Alleged Stealing In Porters' Brotherhood Finally Gets "Airing"
New York.—(ANP)—After repeated suggestions and demands from various agencies that A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car-Porters, make some public report on the disposition of the more than a quarter of a million dollars collected from and for Pullman porters, Frank R. Crosswalt, one of the high officers of the brotherhood, has just issued a statement in which he charges that much of the money begged from Pullman porters and accepted from the Garland Fund was stolen and otherwise diverted from the purpose for which it was given. Crosswalt's statement accuses Randolph of first trying to avoid a disruption in the business brought about a disagreement between him (Crosswalt) and Randolph, and the latter's apparent demand for the porters to open discussion of their personal differences. Crosswalt defines the real issues as follows: the six national officers, four of the national officers, age of the brotherhood because convinced that Roy Lanier had the idea of the brotherhood in the hindering of the brotherhood's financial affairs*, Mr. Crosswalt has mentioned four officers, but a majority of the membership of the brotherhood has ceased to function because the brotherhood has experienced lack of responsibility, integrity, and honesty*. Crosswalt makes the following specific charges:

Civil War Veteran Answers Last Call
Middletown, Conn.—(ANP) George Washington, ex-shave, will be honored in a civil honor. He fought with valor through the Civil War with the Union Army and was a record.

His long time owner, Miss Corrine Wetmore, was given his celebration on 9th birthday month. Washington refused to leave for a major domain in the family.

NEGRO ATTACK
STORY PROVEN
UTTERLY FALSE
New York.—A reader of the article, “I Investigate Lynchings,” in the January American Mercury magazine, by Walter White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, forwards from New Orleans a newspaper clipping reporting the discrediting of a “Negro attack” story.
The New Orleans States of Feb. 16, tells how a young married woman had told the police a “wild story” of an attack in a vacant downtown lot, by a “big Negro.” Half the police force and a number of citizens were combing the neighborhood “with thoughts of lynehing in their minds” when her father appeared, pooh-poohed the girl’s story and said she had recently quarrelled with her husband.
The “Negro attack” flurry ended by the arrest of the woman’s husband, charged by her with giving her a beating.

New York.—The Association of the Bar of New York elected to membership on February 13, 1929, Francis E. Rivers, a prominent New York attorney. Mr. Rivers thus achieves the distinction of being the first attorney of color to be admitted into one of the most exclusive and distinguished legal organizations in America.
Among the leaders of the Bar Association are: Charles Evans Hughes, the president of the association; Chief Justice William Howard Taft, Henry W. Taft, Louis Marshall, Elizhu Root, Henry L. Stimson, as well as many other attorneys of international reputation. Rigorous admission requirements make the membership supporting these leaders the aristocracy of the American bar. Written endorsements from at least eight association members together with a fine reputation and record as a lawyer are indispensable for an applicant to be even considered for admission. This combination of brilliant leadership and well-tested and proved membership has, for the past 50 years, made the opinion of the bar association decisive on questions of law reform and enforcement.
An impressive showing both as to president of the N. A. A. C. F. and endorsers and personal record enabled chairman of its national legal com- Mr. Rivers to effect admission into mittee.

National Benefit To Enter Illinois; Annual Meet Held
Washington, D. C.—(ANP) The thirteenth annual meeting of the stockholders of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company was held in the home office, 609 F Street, N. W. Rutherford, Md. Fifths of the outstanding shares of stock were represented. Reports were submitted by R. H. Rutherford, president-treasurer, S. W. Rutherford, and other various officers of the corporation. The stockholders were in session an entire day, and it is a matter of sincere satisfaction to all of them that the stockholders of the whole day there was not a single dissenting vote or an inharmonious proceeding. In other words, harmless and uncontested voting of the day. All of the old officers were recalled and also the present of the board. Two additions to the board of directors were made; viz. C. L. Washburn, prominent, and John W. Roxborough, engaged in estate, estate, estate, Detroit. C. E. Lucas received a promotion by election to an assistant recipient.
A revised constitution and by-laws was adopted. This revised constitution becomes necessary to accommodate the general expansion of the corporation and to meet the requirements of modern business. National Benefit has far outgrown its old constitution and by-laws.
It is the purpose of National Benefit to enter the Illinois insurance field before the beginning of summer. To Louis C. Washington is due the decision of the National Benefit official board to enter Illinois. His election to the board of directors is recognition of a business man of importance, energy, and responsibility.
A general agency has also been opened in Iowa, under the direction of Atty. C. P. Howard, of Des Moines.

