CHARLOTTE, N. C.—What merit and what deception was in the mysterious ministry of the "Black Christ"—the unperturbed, bearded figure whom the Negroes know as "The Bishop" and who, answered on the dockets of the courts to the appelation of C M. Grace, and who moved for months slowly through Charlotte's awe-stricken Negro population—is a question that continues much discussed, but remain unanswered. Grace is a self-appointed Bishop of the House of Prayer, a religious sect apparently originated by himself. The term "Black Christ" is applied to him by the Southern Negroes, who devoutly believed he is the "Son of God" come back in the flesh to purge them of their ills and to save their souls. --- --- FIRST YEAR. NO. 17. LOS ANGELES. — That five thousand Negroes of light color "pass" and become to all intents and purposes white people, was the assertion of Bishop J. W. Martin, of the A. M. E. Zion church, addressing a mass meeting last night of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People now in 19th annual conference here. "Fully five thousand Negroes of lighter hue are forced 'over the line' each year, in order to get a chance to win their daily bread at the kind of work they love best and for which they are best fitted," declared Bishop Martin. "I know the Mayor of a certain town who is a white man now, but as a boy was as good a Negro as the community had, and his brother is to this day a good colored preacher. We want the doors of all professions and trades, of all skilled and unskilled labor opened to us and we want them opened wide enough for us to get in without having to 'pass'. "An equal opportunity to spend and to be spent along with any and all groups in this country is the demand made in behalf of the Negro by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. We want no special favors, no extraordinary kindnesses, no granting of handicaps, but just a chance to shoot from taw and keep on shooting until the game is ended. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has proved its right to live and move and have its being by formulating and carrying forward a program of the highest good for the rich and the poor, the high and the low, the more favored and the less favored alike. "How we colored people live in the United States of America depends upon where and under what conditions we are forced to live. Go into many of our towns and you might lay down the rule that where the pavement ends there the blacks begin. Now this is not of our own chaoeing but is the result of conditions forced upon us. Restricted districts, prohibitive purchase price for houses, exorbitant rents, threats and abuse, are only some of the means employed for adding insult to our already sorely injured group. "When it comes to public parks and playgrounds; leisure and recreation, the Negro is often not even thought of in connection with them; and this is doubly true in that section of the country where we live in large numbers and where the need therefor is greatest. "What we are going to do about it I know not, but this I do know, the fight is on; the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has taken the field, and will never leave until the lives of our boys and girls, of our men and women are held more precious; until we can have a chance to live out all the days of our appointed time. Lynchings and mob violence, ghettos and chain gangs are the result of small value put on the lives of certain citizens of our republic. "The arm of the government must be made long enough and strong enough to reach to the most out-of-the-way place and rescue from the very jaws of death any citizen on short notice. Will it ever come? We will watch and wait, but hustle while we wait." Charges Mate Broke Her Nose ROCHESTER, Ind., June 28.

AL SMITH 'NOT RIGHT' ON NEGRO, BELLOWS SENATOR TOM HEFLIN MINISTER REGARDED AS BLACK CHRIST BY MANY FOLLOWERS HOUSTON, Tex.-A thousand word telegram addressed to A. H. Carmichael, chairman of the Alabama delegation by Sen. Tom Heffin, Tuesday, included a fiery trade against Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York Called "The Bishop" They point to alleged miracles he has performed as evidence of his divine power. He is addressed uniformly and formally as* the Bishop." The Negroes believe in him profoundly. It is the most remarkable manifestation ever observed by the people of this section. Even some white people* have become converts that corrupt institution." Smith Attacked Asserting that Gov. Smith's position on the Negro question, the antilynching bill, the eighteenth amendment and the immigration problem "is directly opposed to the things that are near and dear to the Democratic South," the Alabama Senator said in his judgment "the southern delegates who vote for him at any stage of the proceeding at Houston will be and should be discredited and repudiated by the people at home." "Can the Democratic delegates from Alabama and other southern states support in the convention at any time Gov. Smith in the face of these astounding facts?" he asked.

