AMERICAN MOB-SPIRIT RAMPANT "NEGRO ASSAULT" CASE EXPOSED HOME EDITION VOL. IX AMEI "NEG THE MIRROR BY C. F. RICHARDSON The wonderful serial feat accomplished by Captain Charles Lindbergh, the plucky American aviator, who made the non-atop flight from New York City to Paris, France, in a monoplane by himself, negotiating the 360° flight of the first flight. In something like 33½ hours, is not only the most outstanding aeronautical accomplishment of its kind on record, but it demonstrates what the will or spirit to win can bring to pass. So many people never accomplish anything except to make it over rise above their peers because they hold eternally to the belief that "it can't be done," and the Holy Writ teaches that as a man thinketh in his heart so he is; and no one can do the实验. But the man who is not in the attention and elicit the plaudits and encomums of his fellows, who follow in the same rut and beaten path just like the "common herd." To accomplish anything, one must first make an effort, and behind that effort must be self-confidence and self-reliance. When others are pessimistic and musting to themselves or saying audibly that the job can not be done nor the desired goal obtained, if you have the real "stuff" in you, like the aposite, the "plough" in you, and the move you; but if you are a weakling, minus backbone, stamina and moral courage, you will become discouraged at the least flurry and fall to accomplish anything worthwhile. The "second" thing to be said is the "seven, seven" in an effort, to locate another land in the western hemisphere, there were many of his countrymen who considered him a knave and a fool, and predicted that the rugged man would go down to an untimely grave. But the queen had respect for Columbus because of the confidence Columbus had in himself and his ability to make a great deal of it, not to expect America, and thus today we honor him and reverse his memory for his marvelous feat. If we do not have confidence in ourselves, then we should not expect to be able to make any complete and unfeigned success as to; for external confidence is often inspired by internal confidence. After all is said and done, it is not a question of race, blood or kin, but merely the will to win—that innumerable spirit that "knows no Alps" and who knows no Alps—that "knows no way of winning"—as the adjective of the weak and spineless—that distinguishes men and women, and places them heads and shoulders above their comrades. As a race, or group needs to learn this lesson, for no man (or race) who is afraid to take a chance; who does not know the future; who does not have an adventure; who does not believe in himself; who wants to wait and see how the other fellow comes out before he is willing to undertake anything; who always goes around looking for and predicting failure for projects and ventures launched by his own people; who always has a sense of his small business or species of race will never get anywhere nor make much progress either in this world or the world to come. A certain supposed intelligent and successful Negro said to another member of his race, who had made a success of his small business, and had a small sense of his small business. “If you are successful in your new project, I won’t mind investing about $1,000 in your business.” “IF YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL!” “If you are successful in your new project, and, moreover, if this young man is not as good as you are, you will not be in his enlarged business as he was in his smaller business project, he will not need the capital of this ‘doubting Thomas’ of ebony hue who is watching and waiting to see “how things are coming out.” This is one of our racial fanatics our hindsight always being better than our同胞. How often have you heard some old colored settler in a fast and growing Southern city tell how he could have bought a certain piece of land a few years back for a mere “song and dance,” while today that same piece of property is worth thousands of dollars. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained" is a trite aphorism which is an patent on the prose on one face; and the man or race that never ventures, that never makes an attempt to do the unusual and unexpected, that has no faith, no confidence in his ability to do the job better than the other fellow — that man or race will never make any subservient and material gain; and he or it will go to the final rest. THE HOUSTON INFORMER LOCAL EDUCATOR AWARDED MASTER'S DEGREE AT WILEY PROFESSOR JAMES D. RYAN, Houston, principal Jack Yates Colored High School and supreme worthy recorder of the Ancient Order of Pilgrims, was awarded his master of arts degree at Wiley College, Marshall, Tuesday morning. This degree was conferred upon the local educator for his merritorious and unselfish service in the field of education and for his outstanding scholastic attainments in the field of letters, art, literature and science. Having taught in the public schools of Houston for 37 years, during which time he was principal of the Colored (Booker T. Washington) High School for 14 years, Prof. Ryan is known far and near as one of Texas' outstanding educators, and this signal honor bestowed upon him by Wiley College is well respected and fully deserved. Until recent years when his school and