Results of Tuesday's primary election, with a few notable exceptions, reveal that the Negro has suffered many losses which only the slow passing of time can blot out. The re-nomination of Arthur R. Robinson, reputed beneficiary of the Ku Klux Klan, the defeat of Thomas H. Adams for governor and the possibility of selecting F. E. Schorteter in the state convention as a result of the undecided race for governor, are bad omens for the welfare of Negroes in the nation and the state. The failure of William W. Cooke to win enough votes to send him as our representative in the state assembly is a loss which only many days and nights of regret can wipe away. And again we have lost our opportunity to have representation in Indianapolis. The victory of Senator James E. Watson over Herbert C. Hoover of Palo Alto, Calif., is another loss to the Negro race. Hoover's undisputed strength has been broken. His nomination in the republican national convention is now doubtful, in spite of his remarkable victories in other states, and there is an immediate possibility that Indiana's 33 delegates will go to engineer the nomination of a favorite of eastern interests and the farmers of the middle-west. In the county elections, we have won a few victories which will have a direct hearing upon our status in the county. But, all in all, we have lost heavily, in the defeat of Gilliam, Adams, Cooke, and Herbert Hoover. Vote Shows State Stupid That Indiana is not ready for a house-cleaning in its state and national politics was clearly shown in Tuesday's primary election. Swept into office by the same forces which have disgraced and dominated the state so long, the nominations of Robinson and Watson and the prospect of Schortmeier's selection in the state convention signify a loss to the Negro race of adequate recognition and opportunity, equal rights and privileges. But Lake county is to be commended upon the way it voted. The result in Tuesday's race shows that Lake county wanted a thorough clean-up, a new deal, even if the rest CARD OF THANKS The family of Mrs. Willie Carr wishes to acknowledge with deep appreciation the kind of expression of sympathy shown by our friends in the death of our mother. Lenox Millinery Holds $1 Day Sale The Lenox Millinery located at 715 Broadway, on Friday and Saturday of this week, will hold a dollar day sale on smart hats for women and misses. The outstanding feature of this sale will be the display of the latest creations of smart styles from New York, Paris and London, which will be offered at drastic reductions during the sale today and tomorrow. The Lenox Millinery is known among the housewives of Gary as one of the best places to find hats for women and misses, and their policy of courteous treatment to all, is commendable indeed. It is this policy of courteous treatment to all, and its policy of service and honest dealing that has won for this store the enviable success which it enjoys. They maintain a large sales force who serve you with a smile, and who always take time to help patrons in the selection of hats. The fairness of this store has won for them a large number of friends among the colored folk of Gary. The GARY AMERICAN INDIANA'S GREATEST COLORED NEWSPAPER GERMAN NEWSPAPER CARRIES ARTICLE ON NEGRO ARTISTS Man held on Charge of Double Slaying (By Associated Negro Press) PORT GIBSON, Miss., May 10. —Rufe Stevens and Alies Shelton are being held by the authorities charged with the murder of Durg Duncan and wife in Claiborne county, January 20 without bond to await the action of the grand jury. of the state did not want it. Adams, Hoover, Gliomil, Cooke, Kyle, all ran splendid races, and the fact is a compliment to the voters of the county and to those who supported them for nomination for their respective places. But, even so, the allegiance of Negro voters in Indiana to the republican party may undergo a radical change in November which may constitute one of the most militant revolts in party allegiance that he nation has ever seen. Only time, bringing with its paring, the developments in the state convention and the republican national convention, can tell. Committeemen Defeated Six candidates for precinct committeeman in the third, fourth and fifth wards who were members of the "famous" Precinct Committee men's association were defeated in Tuesday's primary election. Unable to overcome the opposition brought to bear upon their candidates, the six to be defeated were Willie Skaggs who lost out in precinct 34; Frank Henry, who was defeated in precinct 31; S. J. Morgan in precinct 33; Tom Young in precinct 43 which was successfully won by Harry Gray, and Jessie Dungy who was defeated in precinct 44. Setting the pace for other precincts in the city, the forty-fourth precinct went over the top for the regular republican organization candidates in Tuesday's primary. Credit is given to Mrs. Marie M Cooke, committee woman of this precinct, for the following showing: Kyle, 88; Vincent, 152; Martin Smith, 151; Cooke, 152; Hoover, 140; Daniel Smith, 109. The total votes cast in the precinct were 320 Loaes By Two Votes Almost nominated by his friends and personal supporters, Clem Hill 1616 Washington street, who was a candidate for precinct committeeman in the 34th precinct lost by only two votes to the victor in the 34th precinct. Many Slates Put Out Many slates recommending voters to vote for certain candidates were put out by campaign workers in Tuesday's primary. The U. N. I. A., of Garveyites, circulated a state urging voters to vote for E. N. Bunnell for sheriff. Herbert Hoover for president, and Edward M. Bacoun for Victory of Arthur Robinson Held As Calamity state representative. The regular republican party organization in the county circulated a slate with the names of the present five state representatives in the assembly printed thereon and also that of William W. Cooke as recommendations to the state legislature. A report, now current, however, is to the effect that Cooke's name did not appear upon the slate put out by the republicans in the solid white precincts where no Negroes cast votes. Attorney Louis S. Sperling circulated his own slate in the interest of the nominations of William "Bill" Bailey for sheriff. F. E. Schortmeier for governor, and himself for delegate to the state convention. He failed to recommend a single candidate to the state for the assembly, although two Negroes were seeking the nomination. COMMENCEMENT AT TUSKEGEE TO BE MAY 24 Dr. Robert L.