This establishment the detectives said, was operated by William Lytle, who paid other men for their collections. It is alleged that as much as $4,000 is taken in at the apartment in a single day. The detectives took fourteen others besides Lytle in the raid. GARY, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1928 GREAT FLOOD SEEN BENEFIT BY RED CROSS Permanent Good Will Arise Out of Disaster Permanent benefits accruing to residents of the Mississippi Valley as result of the great flood of 1927 and subsequent relief work, are outlined by James L. Fieser, vice chairman of the American Red Cross, in the current issue of the Red Cross Courier, the organization's official publication. Mr. Fieser says in part: "A big gain has been made in leadership for citizenship and better community life. The tens of thousands of people who worked for their fellow citizens on committees and in camps gained a new understanding of that biblical injunction to be our brothers' keepers. Local differences were submerged. Old empties, prejudices and mis understandings disappeared in the face of necessity and our citizens were welded into new constructive legions under the unifying banner of the Red Cross. This is perhaps the greatest value of the Red Corss. No one fears it. Everyone is for it. If it makes mistakes everyone knows they are not mistakes of the heart. People of every political, social, religious, national, or racial complexion have a place in it. This new civic leadership tackled the most difficult problems of rescue, relief and rehabilitation. It studied every problem and won. These men and women will never be the same again. They will always stand for the best, and with their help every county in the valley will move forward in prosperity, better living conditions and new standards, as has been the case after every other calamity. "Unnecessary disease and poverty are milestones which retard progress. These leaders saw 410,000 people loculated by the Red Cross against typhoid at a time when this filth-born disease was a menace almost as disastrous as the flood. They saw 141,000 people vaccinated against smallpox. They saw 302 Red Cross nurses fightin to preserve health among children and adults. They saw the fight against malaria through use of quinine, crude oil and screens. The saw the attack upon Pellagra through the use of dry powdered yeast and through the distribution of garden seed. They found that where otton, corn, soy beans and alfalfa were supplemented with enough garden seed to insure green vegetables for home use and canning for winter use the strength of the people both as a labor supply and as citizens was doubled and happiness promoted thereby. All of these steps produced better health than in other years. They learned that food from disease and better food and better living conditions resulted in a more contended people and greater production on the farm. "One of the great leaders in southern agriculture recently told me that the seed program of the Red Cross, which encouraged reasonable diversification of crops when it planted almost 2,000,000 acres of flooded land, taught the lesson of not having all of the eggs in one basket, or in one crop, more fully than five years of effort on the part of agricultural leaders in his state could have done. He said it also taught the need for better cattle, hogs and chickens. If this is so, it is a fifth great gain. In any event many people will begin to think of this rich delta country as a garden spot not only for cotton but for many other things also. Experimentation and inventive genius during the next decade or two may conceivably show us agricultural paths which lead to new commercial levels and new money crops. The Mississippi Valley is not only coming back, but it will pass itself on the way to new high levels as the heart of America." Praising the courage with which the people of the south met the emergency, Mr. Fieser declares that another great gain is found in the fact that "adversity has tested our metal and our courage. In the face of great disaster our people have come back with renewed grit and new determination. They have stood the test. The fighting spirit is there, and the nation and the world is proud to shake hands with a courageous people."

'At gal's gettin' so she don't b'lieve nuthin'!" "Humph! Didn't she jes tell me las night she didn't b'lieve they was ever any Adam an Eve?" "Well, I ain' so she they ever was any myself! An' one thing is certain: if that gal o' mine wants to keep on studyin' an' go up there to that City college an' learn how to teach school an' be somebody, I'll work my fingers to the bone to help her do it. Now!" "That ain' what I'm talking 'bout. You ain' worked no harder 'n I is to help her git this far. Hyeh she is ready to graduate from high school. Think of it—High School! When we came along they didn't have no high schools. Fus' thing y' know she be so far above us we can't reach her with a fence-rail. Then you'll wish you'd a listened to me.

The serum marks an advance in that it can be used for all four of the recognized types of pneumonia, according to Dr. Russell L. Cecil of the Bellevue hospital, who has obtained very efficacious results from its use in the pneumonia clinic of that hospital. It works best with types one and two, the two groups that comprise the majority of pneu- "Ain' no sich thing as far enough when you wants to go farther. 'Tain't as if it was gonna cost a whole lot. That's the trouble with you culld folks now. Git so far an' stop-set down—through—don't want n' mo." Her disgust was bouldiness. "Y' got too much cotton field in you, that's what!" The father grinned. "They sho' an' no cotton field in yo' mouth, honey!" "No, they ain't. An' they ain' no need o' all this argin' either, 'cause all that gal's got to do is come in hygeh right now an' put her arms 'round y' neck, an' you'd send her to Europe if she wanted to go!"

