WRF SEORY PER DEFEN SPRINGFIELD, MASS.—The de- feat of efforts to confirm Judge John J, Parker of North Carolina jas Supreme Court Justice, in which he National Association for the Ad- lvancement of Colored People and Negroes generally played a leading pari, is a forecast of the increasing political power which will be en- joyed by colored American citizens, according to Oswald Garrison Vil- lard, editor of “The Nation” who ecidiressed the 2ist Annual Confer- ence of the Association here. “We warn the Bourbon South and the increasingly Bourbon North that the Porker ease is but the be- ginning,” declared Mr. Villard, “and that their disapproval can no more stop the growing political power of the Negroes than all the troops of the British Empire can cause to sub side the national aspirations of the natives in India. 3 |! “The day of force is playing out. ‘The knell of imperialism within and Without countries has been sound- ed. ‘The white races have not prov- ed their fitness to rule, the dis- patchgy'?rom every quarter of the Sysit” prove houriy, just as they paffirm the: diving wisdom of ‘Ab- 'yaham Lindoln's saying that ‘no sqian is good enough to govern an- fame r man without the other man’s beonsent.’ fe “'So we of the National Associa- Gon ‘tor the Advancement’ of Col- ored People can be cheerful indeed. With « great victory behind us we can look forward with increasing jeoutidet oe to the future of our work.” , Mr. Villard declared that there was hope for the Negro in neither ithe Republican nor the Democratic party. He urged that Negroes act as a bloc in defense of citizenship and political rights and suggested a¥filiation with the League for Po- litical Action headed by Professor John Dewey of Columbia Univer- sity.

Henderson, of Kansas City, Kansas, to the post of solicitor in the Postmaster General's office in Washington. Coincident with that appointment, was the appoint- ment the previous week of Attorney William E. Hueston of Gary to a similar position. The Negro press, throughout the country, is loud in its praise of President Hoover for these appointments, claiming that he is redeeming himself in the graces of the Negroes in the Repub- lican party. To this writer, it is not so. It would seem that our “South-loving- Herbert,” instead of trying to re- deem himself in the graces of the Negroes in the Republican party, is merely trying to rectify the faux pas he committed in the recent ap- pointment of Judge John J. Park- er of North Carolina to the Su- preme Court of the United States, and the stubborn, but futile efforts he exercised in trying to get the appointment confirmed. Be ye not fooled, Negro voters! The Herbert Hoover who appoint- ed Hueston and Henderson to posi- tions that will aggregate only $9,000 in a year’s time, is the same Her- bert Hoover who has persistently refused to banish segregation in the governmental departments in Washington; the same Herbert Hoover who wanted a Negro-hating Southerner on the Supreme Court bench; the same Herbert Hoover who has as his Secretary of War, a Southerner, Hurley of Oldahoma, and countenances his segregation of Negro Gold Star Mothers on a gov- ‘ernment-paid trip to France; the same Herbert Hoover who holds the distinction of being a presidential candidate in the conventions of both major parties; and the samc Herbert Hoover who has consist- ently shown inborn prejudice to- wards Negroes. Religious circles throughout the country were stirred a few weeks ago, with the murder near Scotts- burg, Indiana, of Edward D. Pier- son, auditor of the National Bap- tist Convention, Inc. One man has been indicted for the murder, and two other men, one a leading Bap- tist minister in the state of Indiana and the other an office holder in a subsidiary of the National Baptist Convention, in Nashville, have been indicted as accessories to the fact Soon the trial will start, and the prosecutor of Scotts county has stated that he will ask for the death penalty for the slayer, and convictions for the other two.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS.—AITI Ne- groes in the United States are urg- ed to support the campaign for civ- il rights being waged by the Na- tional Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People, in an ad- dress delivered at the opening mass meeting of that organization's 21st Annual Conference, by Channing H. Tobias, of-New York City, an in- ternational secretary of the Y. M. Cc. A. Leaders in pther groups, notably the church and Negro fraternal orders, were urged by Mr. Tobias to join with the National Associa- tion in its work. “One would think that an organi- zation that has been the means of securing six decisions from the Su- preme Court of the United States guaranteeing political and residen- tial equality of rights to a race of people would command the enthus- iastie backing and support of that race, The National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo- ple has done exactly that thing for the Negro race in America but re- ceives only meager and uncertain support. “It devolves upon the Negro him- self to shoulder the financial bur- den of making secure his social, political and industrial freedom. As a matter of fact, I do not believe that Negroes should expect any great response from white people for this cause, for any race that is not willing to pay the price of its own freedom, is unworthy of thai freedom. With the appeal directed to the whole racial group in Ameri- ca, a million dollars is certainly not too much to ask.” NOTICE! If there is anyone in Gary, Hammond or East Chicago who knows the whereabouts of Will Gaines of Indianapolis, will they please have him communicate with his home. Word has been ceceived in the office of the Gary American that his child is seri- ously ill in Indianapolis, and not expected to live. The last knowledge of the whereabouts of Will Gaines was a few weeks ago, when he left his home in Indianapolis to seek work in Hammond. Not being able to find work there, it is thought that he is either in Gary or East Chicago. Please com- municate with him, if you know of his whereabouts.

