There is something about the spirit which prevails during Christmastide which no manifies, at any other season of the year, and no day on our calendar has the human appeal and benign charm as the day we celebrate as the birthday of mankind's greatest In order to stimulate church attendance and encourage our local pastors to notice and encourage our missionaries toounce them to the church-going public without any expense (the announcement) prior to each event, we decided to throw open its columns freely and gratuitously to the Houston pastors to urge them to urge all pastors, who really prepare their sermons in advance and know that they will be day before each Sunday, to either bring, send or phone same to the Informer office, using either Preston or Preston 1245 for that purpose. In this connection, we suggest that more of our local pastors adopt a determination to reprepare their sermons, give them some study, and prepare some spiritual messages.

Testimony was given that Daniel, who is a peddler of quack medicines, and abducted a 12-year-old girl and carried her across the North Carolina line, where he kept her in a cabin for four days.

Judge Shaw, in imposing the sentence that he was lucky, "Hid you been found guilty." "Hid you been been my pleasure to have sentenced you to death," the judge stated. LEADER ADVISES REPUBLICANS TO 'CLEAN UP HOUSE' (Open Letter to J. T. Harris) Fort Worth, Texas, Dec. 10, 1927. Hon. J. T. Harris, Brenham, Texas. My Good Friend: Your letter of a recent date to hand. I have received many such letters in the past week or so. Therefore, I take this method of answering your letter to save unnecessary correspondence. Replies to the subject matter of your letter, beg to state that I do not see the wisdom or necessity of Texas Republicans attempting to main- tain two separate party organizations. I do not believe that a "black and tan" Republican organization has any more right to exist than any "white" Republican organization. You can get nowhere with either. Both are im- ical, and will prove disastrous to Republican party support. Indeed, in the governmental principles that brought the Republican party into ex- istence in a party organization fostered on color prejudice and maintained to control federal patronage only. Such a party or such a party organization has no right to live and decent men HOUSTON YOUTH, COLUMBIA GRAD, HOME FOR XMAS PROF. J. H.

Of all the contemporary Negro musicians who are now enjoying nationwide distinction, I believe that I have received far less encouragement accustomed to anyone else. I am, of course, making this assertion to emphasize what I am in the musical world today is due inadvisably to the economic support of the Negro race. I am grateful of gratitude toward my race that I am giving up well-established musical training to dedicate the musical year of 1927-1928 to a second transcontinental concert tour of the United States. I believe it is a greater achievement. The expression "transcontinental sound" sounds but only those who have significance of the undertaking. The musician appears in the concert and then takes a train to San Francisco by way of Chicago for one or more performers. The musician, gentle ruders, implies that Aside from the matter of more standards, the Negro race is doomed to be suppressed and support the concert as an institution. If we are going to cease patronizing concerts as we should, the doors, for it is not his ambition mainly to train his pops to appear in concerts, but with concerts as an institution, will not the composers have to cease the main opportunity for the composer to be heard? must mean least, are not the composers the beat medium for development.

Therefore it is obvious that we need to eat food that is rather different food than we need in summer. All we have to do, really, is to copy the habit of the Eskimo: push the meat and the fat in our diet. Bacon for breakfast, butter on our bread and meat twice a day is a rational diet in cold weather, and the minimum of roughage and vegetables. Nature has provided us with better appetites in winter, and for her own very good reason. "Exercise": we were true hibernators, and we need to consider exercise for keeping fit in winter. But we are inconsistent hibernators. We stay indoors most of the time, and not curt up in a corner and sleep. Also we have good appetites.

Not only the students of each school and the athletes of each school, but the entire football-loving public of Houston and surrounding cities are looking forward with interest to this second annual football class. Both teams come to the close of the season with their respective grades in the pink of condition. In both cases well-rounded and sterling teams will represent the two contenders in the clash of the year. The class of football displayed by the two contenders is a very high grade. Each team has to its credit only one defeat. While Watertown Beaumont by the close margin, Watertown Beaumont by a scoreless tie under very adverse conditions when a moment of negligence occurs. There are many who will call to mind the valiant fight put up by the Lions and the Eagles in the final game to a 6-1 tie. Each team scored a touchdown in the first half, each faintly to make a touchdown in the second. The fact that the two teams battled to a the last year has added to the excitement of the meeting of the opposing squads. The kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p. m., and are organizing and drilling with an interest and determination never before seen.

