While the very life of the convention is at stake, and while any Chickens may play the game fairly and in keeping with the teachings of the Head of the church, no such situation seems remotely possible, and thus both factions are going merrily a-pace with plans for perpetuating a state convention. Recent issue of a white weekly newspaper, published in Houston, carried this citation in an obscure place in said publication: Sheriff's Sale Under and by virtue of an execution and order of sale issued on the 14th of December, 1748,88 of the district court of Harris County, in favor of W.

The color that charged the doctors of Houston are rapidly increasing the population of the cemeteries, does not change the color of the bodies kept at ten of the local colored undertaking establishments. While there is always room for improvement in the medical circle, as well as in all other fields of human endeavor, the colored members of the church have been trained to the world as being wholly incompetent and inefficient, and as being in league with the moricians and cemetery owners. During December ten colored undertaking firms buried 144 Negroes, and ten colored doctors in 40 instances or 27.15; in 104 deaths the certificates were signed by the coroner and physicians of the other race, or 72.95.

W. C. A. NORTH CAROLINA COLLEGE HONORS ITS BENEFACTOR Durham, N. G.—(ANP)—The faculty and students of the North Carolina College for Negroes at special chapel exercises held in the Avery Andirium at a Vickey on Thursday, paid tribute to the late B. H. Duke, who has shown his interest and friendship for the college by gifts in the past two years totaling over $100,000. President James E. Shepard made brief remarks touching the simplicity of the life of Mr. Duke, his interests in all good causes and his general interests in the life of his people of Durham. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted by the faculty and students: "Death has removed from the active sphere of life one who had sought to serve his creator by serving his fellowman. "Benefactions of Mr. B. H. Duke have lifted the burdens from many struggling colleges, churches and individuals. "Good work which he has done will live in the hearts of men through the years which are to come. "Mr. Duke was a human benefactor, he used his great wealth to brighten the load of his fellowman. Therefore, he is resolved by the faculty and the students of the North Carolina College for Negroes that we go on record as expressing our gratitude for what an appreciation and our appreciation of all the things which he has done for the benefit of humanity. "In this hour and of bereavement we express to his beloved wife, Mrs. A. J. Deuxel Blddle, our sympathy and the prayers of this body that strength may be given to them to mourn their present sorrow." As a further mark of respect, the man was closed during the hour of the funeral. Mr. Duke died in New York City Monday, after a lengthy illness, and his body was brought here for burial.

The latest protest against the passage of the bill, which would prohibit Negroes from living in certain districts and cause those already living in neighborhoods that are predominantly white to move before April 1, was made Tuesday evening when more than 500 Negro citizens, at a mass meeting in the True Reformers Hall, adopted the following resolution condemning the bill: "They have believed the assurance of the white people of Richmond that they are friends of the Negro, and have waited patiently for some concrete evidence of their friendship. They meetings designed to resist oppressive anti-Negro legislation, feeling that Richmond's problem could be better solved by citizens of Richmond. This narrative attests the faith the Negro had in their white neighbors. "Richmond is the only city in the South which has white principals in the city, and in the city of consequence in which there is no definite evidence of the friendship professed. It is the only Southern city which offers a segregation ordinance as proof of the friendship of the whites for the blacks.

Mr. Mills announces that booths are being created in Richmond to serve the Negro community, 433 Hill and 801 Franklin, in the lobby of the Lincoln Theatre, 114 Franklin. Every cultural man and woman in Houston and Harris County should pay his or her poll tax or secure an exemption certificate before midnight of January 31, 1929, so that they can exercise their elective franchise rights at the various elections to be held during 1929.

"Be it, therefore, resolved, that the chairman of this meeting be authorized and directed to issue this statement of the rights of the Negroes of Richmond, and that he is hereby empowered to appoint appropriate committees, to solicit the aid of any agency in sympathy with this movement, and to take such steps as are necessary to put into effect the sentiment of this meeting.

JOINSON) The citizens of Houston for the past several weeks have been anticipating the coming of the Flick Glee Club which rendered a most excellent program at the City Auditorium, Sunday afternoon, January 13. A magnificent audience of both young and old have to greet them, and when the thirty young men filed out on the rostrum with music in their very tread, the whole audience must breathless, almost, waiting for the first note to fall from their throats, beginning the treat they had to give them. From the time Prof. John Work, Jr. raised his baton to inform them so accurately in the chorus, "To the Field," by Buck, down to the closing of the program with that old eternal favorite of Negro spirituals, "Swing Low, our soul," our own, lighted for every moment of the entertainment. No program by any group is half no interacting as one rendered where the majority of the numbers are Negro spirituals, America's greatest folk songs. And no group of singers who are so engaged as a group of Negro singers. And we can venture the assertion the no group of Negro singers can render such program any better than a group from Flick University. These young men showed us how to do the most difficult classical selections with as much one as they can the songs that belong to them.

ANDREWS Another Houston product has been called to a field of larger service when the St. John Baptist Church of Dallas, one of the leading congregations of the state, extended a pastoral call to Rev. Richard T. Andrews, who forsook the grocery business here in 1909. At the time of his call to the Dallas church, Rev. Andrews was pastoring the St. Paul Baptist Church at Crockett. Even while engaged in the grocery business, Rev. Andrews spent considerable time in Sunday school and church work, having served as superintendent of a school that was his pastor. Sunday school and teacher of the men's Bible class for several years. During the early period of his ministerial career he served under Pastor E. L. Harrison as assistant pastor of Antioch, relinquishing the position to accept work at Crockett. Aside from offering him a hands-on position, he was what his office all moving expenses of Rev. Andrews to Dallas and to provide him a modern home as paragon; also making allowance for an assistant pastor. When seen last week by an Informer reporter before leaving for the North Texas city, Rev. Andrews did not seem to be regarding this call to the Dallas church, but it is more than likely that he will accept St. John's pastorate. FORMER SLAVE DIES WEALTHY IN MISSISSIPPI Senatobia, M. mis. — (ANP) - P h11 price 104 years old, idle school in Alabama in Coldwater Sunday. Born in Alabama in 1824, Price was 38 years old when freed from slavery. He became one of the largest landowners at the time of his death owning more than a 300 acres of fine farm lands. Price was here when the first railroad train ran, when the first steamboat plowed the Mississippi river and lived to see airships飞 across his farms. He resided in Mississippi for more than 100 years and was a purely patriotic standpoint. He died in the house in which he had lived for seventy-five years.

The quartet from St. John on Dowling will be the feature musical attraction for this month. Those who attend are asked to come prepared to quote some passage from their favorite song. The district meeting of the association will be held in February and the offer desire to begin plans for that occasion. Everybody is invited. FIRST SECTION—NUMBER 35 Hospital Situation Made More Acute By Declinations When the retiring colored board of directors of the Houston Negro Hospital met last Friday evening to turn over the business of the institution to the newly elected board, consisting of J. B. Griggsy, Homer E. McCoy, Rev. J. S. Scott, W. E. Miller, C. H. McGruder and Miss Virginia B. Miller, the old board was faced with declinations and refusals to serve by practically every one of the 1929 board members. While Mr. Griggsy did not exactly decline to serve, he did state in his letter to the retiring board that, if it were a fact that the Negro board had no authority and was merely a figure-head even though he is always glad to render service for his race and humanity wherever he can, he could not serve as a mere manikin in this hospital role. N.A.A.C.P Lists Legal Victories Won During '28 Other members who refused outright to serve on the board under the present system and regime are Homer E. McCoy, Miss Virginia B. Miller and the three hold-over directors, Rev. J. S. Scott, C. H. McGurder and W. E. Miller. The seventh member of the 1929 board was not elected, as the Negro board did not know any person in Houston by the name of "Gussie Andrews," the other member nominated, by the white advisory committee. Despite the fact that the constitution provides that the old board members shall serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified, the retiring board has finished its year's work, and thus the Houston Negro Hospital is literally without a Negro board. That a new Negro is now on the scene, and that whites can not treat with Negroes like they did years ago and get by with N.A.A.C. Legal V Won D New York—Legal victories won in behalf of the Negro throughout the country take a leading place in the annual report for 1928 of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, summary of which was made public recently. The advancement victories was won by the Charleston, West Virginia, branch of the N. A. A. C. P. before the supreme court of appeals of that state, prohibiting the exclusion of colored people from the Charleston Public Library. In three out of four extradition contests the N. A. A. C. P. was able to prevent the removal of a colored man from northern jurisdiction to a state where he had been recorded. The extraditions prevented through N. A. A. C. P. intervention were from Ohio to Mississippi, from Montana to Alabama, and from Michigan to Florida. The association reports that cases have been in denial in three states to contest the denial of primary election votes to Negro by party action, followed by primary decision of the U. S. supreme court that is state law to this effect was unconstitutional. The cases have begun in Texas, Virginia and Florida. On the question of residential segregation, a case arising in Washington, D. C., was prepared during 1928 and was heard early in 1929, by the District of Columbia court of appeals, challenging the right of property owners to make segregation covenants upon future purchasers of property. The association reports that plans for the extension of its legal work it, are quite evident in the local hospital situation which has become acute. Many local Negroes are contending that no black man or woman with any self-respect and manhood or womanhood, can serve on this board until the white advisory committee decides to abdicate from its lofty and tyrannical throne and permit the Negro board to exercise its constitutional functions. There has been considerable agitation for a citywide indignation meeting, to protest against such an autocratic and arbitrary committee on the part of the white advisory committee; while some hold to the view that the matter is becoming so confused and conglomerated that legal procedure should be resorted to in an effort to have the powers of the Negro board and white advisory committee of the constitution of the Houston Negro Hospital, passed upon by the courts. P Lists ictories uring '28 are under way, a directory of 1055 attorneys having been compiled in various parts of the country, who have expressed themselves as willing to be called upon should a case arise in their community or state. This list of 105 attorneys is constantly being added to. Members of the N. A. A. C. P. during 1928 for all purposes were $90,258.82. Its officers held 707 meetings during the year, in 33 states, most of the far Southern states being repeatedly visited. The N. A. A. C. P. officers in the course of their work traveled 75,387 miles. Among all the states in which there are N. A. A. C. P. branches, California hold the leading place during 1928 for the most important official office, Los Angeles holds first place among individual branches. California sent $7,900.68 and Los Angeles $33,633.70. NORDIC RAPIST IS FREED IN GOTHAM New York—(AMP) Jacob Sobhn, a former city marshal, now a real estate operator, was freed of a con- plaint made by a 13-year-old collared Gilbert Walker in Washington Heights court Friday morning. The girl alleged that she was attacked by Sobhn who came to her parents' home to collect rent on December 28. The statement was partially corroborated by Miss Mary Edwards who ended in the same building. When there was some discrepancy found in the other records, the girl, Gilbert, Sobhn was charged.

