"The Public Be Served" An Independent Weekly Devoted To the Best Interests of All Sammy Stewart For Bathi Sammy Stewart To Play For Bathing Beauty Contest FREE TRIP IS OFFERED Winner Will Get Title of "Miss Indiana" Prince Kojo, said to be the heir to a kingdom in Africa, who visited America some years ago, is planning to return to this country soon, according to Paris dispatches. During his last visit, the prince caused a sensation by his friendship with white women, one of whom, is shown in the above photo with her daugh ter. Slipping away from her friends on the pretense of attending a theatre performance, Miss Margaret M. Sanders, 1935 Massachusetts street, was quietly married last Saturday afternoon to Mr. Elbert Pearson, prominent young architect. Culminating a romance which began in high school and continued up thru the years of graduation and then afterwards, the couple were married by the Rev. Charles Hawkins, pastor of First Baptist church, Twenty-first avenue and Washington street, in the presence of a few friends and relatives. The bride is the popular society editor of The Gary American and has edited the society news for The American since its establishment. She is a graduate of Froebel high school and was active in many of the organizations of the school and was a member of Froebel's championship basket ball team in 1926 and 1927. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Sanders, 1935 Massachusetts. The groom is also a graduate of Froebel and a former Froebel athlete, who in later years has become one of the most promising young architects in the city, with several beautiful homes and apart ment WHO OWNS ELECT IN AMERICAN WHO OWNS ELECTRIC LIGHTS IN AMERICAN BLDG. MILGRAM? This was the question being asked in many quarters today pending the out come of a suit filed by S. H. Milgram, 1336 Broadway, against Mrs. A. B. Phelps, 520 Adams street, which will be heard in Justice of the Peace Cleon's court some time today. Mrs. Phelps, owner of considerable real estate in Gary, recently purchased the building from Mr. Milgram at a cost of $250,000. According to Mrs. Phelps, it was her understanding at the time of the sale that this price included everything, including the electric light fixtures in the building. Mr. Milgram emphatically denies that the fixtures --- --- FIRST YEAR. NO.19. BAND LEADER CONSENTS TO APPEAR HERE Many Local Girls Enter Contest for Prizes Coming to Gary for the first time in history to play for the hundreds who will be present to hear them, Sammy Stewart and his famous orchestra will be one of the major attractions at the first annual bathing beauty contest which will be held in Gary on August 25, at Rosemont hall, to select the most beautiful girl or young woman in Indiana. Date Definitely Set DATE DEMILY SET The date for the contest was definitely announced last week as being Saturday evening, August 25, and the engagement of Sammy Stewart and his orchestra followed the announcement of the date. Widespread interest followed the announcement of the coming of the famous orchestra leader who is considered as the Paul Whiteman of the middle-west and is adjudged to be the most popular dance orchestra conductor in this section of the country. Stewart and his aggregation of musicians, consisting of fifteen members, are well known in Chicago, where they have been heard at all the popular night clubs and all the large theatres in the "Windy City." Stewart was reluctant to come to Gary at first, but consented to appear here and play at the bathing beauty contest when told that his music would be appreciated by a large majority of the people. Stewart will improvise a special musical program for the bathing beauty contest, which will be held in connection with a dance, scheduled to follow the awarding of the prizes. Any young woman over 16 years of age may enter the contest simply by having her picture taken in a bathing suit, and so far a large number of local girls have entered the contest in a feverish race for the title of "Miss Indiana," the most beautiful girl in the Hosier state. The winner of the contest will have her choice of two awards, one being a fourteen-day trip to Atlantic City, New Jersey, with all her expenses paid, and the other being a cash purse of $50. Either prize will be awarded the winner in the contest, and in addition to winning the trip to Atlantic City or $50 in cash, she will have the opportunity of appearing in the national beauty contest which will be held in Chicago at the Savoy ballroom to select the most beautiful woman in the world. Winners of contests in over 25 states will take part in the Chicago contest which will be held to find the most beautiful girl in the United States. The winner of the national contest will be given the name of "Miss America Brown." Girls from South Bend, Michigan City, Indianapolis, Terre Haute and from other towns and cities in the state will compete with Gary girls in the contest to be held at Rosemont hall. Further information regarding the contest may be obtained from The Gary American. Stewart Installs To give prompt and efficient service in repairing typewriters, adding machines and cash registers, the Stewart Typewriter company, 12 West Seventh avenue, has installed entirely new air and electric equipment, according to an announcement made to The American today by J. H. Stewart, manager. The new equipment, according to the announcement, is specially designed to repair typewriters, adding machines and cash registers. Coming all the way from St. Louis to obtain her first experience on a newspaper, Miss Alice Weakley, a student of journalism in the University of Illinois at Urbana, will arrive in Gary next Wednesday to accept a position offered her on the editorial staff of The Gary American. While employed on The American staff in Gary, she will nestle with Miss Earnestine Campbell, also a student at Illinois university.