A cam- paign of instructive protest is_be- ing formulated by the organization against the consideration received by the Neroes from the me: chants doing business in the Central South side district; also the consideration from the office of Township Trus- tee. Mr. Bright explained the pur- pose of the organization, In the discussion of the unem- ployment conditions in the central district, stress was made of the fact that many merchants exercise unfair treatment against Negroes, refusing to giev them employment, and yet derive the major. portion of their income from these same people. In the case of the Township Trustee, criticism was made of the appalling fact that in the dispens- ing of charity to the poor, the Township Trustee allows only one dollar per week to families some- times numbering; as many as five or six persons, Plans were discussed for the call- ing of a public mass meeting, prob- ably on July 10, at Rosemont Hall, to make ‘a strong protest against these conditions. At that time, de- finite steps will be taken in the course of rectifying these two most prevalent iil-conditions in the Cen- tral district, as annonuced by Wil- liam Mayfield, president of the or- ganization.

Originally a social service cen- ter devoted mainly to the needs of the huge foreign-born population in this district, in the last few years it has found it necessary to include in its work the needs of the great influx of Negro population. In ad- justing itself to this program, the Friendship house has found itself working-out a huge inter-racial pro- gram, far more complicating than that confronted by any of the social service organizations of the city. In an interview with Miss Harms, she freely discussed the future work of the house, stating that al- though it is supported mainly by the national office of the Methodist Episcopal church, it depends large- ly on the interest manifested by REGARD HUESTON’S APPOINTMENT ‘JOKE’ +.

OPINIONS VARY IMENT CHURCH POLITICAL AR Editor's Note; Each week the In; quiring Reporter will ask questions of interest to different people for the benefit of readers of the Am- erican. The Question Do you think the church should take an active part in politics? The Answers Bobbie Frenchetty, waitress, 1734 Washington street: Yes. I do not object to the church taking an ac- tive part in politics, because we should be able to get any advice we need from the chureh, it should act as an advisor on all matters of in- terest to the members of the church.