RIGHT ABOUT HIS RECORD Cincinnati, O.—(PNS)—With a desire to clear up the impression that he was the West to the effect that the A. A. U. gave DeHart Hubbard a "bad deal" record commitment at its reunion, he record committed to his world's record jump of 26 feet 21 inches, made here last September, to officials of the A. A. U. in which he completely absolved them from the record. Hubbard follows: "I want my first statement since the rejection of my cherished 26-foot record. I feel I should make it because of a general impression that the A. A. U. want to absolve the A. A. U. of any such charges. I have learned from a signed statement on my application that in his estimation the sand was too fine that is drawing it pretty fine without an actual survey, but I realise that that is drawing it pretty fine in the face of such a statement by the referee. I couldn't expect it to be, in my opinion the pit was absolutely final. I hope that makes my viewpoint." "But you may tell the wide, wide world that there will be another 26-foot jump of 26 feet 21 inches, too." Austin, Texas—Samuel Huston College has made another progressive step in the recent establishment of a modest little bureau of educational research from which the college plans to expand its knowledge and information of educational significance and general interest to the public.

In this connection the institution is especially fortunate to be located in a great city with a rich educational resource, one of the educational foundations like the General Educational Board or the Harmon Foundation for Some of members of the faculty who will guide the research are: Gretchen Green, Lincoln University, Pa.; Pa.

WILDCATS DEFEAT AUSTIN SENATORS Even though a senator is supposed to have a distinct advantage over a wildcat in more ways than one, the Austin Senators failed to demonstrably outperform the West End Park and went down in defeat before the Phyllis Wheatley Wildcats by a score of 43-13. Coach Elbaith Codwell's charges led the Wildcats to organize and organized the the visitors, although the latter put up a good effort. During the third and final quarters the Wildcats lived up to their promise to win, sending the Senators almost to will, sending the solons back to the Capital City with certain impressions on their mind.

Ranison of the A. M. E. Church in addressing a large audience here Tuesday evening at the Metropolitan Comprehensive School in auspices of the Umbrian Glee Club. After declaring that the Negro did not believe today as Frederick Douglass is the party, all else is Republican party is the ship, all else is the Negro accepted Booker Washington's idea of industrial training for the race, all else is the race that the race 'acknowledges the force and power of the scathing denunciations of political injustice proclaimed by the Negro, all else is fighting him with his weapons in a campaign that can only infiltrate the Negro, all else is out that Marcus Garvey had made articulate the heart throbs and aspirations of black folks everywhere, and solidarity of the black people throughout the world. He pleads that we put into commission and organize the industrial resources of the entire race and use this power to participate in the industrial resources of Africa," continued the bishop. "As a prophet, Mr. Garvey has run true form by meeting the age-long resistance, he has been imprisoned, and now he has been banished. But truth, aspirations, and ideals can neither be In showing that as a race, "we have to be good leaders," Politically, we have often been compelled to stand and mark time, but while so engaged we have consolated ourselves, and we have renewed offensive and advance.

The prediction fulfilled (v. 7). This took place at a most opportune moment when the Roman church of religion and immoral worship were totering upon their foundations, therefore most suitable for the introduction of the world being under the power of the Romans who then ruled it, made it possible for Christ's ministers to go from city to city and country to country, and thus the Almighty rules in the whole universe and is never tardy in His administrations. 2. Born Announced to the Shepherds (v. 8-14). 1. To whom (v. 8). Jesus' birth was announced to the shepherds and they lived over their fleets by night. The fact that the glorious message was first sounded forth to them shows that poverty is no barrier to its reception. The shepherds were being busy with common duties did not prevent them from hearing this glorious message from God. Moses, the prophet, called of God from the activities of life. He never calls lady people. They did not stop to argue or raise questions, though these things were, and they did not stop to answer them. They went immediately to Bethlehem, where they found everything just as represented. They had the privileges of the city, the city of God, the viver, the very Lord of Glory. They returned with gratitude in their hearts to the Shepherds' Witnessing (wr. 17-18). They found things as announced by the angels. When they beheld the Lord of Glory they could not remain silent. They were told God. Those who really hear the gospel message cannot be silent. Those who really hear the gospel-must tell it to others. Trials That Never Come For every trial that God sends, he gives sufficient grace to bear it. He promises no grace to bear anilure with, and we little know how large a portion of our mental sufferance will be. We never know that never come—Vangelical Tidings.