Philadelphia, Pa.—(ANP)—The report recently issued by the Bureau covering the fiscal year, shows that out of 28,383 delinquency cases reported 27 per cent or more than one-fourth were girls who were to be "ungoverable or beyond parental control." This is to be compared with seven per cent of the boys. The report is interesting, and reveals that the man in the cases brought before the juvenile courts involved boys and girls between the ages of fourteen and sixteen. The problems presented are different. The distribution of charges in 24,244 boys' cases and 4,143 girls' cases is as follows: or attempted stealing, 41 per cent; acts of carlessness or mischief, 27 per cent; truancy or running away, 15 per cent; ungoverable or beyond parental control, 7 per cent; sex offense, 2 per cent; injury or injury to person, 3 per cent; liquor or drug violation, 1 per cent; other offences, 8 girls—stealing or attempted stealing, 13 per cent; acts of carlessness. (BY JESSE O. THOMAS) A very unique piece of social work with very great interracial significance was done by the several agencies in the membership of the Tampa (FLA) Welfare League and Community Chest. This effort took on the complexion of a pageant which dramatized the activities of each one of the eighteen organizations comprising the chest movement in that city. The compel- ing motion or mobilizing slogan of the whole team was "The Spirit of Tampa." Some representative of each one of the eightteen organizations appeared on the stage of the great City Auditorium and did a stunt or a characteristic of the work done by the relief-giving or character building. Two of these agencies were represented by colored people. They were the Tampa Urban League and the Handling Day Nursery. When the time came for the Urban League or or day nursery, the children of continuity, they were given their place as a part of the general program and not left until the tail end of the affair. In other words, when the character building agencies were making their demonstrations, all agencies made their contributions and the same thing is true when it came to a matter of relief-giving or child-careing institutions. The whole thing was well done from start to finish. Instead of the audience reacting unavailably to the relief-giving and the colored people and the colored agencies, if any preference was shown, it was for the colored participants. When the day nursery children appeared the outburst of applause that greeted them virtually "stopped the language of the local newspaper. Two hunter seats, representing the ratio of the Negro population to the total, were reserved for Negro organizers. Thus the Negro became an active participating member of the active reasonable fashion. There are many 422 SAN FELIPE ST. re- or mischief, 7 per cent; trunancy or running away 29 per cent; ungoverness or beyond a parent control, 27 per cent; injury or attempted injury, to person, 3 per cent; liquor or drug violation, 1 per cent; other offences, 2 per cent. the figures would show that the girls are more ungovernable, although two-thirds of the boys were charged with stealing or with acts of carelessness or mischief, while three-thirds with trunancy, "running away", "ungovernable" and "sex offences" Small Number of Colored Children An interesting feature of the report is that 54 per cent of the children who came before the juvenile courts were white, while 16 per cent were black. The Children's Bureau says that the proportion of delinquent children who were colored was larger in the Southern cities. In Winston-Salem, N. C, 73 per cent, and in Norfolk, Va. 82 per cent of the delinquent children were colored. In the North Carolina, 65 per cent of the age of white children varied from 71 per cent to 100 per cent. cities in the South where this kind of thing has never been done. This goes to show that much of the limitations and indignities imposed upon colored people are not a question of geography, but a question of social engineering on the part of the public-spirited and justice loving citizens of both groups. In the Community Chest of the city, many of these were arranged alphabetically without regard to race and "the earth still brings fourth her increase." DETROIT DOES NOT NEED MORE LABOR Detroit, Mich. - (ANP) - Prosperity in this city is measured in a measure by fulltime operation of the many industrial plants, and the Ford plants seem to be the hub around which this industrial progress is centered. The recent announcement through the press to the effect that the Ford plants will employ 30,000 new men beginning Wednesday, everybody here is now looking forward to a business boom by springtime. The 'ill effect the broadcasting of this news is sure to have, is, that laborers from everywhere are sure to be employed, and that there will be employment for all. The fact is, there are enough unemployed men in Detroit to fill this opening created by the Ford Motor Company, which company has already announced the fact that Detroit men will be given preference. As the situation now stands it is absolutely unsafe for any great number of men to come here seeking work. DETROIT THEATER EMPLOYS Detroit, M i c h — (ANP) — Rudolph Brown and Harold West have recently been employed as electricians at the Broadway Strand, one of the big down-town theatres, according to recent announcements. They are believed to be the only Negroes employed as stage hands at any of the white theatres here. GOODS STORE the Dry Goods line. A full line of S on hand. Your patronage so MON, Prop.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1929 SLEMP BOOSTED FOR PORTFOLIO IN NEW CABINET SLEMP BOOSTED FOR PORTFOLIO IN NEW CABINET Washington, D.C.—(ANP). That section of the South which changed its political color during the recent presidential election is now bidding for recognition from President-elect Herbert Hoover, for the assistance given in his election. This fact became evident Wednesday when Congressman-elect Schaefer of Virginia presented the name of Bascom Slemp as a candidate for a cabinet position. It has been political gossip that Slemp was aspiring for the position of postmaster-general, with secretary of the interior as second choice. His friends, however, must have felt that the present postmaster-general, Harry New, would be reappointed and therefore recommended that the Virginian be made secretary of the interior, the portfolio now held by Roy West of Illinois. While President-elect Hoover made no comment, whatever, on the matter, wiseacres here are of the opinion that Slemp will be one of the members of the president's cabinet, basing their belief upon the fact that Slemp was one of those invited to the Hoover headquarters for conference Thursday and upon the fact that Slemp was directly responsible for Virginia being found in the Republican column.

DEEP HARLEM NOT SO VERY DEEP, SAY NEW YORK CRITICS New York.—(ANP)—Coincident with the opening of several other new plays in this city Monday night, "Deep Hair" opened to a small crowd at the Macy's Center, roundly flayed the producers of the show as lacking everything a good comedy should have. There are two or three songs which will stand, one being "I Shall Love You" and the other two, "Mexican Girl," which are based on a spiritual. Of the performers, Juanna Stitmein comes in for the most praise, her work being that of a finished artist, one critic comparing her favorably with the late Oscar-winning singer like objection to several numbers says a critic on the Evening World. The finale, a cabaret scene from Harlem, falls dead and leaves the audience wondering what it all is about. The Evening Graphic, it the show, is slower than a "Lencor Avenue local."