OUTLET STORE OF FRIENDSHIP HOME RUINED BY FIRE Fire of incendiary origin destroy- ed the rummage outlet store of the Friendship Home, at 2216 Washing- ton street, Sunday night about 1:30 a, m, Firemen from the 2nd. dis- triet answered a “still” alarm, but the fire had gained such a head- way when they arrived that nothing of any consequence was saved. Miss F. Harms, superintendent of the Friendship House, 2224 Washington street, stated that the value of the articles destroyed would be only about $159; they be- ing only second-hand clothing to be given to the poor. G. J. Goddard, owner of the building, estimated the damage to the building at $400, being fully covered by insurance. BOXING STARTED ON “Y” PROGRAM The greatest civie project before ‘the city of Gary today is the con- ‘servation of her young men and boys; and the Y. M. C. A. is an in- vestment that pays cumulative divi- dends in character, Its object is to carry the ideals of the organization to the entive community. 1t helps to bring about high ideals, clean sport, good living conditions and all kinds of heipful relationships in the community, and the fundamen- tal service whieh the Hunter “Y” seeks to render is to develope young men and boys in the principles of Christian living. The young men and boys of any city are her great- est assets; by their character they determine the city’s morals. For some time there has been a great demand for the promotion of boxing, but because of changing personnel in instructors, we have been unable to get very far, Box- ing has become a fine art, void of much of the former barbarous “knock-downs and drag-outs,” it is in-a-way called “American Jujutsu.” All persons who are interested in this popular sport are asked to be present each day at five o'clock each afternoon, to meet Jack Wil- son, an ex-heavyweight fighter, who is giving instructions. An in- terest has already started in the classes that began this week.