Cooke, the first colored man to make a serious race for a seat in the state legislature, was receiving congratulations today upon on the splendid and spectacular showing he made in Tuesday's battle at the polls. Although he was not nominated, Cooke came near of being victorious in a race with twelve contenders for Lake county's five seats in the state assembly. Received 6,180 Votes Showing a surprising showing of strength at the last minute, Cooke received a total of 6,180 votes, or nearly enough to elect him. This was considered as a remarkable evidence of Cooke's strength by political dopesters throughout the county. Edward M. Bacoyn with whom Cooke competed for the colored vote in the county, received only 880 votes. Many factors played a part in the results in the races of both contests. While it is conceded that Bacoyn got many white votes, returns from predicts in solid white neighborhoods reveal that Cooke received by far the largest number of total white votes, in addition to receiving a majority of the Negro vote NEGRO FLEEED O DEAL BY W Man Borrows $400, bu $3,000 As Result of Worked By New (By Preston News Service) NEW YORK, May 10. Negro bankers and financial leaders throut out the country are constantly trying to teach members of the race the great need of banking institutions of their own. They have pointed out time and time again how race people are being fleeced by money lenders. Common Occurrence The case of Isaiah H. Porter is typical. In court here Thursday it was testified how a loan of $400 from John McGrew finally cost Porter $1,000 in cash and $2,000 in damage to his furniture offered as collateral. Porter testified that he obtained the loan a year ago, agreeing to pay $100 interest. Falling behind in his payments, he told the court a chattel mortgage on his furniture was renewed for sixty days by McGraw in consideration of another $100. Again unable to meet his obligation McGraw, accompanied by a city manwhal, went to his home K.P.'s in New Orleans Hold Annual Meeting (By Associated Negro Press) NEW ORLEANS, May 10 — Pythians of the state of Louisiana held their Forty-ninth annual session in this city at the Pythian Temple last week. Grand Chancellor Green opened the convention with an address. Throughout the meetings there was a variety of speeches on subjects of vital importance to the rank and file of Pythians of the state. A large class of candidates received the past chancellor's degree which was conferred by Mr. Green. in the county. Bacoyn was endorsed and supported by the nefarious Precinct Committeeman's association, six of whom were defeated for re-nomination, and his name appeared upon the political slate of the Universal Negro Improvement association and those of other candidates for sheriff and county recorder. Cooke was a compromise candidate on the slate of the regular republican county organization, but it is said that his campaigning in all parts of the county won him the largest following of friends. His remarkable showing Tuesday in the face of opposition on many sides and despite the fact that there were twelve candidates in the field for just five seats in the assembly is regarded as indicative of a prophecy that he can win out should he aspire to run again.

Storage Bill Added Porter said McGraw then obtained a $460 judgment against him, to which was added a bill of $200 for storage of the furniture and $145 for interest. Porter said he finally accomplished the return of his furniture only to find it badly damaged. Porter is a salesman. During the loan shark hearing many other persons told similar stories about having been fleeced out of her homes, furniture and other valuables in dealing with loan companies.

Speaker Urges Need of Co-operation Among Colored Lawyers Over Entire Country; William C. Matthews Eulogized Witnesses In Granady Case Afraid To Testify In Election Murder (By Associated Negro Press) CHAICHOO, MAG. 10-19. -Rev. William Stewart, pastor of a local Baptist church, was held in custody upon the orders of Coroner Wolff, a member of the Thompson faction, following his testimony at the investigation being conducted into the death of Octavius Granady, local attorney, who was shain here at the recent primary. Coroner Wolff contended that the minister had given perjured testimony. At the Investigation, which continued here Thursday, Rev. Stewart was called to the stand. He was accused by several witnesses as being the man who had pointed out Attorney Granady who was opposing Morris Eller for the committeemanship of the twelfth ward, to the gangsters who slew him. These witnesses declared the colored minister was a benchman of Ellers though the killers were white. Stewart denied that he was guilty of such action and testified that he was at his home at the time of the killing and that he had not been to the polling place during the day. It was brought out during the cross-examination that Stewart was given a job by Eller as a member of a street paving gang and that he had been on the city pay rho for a year but had never done any work He further testified that he had had several conferences with Judge Eller and Morris Eller, ward committeemen, but not in the interest of the Granady case. He also denied that he had told several people that if Granady was elected he never would serve as ward committeeman. Other witnesses gave testimony in which the names of three notorious gangsters were mentioned as probable slayers. These were Sam Kaplan, an alleged Eler worker, Harry Hochstein, and Benny Zion. Police sergeant Coach again reiterated his testimony that Joe Kaufman was the gunman who first fired at the car in which Granady was riding. The district is on the lower west side populated by recent immigrants to Chicago. It is in the so called "bad lands" where gangsters abound. Hamilton C. Cross, Granady's cam-paign manager told the coroner's jury that Negroes in the ward had been intimidated by threats of violence if they testified and that for this reason many of them had refused to testify. In spite of the muddled testimony the jury and the Chicago Bar association, which is assisting in the investigation, are hopeful of finding the slayer of Attorney Granady at this sitting of the jury. SHREVEPORT, May 10—Powring gasoline on the feet of Willis Straction, Negro youth, who afterwards suffered severe burns when someone touched a match to it, was a cheap prank for Jack Bruton, white taxi driver.

TRADE AT HOME WRITER URGES Tendancy of many To Purchase Merchandise Out of Gary Seen As a Bad Policy Every public spirited resident of Gary who has the best interests of the city at heart should confine his, or her buying to the city of Gary. The present tendency of so many people to buy merchandise in Chicago, is not productive of good results. Everyone who is interested in the development of his home town should trade at home and lend every ounce of his support in order that the town might be more progressive. Buying at home is the most reliable policy, because in addition to getting dependable merchandise, you also get the good-will of your home town merchants. When you spend your money away from home, you are contributing to the support of some other city. When you spend your money at home, you are helping to build your home town, and your money comes back to you thru the medium of circulation. It comes back to you in wages, in municipal improvements and in many other ways. If the city of Gary is good enough for you to live in, then it is not good enough for you to spend your money in? Why not this week and every week "buy-at-home-week" and help to make Gary the foremost city in the state. Another dangerous walk of life is that from the parking place to the office.