fraternal duties became rather exacting and onerous, Mr. Ryan was superintendent of the Sunday school of Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, was baso profundo in the church choir, and is still a member of the official family of this historic and celebrated Houston church. He is also a member of the trustee board of Wiley College, having served in this capacity for several years. Perhaps no man of the race in Houston occupies as many positions of public trust and confidence as Prof. Ryan, who is also a member of the board of directors of Emancipation Park and the new Houston Negro Hospital. As supreme worthy recorder of the Pilgrims, Prof. Ryan played no small part in the erection of the magnificent temple now hearing completion at West Dallas and Bagby, this city; and his counsel and advice are often sought by members of both races in matters of vital importance to the community and social order. Being a man of many talents and possessed with the happy faculty of being able to do what things well. Prof. Ryan is also in demand as a public speaker, having delivered the address to the graduating class of the H सीville Colored High School, E. E. Taylor, principal, last week. He attended the commencement at Wiley, leaving Houston last Saturday night for Marshall and returning Wednesday. His many friends here and elsewhere will rejoice with him that he has been so signally honored by one of the leading institutions of learning, of which Dr. M. W. Dogan, the veteran educator, is president. Special to The Informer.

Murians Lynchers Colored America Little Rock, Ark.—The lynching epidemic, which had its genesis when a mob sought to lynch Lonnie Dixon, accused of murdering a white girl, broke out anew here Wednesday when a mob of some two hundred men seized the rifles, with which they had saddened out the life of John Carter and terrorized Negroes throughout the city a few weeks ago, searched every probably hiding place for an unknown Negro who was supposed to have struck down and attempted to assault a white woman Tuesday afternoon. The woman reported that a Negro had attacked her while she was picking flowers in a strip of woods near her home Tuesday afternoon. As the report was circulated, the thirst for blood grew more acute and the mob formed for the purpose of "aiding the officers in their search." Bloodhounds were brought from Hot Springs but the rains during the evening rendered them useless. The human bloodhounds, however, took up the scent, but, like their canine brothers, had to give up the task. The officers, according to reports, were inclined to doubt the woman's story, which she had given more than one version of the affair. But it was further reported that a man answering the description had been arrested and the officers were afraid to take the prisoner before the woman for positive identification, thus another chapter is being written in Little Rock's "reign of terror" which has resulted in the lynching of one Negro, the driving away of others and alleged plans of a wholesale exodus of Negroes from the city.

COLORED GIRL WINS COVETED MINN. HONORS (By the Associated Negro Press.) Minneapolis, Minn.—The election of Miss Helen Natale Jackson, junior at the University of Minnesota, to Phi Beta Kappa, honorary schlateristic teacher, was announced at the annual Cap and Gown Day exercises Thursday, Miss Jackson is the second college student ever to be elected by the chapter at Minnesota. The first was Mrs. Lillian Alexander, now of New York City. She is executivey Mrs. Mick Jackson has been on the honor roll at the University, maintaining an average of "B" or better. She was president of the college, and she is ordinarily when in 1925-36 it led all the 21 sororities on the campus in scholarship. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Madeline Jackson, 2000 Franklin Avenue, S. E., and will receive her degree in June, 1958, a period of three and one-half years after her matriculation. The accompanying news item appeared in the Houston Chronicle, local daily newspaper, Tuesday, May 31, 1927, and is another concrete example of some of the methods resorted to and employed by whites to charge crimes to the usual "black, burly Negro." Many Negroes, particularly in the South, have been lynched legally and illegally for such alleged criminal assaults; for every time any alleged offense, particularly where a white woman and the stereotyped "black man" are involved, is reported, some Negro man or youth is guilty, and either the howling and hungry mob, or the prejudiced and biased courts and juries will inflict punishment upon any black man or youth remotely suspected of being connected with or have some knowledge of the alleged "crime." Without further comment (the article is sufficient indictment against this pernicious practice) The Informer reproduces verbatim the news story from the Houston Chronicle concerning the assault hoax at Coffeyville, Kansas, during last March, when the city was on the verge of a race riot due to the report that "three Negroes had criminally attacked a white girl." Coffeyville, Kan., May 31.