Right today more than 1,000,000 Americans have their Permanent abodes in hotels.” And, Mr. Hughes believes, the hotel of the future—towering far into the sky and stretching for blocks along the street level, with its roof landing field for airplanes, its theatres and shops, its great garages and restau- rants, gymnasitims and ballrooms— will be home to fifty times 1,000,000 persons. PASTOR FLAYS CHURCH HEADS "BIGHE WASHINGTON, D. C.—""The Na- tional Baptist Convention ought to be broken up and half the Negroes thrown in jail,” declared Dr. P,P. Samuels, veteran minister of Phila~ delphia, in an address before the Baptist Ministers’ Conference here last week. The present system of teaching of Christ was flayed by the speaker; also the manner in which Negro preachers bring the gospel before the public, in addition to the many church tangles and splits, especially among the Baptist denomination, “phe Negro ruce wants Christian- ity and not ‘churchianity,’ "declared Dr. Samuols. He talked at length on the recent turmoil aroused in the denomination over the murder of Edward D. Pierson, auditor of the National Baptist Convention, and the subsequent indictment of A. M. Townsend of Nashville, Rev. B. J. F. Westbrooks of Indianapolis, both officials of the national con- vention, and George Washington, alleged gunman of Indianapolis, in connection with the case. The conference has been invited en masse, by the Capitol View Bap- tist church, to assist in a special July 4th celebration to be held at Capitol View on Independence Day, with Congressman Oscar De Priest of Illinois as the principal speak- er. Captain M. 8. Caver, chaplain 10th Calvary, U. S. A, Fort Hau- chuca, Arizona, will be another speaker. A New York City couple were married recently on a license ten years old. HOOVER TRICK DESIGNED ha _ AAGIAL DUPE (By Rudolf Jonson) With the administration of the oath of office to Attorney William KE. Hueston, as an assistant solicitor in the office of the postmaster gen- eral in Washington, last Tuesday, colored America was supposedly pacified with a smooth bil of po- litical chicanery on the part of Hooverized Republicans, and Sena- tor James B, Watson in particular. Senator Watson is the majority floor leader in the sengte, and there is no question of doubt that the appointment of Attorney Hues- ton, as secured by Senator Watson was made in an effort to repair the break in the party allegiance caus- ed by the roughshod methods used by the administration in an effort, $4 gor (ho. SRE hy Ue Parker to an associite ju on the Supreme Court bench. Similar Kansas Appointment Although the protagonists of At= torney Hueston, in this section of the country, are trying to lead oth- ers to believe that the position now being occupied by Attorney Hues- ton is the only one of its kind held by any Negro in the country, we produce, verbatim, the following: article from the Kansas City (Mo.) Call, under a date line of June 21, 1930: “David 1, Henderson, known to hundreds of Wyandotte county peo- ple as assistant county attorney, has been named as a solicitor in the legal department of the United States postoffice at Washington, it was announced here today, The position which Mr. Hender- son will fill is similar to the one ac- cepted several weeks ago by Judge William C. Hueston, now of Garg, Ind., but formerly of Kansas City, Mo. ‘The salary is understood to be $4,500 a year The appointment came through the influence of Senator Henry J. Allen Mr. Henderson is a native of Kansas, from Emporia, He has been practicing law in Wyandotte county for many years and has served as assistant county proseeu- tor under two county attorneys. He is recognized as having a shrewd legal mind and as @ trial lawyer of ability. For the past several years he has been the attorney for The Call.” . Chiconery Exposed Thus you will see that the hulla~ baloo raised by Hoover adherents, and Attorney Hueston sympathiz- ers, and Negro Elkdom in general, is unwarranted. It docs not re- quire a mystic wand to remove the capsule from the "Hoover pill” that is being administered to the “polit- ically sick” Negro, and find that the contents are nothing but sweet ened poison. For the benefit of those who have as yet not clearly discerned the motive, we will re- trace some of the ramifications in national politics, preceeding the ap- pointments of Attorneys Hueston and Henderson, of Indiana and Kansas, respectively Since the inauguration of Presi dent Hoover, Senator James PF. Watson of Indiana has been the majority floor leader, and incident~ ly, the leading spokesman of the party, in Washington; Senator Hen ry J. Allen of Kansas has been one of the staunchest supporters of the administration in Washington, ancl is considered in many political eir- cles as Hoover's “right-hand” man. L mention those two points to bring out the significance of the appoint- ments of Hueston and Henderson, shortly after the. crash of one of the President's pet ideas, the confivma tion of Judge John J. Parker as an associate justice on the bench of the Supreme Court Alien Unmindful of Negroes When the opposition to Judge Parker's confirmation began to a- rouse the nation, both Senators Watson and Allen made »rotract~t speeches on the floor of the senate, (Continued on Page Three) PAGE TWO SPRINGFIELD, MASS. Walter White, Acting Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, speaking here in the Municipal Auditorium to an audience of 4,000 at the 21st Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, reviewed the achievements of the Association during the past year and emphasized plans for future work by the Association, notably the economic and political fields. Mr. White detailed the story of the efforts put forth by the Advancement Association which played a large part in causing rejection by the United States Senate of Judge John J. Parker as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. "Negroes opposed Judge Parker." Mr. White declared, "and in doing so made a political demonstration which will undoubtedly be far-reaching in its effect. Because this North Carolina jurist has shown himself willing to deprive the Negro of his fundamental rights as a citizen was but one of the reasons for our opposition to his confirmation. That in itself was important, but it was infinitely more important because it was symbolic of a deeprooted illiberalism which menaces the fundamental rights not only of Negroes but of all minority groups. It would be fatal for the Negro to take a narrowly selfish and personal attitude on questions of such grave importance. It would also be unfortunate for him, whatever the temptations to do so, to fall into purely punitive action. "What will be the results of the defeat of Judge Parker? Immediately there are several results already observed. Success in that effort to defeat a man whose chief claim to office was that he is a Republican in North Carolina has heartened and encouraged eleven million American Negroes and their friends and demonstrated what organization can accomplish. The result has created a new respect for Negroes among white people, for in this movement the Negro has done what any sane man would and must do, that is, protect himself by helping keep the Supreme Court free from justices who do not believe in all parts of the Constitution and who are afflicted with prejudices and a narrow social vision. "A third result is that notice has been served upon those who would keep the Negro down that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment still mean something and can, through intelligent and wise organization, be made to mean a great deal more. "A fourth result is that notice has been served upon demagogues, especially in the South, that no longer can they with impunity climb to high political office on the backs of helpless black people. The elimination from public life of men of the type of Cole Blease and Tom Heflin will be one of the greatest things for the intelligent, liberal white South as well as for the Negro that have occurred since the Civil War. "The struggle which the Negro is making through the Advancement Association is one of infinite importance to the entire country. Unless disfranchisement, arbitrary residential segregation, lynching unequal apportionment of school funds, injustice in the courts, Jim Crowism, and the other evils which are foisted upon Negroes in parts of the United States can be ended, then democracy itself fails in the United States. "The Association re-dedicates its self on its twenty-first birthday to the ideals which have led it during the past two decades. It is determined not to cease its efforts until men and women can exercise the right to vote in Mississippi as freely as in Massachusetts, regardless of race or color. It is sworn to continue its work until men and women are given the right to work and to work at the same wages as others, the only criterion being that of capability and application. It welcomes into this effort against the color bar all those, regardless of race or creed, who believe that democracy can be made an actuality."