By DR. FRANK S. DELANEY (Copyright: 1928; By Gary American, Inc) "In a previous article in this series, dealing with the American Negro and his possibilities, under the caption: 'Will the American Negro become a desirable element in American society?' I called attention mainly to the obstacles in the way of the advancement of the American Negro, thus retarding his progress and placing him in an unfavorable light. Process Is Indirect. A bit of consideration given these three points advanced reveals the fact that they are indirect factors, because of not having been previously planned, nor purposefully supported by the group. I am taking occasion in this article to discuss the first of the two processes planned and supported by the majority factional leaders among the Negroes today as the solution of the problem herein refried to; namely, organization and co-operation within the race. Can the Negro, by internal organization and co-operation, demand a respected and unprescribed place in American society? In other words, if the Negro of America spends all his money with members of his race, gives al his attention to the development of his race, and all his influence for the advancement of his race, and withdraws his influence from all outside causes and (Continued on Page Four) buildings of his own design listed as a few of his achievements since graduation.

MILGRAM? were included in the deal, and has asked that they be turned over to him. Mrs. Phelps, on the contrary, maintains that the electric light fixtures were included in the sale as part of the price of the building, and upon the strength of this contention will go to court today to protect her interests. Should the court decide that the electric light fixtures are not a part of The American building, this equipment will be recognized as the property of Mr. Milgram and will go to him by the court's ruling. The disputed property includes all the electric light fixtures in the building on both floors, as well as the change, as in the dance hall unstairs. --- GARY, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1928 EXPECT HOOVER TO HIT LYNCHINGS IN ADDRESS Brother Jonathan To Run For President The News SummedUp So That He Who Runs May Also Be Able To Read Hoover expected to take firm stand against evils from which Negroes chiefly suffer.

Platform Say SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.—Will Herbert Hoover go a step further and pledge himself to better the status and condition of the American Negro when he makes his acceptance speech in Palo Alto, Cal., next month? That is the question which is being asked in all parts of the country today as the hour for Mr. Hoover to accept the honor the republican party has conferred upon him draws nearer at hand. That is the question which, political observers say, will determine what support Negroes in America will give the republican party in this year's presidential election.

The attention given colored people by the republicans at Kansas City is considered inadequate in many quarters. Only one sentence, taken on to the end, was embedded in the platform adopted at the convention, and this sentence, it is said, is not enough. Mr. Hoover, leaders point out should come out and pledge himself to do more to elevate the Negro than what was vaguely promised by the republicans at Kansas City.