According to Mr. Pickens the N. A. A. C. P. has demonstrated the follow- ther that white and colored Americans can work together, undefended by the reasonableness of traditions. That name and conservative white people in the United States can nup THE BROOKLYN PRESS WILLIAM PICKENS port unqualifiedly and unapologetically, the equal rights of Negro citizens. That self-help is primary in the advancement of any race or group. That leaders of a dianastadant race can cooperate in their different positions of leadership. That there is potentiality for achievement among this so-called wakker people. That upon the demonstration that self-help is primary, Mr. Pickens said: "The very first effect to improve the social status of a group must come from the group itself. Others can only assist, but there must be something to assist. The work of the Negro community and the fellow must be making a stand before you can stand with him. It was the Frederick Douglass type of a slave that supplied the inspiration for friends of the Negro emancipation; and it was the Niagara movement of the Negro in the real spirit of this association. The courage and intelligence of Negroes of the type represented by W. E. B. Dulbeck furnished a direct cause; and the work of Booker T.

But while men can do nothing for you unless you are doing something for yourself, they are not limited in the same way when it comes to doing something to you. The power to hinder and destroy is much wider in its range; while the power to help is strictly conditioned on an action that can be helped. We are referring to advancement in duties and rights; of course, charity can be given to the most passive and inert. Benevolent-minded men may initiate charities for you; but it is human nature for others to initiate your claims of privilege and equality. Charity implies an admission of at least some kind of inferiority on the part of the recipient of the benefit. Need can claim charity but only merit can claim rights. Equality of citizenship is a something which men do not voluntarily and gratuitously give to other men. At best they will concede it when there are manifested a disposition and a capacity to take it. And even then the socially undeveloped among the strong will oppose it. AMERICAN AESOP USED BY KEITH-ALBEE'S CIRCUS New York City — (AIP) — One "umil of the Keith-Albee Circuit, now playing in New York for the vaudeville performance from "American Aesop," the book of 200 humorous stories by William Pickens. They are not only using the stories but make approachable the best job for them. Tumultuous stories. For example, they show a prison scene, with a fellow behind the bar conversing with a passerby, when they use the story of the prisoner who said he was in jail "from now on"—original expression for "life term."

LINN, Phamery, 1155 Green Bay Ave. CHICAGO TO BE MEDICAL CENTER OF THE COUNTRY CHICAGO TO BE MEDICAL CENTER OF THE COUNTRY Chicago, IL—(ANP)—With the proposed affiliation of Chicago University and the Provident Hospital and Nurse Training School, this city bids fair to become the medical center of the United States. This fact became known here Tuesday when a letter from Dr. Franklin K. McKinney, president of Chicago University Hospital to Dr. George Cleveland Hall, chief of staff and member of the board of trustees of the Provident Hospital, was made public. This letter indicates that the new institution will not only be one of the most modern institutions for the care of the sick but will offer unusual advantages to physicians, graduate and student nurses. The staff, according to McKinney, will be the best men of the medical profession in the country, after a nation wide survey, with the idea, as Dr. McLean points out, of "making these selections long enough in advance to permit them to be before taking up their new duties." "In addition," continued Dr. McLean, "to the selection of mature men for the more responsible positions, it is of the greatest importance to select young men to be trained for advancement into such positions, through fellowships in the institutions of America and Europe." Provident Hospital is one of the oldest institutions for the care of the sick and training of young colored women in the profession of nursing in the country. It is headed by Dr. George Cleveland Hall, who is one of the most eminent physicians and surgeons of the country and especially of the hospital. The institution has suffered from congestion due to lack of adequate facilities but in the face of these difficulties has continued to de efficient and effective work which merited the grade A classification by the American Hospital Association. The proposed institution will be manned almost wholly by Negroes, and will have every race and creed. The site of the new hospital has not yet been selected. Declares Record Companies Insult Colored Patrons Declares Record Companies Insult Colored Patrons Chicago—(ANP)—That Negro purchasers of phonograph records should boycott those record companies which publish records with offensive titles for the Negro trade, was the opinion expressed here Friday by Dr. Herbert A. Turner, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Dr. Turner stated that he had observed a developing tendency on the part of some companies that make records which are calculated to appeal to Negro purchasers to use an appeal which has vulgar names, language, and sentiment as a bait, and, no, not a cause, to appeal to an audience which ought to be deliberately offensive to self-respecting Negroes. "My attention has been called to a record published by the Columbia Company," continued Dr. Turner. "The title of this record is 'Mysterious Records' and the title of the publication copy which accompanies this headline repeats the use of the word 'coon' and the use of a picture of a ludicrous figure is an insult to the intelligence of the people to whom the advertising appeal is made. This advertisement and objection is made to people who observe, others show the low regard which white record makers have for colored people. "Such titles are not only bellingtick to the Negro's sense of pride, but they give other persons who read colored books a poor opinion of the taste of the race, its habits and the quality of its thought. We cannot afford to be blightened before the world for the sake of a white woman who choose to make money at the black community's richer city. The most effective way for Negroes to combat this evil practice is to cause to purchase such records."

FIRST IN REAL NEWS—PAGE THREE TO CUBA Invading Americans Ignore Cuban Laws New York.—(ANP)—Desire for gold on the part of American business interests has revived the slave trade in the Carribean, according to an illuminating article in the current issue of the Nation by Arnold Roller, who is impressed with the fact that there is very little difference between the manner in which black "slaves" are now being brought into Cuba and the method employed to bring them to North America. Cuba, of course, is an island where there are many black, brown and yellow persons. Social distinctions exist between the native whites and the mulattoes who are not able to pass, but there is no official or business discrimination, mulattoes and darker Negroes rising to positions of distinction in professional and official circles, and the laws of the island provide that there must be no discrimination between blacks and whites in hotels, cafes, and so forth, such as is practiced in America. Referring to these charges Mr. Fle- Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, president see said: I have made a complete investigation of the charges made by the Workers' Relief Committee, and Mr. Isbell and find: First, that there was much good accomplished by the Red Cross and the instances out of which grew to do with the alleged shooting of the charges of discrimination were in the minority and did not warrant the that no one connected with the Red Cross was responsible for the alleged attack on Levl Brown." "Our chapter chairman in Indian River County made a personal investigation and reports there were no disaster losses at Gifford, further, all of the Negroes in that territory are working and there is no need for Red Cross assistance in that district." Referring to the charges that the Negroes were involved in the case, Mr. Friesen declared: "We have not refused to employ colored persons. One of the very best workers we have in the colored tent city is a colored nurse, Miss Kris L. Brown, has been of great interest to us, and however, taken no Negro case workers on our staff, because we did not feel that it was necessary, but special effort has been made to assign work personnel who are entirely sympathetic. "The story of A. L. Iabell, working with the crew which was searching for dead bodies, does not at all refer to the Red Cross, as the charges in the report of the supervision of the State Board of Health, and we have no connection whatever with it; hence, we are not responsible for any treatment such as we have done, nor far as the living conditions are concerned in that area, the Red Cross workers were subjected to the same inconveniences as the Negro victim. The Red Cross workers were not far South Bay areas it was necessary for all people to be content with unsanitary and almost unlivable conditions; this has all been corrected now, both as it pertains to Negroes and white."

Cohen's Insurance Company Wins Suit From Government New Orleans, La.—(ANP)—A decision handed down in favor of the government in a case against the People's Industrial Life Insurance Company of Louisiana on March 6, 1928, was reversed by the fifth circuit court of appeals, Tuesday, composed of Judges Walker, Foster and Dawkins. The case against the insurance company was to collect approximately $150 in taxes and was brought against Walter L. Cohen, John H. Lowery and the insurance company of the time of the suit the company was known as the Peoples Benevolent Life Insurance Company and was uninterrupted. Due to a continual loss of money the company liquidated in August 1935. The insurance company with twenty stockholders. After the liquidation the company paid the government an amount in taxes but this was found insufficient and a decision was obtained which compelled the payment of $1,550. The case was taken to the U. S. court of appeals and the decision was on the grounds that the government failed to show any assets of value under the circumstances which required the insurance company be sued for enforcement of these taxes. PAGE FOUR—FIRST IN CIRCULATION FINE STRUCTURE ADORNS CAMPUS AT YATES SCHOOL When I was a barefoot kid, hurry to school, every morning over those sharp rocks which were so plentiful in my home town, Ft. Worth, where I grew up. I was much compared in the slightest with what I saw at the Jack Yates High on my visit out there this week. No nor did I ever dream in those happy school days of mine that I would ever see our boys and girls so fortunate as to be able to enjoy the camp and the school. In which those Yates' students have become accustomed to. I have often said that Ft. Worth, in her dealing with the colored people, was thirty years in advance of most, if not all, of the other cities in the country, in buildings and comforts. To make it plain what I mean, let me mention this: Over thirty-five years ago, the colored children of Ft. Worth were housed in a modern building with nearly every equipment which the school would now providing for her colored children. But that is not the question; not who had them first, but who is leading now? That's what keeps me smiling! And that smile grew and grew last Monday, as I came in sight of the campus on which is situated this wonderful school plant, which, if PROF. JAMES D. RYAN Principal Jack Yates High one was not informed, one would think was one of "Texas" famous colleges, with so magnificent and so spacious a campus. Jack Yates' High, named for one of Houston's pioneer ministers, was completed in February, 1926, and occupied the school until 1935, partly in the Third Ward. The present enrollment is 1244, including all grades from the 6th to the 11th. The building proper is a two-story brick structure containing 30 rooms, housing the literary department and the library. The shop, work and auto mechanics along with the gymnasium are located in separate buildings on the campus. Already work has begun on addition of 8 more rooms to the main building, which will include an auditorium. The Jack Yates campus covers four city lots and has been beautified and adorned by shrubbery hedges and grassy lawns. As you enter the campus on the Elgin side, you come face to face the Golden Lion, an in- animate representation of the football team which Coach Hol- MISS MARY L.