Jones, president of Wilberforce university, warned delegates attending the general conference of the A. M. E. church here today to stay away from modernism. Modernism and fundamentalism as religious issues have no place in the councils of the African Methodist Episcopal church. Bishop Jones declared. The conference of the church is being held in the Eighth Regiment armory and 35th and Giles avenue. "Negroes should be more interested in the "unity of the church, unity of religion and the unity of man." Bishop Jones asserted. In his address, the speaker pointed with pride to the increase of memberships in the church, to the expansion of the church's program, in Africa, to the growing intelligence of its congregations. He blamed oppression of the Negro in the south as causing the great migration of farm workers to northern and middle-western industrial centers. Realtor Wins Suits LOS ANGELES.

Although she eats more, she still keeps slim. THE girl who is away at school or college for the first time has many new problems to face, not the least of which is the proper care of her health and beauty. She is required to spend a certain number of hours each week in athletic work and there will be lectures on personal hygiene; besides this, she has her own notions about what is necessary to do in order to keep herself looking and feeling fit. She has, perhaps, started in with enthusiasm to follow out the suggestions for maintaining physical fitness that are offered by her gymnasium teacher and her college physician, but before long, it often happens that her good intentions become sidetracked if they have not been reduced to a definite schedule that she may follow mechanically. Beauty Schedule. It is so easy to put off doing a thing when something more interesting comes along to claim one's attention. Even when one does make a perfunctory motion towards managing or brushing the hair or taking a morning cold shower and setting-up exercises or any other details that should find a place in every well-planned beauty program, one does so grudgingly and the results are not very encouraging. It is necessary to put enthusiasm into beauty culture in order to obtain the best and quickest results. The ideal beauty program is not cumbered with superfluous details; it is simple, effective and condensed into as short a space of time as efficiency will permit. There is no virtue in dawdling over it, but, on the other hand, no part of it should be slighted. While the cultivation of personal beauty is not the sole aim of life, it is an important element that no one can afford to neglect. We shall begin with the evening section of the college girl's beauty program. There are so many attractive toilet articles on the market that it is hard to resist buying and trying them. Young girls do not need a great many kinds of creams and lotions, however; a few well chosen ones answer the purpose better and are less of a drain on one's allowance. If powder and rouge have been used during the day they should be removed at bedtime with cleansing cream. Apply the cream and massage in gently, leave it on for several minutes, then wipe it off a clean, soft cloth, a piece of absorbent cotton or a tissue square. Next wash your face with warm Man Sized Meal For English Girl English girls eat more than American girls, according to a London hotel and restaurant manager. "The American woman does not order a luncheon—no more than a sandwich, a little chicken, perhaps, and always ice coffee or ice water," he says. "I call that a breakfast. "The English girl is sensible, she catches heartily and sometimes more than a man." AUTHENTIC FASHIONS BY KLINE'S, Inc. water and pure Castile soap, working the lather in with a complexion brush or your finger tips. Rinse the soap off in warm water and then bathe the face in cold water for several minutes. Soap particles left on the skin after careless rinsing make the skin look rough and chapped so that face powder does not adhere to it smoothly. If the water you draw from the faucet is "hard" it is a good plan to soften it before bathing the face. Use a little oatmeal (raw) or almond meal tied in a bag and soaked in the water. There is a soap mixture made of powdered Castile soap and almond meal that is especially good for fair skins as it softens the water while cleansing the skin also. It is very important to dry the skin on the face thoroughly after washing. Good Skin Lotion. It is not necessary for young girls to use a night cream. If the skin seems dry or harsh after the bedtime cleansing, a little skin lotion may be patted on. Here is a simple recipe for the purpose: One ounce milk of almonds, half ounce glycerin, one ounce rosewater. Leave this on overnight. Neck and hands may be massaged with a bleaching cream if they need it. The hair should be well brushed and the scalp massaged for at least ten minutes each night. Twice a week a manicure treatment should be included in the evening program. A warm or tepid bath should be the last item on the college girl's daily program. After 9 or 10 hours' refreshing sleep, milady should be ready to jump out of bed, take a quick cold shower-bath and swing into her setting-up exercises. If circumstances will permit a brisk run in the open air may be taken instead of the indoor exercises. If shower baths are not available a sponge bath or hand bath may be taken in one's own room. The latter type of bath is very simple. Just moisten your hands in cold water and pat them over your body. Wet one limb at a time and rub it dry before going to the next. Rub towards the heart, using a coarse, dry towel until your body is in a glow. Twice a week a salt rub may be taken in the same manner. Sprinkle a little coarse salt on the moistened hands and rub the body thoroughly. Rinse with clear water. This rub-down will bring natural color to the lips and cheeks. To Protect Skip. A little foundation cream and face powder may be used to protect the skin. If make-up has to be renewed during the day, cleanse the face with cold cream or oil before applying more powder. An astringent cream or lotion may be used as a powder base for oily skins. Two or three hours a week in a gymnasium do not provide enough exercise for the college girl. In addition she should play out-of-doors at least two hours a day. Hiking, tennis, golf, swimming skating, riding, boating, hockey and other out-door sports belong in her beauty program because they improve her general health and provide the athletic education so necessary for every girl.

