While talking about Dallas and the fair, we wish to cite the attention of Editor John W. Rice of the Dallas Express, President H. A. ("Pops") Strickland of the Excelsior Mutual Benefit Association and other chessy Dallasites of color, to the fact that Houston is not only leading Dallas in the benefit association but the latest figures from the state highway office, Austin, show that Dallas is second with 67,612; while San Antonio ranks third with 87,670 and Fort Worth fourth, with 42,654. The organizations gave Dallas a 450 majority over Houston, but the 1928 figures clearly indicate that Dallas is trailing Houston. Of course, those alibi-hunting Dallasites will now swear that several thousand automobiles are traversing Dallas and that the streets of that city without the mere formality of registering with the Texas Department of Transportation or that Dallas has sold several thousand cars since the compilation of the above figures. Dallas will "birds" like we do, we venture the assertion that they will claim that Dallas did not purchase any cars, in order that Houston could at last win one flag in 14 years. Oh, gas! and nerve of those Dallasites. The formal opening of the Dunbar National Bank, located at 2342 Eighth Avenue, New York City, and named after the lamented Negro post, Paul Laurance Dunker, marks a new epoch in the banking history of America and for the venture is successful (and we see no reason why it should not be similar financial institutions possessing larger colored populations). The Dunbar bank was launched by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and is located in Harlem, better known as Located in New York, the heads are all members of the white race (John D.

In promoting Mr. Goore to this important post, the executive board pursued the policy of advancing a member of the "cabinet," and the appointment was unanimous.

AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, SEPT. 29, 1928 N.A.A.C.P. Reports Defense Fund For Last Sixteen Years New York City, Sept.26.—Increasing importance of the legal defense work in behalf of the Negro, conducted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, and growth in the number of appeals for aid, have prompted the issuance of a summary of the history of N. A. A. C. P. legal work. This summary, covering the years from 1912 to date, shows that up to August 31, 1928, there have been expenditures of $73,814.97, including appropriations of $2,770.18 from the general fund, for legal defense. These expenditures of the N. A. A. C. P. during 16 years—less than is often spent commercially on a single case—have funded five cases before the United States Supreme Court establishing the Negro as a right as well as hundreds of cases before the lower courts. The five cases participated in and won before the U. S. Supreme Court are: Grandfather clauses case, 1913; Louisville segregation case, 1917; Arkansas riot cases, 1926; Texas white primary case and Louisiana segregation case, 1927. The smallest sum expended from the legal defense fund on any one case since 1919 is $9.00, and the largest sum, on the two trials of the Sweet case, $7,849, with the Arkansas peonage cases, $1,049, and the expended by the office branches of the N. A. A. C. P. office independently fought cases to successful conclusions or have raised and expended large sums in cooperation with the national office.

During the interim, at the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1923, the Ngro civil service personnel of the federal government were稼働和formed to number approximately 51,905 workers, with a total annual earning capacity of $23,655,956. These are the facts disclosed in a report which has just been released by the secretary of labor. The tremendous gain of 29,265 workers and the lump total salary of $40,199,199 caused by the $23,540 workers and $12,456,700 in yearly salaries in 1910, to 51,905 workers and $38,655,956 in 1923, is no more remarkable than the salary total of $44,183,133 for the fiscal year 1928, a gain of $11,827,174 over that of 1923, a year which represented the close of an era in the rapid recovery of poverty from the outbreaks of war of the World War.

TRUCK SHATTERED BY HITTING BUMP; OCCUPANTS FLEE New Orleans, LA.—(ANF)—John L. Walters, white, looked in the rearview mirror as he drove his car leisurely along Poynton Street and saw a small break spotted. A porcelain colored woman was at the wheel of the puffing truck and two companions sat beside her where space was left. She bumped as the truck struck his car in the rear and the sight of the offending car disappeared from the mirror. Walters stopped his car and approached the truck had collapsed into a heap of oil. She, however, was waddling off up the street at her best speed and her companions were turning a corner at a diary pace. The truck had collapsed into a heap of oil. One slight bump had caused it to fall apart. NEGRO PRESS SERVICE NEW SECRETARY ASSUMES WORK; EVENT PLANNED MRS. V. H.

The banker was received the honor of being the first deputier, although he was not present. A long line of new depositors formed early in the evening, continued until nine in the evening. The Dunbar National Bank is established in the Dunbar Apartments of New York City, colored tenants by Mr. Rockefeller for congestion among poor Negroes. Very few poor Negroes, however, were able to deposit money, because of their nearness and pretence, were quickly gobbled up by the literate and intelligent, who were in considerable elation over the founding of the bank, it amounts, not to a bank, sought, but a white bank which is disposed to hire a larger number of Negro employees than other white residents of the bank, the resident manager of the apartments, is the only Negro on the board of the bank, or major officials of the bank are colored. The bank employees a colored receiving teller, paying teller and guard office in the Negro district of Chicago. SEVERAL INMATES BURNED BY BLAZE; GIRL'S BODY FOUND According to telephonic information received here Thursday morning, fire of an undetermined origin completely destroyed the hospital at Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College early Thursday morning, and also burned up the residence of Dr. J. M. Franklin, resident college physician, which was adjacent to the eleemosynary institution. It is reported that several student-inmates of the hospital were severely injured and seriously burned in the conflagration, with which the college fire department was unable to cope. The body of one girl, Missouri Taylor, was found in the ruins, according to latest report. As soon as news of the disastrous blaze reached Houston early Thursday morning, several local physicians rushed overland to the state school to render first aid to the injured. Among the Houston doctors responding to the appeal for medical assistance were: Dr. H. E. Lee, G. P. A. Forde, R. O. Roett, F. F. Stone, W. M. Drake, C. W. Pemberton and B. J. Covington. This is the second calamitous conflagration to occur at Prairie View within recent years, one of the girls' dormitories having beet razed to the ground by a blaze during the wintry season of a recent session. The frame shack employed as a hospital was a veritable firetrump, and was totally unfit and inadequate for such purpose. One redeeming feature about the unfortunate incident is that work has already begun on a $100,000 hospital, the building having been made possible by an outright gift of this amount from the General Education (Rockefeller) Board of New York City. SMITH BACKERS DENY REPORTS OF REFUTE BLACKS RIOT AT COLORED HOLD BIG JOBS SHOW IN GOTHAM Washington, D. C.—(ANP—The only recognition that Governor Smith has given to Negro Democrats has been in their appointment to jobs of porters, janitors, and charwomes, etc., according to an official statement issued by the Washington office of the Democratic national committees last Sunday. This statement denies emphatically that Governor Smith has been appointed to the Department, or has ever appointed a colored Democrat to a position of trust and responsibility under his administration. "The truth is," the statement reads, "Governor Smith does not have, and never has had, a Negro stenographer, and in the same way as a Negro officer, has the state of New York under his administration this has been done only to fill such jobs as they are given in the South, to wit: porters, janitors, charwomes, etc." This answer of the Democratic national committees is to a charge against the State of New York under his administration, at Foley, Ala., that "Gov. Smith's private stenographer was a Negro wench and that Smith had placed thousands of Negroes on the payroll in New York state." Exceptions were also taken to Negroes riding up and down the eastern shore of Maryland in the州. Alone, the State of New York had said "Al Smith's streamers, Senator Millard Tydings, chairman of the Democratic speakers bureau, says that he is informed that Republicans have hired these colored persons to do this."