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE DEAL AFTERWARDS. NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS—ROOSEVELT. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1927 THE MESSAGE TO THE SHEPHERDS Marmion, in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.—St. Luke 2:8-14. This is an old, old story, but it grows sweeter and more sublime with each succeeding age. Years have failed to dim its lustre; neither has time effaced its holy glory and transcendent grandeur. Poets have sung of it in notes of sweet acclaim, while prophets, priests and kings have proclaimed it far and wide. Mothers have relied it around the family hearth, while children listened with abated breath. For nearly 2000 years Christendom has been thrilled and its constituents rendered happy and jubilant at the annual celebration of His natal day, which means so much to civilization and the human family. It was first proclaimed to the shepherds during the nocturnal hours as they watched their flocks on the quaint and historic hills of India. Their virgins their vigils kept and while sleep held dominion over the land. In the stillness and tranquility of that memorable night, when all nature was hushed in silence and as “the heavens were declaring the glory of God and the firmaments were showing forth His handwriting,” an angelic voice broke the “good tidings of great joy” to those vigilant custodians of the sheep, in a voice clear, distilled as this heavenly ambassador gave out the glad tidings, heaven’s angelic choir broke in one of the sweetest, most harmonious and sonorous antiphonal anthems ever heard by mortals, saying, “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men.” “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men.” nor has any been written or sung since without this great Gift forming the main motif and chief theme. The real Christmas spirit is to help those in need. Our giving should not be done on a reciprocal basis; giving those who are able to return in kind. As Christ was a gift to the sick—as He declared, the well need no physician—Christmas is robbed of its earnest treasure and joy when it is divested of the spirit of making others happy through kindly deeds and pricieous tokens of goodwill and cheer. May each of us shape our lives more after the principles the Christ Child came to establish. Thus it is at this season of the year that The Informer extends Yuletide compliments to its many readers and advertisers, with the wish that their Christmas will be merry and cheery. "Joy to the world! the Lord is come! Let earth tremen't, Let every heart prepare Him room, And heaven and nature sing. "No more let sin and sorrow grow, No more thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow Far from treasured earth. "He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness. The Houston Informer America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper POLITICAL LEADERSHIP By KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C. On the sixth of December in the current year of our Lord, the Hon. Perry W. Howard, of the department of justice, gave a complimentary hand to visit statesmen and local government. The occasion synchronized with the meeting of the National Republican committees of which Mr. Howard is a member. There are four colored members of this August body—Mr. Howard, as a foreseeal, Hon. Ben Davis, as a bootee, Hon. Ben Browne, as a governor, Georgia, the latter two being the female political companions of the former. This quartet represent the only Negroes who are effectively in national politics. They are trustees of the Republican parish of Charleston, Georgia, the political organization on earth. The Northern Negro can function only in local and state politics. He controls no important political unit. He can only speak when he is spoken to and come when he is called. He has the power of saying for whom he shall vote. On the other hand, the Southern Negro politica is long on nomination but short on roting. We have seen the Southerler, obligated to vote for the choice at Chicago in 1912. Lincoln turned the balance from Reservoir to Taft and thus effected the war for the coming eight years. So great was his party fealty and orthodoxy, that for the coming eight years, his memory receives scant appreciation nowadays, for the equation of political power in the federal equation. It was none other than he who was the most influential member which threatened the entire obliteration of the Negro, and to true to Negro control the affairs of the country were not sufficient influential and powerful leaders to make the Republic more powerful. Mississippi and Georgia were the states chosen for the experiment. Louisiana was turned over to Cohen. Louisiana was also turned over white directorship. This gives the Negro a place in the e伞; everywhere he is in the e伞; the more brittle the skin. recorder, as is his wont, sat dignified and silent as the political sphinx. He was a man of great daring. He the foreign statement men there also. Judge Henry came down from Philadelphia to recount the polling results of the election of Mitchell of West Virginia told of the trumpets of the race amidst the West Virginia polls, and sat silent admiring the distinction of his charming little wife. I am a man of great daring, and the tograph, with a sketch, picking out significant and suggestive features and here there and so as to give an impression. But Perry Howard's exigency was able to reach. Ar outside the politicalliness of the profession, fraternal and business celebrities furnished frame work for his book, *The Rise of the Professional*, in all of its ramifications. J. Finley Wilson, the overlain grand man of the profession, and his candidacy session with his benign smile that never comes off, and his candidacy roughs, the drumm of feminine energy, was held in reserve to hold the public schools and Dr. M. O. D. Musk, the director of the skoke for the N. A. A. C. P. Blake for the Rights League and Race Course. Novel H. Thomas, the fiery angst of the narcissism, spoke for the rights of women who will not allow me to go further in a cataloging of the company. You will learn the quality and caliber of the assembly for yourself. Good nature and respect. The genius and geniality of the host enlivened the whole session. Perry was charming. That never witnessed it in this white room, but every moment, every guest, every friend and candor compels me to say, the more relentless half. He told us that the board for the pure seat of a social good time, without any ulterior motive, would be the guests must believe their host. We were almost constrained to glacitate the guests in a guile! "I am not a gel together meeting.

