U.B.F. PLAN $100,000 HOSPITAL BIG SONG FESTIVAL,ODD FELLOWS TEMPLE,TUESDAY,AUG.4 8:30 P.M. COLERIDGE-TAYLOR CHORUS CLUB Austines Odd Fellows Grand Lodge While not directly concerned in the local sports scene, the very concern about the attendance at the league, and says that the league has anticipated, with Texas, contributing more than its usual quota, since the meeting is so near to the Lone Star State. The conductor of this department, the secretary of the Houston Colored Convention Club would like to hear from those in the city who plan to move to the National Negro League, which meets in Tulsa, Oklahoma City. We are of the opinion that at least three or four cars should represent the overland trip to this gathering, men and women of the race, whose president is Dr. Robert Russell Musselman and women of the Tuskegee, Ala. B. F. DeWalt, F. H. Porter, J. F. Gosar, Oscar J. Polk, James D. Ryan, Andrew D. Howard, W. J. Howard, et al? MAXSON FAMILY IN BORROW. The conductor of this department takes this occasion to extend to President and Mrs. C. H. Maxson of Bishop College, Marshall, Texas, his deepest sympathy in their hour of sore distress and bereavement. A few days ago the Death Angel visited their home and their son, Robert, "slept with his fathers"; succumbing to a brief illness. This sad intelligence will be deplored by all who know the Maxson family and their contributions, sacrifices and efforts at the East Texas institution of higher learning for colored youths; for close on to two decades Mr. and Mrs. Maxson have been unselfish in their service to the race and humanity at Bishop College. President Maxson is a native of Iowa and served in the educational field in the Philippines before assuming the presidency of Bishop, where he has served longer than any of his predecessors. We know the pangs of sorrow that they must feel over the loss of their son, who had such promising career, but Job, the embodiment of faith in the face of affliction and adversities, uttered words of consolation when he exclaimed: "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord." Therefore, in their hour of sorrow and grief, we wish to assure Mr. and Mrs. Maxson and family that they have the sympathy of all former and present Bishops, as well as friends to the school and Negro education. THE HOUSTON INFORMER AMERICA'S FRATERNAL WIZARD HON. WILLIAM FELGA BLED80E, Sr. Marshall National and State Grand Master United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten. N.A.A.C.P ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS AT DENVER SESSION Special to The Informer: Denver, Colorado—The N. A. A. C. P. has made public the resolutions adopted at the sixteenth annual conference held here last month. The resolutions in part are as follows: Alma of the Association. We have before us today five major aims: 1. The complete abolition of lynching and mob law; 2. Political education; 3. Better education; 4. The absolute ending of segregation of all south African areas. Let no one think that lynching is stopped in America as long as one is denied and even burned by mob. There is no political salvation for the black body and body and the republican party or by any other party. A free, intellectual and place of no honor, or salary is worth its loss. We again hands off fellowship and syriot to all the working people of the country with them as equals and as fellows, striving through organization to make modern industry demand monopoly and private wealth in credit and capital and to make social welfare and to make widespread effort to deny us high school training and to keep our young out of college and professional education. We believe in humanity; we believe in the social and civic values of all African people and in the every effort to separate, segregate and publicly humiliate human beings. We are fighting residential segregation in the United States. We are attacking disfranchisement in the South by bringing the white-primary vote to the ballot. The Bullard Slander. Resolved, That we note with disgust and disgust the attempt of the militant group to banish, and the United States Army to defame and discredit the men of the Ninety-Second Division (Colored) of the Army in France. A cloud of witnesses has arisen to overwhelm with denials this assistant of brave men and faithful men, and to add to a retaliation so complete and signal. But we feel impelled to record the actions of the Bulldar's action as a hostile gesture, most improper in any army officer, from the element in the South that has been the most dwellling, and as a gossip, wanton insult to ten per cent of the people that whose wages and whose servile he is. Haiti. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, as an organization, respectfully reminds the president of the United States and its accession, and sovereign政权 of Haiti it is still occupied, in defiance of international law, and sovereign law to represent that all of the purposes alleged as excuses for this illegal occupation have been achieved. The United States the constitution of Haiti has been destroyed and a new one substantiated. The constitution sought advantages denied under the old constitution has made its desired purpose in the subjugated states can sugar corporations are now proselytically installed the time has come for us to ful fill our belated obligations to this opus. The American Army as an American troops base withdrawn from Haiti at once and the country is still survive. Bledsoe Directs Forces Here In Annual Session Texas Fraternal Organization Holds History-Making Meeting Here This Week—Grand Master's Annual Message Says U. B. F. B. Lead in Per Capita Wealth—Celebrated in Galveston Thursday—Ft. Worth Singers Starred—Halverton Welcomes Body—Net Assets of Order $376, 347.78. For the first time in the last two decades Houston is entertaining the grand lodge of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, a fraternal beneficiary organization of which W. F. Bledsoe of Marshall, is both the national and state grand master. It has been many, many years since this order met in grand session in Houston, despite the fact that this order, the first of the race in Texas to acquire a home office building, has holdings in this city in excess of $300,000, to say nothing of first mortgage loans on Houston homes, churches and school. Delegates are here from all sections of the Lone Star commonwealth to attend this the 39th annual session of the grand lodge and third annual session of the grand temple as such. The grand temple in the Texas jurisdiction was organized in Marshall July 1922. Mrs. J. D. McClelland of Palestine, grand princess, is ably conducting the sessions of the sisters. Mayor Pro. T.H. Speckle. Owling to the absence from the city of Mayor Oscar F. Colcombe, who has the unique distinction and reputation as being the "most travelingst" mayor that Houston or any Texas city ever had, Mayor Pro Tem H. A. Halverton, dean of the city fathers, delivered a very able and cordial welcome address, turning over the keys of the city to the grand lodge and grand temple of fliers, delegates and visitors. There was such a chord of sincerity and earnestness characterizing Mr. Halverton's address that all present could not only sense it, but really feel it. This city commissioner, who holds down the mayor's job when the chief magistrate of the city is on one of his perennial trips, is not necessarily an eloquent person, nor can he claim to be a history, but there are few lessons in Household practice that make a better impression with our people on such occasions or receive a more hearty applause than Commissioners Halverton. He told of Houston's position in the maritime, commercial, social and business realm and said that no city in the South possessed a finer set of colored citizens. He recounted some of his early experiences in this city and told how faithfully the colored men stood by him. He also took occasion to praise the superb singing of the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club, which furnished music for the opening program. Prof. A. W. Jackson, principal Rosenberg Colored High School, responded to the mayor's welcome in his capacity and humorous manner, taking occasion to laud Grand Master Bledsoe for what the U. B. P. and S. M. T. of Texas had been able to accomplish under his wise and able leadership. Welcomes and Responses Welcomes on behalf of local juveniles, local temples, local lodges and religious-educational forces were delivered by Miss D. Lee, Mrs. R. L. Easter, Prof. Nat Q. Henderson and Rev. J. Mercer Johnson, respectively; while responses to these were made by Mrs. M. B. Cooper of Dallas and Prof. S. S. Willis of Terrell. On the whole, the addresses were on a high order, and though the program was tardy getting under way and consequently ran rather late, very few persons left the church until the final number on the program had been executed. Mrs. Mollie Davenport introduced the grand lodge and grand temple officers, representing two beautiful sterling silver goblets to the grand master and exquisite flower container to the grand profession. Fraternal greetings were brought from Louisiana jurisdiction by Mr. Lewis, who presented the national grand master with a white gold watch, same being a gift from the Pelican State jurisdiction for the able and astute manner in