—With two persons in jail at Independence, action was expected to be taken here today on 12 warrants in connection with an alleged hoax that resulted in a race riot March 17, in which four persons were injured. Ira Kennedy, 30-year-old automobile salesman, formerly of Coffeyville, now living in Wichita, and Miss Juja Mooney, 19, high school girl, are held in default of $20,000 bond on charges growing out of an alleged attack by three Negroes upon Margaret Akera, 17, and Miss Mooney prior to the race riot which brought on martial law. Kennedy is charged with a statutory offense and Miss Mooney, who was to have been graduated tonight at Senior High School, with being an accessory after the fact. Two other men are to be arrested in connection with the alleged attack, according to authorities. According to the charges, based upon the report of a detective following the race riot, Miss Mooney arranged a "party" of which the Akers girl was uninformed. After the alleged attack at the home in which the girls maintained a room in an otherwise vacant house, Miss Mooney told of an attack by three Negroes, which turned the wild of citizens to incite race trouble. A thousand persons mobbed the city jail the next night in an attempt to kidnap any Negro suspects who might be held. Martial law was declared and continued for three days. Special to The Informer.

While engaged in prayer, an angel of God announced that his prayer and alms had come before God as a prayer to Joppa for Peter who would tell him. 3. The vision of Peter (v. 9-10). This took place while Peter was praying (v. 9). He saw a certain vessel containing clean and undean animals on the command, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat." Peter protested that he had been a slave and replied, "What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common." 4. A messenger sent from Corneius. Peter was greatly perplexed over what he had seen, but not for long, he said, "I will not be in doubt in inquiry at the gate for him.

"AFTER A THOUSAND DIFFERENT THOUGHTS ONE FIXED PURPOSE" BY AD SCHUSTER (COPRIGHT) EROY PRENICE and Bernice Boyd were among the most proud among the children of the ambitions to be famous and together they talked of their dreams. It was not surprising the elders accorded a million dollars to help them love in the minds or the talk of the two. ERoy was confident that with a little metropolitan training he could succeed as a painter and illustrator, and Bernice was equally certain able to be a great writer. The artist needs to meet the world and see life. I think I will go to New York. The agreed agreement "It is the humanity with writing. I must see him in all its aspects, feel the pulse of a great city, and then—and then, I will write as I have never written before." The Japanese Admiral was ordered to find and destroy the Russian fleet. What was he to do? He milled around, fearing, doubting, planning thinking; but did nothing. Then, after much churning of thoughts in his mind, he decided upon his course. "ONE FIXED PURPOSE" ended the Russian-Japanese war and put the Japanese on the military map. he was the first to go, but she was not long in following. Her met her at a hotel, where she was already at home in the big city, helped her and a room in the district to find a place to prepare to resume the regular order of Wednesday and Sunday evening calls, but Brenna had other plans. She said, "but moving to New York with me is a great and serious step." She was hindered by friendships and uninfluenced by anyone opinion or advice, and until we make our names at least, we are not to see each other. "We have shown her the roo and the aquarium, had wanted to show her he know his way about. Yet, there was his work." Robert Bruce had been defeated a second time. His forces were scattered. He was a fugitive with a price upon his head. Disappointed and discourage he dared not even visit his friends. When he seemed completely swallowed by the abyss of defeat, he looked up one day and saw a spider busy above him. Idly he watched it, trying to span the distance between two beams. Time after time it failed, but its persistence riveted his attention. Six times it failed but the seventh attempt brought success. The stubborn purposefulness of that spider challenged Bruce. He arose with a new purpose: to free Scotland. He came out of hiding with nothing but a stubborn purpose, but that was a compelling force. It was catching and all Scotland rallied and rode to freedom on a "FIXED PURPOSE." But I don't want to lose track of you altogether. I'd like to hear from you, you know, when you sell a story, and I could see you about my pictures. Bernice was firm. "Every Saturday night, she said, "I will write you a note, telling you of what I have done and you can write me. One will be the spur to the other. We start to write for me. Oh, I'm going to be a fun! I'm at first the letters were of the details of settling and getting started. Then's Bernice wrote that she had interviewed a great editor who had promised to read her stories. Leroy had a new story about her. Her picture of her was being a picture for a cover. The letters became triumphant, almost delibious with the joy and excitement of the artists. It was true, as Bernice had said, each was a spur to the other. I had a small� and I was allowed to sell and received no encouragement be desisted. But he worked all the harder at his painting with a growing fear that Bernice would be famous before he was even recognised. He would be a world-loving writer. He would