans Strong Cage Quintet
Tyler. Tex. Dec. 24.—The Texas college egers opened their season with Alto high school quintet and won 53 to 2. The Texas boys are getting ready for their conference games. English is developing speed among them that will be hard for the other teams to stop. Scott, the slater-floor, scored 17 of the score himself. Simmons, of course, scored 16. The right there to help him out. All these are letter men of last season.
Texas was defeated last year only by Litchon.
Twenty men reported for practice in a series of games they are show splendid form. A series of practice games are scheduled before the conference games.

ALL-GULF COAST TEAMS PICKED BY HUNTER JOHNSON
Haines to Meet Hudson High in Grid Game at Macon, Jan. 1
BY HUNTER N. JOHNSON
Tougaloo, Miss., Dec. 25.
In the picking of an all-Gulf coast team it is very difficult to pick a team that will meet the approval of all the coaches and spectators. This team, of course, should be picked by one who knows the game thoroughly.
One who knows a player of all-occasion has the game thin in action. Third, by one that has seen all of the teams in action.
Below will be found the picked alliances, most team and just why they are chosen.
FIRST TEAM
Purnell, Southern ..... Quarterback
Weems, Straight ..... Right Halfback
Wilson, Straight ..... Fullback
Surtgerg, Alcorn ..... Left Halfback
Burns, Jackson ..... End
Burns, Jackson ..... End
Simpson, Tougatou ..... Guard
Hawkins, Alcorn ..... Center
Hawkins, Alcorn ..... Center
Gross, Alcorn ..... Tackle
Turnpell, Alcorn ..... End
SECOND TEAM
Golden, Rust ..... Quarterback
Singleton, Tougoula ..... Halfback
Brown, New Orleans, Left Halfback
Henderson, Marshall ..... Punter
Henderson, Alcorn ..... End
Green, Tougoula ..... End
Bolden, Straight ..... Guard
Dowell, Tougoula ..... Offensive
Dowell, Straight ..... Tackle
Williams, Alcorn ..... Guard
Higgins, Jackson ..... Center
Purnell is the best quarterback on the coast because he is braint. When he ahead, play safe, when behind he takes chances, he gives the defensive im what they are not looking for. He cool and retains his mental toughness of the excitement. Alert, nothing escapes his vision. Confident of his ability to tackle in the open, plays has confidence, very chesty. These are the necessary things that a quarterback should Pave, and he has them all. He well deserves his position
Weems is the coast's best halfback because he can kick, pass, receive. He is a scrimmage inside that he uses to his tautics. Fights from whistle to whistle, and from goal to goal. What more could you expect out of Weems? Weems is the honor that has been bestowed upon you. Miles is the coast's best fullback because he starts out for his tackle, and if it is not there makes one. On the defense he meets his opponent at the line of scrimmage. On passes he takes the snap and backs him for his tackle, and if it does not let the pass receiver get behind him. He has the pen, the drive, plus the pugnancy and backing him. This is many colleges and does not let the pass receiver get behind him. He has the earned it. Springs is placed at halfback position because he is a quarterback), because of his uncanny methods of getting through the line. He carries the ball twice out of every possible four passes, and is proving side-stepping half as Weems, but squirms and hits the line with such terrific force that it is impossible to stop him without gain. He will be capable of well be can pass with perfection.
Ends—Mary I say that according to my observation we do not have a pair of ends in the conference that really deserve All-Gulf coast mention. My idea of All-Gulf coast ends is the play deems his waiting, this of course is hard for young players to judge when to charge, when to wait,
Macon, Ga., Dec. 25.—This city is to be the mecca for football fans on New Year's day when Haines from Augusta and Hudson high of Macon clash in what is destined to be the high school classic of this section. Both teams are fast and strong and should give a good account of themselves in this game.
Haines had eight games this season, four with colleges, scoring on all of them and beating one. Haines jumped off in front of each college played and was on the court until the last few minutes of play, when superior manpower beat them out.
In Hillery and Golden Haines has two very good best tackles in high school football and many colleges would be proud to have two tackles of their caliber in the game, guard, and Turner and Parker at the ends make up a line that was very hard for any college played to pierce or get
In the backfield the Lamar brothers, Jones, Harris, Boswell, Yuen and Mason were trouble for all teams played against.
Halines record for the past season:
Halines 6, Benedict 25; Halines 2. S.
Nashville Kappas Win From Sigmas, 28 to 21
Nashville, Tennessee. Dec. 22.—In a game featured by long shots and rapid passing, the Kappus tinted the Phi Beta Sigma. 28 to 12 tonight at the Masonic temple. With Dalley and the chapman ringing back the Kappus with angles of the floor the Kappus took an early lead, which was never overtaken by the Shrerms. The Kappus outclassed the Shrerms in every stage of the game. The game work of Kenan, Scribes and Jones.