which Mr. Bledsoe had handled affairs and straightened out matters in their state. The travel of authority was presented to Grand Master Hirschbein and Richardson, who spoke briefly on the functions of the executive officer and Coloridge-Taylor Choral Club. The musical numbers on the opening program were of an unusually higher quality than the Choral Club, of which Mr. R. O. Schoen is pianist-director, having charm of a club new honors and literally sang their way into the hearts of its auditors, eliciting comment of the most acclaimed musicians, coaches, delegates, visitors and native residents who hear this group sing Down to Business. The first business session of the grand body was held at Antioch Hall, where the usual procedure incident to getting the grand lodge and grand temple unruled two credential committees, readiness of the grand master's proclamation, and the officers were submitted. The first number on this program was the annual address of Grand Master who had his annual message in print, form for the first time in recent years. In the course of his address he "I congratulate you upon the possession of race conscious principles, by which our fathers founded this order, so that spring, imitation, jim-crowism, color department of another race's order, may never be our sad plight and fearful end. The United Brothers of Friendship, and Sisters of the Mystery of the Family of the Family of the Mysterious Ten, is not a mushroom upstart, clamoring in noisy tone for influence and consideration, but an institution more than three quarters of a century old." The poor Negro slaves, feeling the innate spirit of liberty in 1850, began to purchase their freedom from their masters, and then the freedom of their wives and children, until there was sufficient number of able bodied, race loving men, to establish this magnificent and redeeming race institution, which was organized in 1854, and chartered in Louisville, Ky., 1851. The good news and glad tidings that it brought to those had been bound in shackles around their ankles, and handcuffs around their wrists, separated in their homes, no husband for wife, and wife for husband, no father for children, no children for fathers, no brother for sister, no sister for brother, no books no schools, no teachers, no Bibles, no Sunday Schools, no fireside, no marriage certificate on the walls, no gospel preacher, to give them the bread of life, received gladly the message, and since its adoption for the sons and daughters of Africa's soil, it has been KEEPS THE RECORDS STRAIGHT A. in every way and respect, co-equal with the growth of our great country, and with the growth of our people, to dare and do.

"More than two hundred and forty or fifty years of Amee clan slavery over the years," historical, racial loving and financial battleshes of the Negro in Kansas, possible for his restoration. God and our race leaders, however, have been the pillars of fire by nights, and of clouds by day, for larger schemes and undertakings for the future of our great race. "The United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of Mysterious Ten, being the oldest fraternal association for Negroes of the world, have met many complicated matters, as pioneers, and are yet meeting them. I am of the opinion that these handicaps and interferences are only providential warnings for us to better organize our forces, and to better develop our growing fields of activity, and the enlargement of its borders. Under our present and efficient management of the grand lodge and grand temple, with the greatest membership in the world, we have renewed our strength. We have taken new courage and delight to chronicle the facts that this institution, founded upon the principles of justice, mercy, and truth, of soul and heart, men who belong to the race of races, with "races" consciousness and hope, and which has today all the pulsation of a healthy, vigorous, racial life, and steps forth to conquer. Not new worlds to satisfy personal ambition, not to glory in newspaper publications, with big glaring headlines, but not the most重大, but most of the most agreeable, the elements of which are utterly indispensable, when it comes to the true growth and strength of a race or a nation of people. So we stand today, a band of many thousand of the most aristocratic blood of the race, banded together by an indissoluble union, and have placed ourselves and our all upon the racial altar, as a sacrifice for those who shall come after us. We have by no means finished our course in this exceedingly great work, in giving to the race a wealth of fraternal unity. No Jim PRICE: 5 CENTS NO. 11 CAPITAL ORDS STRAIGHT BRUDER, Houston.