Please Stay Off This Date: TUESDAY NIGHT MARCH 19, 1929 with the noise and clamor, which one would expect from over 1200 pupils of all ages and sizes, but with just enough buzzing that you would expect to be loud like a drum. Just imagine a hall over a block long filled with boys and girls, moving with clock-like precision to their respective rooms, under the close supervision of teachers and active you have a picture of what greeted me. Who thinks that a principal of a plant like Yates High, has an easy time, should visit Principal James D. Ever, or should he ever, he seems to enjoy the work and to grow more portly as his duties grow more exacting. Well, why shouldn't he, when you consider the schools in Houston for the past sixteen PROF. J. H. RIERAS Yates' Mechanical Drawing Teacher years. For fourteen years Mr. Ryan, who is a graduate of Prairie View College and who holds a master of arts degree from Wiley College, was principal of Booker T.

Word to All Advertisers: You will certainly make a mistake if you fail to include THE HOUSTON INFORMER in your list of publications for advertising during 1929 and the succeeding years. "I believe," said Mr. Gilmore, "that with my experience in the game and the natural love for baseball in the South, that organized baseball will go big down there. my intention to interest men of the highest caliber in the sport, not a condescension league upon a sound, safe, and high-class basis." Wheatley Wildcats Tendered Banquet THE INFORMER also enjoys the largest circulation of any Negro newspaper printed in Houston or South Texas, and its circulation growth during the past year, while not startling, was sure and steady. The Phillis Wheatley Wildcat, city and South Texas high school football champions for 1928, were "wined and spoiled" by the game Thursday night. Among those programmed to deliver short addresses were: E. O. Smith, principal; O. P. DeWalt, James D. Ryan, Dr. A. E. Miller, Dr. E. Miller and Coach J. E. Codwell. Over 65,000 Buyers Are reached directly or indirectly every week by THE INFORMER, and it is estimated that these 65,000 Negroes spend in excess of $10,000,000 per annum for the necessities of life, to say nothing of luxuries and other items. Musical numbers included harp selection by DeWitt Hensley; vocal solo by Jefferson Green; selection by Wheaton quartet and instrumental rendition by Mrs. Mattie Overton-Ellen. Election of the 1929 captain and a sumptuous spread concluded an otherwise brilliant and enjoyable occasion. MORGAN CAGERS DEFEAT HOWARD IN HARD BATTLE AN AD PER WEEK IS THE BEST WAY. TO SPEAK! Washington, D. C.—Before one of the largest crowds that has ever attended a basketball game in the new Howard gymnasium, the Morgan College intercollegiate champion basketball team took the first home game from Howard, Friday night, with a first half was fast and furious. Wood slipping through to make the first score for Howard, and Williams adding a point from the foul line before Morgan could score. A field goal by Morgan, and a foul tie the score which was repeatedly tied until the last five minutes when Clark, Morgan's star right forward, broke the score by making two shots from under the basket in rapid succession. MAMMOTH PRESS ON WHICH THE INFORMER IS PRINTED The half cended with a score of 16-12 in Morgan's favor. At the beginning of the second half Howard again made the first counter, and by two remarkable goals from the floor by Simpson and by two more from the first close competition and helps of Howard victory. Howard's passing was a bit wild, as compared with Morgan's, and missed many more tries for the basket than the visitors, both from the court and the foul line. Simpson outplayed Morgan and made the return from Morgan College outjumped the "Bison ace." Simpson and Clark tied for high score honors, both receiving eleven points. During the last five minutes of play Williams was taken on personal fouls. Coach Burt sending in Louis Johnson replaced Spencer at left forward, but unlike Coates was able to slip through a field goal. Chicago, Ill.—(ANP) The annual meeting of the National Negro Baseball League, which was scheduled for Friday and Saturday, continued through Monday, as the negro team that confronted the organization. Prior to the meeting rumors were rife that all was not well and that certain delegations would cause trouble at the sessions. It was further rumored that a general reorganization would take place with new officers. Following the meeting the statement was given out that all was well and that Judge W. C. Houston had been re-elected president and that Q. J. Glimore, the secretary, had resigned to establish a lioness demeaning office. The Trades and other new policies will be released to the public later. TEXAS STARS LOSE TO WILEY CAGERS; THOMPSON STARS Marrshall, Texas—Sam Hunter's Texas Stars, arrive to Chicago and points East, were defeated here last night by Coach Long's Wiley Wildcats by the score of 42-31 in one of the fastest basketball games ever played, a national start to finish, and although the Cats led during the entire game, it was only in the closing minutes that a sensational offensive spike placed the game on ice for the locals. Wiley led at the half 19-15. The outstanding feature of the game was the sensational work of both centers. Sam Thompson, the Boley, Oklahoma, find, made an auspicious debut in free field goals and six free throws, while Ira Williams, the San Antonio center for the Stars, equalled Thompson's total with six field goals and four free throws. Runt Johnson caged five from the field for the Cats, while "Cliffy" Alexander collected the same number.

HOWARD BISONS BOOK GRID TILTS FOR '29 SEASON Washington, D. C.-The board of athletic control announces the feest-ball schedule of Howard University for 1929 as follows: Knoxville, Tenn. — (AHP) - The Knoxville College college games clerk Clark University of Atlanta, champions of the Southern conference for the past three years, after a free-friday overtime period, by a score of 22-31 in one of the fastest basketball games ever witnessed here. Facing a seasoned team of long standing, the Knoxville fire, with only one veteran, fought every inch of the way to victory, amid the shouts and cheers of several hundred enthusiasts. C. men played a remarkable grade, the work of the two freshmen, Eugene Johnson and San Salfon, was spectacular. For the invaders, "Spunk" Johnston was the high score, with Dalton Pinson him a close second. The defense squared it up six digits with the guarding of Dupree especially commendable. The game opened with the visitors getting the jump and scoring four hacks before the Bulldogs realized what was happening. However, the locals were able to score five hacks before the end and the half withdrew and another four. The first half ended with Clark leading 16-10. At the beginning of the second half it was seen that Knoxville had taken on new life and both teams mixed fast and furiously. At the end of the regular playing period the locals had to lying the score at 11-10. With the end of the conversation period Knoxville continued to play the same kind of basketball that had enabled them to overcome the early lead of Clark and then the final whistle blow the score stood 82-31.

