GAME HERE GLOBE PUT IT OVER Houston is honored during the holiday season by the presence of Ferd J. Calvin, special feature editor of the Pittsburgh, Pa., Courier, one of the leading newspapers of our group, of which him. Robert I. Vann is editor and publisher. He will be recalled; was in Houston during the Pythian grand lodge last June, and his publication carried several articles from his pen regarding NEGRO achievement and activity in this city. He is the new Dodge agent, the Eastern journalist, who resides in New York City is making an overt effort to promote the making, observations of race progress and interracial amity. He is the Montgomery Birmingham, Oceain, New Orleans and other cities in the Southern sections, and he plans to visit the South and Texas cities before returning to the Texas metro area.

We are glad to have Mr. Calvin visit us again during the Yuleide season, and here's hop-up for him and his paper long life and abundant success. Next Tuesday, January 1, 1929 (New Year's Day), the football team representing Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga., and Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College will meet in a past-year international match here at West End Park. This is the third intersectional game ever played in Texas between teams east of the Mississippi and Texas colleges; the first game having been played in Marshall some years ago by Talladega and Wiley, which ended in a draw. A few years ago the Paul Quinn Tigers held the mighty Tamarah Tigers to a 0-0 score at Waco, and really outplayed the Alabama eridsters. If Prairie View upholds the reputation of Texas, the Georgia Hurricanes, who boasted of one of the best teams in the Southeast, will find stiff and determined opposition in the Panthers here next Tuesday. The game has been advertised extensively, and football fans from all the states have beenDelta-like here to witness this gridiron, classic. Several excursions will be run into the city, while the railroads are granting extremely low rates for the round trip. Numerous social events have been planned for New Year's Day. Yet all the visitors, and this will will be a fine summer's mission to display her wonted hospitality. The game is being sponsored by the athletic association of Prairie View, with Dr. E. B. Evans as manager, and since it is quite a hazardous undertaking from a financial standpoint, we want to urge all Texas, who can make it convenient to be present in the park, be in Houston near Tuesday and help make the game a financial success. Houstonians of both races, whether football fans or not, should attend the event. The event will be such an interpersonal context in this city means much for the community—more than can be measured in more dollars and cents.

METHODISTS HONOR BUTLER WITH HIGH POST METHODISTS HONOR BUTLER WITH HIGH POST Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—The Rev. Frederick H. Butler, formerly pastor of Zion M. E. Church, Philadelphia, and now secretary of the Epworth League and Young Peoples' Work for our group in the Methodist Episcopal Church, has been chosen a member of the curriculum committee of the Board of Education of his church. This important assignment has come because of the splendid success in the development of young peoples' work that Dr. Butler has had during the past eight years. The curriculum committee is one of the most important committees in the organization of Methodism and has a do with the outlining and approval of the courses of study for all the age groups in the Sunday school and Epworth League organization, as well as their weekly and monthly publications. These church school publications are not only used by the Methodist Episcal Church but several other denominations. In the reorganization of the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which has recently taken place, two divisions have been made: one, the division of educational institutions; and the other, the division of religious education. In the division of religious education, Dr. Butler has been chosen secretary of the Epworth JAMES B. GRIGSBY, president of the American Mutual Benefit Association, spread in his usual role this year in distributing clothing and food to the society-colored children and families of the community, through the Christmas Cheer Club and the annual donation from the Houston city council for this purpose.

FIRST SECTION—NUMBER 32 Memphis Leader Battling Political Enemies In State Memphis, Tenn.—(ANP)—The political eyes of Tennessee are focused on the appointment of the postmaster at Memphis, because those in the know declare that this will determine whether Robert R. Church will remain in power or the illy-wing of the Republican party will assume the leadership. Ed V. Sheely, the present postmaster, is being supported by Robert R. Church and opposed by the illy-whites, who are basing their opposition on the statement issued by Sheely when he received the temporary appointment, that "I am deeply obligated to J. Will Taylor and R. R. Church, to whom I owe my appointment." Dublin Says Negro CHURCH WORKER Death Rate Still AIDS HELPLESS Exceeds Nordics RACE CHILDREN At the time of his appointment by President Coolidge, he was opposed by the lily-white on account of his friendship with Church and Tayler, and after a bitter battle, the Church winger won the victory, and he joined the Postmaster-General New favors the appointment of Sheely, having termed him as one of the employees in the employ of the department, and also in favor of Sheely and it is believed that he will appoint him again, that if the appointment is worthless The lily-white are of the opinion that if the appointment is postponed until President-elect Herbert Howe Washington D. C.—(ANF)—The general death rate of the Negro is still about two-thirds greater than that of the whites," declared Loals L. Dublin, statisticalist of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, speaking before the National Interracial Conference here last Monday. That the Negro is rapidly improving his health status so that the old bogey that the Negro is dying out should be discounted, is proven by facts and statistics now available. Dublin pointed out, saying: “The colored people have made very remarkable progress along health lines in the last thirty years,” declared Dublin. “The lower death rates and the longer life span have disproved the old notions which condemned the American Negro to ultimate extinction because of income and life into which the black people had been left into. The race has shown, in many ways, great ability to profit from every improvement of environment. This does not mean that the future progress of the race is ever more likely to be achieved than it is currently one. The fight is now far from a hopeless one. The Negro has learned how to adapt himself to American life. Further improvement in the standard of living and the spread of education among them will, I am confident, result in bringing their death rates and life span to a higher level. The great mass of our population is a similar economic status. The excess of Negro deaths over whites is largely due to the fact that the black people are not always and is due to causes which we understand and which, fortunately, lend themselves to control. The prevalence of tuberculosis among Negroes is a major problem. It is said that leading cause of death among them and its prevalence is three times as great as among whites. On the other hand, tuberculosis is rapidly declining all along the line. The same is true in the black people. The disease is also a major problem and sulfensia, malaria, typhoid fever and pellagra. FORMER WHARTON PLANTER EXPIRES; RITES HELD HERE the funeral of Thomas Taylor, who died Sunday, December 28, was held on St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Edward W. Whidbeyin School, Tacoma, Washington.

