OPEN HOUSE AT KIDDIE'S HOME Judge Norton Speaks Business Club Gives $25 for Yule Musical numbers and several addresses made up the program Wednesday night at Lake County Children's home's open house, an event held from seven to nine o'clock in celebration of the first anniversary of its opening in 1927. The home is located at 23rd avenue and Jefferson street. Miss Thyra Edwards, member of the Board of Children's Guardians and prominent in Gary society and as a social worker, acted as mistress of ceremonies. She presented first Prof. C. McFarlane of Roosevelt Annex school, who addressed those gathered in the home. Justice W. C. Hueston then presented Judge Norton who spoke in a very interesting manner. Workers were next presented by Miss Edwards as follows: Mrs. Harris, matron, Mrs. Chavis, Supt., Miss Lowe, governess. Musical numbers were rendered by Dr. Marshall and Mr. Woodley with Miss Smith at the piano. A. J. Howard presented a gift of $25.00 from the Gary Noon-day Business club providing Christmas cheer for the home. A beautiful bouquet of flowers was the gift of the DeLuxe club.

Churches Aid In Employment Churches Aid In Employment DETROIT, Mich.—According to a letter received by ten of the leading churches here, members of the Ministral Alliance, the ministers were advised that one of the large business firms is preparing to employ one hundred colored salesgirls. Each church is supposed to send ten girls it is reported. Owing to the fact that the name of the firm cannot be divulged until after the list has gone in and the prospective salesgirls have qualified, speculation is running rife as to what business concern it is. The colored people, however, are jubilant and many are of the opinion that it is the Sears-Roebuck company of Chicago which recently opened two large stores here.

ZION'S WAR Local Doctor Overcomes White Competition Roosevelt Annex Host To Stars of 2 Big Plays Students of Roosevelt anne school were honored by the appearance at their school Monday of two of America's greatest actors, in the person of Frank H. Wilson, of the cast of "Porgy," now playing at the Blackstone, Chicago, and Thomas Moseley, who plays the leading role in "In Abraham's Bosom," a drama of the Carolinas, which is now playing at the Playhouse theatre, Chicago. Richard J. Huey, also a member of the cast of "Porgy" and Mrs. Wilson, accompanied the two. "Be always prepared," was the advice Mr. Wilson gave the students in a fifteen-minute talk he made to them. "Be always prepared to embrace whatever opportunity may come your way. That has been the secret of my success." Urges Students to Study Urging them to take advantage of their opportunity to study, Moseley, in an address he made to the students, advised them to apply themselves to their subjects and try to gain as much from their books as possible. He stated that excursion of the mind as well as the hands should be given to every student in public school systems. Mr. Huey recited poems by Robert W. Service, Langston Hughes and James Weldon Johnson. His reading of the Hughes' verse evoked protracted applause. Chauncey Townsend, editor of The Gary American, introduced the plyaers to the school students Through Mr. Townsend, they were invited to come to Gary by Mrs. R. D. Guf, auditorium teacher of Roosevelt school who entertained them at her home with a tea later in the afternoon. Lion's Club Objects To Negro's Parole (By Associated Negro Press) SLIDEL, La—The Siddel's Lion's club, composed of business men, at their weekly luncheon, opposed the granting of a parole to Walter Cade, who had been sentenced to seven years in the state penitentiary for the killing of Charles Smith, a white man, in 1911. After the shooting, Cade eluded arrest for ten years but was captured in Missouri and brought back to this place for trial. A resolution signed by all the members was presented to the board of pardons. By RAYMOND HARPER Competition by white physicians on Gary's south side means little to David T. Cardwell, well known local doctor, who has his suite of offices at 2085 Broadway. Especially is this statement significant when one remembers that of late doctors from downtown Gary have made astounding inroads into the practice of the fifteen or more Negro physicians here. Dr. Cardwell's method of overcoming competition is amazingly simple. He makes it possible for patients to get equally as good service from him as they do from any white doctor and at no greater cost. Dr. Cardwell, unlike most colored physicians, furnishes medicine free to his patients. "Negroes have tired of paying for Jim Crow Column Is A Comic Section Jim Crow Column Is A Comic Section Editorial The Chicago Tribune has its comic strip "Moon Mullins" in which a ludicrous character, Mushmouth, takes a prominent part. The Gary Post-Tribune has a feature equally ridiculous in which many of