Beginning Sunday, June 17, a drive will be officially launched here for memberships the Houston-based organization $48 insuring every family thus paying to free hospitalization for the period of one month. A group plan has also been provided, whereby members of lodges, organizations and families pay for $6 for half of their members, can provide free hospital service for their entire membership.
One word, if a local lodge or some other organization has 100 members, the payment of $200 will entitle the entire membership to free hospitalization for $6 per member.
This plan should appeal especially to local lodges, who spend large sums of money annually in trying to provide care for their members and attention for their members, usually in the homes of such guild members.
We have been organized and will canvass the city in a whirlwind campaign to sell at least 1000 of these memberships will be colored Houston based upon our sense of civic pride and recital gratitude if we fall short of this goal.

In voting these salary increases only 11 votes were registered against the chancellor, wife and son and grand keeper of records and seal a vacation, not a military objection was raised by the governor. In selecting Dallas as the 1929 convention city, the grand lodge will have to agree that Dallas will "have to go some" to surpass "Heavenly Houses" in caring for the grand body next year.
In ordering the local lodges to bond officers in Fraternity Bonding College, the local lodges and his cabin have shown that they have faith in degree enterprises where they can be trusted, honesty, integrity and ability, and the order be commented for this benefit. So many discrepancies have arisen in the lodges of local lodges, recent orders in in recent years, that the plan to dispatch a county judge to the county of local lodges and courts is a wise and timely act, and should prove highly beneficial both to local lodges and the county lodges and court.
Another thing the recent grand lodge of Pythians did and that was confirmed on an Editorial Panel.

SPEAKER ATFISK
Nashville, Tenn.—(ANP)—One of the principal addresses delivered at the commencement exercises of Fisk University, here, was that of John D. Kockeffler, Jr., who attended his own graduation from Brown University in 1897. Declaring the purpose of all education was to teach men and women how to live full lives in any environment, the philanthropist called on the university to carry forward their education in living useful lives. "Obviously every one should make a living," the speaker, "and education should properly hold to that end. The chief of existence, how to make a life. And end if that be true, then may it not be true that the purpose of education is to fit the individual to live and lead a useful and well-rounded life in any environment in which he finds himself. There has been a great rush of boys and girls to the colleges and universities of our land, and I doubt not many of these young people have got much that was needed in their communities there afforded. On the other hand, I cannot but think that with a better had they remained at home and taken up some task for which better had they remained into their stride earlier in life. "For after all, just spending many years in school or college does not make them better equipped with education. On the contrary, during that time one may simply have formed habits of indulence, acquired an unnatural sense of self, become dissatisfied with the circumstances, and environment in which they live." And by natural endowment to live."

Labor Leader Advises Against Such Action; Whites Ready For Jobs
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters Meets Another Setback-Pullman President Accepts Threat—Randolph's Reign Tottering—Head of American Federation of Labor Deems the Time Not Propitious For Strike.
Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—Because it was deemed that the time was not propitious to strike, William P. Greene, president of the American Federation of Labor, advised the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters to call off the strike which was set for Friday afternoon at one o'clock, and as a result the strike was postponed till a later date.
The strike machinery, according to a statement credited to A. Philip Randolph, national organizer, had been perfected and will be kept intact until the time is thought to be right. The strike edict resulted from the three-year fight which the brotherhood has waged to force the Pullman Company to raise the wages of the porters and to give them better working hours.

Pullman Heath's Statement
"The porters would strike to maintain its service to the public and is not losing any sleep over the situation and does not anticipate that any of its patrons will. The Pullman Company is fully conversant with the activities of certain outside agitators and is not fully conversant with the porters, a large majority of whom are not in sympathy with the movement and will remain on the job and perform their regular duties. If vacancies occur they will be filled immediately by competent, trained men."
The Applicant For Porter stated:
"We will apply For Porter this Thursday that hundreds of white men, at the present unemployed, are said to have applied for the jobs of the porters who are currently employed by the bar of college boys recently arriving here were on hand for the emergency."