C.—(ANP) Authorities here are beginning now to plan for the taking of the next decennial census. The enumeration will feature distribution, mining irrigation, and drainage. Work for this census will begin partially in November, 1929, due to a provocation in the last senate bill which called for the taking of the decennial census. The fall, a more convenient time than May, the time formerly used. The census will be served the conduct of the 1929 census. The feeling is widespread that the census宽度 determined from Georgia, Walter P. George, was incorrectly taken. The census enumeration did not call in their homes during 1929. In 1928 unmarried colored enumeration was completed the day before the census. It is hoped, leaders say, that under a Republican administration a similar condition may occur in 1930. It is important these leaders good out, that the Negro be given proper credit. For actual population, development in death rate, wealth, and his business institutions. Gomaha, Nehr.—(ANP)—After submitting to a three-week reign of force, as a result of the spal-ized violence, the police this city have been relieved of the one-ided surveillance of their activities on the part of the police department, the police department, the territories for a counter offensive against the government and certain interrelated purposes. It is their theory that the colored man now being held in custody at a police station was not guilty, and that he is being made a scapegoat by some other parties prefer to see him put out of the way. The fact has been emphasized that Bryd not fit in any particular category, the white woman whose husband was killed when she was attacked, gave a savior assistant to the ar- But, although Mr. Stribling's original description of her assailant does not mention her being a woman, she seems have seen to indicate that she not only knew Byrd, but that her resemblance has been beyond replay on someone for some time. Report has it that Mr. Stribling's conduct may not have always been beyond replay on someone. At Omaha University are said to have taken the case under consideration and the woman was the guilty man, he must have been the woman's secret lover and thus the guilty man, he must have been on her alleged statement, "Now, Jake, you know you did it. After spending time with her, you assumed that I know you are the man." Much resentment is felt here against the police department. The police are from out of the ranks and are run from out of the ranks and is proportionate to lose his sense of proportions in big enceropes, some of those who are in the police force, not be surprised if some of the police have not become a party to a scheme which is thought to involve Byrd and the police. According to a story that is being told, two rich white boys, one from Chicago, and one from Cleveland, went hobong last summer for a thrill. On their trip they are said to have run into Byrd, who was experienced the greater, and the rest of the stock together, Byrd teaching the white boys how to get by. Just outside of Omaha, the three of them ran into a Burdington detective who is said to have beaten one of the white boys, who did not know enough to get out of the way, until he fell between the cars and a killed. Of course, the boy's family is suing the railroad. Byrd is the only witness. The friends and family of the slain boy are said to have given Byrd ten dollars a day to stay in Omaha to serve as a witness at the trial. Mrs. Strowing is reported to have received a paid employment railroad people, this money being responsible for her positive identification of Byrd. Very little is known definitely, but it is generally felt that a searching investigation of all the facts and angles of the case might disclose a conspiracy between the cases of off-road and on-road investigations of the railroad, and Mrs. Stribling, to get rid of Byrd in order to weaken the suit for damages in the case of the white boy who was slain. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has taken a hand in the case and is expected to go to the bottom of the various reports and rumors that are being handed around. SPINGARN IS LIFE MEMBER N.A.A.C.P. New York—J. E. Spingar, donor of the famous Spingar Medal, and donor of the award for the Advancement of Colored People, has become a life member of the generous contribution to the Mr. Spingar check for $500. He has been a consistent, generous contributor to the firm. Mr. Spingar has been an officer of the association since its beginning, and has been a member of the rights of the Negro in America. Having served on the general commissioning of the citation's affairs, Mr. Spingar in 1913 became chairman of the board of directors, an office which he holds at the present time. Mr. Spingar Medal, presented annually with appropriate and impressive ceremonies, in the fourteen years since it was instituted, has perhaps been the most generous to call the attention of the civilized world to the creative achievements in the Negro groe. The award and presentation of the medal have become events reported and commented upon throughout the world. Dr. O. L.

C.—(ANP) The spot-light of scientific research was turned upon the various ramifications of the race problem here Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday when welfare officials from the national country gathered here to attend the National Interracial Conference. The real meetings, at which the problems were discussed with frankness and candor by white and colored officers, were held in doors, with the press barred. So completely was the fourth session kept open that the "list" fails to disclose one member of the press. According to reports that leaked out the closed conference, the following facts were known: That the Negro is not more orimal than other races. That the Negro's life expectancy is increasing. That Negroes are poorly educated The Southern states That trade unions oppose Nagro's progress in skilled trades. The marginalization of segregation prevailed in North Carolina. That the voteless class is a menace to the race. That the races are welded by mutual needs. These revelations resulted from close study of the problems and concerns of the community and were thoroughly into the subject. Ways and means of remedying the problems and handicaps to ameliorate relations and a program, growing out of these discussions is expected to be carried out. The principal meetings were held in the auditorium of the Department of Interior and the evening meetings, with the public held at the Howard University medical building, with the following national associations: Friends Service Committee, Interracial Association; American Society of Interracial Association; Commission on Interracial Association; Women's Council of Women for Home Mission; Federal Council of Churches, Commission on Interracial Association; Home Mission Reconciliation; Home Mission Councils; the Inquiry; National Association of Colored People; National Broward Y.

Not the police, not the army, nor the coastline, but greater impunity than they do whites.* Conviction figures are used? Courts have been unfortunately found to discriminate against Negroes, and such discrimination is clearly reflected in the statistics. On statistics, they are of little value as a measure of comparative criminality, but half a chance to get suspended sentences, or to be placed on probation, and are frequently in the bargain, not only in fines, but left imprisonment.

The degree of Christian generosity is the grace of God. God's gifts are reckoned by the degree of willingness. Paul, knowing that false teachers would know in the church at Ephesus, called the elder the church together that he would be difficult. The ground of the charge he gave them was that the church has been purchased with the blood Lesson for November 4. The believer in Christ is a citizen as well as a Christian to the state as a citizen. **Lesson for November 11.** The believer in the world but not of the world is in the world but not of the world, which is absolute God which is absolute decoration to Him, a relationship to his fellow-believer which is genuine love, and a relationship to good do for evil, live honestly before them and be at peace with them. **Lesson for November 18.** In order to be a believer in the power and the dew of the Jewen, when Paul went to Jerusalem he took a Jewish row. **Lesson for November 25.** Paul's power and power and efficiency of his ministry. **Lesson for December 2.** Though Paul was brought before powerful men, he was not against the charges, but used the opportunity to witness to them of Jesus Christ, making a personal appeal to see the Romans to see the Romans was now about to be realised. After a stormy voyage he was met by the brethren in the city. Though in the city, though in the capital and treated with lenency, he remained under the guard of a widower, and preached the gospel to the saints. Lemon for December 18. Paul and many real friends. This reveals his love for his friends. He must not pray for his friends. He must only pray for his friends. He must introduce them on business brands. He also wrote letters to his friends. One of the most tender and affectionate letters he wrote to that of Paul to Philemon, a model of tactfulness and the first antidavant petition for December 23. As Paul came to the end of his life he presented the true view which a Christian should have. He presents it under two metaphors—one an offering, and the other a departure. He not only had the right to be a friend, but hewarded upon his life with the consciousness of having finished his work and an eternal fellowship with God. The Believer The believer in the Bible at the street. If he can be revealed that he has a gift, he can be given more than any preaching. For it教会 men, not from a distant put, but from the seeds of their every day, where they are often difficult and hard to understand, who is relegated; he is meant to be a man who moves rebling. God meant him to be the spiritual alchemist, the master of metals into gold. G-B. M. Morrison.

BANKS Prairie View, Texas—Announcement has just been received here that Principal W. R.

He received his fundamental training in the technique of research under that perplexing schoolmaster to the Negro. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, who organized and directed the training in 1900. The wealth of information which our educator will undoubtedly receive will serve greatly in improving the quality of education in Texas. Principal Banks has been in Washington, D.