DENY REPORTS OF RIOT AT COLORED SHOW IN GOTHAM New York City.—(ANP)—Rumors to the effect that a small sized riot had almost closed the famous "Blackbirds of 1928", Lew Leslie's latest vehicle, were discredited by the manager of the show, Monday, to a representative of the Associated Negro Press here. "There was some little trouble when two drunks got a little noisy, but they were quickly and quietly ejected from the Liberty Theater without annoyance to any of the patrons of the show. This is likely to occur in any house and our theater is not immune. But the statement that Miss Hall or any other colored girl in the show was insulted is absurd. We take every precaution to protect them and they must conform to certain rules before they can remain with any of my show." This statement set at rest anything which had been said formerly. "Blackbirds" is one of the big lots of the season here, playing in crowded houses every performance, growing a business of $28,000 weekly. The music of the show is being heard on every radio program, as well as on the radio program, as well as on the TV. Miss Ward's song, "I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby," being the season's biggest seller, was taken from the middle of the day. The addition of Johnny Hulkine to the cast has added much and his popularity seems to be on the increase. Wilton Crawley, the occultic chariot artist, left the show two weeks ago in Baltimore, Washington, Washington, D.C., and was given a visit to take him through the middle. The show will close in New York sometime during October, making a long run in other cities. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Boston, D.C.

Gilman, chairman of the chapter's disaster relief committee: "Total known dead 400, mostly colored; 18,000 homeless; 8,000 without clothing.

Red Crawfish Cross direction of disaster relief in Florida, moved his headquarters from the Mason Hooker stockade in West Palm Beach, to his beach location. Before leaving Jacksonville, he wired a resume of storm damage in 22 counties, showing that 18 of the storms were caused by so slightly from the storm that no relief work would be necessary. Two relief work beaches suffered greater damage than in the previous hurricanes of 1926, and Broward, suffered great damage. Telegrams from all over the nation from chapters staining collection of money for the relief fund had gotten through the press of the press, the radio, and the clergy.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1928 AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWS PAPER FIFTEEN NATIONS SIGN PEACE PACT That is the most important and the portentous news of the world. And yet, it isn't so: in the first place, there were Ireland, Canada, the United States of Africa, Australia, and the New Zealand. These five so-called countries were there. The contrary nowwithstanding, are not going to declare war on anybody except the United States, and things now stand, economically and politically, among these units of the British Empire. It is not quite true, these countries the importance of the signatures of independent nations. In fact, they would suffice for all of them. It does no harm to have them sign. It does good: it causes them to feel more important and more intended as members of the British Empire. And it helps to, or so, to make that of them that empire. It may, indeed, prevent war, for it may help along the gradual dissolution of empires and the formation of a sort of United States of the World. SERVICE COUNTS The one element characteristic of all successful institutions throughout the ages is SERVICE. One other thing that threatens the peace-producing influence of this country is the presence of Russia, China and Nationalist India, about half of the world’s population. Russia and China will be more inland and less inland than in city—and include Ireland and Australia while excluding India is to disturb the peace of the British Empire, at least. There are also other vast areas of the earth and numerous groups of people who are interested in the "peace." Perhaps they will be considered as "spheres of influence" of the powerful nations which are signifying the great power of the sphere of domination in another possible disturber of the beautifully spoken nations. Then, too, the conflicting attitude and relations of the signatures to the outcast nations, like Rumania, or to the powerful nations, like Russia, may disturb the peace. Or, else these signature nations might agree in their signature nations and people in their signature nations and people in their signature" itself will thereby become a more alliance of the more powerful nations against the presently less powerful half. SERVICE is an asset which is always worth its price, and for which the public is always willing to pay. He who serves himself and no other is a failure, though Death releases his grasp on the ransom of an empire. The only hope, therefore, that this peace of Paris will become a peace of the world is that it must be extended to all nations, and include all nations and all peoples. We are dedicated to SERVICE among the Negroes of Houston Texas, the South and the Republic.

Particularly with girls, there are times when nujo should always be taken. Take a spoonful every night for a few days. It's a thoroughly safe and harmless method. It won't cause distress or gas palms or gripping." Nujol is different from any other substance. It contains no drugs or medicine.