Fieser, vice chairman of the American Red Cross, denied the charges made by the Workers' Relief Committee that Negroes had been victims of discrimination in the Florida storm area, at the hands of officials of the American Red Cross. The records showed that there had been no discrimination and that the "immediate needs of both the white and colored hurricane sufferers have been met by the American Red Cross and at the present time a rehabilitation program by which the needs of each family are studied and the necessary relief extended to enable them to regain a self-supporting basis." The charities of the Workers' Relief Committee, with headquarters in New York City, grew out of a report by former president of the Chicago branch of the American Labor Congress, a communistic organization, L. L. Label, investigator for the committee, in which he declared that Negroes were the chief sufferers and had been the victims of prejudice and cited two cases where Negroes had been shot and attacked by whites. Urban Unemployment and Agricultural Opportunities But American industrialists have invaded Cuba and established a sort of extra-territorial government, such as is complained of in China, that makes them untouchable by Cuban law. Thus hotels, restaurants and other businesses by Americans, freely discriminate against. Negroes, in spite of the Cuban law. And there are cases of American industrial plants where different and separate quarters are provided for dark Cubans, white Cubans, and Americans. After nightfall the dark Cubans are not permitted in the white Cubans' and neither in the black Cubans. Cuban is allowed in the American's section. The "slave" trade is practiced by the owners of the sugar plantations. The more sugar there is raised, or the more demand there is for sugar, the more labor is needed. It has been said that the Negroes can planters to go outside of the island for this help. The method now current, and one which has been in practice for many years, is to send to Haiti, where the Negroes speak a sort of French, and they speak English, and to import an illiterate class to Cuba to work on the sugar plantations. Of course, these Negroes are not told that they are going to be made slaves or peasants, they are subjected to persecution confined written in Spanish, the language of Cuba, which they cannot understand. While these laborers have been brought into Cuba by the boatload they are housed in great sections of the island, their laboratories are not permitted to leave, nor are outsiders allowed to come in. When these laborers are from eighty to eighty cents a day, all supplies, food, clothing, and so forth, must be bought from a sort of company store. The Negroes find themselves indebted to the (By ALBON L. HOLSEY) The National Urban League reports that there is no foundation for the statement which is going the rounds that Negro labor is being replaced with whites. Its last report shows that the labor force in the net gain which is very grafting. The general unemployment situation throughout the country, however, is not no encouraging and if we may judge from current comments on the subject, labor conditions are likely to grow steadily worse. The reason is that the labor force is increasing labor surplus due to mass production and distribution and to the diversified uses of machinery. Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, recently told a senate committee: "it is for the labor force to increase the production and reduced costs. Therefore, society must assume the responsibility of giving work to these (surplus) men." Commerce and finance regards Mr. Willard's statement as a "major angle" of the unemployment problem. It introduces at the same time a very real problem for the Negro because Negro "society" is not yet able to stand alone and certainly is not a necessary labor surplus. To further complicate the situation, the care of the white labor surplus first, leaving for the Negro the "left-overs", if any, and those here-and-there instances where employees are settlemently incumbent on Negro employment, Benjamin Saitk, discussing the unemployment of last year in the current Forbes says: "This was the first time, in this or any other civilization, when large scale unemployment accompanied a period of great economic activity." The probable reason for this certain situation in the margaritie Mr. Willard suggests, but no far off the future is concerned the remedy plantation owner, and under the necessity of staying around until next crop time. The plantation owners permit them to stay without cost because that is cheaper to them than to have to pay twenty-five dollars a head for the crop. They are not around again. Thus, these men are taken from the homes in Haiti and Jamaica and tied to the land of Cuba. In case of JamaicanMs. Roller writes, there has been some slackening in the trade, due to protections from the British government, so that in late years most of the importations have been from Haiti. In case of the Haitians and Jamaicans has increased considerably since the inception of this modern slave trade. Thus, from the total number of 70 Jamaicans and 233 Haitians who arrived in Cuba in 1912, the number rose to 27,088 Jamaicans and 35,971 Haitians in 1920, i.e., an influx of 63,000 foreign Negroes into a population of less than three million. At the beginning of 1928 it seemed as if an end would be made to the slave traffic and the "Negification" of Cuba, when the Cuban government imposed a ban on sugar to 4,000,000 tons per year. It was announced that from then on the importation of Negroes would be prohibited and that 17,000 imported Negroes would be sent back to their homeland. The international conference for the restriction of sugar production failed and Cuba declared that consequently it would remove all restrictions on the sugar output, even though the sugar still further down. More sugar means cheaper sugar and cheaper sugar requires more Negro labor. And quite recently the United Fruit Company alone obtained from the Cuban government 9,900 Negroes for work in its plantation. is as uncertain and the condition itself is distressing. Meanwhile, many opportunities in agriculture and business are open for study and development by Negro business which was conducted by the National Negro Business League shows that Negro business is lamentably and insufficiently unorganized to take care of the necessary purchasing of Negro business its equivalent in the trend of other groups. Dr. Moton in his address to the Farmers' Conference last month told the unusual opportunities offered to Negroes to own farm lands in the South. A wealthy New York business man who recently purchased some farm land in the South satisfied with the returns from his investment that he tells the renders of Manufacturer's Record that "land buy in the South is more attractive than it ever was in the West." Today's invitation to the Negro to land may, if neglected, become to tomorrow's "another wanted opportunity." INSURANCE COMPANY Little Rock.

THE HOUSTON INFOREER, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1920 Improved Uniform International Harvard Student COTHA (Dr. P. K.

This entity has continued all through the ages, even to the present time. On the occasion of Calvary the time of the crucifixion, John 12:31; Beshari 2:14; John 3:2). This announcement concerning the Conferring Council of the gospel of Christ, a great victory cost, but at an infinite cost. The prediction of the Sabbath before the coming of Christ, the eternal Son of God was given to the world, but he was "born" as a child. I. The Savior Born (Lake 2:1:1) That which had been predicted was historically fulfilled in the birth of Jesus Christ at Bethlehem. When Jesus was brought into the temple as a child, the Holy Ghost revealed to Simeon that this was the Messiah. He took the child Jesus in his arms and blessed God, declaring that he had now with his eyes seen God's salvation and that He was to be a light to lighten the Gentiles and was to be the glory of Israel. This appearance of the Savior was beralded to the shepherds by the angels as they ascribed to God the highest glory and announced peace on earth and good will to men. III. The Savior Described. 1. He seeks the lost (Luke 15:37-51) Seeking of the lost is illustrated and also sheep and goat after the one which was lost, and his replacing over his success in finding it. 3. He died for the lost (John 3:14-17) As the brazen serpent was lifted up in the wilderness by Moses, no Jesus Christ was lifted up on the cross. God sent an angel to the world for the attainment of the saints of the world. All those who believe on Him receive eternal life and therefore escape certain death. The world was not to condemn the world, but to be to salvation. 4. He knows his own (John 19:23) He outlived the lost and gives his Life for them, he has a definite knowledge of him, not only does He know him personally, but he in turn know him. 4. He keeps his own (John 19:27-30) They are Christ's sheep and because they are his sheep they have his voice and follow him. He not only give unto them eternal life but they are absolutely secure because no man is able to pluck them out of his hands. 4. Some Blessings Received through the Savior. 1. Physical strength (Acts 3:1-11) The healing of the man in man's body at the time of his birth is an example of Christ's ability to heal the body. This man had been lame from birth. Because the life of Jesus Christ was able immediately to arise—sweeze cane into his feet and ankle to walk, he was able to walk and leaped grazing God. 2. Justification (Rom 5:11-11) The one who receives Jesus Christ is moved and because he is justified, he has peace with God, the assurance that God loves him, and real joy in Christ. 3. Christ is the Supreme Example to the believer (Pill. 2:1-10). Because the Sartor became impatient with Christ, he is in the incarriage. He is able to impart life to those with whom he Is identified. He partakes in parts life, the believer is able to make him an example. He is able to express the same spirit of devotion and service in service instead of being served Spend Time With God It is the failure to spend a definite, even though it be short, time each week to think hard about problems, variables, and shallow in our spiritual experience and service.

Harvard Student Raps Labor Group In Recent Article Cambridge, Mana. —(AMP) - Writing to "The Nation," liberal publication, this week, John P. Davis of Harvard, and former Fkh faculty member, attacked labor union. "Capital has never presented an minister and malevolent a front to the Negro labor as have the white labor unions," said Davin. "It is far less criminal to work labor twelve hours a day in sweat-shop at a minimum wage without safety appliances than it is to rob the Negro laborer out of his job by a self-righteous attack against the 'open shop.' I know a Negro bricklayer, a skilled workman, whose father was a bricklayer before him. He has no other vocation. He has spent his best years learning his trade. He has a family, and the winter is comed. He would join a union glut but white unions won't admit him. Our liberal 'wriends' us urge not to irritate white unions by being 'scabe.' They tell us to wait until they can persuade white unions by being 'scabe.' Who can wait when winter has come and there is no coal, no food? "Negro boys looking for a vacation find a blank wall. They are not allowed to appreciate. They are refused admission to white unions. And yet, well-meaning social workers work to overthrow the negroes of the Negro. In the face of these facts can you give me any good reason for being a Socialist or joining with the "organized forces of labor to overthrow a despotic capitalistic regime"? Why shouldn't Negro labor organize? don't every attempt of labor with capital? Why shouldn't we join in this cuttown fight and help capital thrift white labor? This, it seems to me, is the only way to make white labor see the light. And so urge all Negro laborers to adopt as their "Harrass" to the open shop and to bell with the unions." Socialist Bloc To Organize Negroes New York City - (ANP) - Announcement was made Wednesday that Frank R. Crosswash, Negro Socialist and labor organizer, has been selected to organize on a national scale Negro citizens for the United Colored Socialists of America. "This is the first real and substantial effort made by the American Socialist party to reach the members of my race," said Mr. Crosswash in a recent interview. "The Negro masses," he said, "are tired of treading the weather-beaten political path strewn with the wreckage of deception, broken promises, and politico-economic ties." Mr. Crosswash was formerly one of the organizers of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Previously, he was an organizer for the American Federation of Labor. In 1924, Mr. Crosswash was the Socialist candidate for secretary of state. He was for congress from the 19th District (19th District) of the campaign and ran far ahead of the other Socialist candidates. OFFICE PHONE CAPTTOL 1459 HOURS: 9:30A. M. TO 12:30 M. DR.