be well-written that may matter how many honors he received he would never forget the girl from Minden who had been the first to appreciate his work. So they worked on and each week submitted a report which he had of the best. He had a ladder of the heights. They were brave, glorious letters. Yet there came a day when the artist discovered he must give serious thought to the question of food and rent. He penned a note to Bernice of writing a letter to him, he helped to print the portrait of a millionaire, then went out to look for a job. All day he walked the streets. Next morning he arose early, scanned the want ads and resumed the search. I had a new job drawing posters for a lobby display in a motion picture house. Throughout the ages individuals with a "FIXED PURPOSE" have taken their places in the fore ranks and held the respect of their fellows. He smiled when he thought of the work before him, making pictures of the people he had seen, the traits of famous persons, all right, and he would have something real to report to herdes. In his room he was sitting on the floor, to be placed on the following Wednesday, and when that day arrived they them under his arm to the desk. The drifters stand aside to let the purposeful individual pass. Go out on a crowded street and watch how the crowd opens up to let a man pass who walks as if he has a purpose and is going somewhere. Leroy stood by while the posters were being placed, surveying them in the room. He saw the faint feat. This was not what he had heard. "What would Berrice, the famous learner, have been blinding in his letters? He turned quickly, for some reason, behind him. There in the ticket case, looking at him as she one never looked As a group, what is the PURPOSE of Negroes of Houston and Texas? She returned his surprised maze savely, and there was no need for equipment. She was so confident and who had written of so many triumphs was selling tickets. She was so confident that she won't out of his reach. He leamed to talk through the little "Lovey," she whispered, "it's goo." She was so confident that she won't do better work—together.

Negroes In Peonage In Mississippi Flood Area, Reports Confirm New York City — Negroes held in peenage in the Mississippi flood area, and prevented from leaving concentration camps without the consent of their landlords, also attempts to charge Negroes in flood relief admittened to them, are reported by Walter White in a report for the Advancement of Colored People, 69th Avenue, who has returned from a tour including Memphis, Jackson, Vicksburg, New Orleans, and other points in the flood area. Mr. White reports instances of Negroes escaping refuge camps and returning to the flooded area, clothing rather than be returned to the plantations from which the flood had driven them. Mr. White released the following statement today at the offices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: "In response to complaints of peenage than go back to the plantations from area to Mississippi flood area, I went to that territory and in my tour visted Memphis, Vicksburg, Jackson, were being taken out by industrial flooded rooftops. At Memphis, I talked and checked in again when their labors were finished. Most of their medical officer for the Red Cross in the flood area. Dr. Reden authors thought not paid, but they objected to the hosting, curing and killing them." "The Red Cross emphatically disapproves of any attempts to use this disaster by landlords furthest from the plantations and share croppers. A is given directly to the very white civilians, in many places. The interesting problem to see that attempts by landlords and others to get checked when such relief is given is checked when such relief is given is placed the levee would break. Refugees after they have returned to "In many refugee camps, however, Negroes are released only to 'their' plantation from which they came. This fact was confirmed to me by General Vickers of the Mississippi National Guard troops who are keeping order in the area covering reefs in the Mississippi Gulf of Mexico, Yasoo, Warren and Holmes counties and all of Ishaquean, Sharkey, Green General told me that plantation owners come to the camps to pick out the animals that are kept from the camps, 'no man being permitted to talk to any other but his own Negroes' virtual imprisonment of Negro flood sufferers to prevent escape from the plantation areas in Mississippi, published in the Vicksburg Beding Post of May 5, in which "A meeting of the executive committee of the Citizens' Relief Committee of the City of Houston, Mullen, direct-in-charge of Red Cross relief work here, held the day before the delta section not overloaded, coming to Cleveland with the view and family from the camp and place them on their own plantations, was thoroughly discussed and considered, and the committee agreed to one with whom they have previously contracted for the year, was placed in the camp, and the committee consented of the landlord from whose plantation the laborers came, or on the personal request or authorization "At a number of camps I was told "Negroceiding guarding and escaping clothing and medical attention rather WATTS NERVE TONO for wake clothing and medical attention in the back, run down condition of the nerves, lost vitality; for men and women.