Smith University, in a recent interview with the association of the associated Negro Press. Such a declaration might be pooched, coming from some ambitious educators, but from Dr. McCrecy it is taken as a fact. His accomplishment was the development of Johnson C. Smith College, have won for him and his views a profound respect on the part of North Carolinians and school men throughout the country. That this the following bit of history of the university of which he is the head and the most senior of the youths. Under the founders it pregranted, and built up a reputation Johnson took the reigns of the administration he immediately sent the North Carolina, as he built it and the North Carolina, as he dreamed not to bring it about, set out to interest philanthropists in the work of the institution. The success which he enjoyed in this direction is legendary in this book. Ms. J. Smith has one of the most important was Mrs. John C. Smith of Pittsburgh, who funded the erection of a theological dormitory, a science hall, moderately equipped; a teacher's college made provision for a handmade envelopment for the institution of her husband, the late John C. Smith. She benefaction, the Board of Mission for Freedmen and the board of trust, to change the name of the institution to John C. Smith University. Large Gift From Duke This perhaps is the turning point of the institution. And in 1925 Jas. B. Duke, multimillionaire of Charlotte, N. C., gave to the university as endowment four percent of a trust fund of $34,000,000, created by him for educational institutions, hospitals, and charitable institutions. From this point, from time to time, new buildings have been erected and dedicated at Johnson C. Smith University, the latest of which was one of the best equipped and attractive gymnasiums of which Negro colleges boast. This was also a gift of Mrs. Smith. To date the plans for future development in addition to the medical school, include the erection of an administration building and a chapel. It is not necessary for a visitor to go out to Johnson C. Smith University to see the institution. The present administration building, situated upon one of the highest elevations of the city, is visible from almost every section of the beautiful city but as the approach is made, one of the most attractive and modern plants owned and operated by institutions of our group, is found. Neither is it necessary for you to learn to ascertain the value of the work which is being done by the institute. It is not necessary, every city, as the graduates are found throughout the country and are useful endearment. These graduates are yet carrying out the purpose of the institution, the courses made of students, to will "good scholarship and courteous conduct" are part of them. Farcely Oblieved Realistic physical plant does not make a real university, Dr. McCravey has assembled one of the best schools in the country. Teachers come from the leading institutions of learning in this country and the university is boasted as well as the modern buildings and in the main the conserved their lives to the unbuild- ing and advancement of the Negro educationally in America. Among those who are assisting Dr. McConrey, are: D. H. Alston, A. M. dean of the college department; Dr. York Jones, dean of the school of theology; Dr. F. J. Anderson, professor of philosophy; Dr. P. W. Russell, professor of Greek and Hebrew; J. D. Martin, Ph. D., professor of Latin; Thomas Long, Ph. D., professor of social sciences; Robert L. Douglass, A. M., professor of mathematics; D. F. Woodson, professor of mathematics; Cecil A. Blue, A. M. professor of English; E. L. Rann, A. M., associate professor of English; George W. Brown, A. M., LL.B., professor of English; G. B. M. James, A. M., B. Th., professor of classics; W. H. A. Booker, A. M., professor of French; William J. Knox, A. B., professor of chemistry, and C. Randolph Taylor, professor of physics and director of the athletic department. It is the requirement, apparently of the university that all teachers must keep abreast of the times and to do this each summer many of them attend summer school, thus adding to their knowledge of the subjects they are teaching and the latest methods of teaching. For a number of years the high school department has been connected to the college, making such rapid strides in education, this is no longer necessary. Carolin has taught at the front of the high school course. "This department," said Dr. McCrawley, "has now discontinuing it. We have a new program to add to the A medical school which is so nicely needed in this state, and will be able to open with the coveted rating. Then we are going on to grow until we have a real university." And that is just what is being developed at Charlotte and within a few years, Johnson C. Smith University in fact as in many. FIRST IN REAL NEWS—PAGE FUNER Government Report Shows Negro Seeks "Higher Education" Washington, D. C.—(ANP) The number of institutions for the higher education of the Negro race in the United States more than doubled and enrollments have increased over a quarter of the population according to a report just issued by the Bureau of Education of the Interior Department after a comprehensive survey of Negro universities and colleges. There was 31 Negro institutions offering course work, the report shows, while in 1927 of the 79 institutions included in the survey, 77 were engaged in college work. The number of Negro institutions ten years ago amounted to 2,132 Negro students as compared with 1,380 attending the institutions of higher education. The annual income of the Negro university in the United States was $28,380 per cent. For 1917 it totalled $2,238,000 while for 1927 it totalled $860,000 by 275 cent. The financial support being accorded Negro higher education four times what it was in 1917. Total capital investment in the real properties of the universities and colleges surge has lived in interim times tremendously, the report shows. The institutions 10 years ago was fixed at $33,880,000, representing a gain of 146 per cent, due principally to the construction of modern school buildings. It is $33,880,000, representing a gain of productive endowments, indicating the existence of a growing conviction that Negro higher education must provide the provision of stable income. In 1917, the productive endowments of the universities and colleges up this ratio to $2,255,000 with an annual yield of $381,250. Since then, additions have brought the annual yield being $1,017,300. The gain over the period of ten years in both endowment and annual yield has been approximately 185 per cent. The survey of Negro universities and colleges was conducted at the re-creation of 19 states. 79 Negro institutions, the Association of Colleges of Negro Education, the Fund, and the educational board and foundations of seven church bodies, all of whom cooperated in arranging the re-creation of the 79 institutions was visited by representatives of the bureau. In addition to a presentation, the regret contains individual chapters dealing in unbridged form of plant cells, graduation requirements, admission requirements, enrollments, training of the faculty, salaries, equipment and other functions of each of the institutions. The university includes: 5 in Alabama, 1 in Delaware, 1 in the District of Columbia, 3 in Florida, 9 in Georgia, 2 in Kentucky, 1 in Mississippi, 1 in Missouri, 12 in North Carolina, 1 in Oklahoma, 1 in Ohio, 2 in Pennsylvania, 5 in South Carolina, 1 in Virginia, 4 in Virginia, and 1 in West Virginia. While presenting the exceptional career opportunities or education during the past 10 years, the report also calls attention to the need for more education and higher education. The latest available figures are 48,000 Negro teachers in the United States, including those teaching in colleges. Of this number 10,000 are teachers in institutions of higher education and high schools. Upon the latter rests the responsibility of educating their students of age 19 years, a task far beyond the capacities of such small number. The report points out, is serious. A considerable proportion of the teachers reported as being deficient in proper training. Many have not, received more than elementary school preparation, and have a number of others has been limited to one or two years work in or graduation. The teachers prevail not only in the number of teachers, but also in their quality. They are centred in higher education. If more teachers adequately trained and supervised, the number of educating 5,000,000 Negro boys and girls are to be provided, the tank must be done in the institutions of education. Continuing the report asserts: "The economic salvation of the Negro is dependent to a great degree upon the culture, mechanical arts and crafts. While 1,000,000 Negroes own or operate the race engaged in ordinary farm labor. The lack of training in medicine and the lack of the fact that only $6,000 are able craftsmans as compared with 1,311,000 paring unskilled occupations, all of which have established land-grant colleges offering courses in agriculture, medicine and college members of the race may prepare themselves not only to become teachers in these fields but also to enter into these vacations with all the advantages of superior specialized knowledge. If continued progress is to be made to higher economic levels, the Negro youth of the country must take advantage of these opportunities. “National social and economic life demands the training of a way more Negro professional and technical leaders. This is also a question of higher education. To safeguard the health of the colored people and of their neighbors, to instruct them in hygiene, sanitation, and in the measures necessary to ward off disease, care for those that fall ill, are an essential as intellectual and economic development. There are 2,500 Negro physicians and surgeons in the United States, or approximately one thousand physicians. The White race has a physician to every 555 persons. A serious lack of Negro dentists prevails. There is only one one to every 10,500 Negro inhabitants. In technical lines as even more pronounced shortage of trained men in revealed. There are in the United States only 50 Negro architects, 184 engineers, 165 designers, draftsmen and inventors and 207 chemists. Professional and technical staffs are obtained in institutions of higher learning only. With regard to Negro chrysom the report shown: "Although the number of Negro clergymen serving as partners of churches or preachers of the gungel is approximately 19,000, the training of a large number is extremely limited. Many have not had the benefit of a secondary education and others have never graduated from college, much less obtained the advantage of popular training in schools of theology. The average number of graduates from Negro theological seminaries is less than 10 a year, when the actual demand for qualified Negro ministers is over 100 annually. The responsibility of providing leadership to direct the ethical of the religion, and the spiritual life of the large Negro population is one that rests upon higher education." The survey was made under the in-mediate direction of Dr. Arthur J. Klein chief of the division of Higher education of the Bureau of Education, the committee of the President of Dr. William E. Blind, president of the University of OFEIA, Dr. C. C. McCracken, Ohio State University; Dean George B. Woods, American University; and from the staff of the Bureau of Education, John H.