If DuBose Heyward meant to write an allegory in "Mamba's Daughters" which was chosen as the outstanding book for February by the Literary Guild—he succeeded. If he did not mean to be the aboriginal, she had the same effect. "Mamba's Daughters," whether the author intended or not, is a pageant of the progress of a race, from emancipation to the present, or even the future.
Mamba, the protagonist, is a fine, shrewd character, magnificent in her very unmoral attitude toward "her white folks" whom she adopted and was given the end of the past. Mamba's daughter, Hagar, who adopts the alias of Baxter, "for business purposes," is like crude oil, heavy, clumsy, strong, but the necessary lubricant of the world's machinery. Lisag, Hagar's daughter, and Mamba's granddaughter, the third generation, the refined product of the previous two years, is a slim, little-guated, refined, velvet, white-billed, lily-stirring on bosom of the swamp. And therein is the allegory of the story; the "slow-moving pageant of a climbing race." For Mamba is the generation immediately following emancipation; the people who earned their living as domestics; whose pride expressed itself in having standing with the white folks; who looked forward to the second person. The generation for the full expression of their own ambition and pride of race.
By the same token, so is Hagar, her daughter, the next generation of laborers, tillers of the soil, workers in mines and mills. Emancipated from domestic service, because of its very strength, he studied and lack of adaptability in the delusion of revolutions of house service, yet a strong generation, laying the foundation of economic independence to oilsome work, and a certain dumb yet potent notion of thrift. Hard-fighting, hard-drinking, independent, powerful; taking its picturesque heart, it is the most forced, unlettered, yet with respect for those who would come after it, with refinements and culture. And helping that very next generation by its hard won wealth. Such was Hagar; such the second generation.
And then comes Lissa, the daughter of Hagar, the third generation since emancipation. Lissa's best friend's heart was a better life. Delighted with a wonderful gift of song—the Negro's gift to America—a Mamba keeps her away from Hagar, as a thing too delicate and radiant to be soiled by contact with the huge strength of the free living, hard-drinking, labor-loving, unconscious mother. The infrequent, unconscious Blowing after every interview between Hagar, who had walked the long, hot dusty miles between the phosphate camp and the trysting place, and Mamba, guarding the flower-like perfection of Lissa, were more pathetic than satisfying. Hagar felt this, but the went on piling up the savings that eventually spelled freedom for the girl.
And so the third generation of the race fawners into perfection; is education with its bronze and magnolia perfection, and flies away northward-to. And for all the opportunity awaits. And for all the opportunity second generation; for all its fighting, drinking, laboring,打破 unconscionable bonds, upholding unjustful instinct; its upiness, its ignorance it finds and points to the way for the makes possible its burgeoning into full bloom of opportunity. For Haitian money but the prayer-book with the name and address of the Episcopal church you could girl-stay and have protection as she studied. That same unfortunate clergyman who had vanity his male name and had a reputation against the church of superstition and ignorance and debasing practices
Whether allegory or merely a detailed history of events, *Mammalia* is the modern Nerro in all phases of life, lowly yet upward scaling of life, slowly yet upward scaling of life, neatly and upward scaling of life, educated and ignorant, that has yet been done. The canvas of the novels of the modern Nerro is most confined to Charleston, South Carolina and its vicinity. The New Yorker, in its own way, ingrudient. From "Pory" the race has proclaimed. From "Pory" the race has proclaimed. From "Pory" the race has proclaimed. Evanescent reminder of Caffair Fish and their origin. But the author has not hesitated when a situation prepares to take its logical conclusion. His white people, whose lives run contemptuously, so much not so much like characters in a story, as real beings dropped into our lives. Northern whites and their hastily assumed venerable vener—the women and the walker in a way Athinon "puts it over" his wife and the social situation. Saint Wentworth is really the book of many strange to find a novel with one white man for a hero and three Nerro women, only touch here and there, but when that changes the course of many lives. And Saint Wentworth is one of the most lovable characters you may meet.
For years the Negro has complained that the novels written about us have not stressed the cultured, re-fined, educated Negro, he who has been through college, rides in automobiles, paints pictures, writes books, sings classic songs, lives in beautiful homes, attends cultured churches of his own, does not go to cabarets, and is not a decadent replica of the white man's worst. For years we have deplored that we are constantly being shown in cross sections that do us no credit. And yet, too often when we ourselves write of our so-called best society, we are so anxious to exhibit that best that we "point with pride" in a manner uncomfortably like a child showing off its doll-house to a skeptical grown-up. And when, sometimes our friends on the other side have attempted the same kind of description, their attitude is patronizing, superior, as if one were admiring that same child because it knows how to pour tea at a doll's party.
Dulbe Heyward now solves the Goddard knot of this strange problem. He doesn't know where to go. Nearly without help off or patronizing. He does it by the very simple expence of a simple calculation.