MODERN BRONZE
HERCULES
BY ALVIN J. MOSES
(For the Association Negro Press)
Tall as a California Redwood, and lit as the jacques of his native jungle, the possessing of no little of Elinor Glynn's famous "IT," and we've reproduced a faithful likeness of Regina colored starwars staring from her lage-lord-woman once King Menelik.
We watched the "herrone Bromcue" perform the recognized starwars of the greatest wrestling champion himself a former world's wrestling champion who was in the capa-ness of roughness or any other infraction of the rules. Her wrestler has often wondered why more of our native-born athletes for their prodigious strength, do not go in for the wrestling game where evidence is in its fabric circles, as a group are a hard lot, and to all advantages are content at earning $5000 as contrasted with the $100,000 demands of Jack Sharkey, Delaney
Weight Never Bothers Him
Ski is never concerned overmuch about the weight of his opponents. Trophy weights 170 pounds when in prime condition, the Senegalese depends on his superior and agility to offset the extra bulk he needs. He is not given to boasting as was another countryman and he entertains illusions about his ability to dethrone Joe Stecher at this stage of his development than to mingle with such as the younger Žoyako, Hans Steinke, the cleverest lightweight wrestler

Would Start ScLool Here
Failing to defeat the champions, Reginald would like nothing better than to thank the youngest and the oldest youths who have been inspired because of his success here. He is in the midst of a grueling game, and quite often death resulting Japanese grips, and with his intelligence, to turn our protege who is playing in the game. Here is an opportunity for some association or club to start wrestling tournaments throughout among the young of our group. Wrestling and boxing, are real sports, and there is no reason why every other group should appreciate this fact more than the fact that he is the only wrestling tournaments throughout the country has been quite profitable to him. He should point and it should also prove beneficial to his Colored American brethren and the finer points of the ancient game.

MAKE OPPORTUNITIES
While we wait for opportunities, life rushes by, and passes us: give us make opportunities. Whether it be fame, or fortune or desire, the powerful force will open the door to these avenues.
He who sits abjectly listens, stultifies some strange chance to bring others to serve him, will wait in vain.
Let us best ourselves, throw off the indifference and make opportunities.

Compliments of
COLONEL ROBERT T. H. SIM-MONS, well-known oil magnate and promoter of Mexia, who is spending considerable time in Houston and South Texas on official business, was asked his impressions of the recent Python grand lodge and he gave out the following statement:
"I remember back in 1917 when 'Shed Willis was made grand chancellor of the broke, and it did not even have credit with colored undertakings. Willis himself was in the unrestrained, and very few, if any, colored undertakers would handle the funeral of a deceased Pythian, and he did not, but take it from me, he has certainly made a big thing out of the Pythian, and I am sure he admitted that he is a fraternal贤人. I have been a member of the Pythian order for years, and I am proud to be identified with such a wonderful organization.
"Willis for supreme chancellor, married women for the home and signaled the city's authority to the colonel's slogan," he fired as he signalled his liveried chauffeur to the island. "He was Dan, as he joined a line of automotive traffic for the Island City. And—with snap his slogan—the tone of his colonel's Silimson" meant every word he had uttered.
Miss Robie D. A. Jones, 1972 West St., was host last Friday evening, and was invited to meet me in Meddames E. Sampaso, T. O. Newlin and J. E. Walker of El Paso, Texas, to meet with Mrs. Sampaso, though a resident of Texas, is a teacher in New Mexico with Miss Jones in war work at Pt. Bliss, Nc. Miss Jones showed, in a brief talk, with Mrs. Sampaso and economic and economic conditions in El Paso, and praised Houstonians for a number of local friends of Miss Jones were present and all expressed feeling a very pleasant evening.

Detroit, Mich. — (ANP) — The New
Mount Zion Baptist Church was
damaged to the extent of some $25,
$50, the bombing was unexpected,
the minister, but a rumor was rife
north church in the neighborhood.
The church building was purchased a three weeks ago from the Latharan family. It was rumbered at the time that John M. Vigliotti, a local banker, had built a Catholic congregation for the building at pay $7,500 for the property. His offer was refunded and there are bank利息 on the property. Officers are holding the banker for management. John W. Lodge advised the pastor, Rev. J. S. Williams, to remain and repair the church and assume behind him the world would stand behind him and added that "it would be a disgrace on Detroit if you move." Backing the businessmen had offered financial aid to repair the church and pooled in the effort of running down every bombs. A man, maritime, church worker will be held in the school building adjoining the church and the work of repairing the church has been startled by the number of moving "declared Rev. Williams" if these cowards who bombed the church are they are.
Bay St. Louis, Miss.—In recognition of successful stand against a mob, the mayor presented prisoners, former Sheriff Joseph V. Bontemps was honored by his fellow-convict, former George Bontemps, presentation of a handsome bronze medal, award committee of the Southern Combatant commemorated took place on April 17, last month, two Neo-Nazi killers of killing women were threatened by a mob numbering more than 100.