Near and year of the birth of reporting for school-room duty on the day after Labor Day was too firmly held by Labor Day, marching past the window without wishing to follow them. And so I did, and they led me to the Katherine school, the first day of school, and early in the forenoon. It seemed cruel to inflict a visitor upon a principal at such a time. The principal, in institution, adjusting classes, getting the machinery of the school oiled and the instrument, adjusting classes, getting the teacher my conscience smoke me, but I put it firmly by, and went on in. The principal, Mandele, visited a visitor other than parents. Her welcome was sincere and cordial. The part-time teacher was unhurried, unfurried. I had peeked into a room on the first floor, here first year to ten in the school, a bright-eyed teacher, smacked and cheerful. They were all busy, trying and happiness filled the room. Impossible, thought I, in the first hour and a half of school. "But then, it But Mrs. Bouffard took me to the sixth and the fifth, and the fourth, and on down.

AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER FIRESTONE DEAL WITH LIBERIA IS CALLED UNFAIR (BY FAYRORD LOGAN) Washington, D.C. - CANP]—As very often happens when only part of a officer is shifted in the lecture on the Firestones rubber concession delivered by Dr. Raymond J. Bellu before he was shifted to the town, Massachusetts. Practically all papered cards carried last week news articles about the alleged accusations of Dr. Bellu's alleged accusations of coercion on the part of the state department. He was moved to Hoover, and the denial of a representative of the State Department. In view of the importance given to the firestones, the worth-to direct attention to some other important facts, the perhaps best known to him, Dr. Thomas Jones Heine was supposed to speak on education on Tuesday, August 28, to make a defense of the Firestones concession. It many seemed, it was no report. It was no report. That Dr. Jones wanted to get in his defense before Dr. Bellu could make his defense. Second, two systems of labor as Dr. Buell pointed out, have been common in Africa. The small farm system used in the Gold Coast and Nigeria has permitted natives to own land, raise and sell their own produce, build up many own export trade, and enabled the country to supply the wealth, the plantation system used in South Africa and Kenya has amounted to a virtual return to slavery. Mr. Firestone has adopted the plantation system. Information given out by Mr. Firestone's spokesmen indicates that three hundred thousand natives will be employed in the development of the plantations. The company is reasonable fear that these natives will be subjected to the same policy of repression that has been practiced wherever the plantation system has been adopted in Africa. Third, of the $5,000,000 contracted for the loan made by a corporation organized for this particular purpose by the Firestone interests, only $2,500,000 has been issued and that at a ten percent discount there is important than that is this anounding fact. For perhaps the first time in modern banking a refunding operation is made on more severe terms than the loan to be paid off. A five per cent loan which was to expire in 1952 is being paid for by a seven per cent loan to the partners in 1967. Thus, the new loan is two per cent of the total credit, than the former loan and runs for fifty more years. Worse than that is the obligation on Liberia not to attempt for twenty years any refurbishment of this new loan without Mr. Firestone's presence, even if a group of color capitalist banks have acquired company companies - to make a Watch Tongue For Signs of Illness Your tongue is nothing more delicate and intestine.