Night Wire) WASHINGTON—Declaring that the charges preferred against him by the senatorial investigation committee were unfounded, Perry W. Howard, former special assistant to the attorney general of the United States, characterized himself as martyr to Negro leadership in the South, and the investigation as a means of overthrowing the power of Negroes in the republican party in the south, in a statement released Wednesday. Mr. Howard was indicted on charges of pedaling federal patronage, along with several other prominent republican leaders in Mississippi including S. D. Redmond and his brother. Howard made bond here in Washington and the leaders who are residing in Miss'si'appi were granted a change of venue last week. The statement made by Howard was as follows: "The only information I have with reference to my indictment is what I have in the daily press. "I am a mortyr to the cause I represent—Negro leadership. Persecution is the price of martyrdom. Prison walks to martyrs are like palaces tot the nobility. I am perfectly willing to be offered up and pay the price of martyrdom. A cause is certainly, far greater than the individual. I have been pursued politically and in the civil courts, and now my political enemies seek to have me crucified in the criminal courts. Can't Conceive of Charge "I have no idea what the charge is. Whatever it is, I know that it is the back fire from the current of a righteous cause, and this cause will go on whether I am temporarily incarcerated or not. I am guilty of no wrongdoing directly or indirectly." "My 'lily white' adversaries have enlisted the aid of powerful influence, material, political and otherwise, and I am not surprised at what has happened. For seven years I have been the most hounded and investigated man in the United States. "No man in the nation has done more than I to prevent anything that even smacked of the purchase and sale of public offices. I required of applicants for offices in the State of Mississippi affidavits declaring that the applicant had given or promised to give no consideration of any kind for the office. This was at the inception of my administration and prior to the enactment of the statutes requiring the filing of affidavits to that effect with the comproller general.

It is only when there is no real love that these little riffs lead to the divorce courts, he continued. Geometrically, one and one make two, but with people who are properly married, one and one make one. The shieky type of man is not capable of loving a woman, the divine continued, because he is not around any one long enough to love her. The Rev.

It is said that the white boys attacked Turtley who finally escaped the mobbists by climbing a tree in Schenley park where he remained until rescued by the police. The white boys told police that several white girls had complained to them that Turtley had molested them. Turtley was taken to jail and arranged in Morals court where he denied molesting life girls. It is said the boys told officers they would have the women appear in court at the hearing and identify Turtley as the man who had molested them. However, the girls failed to appear and Turtley was discharged. Memphis Colleges Will Consolidate (By Associated Negro Press) MEMPHIS.-Decision to operate Roger Williams college of Nashville and the Howe Junior college of Memphis, under one management, beginning with the fall term, October 1, was approved at a meeting of the missionary board and educational board of the Tennessee Baptist convention in session here last Wednesday. The two colleges will use the buildings of Howe college as temporary quarters until plains for erecting new buildings have matured. The merged institutions tried to fined a building site in Memphis several months ago, but were unsuccessful when the property owners and civic clubs among the whites protested. The report on the merger plan approved Wednesday was presented by Rev. E. M. Lawrence representing Roger Williams and Rev. T. O. Fuller representing Howe college. A committee was appointed to nominate 25 trustees, to be confirmed at the next meeting of the board to be held in Jackson in October. The new board of trustees will include members of the state convention, alumni of the two schools, and others named by the American Baptist Home Mission Society of New York. White business men of Memphis will be asked to serve on the Board Rev. Dr. Fuller announced.

Public attention has been directed toward Mrs. Willebrandt recently because of the militant attitude and eager zeal she has shown in her post-convention prosecution of charges of selling federal offices in Mississippi, a practice which in the absence of financing the republican organization in that and other southern states, is reported to exist in most of them. cennators for the express purpose of trapping those who leaved upon federal jobs.

Mrs. Willebrandt whose grappling with the red hot problem of southern political methods has focused the country's attention upon her, presents an interesting picture. Evidently in her middle thirties, slender, garbed in blue, with light brown hair and cool gray eyes, this woman who by sheer force and ability has won a place as an ace in the department of justice is entirely feminine in her appearance. She has none of the sturdy masculine manners usually attributed to female politicians and lawyers, until she grows excited, when poking out her chin and lips determinedly she pounds her desk for emphasis.