Hall in getting their recommendations ordered and approved by the THE LIBRARY By The Editor of Who's Who in Colored America (For The Associated Negro Press) COUNTEE CULLEN AND 'COPPER SUN' Countie Cullen, probably the most prominent of our younger poets, has just released through the publishing house of Harper and Brothers of 40 years of New York City, a book containing fifty-eight poems of which have previously appeared in such well known periodicals as Harper's magazine, Vanity Fair, the Nation, the Oridis, Vanity Fair, the Nation, This is the second collection of poems by this young author, the first being "Color" which won for him the Harmon Foundation. This award represented the outstanding achievement of poems by the Harmon Foundation and was based on his volume of poems by Heather Brown and his brother Brooke Brown has made a name for himself in the field of literature and for so young a age, years what others have taken a lifetime to do. The only fear it has in his mind is the absence of a self-denial and the absence of self-denial guiding genius to the altar of public worship, may he do harm. The public in his life is so ill-suited for the idle is sufficient for damnation. Countice Collis is the adopted son of New York City church parishioner and was graduated from New York University, and elected to Pit Bell Kapva that same year. He entered Harvard and fall and took the A. M. degree in 1925. Among the poems in "Copper Sun" the very first one in the book called "The Garden" is told by anyone who can read the poem. But Webster's dictionary to understand it matters what may be the future of the poem will live as long as the Ngre will live as long as the Ngre McDonald- (Continued from Page One) in these men out of the political equation, there are hundreds of others able and splendid, who could reorganize the machinery of the party and put the Republican organization far above disregard and corruption. A group of men has been identified that is found today backing the whiskey element; tomorrow the prohibition element; and the next day after the Democratic Party is in view to control federal patronage is in view to be trusted and certain that true and good leaders of that party. The leadership of the Republican party in Texas is the past eight years where the kind of leadership has been tolerated and allowed to function, in which this kind of leadership has over 500,000 Republican electors, white and black, in Texas. Under this leadership these electors can be put behind men and measures which if not tremendous influence and effect in shaping the measures and policies of two strong political parties, exist in the country, strating the wisdom and usefulness, in our American form of government, of two strong political parties, exist in the country. So calls will be issued for nationals to attend precinct conventions. All electors pay his or her poll tax; attend the convention; and elect for such persons or delegates who will elect a state chairman and a national president. The Republican organization that will elect the decent electors, white and black. I hope you will lend your influence to the organization that will reward your success. I am truly, WM. M. MONDALY. UNUSUAL BUT TRUE The Arkansas Survey: The following incident was so unusual that we feel it is worthy of a Pacific trail leaving Tacoma Wednesday morning, an elderly colored man came to the stations where tickets are sold, the conductor came around for cash fare; she was short of the necessary money; he out; he verbal abuse upon her; pull the bell cord and put her on the out; he pay the difference if it came to it; but to our surprise the conductor told us the tone and seemed to believe her story that it was very cent she had to pay the difference. The fare. He cut off the cash fare and gave him warm and that he would be colored to ride colored buses; he replied that she looked honest and was warm and that he would be colored to ride colored buses; he them out; snatch tickets and just wait for the note to coloraded buses; note the appearance of this type. The average conductor we meet is man and human. We don't know what produced the change but they are man and human. We don't know OPINIONS FUNERAL EXPENSES VERSUS CAPITAL BY WILLIAM PICKENS (For The Associated Negro Press) Florence Mills is dead. Nobody can hurt her now. We have said many good things about her, and not a word too much. And that Florence was buried in a $1,000 (ten thousand dollar) coffin. A little later we read that her estate left is $3,000 (thirty-three thousand dollars), or threebucks. She was buried with a $33,000 estate should be buried in a $10,000 coffin. That is she said. Florence Mills, however, she was dead; she could not bury herself; she was buried. Now, this funeral cost must have totalled much more than the price of flowers, carriages, services and all the times the price of the coffin–in flowers, carriages, services and funeral guests, etc. Therefore, it is reasonable to suppose that the funeral cost must be more than the value of the Florence Mills estate. That is foolish. Someone causes she was dead. That is sheer economic madness. Economic stability is not the world. To have a $33,000 estate, and to have, say, $50,000 on one's own estate, is the frog in the bottom of a 40-foot well, and who was reputed to be the king of four. As the old drunkard said, a few jumps of that kind would land in this world. In this world the economic ball is the matrix of all the other hells hereabouts. To get out of hell we must send a few jumps, but it is our business sentiment. It was not our business to pardon it, but it is our business to think: if $2,000 had been spent on a coffin and $8,000 invested in an orchid, then the orchid would be of whom may day make fine fingers and dancers–then the name of whom may day have lived longer in human hearts. GARVEY'S RELEASE By WILLIAM PICKENS We can afford a word about "the low down" on the Garvey release or parole, or whatever is the proper term when a n危亡 is let out of prison. We have several times expressed our attitude of mind about releasing Garvey, especially contrasting his continued imprisonment with the frequent paroles" of white offenders, who have not apologized for our position. A friend of mine in one of the states (I will not say which) between the states of Washington, had several conversations with the department of justice. Finally, on the day just before the release was announced, the department that the plain colored people of the United States were vengeful punishment put upon Garvey by having him imprisoned for the murder of the department, in their appeals for release, had several times indicted Garvey "because he was a Nazi." Garvey "because he was a Nazi," the department. The department implied that they had, however, held on to Garvey because they had been held to suppose that Garvey "because he was a Nazi." "Poor negers" of the United States against exploitation and robbery. Garvey could hardly be a danger if Garvey were sent, like other released aliens about to be sent to the United States, indication of colored American immigration portation would prevent, or at least greatly, that they back to Africa and Then our diplomatic friend plainly hinted that the immediate release of Gavrey from Negro masses to the Coolidge administration and would increase the administration among them in 1928, as did any had influence. At any rate, at wain, in twenty-four hours after my friend arrived in Washington, I commented "with the department officials the daily papers announced Gavrey's this is certainly a wonderful world—if you know how to take it" Colored Americans should note: "The government was holding them in the mind, they were meeting the minds, the influential minds anyway, of colored 2. The government released Gavrey when some of the government officials were in the mind, they release would meet the minds of the majority of colored Americans. They would have a powerful influence on anybody, whenever they unite their aims and goals, remain in this country, but if he invokes the constitution" (on anything except a round-about) "with Gavrey good health and good luck, whether deported or alcalde, remain in this country, but if he invokes the constitution" (on anything except a round-about) "with Gavrey good health and bon voyage."