CHASE Florence Cole W. prima deima soprano, recognized as the greatest operatic soprano of the race, and one of the great singers of the world, has been a prominent figure on the cities of the Pacific Coast. She made a particularly wonderful appearance at the Carnegie Hall, which was followed by an appearance as great at the cello concert, which is now a special occasion, it is estimated that two thousand persons were present. At the historic Rose Hill, in Pandanade, there were one thousand persons present, and she was given a great ovation. She is looked to begin the regular and winter concert season in Wichita, where she is returning to San Diego, where she is also set for the winter season will be in Los Angeles, from which place she will be in New York and South during the spring of 1992. Everywhere she has appeared, she has commented upon the crick in the Chicago Music News referring to her performance: "Muncie has that great and glorious blessing that is accorded to all of us, and compels our listeners to singers—a truly stirring, magnetic, personality that reaches out to outstaffs and compels her listeners to sing." Her voice is alternately apprehensive, ingratiating, and thrillingly dynamic. Her repertoire includes Negro spirit, as well as her own original compositions.

Our stock is all clean and fresh; beautiful new designs, and Western Colored Boxer Owns Real Estate Holdings Los Angeles, Cal.—(ANP)—Although perhaps through the natural modesty of the boy who has had such a remarkable ring career and is in the Army, Bob Jae Gana has never before been revealed in a newspaper article as one of Los Angeles' largest property owners; it has been disclosed that the company owns a portion of this world's goods than any other colored boxer in the West and surpasses the majority of the whites. Contrary to the general procedure followed by pilgrims of squandering the money of the poor, Bob Jae has "salted down" most of the $100,000 he has earned since stepping out into the public limelight. With the past two years of his business, Bob Jae has "salted down" over $0,000. With the good money he has made in the East added to the many small purse he uses to get at Pasadena, San Diego, the Main Street and other small club his fortune to "Put your money in dirt," the young master tells other fighters whom he hones.

He is greatly impressed by the skills of his wife and can be found at any time playing ball with them in the street. The young master's real name is Gerald Shaughner and the East has an orphanage, and the dizzy white lights do not spot or make him as "Riley" at others of worn Western boxers. North Texas Highs Plan Association; Officers Elected Waco, Texas.—A motion to work in interest of a state-wide athletic association for high schools was adopted Saturday afternoon at the annual meeting of the North Texas conference, which convened at Paul Quinn College. The resolution to sponsor a state-wide organization grew out of a conference last year in Austin, where a number of high school athletic directors met and proposed the Lone Star Athletic Association to govern athletic affairs. Dean Mohr, who was selected as state commissioner of athletics at the Austin conference, acted as chairman of Saturday's parley. Officers elected to head the North Texas conference group for this year were: 1. S. Henry, president; N. H. Pendleton, vice-president; N. S. Holliday, secretary; A. W. Brasier, treasurer and Dean Mohr, executive secretary. The Rio Grande Valley claims the four largest mixed vegetable farms in the United States. Texas has about 460 incorporated cities and towns.

Wright, fresh from a torrid light with Johnny Risko in Omaha a few days ago, was a heavy favorite in the betting to win; but his most rabid supporters agreed that he met his master in the Oklahoma cowboy. The burley "Cat" climbed first through the ropes. The cradle rolled up a volley cheers for him as he stood under the blasting light and smiled his appreciation. But the cheers that greeted him were nothing compared to the volume of sound that rolled back and forth across the big hall as Owens appeared. They walked to the center of the ring and smiled as they shook hands. Neither seemed the least perturbed. With the sounding of the bell, sending the sound on their way, they worked close, standing head to head throwing caution to the wind, and belted away with both hands to head and body. The Omaha battle, weighing well over two hundred pounds, took advantage of his lighter opponent in the clinches, which were all too frequent. In the second round, Wright landed a hard right above Owens's eye which started the claret flowing, but was handieran to the "Cowboy". Owen fought the "Beater" off his feet in the early rounds, winning the pitch and ninth rounds. The third, sixth, and ninth rounds going to his opposing team both bounced frequently. Wright being the more gregarious, Knockdown was scored by Owen when he sent Wright to the carve in the seventh round with a pitch that was thrown round Wright charged blindly, driving the "Cowboy" around the ring. The Old Man, who must have realized that he had reached the end of his puffu, was knocked out and shake hands with his younger opponent, and was hissed and booed from way. Way.

SPECIAL FOR 3 DAYS ONLY CASH — TRADE — TERMS ALL CARS GUARANTEED TO BE JUST AS REQUIRED FAMOUS ALL OVER SOUTH TEXAS College Students Show Increase At Hampton Institute Hampton, Va.—The largest enrollment in the history of the institution marked the opening of the 61st winter session of Hampton Institute. Approximate figures from the registrar's office show a registration of 1040 students, to date. The figures for last year showed 887 men and women taking their prescribed work in the eight schools of the college and in the trade school and academy. Over 600 students are now taking work on the college level, an increase of almost 200 over the number taking similar work last year. This steady growth of the college since its beginning in 1920, with a group of 21 students, has demanded many changes in personnel, equipment and course. In all, 754 students applied for admission to the school for this session, of which 427 were admitted. Re-admissions were 67, of whom 47 were men. N.A.A.C.P. (Continued from Page One) N. A. A. C.

And that is the variety of the work under investigation from defense of men accused of riot, to civil rights cases, from extradition from France, to recalled that the N. A. A. C. P. is not a legal society in the generally public interest only when it is clear that some general principle of interracial relations is plain that injustice is being done on the basis of race or color. So, in a sense, there is not a case fought by the United States in the United States citizenship status in the case of a side form the individual lives and homes it has saved. "One other thing should be remembered to apply to the N. A. A. C. P. are constant and unending. Every effort is made to use our funds to give really effective assistance. But in order to accomplish the end sought, we often have the most expert legal counsel available to us, the amount of money would be too large to meet the often harrowing appeals." "Our record of years of victory, including five epoch-making cases before the United States Supreme Court, with a total expenditure for all our legal work of less than a single supreme court case has cost other agencies, is one in which every member and friend of the association may take pride. The continuance of this record depends entirely on the kind of support the association continues to have. We can continue to establish and to win the Negro's case in the courts of the United States, from the highest to the lowest, if the means are given for the work."