New Styles in Coiffures New Styles in Coiffures Mannish Bob Declines in Popularity THE tendency in bobs seems to be toward longer effects. This is perhaps a natural reaction from the close, mannish bobs that some women have been affecting to the total eclipse of their feminine charm. At any rate, bobbed hair is not so short as it was, especially at back and sides. The lengthening of the back hair involves waving, since it can not be allowed to hang straight. When there is a slight natural curl or when the hair has been permanently waved, the collarage may be shaped with fingers and comb in wide, flat waves. The ears either are covered or a lock of hair is curled in front of each. Plain Shingle Banned. The new bobbed collures seek variety at the back of the head. A plain shingle is not sufficiently sophisticated for this year's style. Sometimes the back hair is parted in the middle and the hair brushed forward on each side. Sometimes the hair is brushed in a circular direction around the head with blas waves. The side part is also used at the back of some collures, notably the windblown Bob. Windblown Bob Popular. This bob has a very informal effect and is suitable for the athletic type of girl with a fairly high forehead and fine hair that is not too thick. The hair must be cut especially for this coiffure, since its lines are quite different from those of most bobs. In the windblown bob a side part is made in the front hair, and it branches down the back at an angle. This divides the hair into a small section and a larger one. At the back the hair is brushed away from the part in an outward, upward direction. Flat, wide waves are put into the hair and the ends are brushed forward in points about the brow and temples. Hair of the right texture that has been skillfully cut and tapered from back to front will lie close against the head as though it were sculptured. Raggedy Ann Bob. Another informal hairstyle is the Raggedy Ann bob, which is becoming to the plump little tomboy in such a way that there is a fairly long top layer with shingled hair underneath. To get this effect a circular parting is made around the crown and the hair on top is pinned out of the way while the back is being cut with a feather-edge finish. The pins are then removed and the hair is parted on one side. Where this part ends another part is dropped down to the ear, thus dividing a small, triangular section of hair from the rest of it. This section is brushed forward and cut with scissors into three points. The lowest point hang down in front of the ear and curls up on the checkbone. The second point turns up at the outer end of the eyebrow and the last point curls towards the part. The larger section of hair is brushed backward from the part and swirls around to the opposite side of twisting or the facial muscles, drumming with the fingers, tapping with the foot, inability to relax, sleeplessness, digestive disturbances, excessive talking and various functional troubles which have no apparent reason for existing. AMERICA'S FOREMOST APPAREL SPECIALIST T the head. Thorough brushing and combing will blend the ends in with the hair on that side. The front hair on top of the head should be long enough to mold into one deep wave on the forehead. The ends of the hair on this side are brushed forward on the temples and cheekbones and are then cut into poffs with scissors. A variation of the Raggedy Ann bob that is becoming to girls who look well with bangs may be arranged by brushing the front hair forward instead of parting it on one side. The hair makes a long bang that is cut into five or six points. Swirl Bob. A bobbed coiffure with the hair brushed in a loose swirl across the back of the head is becoming to the girl with rather a slender face and high forehead. The hair is parted low on the left side. One lock is brushed straight down in front of the left ear and the ends curl up on the cheek. The rest of the hair on this side is brushed obliquely downward and backward. A flat, wide, bliss wave is put in and is arranged to dip over the top of the ear. The hair is then brushed sideways across the back in a swirl. The left half of the forehead remains uncovered, but a deep wave dips down over the right side. The wave retreats, showing a narrow section of forehead and then comes down in a second undulation over the temple. The ends of hair are curled up on the right cheekbone. Gaining Weight is seemingly indirect. The direct method to fill out the figure would seem to be eating larger quantities of food, but practical experience has shown over and over again that this is not the solution to the problem. Many thin people have ravenous appetites, and yet they fail to develop well-hait, shaped bodies. A common mistake made by girls who want to gain weight to stuff themselves with candy and pastry which, though conceded to be fattening under the right conditions, only cause indigestion and loss of appetite for wholesome nourishing foods. The thin girl, whose appetite is small, needs gradually to train her stomach to handle larger quantities of food. In other words this digestive organ is in a shrunken state and must be stretched, not by suddenly cramming it with food, but by a slow process of adding a little more day by day to its accustomed load. Nervousness a Handicap Nervousness a Handicap. As I intimated above, the quantity, and even the quality, of the underweights' equals may be of the best, but she may still remain thin and underweight. In such cases the trouble is pretty sure to be nervousness, by which I mean the tense habit of mind and body. It usually expresses itself in worry, irritability, lack of concentration, nail biting, twitching of the facial muscles, drumming with the fingers, tapping with the foot, inability to relax, sleeplessness, digestive disturbances, excessive talking and various functional troubles which have no apparent reason for existing. ```markdown ``` FRIDAY, MAY 11 and SATURDAY, MAY 12 DOLLAR HAT SALE On these two days we give you your choice of hundreds of smart spring hats worth up to $10 for $1 Come Early and Get First Choice THE LENOX MILLINERY 715 BROADWAY FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1975 NOTED CHURCH MEN TAKE PART IN CONFERENCE Notables from All Parts of World In Attendance At General Church Meet (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, May 10. — Prominent churchmen from all sections of the country and Africa and the West Indies, swarmed Chicago in attendance upon the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church which is in session here.

CHURCH TO ELECT FOUR TO BISHOPRIC Much Interest Being Shown In Election of Bishops At General Conference (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO. May 10. -While there is unusual interest in everything that will be done at the general conference of the A. M. E. Church, which got under way at the Eighth Regiment Armory, the one thing upon which the spotlight is most directly focused is the election of bishops. According to the edict issued prior to the meeting, four ministers will be elected to the bishopric. To fill these four places there are scores of worthy candidates. In fact it seems that every state has at least one "favorite son" and some have two or three. Those seeking the places have been hard at work for some time and the campaign literature plan would do any organization credit. Cards are being handed out promoting the cause of this one and that one and pamphlets setting forth the pictures and reasons why several candidates should be elected have been distributed. Among those listed as the "outstanding candidates" are Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr. of Philadelphia, Dr. S. J. Johnson, of the church extension board, Rev. A. J. Wilson, North Carolina's choice, Rev. Noah W. Williams, Rev. Wm. Rick, both of Missouri, Dr. R. W. Mance, South Carolina, Rev. J. A. Lindsay, Georgia, Rev. J. H. Smith, Texas, Rev. S. L. Greene, Arkansas, Rev. Daniel J. Brown, Newark, N.