and how to ward off interference.
He must be able to diagnose plays. Good tackler. Good pass receiver. Good fighter. Fighting these are the necessary things for an end of All-Gulf coast caliber, and these are the qualities they do not have. But we have in the conference, Burus and Turnifeed.
Dyson is the coast's best tackler, and he keeps his eyes on the ball. On the offense is a perfect hole opener. All his backs have to do is walk through and do their stuff after
Gross the coast's best 't tackler for apparently the same reason that the above mentioned. Gross may have the edge on the defense but without a doubt, the best guard in the South. He is a smashing, tip tearing, hard nicking guard. Always takes care of the opponent and blocks pumps after blocking his opponent. Intercepts passes and tears out like a flash. Recovers punts to perfection. Plays hard all of the time. He gets sure that his side of the line is safe before leaving. A clear, manly player. He has earned this place on the All-Gulf coast team. This is the main point for a center. Always gets the signals. A center can lose more games by missing the ball or the team. A god player, both on offense and defense. Strong is a smashing, hard tackling guard, and performs his other
duties equally as well. Gross is undoubtedly one of the best tacklers in the South. Irwiny, charge, flash, certain and confident.

Grand Rapids, Mich., Dec. 20—Grand Rapids has seven major high schools. Only two Race lads are playing football at present, one at South high and one at Ottawa Hills. One in particular, who is best known for Chicago track followers, is Nelson Lemon, who finished third in the national intercollegiate 100 and 200-door dashes this past summer.
Playing at halfback against Catholic Central here, Nelson gave one of his best plays, even seen on a muddy gridiron. Nelson carried the pigskin 14 times, including his chances on punts, passes, kick-offs and through, the line of scrimmage. He also assisted the astounding total of 416 yards. Here is the way he performed: 70.3, 3.8, 5.5, 51.2, 12, 90, 10, 6, 10, 80, 33 yards. He had 100 yards, 90 and 80 yards, respectively. Nelson was taken out in the middle of the fourth quarter. Defender fans should watch for the ball that Nelson for Nelson is almost sure of landing a halfback berth. Catholic was a strong contender forety honors until the game with South, which the latter won. Aurelius Douglas, has starred in every game for Ottawa Hills this season. This is his first year on the squad. He has two more years and should select a teammate. Playing defensive halfback against Creston high, Douglas broke through and blocked Enn's punt through Creston's goal. Ottawa recovered the punt, a great upset, as Creston was favored to win by a big margin.

The Buffalo Lincolnns, a fast traveling white club from Buffalo, N. Y., found the Savoy Big Five "just too tight" Tuesday night at the Savoy ballroom and as a result the visitors lost, 24 to 16.
Despite the defeat, the Lincolnns had plenty of class so much as that the game got to be rather uncomfortable for the followers of the South siders.
The winners are out a bit off on free throws in mushing three, Lifard two and Fisher one.
Lillard's shot put the Savoy team in the lead after two full minutes of the game, and pay on the part of both quintessential fisher fouled burns and Burns made good his try from the tree throw fouled fouls and then a minute later sune a basket. Anowski made a nice ringer and the score stood at 3 to 8, and the fisher fouled a long shot brought the crowd to leap. Moten got loose under the basket for an easy shot and the Savoy's inodell for Buffalo, lurns throw and made it, Jackson missed a chance from the free throw missed the lounge long shot from near mid-court after Fisher's foul and Anowski is free throw on Moten's foul tied the point at 3. A technical foul was missed by the technical foul. Fisher made good the try as the half ended with the score 9 to 8 in the Savoy's favor. It wasn't such a comfortable lead. It was a sure thing that it wouldn't be any cinch for the locals to dillly around. In Jackson in for Jackson for the Savoy in the second half.
Burn's ringer put the visitors in the basket. 10 15 20 25 Anderson a shot at the basket with a point. Lillard and Anderson each caged one and the score stood, 15 to an favor of the Savoy live and died. 15 20 25 One from way past the center of the door that had english on it to hesitate while it rolled around the basket. 15 20 25 The Savoy defense then seemed unable for a few hot minutes to solve the Buffalo attack.