Pettis, Deputy Clerk. 6-21-28-7-5 Rockefeller, Jr., Buys 100 Year Old Norfolk Home To Use Bricks In Restoring Colonial Williamsburg THE CHURCH NORFOLK, VA.—In bringing back Williamsburg, the seventeenth and eighteenth century capital of the Old Dominion, to its cavalier days when curled wigs, silk stockings and buckled shoes were beheld on Duke of Gloucester Street, it is not always possible to use the many fine old buildings that are still standing, as the framework for a complete restoration of the historic town to its colonial aspect. Some of the ancient structures, now long vanished, must be entirely restored; others partially restored; still others are standing just as they stood when Patrick Henry made his famous speech against the Stamp Act. These require less materials though great care is being, and will be, devoted to their interior finishing in consonance with the period they represent. In the newly built structures, and the older ones that are being repaired, it is desired to use the old characteristic materials, for the great work now being under way with the aid of Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is not imitation but reconstruction. Hence old materials are desired even in completely building old homes on the plan of their vanished prototypes. Colonial Williamsburg, Inc., which has the work of reconstruction, has recently purchased the bricks, handwrought iron railings, and similar old material used in building the old Core home, at Bute and Bousch Streets, Norfolk, more than one-hun- OILING OF ROADS TO PREVENT DUST With a view to preventing dust, oiling of unpaved highways in Indiana was continued this week and considerable progress was made, according to the weekly road report of the Chicago Motor Club.

This beautiful old home, one of many in Norfolk, is the latest structure to surrender to the march of progress. Skyscrapers now surround it and it will be torn down shortly to make way for a new building for the Virginia Electric and Power Company which will occupy an entire block. Thus the old home built of the lasting materials of an earlier day, will help to preserve the appearance of antiquity in the Colonial Williamsburg. Mr. Rockefeller is.

Nutt of that city. The trouble originated in the crowding to the curb of an automobile containing three colored men. When they protested to the white woman crowding them, a white police officer had them taken to the police station in a patrol wagon where the colored men were beaten with fists and rubber hose. Mr. Nutt reports: "When all three had been dragged into one cell, the officer went in and beat them up again with the hose. One officer assisted; others had blackjacks. These men were not allowed to communicate with anyone. Monday morning they wer hailed before the police judge. The officer testified that these men had insulted his wife. The judge ask if they pleaded guilty or not guilty. They said not guilty. The judge then stated that he would teach them to be fresh with women and would fine them $25 and sentence them to thirty days in jail. They were led away to their cells. I might also state the judge used an oath in open court as to these men. After remaining in their cells for a little while, Judge Pancoast remitted their fines and released the men. A colored employee in the City Hall had heard of the events and went to see the judge. The local N. A. A. C. P. has taken up their case.

You Will Always Buy Dog Trains For Aerial Loops A VIRGINIA BEACH. VA.—"Loopy" Mike, four months' old pup whose ancestry nobody knows, is away ahead of his canine pals when it comes to aviation. "Loopy" got his name from summer vacationists here due to his insatiable appetite, not for juicy steaks or expensive dog biscuits mind you, but for his almost incredible enthusiasm for flying. And plain flying isn't enough either. "Loopy" likes it plenty rough. Dives, spins, rolls and best of all, loops, are his air hobbies. He belongs to Robert Moore, local pilot, and according to his master has never been air sick. If one can overcome dizzyness in a dog, says Mr. Moore, it will be a good air passenger. "Loopy" overcame his dizzyness in two weeks by getting a whirl on a phonograph record two and three times daily. And they have to be good snappy numbers, too, to keep him on. Dr. Hal T. Beans, Professor of Chemistry at Columbia University, who has invented a process for making flexible, nonbreakable records to sell at fifteen cents, sent "Loopy" a dozen Hit Of The Week numbers as his "training grounds." Photo shows young Mike ready to get going. Like the rest of the summer vacationists about, he too, gets a big kick from these latest Hit of the Week numbers which are becoming so popular everywhere.