Gay's colored citizens furnish the amusement. They call the local feature "News of Gary's Colored Folks." A lengthy debate could be held over which feature furnishes the most amusement for white readers of the two papers. Only a skilled and highly trained judge can tell which is funnier to white readers: Mushmouth's "F'evven's Sakes" and other monstrosities in grammar and dialect; or an account in the jim crow column of a prominent Negro social function in the form of a chitling supper to be given at the home of Mrs. So-and-so just south of the Pennsylvania railroad tracks. Those who are bitterly against such ridicule of the Negro race as that found in comic strips are the strongest supporters of jim crow news columns. They get drunk on printer's ink; seeing their names in print in a white newspaper causes them to peel and rock and whoop and they eventually lose all the common sense—if any—they ever had. We admit that a segregated column is more than ordinary publicity. It keeps the names of black folk before the white man's eye. It draws the attention of Caucasians to the Negro. So does a special cage for monkeys draw the attention of passers-by at a zoo. We are hoping that some one will close the cage or that the cage will close of itself because of a scarcity of animals or no keeper for it. It would be a wonderful thing for black Gary. KATIE FINDS PEOPLE BELIEVE TOO MUCH IS SPENT FOR XMAS Do you think we should spend more for Christmas than we can afford to spend? Mr. J. Reddix: Teacher Roosevelt Annex. No, I do not believe it is right for us to spend so much as we do. After all it is not the expensive present that counts, but the idea of giving something to someone. It is the matter of remembrance rather than the value. Mrs. J. Thomas, 2376 Conn. st. I certainly do not think we should spend more than we can afford. I think we should spend something, but one should spend according to his means. I do think it is necessary to spend something to be in keeping with the spirit of the season. Mrs. S. R. Blackwell, 1971 Mass. st. No, I do not think we should spend nearly so much as we do. We should do more charity work. Of course it is nice to give gifts, but I have thought often that we should not give so many gifts to people that do not need them, but more to people who do. We just over-do it.

Vitaphone special, "The Singing Fool," starring the world-famed Al Jolson, will move into the Roosevelt theater, Chicago, beginning Christmas Day, December 25, for a short run. Balaban & Katz have been forced to release it from the McVickers establishment in order to make way nor "Four Sons," which was booked in that theater some time ago. The sensational popularity of this Jolson super-film has astounded the theatrical world, having run over twelve weeks at McVickers. Because of its astounding success, the Balaban & Katz organization have retained it for downtown showing, for a short period, before releasing it in the outlying districts.

Although this is the latest finance institution to assume importance in the field of colored finance, it has nearly all of its $100,000 capital subscribed. highest class companies in the business. "If all of the colored physicians here would put in similar laboratories," prophecies Dr. Cardwell, "there would be no excuse for calling in a white physician merely because he is cheaper. Keeping a stock on hand of the necessary medicines and furnishing them to the clients is the only way of winning back the practice which white doctors took from us." While some physicians fly the "hard times" flag, claiming that times are dull with the medical pro- FACTIONS OF BAP'T CHURCH FIGHT AGAIN Judge Serves Order On South Side Bank, Members Application for a temporary injunction on behalf of one of the warring factions of Mt. Zion Baptist church, located at 2457 Massachusetts street, was scheduled to be heard Friday morning by Judge Maurice E. Crites of East Chicago. This hearing follows notice of a temporary restraining order served Tuesday in which the following are named as defendants: South Side Trust and Savings bank; Rev. A. T. Allen, 2389 Adams street, ousted pastor of the church; James Williams, 2247 Massachusetts; James Peterson, 846 Tyler; James-Caroline and Nobile Archery, Isaiah Fox, Henry Vaughn and Jerry Cole, trustees of the church, caused the order to be issued. Judge Crites' order has a double purpose: it forbids the defendants to assert any claim to a building fund said to total nearly $4,000 and now deposited in the South Side Trust and Savings bank, and it also restrains the same defendants from entering the church or denying the use of the church property to the members. It was following a new outbreak in the church between warring factions Sunday that the order was issued. Mt. Zion Baptist church has long been a battleground. One group has bitterly opposed