Many newspapers made the usual omission by the swarthy sons of Africa in their mission is a crime against the North attitude which the colored people felt. The services and patriotism of us undoubtedly one of the factiest. The valor and bravery of our mistreatment at the hands of the loyalty and stout-hearted devotion. The needs of valor and bravery attribute the war are numerous enough to collective bravery and valor of the ninth Cavalry and other fighting units daily newspapers, in their stance and bravery of the American people the mistake of not saying a sword collective valor of Negroes, allise and profuse in their illustration other nationality enlisted or using machine during the great turmoil of the crimes of omission usually only the daily press in almost every state press has always been to give crime and immorality, but to progress and achievement. Example of this can be found than as of human endeavor which today. It is an indisputable fact, most reported, and most promising press is full of it and full of the idea would-be trans-Atlantic flyword about Negro aviators who live across the pond.

Julian has demonstrated with skill comparable to that time he has been getting ready, not had one word to say concern for this reason that Negro news town and city of any size in the established with the object in to outstanding activities of Napa to have made it a policy to co- APOSTLE'S GRAVE Ore., is the tomb of the venerable Francis N. Blanchet. Under the need there he rests, in accordance at St. Paul." His grave is my weight. Although they gave prominent mention to the deeds and valor of American white soldiers in the Great War, Memorial Day editions of white newspapers made the usual omission of leaving out the part played by the swarthy sons of Africa in the battles of the Marne and Verdun. Such an omission is a crime against the Negro race, an expression of ingratitude which the colored people everywhere cannot fail to resent. The services and patriotism of our people during the war was undoubtedly one of the factors which helped in winning the fight. The valor and bravery of our boys at the front, in spite of mistreatment at the hands of their superior officers, revealed the loyalty and stout-hearted devotion of the black man to his country. Individual deeds of valor and bravery attributed to the Negro soldier during the war are numerous enough to make a good size book, and the collective bravery and valor of the Eighth Illinois Regiment, the Tenth Cavalry and other fighting units were outstanding. And not while daily newspapers, in their stories and articles recalling the valor and bravery of the American army during the World War made the mistake of not saying a single word about the individual and collective valor of Negroes, although they were lured in their praise and profuse in their illustrations of the parts played by every other nationality enlisted or drafted into the American fighting machine during the great turmoil. But such are the crimes of omission usually committed against the black man by the daily press in almost everything. The tendency of the white press has always been to give excessive prominence to Negro crime and immorality, but to systematically ignore Negro progress and achievement. No better example of this can be found than in one of the most outstanding fields of human endeavor which white newspapers are concerned with today. It is an indisputable fact that aviation is the most studied, most reported, and most prominent subject of the day. The white press is full of it and full of the exploits of trans-Atlantic flyers and would-be trans-Atlantic flyers—of the white race, but never a word about Negro aviators who are making similar attempts to fly across the pond. In a few weeks, Herbert Julian, a Negro aviator of proven courage and skill, will start off for France in a Curtis plane, leaving a New York airdrome. Julian has demonstrated his ability to handle a plane with skill comparable to that of a Lindbergh, and yet in all the time he has been getting ready for his flight, the white press has not had one word to say concerning it. It is mainly for this reason that Negro newspapers are springing up in every town and city of any size in the United States. They are being established with the object in view of giving worthy mention to outstanding activities of Negroes, whom the white press seems to have made it a policy to consistently forget. APOSTLE'S GRAVE At St. Paul, Ore., is the tomb of the venerated apostle of the West, Archbishop Francis N. Blanchet.

