MALONE HEARING DEFERRED HOME EDITION THE MIRROR BY C. F. RICHARDSON ANSWERING ROLL CALL This joke is often told on the hymns "Hate and colored church congregation," "Hate and colored church race" attitudes towards punctuality. The story goes that a person passed a white church and heard the white church called Up Vonder. I'll Be There," while the congregation in a colored church white house of worship, was singing, "Don't Call the Roll 'Till I Get Race." This joke is told to illustrate our race's disposition to disregard time and properly appraise its value. The joke is followed of this conductor, we often read the following: "Lost, somewhere between the school and the studium with 60 diamond minutes. No reward is offered for they missed it." It seems that very few of our people give much attention to punctuality and the practice of utilizing time sensibly. We are known far and near as a race always late to either church, work, lodge or however. However, it is a rare thing for a colored person to miss a "railroad train, which shows that most of our students are on time; that they know that the passenger trains, electric interurbans and part at certain hours, and that those students are missed, who intend to board a passenger train to the station or depot on time, or miss the same." There are known ministers who corrected this tardiness among their colored parishioners—breaking them up of a life-long habit of coming to church on the scheduled time, and being scheduled to begin, by starting church on the scheduled time, and being assured that the tardy generally arrived just in time to hear the dox. Our leaders must teach our people the importance of punctuality—for no man is of much value, either to be employer or himself, who has no regard for time—by starting their meetings, services and programs on time, and then not unnecessarily detaining the people with meaningless and boresome ralaver and poppycock. No race has ever amounted to much in this life or the life to come, that failed or refused to place the proper value on time; and our race cannot hope to waste time extravagantly, disregard the law of punctuality and then measure arms with men and races that appraise time at its proper value and who utilize it to their best advantages and interests. In other words, let's learn to sing the song, "When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder (and down here, too), I'll Be There," and then let's put into execution the punctual sentiment it represents and expresses. ROUND ROCK TRAGEDY. The collision of the Baylor University bus and the fast Sunshine Path on Saturday, with its fatal results to practically one dozen occupants of the University campus, along with those where only romance and joy reigned before. The collision, along with those of Texas of both race, defiles the awful tragedy, and would like to see some immediate steps taken by the university to safeguard the safeguards around railroad crossings in this state. The heavily laden with athletes and rooters from the white Baptist institution at Waco, was en route to the ball game was scheduled between Texas and Baylor; and the train put out an outward outstanding schools and athletes of the Waco school. The officials that close the roadway at the approach of trains, should be installed wherever a public highway crosses the railway track; in order to avoid injuries, with their resultant fatalities and injuries, would be eliminated or minimized. Some states have the "stop, look and listen" law, which brings every driver before essaying to a railway track; but this law is unimportant, until all these grade crossings to see that drivers and motorists observe it; for in our overland travels in some the all these grade crossings, we have observed that very little attention is paid to such books, we have observed that frequently occur in said states.

The fact is that only a negligible portion of the Negro population of the United States is insured in any sort of company. This is the task which the combined efforts of the companies who compose the Negro insurance industry are concentrated on—not getting Negroes to transfer their rikks to colored concern, but rather to upkeep them in the community.

St. Louis, Mo.—The opening clash in the legal embroglio between Mrs. Annie Pope Turnbo Malone, founder of Poro College, and her husband, Aaron E. Malone, took place here this week in the antiquated court room of Circuit Court Judge M. Hartman, with neither of the principals present and with the opposing groups of high priced lawyers sparring for position and time. On motion by E. P. Griffin of the law firm of Nagel & Kirby, Mrs. Malone's counsel, who gave as his reasons the fact that his client had been out of the city and that court attaches were late in getting service on her so that he had not had time to complete his case, the matter was continued to February 2. The procedure was the first real hearing on the petition and receivership issue. The divorce plea probably will not come up until March or April. Mrs. Malone had filed his petition for an accounting of the business in which he is claiming a 50 per cent interest on January, and lawyers, white and colored, all over the city are said to be commenting upon the unreal action of Judge Hartman, who appointed a receiver immediately without the formality of a hearing, when Mrs. Malone might have presented her side, or even notifying her lawyers that such an action had been filed or such a course contemplated. The proceedings in view of the fact that the receiver already has been appointed, had the case come to trial would have determined whether or not the case was adjudicated. The court appointed a temporary building and equipment of the Pore establishment is said to represent an important building and equipment of Malone admits she has made at least a million.

"It's all cut and dried," says these folk. "A permanent receiver will be appointed. They already have picked out a colored man, a lawyer identified with that group, to be a co-member of a group of other members of the opinion, just as they have named an obcestre colored lawyer as associate in the case. The receivership will drag on for three or four years, the business will dwindle. The court will sell, some rich Jew will step in and buy it, and that will spell the end of the case. They have to be moved into Malone does not realise the danger to the welfare of the group in the move that he is making," they say. Others are not so confident Mrs. Malone will lose. "She built up the business and will be able to prove it," they declare. "Malone came here penniless and has a lot of money to move into the new building," they say. In the meantime, white people seem to be almost as much interested as colored folk. Many are sympathetic, while others are surprised to find a million dollar institution of this kind in their midst; still others are said to think for too large a proposition to make more money to move into the new building.