IN SIX—FIRST IN COMPLETENESS Richmond, Va.—(ANP)— Governor Harry F. Byrd believes in "purity of stock" if the marrying of whites and colored persons has anything to do with it. Mary Hall (white) and Matt Wood (colored) were married and were subsequently arrested, charged with a breach of this law (racial integrity). They had been sentenced to two years. Application for pardon in behalf of the woman was made, but Governor Byrd refused to act favorably on the application for pardon of this, the first conviction under the new racial integrity law, his reason for so doing being: “In view of the publicity that has already been given to the application for the pardon of Mary Hall, convicted in the Circuit Court of Amherst County under the law prohibiting the intermarriage of white and colored people, and because this is the first conviction under the new racial integrity law, I announce my conclusion to this application.” "At my request, Frank Bane, counsel of public welfare, made an effort to ensure the reasons advanced for the pardon. It was the opinion of those who asked me that Mott Wood was not did not know at the time of her marriage to Mott Wood that he was colored. It is the judgment of Mr Bane after careful personal investigation, that Mott Wood was colored when she married him and that it was generally understood that Mott Wood lived in neighborhood.

CO., Inc. --- Atlanta, Ga.—(ANP) It has finally been revealed that certain Southeners working in governmental departments during the administration of President Woodrow Wilson, were responsible for the segregation orders themselves. One of these, it was disclosed here this week, was Senator William J. Harris of this state. Senator Harris became director of the census under the Wilson administration, and he discussed with the chief clerk the question of segregation in the department, according to the senator's own statement. “There were a number of these Negro clerks who had always worked with the census department, in the different sections of the census office,” he said. “I issued to the chief clerk an oral order that the segregation be made.” He declared that this order was in compliance with time Mr. Howard, aspiring to the presidential nomination, opened his campaign. Total blame for the eradication of segregation in the Department of Commerce is placed upon the shoulders of Mr. Hoover by Senator Harris, who fought for the same things in France that their white comrades fought for in the United States in peace, or that colored women and white women should work on terms of equality. Hoover learned of this segregation through the complaint of an Ohio editor, he broke up "u" the Southern senator complain. Texas has almost $85,000 telegrams, four times the number in Australia, six times the number in Belgium, 68 times the number in Bulgaria, 125 times the number in France, although France has seven times the population of Texas.

She claims that the conductor was not present in the car and that the company is guilty of improper protection for a passenger. Her bill asserts that while in the act of retiring the porter suddenly went looking in, declaring, "If you want anything, sis, ring. I will be here." She also again and finally to have threatened her. The identity of the porter is not the Pullman Company's answer but it is probable that the company will insist that the porter said: "If you want anything, sis, ring. I will be here." DR. RUPERT O.