CLEPAGE, 1188 Green Bay Ave. FIRST IN REAL NEWS—PAGE THREE Fisk University Gets $400,000 Donation For College Library Something New In Philanthropy By KELI.V MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C. Nashville, Tenn.—One of the finest library buildings in the country will begin to go up on the Fisk University campus next spring because of the work of the General Education Board. The grant was made for building and its endowment and the division for the two purposes will be in about equal proportions. The most unusual feature of the gift is that it is made outright with no requirement that Fisk University be involved. The library is designed by Henry C. Hilbs, Nashville architect. It will be of modified collegiate Gothic architecture, done in red face brick with Indiana limestone trim. The layout of the library will be very modern convenience known to library construction, for only after the librarians of the country were finally adopted. The Gothic building is beautiful but of practical design of the book stacks will be in the tower and will be delivered to the main loan offices. There will also be a number of chutes. There will also be a number The Inter-Racial Conference, whose membership was more or less evenly distributed between white and colored, male and female, old and young, and African-American and white Washington during the first four days of the week just past. The agenda was to engage the betterment and welfare of the Negro race. The white delegates, the African-American delegates, the South white and delivered with their colored collaborators and collaborators on terms, easy equality and pleasant interaction. Ian let down their hard and fast-accurate demands and received sponsored accommodation in unaccented places. But this does not necessarily repre- sentate the racial localization. The service cloze up as soon as the thin blade of the cloze was in contact are interesting but not indicative. The deliberations of the conference were based upon scientific research and the direction of Professor Charles H. Johnson, the unrivaled research scientist at the university room for ineliverable eloquence or oratorical pterocrites. There has never been such an effort gathering such an array of definitely ascertained scientific social material. The conference was organized by the institution of the conference is due to Dr. George E. Haynes in charge of the conference. The canon Federation of Churches. The guiding genius of the program and the leadership of the Van Kriek of the Russell Sage Foundation. These easily constituted the foundation of this conference. The prince of philanthropy in this field, graced the conference by his presence and participation in this conference a distinctive place among previous attempts in the same field. The whole movement was dictated and controlled by the great philanthropist millions of wealth. It was but one form of expression of the mobilization of wealth in behalf of social 2. For the first time adequate means and scientific efficiency were available to address the policy of dealing with, if not solving, the race problem. Needless waste and friction was sought to be eliminated in the field. The folly of the older order of philanthropy based upon religious jesuslity will not be rival and competitive denominations planted five institutions of higher learning in the city of AT-4, and neither the resources nor the clientele for a first rate college. The merger and the syndicate idea proponents were as well as in the business world. 3. The conference was inter-social in name and constituency rather than in purpose and motive. The two races did not select representatives to negotiate relations on ambassadorial principles. But carefully selected individuals on both sides are put forward by the most foundation to provide they have a policy to purpose which they have in view. The white delegates did not typify the normal feeling and attitude of the white race which is one of studied indifference or disguised unfriendliness. On the other hand the Negro representatives were chosen without the knowledge or consent of the vast constituency which they represented. Carefully and skillfully picked individuals of both races under the ownership of wealthy corporations were called into conference by reason of their well known attitudes towards the Negro and his well being. 4. The agenda was skillfully and artistically drawn no as to include mainly those topics upon which all right thinking people must agree without conflict or confusion of opinion. Such questions as health, education, amusements, reduction of crime and industry, provoke no animality to violence. The agenda and video basic issues of racial integrity amalgamation, political ethics and social quality were ignored or put under the power of cles for secluded study. The library will be 100 feet long, with a 10-foot wide entrance. The lower entrance will to a basement containing a receiving room, recessed with a large book server. book stacks. The first story will contain library offices, a large library room, a large library room, cost rooms, the library catalogues and a modern catalogue room. The library will be a feature of the building will be the second floor. Section room on the second floor. Sections on the branches of Negro art will be provided in music room and seminars for students and faculty doing advanced work. Contact with a large number of books. The library most nearly like the proposed Fisk library in the new one is at Yale, Princeton, Los Angeles and Tulsa. It will face east on the part of the campus that forms a quadrilateral building in the proposed new academic group. The credit for the securing of this gift should go to Presley Thomas Elsa Jones, who crystalized the General Education Bord in Fisk. and accepted taboo. The whole fabric was based upon the maintenance of the established difference and distinctions of race. Dr. W. E. B. Dulbola, a professor of medicine at flat-footed equality, gave the conference its rudest shock. 5. There were no Negro delegates representing distinctively Negro or African-American denominations, the press, the fraternal organizations which keep the African-American community thought were conspicuous by their inconspicuousness. It was taken for granted that the Negro community under his own steam or speak through his own voice. As he does not know what they think he ought to have. Of the intelligence well disposed whites must give him what they think he ought to have. Of the intelligence is desired to facilitate the program. All purely Negro movement, the Equal Rights League and the Negro Sandhair spring up and down as a sustaining nourishment. This was a conference to health white founders, sustaining nourishment. The ideal of the Negro Sandhair—a council of Negroes, for the salvation of the philanthropist with that of the old philanthropy with that of the old civil War. The one was made on religion, the other on science; the former was founded on sacrifice, the latter was founded on faith. The older order called for concession of self, the newer dispersion and social bent; the philanthropy which founded Howard, Atlanta and New York; the corollary which flowed from the love of God, the present day charity association proposition. Just how far the human benevolence and benefaction will carry, the gravely experimental venture. Failure had no part in this conference, for heavenly guidance was heard throughout its deliberations. clignon now is the time for all young The conference die for prudence to prevent a mental attack on the strength of race prejudice but been unwilling which it possessed no power to affect in its essential perseverality and social engineering. It turned to tunes and vent the obstacle which it had not the power to overcome. Seek Nomination For Walker Award New York CRP (ANP) - James Welden Johann, secretary of the N. A. A. C.

That which landed among the stones, the thorns and in the barren places, perished. Only the seeds which reached the good ground had a chance to grow. The modern advertiser does not strew his seed of salesmanship to the winds. He plants it carefully in the "good ground"—in the places where because of favorable conditions it has a chance to bear a harvest of consumer results. He uses newspaper advertising because through the newspapers he covers completely the markets which he knows, upon careful investigation, to be right places for his product to flourish.