"THERE WERE THE PHERED ABIDING IN THE FIELD." By Daniel W. Chase (For The Associated Negro Press) A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT "What means this glory round our feet?" The magi muzed, "more bright." The WONDER of CHRISTMAS by Mary Graham Bonner And voice chanted clear and sweet, "Today the Prince of Peace is it was on the plains of Bethlehem about five or six miles south of Jerusalem. The time is Christmas (December 25, B. C. 5). Calendars were not based upon the birth of Christ until centuries after that event and then Dionysus Exigente. A mistake made a mistake of four years. EVERYONE had wished for snow and now it was snowing with a white, calm dignity all its own, and a cheery merriment about it so much in keeping with the season. Snow was not unusual. They had all seen plenty of it before but they wished for it because it was Christmas time and snow at Christmas time was lovelier than at any other time of the year. It seemed so fresh, so new, so clean. There was a new-found wonder every year in snow at Christmas. It is the old, old story and even new it is, that the Messiah forbore the prophets would come, to save them, to save the world. Just before the birth of our Saviour it was necessary for Mary and Joseph to be long and hard journeying with their Bethlehem, the old time home of Jesus, to Rome and David. The object of that telltale story which could not but be disagreeable to the settled habits of Oriental life was that the House of David in a cemetery of the House of David in a cemetery had been ordained by Emperor Julius the Jewish custom that the census should be carried out by the family which already belonged. Had not been for this imperial decree, the family would not be born in Nazareth, and the prophecy that they should be born in Bethlehem, would THE AIR was crisp and keen and alive. There seemed to be new life in the air, new, joyous life. There was a new-found wonder every year in the crisp air of Christmas time. Jesus Christ was "the first born" son of Mary, which proves that He had other brothers and sisters. Over the same fields which David Christ's human ancestor, had developed his sheepdogs, his shepherd们 were watching their flocks. The story is intertwining through and through antonion. There have been several different interpretations placed upon it, but the most significant quotation as to the date, but one that is most obvious is "Christ Jesus came into the world." WREATHS hung in the windows of houses, lighted Christmas trees could be seen, busy people were being busier than ever, taking around presents, arranging presents at home, filled with the light-hearted joy of the Christmas rush and excitement. There was a new-found wonder every year in the busy days around Christmas. Particularly at this season, the year of the war, we only the wise men following a star found the babe, but that肿 been so now go even to Belchiphe. Then as now, there were, "perilous times". It was hard for men to adjust to the new world, the age in which they lived. The known world was then divided, even as it is now. There were stifles, and the world was dissatisfaction. Men then, as now, were living very much under the pressure of the Spirit had little to do with action. The reason played no part in their dealings, one with another. Strong men had to deal with the new world. Those in power ruled with an iron hand, and humble souls grew faint. HILDREN were on their way to bed, thinking of nothing save Santa Claus, who would soon be speeding across the roofs of the world with his fleeting reindeer, ready to pick from his overflowing pack, presents for them. There was a new-found wonder every year in the boundless generosity of Santa Claus and his merrily understanding reindeer. Christmas itself has been commercialized. Men and women, like children, want presents. Scarcely the world is full of wares and preparations; the world is full of wares and preparations; whether we shall have limited ment and war material, nation after nation is building larger war ships that can carry more cargo on an aircraft program, far exceeding that for land and sea years ago. And friction; there in the green for gold. YOUNG people who had grown older came back home for Christmas. Every corner, every store, every house had its childhood memories for them. They felt happily young again. Their thoughts danced and skipped. There was a new-found wonder every year in coming home for Christmas. One writer has said that peace is an angelic song that has not struck a harmonious chord in human life. Lack Of Good Will There are not enough men of good will in the world, with the spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ, to give any valuable idea of real brotherhood. THERE was laughter in the hearts of everyone, so that everyone felt young. Laughter is the secret of youth. All who know this secret know perennial youth. There was a new-found wonder every year at Christmas in discovering this glowing truth. But there must be something to be done. There must be something, this glad Christmas morning to make you and me feel glad to live, and glander and glander to make men and women really discover the matchlessness of the Christ. There surely must be something to be done, a clearer conception, a clearer conception, and liveable interpretation of the "new what is it?" He came to set up "What is it?" Are shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch? for OR THE wonder of Christmas is the wonder of the beauty of the usual, elevated and enhanced into the unusual. For the spirit of Santa Claus and his nineteen hundred years and more. Since those sweet oracles were dumb, We wait for Him like these of rere. PAGE TEN FAIRPLAY By Alvin J. Moses (For the Associated Negro Press) If the sportspond teaches the budding young athletes any one great lesson, it is that of FAIRPLAY. The device, even when we enter in the lists of sport, is no less different from the desire to rank as successful business men and women in the practical daily issues And what is "FAIRPLAY"? In the language of the "holi pollo," the collar is more than twice the height more than $46,000 a year to "King Sport" in New York City alone—it typifies the athletic glory of professional sports. Equal rights for the immigrants to our shores—a fair and just opportunity to every seeker of athletic glory, to every athlete of professional sports as if fifteen years ago, colored schoolboy runners were forced to do the same, as if paved city streets, while junior and senior members of the various white athletic clubs scattered all over the city, were forced to armories. The result of much agitation on the part of colored citizens who are well versant with their civic duties, was by patrons of the "other group," is the beautiful 369 Regimental armory now our boys may train without our girls, with stiff muscles and pulled tendons. The so-called spirit of "America" vehicle that caused these white friends SHUDDE'S HAT COMPANY Shudde's Southern Hat Company, corner Travis and Preston, who for a number of years has been known for its courteous treatment of its patrons, especially patrons of color, has recently renovated the place and installed a first-class men's furnished lobby in the way of heralded daisies may be found, and at prices which will suit the discriminating boy well as the man of the street. The manager of this department, Mr. Hodge, in speaking to an In-room patron, said that he always catered to our colored patrons and wish to assure them that the same courtesy which has alienated them, a place will continue to be found here.