At some of the camps Negroes were being taken out by industrial firms, being checked out of the camps and checked in again when their lie-in was finally found. More than 100 men had no objection to working, even thought not paid, but they objected to the beating, cursing and kicking they had to endure. There are also numerous instances of brutality in the treatment of Negroes forced to work on the levees under the guns of soldiers and even while civilians. I may place the whole Greenland and Stop the loom. Negroes were thus conscripted, among them being an insurance agent, and they were kept at work even when it was plain the levee would break. When the break came, this insurance agent told me he saw some forty br fifty Negroes swept away by the waters, presumably to death. He managed to fight the lumbery back lease. He is a graduate of Tuskegee, married with a child and entirely trustworthy and reputable. He injured his foot in the break of the levee but was put to work on the levee at Greenville, being allowed to obtain treatment for his injury only when that levee gave way two days later. In conclusion I will give one more authorized quotation from Dr. Rodden, showing the conditions prevalent in the delta; "Some of the Negroes did not even know that their own bodies belonged to them," he said. They they said that it could be done only after their plantation houses gave them the power to plantation owners objected we had to tell them "Bishow you will permit us to plant the Red Cross" in "my talk with responsible heads of the Red Cross I was impressed with the quality of the training and the ability but of course individual subordinates in doing the work do not always know the spirit of the Red Cross. The attention of the central administration is always on the plantation."

Just received unclaimed suits from each out of the company's 104 stores to be closed out through this outlet branch store below cost of making. J. H. COLONEL ROBT, T. H. SIMMONS, Mexico financial, promoter and advisor and president of the Crude Oil and Mining Company, based in Houston, meeting and mingling wife friends and acquaintances, in the South, colored oil magnates in the South. Riding in a Cadillac sedan, with his Iveried chauffeur, the colonel, a former Houston resident, is on an overland tour inspecting the various oil fields of East and South Texas. The colonel informed a representative of The former that he had just closed a deal whereby he had leased 10,000 acres of mineral land in Sabine, San Augustine and Panola counties, and that he expects to begin drilling operations within 90 days. In this connection Col. Simmons remarked, "You can tell the boys that, in the event the 'Colonel' strikes oil, he will be the same old Bob Simmons." The many friends of the colonel will regret to hear that he is still unable to walk, an injury received more than one year ago having seriously uncapacitated him in this respect, but he is still the same jolly, jovial, smiling "Bob" Simmons. Mr. Simmons has been in the oil sector of East Texas for the past several months, and states that the recent oil activity in that section of the state will materially benefit his company. The daily newspapers of several East Texas cities where the oil boom is on, have carried news stories about the colonel's activities in that section. SICKLY. PEEVISH CHILDREN. Children suffering from intestinal worms are cross, restless and unhealthy. There are other symptoms, however. If the child is pale, has dark rings under the eyes, it is almost a certainty that worms are eating away its vitality. The surest remedy for worms is White's Cream Vermifuge. It is positive destruction to the worms but harmless to the child. Price 35c. Sold by Dowling Drug Company.