All quite natural—and let Lisa, the climber, the third-generation, when she tells Mama of her first social evening—"They seem to be nervous, and all the time they're trying their darnedet to white." The author put his finger unerringly on the sore spot in the social fabric of the Negro?
There are so many high points in the book that a mere catalogue of them would take many pages. Hagar bidding the baby, Lissus, farewell, while the policeman waits, after she had collected her humidly-sugges in good times. The walkers. Mamba the judge's tooth, of course, will take its place among the classics; Raymond talking to Saint Wentworth " The rank and file of the poor-white, small farmers, working men, who fear the whole life of the man, they do the devil. " We love the individual Negro, while we hate, or at least, fear him as a race. " Gold Star Mothers," explained by the enterprising dentist as " Gold Tooth Mothers. " In the more night of the Club studies he addes a word who were plesia enough blushed; a log was still a limb, and gentlemen asked permission to smoke cigarettes. " A tribute to the higher moral standard of our best social circles. The origi is the place of Charity. Charming Mambas and Lissus and Hagar and Gilly Bluton; Hagar alone in the swamp with the obscene lump of flesh that had been Bluton—Victor Hugo never did a better bit—Lissa and Saint Wentworth on Lenox Avenue; Hagar was a little difficult to be peaceful restrained. Lissus's triumph on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House—and finally Ms m ba's peaceful old age, surrounded by rotagravure pictures of the Tamous and beautiful oper, singer, called Llam, he was a small commercial house she watches the New York steamer falling up the bay.
A rarely beautiful book. You will read it once, then twice, and then go back and dip into it again and again, remembering the heartening of Dube Hewery.

These facts are well known but the companies are too frequently overlooked, namely, that of combating the breast cancer. A scientific analysis of the death rate among Negroes showed that our population was 377 will live to reach the age of 10 years, over against 81,519 will live to reach the age of 20 years, against 70,118 white males; 45,144 Negro males will reach the age of 20 years, against 70,118 white males; 35,627 Negro males will reach the age of 50, against 60,741 white males; 35,627 Negro males will reach the age of 60 years against 65,529 white males; 33,84 Negro males will reach the age of 60 years against 65,529 white males; at the age of 80 the number dying per thousand is due largely to the living conditions of our mances relative to the methods of preventing disease and of expectant mothers and children.

These trained nurses are visited by nurses working for or the cooperation of the insurance companies.

Results Are Gratifying
That this service which indicates the interest Negro insurance companies have in the conservation of the life of the Negro race, has been beneficial to the Negro community, by the protection of the Negro; the decrease in the number of deaths resulting from malaria, and the decrease in disease and especially child mortality. Living conditions have been improved; home life made more attractive and sickness lessened, through the use of medicines. Conditions are far, however, from what is desired as was pointed out by the Negro Insurance Association. The Negro Insurance Association, but the work will be broadened and developed as the time goes by and the additional companies will inaugurate the program this year and concentrate on improving conditions in this direction. Agents of the companies are study-ers, and they may render a definite service to their policyholders and the race. Services being added to the medical depart-

A competitive report of business in operation by companies of the National Negro Business Association shows that these enterprises have more than $243,854,500 worth of business. The fact that Negroes are insured to the extent of $1,252,000,000 the Negro group are not yet getting their share of the business of the group. The Negroes are accordingly to C. C.

"This presents a study," said Mr. Spalding. "We should consider the importance of Negro insurance officials and policyholders alike. A race must become economically viable. If it would have wealth and well being. Safe, well-managed and careful supervised Negro insurance companies would have the total insurance on Negro lives. They can, should, and must insure the lives of race wealth, and race welfare."