The last action of the judge today was to order $34,000 (eighty-four thousand dollars) in bonds which appeared on the books as personal property to be turned over to the receiver.

NO.37 North Carolina A PAGE TWO North Wild Ponies Presented by the National Geographic **W** Beverly Washington, D.C.) **W** America is facing the burden of a huge cotton crop at low price. North Carolina, which not only produces cotton goods on a large scale, can see the other side of a large scale, can see the other side of North Carolina is passing through a resistance. Due to her steadily intensifying shift from cotton fields to cotton farms, streams to throbbing dams, she has endlessly rediscovered herself on the threshold of industrial power. The Carolinian who in the 90s called his three daughter Holm, Tar and Turpentine, cigarette brands, furniture trademakers and cotton-goodies patterns.

Another center of importance in North Carolina new industrialism is the town of Wilmington, where "the twin city" since its component towns were merged in 1918, but no twins ever showed greater distillation than Wilmington. Here one has the ratelty Eighteenth century and the industrial a mere street side by side with a more street side hyphen. It signifies that "peace" which was sought by the persecutors Moravians who founded in 1755. And that "peace" has never forwardsaken old industries to its amid Winchester's humming hives of industrialism, where 15,000 wage-earners are turning out their products.

That is the sum of her federal tobacco taxes, which represent one-half of those taxes. From the tobacco standpoint, North Carolina's civic twins are really Winston and Tucker, the first perfected cigarette-rolling machine was used, and her fame for the "making" dates back to the Civil War. Durham finally symbolizes education springing out of industrialism, for it is destined by recent bequests to become one of the country's greatest centers of learning. Social welfare programs are symbolized by the nearby state unity at Chapel Hill. The Sky. But all is and is industrial in North Carolina. In the west is Asheville. the gateway to what North Carolina has well named the Land of the Sky. The above sea level so unobtrusive, in all but the tonic atmosphere. Set in a vast bask, Akaville is enriched by the allitudes in the Eastern states. It was on the Biltmore estate, near Raleigh, that a forestry school, the first steps in American forest conservation were established in this region, for the protection of watersheds and hardwood reserves, the Chocote, Nantucket, Anahala and Pisgah areas which encloses more than 1,700,000 acres, the government had acquired, and the river streams are stocked, and heads of bison and elk have been emplaced.

Today there are half a dozen handicraft centers scattered through western North Carolina. Mountain Illiteracy in North Carolina is passing rapidly. In the last 15 years the state-wide ratio has dropped from 185 to 185 Illiterates in every 1,000. Of late years about 4,000 one-teacher schools have been scrapped for modern-type buildings, and North Carolina's educational budget has risen to $11 per capita, or exactly midway between the per capita cost of $8, as averaged throughout the Southern states, and $14 throughout the nation. The Coastal Region. A totally different part of the state is the coastal region with its low lands, its numerous sounds and channels and its off-shore islands of sand—the Banks. For centuries wild horses have been roaming the Banks, and current tradition has it that they are descended from Barbary pontes which were brought over by Sir Walter Raleigh's colonists. From time to time these "banker ponies" are rounded up and driven into corrals made of timber from old wrecks. It is a scene with a far Western tang, flying hoops, swinging larists, and the flash of branding irons. After the branding and calling out, the likeliest animals are auctioned off. They bring now only $8 a head. A few years ago these putative descendants of Raleigh's "little the Barbary ponies" were bringing from $50 to $125 apiece. The auctioneer in explanation, complains: "Tew much gasoline about nowadays!" On the ocean side of the Hatteras banks one finds the greatest wreck area on the Atlantic coast. Along the beach are the skeletons of what were once ships, now blanched victims of the sea and sand, their upstanding ribs resembling files of gravestones, their forests of protruding spikes being the grisly grass of the desert-like expanse. At one point there are 14 wrecks within 100 yards. Off the great apex of the Banks are those drenched quickbacks, the Dia-meres, that are drenched because of Hatteras, due to the enormous tonnage of steel hulls that are used in magnetic navigation sometimes amounting to eight degrees. The hulls one follows the Banks, the more remodeled and robust, the more angular one follows the Banks. Often it appears to be more existence, as of castaways who have taken root on this two-inch width of the water.