BOOM DePRIEST
AT TESTIMONIAL
TO BISHOP CAREY
Chicago, Ill.—(A N P)—The first opportunity was offered last Tuesday night to learn what is going to be the attitude of Negro leaders of importance in the state, and a Negro in congress from the first district of Illinois. The occasion was a testimonial to Bishop A. J. Carey, Chicago civil service commissioner, held in the parlor of the Appointment of the most of the principal leaders in politics, business and the professions in Chicago.
Most noticeable during the testimony was the continual reference to the congressional situation and the steady insistence that the teamman, and his party's choice for the congressional seat, be supported.
First among those to make a plea for congressional action was John R. Lynch, who was first elected to congress from Mississippi in 1869. He insisted that their choice be embodied that their duty was to support DoDvest in order to be sure that there were a strong position for Negroes running, he warned, there was a strong position for the position.
Lynch also took occasion to tell DePriest that the work of congress issues in committees, not can the floor of the house of representatives. Cognizance was taken by Mal. Lynch the continued reference to DePriest's lack of scholastic ability, and he informed them that in congress one could find many men who do not know nearly as much as DePriest.

Sunday School
Lesson
(the REP. R. F. FITZWATER, D.D., Dean
Noble Bible Institute of Chicago).
(8. 1922, Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for June 17
LESSON TEXT - Mark 15:16-14.7
PRIMARY TOPIC - Tear down text in that, where it is most important.
PRIMARY TOPIC - Jesus Dies for the
JUNIOR TOPIC - Christ Dies for God
Christ's force was so marked by the thorns and cruel blows that "there were no injuries" to him. All this he endured for us. He drank this bitter cup to its very dregs, but refused to drink "the wine mingled with the wine which would have deadened his Pain.
2. Gambling for the clothing of the Lover.
2. Having named Haiti to the cross they gambled for the seamless robe under the very cross on which he was dying. He was drowned down to watch Haiti (Matt. 27; 38).
3. The superstition (v. 26).
It was customary to place over the very cross the robe and crime of the offender. Though Plateau did this in mockery to the wax the title was absolutely true. He was placed between two thieves (vv. 27; 38).
4. Between two thieves (vv. 27; 38).
This added to His thieves. His identification with the two robbers was made clear. He was numbered with the transgressors" ( Isa. 53; 12).
The dying Saxon reviled (vv. 23; 28).
10. The Centurion's confession (v. 38).
He said, "Truly this man was the Son of God."
He angered group of women (vv. 40, 41).

General Assembly Adopts Good-will Program At Meet
Tulsa, Oklahoma—(ANP) - Meeting in a section of the city where race prejudice is so rife that the usual good dinner will dinner had to be called off, the church in the United States reverberates Church in the closing hours of their annual seven day conference Wednesday voted for "interracial good and understanding."
The report which expressed the sentiment of the church read as follows: "We believe that the solution to the fundamental unity of humanity and to the practice of human brotherhood. It believes that the solution of this, as weas of all acute problems of social life, lies in the application of the principles of the sage. The general assembly expresses the assurance that in due time one of the meetings will be held within the bounds of one of the synods within which both races are strongly represented, both of whom may share in the meeting at any time to receive the counsel of national missions to this effect."
The report, hurled into the face of the Southern members and Southern leaders, called off the annual goodwill dinner because the Negro delegates could not attend, was interpreted as an answer to the question of which cropped out when Negro delegates were segregated in the general meeting. The Southern delegates expressed the opinion that the assembly had no power to adopt the measure which would also give the Negro equal voice in the decision, even belong to the Southern branch and the action of the general assembly to prevent the between the two bodies of Presbyterians.

TALKING to a roomful of high school girls on personal hygiene, should distract them from normal health for girls to keep the system functioning and all girls to maintain normal health for girls should be encouraged and diet habits should be encouraged. They should be harmed in taking nujol, since it works harm in mechanically and can't disturb the normal body. Particularly with girls, there are times when nujol must always be taken. The situation can even night for a few days. It's a thoroughly safe and harmed method. It won't cause distress or griping or grinding.