Rivalling the election of bishops is that of the general officers of the church. Practically every officer will have an opponent but apparently many of the old-offices will be reelected.

Lewis, president of Morris Brown university, Atlanta, Georgia; Dr. Gilbert Jones, president of Wilberforce university, Prof. A. B. Cooper, president of Allen university, Columbia, S. C. The reports showed that the A. M. E. church was operating fifteen colleges in the United States and one in South Africa. Through these institutions thousands of men and women of our group have received an education and hundreds are graduated annually. Plans to expand the work of several institutions were outlined and received with much enthusiasm. Program For Coming Week Following the concert Friday evening at which time Bethel Choir, under the direction of Prof. Jas A. Mundy will render "Handel's Messiah", the convention will get down to business again. Saturday morning, Dr. Robert Moton, principal of Tuckekee Institute, will deliver an address and Saturday night will be given over to the Women's Parent Missionary society, with Mrs. Mary F. Handy presiding. Sunday will find the bishop and visiting ministers filling the pulpits of local churches and Sunday evening a mass meeting will be held, and also memorial services. Conference will convene again Monday morning with Bishop W. D. Johnson presiding. Each day will be consumed by business sessions and the highlights of the evening meetings will be a pageant Monday evening, directed by Miss Mattie Davis. Another pageant, "The Dewil in the Church," by J. S. McCoo, will be presented on Wednesday evening and Friday night the churchmen will be addressed by Chicago's mayor, William Hale Thompson. Much crime, like other things, is charged to people who will never pay. Life for a Chicagogang leader may be uncertain, but he is sure of a swell funeral.

CONFERENCE MEETS IN ST. LOUIS Churchmen Tell What Church Has Done, and Lay Plans for Bigger Program (By Associated Negro Press) ST. LOUIS, May 10.—The general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, got under way here Wednesday morning, with bishops, ministers and several hundred lay delegates present and girded for action. Just what the church has been doing to further Christianity and education in the world was related and plans have been laid for the formulation of a program which will increase the influence of the church and the work of it in religion and education. The conference was duly welcomed and organized Wednesday and the work of the convention was instituted immediately. There was no time wasted in getting down to business and there is a whole lot of business to be transacted before the conference is adjourned. Several prominent ministers have been mentioned as likely candidates for the bishopric and the handwriting on the wall indicated that there will be a hard fight for various church offices. The fear that St. Louis would not be in position to entertain the dele- Gates, due to the storm which crippled this city last summer, was dispaelled the first day. Dr. H. H. Jackson pastor of this Metropolitan A. M. E. Z. church, and his local committee have done everything possible to ensure the delegates of comfortable surroundings and a program that rivals that any other city in which the conference has been held. Delegates and bishops have been aboquent in their praise of the work accomplished by Dr. Jackson and his committee. Of special interest was the report of the committee which investigated the financial department of the church, which showed that the affairs of the department were in good shape and that there had been no discrepancies or irregularities whatever in the handling of the funds. Among the bishops attending the conference are: Bishop J. S. Cairdwell, Bishop L. W. Kyles, Bishop G. C. Clement, Bishop J. W. Wood, Bishop P. A. Wallace, Bishop W. G. Shaw, Bishop E. D. W. Jones, Bishop C. C. Alleye, Bishop W. J. Walla, and Bishop J. W. Martin. Man Sentenced To Gallows Gets Stay JACKSON, Miss., May 10.—A 30-day stay of execution has been granted by Gov. Bilbo to Hines Lotton, who was sentenced to be hanged May 4. A petition had been presented to the governor setting forth doubt as to the condemned man's guilt and asking for commutation of sentence. Leofton was convicted in October 1927 of the murder of Moss Coleman, in Smith county. Meeting at the Hunton branch Y. M. C.

A fixed amount has been set for the club to raise to go towards the building fund, while the remainder will be contributed by the central Y.W.C.A.

OH DEATH WHERE ARE YOU STING? The Week's Best Stories Her Simple Wants. "Man wants but little here below." So ran the ancient poem. He didn't mention woman's wants; Perhaps he didn't know 'em. For even in the hoary past, With all its simples ways, No poet sang of woman's wants In deprecating lays. I'd like to have so many things— ▲ cloak of shining sable; Some diamond-studded dinner rings; ▲ rare old buhlwork table. I want a walnut baby grand On rugs of priceless sheen; A motor car of foreign make; The bedstead of a queen. I want to sail on purple ceas And own the yacht beneath me. Oh, if some ailing millionaire His dollars would be queath me! I want—oh, my! It’s o'clock; My folks are homeward due; And I must put the kettle on And warm up last night's stew. A young man took a valuable watch to be repaired. The watch- maker debated about the price of the repairs, finally agreed that the charge should be half of what the watch cost the young man. In a week's time the man called for the watch. He put it in his pocket and was about to leave the shop when the watchmaker said—"Half a moment. You haven't paid me half of what the watch cost you." "Oh" said the young man, "that watch cost me six months' hard labor." Little Betty had been visiting the city, and when she arrived home she said to her sister: "Margaret, I suppose people haven't such good memories as they had many years ago." "What makes you think that?" Margaret. "Well," replied Betty, "in Boston I saw a number of statues that had been erected to the memory of various famous men." "Madam," shouted the angry neighbor, "that mischievous boy of yours has just thrown a brick through our conservatory." "Really, how interesting!" exclaimed Tommy's fond mother. "I wonder if you would let me have the brick? We're keeping all the little mementos of his youthful pranks—they'll be so interesting when he grows up!" A town girl who had married a well-to-do countryman was asked by her husband whether she would like to have a cow of her own, so that the household could have its own supply of fresh milk. She agreed willingly, and the couple went to a farm to purchase a cow. The farmer, who was, perhaps, less truthful than the majority of his kind, told them that his cow was far superior to any other that had ever lived. As to her milking capacity she gave ten quarts a day. The bride performed a rapid calculation and said to her husband: "We can never use all that milk. We don't need such a big sow. Why not buy a calf?" "Did you ever hear such a horrible discordant, ear-splitting—" Old Gentleman—"Str, that singer is my daughter, and—" Young man—"I was about to say, so such an ear-splitting clatter as those idiots behind us are making? Why, I can't hear a word of the song!" "A steam engine is the child of a loaf of bread," said Jones. "How do you make that out?" insured Smith. "Well, you see, bread is a necessity, and the stream engine is an invention. Necessity is the mother of invention, so a loaf of bread must be the mother of a steam engine." The Way to Recognition.