In the game in for Butler, Odell reduced Fold.
The Buffalo team's scoring for the evening had subsided and after Fischer made a free throw Anderson was able to score. Savoy total to 22 and the South sliders started that fast passing, keeping the ball from the visitors who had been trying to score to a game of "who's got the ball" as far as Buffalo was concerned for no matter which man they charged. Anderson made a free shot hand when they got to their point. And in the closing minute of play Rock Anderson made the final basket. Anderson made a free shot on Fisher's foul and the game ended ten seconds later. Monday night the crack Detroit A. made the hair of the western champions.

(Director of Athletics at Tuskegee)
Tuskegee, Ala., Dec. 25.—Colleges of the Southeastern conference figured in one of the most interesting seasons in the history of the game. No college can look back upon its record without finding one or more smirches, a sure indication that the teams were more evenly matched than in any previous season.
On the whole, intercollegiate football among Colored colleges in the South is of as good quality, and without question the play is improving from the seams of players and spectators. The players have also mastered the technique of intricate systems of play. Despite the intercollegiate interest which surround their results, the intersectional clash between Tuskegee and Willeforce will live up to the reputation of the most nerve-racking games scored in the second quarter. Stevenson intercepted Willeforce and ran 38 yards for a touchdown.
As the game went along with one minute and 30 seconds to play with Tuskegee in possession it looked as if the Tigers would win. There was a fumble. Wilberforce recovered, played a few shots and left the field. The fourth try and the point of the ball was on the line. Wilberforce missed the try for point. Score. Tuskegee, 6. Wilberforce intersectional game of importance Howard university, defeated Atlanta university, 13 to 7. It was another of the characterful games of the game. An overexposed youngster, who did not keen both feet in the end zone on a probable probate coast Atlanta university, was another intersectional game of note was the Langston-Alabama State normal game played in Alabama. This game was bitterly contested. A Langston back found a hole in the left side of Alabama State's line and slipped down in the last four minutes of play.
Tuskegee, because of its past history, and looked upon as being among the watched closely. Clark university defeated Tuskegee, 12 to 9, making this the first defeat suffered by boys from Tuskegee. Tuskegee tied Knoxville Tuskegee, 0 to 9, and the agricultural and technical college of North Carolina, the 157th district of Florida A. and M. Fisk was defeated, 13 to 7, and on the following Saturday Morehouse host to the Tigers, 24 to 17, return exhibition game that had no bearing on conference rating, 15 to 9. Alabama State normal again batting desperately, but the Tigers, 24 to 17, Champion Bowl, Montgomery, Ala. Taladega was defeated, 21 to 9. The Atlanta university-Tuskegee football was won by Tuskegee. Thus Tuskegee has completed the remarkable record of 60 games played in six years with only two games in
Clark university, coached by the old Northwestern star, Sam Taylor, were strong, present, defensive and battle fighting. They were at the top of their game against Tuskegee, sending the Tigers to their first defeat in six years in 1986 for a victory over Atlanta university, the Panther team was unsuccessful, finishing the battle on the short end of a 8 to 0 score Florida State to house 7 to 6, and Miles Memorial 2 to 0. In the final game of the season Clark looked great against the Alabama State normal team sending the Hornets down in overwhelming defeat. W. H. (Big Chief) Alison, coaching his seventh Atlanta university team, turned out another great game through the season up to the final game with Tuskegee, losing only to Howard university, 13 to 7, and being held to a 7-1 by her traditional rival. The 24th infantry and wins over Alabama State normal, Talhadee. Morehouse and Clark had naturally raised the hopes of a victory against Tuskegee. However, the Atlanta line weakened under the terrible line crashing of the Tiger

backs and Taukegue won, 10 to 7. The contest was waged with a despair that made 8,000 who saw it feel that there was plenty of glory left for the defeated team. Coach Henderson Johnson of Fisk university agitated, hoping only to Taukegue, 13 to 7. In the conference, and an intersegmental game to Howard University, he was the best line in the conference until her star tackle.