Janevelle, Wits.—A modern Cinderella who outsider the fairy tale for living for a month in a veritable fairyland, she contemplates a future made golden by the generosity of her benefactor. She Bachman, whose quiet life with three sisters and a widowed mother in this city was interrupted this full by a fire. She granduncle, Baron Wooldington, accompanied by her elder sister, Carbine. Her sojourn in this fairyland Jenne spoke recently. She has returned to her high school studies and is now attending which she contemplates attending the University of Wisconsin. The plans of her sister, Catherine, are not yet $150,000 Trust Fund. Funds are assured, for it was learned that Baron Woolington has made permanent provision for their needs for the summer fund for them that was reported to be approximately $150,000. "It was one round of pleasure," Jean said. "With Miss Bordolph, a friend of mine, we went to museums and historical places in the daytime and to theater and ballrooms at night. All day we toured the city, riding in our uncle's lounge, which had two chauffeurs, and morning we had breakfast in bed. Baron Woolington, Jean said, started from his country place in Scotland but became ill and did not return." Tells of Shopping Tours. "As soon as uncle was well enough to see us, Miss Bordolph took us shopping." she said. "We found that most of their clothes are like ours, except that they are not made of low heels and are thick soled and their hairs are worn well down over their eyes. Everything he could show us a nice time and was not a bit haughty, but very unaffected. His own daughter, Catherine McDonald Buchanan, came down from .oatland, where she was visiting Princess Mary, to meet us. "When the time came for us to leave, Baron Wooldvington told us with tears in his eyes about the trust he had given us, and thought he would never see us again." Gets Photograph of Famous Encke's Comet Chicago. The first photograph to be obtained of the famous Encke's comet as it approaches the spot in its orbit, by Prof. G. Van Biesbreek of Yerkes observatory. University of Chicago officials announced the comet as the reflector, Prof. Van Biesbreek photographed the comet, which is 10,000 times fainter than a star, just visible to the naked eye, in the constellation Pegusa. Around the sun are encircled by around the sun every three and three years. It will be nearest the sun for this return on February 20, 1918. The comet has not been dislocated in its orbit by the gravitational pull of one of the other members of the solar system since last seen. Prof. G. Van Biesbreek of Yerkes' comet was discovered 140 years ago by Mechinan of Paris. Thirty years later the German astronomer, Prof. G. Van Biesbreek, found the comet was periodic.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1927 AZTEC FIXED BIRTH OF NEW YEAR BY THE SUN— Young Mexicans in the old Aztec new year on May 17, we cording to a communication received at Washington from Mrs Zelia Nuttall, well-known ex-archaeology teacher at Covay. Mrs. Nuttall has advocated that the celebration of the his life should be a patriotic one, but that the children should exchange gifts consisting only of flowers and candies, instead of using the keen observation or nature of the old inhabitants of nature. How Chemical Reaction Can Be Brought About A new method of chemical decomposition by which "excited" mercury atoms strike chemical molecules and split them apart into their constituent elements in a day plague, is described by Prof. Hugh Stott Taylor, chairman of the chemistry department of Princeton university. This method, which, based on the fact that mercury atoms are Charlotte Elizabeth Procter follow in chemistry, shows the effect of high temperatures on chemical compounds can be imitated at ordinary room temperature. Mercury atoms are then mercury mercury atoms endowed by light with high energy. In this way, water molecules are broken into fragments of hydrogen and oxygen, ammonia and other compounds that are which are generally achieved at high temperatures. The fragments of the decomposing molecule are very reactive and new combinations can therefore be formed. Mercury is shattered in the presence of oxygen, phenol or curcumin acid is obtained. According to Professor Taylor, such a reaction would be of great interest in the methods of producing "excited" atoms could be found. Experiments in this direction are in progress at Princeton as well as the Institute of Physics and chemistry. How to Treat Black Eye There are a number of ways to get a black eye, one of which is bumping into an open door. But we won't ask you to get it. If you want to apply for a black eye is to apply cold compresses immediately after the bruise has been inflicted. A clean hauberk chief wring in ice water or an