Of these elements, only carbon is absorbed from the air. During the past quarter of the century, physicians and psychologists have been making an exhaustive study of the phenomena of dreams. There has been so much superstition connected with the subject, all down through the ages, that intelligent people often smile when the topic is proposed. Yet an open mind will find, as Tennyson says: "Sermons in stones, books in running brooks and good in every thing." There are no fundamental differences between dreams and thoughts, for dreams are simply the activity of the mind during the sleeping hours. Therefore, it is only natural to dream. The average person, in health, dreams and forgets the dream on awaking in the morning. Whenever you are able to remember your dreams minutely, it is a good sign that you are suffering from some error of hygiene or that there is some impairment of your health. The popular opinion today is that we dream because we go to bed on a full stomach. This idea is all right as far as it goes, but it is like your pay check—it does not go far enough. Surely overeating at night is the cause of many of our troublesome dreams. You may dream that you beat up the collector or the fellow who has tried to steal your girl, or else you might dream that you came in home and the meal was not ready and you too k your wife across your lap and spanked her as you would a child, should you have those kind of dreams, yo have been eating too much. It has been demonstrated that impulses received by the various nerves, as sight, hearing or sensation, during the sleeping hours, hay cause one to dream. Sometimes the slamming of a door may make one dream that burglars are in the house, or a blanket may slip exposing a part of the body to the cold air, and you may dream of falling down from a high building. The least noise may cause distressing dreams. Worry, anger fear or any of the destructive emotions, as well as excessive reading or mental work just before retiring may cause this trouble. It has been found that ill health or an approaching spell of sickness will induce dreaming. Patients suffering from organic heart disease are often troubled with terrors. The patient suddenly awakes with a groan or pain, wild-eyed or dripping with perspiration. A man used to dream that a cat had him by the neck and was slowly choking him to death. The agony would continue until he would awake with a sensation of great fullness and tenseness in the throat. He was finally operated on for cancer. This dreaming sometimes goes on to the point where the patient may become a sleep walker, or a sleep talker or have nightmares. A woman may not pay any attention to what her husband says while he is awake, but when he is asleep, she will listen carefully to every word he has to say. There are persons who will strike you with t heir fists or kick you unmercifully, in their sleep, however, I have always had a sneaking idea that they did it on purpose. Therefore, we can see that dreams should not be looked upon too lightly. It may mean that your body is a little below normal, or it may simply mean some trivial cause, then on the other hand, it might mean some mental disturbances. Freud, the great German physician and psychologist, studied the dreams of his patients with a view of better understanding nervous diseases. Negro Can't Win Through Self Alone works alone for the advancement of his race, would he, by these means, be able to demand what the advocates of this method hold out as being the desirable solution, and would that type of solution be the best for the American Negro, either as a social unit or as a part of the social order? If it were possible to set up an organization which would induce the Negroes to spend all of the money which they receive with each other, and thus demonstrate the force of their resentment and the attractiveness of their patronage—would this bring the proper relationship, or would the remand and threat of the other which would likely bring about periodical conflict economically and finally result in the defeat of the weaker group? In this connection, it must be kept in mind that nineteenth of our folk are directly dependent for employment and support upon the white people of America and that at the present time there are at least five millions of white men out of employment who would work and who might, in the face of definite racial opposition, be employed in the places which Negroes are now filling. Organization Necessary. I do not wish to be understood as discouraging organization among Negroes. Whatever the Negro does, looking forward toward advancement to his proper place in the social order, must be done through organization, but the aim of that organization must not be for the purpose of promoting external opposition, but rather for the purpose of developing the efficiency of the group and its individuals that they live better themselves and help others to live better.

Dr. W. L. Lipscomb, pastor at a local white church here, may lose his pastorate because he accepted an invitation to preach at a nearby Negro church. It is said that during the past 15 years four white ministers have been fired from the pulpit of this church for addressing Negro congregations. The members of this church will not stand for their pastor to preach to Negroes. Several years ago the pastor of the church chided them for this un-Christian spirit and when he, over their protest, preached in the Negro church, was discharged. Three other ministers have not the same fate. FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1933 Being assistant manager to a couple trying to break the long distance dancing record is our idea of nothing to do.