Former Texan, Bishop College Product, First Race Man To Complete Course in East Orange Institution of Learning —Exempted From Final Examinations—Valedictorian of Class Composed of 33 White Students.
East Orange, N. J.—Showing that indomitable spirit which has made Texans famous all over the country, Rev. C. M. Long, pastor Calvary Baptist Church of this city, has the first colored graduate of Upala Swedish Lutheran College of East Orange, but in receiving his degree of bachelor of arts in philosophy and social sciences, the reverend led his white classmates in scholastic work, being exempted from final examination, also carrying off the highest honors.
Rev. Long, formerly a resident of Texas and graduate of Bishop Colleen's institution the normal and journalistic courses in 1983, plans to enter Drew University's Uptown Yale for his master's degree. During his study at Upsa's the minister has created profound respect for the black community, students from
Enters Upsala January 1926
Having established his residence in East Orange, N. J., September, 1950, he began immediately plan for the beginning of the spring semester, he launched upon the course which was calculated to lead to the realization of his dream. He restless for years—the course which was also to bring honor to his degree—he College a high intellectual atmosphere, and a thoroughness of organization and class-room works in the then-urban Church. They to rigid bap-
py conditions he at once sought, to adjust himself, and within a few months gave evidence that he was no mean contender in the race for knowledge, but was one with whom he would eventually have to reckon.
During the following school year, 1929-37, he was placed upon the disbanded faculty, where he still remains, and to him gravitated the responsibility of dean of the other sixteen members of the faculty, and rolled an students of Upsala. In this position he guarded well every matter of scholarship, athletics or discipline. For these reasons, and the matter of all conflicting interests which involved his people, his departure from the college is general. He makes between all conflicting students. He has won for himself a general esteem as a great that ennobles his students. At the opening of the fall semester, at the opening of the spring semester by faculty members that Rev. Kow had graduate in the spring of 1928 at the head of his class, which indeed graduated. He became the principal for the school. Yet, when the final averages were taken and became the new head of the class, he distanced his white brothers and sisters in pure scholarship, not only because of bestowment, but where it did, but so well had Rev. Long done his work in practically the same manner as in bestowing class and college that he also be chosen by his class as "class prophet."
Graduating Exercises Held
The stage for graduation was set Wednesday, June 6, at 10:00 a.m. in the open, upon the spacious, beautiful great throng of whites and blacks who gathered there, say Mr. Long and others. They were there to see and to jolles with many members and friends of the class. The music stirred that great throng to tense emotions, but when the graduates wart sons and daughters from seven spaces and countries—from China, America and other corners of the earth, and led in scholarship by the graduates of black men filled—across the platform to receive degrees, there make thunderous shouts, that could not be heard.

He declared that in all he had received $2,200 from the committee, and he added $250 additional $750 Uncle Joe Watson, who is now opening him for the committee terribly, but did not receive the money. The editor answered the questions of the committee terribly, but did not receive the money. He pointed out that he had spent at reimbursing himself for the committee Washington, and indicated that some people had been made to "buy up delegates for Secretary Howard," and said Coolidge
Launching into the subject, the national committee chairman from Georgia, Mr. Green, a white man who opposed the election of the late Henry Lincoln Johnson as committee chairman from Georgia, said he had defended him at every turn of the game. Howard Hayward was a different witness from Mr. Davis, answering the question of whether he was the end. He presented a memorandum showing that he had received $2,000 from the assistant Attorney General for use in Mississippi, as well as $2,000 for the maintenance of headquarters in his office at 1216 Pemberton.

Kansas City, Mo.—(MAN)—After crushing the lily-wishes in local, county, and state skirmishes, at home Robert R.

Kansas City, Mo.—(ANP) The Negro has profited little financially from espousing the cause of various candidates for the Republican nomination for the presidency of the United States, and has reported that, white politicians and made a "gentleman's agreement" that they would not spend money among the blacks to any extent. The Lowden end" to any extent. The Lowden fact, it is said that their colored field agent, Melvin Chisum, was "donated" to them. Hooveries have shown a bit more liberality but the scant $200 which testimony revealed had been advanced Perry Howard and Ben Davis the up, will do little towards paying the expense of a campaign or a political campaign. Perry Howard, who knew Perry W. Howard, Mississippi's astute national committeeman, prevailed in the campaign, and that he was $400 in "the red" because of train fares, board bills, advertising bills, and the like which were greater, the white committeeman from Texas, admits he received $700 from Perry. While little has been said about the matter, it is known that the leaders of the Republican party which they have been ignored in doing the finances, and are beginning to place credence in the legend of the Negro.

given the work of our high schools in Texas, not only for the
promotion of educational progress in the state, but for the information of other sections.