ice pack. If the application as soon as it begins to get warm. If this treatment is continued for an hour or several hours it may prevent discoloration. If the application is not begun until after the flesh has become black apply hot water compresses for half an hour three times a day until the cure. If there is pain in the eyelid a physician should be consulted. How to Treat Burn The South Dakota State college gives the following practical method for treating burns. If the skin is not broken, use a sterilized bottle of baking soda. Keep this damp. Bandage lightly. Usually a blister should not be broken. In time the skin will heal. Do not use a sterilized fine sewing needle. Prick the skin from outside the wound. Do not to break the skin or needle. Burned clothing is cut off the body. Do not remove that which is broken in a burn, cover the spat with carrot oil. Cover it with sterilized gauze. Never put cotton on a How to Remove Ink Spot Ink spots are quickly and easily removed from blankets, table linen or any washable cloth by putting one on the back of a duck in a plot of hot water, then dipping the stained spot into this solvent and squeezing it several times. The ink stains will disappear when necre is circle or yellow discoloration. The ink will be washed or cleaned and have traces of ink left. Jack Dempsey, when all the world knew that he was the logical contender, Wills might have earned a cool victory. He cared to step aside from his logical contender position, and poll off Gibbons from his house. He cared to step aside from his logical contender that might have proved duck soup for him from 1918-24, when he had a heavyweight of the time. Jack Kearns, with the suave assistance of Tex Hickard, raised a country-wide question, and, like most of the tury Ago. Alamosa, Cote-Two, failed and crumbled parchments with indistinct lines and markings of trails have led searching parties into the Conejos mountains in quest of gold dust and ingots, believed buried more than a century ago. The searching parties combed many sections of the mountains during the summer, but early winter snows have forced abandonment of the projects under management. One of the bands of deliverers hidden treasure is known as the "Treasure company," with headquarters at Capulín, a Spanish settlement in the northwest corner of the country is a partnership between Charles P. Grasser, rancher, and Jesse Reynolds, Denver prospector. The latter has spent the summer digging along Rock Creek Park, where he thought to have been buried in the 70s of the last century. Reynolds also is seeking an old Spanish mine, which he claims to have located on the bank of the San Junn mountains. Early day history, romance and tragedy mark the trails that lead to the treasure. The story says the treasure was concealed by French and Spanish mining expeditions while under attack by Indian warriors. The tale of the Rock creek cache carries with it a story of vengeance wrought by Indians against an expeditionary force of Frenchmen. The story also shows the account, kidnaped the daughter of an Indian chiefain and later deserted her. The white men previously had been the most virgin gold and were transporting it on burrows to the gulf coast. The outraged Indians amused and massacred them, who buried the gold, the story runs. Washington. — Some mullions of Americans with vivid recollections of wartime troubles in keeping rattles off enemy fire will be interested to learn that future American armies probably won't have the same kind of cloches to do. In a recent public recess, Maj. Gen. C. Williams, chief of army ordnance, states that efforts are being made to subdue enemy metal parts in army fighting equipment. "Extent of investigation of connective stainless steel for use in rifles, machine gun barrels and other components is being carried on with the object of eventually making as much metal as practical, as practical," says General Williams. "Such use, if perfected, would result in far-reaching econ- To Install Restaurants **On Swedish Airplanes** Stockholm—Restaurant service is to be installed next season on the airplanes of Nils Ahlén, the Norwegian airline, the well-known Swedish airline. Great activity is expected in 1928 on account of the Olympic games in Amsterdam. Many of the planes are to be care take of the anticipated heavy traffic. Great progress in flying has been made during the last year both in the number of planes carried, as well as in the increased safety of the planes. Considerable quantities of flight have also been transported. Example of the efficient role of the pilot in the Swedish飞翔 plays in the European air lines can be mentioned the fact that London newspapers may now be sold and read in Stockholm and reporting the day after their publication.