THE ELECTION OVER The election over and all excitement passed, citizens of Gary may now sit back in their easy chairs and rest. Friendships shattered over differences of opinion as to the respective candidates may now be patched up, and the whole matter may be carefully gone over in a stock-taking fact-finding spirit to discover what mistakes were made and what good things were achieved. Lake county is to be commended for its strong support for the "new deal" candidates in the person of Adams and Gilliam, and for its strong support of Herbert Hoover and Congressman Will R. Wood. The nominations of Kyle, Martin Smith and William Whitaker, as The American advocated, are to be pointed to with pride, and the excellent showing made by William W. Cooke for nomination to the state assembly was one of the most gratifying things to come out of the election. The people have spoken. The result of Tuesday's primary in the county races and the showing made by Hoover, Adams, and Gilliam shows that The American must not have been wrong in advocating their nomination. Even with the growth and expansion of Negro business, the increasing number of Negro "white-collar" workers, and the stories of success achieved by Negro business executives against tremendous odds, Negroes as a whole have not learned very much of the social conventions to be observed in business offices and business places. And the behavior of some of us in daily business life is shocking. Close observation of many colored people when they are in the act of transacting their business matters in banks, public places and in the offices of business and professional people everywhere reveal that we have not learned yet how to act. In the transaction of our business matters, we seem entirely unconscious that there are certain rules of conduct and propriety to be observed, and we too often show stupidity instead of knowledge, roughness instead of polish, and robust loudness instead of good personal bearing. We too often make the mistakes of revealing our business to everyone around by unnecessary loud talking, and we incur the disgust of others by antics more becoming of elowns than of men and women; and we are many times unreasonable in our demands. We often do not know how to get what we go after because we have no idea of what we want or how to attain it. Much voluntary segregation, discrimination and other practices have grown out of our bad behavior in business places, in many instances we should not make complaint of the treatment accorded us, because we ourselves brought about the condition by our ill manners and bum eti- percent of the Engineer's estimate of the cost of said improvement which will be re-reported to the Board.

The figures for lynching for 1927 prepared by the Federal Council of Churches do not correspond with those of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The former are optimistically given as sixteen, while the latter account for twenty-one, giving places and dates. If the first had been true the record for the year would equal that of the optimum, 1924, and be nearly as favorable as that of 1925, when seventeen lynchings occurred. Both, however, show a marked improvement over 1926, with thirty, and the contrast with 1922 and all the years previously for which statistics are available is the most striking of all. It was in 1922 that the Dyer anti-lynching bill, aimed to provide pecuniary recourse against communities which permitted lynching, was passed by the national house of representatives. Though it failed to reach a vote in the senate, the fact of its partial success was in itself salutary. There were fifty-seven lynchings in that year, mostly before the bill had come to a vote in the House, and in 1923 there were but thirty, which number has not been exceeded since. The Dyer bill is an illustration of the value of publicity as a stimulant to public opinion. It constitutes a plain encroachment by the federal government upon a function normally belonging to the states. It nevertheless operated beneficially in two ways—by directing attention to the evil on the part of those who had not thought much about it, and by suggesting to the States which were the chief offenders that unless their citizens adopted remedial measures Congress would be furnished with added reasons for pressing the bill. Abatement of lynching therefore cannot be regarded as a mere coincidence. Yet the threat of federal interposition would not in itself have been sufficient if it had not been that the system was based on an admittedly vicious theory. Open defenders of lynching were few and were confounded by the logic of their opponents, who showed that lawlessness invariably reacts on the community tolerating it. It appears also that improvement has not come about solely as the result of popular sentiment in the States formerly charged with sustaining the practice. Abhorrence in the North has reacted upon the South, as it was bound to do in a nation in which economic interdependence is increasingly manifest. BISHOP HEARS DARROW (Baltimore Afro-American) Mr. Clarence Darrow following in the footsteps of his prototype Robert Ingersoll, has donated his time and talent to the legal defense of the weak without charge. Both men rank high in the list of America's compelling public speakers. Both attacked organization which promises so much and does so little to bring about the real brotherhood of man. As Henry Ward Beecher did not hesitate to appear on the same platform with Ingersoll, Bishop John Hurst was courageous enough Sunday to sit in a Washington audience and listen to Mr Darrow. Before the address started, he told the Afro he would leave at 4:30 p. m. to keep another engagement. Bishop Hurst and Beecher never agreed with the religious views of Mr. Darrow and Ingersoll, but this did not prevent their admiration of the other fine qualities of these champions of humanity. On the question of religion the Bishop and the lawyers are as far apart as the poles, but on the question of race.equality they are in complete harmony and accord. Jharmany and accord.