As she passed the tires on the car, she noticed a woman across the street. it somewhat disconcerted her that the tall young man was looking intently at her when she stopped to look at her. She took time enough in starting to glance again at the young man, who had remained in the region of the corner position. She started her car directly down the road, then drew up beside him on the opposite corner. "I'm afraid you just missed your boy," she said. "There's another for a half hour. I'm going out that way and I can easily overtake the bus that you just missed, if you like." She bowed with a little more of a flourish than was among the young men of Daisy's acquaintance, stopper for a while, and absolutely essential for him to get the bus and that he would be profoundly grateful to her if she would take him along the highway where he must cross. "my name is Schuyler Wentworth," said the young man. "I am a stranger here. I am not a stranger, but a bit of property—which I find is located in—in at the end of the bus line." "Barbury," supplied Daisy, "Well, that a half hour by motor—must be more than an hour by bus. I'm quite sure we can catch up with the bus, if we can get there." "Not in the least," assured the young man. "at breakneck speed, but they went on, getting fruit conversation out of the objects they passed on the road. Daisy found her self showing down. Of course, there was a lot of fruit, and would catch a bus, because the last bus had gone nearly an hour ago and it was within five minutes time of the fruit looking stranger at the corner. It had been a rather hold thing to do, Daisy agreed with them—it wasn't important, but take them driving along and take them behind her and take them driving along the highway—but the young man驻坐 beside her in her car, and if he by any chance was a desperate or dangerous character Daisy felt that he was not safe. Her own hands had ever advantage. Barbury was in sight—and the bus had not been overtaken. It was a car parked in the house, two gas-filling houses, two gas-filling churches. The young man had indulged in a meal, and the church. Obviously there was not much business to be done there. "Here we are," Dalley told him. It was a car parked in the house, and she butled him that if his business wasn't going to take very long she would wait and carry him back to Hinton, assuming of course that he was going to take care of the young man did not even get out of the car. He looked at her courtiarly and explained that as a matter of fact he was going to take care of the young man to the surprise, the girl at the wheel showed no sign of resentment. She drove back into Hinton in a car that because mutually embarrassing. "I take it for granted that you want to go back to Hinton," said Dalley. "Perhaps you have friends there?" "Not unless I might count you as a friend," said Schuyler. "The Ract is not a friend." Barnhill in my life until this morning. I was motoring from New York to Ohio and this morning I found my mother. She had a grieving trouble which I could not attend to. I left my car in a garage and started for a little stroll. That was when I thought I thought you had had a puncture. "Really, I did," said Daisy. "I only stopped my car because I thought I was going to the men we meet here." "And you don't exactly hate me because I let you think I was trying to get the bus?" asked Schuyler. "And I thought I was getting to get the bus. Only at the time I couldn't think of any better excuse to talk to you." Barnhill from the road shaded of her long enough to look at him with a little pout of annoyance. "And I suppose you'll start on your way as soon as we get back to it." "Not if you let me stay and—and get a little bit better acquainted. As you get used to it, you get the matter with my car. I just left it there. I had seen you earlier in the room. I put my mind on that I wasn't going to leave the place until I knew you better. I think it was a case of love at heart.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1927 FAILURE TO GIVE RACE PROPER CREDIT. A recent news item from California, which appeared in several of the daily white newspapers, told of the scholastic achievements of a student in one of the leading institutions of learning in that state, but failed to mention the fact that this brilliant student and campus favorite was a member of the colored race. We have observed that several of the daily white newspapers usually drop the racial designation when some black boy or man wins some signal honor at some white school, or in athletic competition with white athletes; but if some crime is committed by a black man, or is charged at the door of some black man, or if some crime is committed by a white man, then the definition for a ladder poem "story" in these newspapers, they never overlook an opportunity to mention the racial connection. This seems to be a well-defined, studied plan on the part of white newspaper publishers and editors, and the policy is doing the colored race a grave injustice; for little is ever printed in these same daily newspapers that recites something commendable or horrible, but the front pages of these white daily papers are never too crowded with important news to render it impossible for some "story" to be played up about some crime or shortcoming charged at the door of the Negro race. Recently in the city, several benefit programs were given for the benefit of the Mississippi River flood sufferers; but the benefit of the Mississippi River flood sufferers was musicians and singers, was the first organization to offer its services in a free concert at the City Auditorium for this purpose. Prior to the program the daily newspapers, with one possible exception, carried abbreviated news items concerning this benefit concert, but after the program was rendered and over $600 raised the program was continued in the flood-striken areas, only one daily white newspaper carried an item in its columns concerning the success of the program, despite the fact that columns of reportorial and editorial matters appeared in these same papers touching upon the