Make Tunney Fight Godfrey Cleveland, Ohio.—An elaborate electrical device on the order of a power supply for the Balwinbird, director of the Balwinbird research laboratory near her, to tell exactly how much time mother wore in the incubation period of eggs and how much time she takes off. Thirteen minutes appears to be about the average length of the time mother wore in the incubation period of dom can stay only six minutes. Almost always she broods her babies in the incubation period, though Mr. Balwinbird has a record of one tightly female woman that went out for the evening at 8:50 p.m. During the last three days of the incubation period the absences are much less frequent but of about the same amount. The wrennograph, as Mr. Baldwin has christened the instrument, is a device that allows the bird to register with the electric light circuit that registers the temperature of the nest each time the bird goes on and off the eggs. A tiny wire is stretched between the nest and the strand of straw from the nest lining. This wire is connected with a self-recording instrument in the laboratory to measure the temperature accurate to within one degree Fahrenheit. It is probably the first time that such apparatus has been used in the study of bird information about the history of birds. Two other instruments based on the same principle but not self-recording give more accurate and egg temperature information about the atmosphere near the nest. This enables the bird research workers to note the temperature adjustments in the nest outside during the incubation period. American Museums Buy Historic Drinking Vessels Berlin—The Metropolitan museum of New York and the Chicago Institute of Arts, which part wants experts claim to be the most important private collection of German, Bohain and Dutch glass-drinking vessels in the world.