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1927 The Joke When They Met By RUTH ARNOLD (Copyright.) E LIEN BURKE, sitting in her chair of the puliman as the long train drew into the station at Philadelphia, tucked Peggy O'Connell's letter safely in her handbag. Ellen and Peggy had met on slipboard going to Europe a few months before with their respective parents, and had formed an enthusiastic friendship. This was helped along because Mr. and Mrs. Burke and Mr. and Mrs. O'Connell found each other congenial. On the way home—for the Burkes and O'Connell had purposely returned to America by the same trip—Peggy had collected a price from Ellen to visit her as soon as she had unpacked her trunks. Ellen lived in a New York apartment. Peggy lived in a country house outside Philadelphia. And the two girls planned many good times in exchanged visits. “As soon as you reach Broad Street station,” Peggy had written, “you telephone my brother, Bob.” And then she had given his telephone number and his office address. “He’ll be expecting you and will pick you up at the station and bring you out home.” Ellen had heard much from Peggy. In their many talks together that summer, about her brother, John. And it must be admitted that the part of her education was at school meeting. “I’m looking for a meeting that she would meet this paragon of a brother who, according to his sister, was as good as he was handsome, as popular as he was charming.” Ellen knew something of Philadelphia. And when there was some delay in getting John's office telephone, she realized that she was only a few steps from his office. “I’ll just pop around and wait there,” she thought. “It will save him trouble, and I’m early. I’d rather wait these than here.” So, carrying her small gray suitcase and matching hatbox, Peggy walked the square or two to John O'Connell's office. She hesitatingly opened the door labeled "John O'Connell, lawyer," opened and entered a small waiting room. The room was full—full of girls, girls about her own age, girls younger, and girls a good deal older. “I’ll just wait here until Mr. O’Connell is free,” she said to an office boy, who grinned in answer. Ellen wore, of course, sheer, light silk stockings. She wore gray sweeds shoes, trimmed with bands of snake-skin. Her hat was of soft gray velvet, that was lovely above her fair hair and blue eyes. Her frock was of gray crepe de chine, not elaborate, but very unmistakably expensive. She and Peggy had shopped for it together in Paris. Just as she had taken in all her surroundings a door marked private opened, and a homely, thirty-year-old woman, dressed in blue serge, serviceable and plain, emerged. Behind her came a young man. Ellen's heart skipped a beat. He was wearing a green jacket. Her name always carried with her. "You can all go on," he said to the other waiting girls. "The position at John. The other girls went out of the room. Ellen flushed and half smiled at John. Are you waiting for" "he asked crispy. "Here, come in here a minute." "But," stammered her. "I know you hit the office. I know, I know. But the job is filled. And just for your own good, let me tell you that you'll never get the kind of job a nice girl like you will. You can have a job. Did you see that girl I hired? Plain and relatable. The kind of woman a man likes to have around you. You must have to have her mind on something besides clothes. Now you—anybody's your shoes than your work—and that doesn't do in an office." "Don't feel offended," she said. "the young man just trying to give you his lot of it." "but youre so stupid," said Ellen, as the door marked "Private closed." And she picked up an iPhone back to the station. She boarded the next local train to Peggy home and exchanged a glance with the one that hadn't been able to get her brother on the telephone. So Peggy promptly telephoned her brother not so often. When Ellen and John met that evening, John's eyes were open admirably. In pink tulle, with hair pulled back, he looked at the vision of gray that had disturbed his office calm at mid afternoon. It was not until the next day when he saw that Peggy was at his hotel at that he recognized the again gray Ellen as his office visitor. He looked at the vision of a mouth of grapefruit, and he flushed and stammered more than Ellen had done the day before. "Why did you do that?" he asked. By the time sure that John was all that Peggy had claimed for him and more-similar asyrt, he looked at the vision of a matter—any more than what you did itunes. They both laughed and told Peggy the job. And all three knew, though they said nothing of the knowledge, that Ellen and John would laugh all their lives together ever again. A. B.

MEAT CAKES FOR YOUNG CHILDREN Savory Dish Enjoyed by the Whole Family. One of the best meat dishes to have when they are young children in the family is broiled meat cakes. So it is unnecessary to cook something else for the grownups. For a family of five, you need about 10 cakes, as much meat as beef. Many persons prefer the round for meat cakes, but lean from the less expensive, such as steaks. From whatever part of the carcass the meat comes, have it cut off and ground and knead. Various kinds of meat can be used, but for children the meat itself with metted butter and salt added just before serving gives flavor enough. If you want a richer meat, or two added to the meat given a richer flavor and increases the food value. This is not at all necessary, but can be made by simply shaping the finely ground beef into rather flat cakes and broiling them quickly in a oven to keep them from sticking, or broiled over a gas flame or over hot cakes. The finely ground beef or over not so hot cakes will keep them from sticking, or broiled over a gas flame or over hot cakes when they are cooked. Be sure also not to overcook the cakes. If they are too hot, the cakes they will have more flavor and juice. For very small children, scraped the better than ground beef. This is better than ground beef, the more tender part of a thick piece of round steak. This scraped meat was cut into thin slices, broiled, or baked on bread in the following way. Toast the bread on one side, scraped the meat with butternut sauce, and minutes directly under a gas fire. Corn Bread Always Liked For Breakfast of Dinner Criped corn bread for breakfast is always