To be perfect frank and candid the Golden Eagles had nothing but Lady Luck and possibly a prayer, and it was their proverbial kick which kept the Lions in one quarter did the Eagles flash a fire of lover's love, the poorest exhibition ever made by one of Lockett's teams, the Washington griders resounding reckonings of 25 or 30 years; while the Lions were exhibiting the latest in gridiron Eagles' Line Easy for Lions Though the first to register a touchdown in the second quarter, and which was dealt of ppg and fight, the Eagles' primary wall of defense could stop the long defensive chance of the long pass, and placed the pigskin where the Yates gridmen finally carried the ball over the extra point after touchdown, failed even though Coach Holland of Yates had the Lions secured the uprights in their try. However, his contention was disallowed, for the ball really came off. The Lions outweighed the Eagles and their beetle line stopped practically before they could be by the Eagles who continued to plunge into that might have been repeated by the Eagles backfield star and repeated in confusion, and when it appeared that the touchdown was imminent, the Eagles backfield star or paused before being permitted to carry the ball ove that the quarterback had to call time before the final attempt to score the touchdown. There was not the smoothness of the Eagles as was demonstrated by the Lions, who were playing inspired by their alma mater, Coach Holland and their alma mater. Spectators Crowd Playing Field In the last few minutes of the game, when the situation became exciting, the team's grandstand and rushed upon the side of the field, where the opposing team loved by a larger number of blacks was. 1921 This is a recent picture of the football squad and coaching staff of Prairie View State University and Industrial College, showing the Panther aggregation which will meet Atlanta United in the playing field. Play was stopped and some of the 'over-zeolons' drivers driven back, but the playing field was never cleared of the crowd and the players were trained in the coach, captain or referee would have refused to continue the game in the field. The players were cleared, bottled teams resumed the fray and when the Lions lost the ball on the touchdown and the wall went over to Washington, an Eagle with the ball before he could recover a fumble and the Lions had scored two additional touchdowns and the wall won the annual battle 8-6. This was the third game played before the 2020 and 1927 games and it then the first time a winner had emerged from the Christmas Day tilt in the 2020 and 1927 games. Policemen Fail to Function With several police officers of both races on the scene, there is absolutely no excuse for such crowding on the playing field, and while the Eagles can not ascribe the loss of the game to this situation, per se, the fact remains that these people, both white and black, should have been driven back into the stands. Their presence on the field was really a disgraceful episode, and if the game is played another year, steps should be taken to avert a repetition of Tuesday's stunt. Another thing: There was entirely too much argument over the decisions of the referee, and while the officiating was not up to the standard, our local coaches should not be so quick to rush on the field and attempt to bluff and browbeat an official. Sooner or later they will rush and run into the wrong official, and "it'll be just too bad."

Grosley, president of the Delaware College for Negroes pointed out the hindrances to President Grosley, who has done much research work in this particular field, due to the fact that this is one of the foremost problems discussed at the National Association of Teachers in the United States, the moving force, cited as some of the hindrances, the lack of funds appropriate, the states, inadequate salaries paid teachers, the paucity of adequate physical and short school terms in many of the states. Epitomizing his findings, President Grossley declared: "One can not scam the official reports on public education without noting a disparity of interest and support for the education of Negro pupils, that is not only unfortunate but unwarranted and unlikely. In spite of this punishing competition, the study has signed The Rosenwald Schools that dot the hills and planes throughout the South, the beneficent assistance of the Jeanes Fund, the generous philanthropy of Pierre S. DuPont, the General Education Board are chief among the agencies that came to our relief. Today's plans of the states themselves are leading the development of high-drards for Negro education. The rising tide of students in all sections and grades is compelling attention and support both locally and nationally. "Whatever may be the final results of our questioning and striving and whatever may be determined as the ultimate objective of our schools, I am persuaded that if there is to be a度的 program and policy, it must be to all like the means to higher American ideals; a clear conception and duty and responsibility, as individuals and as a nation; economically, politically, intellectually, and spiritually. And it is the hope that when the Fact-Finding Conference convenes is April that education will come in for its share of dissatisfaction." High Rating Given A. and T. College In Survey of Schools Greenbush, N. G. — (AMP) — A high rating among the Negro College of the nation is given to the Negro Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina, in a survey of Negro colleges and universities in a survey of Negro colleges and universities published by the bureau of education for the U. S. Department of the Interior. The A. and T. College, as it is composed as one of the leading Negro land grant colleges in the United States, is the federal commission established to promote the survey. The survey holds that the business affairs of the college are well understood and grounds in the $2,000,000 plant is excellent, the program of study required, the college faculty of a well-trained group of young men holding degree from well-known institutions, an excellent service to the state and is ready for an endurance of that the Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina, has given excellent service to the state and compares than ever of the support of the people of North Carolina," it opens the final chapter of the survey in In view of the growth of the college and the increased support due it by the state, the college is encouraged to include a college arts and sciences in the future, and that the college be reorganized to substitute for the major in the college's liberal arts and sciences, a school of agriculture, and a school of mechanical arts, that teaching and production are combined. The college is enlarged as rapidly as possible, and that more adequate space be given the faculty to provide for the departments of biology and physics, and that a modern gymnasium be recommended in the state authority proposed to the state authorities. Nan Federal Support The college was established in 1891 by the general assembly and in government by the general assembly. The income of the college in 1925-27 was $176,500, not improvement and not including 35,000 accrued annually under the federation. The faculty had a total number of salaries of teacher trainees to agriculture and industry. There were 15 numbers, with 16 teachers in the secondary department. Salaries are reimbursed by a basis than in other institutions of the type, but the payment of better salaries is the effect of the college authorities to bring the institution up to the standard required by accredited institution and is recognized as a standard four-year college.

The student's subject was "The Improvement of Teaching" and he stayed closely by it throughout the course. He came to Greenbore at the invitation of the Faculty Research Club, but the members of this organization, the city schools, extension students and teachers and others to make up very large group of honors. He was presented by President D. B. Difloor. Dr. Knight said that a headlong rush in educational progress has been perhaps, accompanied by a, lowering of standards and a denial of the students and other softening tendencies in the educational progress have been observed in elementary, secondary, and higher education. In the first named, Dr. Knight noted a reaction against any sort of maintained application or steady drill as imposing on the freedom of the individual. There is no comparison to the hardness of knowledge is to crush initiative and cramp creative ability. Obedience comes to be regarded a positive vice and the rebellious student is often commended for his self-assertion. These butterfly ideas in education ought to be banished, he declared, and driven back to their creators. Another, stronger, and dangerous softness was noted in the tendency to exult methods and devices over discipline and sound learning. Dr. Knight then spoke of high school and college methods of today and examined the factors behind the falling out of a fifth of the free-man and one-year-old of the loss of 60 percent of the students between their first and last years in college. This is due to faculty standards and methods, inability to make adjustment to new environment, and imperfect instruction in fundamentals.

Figured on the basis of $3 per person, per week, expended for necessities and we have between $180,000 and $195,000 spent in Houston every week by this group of our population. For 52 weeks—one calendar year—these colored citizens spend between $9,360,000 and $10,140,000 for necessities alone. This staggering figure does not include the amount of money invested in homes and real estate, in the purchase of automobiles and accessories, furniture, radios and other household necessities and luxuries.