But we must thoroughly qualify ourselves, by the principles of Justice, mercy, and truth, to aboliish this type of American protest. We must be more conscious of the need of a and development will continue through eternity; for only One, the Almighty God, is infinite, and perfect in knowledge, organization, character, and purpose. We must be more conscious of the ultimate nature, with indefinite programs, but with unlimited influence and power. We must give to the world an institution that means righteousness, the right of the people, the right of the food for the hungry, the home for the homeless, clothes for the naked, schools for the ignorant, and neglectful. We must be more conscious of the importance of our race, religions light for the upheldness of the people, the right of the people, the right of the own way, the reaping time will come. "The obtaining of wealth and richness in all their varied forms, are important and popular ideas, but there is nothing in the universe save Almighty God that is the only one that is the human life. It was human life and intelligence that gave to the modern universe its value. In old ages, when dragons wallowed in their way, the old world was the world of the old, the old silver sockets, and their shining declared the glory of God, the sun rises and the sun sets with all their natural phenomena, were probably the same as the world of the old, and are those scenes of beautiful landscapes, without an eye to behold them? What are the sounds of harmony, the music of the spheres, without a civilized world? The sound of the world is the intelligence to comprehend them. The world waited for man, and when he came, the universe had value. Today, the race is waiting for men and women, of right vision, adequate training, safe and sane sympathy, and rightly di READ NEW ORLEANS NEWS ON PAGE 5 SPICY-RACY-NEWSY 8:30 P.M. and Lodge For Your Vacation Trip TAXI HUMPSON & GREEN Dealers in SAMPSON Deal WOOD AND COAL SUPERIOR SERVICE This means careful drivers, correct weights and coal that gives most heat units and less ashes. 2301 Leland Avenue Phones Preston 883 and 2136 THE WHITE SWAN BARBERSHOP 506 Milam Street NOW UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT The heat of order observed.

The fact that a large offering of innocent women and children—all of who and sixty-three thousand new cases of the United States in the year ending June to be a refitting announcement of no it that 363,000 persons had caught cold: acts on venereal disease, it brings a new wave of sexually transmitted infections, innocent women and children—all of which Three hundred and sixty-three thousand new cases of venereal diseases were reported in the United States in the year ending June 2012. To many folks this may seem to be a trifling announcement of no more importance than a statement that 363,500 persons had caught cold; but to one who knows the history of venereal diseases, the long time and money, of an economic burden to workers and the nation, of the suffering of innocent women and children—all of which have been the accompaniments of syphilis and gonorrhea from time immemorial, and which in the present day can be escaped only by the application of the knowledge of the cause, prevention and cure of venereal diseases. Although the absolute knowledge of syphilis as a distinct disease dates back to only Tick IV when the salaries of Columbus and the disease were paid, it is now that the VIII of France and Ferdinand of Spain spread the disease through Italy—there is evidence tending to show that syphilis has existed ever since cities were first built and peopled. In the poems and writings of the ancients, mention is made of communicating a loathsome disease by kissing, as well as by other relations between sexes. Emperor Heo-Ang-Ti, who ruled China more than 4,500 years ago, caused the medical knowledge of that day to be collected into a single work, and in that it could be found a description of gonorrhea as well as of a disease similar to syphilis. Down through the ages venereal diseases have come. They have been nursed by immorality, by ignorance, and by a false idea that they were punishment visits upon minors—an idea that ignored the fact of innocent incest and the fact that it was a crime. They have been their full courses,死身 death, insanity, loathsome scars, painnacked wives, stillborn children, and undismless and suffering in their wake. Then, as now, venereal diseases took their toll from all classes of people. Rich and poor, ider and worker, moral and immoral, who all became exposed were infected. But there is one difference. in ages past there was no public clinic. In modern science, however, has evolved a method of cure. Though it is not always possible to undo all the harm which has been done. today an infection can be prevented by the use of a clan or in an official public clinic may prevent the worst consequences of venereal diseases. It is said that in Russia today there are communities in which 90 per cent of the people are infected with venereal disease. From Canada comes a number of cases, and this last fiscal year an increase of 24,328 cases of venereal disease over the last three years; and these are said to be only a fraction of the actual existing cases. Many of the people who had this last fiscal year an increase of 24,328 cases of venereal disease over the last three years; and these are said to be only a fraction of the actual existing cases rather than to spreading infection. As late as the year 1873 there were 10,000 cases of venereal disease in the government and its board of health accounted for this situation in these words: "Syphilis may be considered as the most important cause of de A.