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BG GIVEN A SQUARE DEAL AFTERWARDS. NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS - ROSEBEYL. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1928 SMITH ON PARTY RESPONSIBILITY In his transcontinental tour, Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, Democratic presidential nominee, is proving quite a drawing card, and thousands of people are listening to and cheering him wherever he appears or delivers one of his celebrated invective against the Republican party and its presidential standard bearer, Hon. Herbert Hover. In his Oklahoma City address a few nights ago, Governor Smith, by resuming to those religious fanatics and zealots who are opposing the Democratic presidential candidate because of his church connections, projected the religious issue more to the fore and became very tolerant of those who are opposing him because of his liquor and religious views. At Helen, Montana, Governor Smith took the firm position that Mr. Hover and the Republican party are wholly responsible for all the corruption, graft, pillage and fraud charged against certain Republican during the Harding administration. If Governor Smith's position is feasible and tenable (and we are not contending to the contrary), then what about the responsibility of his Democratic party for the injustices, inequalities and double standard citizenship in southern states where the Democratic party holds sway? If a party organization is responsible for any act committed during its administration of national, state, county or municipal affairs, then must we hold the Democratic party responsible for the prologue to their national convention at Houston during last June, when certain heathenish and humish members of the Democratic party staged the first pinching bee in the history of this city? The Informer is not endeavoring to absolve the Republican party and Nominee Hoover from Governor Smith's charges and allegations, but if Mr. Hoover is responsible for the shortcomings of certain Republicans, how can Governor Smith escape or dodge the blame for the damnable and diabolical record of the Democratic party, particularly in the Southern states? We wonder if the Gotham governor, in his denunciation of the Republican party as thieves, robbers and graffers, has forgotten about the unsavvy and unspeakable record of Tammany Hall, his own "dear and precious" political organization which has been a stench in the nostril of decent American people, without regard to partisan affiliations, since the days of Tweed, Croker and others of their ilk and regime. We would like to know what Governor Smith thinks about the rotten conditions obtaining in the South, where his "darling" party has held domination since the Civil War, and where crookedness, graffing and pillage of public funds have been practiced on a basis that is not only unacceptable. What about the graft charges now being made against the Democratic party in New York City, where, it is alleged, millions of dollars have been flipped and squandered by Governor Smith's political associates and partisan comrades—where his bosom friend, "Jimmy" Walker, occupies the mayorality chair? If Governor Smith's contention about party responsibility is direct, then his Democratic party, taken by and large, can not be trusted. He is from the indicting finger at the Republican party; for whenever the kettle jumps on and calls the pot black, the former makes itself both ridiculous and ludicrous. TEXAS REPUBLICANS QUIESCENT With the presidential, senatorial, congressional, state and county elections barely a month off, the Republican leaders in Texas have shown very little interest in the great political contest now engrossing the attention of the American electorate. If Texas were a small state, making possible a whirlwind campaign in three or four weeks, there would be no cause for alarm in the present lethargy and quiescence of these party leaders; but very likely, the state would require considerably more time to effect a vile and insulting an organization in this state than it does in most of the American commonwealths. The anti-Smith Democrats, or rather the Hoover-Democrats seem to be manifesting more interest in the election of Mr. Hoover than in the election of Mr. Trump, and writing this editorial, have done little, if anything, to marshal the forces in this state favorable to the Hoover-Curtis presidential electors, and perfect and maintain the type of party organization so essential to party growth and success. If Texas is to play an important part in the presidential race, it compounded by the Republican leaders attaining a capacity and by depending upon the dissatisfied and disgruntled Democrats. America's Greatest Weekly Rewpaper doing the work which the state G. O. P. leaders should, ought to and must do—that is, if the party wants to make a decent showing in Texas this year. It is nonsense to ask Mr. Hoover and other outstanding Republican leaders to visit Texas and deliver speeches for the national ticket, when the Republican party leaders in the state are doing practically nothing for arousing interest in the campaign, nor in organizing their forces to register a record-breaking and record-making video on Tuesday, November 6, 1928. If any desire to note person to take interest in his proposition and cause, the former must first show the proper concern and interest in his own venture or undertaking, before he can sincerely expect the other man to become interested in his proposition. With some expenditure of energy and money, the Republican leaders of Texas can corral approximately 100,000 to 150,000 votes for the Hoover-Curtis ticket, if these state party leaders will become amenable to sane and sound advice for one time during their partisan careers. Practically every state in the union has organized its forces and pitched its campaign in the presidential race, while the Republican party leaders in Texas seem to be engaged in the Al-phone-Gaston act. Whether these Republican state leaders know it or not, the fact remains that every day which fails to note or record some organized movement effected in this direction, means the loss of votes for the Hoover-Curtis ticket; for people do not like to, neither will they follow men nor parties that fail to make a decent showing. By KELLY Ne Negro voters are voting against tax rate pro South, East and West in numerous and as his Republican op to my personal of the information throughout the approaches to all the only declare of a slated than the Grand Old Party competent staff of The who are at There is but one this restlessness which the Republican willing to apply. Grand O&E Party teeth and fifteen The Republican party leaders of Texas have been yelling themselves hoarse about building up a strong party and getting out a candidate. The Republican party is a strong party in the history of the party in this state, these party leaders, for some reasons, do not seem the least concerned in trying to so coordinate and organize their forces as to poll a tremendous vote for their presidential ticket in the November general election. LAYMEN LOSING INTEREST IN CHURCH Whether we care to admit it or not, it is becoming more apparent every day that the laymen of our race, particularly in this state, are losing interest in church life and denominational activities to a degree that is appalling, and which bids ill for the future well-being, expansion and perpetuity of many of our churches, and connectional causes. If it were not for the women and children, some of our churches would hardly have a corporal's guard at any service, and many of our pastors would be forced to deliver their usual Sunday discourses to well-night empty pews. In fact, we have made observations in various sections of Texas and have noticed that Negroes are not attending church services as in former years, neither are they giving to the "cause" in the same manner which characterized their contributions in yester-years. Some charge that the educated Negro feels himself better than and above the church; that he holds to the view that the minister is unable to preach to him, and that our mode of worship does not come up to his conception of an intelligent and true worship of God. Others contend that many of our present-day institutions of learning are educating the colored youths away from church and God; that they are becoming more agnostic and skeptical about the teachings of the Holy Writ. The Informer believes that many of our laymen are losing or have lost interest in church life and denominational activities due to the divisive propensities of religious leaders, unprepared leadership, the poor showing made with the monies collected for certain "causes" (with the "causes" seldom receiving much of said money) and the over-emphasis placed upon carnal rather than spiritual things and values. Few of our ministers have really sensed the spirit of their day and generation, and many of them (sad to relate!) have been outstripped by their constituents in many directions, and the inevitable reaction has set in. Instead of running away from the church because certain things do not work up to their purpose, denominated laymen should face the issues as they "stay in there and fight" for what they believe to be right. If our trained and educated laymen would become more active in church life and denominational affairs, it is our opinion that the race's religious life would be considerably enhanced, and the power and lightness and evil would be overcome by the forces of right and light. THOUGHTS, ACTIONS AND RESULTS Before there can be any well-defined and intelligent action the course of procedure must have been thought out; and where there is action without any previous thought on the subject, little, if any results can be obtained. This is an age of thought, actions and results, and the man or race that attempts to put over a program without first thinking and planning it out, will suffer many reverses and ultimately meet with dismal failure. Before a man is capable of thinking, he must be trained or educated to the point where his brains can really function and not merely occupy space in his cranium. The men, races and nations who think, plan and work are the ones who move forward and lead and direct the procession; while the men, races and nations who act without thought and who neither plan nor labor intelligently, must content themselves with a back seat in the great arena of life. As thousands of young people are now entering the various institutions of learning throughout the country, the place is vast and sensual development and training of their heads (mind), as well as their hearts and hands; for there is a vast difference between book learning and genuine education. Book learning is merely the shadow, while education is the substance, and too many of our youths seem to be grabbing at the shadow and missing and disregarding the substance. Racially speaking, we do not employ enough thought in planning and mapping out our programs, underkings and ventures, and entirely too many unprepared or lily-trained men (generally white men) to be able to undertake the territories to an untimely and premature death—not because they are dishonest and crooked, but due to the fact that very little, if any, thought precedes their actions, and consequently the race can and should care for only meagre results, if the Negro race will think more, plan more and work more, the black man's status in this country will be materially improved, and, instead of simply marking time or imitating others in their superficials, our group will be able to make substantial changes and really get somewhere in the bivouac of human endeavor.

THE MIRROR (Continued From Page One) bank will be to the Rockefeller interests, the fact must not be overlooked because it is a great opportunity to learn banking both from a theoretical and practical angle; for the bank is the one that really know the banking business. If the colored motor bolts the Republican party whither will he go? The Democratic rival certainly does not offer anything better; and in some respects the prospect is decidedly worse. Shall the Negro, then, remain forever in the Republican party and allow himself to be reduced to a political nullity by his own acquiescence? Shall he espouse the Democratic cause with all of its past record of political unfriendliness? Or shall he, acting independently, support this or that party, either or neither, according to the dictates of the racial interest and welfare? Some weeks ago an editorial appeared in The Informer, under the caption, "A New Type of Philanthropy," wherein attention was cited to the apartments being erected in Chicago by the Julius Rosenwald interest for Negro occupancy, and the Dunbar Apartments recently thrown open to Gotham Ngroes by the Rockefeller interests. Its funny how er thing lack dat'll wate twell it noes dat awl de drug stoc's is shut up, an awl de good dockters is ded ersleep ter 'gin naw in at yo vituls. But dey'll do it ever time. So twux way long bout 2 er-kjock in de mornin ween I had ter call in de rezurves ter hope me ter rout dat lil pinny's wu'th uv permiter cheese outen my belly.