There was a rush a delighted squeal, and both parents were being smothered in a cyclone of embraces by a wildly jubilant daughter. "Mummy! Daddy! I won it! I won it!" "What under the sun—?" "The scholarship, Mummy. The scholarship!" "No!" "Yes, I did. I can go to Columbia! I can go to Teachers college. Isn't it great?" Anna's mother turned triumphant ly to her husband; but he was beaming at his daughter. "You sho' is yo' daddy's chile Teachers college?

Cecil of the Bellevue hospital, who has obtained very efficacious results from its use in the pneumonia clinic that hospital. It works best with types one and two, the two groups that comprise the majority of pneumonia cases. The recoveries after its use with type one have been very encouraging, indeed, Dr. Cecil declared, though the deadly type three has proved the least amenable of any group. Pneumonia serums used in the past have been specific for each type. Since certain laboratory procedures have to be followed out before the type from which the patient is suffering can be determined, precious time often has to be lost before the doctors know which serum to give. The Felton serum of mixed cultures can be administered on admission to the hospital and frequently a gain of many hours can be made in checking the course of the disease.

STAR EDITION 5 CENTS PER COPY Gary's Best Edited Conducted Gary Public Library 5th Jeff AFRICA MOTHER OF CIVILIZATION Speaker Credits Negro Race As Great Entity LOS ANGELES—"Civilization began with the brown races," declared Lew Head, former editor of a Pasadena daily, now living in Los Angeles, speaking at last night's mass meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People now in session here, "and civilization will reach its highest achievements when the brown races of the world have first, conceived the need of consecrated leadership; second, sponsored those leaders and third, through them energized an improved civilization on this earth. There is a power in the colored people of the United States that either has not been discovered or, if discovered, has not been harnessed for practical use. "The present civilization has about spent itself. Humanity is on the verge of a tremendous crisis. Just what direction the march of human progress is to take, is now back where it was when civilization started, waiting for responsible, intelligent and consecrated leadership. It is not beyond belief that out of the brown races of the world, over half of its population, will come this leadership. "We are interested, I take it, in the facts and theories that crowd outworn major activities off the face of human experience and supplant them with new conceptions of government, social, moral and political. In this transition of a minor into a major influence the colored races of the world have the opportunity to play the biggest or at least a very large part. As I see it, the preliminary equipment necessary to transform the latent power of the colored people of this and other nations into determining potency, arranges itself about as follows: "First, it is necessary that the colored races become minority conscious, and have a well defined and achievable purpose and competent leadership; second, that this minority be cohesive, organizable, well directed and willing to program without pestiferous quibbling; third, that its objectives be common to the mass, easily understood, and above all else, fair and reasonable; fourth, that action be united, constructive, intelligent and persistent; fifth, that progress always be under vigorous Case Might Have Been Won Thru Strategy SHOWING OF ATTY. HIT Ousted High School Students Left In Old Predicament What is conceded to have been a poor showing in the presentation of the school case by attorneys of the plaintiffs, came in for sharp criticism today, following the decision rendered last Tuesday by Judge Grant Crumpacker at Valparaiso. Although withholding his decision in order to review the evidence, Judge Crumpacker declared verbally in favor of the school city, stating that the school city was within its rights in transferring colored students from Emerson high school to Virginia street school on account of the new arrangement whereby the school districts were changed by the school board. However, a little more strategy and wide-awakeness on the part of attorneys for the plaintiffs would have made impossible such a decision, according to many who commented upon the outcome today. These people declare that if attorneys for the plaintiffs had been on the alert they could have filed an injunction to prevent the school city from re-districting the city in such a way as to prevent the transfer of the four colored students who were transferred to Virginia and Freebel schools. With all of its boasted efficiency for fighting the battles of the Negro race, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People made a tremendous blunder in failing to seek an injunction to prevent the re-districting of the school city, it is pointed out. Filing of four separate complaints in four separate courts by attorneys for the N. A. A. C. P. was also considered unnecessary and blundersome, the result of immature insight, according to critics. The case might have been won, these critics declare, if effective presentation of the case had been made in the interest of the ousted students. Hero of Plane Crash Gets Bravery Medal WASHINGTON—Master Sergeant Harry A. Chapman, army air corps, received the Cheney medal for bravery during service as an aviator a short time ago. President Coolidgo formally bestowing the award, the first to be made, in memory of Lieut. William H. Cheney. Master Sergeant Chapman was one of the crew of the airship Roma when it crashed February 21, 1922, and with four companions, was entrapped in a canvas enclosed compartment. While the fire which broke out was raging Chapman cut a hole in the canvas through which he could have escaped with little or no injury. But the War department states: "Instead of doing so, this gallant soldier helped his four companions to take advantage of this fire before he himself left the fiery ruins. As a severely burned that for several days little hope was entertained for his recovery. He displayed great bravery and presence of mind under the most trying conditions and saved the lives of four other men while he himself was in the gravest peril." Sergeant Chapman was recommended in orders by General Pershing. Mr. Head asserted his belief that the power of achievement lies in the colored people and urged that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People stand ready to lead in the present generation, leaving a well defined basis for the next generation to espouse, and carry on toward the attainment of an advancing civilization participated in by colored people of the United States and the world. FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1928 STATE FOREST YIELDS 10,000 TIES ANNUALLY Net Profit Large From Forestry Department STATE GETS $1.16 A TIE Henryville Tract Produces Large Yearly Return By MERRITT HOOD (From The American's Bureau) INDIANAPOLIS—in its latest bulletin on "Improve and Farm the Woods—It Pays", the forestry division of the Indiana conservation department cites very interesting figures on the financial returns from improvement cuttings on 75-acres of the State Forest reserve at Henryville: According to Ralph F. Wilcox, acting state forester, it cost 58c to make a cross time and load same on a car, and for 2.34 ties cut and sold during the present year, the state received $3,257.44 or $1.16 each. In the process of cutting these ties and also for improvement cutting on the 75-acre area, the division obtained 17 thousand feet of lumber worth $225; 20 thousand feet of lumber worth $600; fifty cords of firewood sold for $150; and 400 cords of fireplace wood sold for $1800. The total lumber and cross ties cut was valued at $6,092.44 or an average of $81.23 worth of lumber from each acre. Profit of $2,055.00 Mr. Wilcox found that it cost for wages, operating expenses, etc. the sum of $3,104, and that the sum of $2,055, was net profit off these 75 acres. Forest officials point out that the 4,700 acre Clark county state forest was started in 1903 when 2,000 acres were purchased from the governor's contingent fund. In the intervening years about 200 acres of old fields have been planted, first to hardwoods and more recently to evergreens. Over one hundred of these experimental plants have demonstrated the better success of evergreens on such poor soils as found at the forest reserve. About four years before the forest was acquired a fire burned over the entire tract, badly scarring the trees. In 1908 the area was clear-cut of every tree which would yield a cross tie.