Hickman has been commissioned by Governor Dan Moody, of the Lone Star state, to set the Londoners right in the case of the lynching of a Negro in Sherman recently, by telling the London newspapers just what happened. According to news dispatches, one London newspaper telephoned to Governor Moody and asked him if that sort of thing occurred often. The Governor said no; but reports have reached Texas that London papers printed accounts of the lynching which told of women tossing fuel into the flames. Hickman will assure London that nothing of that sort happened. Hickman sailed with the Simmons College Cowboy Band of Abilene, a 40-piece outfit, which will spend six weeks playing in England and on the continent.

IF YOU find, a few years hence, that your household heating bills are considerably lower, the chances are you can thank the shirt-sleeved gentleman in the picture. He is Professor L. E. Seeley, of Yale University, and his job at present is experimenting with oil burning furnaces. Professor Seeley's laboratory houses a regular oil burner clinic with representative type burners and boilers as subjects. By switching the burners from one boiler to another and operating them at their maximum and minimum capacities, he is able to get a series of different tests. During an experiment, Professor Seeley keeps a sensitive finger on the pulse of each patient, noting its reaction under all operating conditions and scientifically checking up on the efficiency of each combination. Heating engineers and manufacturers of automatic heating equipment are following the experiments with keenest interest. Upon the com- VISITS RELATIVES Mr. William Simmons, of White Plains, N.

What price would you pay if it wasn't for FORD? PARAGRAPHS ter in Washington, at a conference last week, when he stated that the church was "deserting Christianity in favor of churchianity." Explaining his statement, he claimed that the ministers were paying more attention to the monetary value of the church and its holdings than they were to the value of Christian service. This thought could be injected into the Pierson murder case. According to the investigations in the case, Pierson was presumably killed because he had recently uncovered a $60,000 loan discrepancy. The little town of Scottsburg will no doubt go down in the annuals of National Baptist Convention history as the "Waterloo of religious bigots and money-changers," while the memory of Edward Donahue Pierson, Sr. will live in the hearts of Christians, not only of the Baptist denomination, but of all creeds, as a martyr to the protection of Christianity against "churchianity."

News of the New Lincoln Garden (By Earl J. Morris) It is encouraging to note that the management of the New Lincoln Gardens is doing every thing possible for the comfort and entertainment of their patrons. High class acts are booked each week, and choice foods are served nightly to insure one of a pleasant evening. There has been considerable rumors that only offensive people have been patrons of the Gardens. This is decidedly untrue; a visit will convince one that it has all the aspects of decency. Rose Howell, a Harborite, made her debut this week as an entertainer. She gave a perfect imitation of Al Jolson singing, "Sonny Boy," and with her own interpolations, she was compelled to sing a blues number three times before the audience would allow her to retire to the wings. The floor show is very good under the circumstances, but a couple of girls should be added to the chorus to give a good effect. Yvonne Fuller certainly gave her auditors a very pleasant surprise, when she sang "The Vagabond Song." She seemed to put her very soul into the song.

Although Senator Watson was suave enough to steer clear of the Negro-angle of the Judge Parker confirmation, Senator Allen supported his vote for Parker with the statement that "he stood with Hoover, regardless of what the Negroes of Kansas might think." Futility of Efforts Seen President Hoover, Senator Watson, Senator Allen, and others of their ilk were unable to foster such a vehement appointment on the shoulders of the American people, and the Negro race in particular. The President and his advisors are beginning to see the "handwriting on the wall," as is being written by his Negro constituents. In an effort to ameliorate that difference, he has two of his strongest supporters, in a fight against Negroes, turn around and appoint Negroes to inconsequential positions, even though they may never have been held by Negroes before, and then "broadcast the bolognay" to the pub of the Coln Garden and lose his wonderful showmanship, but instead he gets better and better. The "Keed" certainly extends a hearty welcome to patrons and gives them entertainment in the superlative degree.