Negro Insurance Companies Plan Publicity Effort Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—Announcement has just been made by the Association of Publishers' Representatives, advertising solicitors for a number of leading colored newspapers, that an extensive cooperative advertising campaign sponsored by a group of our most progressive insurance companies will begin its appearance early in the year. The purpose of this campaign is to sell Negro insurance companies more throughly to colored people and to popularize the idea of more adequate insurance protection for members of the race. Advertisements which carry this message are scheduled to appear monthly throughout the year of 1929 in a selected list of newspapers. The companies which are the original sponsors for this much needed project include, Century Life Insurance, Life Insurance, Life Pyramid Mutual, Security Life, Southern Aid Society, Unity Industry, Underwriters Mutual and Victory Life. All are members of the National Insurance Association of which Newark is president and W. Ellis Stewart of Chicago is secretary. COLORED BAND HEADS PARADE IN TOURNAMENT COLORED BAND HEADS PARADE IN TOURNAMENT Los Angeles, Cal.—(ANP)—Thousands of spectators who crowded the streets and by-ways of Pisaadana on New Year's Day to see the Rose Tournament, saw a beautiful float swing majestically down the street at the street of the long column occupied by a Negro band in black and white uniforms. It was Jim Erwin and Sonia Movie Orchestra. None of the spectators who had witnessed the historical parade for years and years could remember when a colored band had headed the procession before. The theme of the parade this year was "The Great War." The float was the Glendale entry entitled "A Lady of Shakot." But even this poetic dream itself did not draw any more applause than Erwin's float. Erwin's band has been about two years after a long service in radio work at Kansas City, who has been a big lifeline from the beginning. Among the personnel are: Jim Erwin, drums; Jim Erwin, JE, piano; Dorchner Erwin, xawpone and clarinet Dorchner Erwin, hanjo; John Monder, trumbone, and others who are all artists.