BASEMENTS FLOODED POLICE during the last few days have received a number of complaints of basements being flooded. The 3700 block on Ivy st. seemed to be the worst affected. The sewer department was notified of the trouble. Everett Sanders, secretary to the president, is reported to be like a sphinx, which indicates that a White House trait may be catching. YOUR HEALTH and how to keep it BY DOCTOR DENNIS A. BETHEA Every week, Dr. Bethea writes on Your Health. Each of his articles are replete with useful information. Read them every week in The American. "We prefer Royal, be it does better SAYS CHAUNCEY Editor of The G "We prefer the Royal, because it does better work." SAYS CHAUNCEY TOWNSEND, Editor of The Gary American. ```markdown ``` Stewart Tyre Compa Stewart Typewriter Company 12 W. 7th Ave. "IN OUR OFFICE," says Chauncey Townsend, editor of The Gary American, "we take pride in doing neat work, whether it is in the rapid composition of a news story on plain cotton paper, or in the writing of a serious letter on Hammermill Bond. That is why we prefer the Royal. Its perfect press work and easy writing qualities make typing a pleasure. Its many fine appointments are unique." The American office is equipped with Royal typewriters exclusively. Discriminating newspapers choose the Royal because of its superior work, because, as Mr. Townsend says, "It is the Rolls Royce of writing machines." GO FAR INTO HISTORY The Druses for a community of Arabic-speaking mountaineers numbering about 150,000 scattered through different parts of Syria. The settlement in the Jebel Hauran is the most important, owing to its virtual independence. The Druses are so-called from the missionary, Darazi, who founded the sect in the first quarter of the Eleventh Christion century. DISTANCE COMPUTATION The adopted unit of Stellar distance is the distance traveled by a light wave in a year. This unit is called the light year. The distance in light years astronomically is then translated into miles, using as a basis the fact that the velocity of light is 186,300 miles per second, and it travels from the sun to the earth in 499 seconds. THEFT PREVENTED Discovery by a nearby resident of the breaking of the window at Max Cohen's store, 3522 Main st., prevented a theft on Tuesday night. Anton Spychalski, 3601, Main, saw a Mexican break the window, and called police. The Mexican threatened Spychalski with a gun, when the man tried to stop him. Nothing was stolen.