"The Gary American enters the field without malice or envy toward anyone. It has no axe to grind. Neither does it have anyone to punish; it has but one aim, to which it will cling with pious devotion, and that is to stand squarely in defense of the rights of the black American."—Prospectus of The Gary American No. 1, November 10, 1927. A CHURCH FOR EVERY 40 NEGROES One-third of the wealth of the Negroes of the United States has been invested in church property. Read that statement carefully. It means that out of every dollar which we have invested that thirty-three and one-third cents of it has been given to build costly and pretentious churches. Recent statistics, just released, are the authority for the statement, which adds that there are nearly 300,000 Negro churches in the United States. In other words, there is a Negro church for every forty members of the race! "This is sodden business," as Shakespeare would have said. It is the kind of thoughtlessness, indeed, which is particularly responsible for the present economic insecurity of our group. Instead of investing their savings in things which will be productive of accrued wealth and give employment to the increasing horde of Negro high school and college graduates, Negroes have been putting one-third of their earnings in property which is unproductive of capital, employment or merchandise—three factors which are essential to a sound economic structure. And the things goes on, year after year without limitation, until the confidence of the masses is becoming shaken in the sincerity of those who persist in urging this wild orgy of spending. Gary, like every other community where there is a large Negro population, has witnessed this Today, there is only one church in this city which is entirely free of debt. Others are steeped in debt. Still others are encumbered with liens, mortgages, and other impediments. Many others remain unfinished, and members of these are perforced to worship and hold their meetings in the basement, with no assurance that the building will ever rise above its uncompleted stage. And yet every year our boys and girls who graduate from high school and college are compelled to accept menial positions and live from hand-to-mouth. They cannot find jobs in the churches. There is no work there for them to do—and be paid for it. CHOOSE THE ADVERTISED PRODUCT—FIRST Stores which employ Negro clerks or advertise in Negro newspapers give strong evidence of their sincerity in inviting the trade and patronage of colored people. On the other hand, stores and merchants who neither employ colored clerks or advertise in colored newspapers give no evidence at all that they invite and appreciate the patronage of colored people. That is why you can always be assured that the merchant who regularly advertises in your group newspaper is inviting your patronage and will show you the utmost courtesy and consideration in dealing with him. Your best guide to good merchandise, backed by courteous service and sold at fair prices, is the advertising which appears weekly in the columns of your group newspaper. Merchants who do not advertise regularly in your favorite newspaper by that sign indicate that they are not particular about getting your business. If you insist upon giving it to them, the chances are that you will be little satisfied afterward. A store which advertises in the columns of your own newspaper dares not do so without having every intention of giving you good merchandise, full value for your money, all backed by courteous treatment. These stores would not advertise in the colored newspaper if they did not intend to give service, show courtesy and appreciation for your patronage, and give evidence that they desire your continued business. Where ever possible, colored people in Gary are finding it much more satisfactory to trade at the stores which advertise in their own newspaper. Where there is a choice of only two merchants in the town and both are selling the same thing, the advertiser whose 'ad' appears in the colored newspaper is being considered first, and the non-advertiser gets but scant attention. POLICE DRAG - NET FOUR ARRESTED GAMBLING In a police raid at 2237 Adams street, Saturday night, four men were arrested and charged with gambling.