AMERICA, HYPOCRITE OR FOURFLUSHER? When one observes how Uncle Sam will spend huge sums of money in a vain and futile末懈 to enforce the 18th Colostead) amendment to the federal constitution, and then will positively refuse to spend one red copper or interest himself one lot in other constitutional amendments of far greater importance to America and civilization than the prohibition amendment; when one notes how Uncle Sam will employ all the governmental wheels of machinery to apprehend and punish a federal employee or plain citizen for an alleged violation of some statutes within the purview of the federal courts, and yet these same courts and jurists are not the least concerned or perturbed at the non-observance of other national statutes and constitutional amendments affecting one part of America's citizenry; when one beholds the double standard of citizenship in this country, he is forced to wonder if Uncle Sam is a monumental hypocrite or a boisterous fourfusher. The American government expends millions of dollars annually in an attempt to enforce the 18th constitutional amendment, which seeks to regulate man's appetite; but the same government refuses to regulate man's appetite, and thus imposes such amendments to this same American constitution, whose statutory provisions seek to guarantee to every American citizen the same rights and privileges enjoyed and exercised by others in our boasted democratic republic. Little wonder is it, then, that disrespect for constitutional authority has become so widespread and prevalent in this country; for the same reason that the oblivion in any country where class legislation exists, and where the law is not impartially enforced upon all citizens or subjects alike. If the Southern states can, with impunity, ignore and violate certain constitutional amendments, by the same method of reasoning and action upon the part of their citizens, why can not the northern, Eastern or Western states observe and respect only those constitutional provisions and amendments that meet their moral or suit moral standards? If a postal employee is accused of stealing a one-cent postage stamp, or riffing a sealed letter, whether it contains money, written message or is merely a decoy, the federal government will expect every effort, and areas in service every governmental agency to prove the guilt of the accused and indicted postal employee, and to secure his conviction in the federal court, often for a petty and important act or offense. The government will even spend money in an effort to trap certain suspects in the employ of the government; but this same effort will not be successful, as the violated which deed, and raise certain American citizens their intolerable and God-given rights and prerogatives, merely because of color, creed or class! Other nations of the world are quite consistent and pertinent when they advise Uncle Sam to clean up his own house before enforcing to direct the activities and dictate the policies for the other national households of the world; for reformation, like charm should start at home and then spread abroad. In the United States, the laws of the peculiar actions, queer antics and inconsistent attitud of our national government, "Is America a hypocrite or fourflesh?" POLITICAL PREPAREDNESS All Texans, white or colored, who do not pay the poll tax or accept an exemption certificate before midnight of January 31, 1929, will be ineligible to vote in any election during 1929. This applies to female, and well as male, citizens. In view of this fact and the further fact that the major portion of the poll tax money is employed for educational purposes, the Informer sounds its annual warning to our people to qualify American citizens by paying the poll tax or securing an exemption certificate within the period prescribed by law. While this is an off-year, politically speaking, it is impossible to predict or foretell what any transpire in this city during 1929 unless the qualified voters will be asked to cast their ballots either or against the propositions. There will be a city election in April, when the mayor, four city commissioners and city controller will be elected; and the fact that they were nominated in the democratic primary during last December, should not deter our people from getting ready to vote in the general election of the spring. "There many a slip is kept under the cup and lip," runs an age-old age, and in this day of strange political upheavals and conditions, one can foresee what political developments may take place. We can expect that our people qualify for our benefits, it is better to be safe than sorry, and to be on the safe side regardless that our people qualify in large numbers for the exercise of their executive franchise rights during next year; and the time very brief for fulfilling this obligation of citizenship. Since no man or woman is a citizen, from a statutory viewpoint, without a bill or receipt on certificate obtained before the expiration of its validity, we qualify by paying our poll or our录取 certificate now. The Houston Informer By KELLY MILLER The Negro forms the most distinctive group in the American body politic. He is separated both by blood and status from the general life by which he is involved. He is a partial of and at the time of time of the dominant spirit and purpose. The lines of damarkation, it seems to me, are destined to become more definite and determined. An indications point is this direction. All remedial proposals are based on this hypothetical theory. The original plan is to be proposed as much helpfulness by way of promoting a mutual understanding and goodwill, seeks to shift the buy of separation from a horizontal to an vertical position. But the idea of separation is none less the basic principles of the common sense. The plan is not to be made on the blind pugnacity which refuses to see the iron bars of the prison house against which it beats its head into insensibility. On the other hand, these are the most important things that there are lions in the way where no lions exist. But we are not to be so far as to take the same form of a person whose disdater is the first one if how to stand it, so be what is before it courage will not refuse to be. It is no problem that it is not to be so far as to offer resistance there there is any human possibility to be. We do not have the power to be an unknowable and unknowable. The line between the possible and impossible. The wise man seeks to make the same form of a person to be a detemirated stubborn fact. Whatever its nature and value of the work of the man makes little practical difference so far as it present existence and operability. It is not to be so far as to make a fact of observation and experience as Lake Michigan or the Allegheny mountain. It is a easier to see the line on the top of the lake than to eradicate race prejudice. But just as scientific skill is to be made, it is not to be so far as to make the same point of the way so far as to be the negroes of the Against the barriers of prejudice, the Negro has little or no self-resistance; the moral appeal to the white race to enforce the law which it has ordained. But the dare-dew Anglo Negro has little or no moral appeal to the laws it lafts and to flout the laws it court against the deed of the supreme court against the deed of race prejudice is as important as the pope's bull against the contest. Reasonable punishment and deed in face of its unreasonable flat. You may as well go reason with the Negro he has made the wee bleak for the white race. I would make the description conform to the fact. It is this inexorable fact of race prejudice which lies at the basis of the race problem. There are various other forms of prejudice which separate the American people from those of the American people. But none of them possess the stubbornness or persistence of race antagonism. During the last campaign, religious bigotry showed its hideous head by proclaiming the political inability of the Catholic and the Judaism of the American. The inscription of the virtue to certain and religious prejudices. The foreign born are separated from the native by definite marks of inequality. But none of these separative animosities have the malignity of the result of race prejudice. The Negro and the Negro are the most effective and the most effective in public schools in all parts of the country where his numbers become conspicuous and competitive. Jim-crow cars are set apart for his accommodation in travel on common carriers and the condition of the race. The fact of shut him from the franchise. Laws are made forbidding him to marry with persons of the white race. By super-legal sanction residential areas pen him up to himself after the manner of Pharaoh in assigning the Incrallies of the name of "Goshen." The public and public relations are most common and are only the rights and privileges which in the citizenship. The state line is established in industry which confine to the lower levels of a livelihood. Thus the state and "colonial" relations are which are the most common and the most superiority and inferiority implications. These are some of the forms in which the spirit of race prejudices manifest itself. No specific or generic performance on the part of the Nero-ero race will avail itself against or prevail over it. The more advanced the Nero becomes in the ways of progress, the more assertive and infantile it becomes. When I was a barfoot boy in South Carolina, I often ate at a table with white peasant-farmer folks, but Booker Washington must not dine with Theodore Roosevelt, the White House. As the process in science and respectabilizes it, it is more independently cast down from the place of public honor and power. The public service is more hostile to Negro officials under Coedidge than under Grant. We exhaust all of our powers of protest, but in the end not a single evil against which we complain is materially altered. The supreme court negotiates the grandfather clauses, yet the Negro in Mis-siasippi is denied his vote. Segregation is declared unconstitutional, yet segregation goes forward by leaps and bounds. We combat specific instances of discrimination but the trend moves forward with increased speed and multiplied momentum. What the n shall we do? Shall we yield supply-tion?

I declare an emphatic veto to both the proposed policies, rather like all minority groups surrounded by a more powerful populous element, make a just and appropriate scientific method to our social problem. We are not awerved to the threat of a scientific method to our cowardice or braggadocio. After the facts have been ascertained as far as possible, we will let us develop a defensive philosophy which will enable us to endure the threat of a scientific method to our Conference." More ascertainment of detailed facts about politics, economics and the fundamental cause. Let us first give the guidelines of which politics, education and economic protection are but surface indications. Next we will guide our way admist the difficulties and vicintades which we must at the foot of the tree. It is but a waste of while to spend much further research in the scientific method which spring from internal disease. Homelv Philosophv We hate because we do not understand one another.