the other. There have been rumors of scandal in which the minister and certain church members were involved. Rev. A. T. Allen was eventually ousted by a faction that opposed him. For the past five weeks previous to last Sunday, police have been detailed at the church. None was stationed there last Sunday and as a result hostilities reopened. It took a call to the police station and the presence of Sergt. George Humeau to quiet things. Rushing to the church, Sergt. Humeau found three women attempting to overpower a fourth with a razor in her hands. She escaped and the officer found the weapon behind the organ. Meanwhile, another fight was in progress in the street in front of the church. Theodore Brown, 2712 Van Buren street, stood holding back an excited group with a gun. When Sergt. Humeau appeared, the gun was thrown away. However, Brown Jones, 2604 Washington street; George Woodson, 2408 Massachusetts street, and Noble Harrison, 1739 Harrison, gave the policeman enough information to lead to the arrest of Brown and his booking on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. fession, Dr. Cardwell is having his hands full to take care of the practice that comes to him. He is, incidentally, one of the oldest physicians, in total years of practice, in Gary. He graduated from Howard university in 1905 and has doctored constantly since then. Six years ago he came to the Steel City where he has since remained. It was a little more than two years ago that he saw the advantage of adding a laboratory to his offices. This experience and analysis of the methods of his white competitors has made Dr. Cardwell an unusually successful physician. If the other physicians here would follow his lead and establish modern laboratories of their own, white competition would no longer cut down their possible income. City News Raps Ignorance.

R JACKSON, Miss. — (Special) Prosecution on additional warrants of Porry Howard, republican national committeeman from Mississippi will take place either at the Master's of court here, or in Bloxon next January if defendants apply for a transfer to that court, it was anounced here Wednesday evening. Howard and four others: S. D. Redmond, physician-lawyer, and A. M. Redman, drugstrict, both cousins of Howard, and E. L. Patton, barber, and J. Scott Hubbard, white, of Magee, suspended deputy marshal were declared not guilty last Friday of the sale of the United States marshal-ship to Anelem P. Russell of Magee for $2,000. Hubbard, the white man, was accused of having loaned the money to Russell. The verdict was rendered shortly after noon Friday after the jury had deliberated 20 hours following the four day trial. Many Present The trial opened with the court room packed with citizens of both races. The prosecuting attorney introduced A. P. Russell, former postmaster of Magee, Mississippi, who testified that he had paid Perry Howard, S. D. Redmond, and E. L. Patten $3,000 for the postmastership. As the white man told of how he visited Attorney Redmond, who exorcated $1,500 from him, and how he went with Redmond and the other Negro leaders to Washington to see the Mississippi republican leader, a smile draped the countenance of Attorney W Howard. The witness further testified that he was advised to return home and get "other endorsements" which meant an additional $1,500. Takes Stand Taking the stand in his own defense, Howard denied that he had received any money from Russell, declaring, "I did not receive one penny from Mr. Russell in Washington or anywhere else." He admitted that he had held an interview with Russell, but at the time informed him that he had indoorsed F. S. Swain, white, of Brookhaven for the position. Upon learning that the Mississippi senators favored the candidacy of Russell through Attorney John Marshall, an executive of the department of justice, Howard stated that he indorsed him. The attorney also stated that he told Russell at the Washington intervitw that if there was any financial consideration planned he would require them to withdraw from his office. Attorney Redmond substantiated the testimony of Attorney Howard and declared that he made the trip to Washington to attend to personal business and that his indorsement of Russell was incidental. He also refuted the statement of the white man that Russell had paid the expenses of the trip. Prosecution Chagrined This drew a titter from the audience, much to the chagrim of Attorney Fant who is assistant district attorney for the northern Mississippi district. The tilt was accasioned by the statement of Howard to the effect that he considered a suggestion or recommendation from Mr. Marshall as an order. Another feature of the trial was the testimony of Gus Woodcock, suspended bailiff of the Bloxi court that A. P. Russell had approached him and offered him $1,000 "to help frame these niggers."