CENTRAL CLEANERS LAUNDRY CO. 10 E. 19th Ave. - 2-5641 A BODY BUILDER Most of our ills and primary causes of disease are due to faulty elimination. No disease can be cured unless the bowels move regularly. If the bowels do not move properly toxic poisons accumulate through the bowels into the blood. Therefore it is important in treating chronic or lingering disease that the bowels move regularly. DR. MICHAEL'S ALL-HERB TONIC acts as a mild soothing TONIC laxative. It thoroughly cleans every fold, tube and gland, of the entire alimentary canal, it flushes out cleans and strengthens the kidneys, carefully removes the superflous bile from the liver. Therefore it is very essential to rid the body toxins which eliminate through the pores of the body, the urine and bowels, then natures machinery is ready to do her work in a natural way, putting forth rich, red healthy blood flowing throughout the entire system, and health is restored. DR. MICHAEL'S ALL-HERB TONIC imparts making and building qualities to the blood. ASK YOUR DRUGGIST ask you bid first THE GARY AMERICAN, GARY, INDIANA WALKER MEDAL BESTOWED (Continued from Page One) of covenants and reservations in deeds to exclude the right of colored people to occupy and use any land of West Virginia. These are both signal victories and will influence decisions in other states, and should influence the minds of the Supreme Court of the United States. The judges in these awards are three executives of the N. A. A. C. P., and the two chief executives of the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company of Indianapolis. Those representing the Company are Mme. A'Lelia Walker, president and Mr. Frank B. Ransom, General Manager. Those who had previously received the award were: for 1924, Mrs. Carrie Still of Little Rock, Ark.; for 1925, Mr. Moses L. Walker, of Detroit, Michigan; for 1926, Mrs. J. M. Scott of Los Angeles, California for 1927, Mr. Neval Thomas of Washington, D. C.; for 1928, Mrs. Memphis T. Garrison of Gary, W. Virginia. Mr. Still and Prof. Thomas are now deceased. In the past years the Walker Co. has also given scholarships to junior members of the association to stimulate their activity in the interest of the devolvement of their race. These awards and the various trips abroad which the company has given to leaders of the church and other lines of life, have definitely placed at least one great Negro business enterprise squarely behind the advancement of the Negro race, in religious, educational, and social development. Big human uplift is the sole justification of big business. This beautiful gold medal is of large intrinsic value. Besides, it is not only an honor to the individual recipient but is also a stimulant to group effort and a fine memorial to Madam C. J. Walker, whose life climbed the whole ladder of achievement from bottom to top, and who is, therefore, one of the successful women of her age. It is worth remembering that Mme. Walker made the largest individual gift toward the fight on lynching, in the sum of $5,000. This helped to stimulate the interest which a few years later induced the colored women of America, under the leadership of Mary B. Talbert, to raise the largest group donation to the fight on lynching, in the sum of approximately $15,000. And even in her last will and testament, Mme. Walker remembered the age-long fight which her race will have to wage for its rights here in the United States. One side of the medal bears her likeness. The line of Mme. C. J. Walker Medalists will stand before posterity as representatives of the volunteer officers in the social war for real emancipation. K.

HARLOW Cites Deeds To Prove Claim Of Equal Opportunity SPRINGFIELD, MASS. — That the Negro race has "come of age" in America and can no longer be denied the right to full manhood was the assertion of Professor S. Ralph Harlow, of Smith College, who last night in the Municipal Auditorium addressed the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, now ending its 21st annual conference here. "The Negro race has come of age here in America," said Professor Harlow. "Let there be no uncertainty about that fact. The implications of that fact are far reaching and merit serious consideration on the part of the citizens of this country both white and colored. No race which has produced leaders of thought and action in the realms of science, literature, music, drama, education and religion, such as the Negro race has produced here in America, can be denied the right of full manhood. "We are met here in this great conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People not only to celebrate the coming of age of this splendid association and to take heart as we contemplate these past twenty-one years of tireless and fearless effort; but we are here to assert something of far greater improtance, the coming of age of a race. For the Negro race in America has not only claimed its right to manhood but has proven its right during this past quarter of a century of progress." The giant Sahuaro and organ pipe cacti and the smaller organ pipe or pitahaya cactus of Arizona produce good crops of delicious fruits used for centuries by Indians for sirups, conserves, and dried food. They bear fruit even after three years of extreme drought. The United States Department of Agriculture is studying them as a possible article of commerce and a possible crop for utilization in the arid Southwest.