BALLOT POWER NEGRO'S NEED. AVERS DuBOIS BALLOT POWER NEGRO'S NEED. AVERS DuBOIS Washington, D. C. —(ANP)—According to Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, editor of the Crisis, the most important task before the Negro is the acquisition of political power. Speaking before the National Interracial Conference which met here recently, Dr. Du Bois said: “For twenty-five years this nation, and even the friends of the Negro, have been taught that Negro vote should not be touched upon nor investigated. We do not, therefore, know how far Negro votes today occupy, sponsing, and recreation, all as many as seem to assume, upon philanthropy. In the same way, we are aware of and have a more equitable administration of law and justice, cleaner citizenship rights, and more normal rights for all Americans in the United States a democracy upon the fundamental truth that every citizen has a vote in its own government. "How the working class is going to use its political power to better and more secure itself, still be a grave problem; but there is no problem in the certainty that with the right group we can escape slavery. "But that is not all. A distrunctive element in the certainty that with the right group we can escape slavery. Today, in the South, politicians have every incentive to cut down the number of voters, the number of voters, the number of voters, the greater is the political power of the cliques which today are the most influential influence on the political life of the whole United States makes a normal third party movement impatient. "We need, first of all, thorough-going investigation of the facts, and before we can mind our minds and conscience clear; a distruncted working class in modern industrial civilization in the country, it will suffer in health, it will suffer in work, it will work on the lowest-industrial plane, it will live in poverty.

AMILCAR DUVAL (1872-), POET, JOURNALIST, HISTORIAN The subject of this paper, Amilcar Duval, was born at Port-au-Prince, and plotted a course in law he was submitted to the bar. He was named by ministers of law and was later given the distinguished position of counsel Amilcar Duval has been a captive writer. His writings are to be admi- rent. He is the first published book in that contains in several glorious memoirs of the author. As a reputable one of his country, though this book is not an detailed com- pany, it is worth gaining from its reading. His style, while not highly hyperbolic, is not mattered, while it could be enlarged upon, does not deviate from the useful as well as corrected of the book. His novels are highly realistic and vivid, are from real life, and animated, vivid, and good. They are good, is to say little for he is very doubt a writer of great ability in narrative, in narrative, in narrative, but where occasion occurs, energetic and effective. As a utility, it is that of venturing to diverse common sense and humor to the precepts of real life and natural feeling. He represents them with no sentiments, no hypothetical representations of uncommon character or situation, no hypothetical passion. His characters are true to life. And without excluding love and to刻画 from pages, he knows how to刻画 it if it is true, neither disregards the sentiment from its true dignity, nor lifts it to a burial place among the passions. And his heroes and heroes, if such they may accurately good, nor interestingly wicked. As a poet he is above the ordinary. He is prominent and culture. Every page of his is proof that he is a lover of Shakespeare and Wordworth. Like a sun, the season, and the hour; like colors and harmonies of the sky, the sun, the season, and the hour; like beauties are his own. In his earlier poets, he often reminds me, by the celebration of English poet, Crable: he has moulded his own style into its peculiar and native beauty, and like a sun, he has moulded his own style into its way vigorous, majestic, and with a character all his own. He delights in writing on some noble themes; and in his poems he uses the breath of scope, and pours forth a harmony grand, melancholy, and thrillful themes with the sympathy and liness of poetry, they are yet the stern and real, as he tells us, and as we feel and know from our own experience, all He finds his actual knowledge. He finds his real growth of society, and he boldly and vehemently kays bare their presence and culture, and with the poem of a giant. Besides being a novelist, poet and essayist, David has a reputation. His most successful work is "in this particular line of writing it is true," while, however, there are many excellent traits to be admired in his diction. He does not care always for them. The character to be labored and mechanical, while the character to be joyed the popularity of being a disgrace and other have now better plays and must therefore be more popular. Now, the time now, David has been a friendly critic of the stage and his criticisms of the writer. When last I heard of David, he diligently writing a new book, but nature of which he did not disciple. HOUSTON NEGRO INVENTOR J. S.

OPINIONS As observed at Washington Prairie football frencas at West End Park Christmas Day: The crowd looks like the largest in history of high school games among the race in the city. Hundreds of white spectators, some sitting among colored fans and fanettes. Isn't it funny how the boasted Nordic forgets so much of his racial prejudice at sporting events and presses this same practice into service in his religious realism? O'boy, just jump the feminine beauties galore, all bedocked in the latest world style and finds. No race can end with a great present such a human rainbow picture at the bronze "chillune" of Ham and Principals Miller and Ryan in the customary confab before the beginning of hostilities.

The's Jimmy Law, Prairie View's athletic mentor, downs looking 'em over, or is he scouting for material? The Washington and Yates pep leaders are certainly whooping things up or down one. Shuck, they are presenting flowers to the Golden Eagles. Such presentations usually precede defeat. Well, so did this time: Washington lost to Yates, 8-6. Quite a number of inebriated "fellers" trying to see the game. Bootlegters must have done a thriving Veletide business! Group of Wheatley Wildcats rejoicing over Washington's defeat, as the Cats are now undisputed city champions, as well as champs of South Texas. It is just awful the way they are, enabling and bickering on every important decision rendered by Referee Dezon. Be a little firm and positive with players and coaches, R. W., and "I'll cut that out.

When the news leaked out that the Empress Josephine took a bath every day there was almost as much excitement as "Lindy" suddenly descended from the clouds. Ladies of the royal bed-chambers of the Kingdom of Angleseine threw a day to, say nothing of frequent ablutions with soap and water between baths. But it must be remembered that Napoleon had a fond of a fantastic on the subject of bathing, but it must be remembered that Napoleon had a fond of something had to be done to offset so great a disadvantage in those days. Napoleon devoted two hours a day to her toilette, washing in silver tubs and basins. Napoleon's attractive wife became addicted to bathing in a serious way bath was indulged in only physicists. But after the death of Napoleon down from her royal throne to patronize soap and water, people began to be something in the notion. Although many years passed before the institution in civilized countries there is no doubting the fact that the movement was helped along by the example of Cecile girl who became an empress. Nowadays you don't have to be an empress to take a bath. With soap and water accessible everywhere, any empress can charm that comes from cleanliness. DEACONS By WILLIAM PICKENS Michigan seems to be producing the greatest number of dangerous moves in the state's population. A white baby age an old man killed a little girl, and a horribly killed a little boy. A boy named Dennis and only African-American 27-year-old teacher, and pretends to have done so simply because three chefs in school. The youth of the land, especially the white youth, seem to be the most criminals in the municipality of crime. But as the Deacon boy in white, he is just an exception, an individual deacon. He is not just a boy, but would further an argument for integrating all the Negro schools in the common schools of the city, and such people, and such in the nature of race prejudice that every individual weakness in the city will suffer. This is just an illogical and unfair as it would be to try to put all the white children out of school because of this little unfortune. We are sorry that the Deacon boy is at all. Why did God make him? But we are certainly gled that he is Dear Lee: Well, Lee, Crismus is dun cum an wint wunce mo!, an I is still let' ter tell how it awl happened.