Box 125, NEW MILLION DOLLARS WILL BE BET IN NEW ORLEANS ON WILLS AS HE FACES JACK DEMPSEY It is estimated that when Harry Wills finally meets Jack Dempsey a million dollars will be bet in Wills here in New Orleans, where Wills is the favorite. Arrangements are already underway for a special train to go to Wills was born in Greta, really a suburb of this place, though strictly speaking it is not in Orleans but in Jefferson parish. One of the passengers on the special train to the fight will be the aged mother of Harry, if she can be prevailed upon to go. She is now living in New Orleans and says she is confident her son can whip anybody who climbs into the ring with her boy. Jack Dempsey is not intended to fight Wills. The action of the New York state boxing commission in deciding that Dempsey must face the New Orleans boy, appears to have met with the hearty approval of the white people here, all of whom are strong on Wills. These, with practically all of the colored sports, see in Dempsey's desire to postpone the fight until September a year off, that the boxing champion might make a lot of cash that he can in the meantime and predict at the last moment he will announce that he has retired from the ring.

ENTERTAINS VISITORS WITH WHIST PARTY George Jones, one of the best known characters around town, in recalling some tales of Wills, told of the trip he made with Harry to Havana, when Jack Johnson fought and lost the title to Jess Willard. George illustrates how keen Wills' observation was 'way back there. He says he had he put his money up on Johnson, and he said he had not put it on the fight and that the day before the fight Harry announced that he was not going to bet on Johnson. When asked why, Wills said: "There is something queer about this thing, for there is no doubt but what Jack is the better man, but I have been noticing how he is eating. Why, Jack's eating all kinds of heavy food, plenty of biscuits, a plate full of chicken at a meal and everything else, and he is not going to put up a fight that means he does not intend to put up a hard fight and I am not going to put my money up on him."

The book of James was written to encourage those who were passing through sora trials and persecutions. The pre-eminent alm was to show these humble beings the way to salvation times. James recognized the difficulties of Christian living resulting from the persecution of the sora and knew also the added difficulties of pride, jealousy and cowardly compromises which might spring up within them, and with the realities which inhere in the religion of Jesus Christ. *Resolving the Engrafted Word* (VII). 1. What is the Engraved Word? "Engragged" means implanted. In verse 10, the Word is beaten by the Word. The figure is that of a planting of the seeds of truth. The Christian doctrine as conceived by the Holy Spirit result in regeneration. The divine method of regeneration is made living and active by the Holy Spirit. 2. How the Word is Received (v. 19) (1) "Be swirled to heat." This means to be ready and eager to use every opportunity to get acquainted with God's Word. Obedience to this injunction will make one diligent in the reading of the Word of God in church services where the Word of God is being taught. From what follows we infer that this refers to religious controversies. It means that in the places of worship or in the church, we must give respect and thoughtful attention to what our Christian brethren are taught. (2) "Slow to wrath." Heated discussions develop in our conferences, even when we gather to converse. Sometimes one may even fancy that anger is justifiable. In much cases we should remember the injunction, be 3. The Reason for Receiving the Word (v. 25:21) Christ must not worketh not the righteousness of God." Angry debate among Christians never helped to make known God's righteousness. He was the victim of his depravity. Therefore its expression can only have a blighting effect upon the speaker in its reception upon him. In Coming Into Self-Knowledge (v. 25:22) Receiving the engrafted Word through awfulness to hear, and obeying its bake precepts will result in the death of the self which brings true blessings. By "doers of the Word," is meant those who make obedience their habitual actions. The truths of God's word will permeate their very life and be expressed in their speech. Those who hear and do not obey are self-deceived. Those who go through the form of religion without coming under the guidance of God will gaze into the mirror beholding the natural face, and then go away and return. III. Pure Reason (v. 25:27). This means that those who have become doers of the Word will in their manifest the following traits: 1. Bridling the Tongue (v. 20). This means that they will speak with the tongue and but one tongue. The ears are expand, but the tongue is wished to be retracted. The condition reveals the condition of the physical system, so the use of the tongue restricts the ability to sympathize With and Help Sympathize With and Help (v. 27). The knowledge that are the symbols of helplessness and need. Those who have true plerty will visit such people and keep them Unfettered From the World (v. 27). Keeping Himself Unfettered From the World (v. 27). The true life will separate himself from the world. Giving Up Pleasure When we have given up an inimediate pleasure for character's sake, we make a sacrifice.