liked. Make it you will need the following ingredients: If using sweet milk, mix all the dry ingredients together, including two teaspoons of baking powder. Then add the last stir in the melted butter. If using sour milk, follow the game general method except mix together a teaspoon of cold water and add this spoonful of cold water and add this to the batter just before the melted butter is stirred in. Make the corn bread pan and pax in muffin pans if preferred. Quick Bread and Cakes In making quick breads and cakes allow in general one to one and one to four cups for each cupful of flour. Butter cakes that have a great deal of egg cream are better. Oven overers and sponge cakes are the exception and no baking powder is required. DINING ALCOVE IS US DINING ALCOVE IS USEFUL AND CHARMING Ideal Arrangement for the Farm Kitchen. (Prepared by the United States) Here is an ideal arrangement for convenience and warmth, the family's food preparation. By the half-wall the room, the less attractive kitchen is screened from view. The pleasant will, and in northern climates this light-colored walls, painted furniture, above the half-wall, air circulates, within reach of the person at the sink. The sink is one of the best types, and below it is a dust closet with a trap of sweepings. This attractive kitchen incinerator, linoleum floor covering, is cabinet, and even a mirror that permits trim and charming as her surrounding States Department of Agriculture in anticipated in a kitchen improvement co Here is an ideal arrangement for the farm kitchen where, for the sake of convenience and warmth, the family吃 as near as possible to the center of food preparation. By the half-wall that creates an alcove in one end of the kitchen, the family can eat and cook from the center screened from view. The pleasant warmth of the kitchen store, however, is utilized, and in northern climates this is often very necessary in winter time. Simplicity and charm are combined in the alcove itself, with its plain, white walls, and the large window above. Above the half-wall, air circulates, and soiled dishes may be passed easily within each of the person at the sink, although no extra walking is necessary. The sink is one of the best types, made in a solid unit with two drainboards; the sink is also equipped with a sink faucet and a set of sweeps. This attractive kitchen has many other conveniences: garbage incinerator, linoleum floor covering, light over the sink, towel drier, kitchen cabinet, and even a mirror that reminds the housemair to keep herself as trim as possible. The kitchen is also equipped with a department of Agriculture in Dalton, Mass, after the owner had participated in a kitchen improvement contest instituted by the extension agent. Loosely Fitted Sleeve **Proper for Flesh Arm** (Prepared by the United States Department) The loosely fitted long sleeve is the most becoming for flesh arms. A sleeve is best made from the arm appear smaller but rather emphasizes its size. It is also uncomfortable. Loose sleeves which are tightly fitted are well as comfortable. Trimmings and construction lines which follow the length of the arm such as bound sleeves, buttons, etc. are aids in making the arm seem longer and more slim. Peasant type sleeves, or those gathered under the arm, should never be worn by the stout womens. In fact, it is best for her to keep the sleeve as smooth and graceful. Long vertical lines from shoulder to floor are most becoming on the figure that has large hips in proportion to the body, and that can be stripes in the, material, bands or rows of trimming, rows of buttons, or buttons on the body, guarded by keeping them toward the center front and center back rather than at the underarm surface. The hip is also trimmed from the front free from trimming as possible in order that the eye may be attracted to some other part of the dress. The hip is a longer effect than the straight front. To Remove Scorch Stain From Any Cotton Fabric To remove a scorch stain from a cotton fabric, wash the stain in water and place in the sun. For more serious cases the following procedure may be used: Moisten a piece of cotton fabric with water and place the stain on the fabric. Cover with a dry cloth, iron with a medium hot iron, and wipe the fabric through the dry cloth, replace with another cloth. Be very careful to see that the hydrogen peroxide does not penetrate the fabric. Wash the fabric until it rust the very rapidly. Brown stains will then be left on any garment that is not in the fabric's reason, do not iron the fabric from which the stain has been removed until the hydrogen peroxide has been removed. The stain must be used carefully on colored fabrics because the dyes may be bleached fully on any kind of white fabric. Fish as Brain Food There is a foundation for the wide-agreement notion which still exists that fish is particularly valuable as a brain food, and that it is particularly gained headway because fish was supposed to contain relatively large proportions of phosphorus. How much phosphorus is warranted to warrant the assumption that phosphorus is any more essential to fish than any other nutrient, stum, or any other element which occurs in its tissues. Moreover, meat is rich in phosphorus, and as such fish and there are various other foods, for example cheese, peanuts, oatmeal, chocolate and grain flour. Fish is also known to contain much higher proportions. Value of Proteins Cooking as ordinarily employed in the preparation of foods does not impair the nutritive value of the proteins. Many proteins are rendered into a liquid form at too high a temperature, some may be made more difficult to digest.