Toodle-oo, pip-pip, I must be popping!—Ooh, excuse me, Anson, me boy," the tall, brown eyed athletic youth pivoted on his toes and caught a sleekly handsome, but narrow chested, sallow skinned young man firmly by the upper arm. He was just in time. The firm hold was all that saved the other fellow from the impulse of the excursion train. "Y-y-your c-conduct," the sleek haired Anson caught his breath with a gulp, "is most unbecoming, David. If you have no respect for yourself you should respect the aged. You almost projected me against Deacon Brown, here." He turned and with profuse apologies and ostentation politeness assisted a hawk nosed, thin lipped old black man just behind him, down onto the crowded platform of the railway station train shed. "Well, fu goodness sakes, how are you, Brother Allisen." The milling crowd surged backward and for- ward in a slowly advancing stream of happy holiday makers, tangled and untangled themselves in joyous groups, calling greetings and inquiries across a sweating and laughing sea of color. David Conway's golden bronze face flushed angrily as he turned away from the oily politeness of the super-virtuous Anson Bledsoe. His soft brown eyes were frankly cynical and his wide, generous lips were hard with the unaccustomed hardness of a sneer. CABARET BOUND "I'm going out and hunt up the wildest and toughest cabaret in this man's town and enjoy myself." David called the information over the heads of the crowd to a wide faced, flat headed youth at the far edge. His young, full toned voice carried with surprising clearness. The round faced young scapegrace grinned appreciatively, showing all the strong white teeth in his big, loose-lipped mouth. The more daring youngsters in the crowd tittered audibly. The less candid ones smiled furtively or looked knowingly at each other and longingly at David, envious of a bravery that dared to so flaunt Clean, Wholesome and Refreshing Foreign Advertising Representatives; W.

Only the impeccable Anson gasped in horror with the elder, and more or less sanctimonious portion of the holiday seekers. "He that soweth the wind shall reap the whirlwind." The words fell aptly from his down drawn, sensuous lips. He shook his head and looked with veiled eagerness for the approbation of the bent little old black man whose arm he still held. It came almost immediately in a fervent and loudly emphatic "amen, amen, you sure are right, Brother Anson, son, that Davy Conway is ripe for the burnin', he sure is. "Lawd, Lawd, what a cross for his good old mother and daddy that sinful child is goin' 't be." The old man's thin lips were drawn down in almost a replica of the lines that dragged at the corners of the younger man's lips. The expression made his long hooked nose look even more predatory than usual. His little black eyes seemed to snap with an almost evil enjoyment at the possibility of fulfillment of his dire prophecy. "Tck, tck," he clacked malevolently. Tek, tak, checked, the crowd in his immediate vicinity, assentingly. " I have, David, the other still on his lips, the top of the head, the cling of the clearness of his frank, hewers eyes, was far down the wooden walk between the long train.

" ANSON GETS AWAY Elyes raised in power condemnation and clamery, cotton soft hands changing the elbow of Doncon Brown, Asson Ilodine came slowly up to the wall, and the other was on the other side. His short, quick steps were constantly timed to the slower, more laborious walking of the older man. At the street level he turned. "Hi have to leave you here, Brother or Brown," he said, and his tone was reluctant as though parting gave him pain. "You know, I have some important matters of business to attend to while I have the opportunity. The Sunday School Publishing House has not been so prompt to standing out in the public building with the time I have to be on the superintendent of our Sibebath school it is my duty to investigate that matter while I have to get the information." He refused, potentially. "That's a mighty fine idea, an' the old doncon's voice was eagerly hopeful. " "I don't you want me to go along with you. As a deacon of the church my influence might push them folk up some." "Ahom!" The short expression seemed almost like a gasp of disinformation. 262r. I that would be fine, Brother Brown, but unfortunately I was rather so much as I could see him, and he was a man of business before going to the public. He was then, later this evening I have planned to go to the public's house at the 7. M. C. A. I shall see you on the way home. The note of reluctance to the voice was not as clear as I could see, about, and was might presume. In the light of the speaker's abrupt departure, whether lacking, with no regretful longing. Demon Brown fell back with the slower and less interesting companies of his own group. The last time, Christian young man, it's Brother Arenn Hillesee, he said, and his voice was generally appreciative. That boy is very good. I am so much in the world. If we had more like him and fewer like that Dave Conway we'd be a hope sight better off. IN DEFENSE OF JUNE "Oh, my!

She smiled up at the big youth garkly like a bright eyed Hills maggle, all thought of David and Annon and Deacon Brown wiped out of her existence.

The man had kissed her brown body just where the slender column of her throat rose above the soft curve of her shoulder. The man was Annon Bladwell DAVE TO THE RESCUE Waiters leaped to the girts rescue. But they, too, were too late. David's first had already stretched the narrow shouldered sleekly handsome boat at the feet of the dancer. It was over to an instant. Breathing heavily with repressed excitement David sealed himself again at his table trying hard to resume the unconscious manner of one who had done nothing unusual. The discomfited Annon now the worse for a slowly reddening eye crawled sheepishly to his feet and scutured for the man's room off the lobby. Under the multiple scrutiny David reddened and twisted uncomfortably. Two men sealed at a table in the farther corner syed him appraisingly. "Go, what a wallop that bird carries." The speaker, a slender, weak-faced boy of about twenty, looked across at his companion, a big brute of a man with poor shaped head and thick, penulous lip. "That guy went down like a rock to the bottom of the river." "You said it, he carries a wallop all right." Big O's small little eyes were craftily appraising the brown eyed young giant at the far table. "He looks like mother's hope up to the city for a big time. Let's drift over and look him up and down." He shocked up heavily and started across the room. But David had rises, embarrassed to the point of flight by the concentrated attesties and comments of the room full of people. Before "Big O" and young Harry Dusse reached him he disappeared through the great swinging doors leading into the hobby.

By his side, holding onto his arm and awning slightly was the round- fixed set—he's well with whom he had left the building crowd of him coming friends and acquaintances that morning. A passing breeze wafted the smell of light, lemur to his nostrils. He smiled a bit pactedly and pecked into the binary eyes of his compaqies. "Let's go over to that和谐HFK," he said, "I go to some thing to get the smell of that body hypocrite. Anass Bladose, out of my nostrils. I've tried all day to get away from the stink of his four-shining sanctimoniousness and blamed if it doesn't stick yet. Even that could not be.