Now we have another example of practice, philanthropy, in the open space of the campus. Rockefeller interests, where Negroes self-improvement and self-salience, rather than the begging and crying group in all sections of the country There are at least two million qualified or qualifiable Negro voters in the North and in the South. Herein lies a latent power of incalculable potentiality. How can this potentiality be transferred into the energy? Certainly not by massively following the fortune of the Republican party which is gradually reducing the race to a political cyber. Certainly not by falling uninvited into the arm of the Democratic party before it has been passed into the great estates. Where then is political wisdom to be found? To me the answer is plain and simple. Let the Negrg voter support sound moral principles, on whichever side of the political line they may fall, to support John Davis in the last election because he openly declared his opposition to the Ku Klux Klan, and stated with convincing candor that, elected, he would do the best of his ability to enforce the constitution of the United States. It is said that the United States has the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, he anawarded in the emphatic affirmative. Mr. Coolidge on the other hand was silent on the Ku Klux Klan and inarticulate and inert on the human rights amendments to the election. It did better than Mr. Davis could be elected, but that did not affect the principles upon which he stood. The orthodox, patented, stamped and standardized Negro politicians, then as now, shouted until they were hoarse: "Long live! The民主党 is the Republican party." The carried the day. Verily, verily, they have their reward. It angers a new day for the Negro contingent and America, who will preserve enterprises to help an unfortunate race get an even break in the battle of life. These impressible Texans, whether at home or abroad, are always doing the state on the map; and where residents of other sections of the country cowboys and skierboys men, during recent years such preconceived notions have undergone a complete metamorphosis. Yu see, Lee, ever big man lack me allus keeps his oan tickler ferzishun ter look atter his heith. Well, I has 3 dat I holes in rediness ter cum ter my reskue in de time er stress. Yo see, I has Dockter Roett fer ter look atter my hart; Dockter Patten ter keep my stummlck hittin on awl 6 an my cuzzin, Doctor Shadowens ter keep my blud rich an red, an see dat it doan git 2 mutch preshure hine it. Texas point with pride to many distinguished sons and daughters of the Lone Star State, who are hold the various fields of human endeavor. But on dis tickler mornin dat I wuz tawkin bout I kinder got my dockters mixed up an stid er sindin er call out fer my stummick dockter, I sint fer my hart spesherlist. But I foun out dat he node jis whut ter do an los no time in gitting bizzy. Now a former Texan, Prof. Aaron Woolf, has been named the defender, has the unique distinction of being the first Negro to compose a team with a complete score for defense, with complete score for offense. But yu no, Lee dockers is funny things. Dui dockers Dooit he got it in everything.

Recently Prof. Harrison submitted a "Song of Praise" to the Philharmonic "Saint Paul's Fancy," to the Philharmonic symphony Orchestra, and he re-organized the orchestra white orchestra leader: "We shall be pleased to have the orchestra play will permit you to conduct the rehearsal." In the present campaign, I can see but one essential principle that distinguishes the candidates—and that is the principle of prohibition. While I regret to say that Mr. Bush is not unquestionably committed to the principle of prohibition, yet the Democratic adversary stands for its importance. Mr. Smith believes that the noble experiment should be carried out constructively. Mr. Smith thinks that the ex-convict should be frustured without further trial. The Negro can justly be held accountable for his constitution, law, order and temperance. A vote for Smith counts in the contrary direction. The he can do that. He must never, however, party to understand that because he is voting the ticket he is inable to the outrageous treatment received by him. "Spiritual Fantasie," contains 12 Negro spirituals, so arranged harmonically and contrapuntally as to obey the African tradition and to treat. One movement is to contain a double canon in double counterpoint. The first time a member of the Negro race has been accorded such an honor by one of the leading musical organizations of the country, the Negro cultural ability of this Texan prodigy. After he gin tryin ter mak me heeve, he wint in his lil han grip an tuck out what I sided wuz er inner tube, an heers whare me an him had it ergin.

But I foun out dat what he had wuzent inner tube but wuz er kinder kuntrapshun dat woun roun an roun my ahm an den shot it full er air, an den he ups an ses, "Cimbee, yo's blud preshure is normal."

Prof. Harrison was born in Texas, where he first studied music; later he studied law in Houston, D. C., and Philadelphia, where he understudied under Prof. William S. Harris, composer of music, Mr. Harrison's university of music, University of Pennsylvania, where he majored in harmony and counterpoint. He then directed his work at the University of Bridgley Love" for a number of years, where he instructed students, harmony, composition. The colored press has commented widely upon my open letter to Mr. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks, in which I urged that the movement of political revolt which he headed should vote for Hoover on the temperance issue, but hold the party's feet to the fire for its past and present transgressions. Some said that I argued for Smith and concluded for Hoover; others that I was carrying water on both shoulders—a rather delicate compliment to the performer's steadiness and poise. This I apprehend is far preferable to the attempt to carry water on one shoulder and beer on the other as the wet Negro Republican are essaying to do. Still others mistook open mindedness for double mindedness. The old line politician never did comprehend the moral significance of the utterance of the Christ. This applies only to the sharply contrasted issues of right and wrong, truth and error, righteousness and sin. Neither the Democrats or the Republicans are all right or all wrong on great public questions. There is a strange and confusing mixture of vices and virtues in both camps. The Kansas Republicans are dry, the New York Republicans are He is also director of the Harrison Musical Studios, instructors, composers and publishers, 622. 53 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