Lesson for January 30 THE CHRISTIAN OVERCOMING TEMPTATION LESSON TEXT—Luke 6:1-11; I Cor. 10:13, 11. INTERNAL TEMPTION—In that He hath suffered being tempted, He is tempted to be led astray. PRIMARY TOPO—Over God Almighty. TOPO TEMPTION—How to Stand against Temptation. INTERMEDIATE TOPO and SENIOR TOPO—How to Stand against the Tempted. YOUNG PEOPLE and ADULT TOPO—How to Stand against the Tempted. Christ's temptation was Mismanic. No one has ever been tempted just like He was—led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted of the devil (Matt. 4:11). While we are still in the wilderness, we are the same methods on us. This temptation was not: he must be tempted for His work, but rather first of trust. In His baptism we have the symbolic act of the work of redemption through the cross—the redemption of Jesus Christ. 2 It was not to see 16 Christ would stand fast, not to see if He would fall under the most cruel test. He could 8. It was to show Christ as an object upon which we may rest our eyes. 9. The temptation was as the second man, the bead of the new race. The temptation therefore was a demonstration of the Innocence of humanity and human natives in the incarnation. 1. The Temptation of Christ (Luke 1:18). 2. The place (v. 1). The wilderness of Judges. The first man, Adam, was tended in a garden with the most pleasant surroundings, and the second man, tempted in a barren wilderness surrounded by wild beasts (Mark 1:13). 2. The method (v. 2-12). 2. The method (v. 2-12). Man instantiated a three-fold relationship—Son of Man, the Messiah and Son of God, therefore God made each one a ground of attack. (Mark 1:13) (v. 2-14). Satan made his first assault upon Him as a man by appealing to the instinct of hunger. Satan urged Him to eat a stone into bread. Hunger is natural and sinless. Real human life experiences hunger. The temptation was wrong way. To have yielded in this case though He hunger was灭绝. He took the human limitations which He had taken for our sins. In the incarnation He became identified with humanity, and able to abide in fellowship with man. (2 As Measht (v. 5-8). Here the temptation was to graze the meats of the necna. The devil offered to surrender unto Him the world if He would adopt his methods—worship him. The force of the kingdom of the world is the kingdom of the world are Christians by God's covenant with Him. God's world was the world that was the sacrificial death on the cross. Here God is of (god, v. 9-12). Here Satan tries to induce Christ to presume upon God's care. He quotes a Messianic Preamble to induce Him to so act. The do spectacular things that Satan tempts. Satan tempts for Jesus to have placed Him in danger in order to get God's help in delivering the earth. (4) Christ's defense (v. 4; 13. 2) It was the Word of God. He met the women of God and wrote, written. Our defense is God's Word. (5) The issue (v. 13). Satan was vanquished. It isitation of Believers (I. Oct. 10; 12. 8). Temptation is to be expected (v. 12. 10). From the appearance of Satan in the Garden of Eden on down through the ages men and women have been admitted to God and are Gods admixtures unto us upon whom the ends of the word are come. Caution is always necessary. Over- come those to those who rest in the security of their divine election while neglecting a life of holiness. (13) temptation (v. 13). All temptations which come to us are those which are common to the race. No one should assume that his fellow will not allow the temptation to go beyond the ability of the one he will. He provide a way of escape. Through the Needle's Eye Before the cause is proved they took the bearers off his back—King's Business. God's Cross God lay his cross across whom he loved, and whom he bifurc it patiently gain much wisdom—Luther. Praise Praise is contentment rippling over into gritness, like the music of the harp.

DOCTOR HUGHES WILL PREACH AT WILEY COLLEGE Marshall, Texas—President M. W.丹努 announces that the annual religious revival usually held at Wiley College is scheduled for week beginnings. The revival was directed by the Rev. D. W. A. C. Hughee, field representative of the board of home missions and church extension, and the most prominent prospect in the race for the bishopric of Texas is the 1928 session. Dr. Hughee is an able and noted pulpitper, having held positions in Methodism. His convincing style rarely overfalls of results, and he is not a victim of Dr. Hughee's anger. Dr. Hughee is one that will be settled not by scaring people into a religion, but by a gradual convincing them by the actual application of the principles in the man problem. "We must be thinking on religion; but it will be in the wrong direction, unless Christian principles are demonstrated," says Dr. Hughee. Religion must be rational and demonstrable, and the professors among the professed followers of Jesus Christ if it is to be permanently effective, he states. Relics of a people who lived in the valley of the Nile about 14,000 years ago are now on view at University College D! Owners and Heirs Are Difficult to Find. New York.—A heat fortune in unclaimed savings lies in the vaults of New York banks awaiting trace of depositors. The pennies of “Boaters” the world over, from diverging sources and in varying amounts, add to the total which, in one bank alone, has climbed to six figures. Hundreds of depositors have visited banks never to return. They have left their savings and gone, possibly to death, without leaving record of their moves. Owners and heirs to this fortune are hard to find, says Herbert K. Twitchell, president of the Seaman's Bank for Savings, which, in 100 years of business, has 2,586 dormant accounts totaling $290,038.07. The task, however, is a never-ending one and through a department, instituted for the purpose, constant search is made and every possibility of a claimant exhausted. The Seaman's bank is one of many which have similar accounts whose depositors have not been heard of in 20 years or more. After this lapse the accounts become “legally dormant,” interest no longer is paid and the banks have use of the money, but not for individual gain. Up the winding Bovery, in the twelfth of the elevated, wandered apes of the foreign women, old, pale-faced children. Such is the clinic of the island of Mauritius, the accountants accounted $100,000. Once in this parade, a bank office, was Mary Ellen, a quaint old woman, had forgotten some of her accounts and was found to have $12,000 depreciated to bank under four different names. Science May Open Up Fuel Fields of W Washington. — Extensive lignite fields west of the Mississippi, an area now largely coal importing, may be acquired by a cheap, carbonizing coal developed by the bureau of mines. The Department of Commerce closed a statement that the bureau has been unable to supply raw lignite into bequested char fuel and the product is believed capable of meeting industrial demand. The bureau has nearly one-third of the total solid fuel resources of the country, but as it is mined has insufficient heat units to burn the new process. The bureau's new process is applied. It is held Western regions now importing coal may be able to utilize the product. Extensive lignite fields lie in North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Texas. The Commerce department views opportunities of such a process as seldom recognized. Up to the present the relatively cheap rates on transporting Eastern coal via the relatively cheap rates on transporting the full possibilities of lignite. Find Bronze-Age London—Skills and bones of what are believed to have been lake-dwellers of the Bronze Age, approximately 4000 years old, are the thames of the Thames at Sunbury, and Sir Arthur Kelph, famous anthropologist pronounces them at least 4,000 years old. The bones were found about twenty feet below the river bed while accumulated in the riverbed, a construction of a new lock, and they consist of a woman's skull; thighbone of a man's skull; height of a man's arm; right anklebone, and man's right anklebone, is fattened with what the scientists call the "squatter's face," showing the man passed-much of his in a crowding position. The deer also were found, as well as six antlers.