Conch Jacobs' Alabama State Normal Hornets, were well versed in the fundamentals of the game, fast, tricky, clever with the pass and post-setting, a great kick. The Hornets took their highest score at 6-6 the with the topุனகுஷா. That day the Hornets played unbentable football. Against Atlanta university, the Alabama State normal team played real football, but Atlanta kicked the extra point and finished on the long-term score. The Hornets had to be more than the most Merchandise team did not find itself, and the Maroons won, 25 to 6. The Clark game found the Hornets at a low ebb, and no match for the Panthers. Clark won 28 to 0. The Hornets defeated Talladega, 13 to 0. Mr. Memorial college, 24 to 0; Tennessee, State, 6 to 0, and Florida A. and M. St. O.
Morris Brown, with her old coach, Dr. Canady, a former Melarry Medical college star back, at the helm, took on a new lease of life and fairly sparked at times. Morris Brown lost to Morehouse and Knoxville college, and Florida A. & M. College. Tennessee State normal. Miles Memorial college, and started the southern football world on Thanksgiving day by playing Atlanta university to a 7 to 7 the after being non-conceded a possible chance against one of the finest. Atlanta university
Morehouse college was handicapped by a difficult schedule and weakest team in the death of a star player, injured in practice. But under the leadership of B. T. Harvey the team showed lots of toughness in the conference this year. The 24th United States infantry was played to 7. the Morris State. 25 to 9. The Tigers lost to Clark, 7 to 6. Atlanta, 12 to 7, and Tuskegee, 20 to 9. Howard beat Morehouse, 20 to 9. Bluffside defeated the Tigers at Columbus, Ohio, in another intersectional game, 40 to 0. Johnson C. Smith was defeated Talladega college, under W. H. Kintle, did not enjoy the success that had been the result of the Tigers. The team was green. In the Atlanta game the Torundo waged a mighty battle against one of the best defenses in the defense cracked in the last four minutes of play and Atlanta university won, 13 to 7. The Torundo defeated the Atlanta State normal, 13 to 0. Fisk, 12 to 0; tied Knoxville college, 13 to 13, and on Thanksgiving day Talladega fell to Tuskegee.
Tennessee State, also under a new coach regime and with very little litter, has been disastrous season, losing all except one of its conference games. Harry Long, former Milliken coach, and the University of 1924, is the new Tennessee State coach. The season in no way was taken as a reflection of the team, but in fact it seems that he is the Moses to lead them out of the football witness. Coach Byrd of N.C. and M. College football fighting team but just could not win a conference game. A lack of material, both variety and sorrow, nicely handicapped the Florida.
Coach Ford, mentor of Mile Memorial, the baby number of the conference, counselor of the suit opposition encountered in all of his conference games and did not chalk up a single win.

New York, Dec. 24—Kid Chocolate, who won from Juncho Dencio for 10 rounds in the final of Saturday's final in his first off-fit for his own country, will leave these environs with about $20,000, an amount accumulated within the space of five months. Kid Chocolate came here unheralded, making his first appearance in the Olympics and St. Nicholas arenas long until he rose to prominence by winning consistently in his bouts at the Olympics and St. Nicholas arenas, after the Cuban's services when he returns to the States.