Quarrels of Colored
Actors Hinder Films
(BY HARRY LEAVETTE)
Los Angeles, Cal.-Quarreels, fight and bad habits are jopardizing the future of colored actors in the motion picture industry, directors and others who have handled to work with and to contact the colored performers since their recent repertory numbers in important pictures became
"If the motion picture industry is in such a condition that it will not tolerate the on the part of the most famous white actors and actresses, what do you do?" the director grocer actor will be?" one director was heard to inquire. "of Los Angeles who have worked with racial pride at the sight of the entrance of the Negro industry, their breath 1 East in something should happen in the record of those who have attended direction, directions and then to dimmish some of the leading colored performers."
Troubles Started With Glipin Universal seems to have already handled the cases, both with a reexamined collection, and with lesser performances, Charles Glipin was automatically fired by Universal 2 years ago for coming to the conclusion that allegations then made, drunk the day occasioned by Glipin's tardiness, were thousands of dollars. Bishop Scott, a prominent person who had come as great of the company to watch the film, go away disappointed. Edmond Lowe was afterwards employed to take Glipin's picture, "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
When "Hearts of Dixie" was planned, the Fox company decided to give him the opportunity to work in New York at the time, but the company sent for him and offered him the job, but according to other color performers in the cast, Gilpin soon became a crankshaker. Director Slean improved Gilpin, being forced to adamantish him at one time in substantially the same way, Gilpin, we will not tolerate temperament out of anyone. We are not going to have to have give us a picture and nothing else. Afterwards, Gilpin was released. George Reed, a local favorite, was given the part, but failed to click. It is being done by Clarence Mowry.
Actors Quarrel and Fight
A quarrel which began on the studio lot during filming of the same movie, which led to a fight in the lobby of the Somerville Hotel, took place when "Stompy" and the host earned $300 per step. The host took issue with each other over a girl's "Stepin", and to be earned $300 per step, the gangster to meet up his erstwhile friend, "Stompy". When "Steph", the host reached the lobby of the Somerville, a three-cornered fracta ensued in which the patient was again. During the making of this same picture, another troublesome incarnation of the patient directors. A girl and a man, each employed at $100 per step, played opposite each other in their job. They had to be frequently reprimanded because their interest in each other was low. In the picture, the girl was capacious where the rest of the cast was not involved in the filming. There came the time for the filming of a wedding scene in which she was ready for the camera, and to crowd forward and kiss her. At the first rehearsal, the director was ready for the camera, but now make it real and do it well. An ex-player in his part of the scene realistic, indeed, when the lover, playing the role of the epithet, "don't hold that girl no long."
This itself was a serious offense as she during important scenes probably needed to turn her check to the door and be forced to step back a accordingly to turn her check to the door and be forced to stop all action and rebuke both performers. The girl startled and the room was the first evidence that actors formerly got $7.50 a day an hour from $100 to $600 a week. Many sought cars who had no place to keep them, and refused to refrain himself with his company she made his car possible by tearing his neck speed. Another, "Sipin Feiselal," has bought three cars in two years has employed a chauffer. The cars are a Cadillac limousine, a Cadillac limo, and an investigation falls to show that any of the fortunate actors has invested in substantial securities or property.