Hobbing to David's arm and lifting each foot carefully before he set it down he made the little journey across the street an event that brought laughter to the little group of letters left behind. The first food into the brightly lighted doorway of the "Black Bottom Cabaret" GAY TIMES The shrill, average music of a jazz band rushed at them and longed around as they stopped into the heavily lighted air. Back and forth across the floor, strobing in and out between the tables, the longing disser, a down half asked cheers girls escaped and encroashed. The mapped their fingers in the air as they shielded a smally翁 the whiting seabroom. They whired their skock bodies in wild�s. The barring horse and booming drums. Herb Wilks' drink-burred eyes suddenly leared into a certain bestial cheerless as he stopped into a chair. The whirling of the walker helped David convey him. "Hot Baby," he mouthed through shobery lips as a full boozed brown girl brushed him with her bare round body in gaming. The air was as fast through the beaches of the sunset. The beaches gathered in the palms of his head. His eyes were burring, eager. Then, suddenly the twisting, glow-worm line of girls vanished behind a tinseled forest backdrop through the sunset. The soaring the sunsetལ་ glade that is the stage at the end of the long room. The music stopped, abruptly. The lights went out. A tense hush fell over the morrow, the air was the most tiger-like. The whole world seemed to be waiting in that expectant hush for something. Then, across the alliance there were the呼ing of sound from a single instrument in the shadowy orchestras, pfl. A single star of light glowed for a few minutes, watching along the path that turned ever more and away to infinity distances.

From the fall orchestra to me, the blake dance has the small open glaze that has barely touched a fire at a thigh height. But barely touch a fire at a thigh height for a moment on the floor. Then with a golden blonde hair, transformed into the mind of the blake dance, from the darkened pit at his feet, from the darkened pit at his feet, from the darkened pit at his feet, hardly the covered through head, crowned city of her name, "Theblake" plunged tautly into the dance. Eyes glittered like the eyes of jungle boasts. Down also came now, among the sense-crained men at the tables. Her eyes, soft, dangerous, inviting eyes, rested on David. Then, as though shocked into some sudden sense of horror, turned quickly away and sought other eyes. Breatheably, David followed the graceful, wild rhythm of her swaying body. His was the first eye to see the clatching saffron colored hands that thrust out and gripped the blended swaying form. Every eye in the room focused on the head shoulders and square-faced bronze face of the country lad. FREE Beauty Book Morning best styles of arregay the hair of COLORED PETER We are the largest T.A.

Big Ott stood bearing at him out of his little piggy eyes. The times of cheap corn whiskey fooded with the odors from a ruffed alcoholic stomach, nauseated David. He turned his face alduer to the man and started to walk away. "Hey, bo, what's the hurry? I ain't gonna eat chic. Come on along with us and have a drink!

" North, zwotka, wait for me? I brung along some friends. We'll make a big night of this." His eyes violated her as he reached out his big square fingered hand and grapple her firmly by the arms, dragging her towards him. David's face went ashen, then dashed with the dark blood of repulsion as the man bent his blotted face above the honey guldine one of Zola's. He could see the strickers look of serene and smugglers from the little rod eyes approached the big fear-filled ones that stared up as though frozen into a sheer desperate hopelessness. Then, as if she could stand no more than a good man, he could, despite strength and the holy holy, striving to evade the wet, smanness light.

A BABY FOR YOU Are you denied the blessing of motherhood—the glory of a baby all your own? Do you and your husband present to you a baby? For a baby does not need that say more? Nature should be children. When she is, it is usually due to some weakness or disorder of the organs of reproduction. When these organs are properly timed up, invigated and helped to function properly, the blossoms of motherhood may be realised. Many women are now praising a remarkable new treatment called Gen-Tune and expressing their gratitude for what it has done for them. Intended as an aid in revitalizing the organ of reproduction, many report also that it helped to relieve many of the albino's common problems with the�oodness such as hearing down and periodical petals etc., and alike them to lead happier and more compulsable lives.

Brother Anson says it was awful. There in company with that child e' hell. Herb Wilks, he found David and pled with him to come out of that house of sin. But David was under the spell of the strange woman. He struck Brother Bledsoe a mighty blow and turned to the arms of that shameless Jezebel, that brazen daughter of Satan, Zola. Brother Anson said he covered his eyes in grief and shame an' left him there. But his heart was heavy. I tried to save Dave's soul from the burnin'. We all know it haint' your fault, Brother Conway. "We know you and Sister Nancy has tried to raise your children right, so I thought you ought to know about this." He paused and it seemed that an almost evil clie danced in his keen little black eyes. Old Jason Conway's stern black face was hard and dintlike. The uncompromising lines, graven by a long life of rigid, unflattering honesty, but also of narrow bigotry that he firmly believed to be Christianity, were deeply etched by anger. He turned to his son, David. The boy half opened his lips as if to speak. His soft brown eyes, so like his mother's seemed almost to plead for understanding. But as they met the pitiless cold hooding of his father's game they grew sullen. His chin tightened and hardened. He gave back look for look. Nancy Conway from her place by the kitchen table looked fearfully from her son to her husband. She half lifted her garred brown hand in a pleading gesture for peace between them then let it fall, helplessly. Old Deacon Brown's sharp black eyes danced from one face to the other eagerly expectant. "Did you go to that cabaret, David?" the question was incisive. The voice that uttered it hard and emotionless with hard held anger. "Yes!" the single word was "a defiant children MASSED FROM HOME" "Very well, now get your dud-and-get-out And—I never want to see your face around my house again. If I do—" the unfinished sentence held a mense of cold finality. The tall, rugged faced old black man, descendant of imprecable Ethiopian kings, turned without a backward look and with a gesture toward MAGIC ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION the thin cruel lipped deacon, strode out of the room into the wide yard at the side of the big gray house. Looking back with a satisfied leer in his beady black eyes the old deacon followed him. Nancy Conway crossed the room to her son. Her trembling lips were pressed tightly together. She was silent. Only the entire tears welling up now, and overflowing onto the wrinkled old gold of her cheeks told of the tremendous emotional upheaval going on within. She reached tremulous old arms up and encircling David's neck drew his head down to her bosom. There was a long, silent moment, she held him close so that and then let him go, only to clasp him again tighter to her bosom. At last, very gently, David loosened his mother's arms from his neck. "It'll be all right mother," he said. "It's that"—he choked back the expletive that started in his heart and swallowed hard, the oath was no word to be uttered in his mother's presence—"that—hypocritical Anson Bledsoe's lies that have done this." Kissing her gently he went out and up to the wide windowed room where she will make a shrine of happy childhood. David walked slowly toward the little wooden railway station of Rlingford. RITIZED BY FRIENDS A boy growing girls approached along the narrow brick pavement. David exchanged his heavy old-fashioned gray traveling bag from his right to his left hand and raised his hat, smiling in the old familiar friendly way. Every girl in that crowd that had known him from kindergarten days dropped her eyes and passed him without a word. low laugh from behind the trunk of a church of a house just inside the low hedge bordering the sidewalk, brought the swift blood to his cheeks. Anson Bledsoe stepped out, hat in hand, bowing elegantly to a pretty girl whose lips curled scornfully as her eyes passed over and through David. The boy curased, low, deep down in his chest. Just behind the turn of the street, the uniform tracks crossed through the little town. Beyond the tracks were a tumble down row of dirty, sordid little one room houses. A two story dump made an exclamation point at the end of the block farthest away. Loitering on the corner between the nearest small hut and the taller house was a pretty olive skinned young girl dressed in vivid red. As David passed she smiled in friendly fashion, without suggestion. David smiled in return, casually. "Hello, Angie," he said in response to her pleasantly called "hello, Dave."

Then, with a quick book up and down the street, he disappeared inside. Leisurely Angie followed him, an eager, pleased light in her eyes. David Conway smiled bitterly.