Bustle* — "The kabbalah of the Volga Boatman" is no longer heard along the great river, but it is still the volga. The volga was a stream of romance andaughter, coveted by the Vologa was a stream of cargo boats, but ten years of war, famine and revolution have changed all that. The Vologa was a river that have suffered grievously and the hundreds of thousands of villagers who formerly drew their livelihood from farming and other pursuits. MALONES---- (Continued from Page 1) who will be required to furnish an additional bond of one hundred thousand dollars. MRS. MALONE TELLS Recovering from the first shock resultant from the tangled marital affairs of Mrs. Annie M. Pope Turabo Malone and her husband, Aaron E. Malone, St. Louis, has settled back to watch future developments and to appraise the happenings of the past few days. Widespread condemnation of Malone's action in asking for the appointment of a receiver, thereby permitting white men not only to delve into the affairs of this successful racial insituation and mulct it of large fees, the while observing its inside workings, is perhaps the loudest to be heard in the local comment. Malone had his "day in court" the day he filed his bill, for Mrs. Malone was away from the city. The daily papers ran both their pictures on the front page with detailed excerpts from Malone's divorce bill. She returned Friday and gave in a statement for the press her version of the affair. The dailies have been equally as generous. "Everything he has is the result in my effort," she said. "Every penny I gave to him always directed every move, passed judgment on everything. It was my way of making my own effort which made it what it is today. When I married Mr. Malone in 1914 he did not have a cent. He was a school student and sold Bibles in his sparse school who sold Bibles in his sparse court. The title of "manager of anger" was courtesy, because he was my husband, and I did not wish to shame him. He was the best of an embarrassing situation. This is my reward. The greatest sin I think is the one I ingratiated TUSKEGEE HONORS CLARENCE DARROW, BRILLIANT LAWYER TUSKEGEE HONORS CLARENCE DARROW, BRILLIANT LAWYER (By STANFORD A. PRATER.) Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—It is a very rare occasion to suspend the duties and operations of Tuskegee Institute to assemble in the chapel to listen to a speaker, in mid-day. This happened to be one of the occasions Thursday afternoon, when Hon. Clarence S. Darrow was the guest of the institute, for the day, together with Mr. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. Mr. Darrow from Montgomery, Ala. Mr. Darrow is, doubtless, one of the greatest lawyers before the American bar today. He addressed the student body on phases of the "Race Question," a matter with which Mr. Darrow is very well acquainted. Among the men who are operating things that Mr. Darrow said, he also stressed the fact that color is a matter of taste only and not a matter of betterment or superiority of a race, and that the reason the Negro is hated so by other races is because a black face is a badge of slavery. "The past of the Negro was terrible," he said. "It was not possible to look at." He asserted that all Negroes were made citizens after the Civil War by the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution; that this was their right to become citizens but it did not give them the advantages and opportunities of 10 percent within 15 days. Every judge in Tuskegee will agree that the visit of Clarence Darrow is an epoch in the school's career long to be remembered and cherished. EXTENSION WORKERS AT REGIONAL MEETING IN ORANGEBURG, S.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1927 IS UNCLE SAM A HYPOCRITE OR FOURFLUSHER? When one observes how Uncle Sam will spend huge sums of money in a vain and almost futile endeavor to enforce the 18th (Volstead) amendment to the federal constitution, and then will positively refuse to spend one red copper or interest himself one bit in other constitutional amendments of far greater importance to America and civilization than the prohibition amendment; when we note how Uncle Sam will employ all the governmental wheels if machinery to apprehend and punish a federal employee or plain citizen for an alleged violation of some statutes within the purview of the federal courts, and yet these same courts and jurists are not the least concerned or perturbed at the non-observance of other national statutes and constitutional amendments affecting one part of America's citizenry; when one beholds the double standard of citizenship in this country, he is forced to wonder if Uncle Sam is a monumental hypocrite or a boisterous fourfursher. The American government expends millions of dollars annually in an attempt to enforce the 18th constitutional amendment, which seeks to regulate man's appetite; but the same government refuses to appropriate one penny for the enforcement of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to this same American constitution, whose statutory provisions seek to guarantee to every American citizen the same rights and privileges enjoyed and exercised by others in our boasted democratic republic. Little wonder it is, then, that disrespect for constituted authority has become so widespread and prevalent in this country; for such a situation is certain to develop and obtain in any country where class legislation exists, and where the law is not impartially enforced upon all citizens or subjects alike. If the Southern states can, with impunity, ignore and violate certain constitutional amendments; by the same method of reasoning and action upon the part of their citizens, why can not the Northern, Eastern or Western states observe and respect only those constitutional provisions and amendments that meet their approval or suit their sectional fancy? If a postal employee is accused of stealing a one-cent postage stamp, or rifling a sealed letter, whether it contains money, written message or is merely a decoy, the federal government will exert every effort and press into service every governmental