It was named after Bowie had occasion to sight with a broken knife and found it effective that he equipped his men with long, sharp knives. The knife, ever sharp, on one edge only. Since knives quite similar in design were in use in Mexico it is probable that the bowie knife was invented. Reason Not Enough Strangely enough, it not in our reason that moral life has its being.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1925 WELCOME. U. B. F. AND S. M. T. OF TEXAS! Rich in its racial heritage and boasting an original Negro origin that antedates the Civil War, founded and made possible by the sacrifices of the early pioneers, heroes and martyrs of the race, the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten are holding their 39th annual grand session in Houston this week. Headed by one of the smartest, shrewdest and most brilliant fraternal leaders in America, William Felga Bledsoe, Sr., of Marshall, Texas (who is also national grand master of the order, having been elected at the national gathering in Hot Springs, Arkansas, last summer, by acclamation), the order in Texas has proven a veritable pioneer in the economic realm and years ago showed and pointed the way to a better and more glorious day for the men, women and children of our group within the confines of the Lone Star State. When Houston's business area began to expand in such a startling manner and office space and business sites for colored professionals, the community began to the challenge the far down the section was concerned, the United Brothers of Friendship came to the race's rescue in this city, and not only purchased and turned over to the race one brick building, but acquired possession of two brick buildings and saved the day for the professional and business colored men in "Heavenly Hous The Informer says this not to even attempt to disparage or discredit what other lodges have done in this city and state in this respect (for this editor is a member of practically every worthwhile order in the state and rejoices with all in their progress and success in the work of the mission), Texas for all to perform well their part without infringing upon or diminishing the glory of the other), but in mentioning the above fact The Informer merely wants to give credit where same is due. As a people we too often fail or hesitate to give credit and honor where same are due, but even though we fail to accord such respect to the mission and its achievements, the failure to do so does not take away the fact they offer the program in a most creditable and complimentary manner. The United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten exult in the fact that their order owes its conception, birth and growth to men and women of their own racial contingent, among its lamented and illustrious pioneers being Marshall W. Kearns, and others of the days that tried and tested men's very souls. The early pioneers of the order, before its organization at Louisville, Ky., on August 1, 1861, conceived the idea that human slavery was a damnable and diabolical institution and thus they (those who were able to secure their freedom in various manners) banded themselves together and devoted their energies and resources to the mission and others of the members of their race to cross the mythical line, that divided the free soil from the slave territory, into a more humane and civilized clime and section. When the war of secession came and America's perpetuity was hanging in the balance, these black men marched forth to the fray by their sarcastic uprising battleships helped to usher in for us and this republic a better day. The history of the order is rich and it has bequeathed to the race a legacy that time's corridoring influences can not destroy now the cycles of time dim its habit, which the early founders and merchants of the order tend, and taking cognizance of what the order is doing today under its present administration. The Informer delights in extending a most cordial welcome to these exemplars of practical Christianity as they hold their deliberations in our room. Houston is pre-eminently located and situated for its development into one of the greatest cities in all the great Southwest, and is truly destined to become one of the world's largest inland ports, with its eightieth railroad and interurban lines meeting twenty-three shipping lines at Port Houston; a city of beautiful architecture, with its parks and the city that has no peer in the South in affording the opportunity to make a decent living and then permitting him and his to enjoy the fruits of his labors unmolested and undisturbed. Therefore, United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Matterious Ten, we bid you welcome to our city and trust that you will be able to enjoy Houston" with another grand session within the next few years. The Houston Informer South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper U.B.F.-- (Continued from First Page) rected service, and when they come with a rightly constructed program, the Negro race the world over will find new values in their lives. The leaders of this order, under many of the founders of the harrassments, entered the civil war as a contrariot as directed by Generals A. H. H. and C. H. world that the greatest passion of a race should not be beamed upon a question of money, but upon the question of race. "Since there has been so much of noted publication about wealth of the United States, and the societies in Texas, I deem it advisable, and the best interest of the fraternal order, to give the time to give you the correct financial condition and standing of the various capital. From an investigation and comparison, made by others, not of our own research, we have out through the Masseo Quarterly, giving the estimation of the making of their report: F. is the richest from the order in the State of Texas, having the largest per capita capital, $25, richer than the K. of F. which per capita is ... $25.99 richer than the Migratory Capital." 