benefits staged by white groups. The colored choral club did not promote this benefit concert for any balyhoe purposes, but since it demonstrated the fact that here was one Negro group who was willing to give something for and to others, and was such an unusual departure for Negro bodies of any sort, it certainly deserved as much publicity as similar movements sponsored by other local organizations. If some member of this same club had committed some offense, or had conducted himself or herself in some unbecoming manner, or had been involved in a stunt, "the stunt," and would have given it proper or improper publicity. If the white editors, publishers and reporters would be as quick to print and circulate news items that reflect credit upon the Negro race as they are to print and circulate news that reflect discredit upon our racial group, then they would at least be content with the best and best type of Negroes and observe that there are thousands in our race who have never bowed before Baal nor worshiped him, they will readily conclude that the Negro race is criminal and bestial and wholly unfit for the confidence and goodwill of decent people of any race. The daily white newspapers of the South and the South in particular contributed to inter-racial amity, goodwill and tolerance if they will give publicity and prominence to some of the outstanding accomplishments of the Negro race. Four Negro fraternal orders have approximately $1,000,000 invested in Houston property, two of these orders owning modern home and office buildings (one nearing completion now as West Village is closing), and one that has nothing about these holdings, and particularly the imposing Pilgrim temple in the quasi-residential section of the Fourth Ward—one of the most modern, beautiful and attractive structures in the city. White people will not read Negro newspapers and publications and learn first-hand some commendable things about our race, and since most of our white neighbors are too busy to come in contact with us and see for themselves what our race is doing and has done since its emancipation a little over 60 years ago, it is incumbent upon the white daily newspapers to give more prominence to the Negro community, to burden and handicap our racial contingent by leading the reading public to believe that we are all beasts and criminals. If these white editors, publishers and reporters want to do a piece of home missionary work, which will be constructive and far-reaching in opportunity, and the Informer sincerely earnestly trusts that, seeing their hobdy duty in this respect, they will go to it. The Houston Informer America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper DENTAL SURVEY HERE LAUDED BY SCHOOL DOCTOR DENTAL SURVEY HERE LAUDED BY SCHOOL DOCTOR Houston, Texas, May 35, 1927. Dr. E. E. Oberholtz, Superintendent City Schools, Houston, Texas. Dear Dr. Oberholzer: I hand you here complete a report of the dental survey in that school. Number of pupil examines, 649; number of pupil cases, 649; number of irregular teeth, 808; number of with stained teeth, 517; salivary calvariates, 1175; healthy gum, 518; dislaced cavities, 2492; extraction indices, 1236; number permanent teeth with with stained teeth, 2492; number with prophylaxis needs, 518; abscessed teeth, 8; perfect teeth than the teeth of the white race. For instance, in the dental survey of the colored schools there was about a greater percentage of pupils with greater teeth in the white schools than in the colored schools there were in the colored schools those with perfect teeth. This low percentage schools was caused by the best name recorded as needing prophylaxis. The cooperation in the colored schools was 150 per cent. of health school attendance, and the association of colored dentists, the principals, teachers and parents show wholesome. Not a single objection was given by the parents. No comment was given by the members. That the members of the C. A. George Dental Society are doing a great deal of corrective work among the pupils is considerable. The considerable considerable percentage of this is being done gratis as are many male students. Several organizations of the colored people are lending assistance in this work. The A. C. Ministerial学院, the auxiliary O. A. Ministerial学院, the auxiliary O. O. Fellowships. The information library is lending a helping hand. It is indeed a great effort to do something for the betterment of the physical condition of their children. I consider it a great opportunity to take this opportunity to commend them to you and the board of education. Since the school is a LOCAL TEACHER'S PUPILS PLEASED MAMMOTH HOUSE (BY GERALDINE FOSTER) The piano recital given by the music pupils of Mrs. P. S. Smith, local music teacher, was given by Tyrone Traylor Church Tailor, at Wesley Memorial Church, M. Chr. Church Monday, at the audience that taxed the capacity of the spacious church auditorium. A few little tots in the larger sized girls, appeared in piano sohes, duets, trios and quartets, there were seven pupils playing singles and all the youthful participants showed the wonderful training they had received. It is indeed hard to pick out the stars, for every number stood out迪斯尼 had given each child careful training. The playing of the tits and tots, the music and the dance, the advanced students showed that the time and energy which the instructors put in was crucial. Mac Hart and Flora Crigler of the advanced group deserve special mentions. The program was intertwined with vocal selections, Meadows C. A. C. and the male orchestra; the male octet of the Colleague Taylor Church Club giving a couple of songs to the children to bring down the house with her soprano solo. It was a credible program, and joy it immensely. It would feel proud of the wonderful achievement of her pupil, for it takes work and study to put over the kind of program which these students will be able to enjoy. We congratulate Mrs. Smith and hope that she may continue the excellent work. AN UNINTENTIONAL OVERSIGHT Through an unintentional oversight of the name of Father C. P.