Before many weeks have passed thousands upon thousands of tired Americans will turn their backs upon the stress and strain of the year's work and go to the woods for the healing medicine of rest and recreation. If trees had tongues, they would. I am sure, turn all these tired vacationists into ardent apostles of reforestation. Here are some of the things I think the trees would say: You have come to us to renew your bodies and refresh your spirits. Your care-free laughter floats through the cool forest air to our singing leaves and swaying branches. But we are a little lonely and sad, for we trees are a dying race. Before your fathers came to carve a new civilization out of our heart, the kinder Indian fought his battles and played his games under our canopies, but he did not seriously molest us. We were a great and growing race. We were rooted in 822,000,000 acres of this land. We were the proud primeval forest. But now, as untouched forest, we cannot cover as much as 140,000,000 acres. There is a younger generation of us growing up—you call these children of ours second growth timber—but these striplings, too often are cut down before their prime, cover not more than 250,000,000 acres. We are dying four times as fast as we are being born again. We had about given up hope of a resurrection of our ancient greatness, but lately we overhear conversations beneath our branches that cheer us. We hear prosperous-looking men of affairs talk gravely of how far from their factories are the resources of the forest, and say they must find some way to avoid the heavy cost of hauling lumber across the continent. We trees are old and we have lived close to the wisdom of nature, and we know that what the argument of beauty may not do the argument of bread will do, and these business men cheer us even more than artists do. I have never met anyone who liked to be ignored—even the most modest and shrinking. The fact is that no one likes to be ignored. For to be ignored is to be counted as one who has done nothing by his abilities, and one who has ignored the most thrilling thing in life—doing something to make others happy. Most people are not so vain as they are thought to be, nor do they do things for personal glory, as so many people think they do. Rather do they do things to attract attention—so that they may not be ignored, or passed by. People who do things are never ignored. Women dress not wholly to please themselves or to rivet the attention of men, but largely to draw eyes their way that they may demonstrate that certain power which they possess, and without which they would indeed be unhappy.

ADAMS The greatest privileges, greatest opportunities, greatest obligations, and the greatest responsibilities known to humanity are those that concern themselves with motherhood. Motherhood is not a choice but a duty, an inescapable duty, because it is God's only plan for the perpetuation of the human race on the earth. It was after God had made woman that He gave to the human pain the admonition, "Multiply and fill the earth," for this was possible only after He had made woman. In this God at once proclaimed and emphasized the duties and the indispensability of motherhood. Motherhood is a privilege as well as a duty, and one that every woman should appreciate. Some one affirms that God chose a woman to "Help Him fashion an immortal soul." Another speaks of "Motherhood; a partnership with God." A beautiful saying is: "God could not everywhere, so he gave us others." Now, since motherhood is God's way, and motherhood is committed to womanhood, what a privilege it is to be thus associated with God in this work upon which the life of humanity depends. But motherhood has its response billions as well as its duties and privileges. On "Mothers' Day," thousands of speakers will exalt motherhood; its virtues will be extolled; its importance will be magnified and its achievements landed. In these addresses infinitely more will be said concerning the privilege and the honor than of the responsibility of motherhood. The responsibilities and obligations of motherhood but begin with the birth of the child, for to motherhood is committed very largely the training of the child. And, on the faithful performance of that duty will depend the usefulness and the helpfulness of the life of the child committed to her care. and benefitted property.

TODAY'S TALK By GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS I have never met anyone who liked to be ignored—even at modest and shrinking. The fact is that no one likes to ignored. For to be ignored is to be counted as one who has done no this abilities, and one who has ignored the most thrilling life—doing something to make others happy. Most people are not so vain as they are thought to be they do things for personal glory, as so many people think Rather do they do things to attract attention—so that they not be ignored, or passed by. People who do things are never ignored. Women dress not wholly to please themselves or to rivention of men, but largely to draw eyes their way that they demonstrate that certain power which they possess, and which they would indeed be unhappy. We are such a misunderstanding lot in this world. Few free from the petty things which bore into character an its strength. I know a man who boasts of his ability to mies. Evidently he doesn't want to be ignored. But, in We are such a misunderstanding lot in this world. Few of us are free from the petty things which bore into character and lessen its strength. I know a man who boasts of his ability to make enemies. Evidently he doesn't want to be ignored. But, in time, he will be. For even enemies pass. When men and women believe in themselves, they magnet attention their way, for self-belief is of the essence of leadership. No leader is ever ignored. Even the humblest worker is noticed. And he is glad that he is. It gives impulse to his every desire and makes him take an unusual interest in what he does. When we are not ignored, we feel that we are being appreciated—which is what we work for in this life, anyway. A Chicago advertising man, after studying business failures in 34 leading cities, announces that 84 per cent of the firms that went under were not newspaper advertisers. That little story points its own lesson. The world may very well make a beaten path to your door if you are manufacturing a better mouse trap than your neighbor, but first of all it has to know that you are doing it. The business head who thinks he can get along without advertising is trying to live in an outworn era—Gary Post-Tribune. "Love him or leave him," says Dr. Herman Adler, noted student of the mind. Wives are told that if they really love their husbands they will not seek to reform them but will humor them as they are. The fact is, as Dr. Adler doubtless will admit, there is little reforming except in youth. A middle-aged person may be battered out of shape, so to speak, but he will be little changed inside. Character is so early in life. RIDAY, MAY 11, 1889 THE HEALTH QUESTION By Dennis A. Bethea, M.D Health Editor of The American THE HIGH COST OF DOCTORING on the earlier days, when the precious little infant may upon the stage of this old world of ours, the neighbor mother presided at the ceremonies. When Johnnie with the measles, he was given copious draughts of tea he stepped on a nail or stubbed his toe, his mother put ice and sugar on the place and kissed it. Never did she heal a boy's foot like a mother's kiss. Every household kept a plentiful supply of home remedies calculated to cure any thing from a pain in your skin on your toe. The doctor was not called until ever and had tried. Then a messenger was sent to tell "O the just as quick as he can get here." In many case a physician would reach the bedside just a few paces undertaker. The cost of going through a siege of illness was, at the very high. Furthermore, this meager bill would often be by the family. In fact many people had a sneaking idea where the patient died, the bill ought to be can postage stamp or a war debt. The result was that a great many folk died and went to the other place, without paying a cent of the doctor.