60% richer than the G. U. O. O. which per capita is 18.5. We have a quarter of the world we stood a quarter of a century ago safely in the lead, and we have no reason to doubt that our people are enmorah or embarrassment to others. We work together, we work together, we work together, each doing his work in a way, and thanks to be Almighty God, let me call upon you, heroes and because of the past and present, by sacrificing of the past, by race, truth, religion and serenity. Amidst sacrificing of our foundation, of our faith, of our world and of this institution wanda, we have a quarter of the world and most precious, and most inspiring social heritages and possessions of our state, race, nation, and world. "Like priest, like people. Like mothers and father, like home and children, and will remain so unless there comes some exterior interference, which is sometimes for good and sometimes for bad; but the home is responsible for the civilizations of the world. I be seech you, good husbands, sweethearts and those that are to be husbands, that you have a Christian home, well provided for and protected, and give your wives a chance at home building. Put the right influences around your homes, and then let yourselves and your wives build a race for God and humanity. Home education based on Christian living, is the hope of our present race. Ils, regarding race relationship as they now stand. We must teach our children to love, instead of to hate one another, beginning with the righteous, the parents." Our Sanitarium. “This sanitation and clinic will be the first of its character ever built by a fraternal society in the world, and is to be the best equipped and furnished in all the country, the cost of the same being one hundred thousand dollars. If we expect to maintain our places in the world's advancement, we must give more attention to preventive diseases and remedies, and therefore prepare ourselves for the great conflict that onset to come with our years of experience and growth. The Negro woman for over two hundred and fifty years, has been dragged from pillar to post, segregated and debased, left to die in cellars, unattended by the proper medical care, and is today the most regulated in the country. The American civilized, when it comes to fair play in matters that pertain to her health. She is carted off and placed in a cellar, while Negro surgeon, as well qualified as any other, must pass idly by, with his hands in his pockets, and cannot follow his profession in the white man's sanitaryium. Away with this condition of things! No race is safe which cannot maintain a vigorous and sanitary health condition. We must take the money from the vaults and treasurers of others, and build for the Negro woman and children of our group, one of the best hospitals in the world, in order that she may be able to meet the need of the医院 for the vitality of the race for the burdens and responsibilities of coming years. Any member of the grand lodge or grand temple who fails to do his or her part in this great movement, has lost the inspiration and hope for the salvation of the health department for his group. Team Work. "work is divine. Let us all in the name of Jehovah, in the name of our God, to the job of this great, needed institution, the job of our God, women of faith, for God and human beings only use men and women of big faith, and S.

The report of the grand medical examiner, Dr. O. L. Bledsoe of Mar- sas was one of the bright spots on the day program, and showed that the doctor had given much time and atten- ture to the doctor's office. In discussing membership drive, Dr. Bledsoe said: "If we are to enjoy the greatness of our office and while we live; if we are to build our race and order to stand the competitive and acid test of our office, a keen and acuti- cating eye should be ever watched, as to the kind of material we are soliciting, recommending, obligating and initiating into our order. Our drives for new members have been very encouraging, men and women having come from all walks of life. But in such drives we must stress and emphasize quality rather than quantity. The records showed that 3100 members had been favorably passed upon by the grand medical examiner during the past fiscal year of the order, almost equally divided between brothers and sisters. In discussing racial mortality, the doctor stated that social or venereal diseases—gonorrhea and syphilis—are primarily responsible for nearly all the diseases of the heart, apoplexy, paralysis in certain forms, insanity and the conception and advent of unhealthy children. Bright's disease led tuberculosis among the causes of death during the past year 24 to 15, while heart failure 18 to 16, pneumonia 18, pneumonia 14 and paralysis 10. Hospitalization Stressed. "The present day discriminations and humiliations heaped upon our poor people, and we are causing us to give this phase of our life much softer thought and serious treatment, and to provide our hospitalization," he said, "is meant the protection of our interests and the care of our race and order. It is a means and an institution where the members of our race and order are involved in the care for their different alliances; where active interest and competent and efficient service are required. We thus leave the 'cellar-rat' status and become real inmates of such else All Officers Re-elected. So well pleased we were the delegates with the annual reports that they must present to the board, we re-elected the entire official family Tuesday afternoon. The entire grand lodge officers; W. F.