NEGRO GRAVEYARDS
By KELLY MILLBR, Howard University, Washington, D. C.
Somewhere ago I wrote a release on neglected Negro graveyards. This article was copied in the colored interiors journal with approval and commenced only out of place by virtue of here. The beautiful individual, the most famous fact that the colored race spends the maximum amount of money on funerals and the minimum amount on graveyards. Love for the dear deceased extends to the time of burial but is seems to cease after sepuration. In social more than in an individual area the graveyard is a situation containing our city of care and the upkeep of its resting place. This is, I believe, the estate promoters to awhist individual Negro graveyards are decorated in a little or no demand that the burying grounds as a whole be properly laid out and kept up according to the cottages of the cannons of the landscape grazing.
This neglect can not be due to financial support. A Negro
The other day I was visited by the white promoters of a new Negro museum, and they asked their new burying field, undertaken as a commercial venture, to provide the colored people of the capital with a burial ground for the body when we shall have laid down this heavy load. This field was laid in the white race. At the most conspicuous moment of the ginning skill. It fell no whit behind the best adorned burying grounds for the white race. At the most conspicuous moment the remains of the late Judge Terrell, unplanted from his grave, Contrasted with the Negro cemeteries this new field looks like a park contrasted to a field of graves. A colored citizen of Washington feels much indisposed to die because of the unsightly surroundings in which he was buried. P. Cook, along with the rest of our local and national celebrities, lie along with the meek and lowly in these unnatural places.
I went to the funeral of a Catholic bishop, whose universal church buries all of her descendants although the Negro dead are assigned to aggregated sections. This burying ground is every nook and corner is decorated with treen, shrubbery, and the capitol's beautiful park. On the way out I saw graveyards. Part of the fence was of wooden pickets broken and irregular to the shabbiness, the iron section was made of weeds and brushes obtruded their shaggy heads among the white tombstones. Weeds and brushes there are no regular walks or footpaths. In inclement weather one begs conveyance to take the last look at the body. Although this particular graveyard has conspicuous and naturally beautiful spots about the district, yet there is
What I have said about Washington is more or less true about every city where we live, and it is everywhere for a beautiful Negro graveyard. The universal answer to my question is that we will this reproach remain true? A graveyard is regarded as among the beauty spots of a city. Wailors are the people who work in which the community takes civic pride, and could think of taking a visitor to a Negro graveyard, except that he was possibly interested in some, one buried. Is it that the Negro has not yet developed a public improvement? Is the Negro graveyard an index to what the Negro would do if left to the city's public improvement and beautification after his cities after the name fashion, if he ordered cities? Will he not learn about the beauty and beauty in the arrangement and regulation of public projects? The Negro would race to try his hand at what it can be in manipulating important public facilities. Here is a task of the ministers who function so largely in this field. What would be the reflections on the Negro graveyard?

New York City, (ANP) - Tobie Joseph, a nine-year Nigerian high school boy of Los Angeles, Cal., was one of the fifty-five runners to arrive in the transcontinental footrace that ended at Madison Square Garden on Saturday evening, May 26, in the cored in history. The remarkable feat of this Negro lnd has just been brought to light, and it reveals one of the most thrilling stories of dwarf, the man who has come to the attention of the writer. I was a superhuman task for a mere lnd not accounted to such hardships he was to encounter on such an untaintable adventure. To such hardships he was not accounted could not make him squint. When the 199 runners started from Los Angeles on March 4, and for 84 lnd he took note of the little, Negro lnd he then left to Los Angeles he was told to follow along the route Tobie was told to quit, but he gave no heed to such advice. He was on an important mission, and he was not in danger.
It was a nobile impulse that moved to enter the race. He has an insistence that I wanted to do something to aid his father, and it occurred to him to enter the race. Perhaps it would perhaps it would be possible to earn money to help his father. It was this impulse that moved Table to start on the race, and nothing could turn him from it.

JACKSON BACKS WILLIS FOR BIG FRATERNAL POST
Editor The Houston Informer:
The grand lodge of the Colored Knights of Thyssus, jurisdiction of Texas, has been held on Monday, June 4, and adjourned Friday, June 8, was the greatest session of the Pythian grand lodge ever held in Texas.
The reports of the grand officers show, our numerical and financial increase has continued constantly in an arithmetical progression. Our matchless grand chancellor, W. S. Willis—a prodigy in fraternialism, a wizard in business, a mystic in conspiracy, and a man throughout the 18th century on his own genius in staging and in executing the well-defined plans of the grand lodge just adjourned.
The affection and endurance with which he is held in the hearts of the Texans is throughout the 18th century, the broad limits of Texas, and paralleled by any wrathfulness whose convention has been held in Texas. With his wife or against her, he is a supreme chancellor for supreme chancellor at the biennial session convening in Indianapolis, India.
It is my opinion, from the vast number of communications being received every section of the supreme jurisdiction to the supreme chancellorship is a matter of fact; and his election will be from destructive building programmes now under the supervision of the supreme administration from bungling policies, as well as from destructive building programmes now under the supervision of the proud heritage of Past Supreme Chancellor Sam Starks to a warring passion of passion and blotted with shame. Willis has a host of friends everywhere who long to see him wield the sceptre of righteous power and of warring passion the highest official in the Pythian world. It is my belief that his election is as certain as an assured sunrise, rising the cliffs and peaks of lofty mountain ranges. A. S. JACKSON, Waco, Texas.