But so does house rent more want to go back ing our ailments than In the earlier days, when the precious little infant made its bow upon the stage of this old world of ours, the neighborhood grandmother presided at the ceremonies. When Johnnie took down with the measles, he was given copious draughts of teas, and when he stepped on a nail or stubbed his toe, his mother put turpentine and sugar on the place and kissed it. Never did doctor's medicine heal a boy's foot like a mother's kis. Every household kept a plentiful supply of home remedies that were calculated to cure any thing from a pain in your head to a pain on your toe. The doctor was not called until everything else had been tried. Then a messenger was sent to tell "Old Doc to come just as quick as he can get here." In many cases the faithful physician would reach the bedside just a few paces ahead of the undertaker. The cost of going through a siege of illness was, at the most, not very high. Furthermore, this meager bill would often be overlooked by the family. In fact many people had a sneaking idea that in cases where the patient died, the bill ought to be cancelled, like a postage stamp or a war debt. The result was that a great many folk died and went to heaven or some other place, without paying a cent of the doctor's bill. We have the same thing in the case of some church members, for they will shoot their way into the gloryland without paying anything at all for the ware and tear on the preacher's lungs. The question arises: "Will these otherwise, good men and women be ashamed to meet their doctor and their minister on the golden streets." During the past half century, medicine and surgery have made phenominal advance. There is no longer the guess work that there was in former times, for science and art are applied to the healing of the sick. At birth, the skilled physician is on duty to see that the little youngster starts out well. When the little fellow takes down with the measles or scarlet fever, the door is carded to keep other children out. With our knowledge of vaccines, anti-toxins, serums and diathermy, it is almost a disgrace to die with small pox, diptheria or typhoid fever. Epidemics are cut short, plagues are stayed, deformities are corrected and by means of surgery life's span is prolonged. Seldom do you see people remain on the sick bed for long weary months, as in former times. When complicated symptoms arise, the medical man does not have to stand around and just "look wise," but he can resort to the x-ray, the blood pressure instrument, the cystoscope or the laboratory and make his diagnosis to a mathematical precision. Surely, this expert service costs a lot of money, but it is worth every cent of it and then some. But so does house rent or tombstones come high. We would no more want to go back to the old barnyard-poultry days of treating our ailments than we would the ex-cart or the hoop-skirt. (Copyright: 1928: By The Gary American, Inc.) The Glory of Motherhood By JAMES RUSSELL DAVID Sunday, May 13, is Mother's Day. Mother's Day is owed to the year that we have dedicated to our mothers. They could be.

It was a destyled you to her bosom and shielded you from the rain unforeseen nature. It was she who cared for you when unable to care for yourself, and no doubt there have nights when she lay praying for you and planning to lay. That same mother's love that prompted her to toil and work you then, is just as strong as ever. If you go to War the President of this great nation, your mother will go acclaim her illustrious son. If you are so unfortunate the gallows to be hanged for some henious crime will go with you. She will stand by your side and proclaim world, "that's my child." When the noose is tight your neck, her prayers go up to heaven. She cannot be tears, but her spirit feels those excruciating pains as a living death. After all this sacrificing, it would seem that we have kept the real significance of motherhood. Read your hymn they will tell you all about the deeds of Washington, and other distinguished statesmen, but scarcely a word of these men. No, they don't put mother's name; but that's all right, mother, let them keep it out. Get down on your knees and as you kneel there on your sultations, dip your pen of supplication into the ink mercy and write your own name in the Book of Life.

Mother's Day is one day out of the year that we have dedicated to our mothers. This is as it should be. I know of nothing that we could do greater than to pause long enough to pay a fitting tribute to the mothers of the greatest nation under the sun. Motherhood is the greatest honor that an all-seeing God could bestow upon the human race. Man has done great things. He has girdled the globe, he has sailed the high seas, he has harnessed the mighty forces of nature and made them to do his bidding, but he has never been able, and he never will be able to make a creature like unto himself and endow it with the breath of life. There-in lies the blessing of motherhood. All that you are; all that you have achieved, or expect to achieve in this life, you owe it to your mother. It was mother who nestled you to her bosom and shielded you from the ravishes of an unforseen nature. It was she who cared for you when you were unable to care for yourself, and no doubt there have been many nights when she lay praying for you and planning for the morrow. That same mother's love that prompted her to toil and sacrifice for you then, is just as strong as ever. If you go to Washington as the President of this great nation, your mother will go with you to acclaim her illustrious son. If you are so unfortunate as to go to the gallows to be hanged for some henious crime, your mother will go with you. She will stand by your side and proclaim to the world, "that's my child." When the noose is tightened about your neck, her prayers go up to heaven. She cannot see you for the tears, but her spirit feels those exruciating pains and she suffers a living death. After all this sacrificing, it would seem that we have failed to grasp the real significance of motherhood. Read your history and they will tell you all about the deeds of Washington, Jefferson and other distinguished statesmen, but scarcely a word about the mothers of these men. No, they don't put mother's name in history; but that's all right, mother, let them keep it out. Get down on your knees and as you kneel there on your bench of tribulations, dip your pen of supplication into the ink-well of God's mercy and write your own name in the Book of Life, that it might be a witness unto you on that day when the Lord shall call His own.