We see some amusing statements sometimes in lines of different newspapers. For instance, one reads "We will be going to Wills." When this event is pulled off Mr. Wills will be walking with two cases, and this writer will go to the fight accompanied by two great grandchildren who will report to him the ground—and "When Dempsey meets Wills." This is the season of the railroad their harvest from our group attending grand lodge, associations and conventions. It is an undisputed fact that fraternism has wrought marvelously for the advance of dollars in cash, bills and mortgage, as well as real estate and buildings; but it looks to us like a wilful waste of good hard coin of the realm to hold these annual confab, to the extent that the dollars are dumped into the coffers of the railroad companies, when the business usually transected at these meetings consists in a rattail and executed already already conceived, and executed by the chief executives and their cabinets. We have so often expressed ourselves on the wanton waste of money by the various and sundry church conventions and associations that it seems scarcely necessary to repeat ourselves. When one attends one of these gatherings and listens in at the business sessions and sees the amount of business transacted, he can come to only one conclusion, and that is: the sermons are good, the points of order very parliamentary, the collection fair, and the railroad expense im mense. We are still hoping that the time will soon come when our annual meetings will evolve into bi-ennial or quadrennial affairs, and this surplus money will be expended in financing business enterprises, the need of which must be very apparent to any interested and intelligent person. The monkey was given a clean bill of health at Dayton, Tenn., the other day, by a jury of mountaineers. But one thing has been worrying us and that is, why did they fine that guy named Scopes, when all the efforts seemed to be directed at convicting Darrow? We listened to a lecture last week by Hon. W. P. Bledsoe, national and state grand master of the U. B. P.; and S. M. T. s, at Prairie View College, on "Education." This distorted, gulshomed gentleman made some very pointed observations on the lills which afflict us as a race, and, in our opinion, the remedies prescribed by him ought to bring forth permanent results. The statement that our schools and churches are functioning properly and are almost 100 per cent efficient, but the trouble is found in those entrusted with the home training who are falling down miserably on their jobs, may not be a new thought, but it at least sounds very plausible. This rumor about Leopold and Loeb not being incarcerated in the Joliet prison reminds us of the insistent and persistent rumor anent the hanging of the thirteen condemned soldiers who participated in the 1917 rumpus. No doubt there is just about as much credence to be put in one as in the other. The plight in which the two young local white musicians have found themselves, brought on by their alleged intimacy with two girls in their teens, should serve as an object lesson to our mothers who are so engrossed in missionary (?) and club work that they never have time to devote to the proper rearing of their girls, as well as to those men of our group who love to boast of their "chicken" companions. "The mill of the gods grind slow, but they grind exceedingly fine." Miss Muriel Vanderbilt married Mr. Fred Church, says a news story. Miss Vanderbilt need worry no more about going to church; Church will seek Miss Vanderbilt, at least as long as the change lasts. If the city persists in extending the automobile parking zone, by the time we get our new Rolls-Royce on a Ford frame, we'll have to park it at our front gate at home and walk to the office. O, well, there are those pretty little motor busses, which by that time will have become common carriers, and perhaps we can ride one of those without having to take an additional ride in the city's limousine. We regret very much being out of the city this week while the delegates and visitors to the grand lodge of U. B. F.'s and S. M. T.'s are here, but we assure them that they have our sincere welcome to anything they may desire while here. All we ask is that they leave us the old jail and the new auditorium, as well as the prospective new high school—take anything else. The same welcome holds good for the boys of the three links, next week, along with the sisters of the Household. We have delegated our chief (the editor) to do our entertaining for us.