agency to prove the guilt of the accused and indicted postal employee, and to secure his conviction in the federal court, often for a petty and unimportant act or offense. The government will even spend money in an effort to trap certain suspects in the employ of the government; but this same government, ostrich-like, buries its head in the sand when laws The Houston Informer are violated which deny and refuse certain American citizens their inalienable and God-given rights and preagregates, merely because of their own rights. Other nations of the world are quite consistent and pertinent when they advise Uncle Sam to clean up his own house before endowing to direct the activities and dictate the policies for the peculiar country. Uncle Sam, like the government, should start at home and then spread abroad. Again we propound the query, especially in view of the peculiar situation of the United States in international government, "In Uncle Sam a hypocrisy or fourflusher?" VIRGINIA'S LATEST BRAND OF (IN)JUSTICE! Newspaper reports state that a colored youth of 17 summers, accused of a criminal attack upon a white woman, was recently电掇ed in Virginia, after every appeal to the higher courts and the governor of the state had failed to save this youth from a peculiar and novel brand of Southern (in) justice. According to newspaper reports, the victim of the alleged attack never did appear in court to face the accused race youth, nor was any evidence or testimony presented at the original trial secured from the complaining witness under oath; only hearty evidence being adduced by the coroner, and even he admitted, on the stand, that the white woman had told him (the coroner) that she "did not know whether anything had happened or not. It is further stated that the supreme court of Virginia upheld the claim of the original court in convicting the colored youth without evidence, and present at the original trial, thereby validating and rendering admissible hearsay evidence even in capital cases in the Old Dominion state. In sentencing this colored youth to the electric chair under such unparalleled and unprecedented circumstances, the Virginia courts and governor ignored the constitution of the United States, which states the following: Article VI.—Right To Speedy Trial, Witnesses, Etc. In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, and shall have already ascertained by law, to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense. In this recent legal outrage in Virginia, the complaining witness and alleged victim of the attack did not even appear in court nor did she appear before a notary public and make an affidavit in substitution of the version of the criminal attack she is reported to have made to the coroner, who was not a witness, per se, and only told the court and jury what this supposedly outraged woman told him. The testimony evidence was urged with doubt, uncertainty and unreliability. On top of all this legal lynch law, the electrocited race youth was alleged to have been mentally unbalanced; but none of these pleas nor the fact that the basic principle of criminal jurisdiction had been ignored and violated, influenced even the chief executive of the town to grant a stay of execution to this colored youth. William Gee. In the face of such gross miscarriages of justice and the fact that many of the trial and higher courts in Southern states are dominated by the mob spirit, and permit prejudice to sway and influence them in their verdicts and opinions, it is a hard and difficult task for the prosecutor to deal with cases in criminal cases where the two races are involved in the average Dixie community; yet The Informer does not recall that Texas has ever pulled off such stunt as the Gee case in Virginia—the state that recently engrossed national attention by the passage of its 1996 law that criminalizes the use of forcement when family skeletons began to emerge from closets and threatened to make some startling and awful exposes. SOUTHERN SENTIMENT UNDERGOING CHANGE. That Southern sentiment is rapidly changing on the eternal "race question," was again evidenced in Houston last week at the Houston Open Forum, held in the auditorium of the Taylor School on Louisiana Street. When a difference of opinion arose between Dr. Owen Reed Lovejoy, former president of the National Child Labor Committee and an outstanding educational authority and publicist, and Hon. E. A. Calvin, former Texas legislator, on the "Negro problem in the schools," Dr. Lovejoy's answer (according to the daily newspapers) to his interrogation evoked as much applause from the audience as the question fired by Mr. Calvin. When asked by Mr. Calvin if he thought that white and colored children should attend the same public schools in Texas and the South, or if the present Southern arrangement of maintaining separate schools for the two races should prevail, Dr. Lovejoy was quoted as saying: "I agree with you (on the argument that the South should be permitted to solve 'race problem'), but if you are going to expect society to be raised to a higher level, the Negro, as well as all other races, must be educated in international educational relations and political rights the white and American child, also should be given the black child. It must not be expected that the Negro in our midst can become cultured, maintain his virtue and measure up to the standards of civilization, if he is not given these opportunities." Dr Lovejoy contended that where school districts are not financially able to maintain public schools for both races, that one school should serve both races, even in the South; adding that there are large numbers of Negroes, separate schools for the two races should be maintained. Dr Lovejoy emphasized the audience, according to daily newspaper reports, applauded Dr Lovejoy for his courageous and brave expressions touching on this subject, indicates that Southern sentiment has gone and is still undergoing a wonderful transformation on the "race question," and that there are many Southern people who want to see the Negro given a fair and square seat.