Mr. Hylan, introduced by Mrs. Irene Morman Blackstone and J. Dalmus Steele as the next "mayor of New York" in the city, "in all seriousness, and then went on flaying the present administration. Hylan told of the many things he had done for colored people in New York when he was mayor. At attacking the mayor, he was on the transit commission on the five cent fare, Hylan told of the disposal of the bus franchise in the city. He also declared that the city officials declared he knew too much and for that reason, he was thrown into the police. A man who could be handled substituted. CONFIDENCE MAN SLAIN BY OFFICER New Orleans, La.—(ANP)—Lee J Williams from Port Arthur, Texas tried his "small change" ruse too hard and is dead at Charity Hospital, having been shot by a policeman Sunday. Dosms of grocery and drug stores has been victimized recently by orders for small purchases to be delivered to certain residences with change for a five, ten or twenty dollar bill. When the delivery was made, Williams would hold up the errand boy and vanish with the change. Sunday night Williams phoned a drug store for some cigars with instructions to send twenty dollars淹令. When the boy arrived, he was grabbed and the officer in hiding shot Williams in the back, the bullet taking an upward course lodging in his neck. FIRST IN INFLUENCE—PAGE SEVEN Chicago Specialist Disagrees With Theory Held By California Scientist Chicago, IL—(ANP)—The theory set forth by Prof. Samuel J. Holmes of the department of Zoology of the University of California, that the black-skinned man is less liable to the skin than Caucasians, was refuted here Tuesday by Dr. T. K. Lawless, local physician and dermatologist, in an interview with a representative of the Associated Negro Press. Professor Samuels in a report to the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, said: "There are several diseases against which the Negro is more or less protected. These include both diverse ailments as skin cancer, bolls, scarlet fever, erysipse, diphtheria, and to-a less degree malnutrition. Commenting on this statement and the statistics cited by Professor Samuels in his article, Dr. Lawless, who is a lecturer at Northwestern University in the department of bermatology and who has specialized in diseases of the skin in leading unintended infections, America and Europe pointed out: "Statistics are very flexible. Their chief purpose being, for some thinkers, to give corrobative support to some points, which have to their own mental satisfaction, previously been proven. Such is the impression given by the California professor, who endeavored to prove that certain germs—the streptococcus—prefer 'white meat to dark,' in other words Negroes are less susceptible to diseases whose etiological factor enters the host usually by the dermal path. "He cites such diverse aliments as chickpeas, cereals, apples, diphtheria, fever, and to a leses degree mecales." "The truth of the matter is this—according to the best in medical thought, as to measles, exposure to cold, the race, sex, etc., exert very little influence in this disease." Diphtheria presents an individual problem. It is more apt to attack members of the 'more well-to-do class.' HEALTH AND BEAUTY FOR THE NEW YEAR; SANE LIVING WILL HELP TO GAIN BOTH What about your appearance? Does each new year reveal heavy impurities of the hand of time? If so, there is something wrong with either your health or your habits. Nowadays, good looks are within the reach of every woman even after she has lost the freshness of youth. Of course, the older you grow, the more need there is for systematic care to keep your skin, hair, hands, finger nails, and figure in good condition. Of beauty, and many women who nourish the lost attractions of their debenture days would be astonished at the rejuvenating results they could obtain by closer acquaintance with soap and hot water. It doesn't matter if your clothes aren't imports from Paris, but if you wear simple and becoming lines, and if your accessories are always clean and dainty. Your list of New Year resolutions won't be complete unless you include a few rules for the improvement of your health and general appearance. For example, if you lose the resolution to obey the rules you have made until they become habits. SOUTHERN GETS NEW DORMITORY AT BATON ROUGE SOUTHERN GETS NEW DORMITORY AT BATON ROUGE Baton Rouge, La.—(ANP)-State Superintendent T. H. Harris of Louisiana has first announced that bids will soon be let for a new dormitory at Southern University, which structure will be a fire-proof building and will cost approximately $100,000. One of Southern University's most difficult problems has been that of trying to accommodate the host of students who seek to obtain their undergraduates and graduate institution for the training of Negro youth. For the past ten years the refrain "more than a hundred students have been turned away because of insufficient dormitory space" has been the new mammoth dormitory, a refrain might continue to be heard, but there will be at least 120 or more youth who will dwell upon "Old Scott's Bluff" and interpret world civilization. A class of the building show that it will be 82 feet by 22 feet, the exterior of Hammond gray brick. It will contain two floors, fifty-four rooms, and basement for trunks, also a separate steam-heating unit. There will be a cigarette parlor, a closet room for students having two lockers each, four general bath rooms. oes and those from small communi- tions than others. Why? As a result of crowded living conditions in the larger cities, close contact of the people living in the rural areas brings into play the self-pe- fective process known as "natural immunity." But unyielding conditions of Living had housing, under- inishment, etc., increase the dispu- tion of the lens favored classes to disease in general. This applies also with racial conditions and accounts for the high incidence of the disease among the colored population in a given locality. "With scarlet fever the chief difficulty hinges largely on the ability of the general medical profession to distinguisher an erythematous color in a dark skin. This is an observation based on a wide experience. But the question is whether the uninitiated and say, 'Negroes and dark-skinned races are decided less liable to it than white races.' The real question here is really one of diagnostic acumen rather than the presence of disease. A second very potent factor mitigating against the reliability of statistics is that among the most common causes of meauses and scarlet fever are given 'home treatment.' Medical advice is not sought. As to built, the frequency among Negroes is so common, that to even include the disease among the other heppeas a glaring unfamiliar with medical literature. Skin cancers are rare in Negroes, but relatively frequent among the light-skinned. "So the same cold statistics which can be used to prove a point can also be used to refute the same. Out of an experience handed upon years of close application to the field, we can see that all types and colors, we are positive that in that great democracy of disease, the various cressors have no preference for the color of their pabulum, but they see the optimum in environmental setting - lowered resistance, increased condition, and undernourishment." Now is a good time to take stock of yourself in order to determine just what progress you have made during the past year. First, there is the all-important question of your health. Have you enjoyed life and had a buckle? If you are not feeling perfectly well, don't take any chance. See a doctor at once. Even if you have none of these symptoms, it is wise to have a complete physical examination at least once a year. You can find information from some organic disturbance and therefore require special diet or treatment, maintained by simple food, at least eight hours sleep a night, of fresh air, rest and recreation. As a further reminder, good health is maintained by daily and wash your hands with soap and water frequently, especially before touching food. If you work hard during the day, combine your hours of leisure with some form of restful recreation. If you have plenty of leisure, cultivate enough intime contact with your family to become moddy or to think too much about yourself. and three long corridors on each floor. The architectural design shows the main entrance to be more beautiful than any of the entrances of buildings in this university campus. In addition to this main entrance, there will be four other ones on the sides and at the rear of the building. The complete structure will cost approximately $100,000. First arrangements did not call for a fire-proof building. In addition, the State Board of Education, the position was taken that all state schools should build for permanence, and as a result orders were given to the architect to revise the plans, substituting concrete for wood, making the structure more durable. This dormitory will be the largest building on the campus, the length excelling that of the science hall and the academic hall by at least 30 or 40 feet. It is expected that the structure will be the close of the third quarter, and it will be in all probability home of college women.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1929 REAL SITUATION AT LOCAL HOSPITAL In last week's issue we mentioned the nominations for the colored board for 1929, and at the hour of writing this editorial not a single person nominated and elected for this new board has been the most of them stating that they could not serve on the board of the Houston Negro Hospital under the present system and regime. The Negro board has never attempted to pit itself against the white advisory committee of this institution, but every time the Negro board has endeavored to act in accordance with its constitutional rights and authority, the white advisory committee, counseling with the colored board, has met in "excessive session" and either reversed or ignored the actions of the Negro board. The hospital's constitution deputes to the Negro board of directors the employment and discharging of superintendent and financial agent; but when one member of the white advisory committee reached a decision that the colored financial agent was not, he simply saved, judged by membership certificates sold by him, the only member of the school's board on this hospital attache, whom the color board had employed, that his services would not be needed after December 31, 1928. The first knowledge that the colored board had of such high-handed, tyrannical and autocratic order was when the erstwhile financial agent informed certain Negro board members that he had received "his walking papers" from said white member of the advisory committee. Now, to show the inconsistency of this same white advisory committee: When Prof. I. M. Terrell, the first superintendent of the hospital and later financial agent, was accused by a certain hospital attack of committing every crime in the criminal catalog, from stealing canned goods from the pantry to an attempted criminal attack upon one of the nurses, this white advisory committee, without "undertaking an inquiry into the conduct of the office," wrote in a letter to Mr. Terrell's accuser were true or false, contended that the time and arrived for Mr. Terrell to sever his relations with the hospital. However, when the present superintendent, who has not been able to work harmoniously with the colored staff, and who has shown almost disrespect and discourtesy to the Negro board, as well as virtually inflaming many of the colored citizens against her management of the institution, failed miserably to sell the hospital to the colored group; and when the Negro board took the position that the future well-being of the institution warranted a response for 1990, this same white advisory committee, which gave Mr. Terrell the ax to the gate, voted "that the charges against the superintendent be tabled, and that if at the end of three months after the new year there appears to any basis for dissatisfaction, the advisory committee will itself undertake an inquiry into the conduct of the office." To substantiate our contention that the white advisory committee has precipitated an issue and brought about an ugly situation, as it relates to the hospital's management and operation by Negroes, we reproduce herewith some of the "decisions" and "eclipses" received by the hospital and autocratic body, as written and dispatched by the secretary of the white advisory committee to the secretary and members of the Negro board of directors: "Following the meeting of the Advisory Committee of the Houston Negro Hospital, on December 17th, I am conveying to you for presentation to the Board, the decisions at which the Committee arrived. "1. It was voted that the following nominations be presented for membership on the Board for the year 1929: J. B. Grigby, Chairman; Homer McCoy, J. S. Scott, C. H. McGruder, W. E. Miller, Gumile Andrews, Virginia B. Miller. "2. Regarding the membership of the Staff for 1929, it was voted (a) That the members of the present colored staff be con- Americas's Greatest Weekly Newspaper Ahmed; (b) that the attached list of white physicians be appointed for the year; or pending the construction of a new building for negro patients by St. Joseph's Infirmary. (C) That all such appointees provide personal history data according to a form to be supplied, and that acceptance of appointment will involve an agreement to support the administration and further the purpose of the Hospital so long as such appointees remains a member of the Staff. (d) That in addition the active Staff, other physicians of good standing, and when approved by the authority may receive the privilege of admitting and caring for patients in the Hospital, but without the privileges of membership on the active Staff. “3. Regarding the present Constitution and By-laws of the Staff, it was voted to recommend to the Board that these be held invalid in so far as they undertake to define membership of the Staff of the conditions of membership on the methods of conferment such as membership of the Commission. The conference for so far as they undertake to define conditions for the admission of patients to the Hospital. Both of these matters lie outside the field of discretion of the Staff.” “4. Regarding the admission of patients it was voted to recommend that, in accordance with general practice, such admission be made by the Superintendent when the patient is presented by a member of the Staff, or by a physician or surgeon to whom the provided information is accepted. That may case presented by a physician other than the indicated, or may emerge for any or exceptional case not provided for by this regulation, be ruled upon by Dr. Slaughter during the year 1929.” On the morning 1929, I received a conference to be on, D. C., on the to-supposed by the question of the position. The recently to-renounce war a new battleships we ants for congress the conference to be on the to-supposed by the leadin's and idealists idealist is always an abstract theory in crete, responsibility bookkeeping can balance his account in his figures and from an actual tical statemanship agencies and meth "5. That the Hospital undertake, as soon as it is found to be financially possible, the installation of adequate X-ray and laboratory equipment. That Dr. Shaughter be empowered to plan such arrangements, it being understood that the plans, cost and method of payment, shall be approved by the Advisory Committee before they are given effect. 6. The Advisory Committee that the charge against the Superintendent be tabled, and that if at the end of three months after the new year there appears to be any basis for dissatisfaction, the Advisory Committee will itself undertake an inquiry into the conduct of the office." For the past several months reports have emanated from certain quarters at the Houston Negro Hospital that all the colored doctors were incompetent and inefficient, and that ere long the staff would consist mainly, if not wholly, of white doctors; and now the white advisory committee selects and designates, without conferring or counseling with the Negro board, the following white doctors, terming them as "consultants". Drs. E.W. Appleton, Bertie Barratt, Paul W. Resenberry, J. H. Robert, L. Cox, Gavin Haindon, Sidney Israel, Robert A. Johnston, Allen Kyle, John B. Legnard, Allen L. McMurray, J. C. Michael, J. M. Mitchner, A. Park, A. R. Murdie, P. H. Scardino, Louis J. Spivak, Earl W. Thomas and Carl B. Young. While the white advisory committee also took upon itself the task of reappointing the colored hospital staff, it was more a political gesture than anything else; for in the very next breath or act the advisory committee nullified and outlawed the constitution and by-laws of the hospital staff, which the Negro board had approved. The doctors and surgeons at the cruel mercy of one or two tyrants who seem to dominate and control the white advisory committee. Every time the Negro board insisted upon exercising its constitutional rights, one of the members of the advisory committee has held out the "sad and sorry spectacle" of the hospital being turned over to the city, and the race thereby losing an opportunity to enjoy such privileges for its professional men and women; but losing such privileges is losing them, and we would just as soon Negro doctors ousted by the city than adroitly eliminated by some scheming and pseudo-clever tyrant and czar. WHEN WILL WE LEARN SOME SENSE? A local white theatre, which issued an edict during 1927 excluding Negroes from said playhouse on Saturdays and Sundays, has recently revoked the "Negro ban," and numerous Houston blacks are as jubilant as if they had located a hidden treasure of gold or some other precious metal. When this exclusion edict was originally issued, The Informer took the position that, if Negroes were not allowed to attend this theatre on all nights of the week, they should have more sense and self-respect than to go on the days and nights allotted and set aside for the race. Many local Negroes trotted out all kinds of excuses and explanations for this white theatre's exclusive decree, advancing the argument that Negroes were so noisy and rowdy on Saturdays and Sundays—as if these same boisterous and uncouth blacks would not and did not attend the shows on the other five days and nights of the week. Still another reason was trotted out by the ebony-hued apologists, who insisted that whites attended in such large numbers on Saturdays and Sundays that many of them were forced to stand during the show, while Negroes were occupying seats in their jim-crow balcony; these black defenders of the white playhouse's policy in excluding Negroes on said days and nights further arguing that the Negro attendance was not sufficient on said days and nights to warrant the theatre management in reserving the balcony for the sons and daughters of Ham. The latter argument was fallacious on its 'very face, for Houston Negroes lead their racial brothers and sisters in Texas, if not the entire South, in attending shows on Saturday and Sunday nights. Really, so many local blacks attend shows and theatres on Sunday nights that some of the churches look like a deserted village day nights that some of the churches look like a deserted village. With keen and fierce competition from two other theatres in the same field, pulling hundreds of its white customers away, this local playhouse has not only recinded its former ban on Negroes, but has even given the dusky patrons more space in the balcony. Now, to show our lack of those finer attributes and sensibilities which constitute race and men of red blood and self-respect, scores of local Negroes are broadcasting the fact that this white theatre now permits blacks to attend every day and night, and literally urging and influencing other Negroes to patronize this playhouse which excluded them on certain nights for fully two years. If there is any other race in the world, which would have continued patronizing such a place, or would even now consent to attend its shows after having been excluded for any period of time, The Informer would like do behold such species of the human family. Little wonder is it that other races regard us as a racial joke and treated us as children; for in many respects, we do not have or exercise the sense and judgment of children; and whatever insult is heaped upon the race, even where we do not have to submit to such, we willingly accept same and then have the brazen audacity to try to offer excuses and apologies for the persons and roles helping such health upon us. Listen, folk, until we stop acting so silly and show more horse sense and racial self-respect, let's not get "all hot up," when members of other races, who note our basin acts, refer to and call us "boys."