The purpose of these conferences is held by the public nursing department of the School of Nursing, and the years, is to give every child the opportunity of a thorough physical examination during early childhood, the opportunity of knowing and correcting during early childhood, and the opportunity of knowing and correcting during early childhood. The opinion of child health experts is, that much can be done, during the past seven years, by a greater degree of physical fitness before their entrance into school for the past seven years. 527 children have been examined, of which number 159 have returned yearly, and 105 have been examined.

St. Louis, Mo.—Another claim for the success of Poro has arisen. This time, the State of California, a major man who back in 1911 is an employee of Mrs. Malone's. Majors in a deposition taken before Referee William K. Koener last Thursday contends that for the brain power and advanced ideas which he put in Poro back in those days, he is entitled to $21,000. Mr. Majors originally filed his suit in 1915. It has lain dormant since that time, but his lawyers are said to have felt that the recent difficulties through which the head of Poro College was passing afforded a pro-pitions time to review the case. Mr. Majors' deposition is said to set forth that the same charge behind the Poro establishment on Pine Street, in 1911, to conduct a correspondence school for chauffeurs, but that after Mrs. Malone had employed him to use his cars to haul her mail and goods for her, he became interested in the business and -proffered her various plans which he avers she put into use. After his discharge he claimed to have had a contract for his services and brought an action of which the present hearing is an echo. In his deposition Mr. Majors went into the intricacies of the manufacture of hair preparations and stated that after he left Poro last year he had opened a "hair business" for himself. His own effort did not, proffered. Pore College and its owner are said to be viewing this renewed effort calmly. Mrs. Malone has answered Major Wright's request that the decision will be decided by the referee. ST. LOUIS WOMAN ELECTED MEMBER IMPORTANT BODY ST.

This woman cared for her health, care and unloving devotion through her entire period of illness. Mrs. Ramsey never impatient over her condition. The sweetness of her spirit of suffering so that she could so that her friend never felt that in the presence of suffering. She smiled always and had a chary appearance. She always said that her lot was God's will and his will was her will in human power to proclaim that precious life. Leading physicians of both sexes she nursed her daughter. Her daughter nursed her ten children, and she brought them to above material aid; but God was ready for her and human agencies could go to her. She and her service has closed; the summons came; the mantle of the coach was wrapped on her frail little body, and she was ready to yet her deeds will live on. The memory of her fruitful life will live on the parts of the life who loved her. She was loved by her husband, Dr. E. B. Ramsay; by her mother, Mr. Gerttude M. Randolph; by sisters, Mrs. Malinda Otley; okey nieces, the tophose and other relics in human power to proclaim CARD OF THANKS Our hearts go out in deepest gratitude to you who, in the darkest hours of our life, helped to comfort and cheer our darling wife and mother through her long period of illness. Your tender devotion sweetened our grief and lightened our heavy hearts at the time of her passing. May the God of all be with you to bless and protect you. We also wish to hereby express to the Jackson Undertaking Co. our sincere gratitude for their unstinted kindnesses and courtesy in handling the funeral of our dear wife and mother.