Perry Howard's Acquittal Barry Howard has been declared not guilty by a jury in a Jackson, Mississippi, court room, on the first of the many charges against him for peddling federal jobs. That may sound surprising, happening, as it does, in Mississippi. But let us look at things before we come to a conclusion. There is a persistent rumor that Mr. Howard is aligned with Pat Harrison, a leading democrat and one of Mississippi's two members of the U. S. senate. The rumor does not at all seem unreasonable. Although Mr. Howard is a staunch republican and the national committeeman of that state for the G. O. P., 90 per cent of his recommendations for federal jobs in Mississippi have been for democrats. Further—appointments must be approved by members of the U. S. senate and we have never heard of any instance in which Pat Harrison voiced any objection. With this in mind, it begins to seem a bit far fetched to believe that Perry Howard could have been convicted in the recent trial or will be in those to come, unless the evidence is unusually strong against him. It would not be good politics for Pat Harrison to withdraw his influence and connections now with the black leader with another four years of republican administration at Washington. Mr. Howard still has some influence in Mississippi and the senator, a democrat, knows the value of strong republican ties. We are not particularly glad that Mr. Howard was freed. If the other charges are unproven, it may mean that the Negro will have more of the Mississippi man's leadership in the future. And such leadership has always been detrimental. Of course, we are not really desirous of seeing Mr. Howard languish in jail. We understand that jail life is very boresome and has a multitude of limitations. Mr. Howard is a very energetic man and it is rather difficult to sell federal jobs while loafing in prison. But if that is the only way in which the race can rid itself of the Howard influence in politics and the Howard school of politicians, we won't believe we would have too many joangs of regret if Mr. Howard were placed where he could have time to hold constant and uninterrupted communion with himself—and not harm the race. Passing for White and Color Prejudice Last week's edition of the Baltimore Afro-American had this to say editorially: Let every colored person who can pass for white go over to the white race. We haven't been doing that in the past. We have allowed silly ideas of race pride to stamp persons as colored, who were whiter inside and outside than millions of so-called "white people." But let them not pass over for their own sakes. "Pass for white" for the sake of humanity. Go into the white race and change its race prejudice, its un-Christianity and its disrespect for law. We are heartily in accord with parts of the foregoing statements. Other parts we term inadvisable as yet. If one who is called a Negro is light enough in complexion and regular enough in features to pass for white, he belongs as much in the white race as he does in that of the Negro. No matter how much "black" blood flows through his veins, such a person is more white than colored. It is perfectly obvious that "passing" has great advantages—no segregation to face, no jobs or positions denied because of being a Negro, no jim crow hotel or traveling conditions, and the negation o a host of other things. But when it comes to "passing" for the purpose of ridding the Caucasian of his race prejudice—that's another matter. People who manage to slip into the white race are constantly afraid that their original racial identity will be learned. Consequently they take no chances. If they endeavor to eradicate race prejudice, or converse freely and frequently upon the subject, or let it be known that they are friendly toward coloed folk, it becomes merely a question of time before some snooper learns that once they themselves were considered colored. Outside of Walter White and a handful of others, those who have gone across do as little to better inter-racial relations as the most unmindful of the natural Caucasians. It further happens that most of those who remain within the race because they are afraid to try passing, and those who are right in complexion but not white enough to be called Caucasian except by a blind man, have color prejudice as great as that held by the meanest of the Georgia crackers. Many light complexioned Negroes refuse to mix with those larker in color. They call themselves the cream of the Negro race. They establish color bars and a caste system that are as inflexible as those put by southern gentlemen in Mississippi. By such action, they seek to call attention to themselves and their color. They fail to realize that in many instances the less said about their color—and why—the better. We look upon the Afro's idea as very good. But at present it is not practical. Before we attempt to remove the prejudice from the white race, let's get rid of it ourselves. Let our charity begin at home. Many Inspect Smith's Mortuary Many were present Sunday to inspect the newly remodelled quarters of the Smith Funeral Home and to hear the program which marked its formal dedication. Musical numbers and speeches from local professional and business men and women, constituted the program, after which the public was invited to inspect the establishment, including the new living quarters of the Smiths. The chapel with its pipe organ, its soft lighting and beautiful tasteful decorations; the exhibit room, the preparation room of white tile, its mortuary refrigerator with receiving vaults, and the display room, were very impressive. The apartment above is likewise furnished with elegance and taste and equipped with many of the most modern features for convenience and comfort.