When we, as a race, reach the point where we can put and force personal differences and wings our forces and centralize our efforts in one direction for a common cause, then, and only then, will we win the respect and admiration of the world. I suppose that Negroes mainly will read these lines and they will have a significance which far transcends any limited racial application. The American people have ceased to take their situation itself because of the situation itself because a scrap of paper when it suits the mood of the people to make it so. A great publicist defies the part of the constitution which does not suit his taste and fancy, and encourages others to like defiance, without a word of rebuke whose sworn duty it is to safeguard that instrument in its integrity. It is interesting to listen to the local denunciations of our NGR advocate of equal rights, seemingly heeded of the fact that the nation is now under siege by the cold war, with blown of sufficient force and frequency may heat over the coldest metal to the molten point. The moralists express amusement at President Coolidge for presenting the idea of a nuclear in one hand and a request for ten new battleships in the other. To the pragmatic statesman, there is no moral inconsistency. Of course, England will renounce war if convinced that America is the superior in naval power.

He knows I ain't the kind-a girl t' get fresh with an' I wouldn't stay here a minute if they was to try it. Pop's been a good, kind fren' t' me ever since I come here, three months ago, an' I ain't goin' to let no two-cent hoofer down him to my face," June's voice was sharp. JIMMY IS REPULSED Jimmy lounged back in his chair and shrugged his shoulders carelessly, but there was a satisfied look in his eyes, as if he had found out all he wanted to know. "Well, I just thought I'd see how the land lay, Baby. Seeing as there ain't any competition, I guess I'll push in my little oar." "Of all things . . . . . .

"Let me tell yo' one thing, Mr. Hoofer, if there wasn't another man in the whole world but yo' an' I was dying fo' a man I'd drap yo' in the river an' say 'good ridance.'" Jimmy laughed easily; he liked to see June's eyes flash fire. "An' anyway," went on the girl, angered further by the man's apparent indifference to her (Continued on Page 4) Interesting, Entertaining and Instructive GEORGE R. SCHUTLER Editor The SPRU HY don't you gimme a break, Baby?" Jimmy Nugent, chief hoofer at the Club Cleo, leaned over one of the club's small tables, his face carelessly intent as he faced June Kane, the club's youngest chorus girl. For some reason Jimmy had "taken" to June right off the bat. Not that June was so beautiful; her bright eyes and black, shiny hair were duplicated at least four times in the club's chorus, while her smooth, brown skin and red mouth were by no means uncommon. Yet there was something different about June; a freshness, a remoteness from the sordid atmosphere of the club. Now as she sat there Jimmy saw the hot blood surge under the velvety skin, her tiny brown hands clenched themselves fiercely. "Lissen, I tole yo' befo' I ain't givin' no breaks to nobody." Her soft southern voice was slightly husky with rising temper. "How do I know?" taunted Jimmy, grinning suddenly. "I don' care whether yo' believe me or no," she muttered, and Jimmy laughed aloud. "Oh, so you're saving the breaks for Boots, maybe," there was a keenness in his eyes that belied the raillery in his voice. JUNE IS INSULTED June's head jerked up, her black eyes snapped. "Yo' . . ." "Boots sure comes regular every night," Jimmy interrupted, nodding toward a distant table. Involuntarily June raised her head and, following his nod with her eyes, met the sleepy-eyed gaze of Boots Holmes, Harlem's most notorious banker, gambler and bootlegger. She shivered suddenly. "I ain't the only girl in the club," she said, lowering her eyes; "I hate him!" Jimmy narrowed his eyes, his voice came low and insinuating: "Or maybe you're saving 'em for Pop, our beloved manager." June sat erect, two red spots glowing beneath the rouge and powder on her cheeks. "Pop!" she gasped. "Why, yo' dirty-mouthed hoofer! Pop's ole nuff fo' my pappy!" "That don't mean a thing." Jimmy leaned across the table. "He takes good care of you. I notice he don't make no date for you like he does the rest of the girls and he don't stand no handling from wise guys."

Jimmy was always there behind her with a laughing remark that turned the customer's attention away while June made her getaway. Now she had hurt him; June sighed unconsciously. The band moanged its way to the end of the "Graveyard Blue" and with a start the girl remembered that the chorus was due, on in a few minutes for the finale. She jumped up and ran hastily across the floor. As she passed Boot's table the man leaned out and grasped her wrist in a heavy hand. "Jen a minute, Baby," his saddle-colored face was puffy with excessive drinking, his eyes shone greedily as they passed over the girl's sparsely covered body. "Jen stop a minute... I want a talk to you." Curing beneath his breath, Booeds watched her disengage through the door. "I'll be here," she said. "I'll be here." Jone breathed a mild sigh of relief as she stepped out of the office and down the iron step to the stairs. The girls were coming from their box, but like roses as she ran down the stairs.

THE GIRL IS WORRIED June was worried When she looked in the mirror for a last powdering ail she could see was Jimmy's hurt eyes. It bothered her. It followed her back up the iron steps to the dim doorway that, half hidden by imitation palms, opened on the dancing floor. It was June's fixed the door she found the girls already on the floor dancing their heads off. She stumped wearily against the door of Pop's office. It was all all it was worrying, now she'd have to call Hill the second chorus, where she did a little tap dance, and get the devil from the girls for making a solo entrance. It was also that they fuss me to death, she thought drearily. Nothing mattered much all of a sudden. Maybe if she told Jimmy she had to go back to the room. That's just what she would do. Wills they were doing the last chorus Jimmy would be right beside her in the center of the time of girls and was so very good that she was sorry. Suddenly the low murmur of voice shrited through her absorption. I'm evidently Pop had a visitor in his office. Elly June learned there and before, she might get a hot tip on the numbers. JUNE OVERMEARS THINGS And the world could hear only an occasional word, three gradually the volcano grew louder. "Wig, man, she'll worth more! Two hundred bucks." It was Pop, excluding Sheiggany. "Nayway, I can't know," she says. "Ah, come on, Pop, you're me," I said, "but it's a busy house. You're a�bro. In a " I'm watching for a lot of the man's fun willin' I pay well for her." Outside June twisted her red lips, bargaining for some time to go to the park. For the hundredth time she raised thanks to the Lord that had made Pop her protector. The voices went on. "What a new show good; never bin hundred an' I crave fresh fruits to someother," Pop's voice was plain- tive. Yes what I wanta, Pop," went on the husky voice. "I ain't had no fresh fruit in a long while." "But I bin avin' this 'n' go 'up," said the man, "I am a good man." "All the more reason you let's me have her." Suddenly June recognized him the voice of the man was a good boota himself, after some girl. Lord help her! June shuddered as she remembrance of her face was dampness of his hand on her arm. "I'll give you" three hundred, Booty voice was suddenly sharp with the边ve of the ant. "Three hundred," three hon— I'll take it, " said Pop, and there was the rustle of�ing paper. "Tonight!" I said.

June curled her lips; a well planned trap for the unfortunate girl, for the club's dressing rooms had only one exit and that was up the iron steps and through the performer's door. With that door locked anybody behind it was a prisoner unless Pop let them out. "Wonder who she is . ." she thought and then in another minute June was on the floor, dancing beside Jimmy, and all thoughts of Pop and Boots left her mind. Loosely it hung about her waist while Jimmy, body edged closer to the girl on his other side, gave her plenty of room. "Say, Jimmy," it was the girl on the other side whispering.

Jimmy was coming toward her; hardly she faced Pop again. "Air's it hot tonight!" her voice was purposively light. "To' said it, Rabe... Say, how about a little cold ginger ale?

(He'd show Jimmy she didn't care how many parties he went to with Mane.) IN POP'S OFFICE It was stuffy in the office with the door closed. I could think of asking Pop to leave the door open. Jimmy might think she was watching for him to pass. Her head acted and she felt dreadfully old and tired. Pop talked and he passed slowly; Pop talked a lot about nothing and June said "yes" and "no" mechanically at short intervals. More minutes passed. Poststeps passed the door; she could hear the subdued clump of feet on the iron stairs. How time dragged. "Guess, I better be goin!" she said suddenly, rising to her feet.