Health Editor of The American Israel Zangwill, the distinguished Jewish playwright, whose death removed one of the most virile spirits from the field of drama, was a keen student of American life, and some of the things he said by way of analysis of the American scene will go down in history along with those of the late Viscount Bryce and other whose insight into things American was no less searching. Like Bryce, Zangwill was intellectually honest—a trait of mind which is as rare as the dodo nowadays. Zangwill never hit at an evil with an axe of criticism simply to be disagreeable or spectacular. He was not a smart ack, and his criticisms were always expressive of the truth. When, upon one of his visits to America, he defined the Ku Klux Klan as "a sort of super boy scout organization," he gave us a description which will be long remembered as one of the classic descriptions of our time. It is a description that is not alone clever, but accurate—more accurate, in fact, than any high brow study of the klan might produce. The klan by its fatuous antics and lack of any constructive program has proved itself to be a comedian in a now unpopular force. It was never intended to be a really serious movement. Like the flapper and prohibition, it sprang up from the cataclysm of war and its horrible aftermath. Like Topsy, it "just grew up." Its diminishing influence has been increasingly plain for some time, and its decline, even in the face of the nomination by the democrats of a Catholic candidate, is imminent. It has degenerated to the lowest level of American mass movement. Its demise is at hand. May it rest in trust. "IT'S TOO HOT TO EAT" One day after a hard day's w and tired.

The dinner bell had the same jingle that it had always had, and the table fairly groaned beneath the load of toothsome eatables. The sweet little woman who had presided over that home so effectually for, lo, these many years, had the same winsome smile. However, the man tossed his hat and coat to one side and sought the coolest spot that he could find, saying, "It's too darn hot to eat." This picture may be reproduced in almost any home, several times during the hot summer months. You do not have to be a Solomon to understand that we do not require the same amount of coal in a furnace in summer as in winter, nor do our systems require the same quantity and quality of food in warm weather as they do in colder seasons. When the weather is cold a large portion of the food goes to produce heat, while in warmer weather we do not need so much heating food. The man who said that "it was too hot to eat," perhaps spoke more wisely than he thought. It was too hot to eat the same old rations that he had been eating all winter. Sugar is a great heat producing agent, so we should, in warm weather, eat sparingly of candies, cakes and pies and all eatables that sugar is the principal ingredient. If you have been in a habit of taking a box of bon bons once a week to the sweetest girl in the world, you might make it fruit during the hot weather. Your diet during this season should be largely of fruits and vegetables. Especially should you eat a lot of green vegetables. This kind of food is easy to digest and contains a great amount of neutriment with very little heat production. How about water? Well it is good to drink a good bit of water, because there is a lot of water thrown off by the sweat glands, as well as the kidneys and digestive tract needs more water for their work. However, many persons drink entirely too much water. They drink so much until they waterlog their system. But you cannot use too much water on the outside. This keeps the pours of the skin open so that the body is ventilated and cooled through the skin. Bathe more and eat less. As to meat, you should eat this once a day, unless your work is very hard outdoor duties; then you may need meat under your belt twice a day. A whole lot of people would be better off if they would only eat meat once a week. But whenever you touch upon the meat question most of us feel that we are talking to the other fellow, so they let the works fall like a "sounding brass and a tinkling symbol." Furthermore, it is just as important for the housewife to prepare a pleasant topic for table conversation, as an appetizing meal. And it is just as much a crime for the husband to bring home his business worries to the table, as it is for him to bring home Sampion butter or fish and eggs that have passed the age limit. So it can be seen that it is often too hot to eat—too hot to eat so much sweets, so much meat, so much indigestible food, and too hot to eat when you are all out of tune.