PRAIRIE VIEW STATE NORMAL FOOTBALL SQUAD
30 Receive Varsity "H" at Howard
Washington, D. C., Dec. 20. —Despite the meager attendance which greeted the winners of the awards in football and track, Coach West addressed the student body and mentioned the fact that Howard's re-entrance to the C. I. A. was beneficial and would serve as an incentive to resuscitate the waning spirit of athletic competition in the university.
After reviewing the season's games he remarked that C. I. A. A. teams were beatable, hence students should back their various teams and fight for the coach's master. He announced that track season was near and he expected over 100 candidates to report for preschool competition, that for every ounce of energy in winning the C. I. A.

Dr. P. P. Davis, president of the board of athletic control of Howard University, announced that Harry Webb had been elected captain for the next football season and Lots Williams for track. Captain-elect Webb spoke rather briefly and paid tribute to Dr. Charlie West, who accomplished almost the impossible by grooming a demoralizing Howard team to the edge of a national championship. Baxter Don Goodhall also emphasized the need for more team work and intramural athletics.
The following were awarded sweaters, certificates, letters and gold footballs: Marshall, Mack, Young, Hawkins, Hayes, Coles, Puye, Saltie, Simpson, Sayles, Stokes, Drew, Webb, Dan Brown, Captain Ross and Manager Conner.
Tarek letters were awarded Archambeau, Harris, Lightfoot, Williams, May, Patty, Walker, Captain Langston, Elijah Williams, Miller, Gaunt, Young, Stevenson and Jones. The freshman emblem in basketball for the past season was awarded to Fisher, who hails from the Smoky City.

Howard Cagers Have Hard Schedule; to Play in South
Washington, D. C., Dec. 20.—Howard will be back on the court again this year with a strong quintet and with an unusually heavy schedule that begins with a five-game tour through the South an Jan. 1. Coach John H. Durr is is preparing them for the stiff opposition they will be forced to meet this season due to the re-entrance of Howard in the C. C. game. They will be on his schedule, meeting some of the best teams in the country. With Captain Freak Wood, Taylor Williams at the head of the offensive power and Hinton, Harris, Forsythe, Fisher and Hill on the defense, Burke and Williams at the head of one of the best Howard has ever had, and the return of two of the veterans from last year's team in January will be well fortified with material.

Nassau, Tenn. Dec. 16—Playing their first game against what the early dpo rules as one of the strongest in the league, the Alpha social club of boys, gave the Alpha Alpha team a good touncing here tonight at the Masonis temple. The team has a final score of five straight points, with Ralph and their captain doing most of the shooting. Hiself was nearly over before that combination, Barker to Fanney to Faulkner, began to function, and at the half the F. O. R. S. led by five points, never relinquishing the lead over the other two. It was to 27. Kappa Alpha Psi is the F. O. R.'s next opponents.

EORGIE DIXON EASILY WINS FROM WALTER CLEGHORN
By BILLY STEPP
Portland, Ore., Dec. 20—it was a week before Christmas and all was well—many children are happy, but the happiest boy in town is none other than George Dixon, middle-weight, who revenged himself by handing Walter Cleghorn, the Eskimo from the shores of Puget Sound, a two-fisted thrashing in their 10-round boxing contest at the armory arena Tuesday night under the auspices of the Cheer Up club. Dixon looked like a champion in his easy rhythm, but he played a playmate from up north, and from the first right that he shot and kissed Cleghorn upon the chin, in the opening canto, until the final second. Georgia was boss of the George von six of the 10 rounds. Cleghorn didn't get a shade in any of the other four, which were even, in the plucking plenty of damage in the Eskimo.
In the first round they exchanged punches and Dixon ducked a right flick to the right flick on Clechborn's chine. It rocked the Eskimo to his heels. His knees sagged and he almost wished to the right flick to the right flick on Clechborn's chine. The flick might just as well have ended there, as Dixon was master of ceremonies the remainder of the game. Clechborn stung Dixon with a right hook in the second, and it spun the Colored cyclone to the rear, and the lightning with both hands and stopping any hurrier that Walter had hopes of starting. The fight progressed Dixon heft a steady tattoo of left hands upon Clechborn's left eye, until it stood out. From the fifth to the finish Clechborn was the target of straight left to the eye and right books to the nose and his mouth and claret in buckets. The decision was just a matter of record, as far as rendering it—all we can see and the score now stands, one we each and a draw in three fights.