OPINIONS INTO THE SECOND GENERATION (by DEAN KELLY MILLER, Howard University) The fathers have built up and down a considerable property estate, mainly in the ownership of farm and land homes. Of the two farm home is by far of greater importance. The farm home is of the nature of production, and it is the home of the land. The real, worthwhile capital which the race has yet accumulated consists of the quarter of a million farms, of which more than a million Negroes direct their own activities and earn an independent living. Otherwise they are by hired hands receiving the pitance and doing the biddance of the white lord of the land. The new generation, the race is losing its grip on this great agricultural estate, in its mad rush after the glare and glammer of city life. What is gained in the city by no means offsets the loss sustained in the country. Several months ago I contributed an article to the Baltimore Manufacturer Record, entitled, "The New Generation of the wild rush city ward," which gain less racial comfort and satisfaction than we derive from first glance. We look in vain for the assuring indications that the race will reach the range of economic and industrial self-afficiency. It looks more likely that its permanent abiding place will be in the city. It is up to the incoming generation to command the industrial and economic life of the race as well as its political fortune. Will the graduation of Hampon and Tuskegee as well as the output of the industrial departments of our state be sufficient to meet the needs of the Our fathers built up a vast religious estate, comprising thieves thousand churches and four million members. This is the most marvelous achievement of the first and most vigorous religion of the time. But here it stands a monument to their zeal and consecration. Be it said to the utter condemnation of the second generation, that they are abandoning this great religious estate. The great religious denominations form the only type of organization which Negro genius has been made. The most important is the very vast, unceasingly, unceasingly and unceasingly the organization that has the binding force of a rope of sand or a coil of smoke. The industrial organizations function but feebly in the economic equation of the world. The development of the world has been a major step in the development of the world, the sick and dead thrive more figurishingly. But after all that has been we'd that can be said, and all has been done that can be done, the outstanding fact remains that the Negro church is the one conspicuous concrete achievement on this continent. There are no Negro institutions in New York or New York. There are no other groups of black people who are so important as the church's. There are several Negro churches in Harlem which cost a half million dollars. One searches the city in vain for any competitive individual or social properties. The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A., benefactions of philanthropy are the nearest approach. The only thousand pull of these was being during the next generation. The leading men of all the most demonstrations must be recruited. The college bred Negro of this generation is neglecting his superstitive opportunity for serving his day and generation. Last June thirteen hundred Negroes were graduated from colleges and universities. I seriously doubt whether half a hundred of the most thoughtful high places of moral and spiritual guidance of the I am not uttering a word of deepair. Somehow or other, God always finds a way to look after his own. I have gone up and down this country from this, from the Eastern to the Western as well as from the Northern to the Southern waters. I have spoken in Negro churches, and attended ministers' meetings, in all parts of the land. I have been granted beyond expectations to the people who are full of the capital of the state of the leadership and resourcefulness acquired in the main from the performance of their ministerial duties rather than from formal schooling. They that do shall know, is a social as well as a sacred law. But this does not excuse the college Negro of the rising generation. For the most part they are seeking the sheltered and prepared places. The education of the race is mainly under control of the white race. They make the positions and set the pay. The Negro took the place only to be in the place of the people who are essential function. No discredit can be attached to those educated women and men who render this important racial service. But they are sheltered and shaded. They can do only what the white over-load authorizes them to do and say what he permits them to say. They cannot lead and direct the general life of the race. This must devolve upon men in independent positions who derive their support and authority from the people whom they do. The people are always as good as the people who are less性强于 the least trade, who lead and righteousness. The voices of the Negro is expressed through the pulpit and the press; the two conspicuous organs of public opinion growing out of and resting upon the people for whom they speak. I suggest in our Greek letter fraternales and sororites, too, in their local and grand assemblies to give serious consideration to the claims of the minors. I will also to caution the new college generation that it is devoting too great a fraction of its energies to gaxyve and fivlovly. I have noticed the lack of a serious commitment to the land encarved with whether it was a serious gathering or an automobile show. The women in their merry frocks gather from all parts of the land encarved with whether it was a serious gathering or an automobile show. Our fraternales and sororites are heading in the same direction. I play in, believe in, proper place and proportion. All work, and no play is allowed. I do not believe in the midst of the grave responsibilities impending upon the rising generation might indicate a lack of serious comprehension of their duty in their race at. No, I am not a pessimist, nor a calamity bowler. I would not discourage the young by belittling their achievements and attainments. But I seem it to be a mistake, the younger to warn them against the danger of self-compulsant satisfaction.