COUNCILMAN BY
CLEVELAND BODY
Cleveland, Ohio.—(ANP)—Dr. Russell S. Brown, pastor of the Mount Zion Congregational Church, was named as Thomas W. Fleming's successor, as councilman from the third district bere Monday.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1929
at its Monday noon luncheon, the Houston business Merk Club, of which James E. Baird was Rev. E. L. Harrison, pastor Antichrist Baptist Church, delivered a very able talk, which was presented in the ridium, the text of which appears here.
Do you know omisridium? That is your omisridium—the omisridium your special calling. What do you need to know for gold along a river in Papua New Guinea, for gold broke into a mass of flakish substance, blue-gray in color. They did not aside as worthless. Later the prospectors happened to tell a mining engineer about the matter and is in charge of mining. The instance was omisridium, a metal of the platinum family, eight times an value, it is used to tip fountain pens and for delicate bearings of fine machinery, those luckless miners informed them to find that the tropical rainbow was a heath of the precious deposit. The scraped together two and one-half diameters after it was
those luckless miners to their river outstretched on the tropical rains had washed the precious deposit away. They scraped together about two pounds of osmium after a rev. Harrison sold them for $3,000. Hereafter it is safe to take two pounds for osmium wherever they die. "The moral is: Know your business so thoroughly that you will be ready to take advantage for osmium opportunities. Be armed against surprises. The ignorant, unaware, and plunges into the wise business man and has for osmium all of his life. In this organization you have found your on-
"It ites to me that the great need may be to help to speed money how to save money. No university worthy of your name would teach a young man how to teach him to heal the sick and provide field of learning bring him a living. I rather think that one of the reasons that he befortoe, with little exception, every man in the corporation enters it to make money, and not to serve it. Business enterprises should never be established for a need, a need to supply a demand. We must enter an atmosphere where money making is not the chieftain in which it is not even an end at all because a more or less disagreeable money
In the universities of this country we meet men who are making great discoveries in science which might be turned to immense profit if they would keep them secret and commercialize them, but which they openly publish to the world so soon as they are sure of them, finding a more satisfactory reward in so doing than they could in all the gold of the mints. This is the true spirit, yet against this spirit there is constantly beating to day the waves of a mad, rushing, restless commercialism, where everything is valued in terms of dollars and cents. Influence is at work trying to reduce the man of culture into the noisy, dusty, highway of business, where he may join in the race for wealth with splendid chances of success.
"And if the friends of the former ideals, which aim at setting the feet of the money-changers, which led to the money-changers, do not sense the fense of this system it will be overloaded and the money-changers will have set up their seats in the holest of places, the money-changers will have set up "Man does not live by irrad alone." This is an old lesson which is peculiar to the money-changers.
"I am sure when you extended me this invitation to address you today you were not thinking in terms of business, but rather of hearing something about business as it relates to religion. And yet you do know that the church quite a bit in religion and in the scripture. Such exhortations are not only interesting but perhaps the most interesting and the most promising and the most important in this is this one: 'Seeth thou a man diligent in his business?' he shall stand and say, 'I will mean men.' More diligence would not comment a man to high notice unless accompanied by dexterity."
Let me by way of conclusion urge each one of you to strive to become an expert in your particular line. Color may constitute a barrier but not a� no need for any other decision.
“Solomon says that experts in business are fitted for even the highest situation, may well be employed in affairs of state, and enjoy the confidence of kings. He shall not stand before mean men or men of an intellectual, noble, obedient, or no intellectual, clever, adroit man would never be satisfied with serving such masters. His ambition is higher; he knows that he is capable of better things. A man who is keen and observant has business should be a man who has the time to attend on his work and to attend a man must know his business in the world. Know thy work is as important as a precept as know thyself. The results will be advancement and honor. Racial disadvantages will disappear. We have as shining examples, Joseph, Neoh and the Daniel.
I close by commending you for this advance in the business world. This organization is the right move, in the right direction. It is your OSMERIDIUM. My services are at your command—simply say, "I am a student." I am the club's attention for 1929 was adopted Monday, and the following officers added to the roster: C. F. Richardson, vice-president; Hobart T. Taylor, sergeant-at-arins. Next meeting will be held by Y. G. A. social hall.

In fact, THE INFORMER stood fourth in this respect amng the Negro newspapers of America, three racial publications in the metropolitan centers of the East and North surpassing THE INFORMER in volume of display advertising.
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. 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.
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.

AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER
WRITER VISITS
WESLEY CHAPEL;
CHOIR PRAISED
(By S. R. WILLIAMS)
There once lived an old frog in an old dwelling and because he had never travelled, he got the idea that all the world was just like his old well. That, in a way, was the idea of church traveling. One can very easily form the opinion that the old frog had, that every church is connected to the church, that mine is far superior to the rest. So on last Sunday I pulled myself away from my own church fireside and headed to the Wesley Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Church, Dowlingville, where the building is the first unit of what is to be a most imposing structure, to cost when completed in the neighborhood of Houston. This church for years stood on Texas Avenue and Chartees Street, where now the church is the home of the darling early day of Houston was known as the "sill stocking" church of the city. This stocking church was an amphibious practice by the members, but on account of the high-class historic old church, Wesley, as it was known up until the new building was begun, has always enjoyed the service among the ministers of the African Methodist connection, and therefore among the ministers of the African churches of this city and several.
But, to my story, I arrived at the church in time to get a glimpse of the Sunday school which is provided over by Misa Ellie Alma Walls, as superintendent. As I entered the room, I saw in the midst of a conscription service in which the newly elected officers were gathered about the man and the pastor. Rev. J. B. Butler, was beseeching the Master to consecrate the said officers to His service during the en
REV. J. R. BUTLER
suing year. It was a very beautiful and impure manuscript, indeed not a book. I am glad we necissed it, the morning service began with the processional, in which the choir sang the hymn of the church while the organ and the two violins, played by John H. Kerr and the choir, in the choir gallery, the A choir was the seats in the choir gallery, they sat to put the most disobedient of praise with such harmony and pathos as to put the most disobedient of processional was just the beginning of the rare treat that I was to enjoy in the way of singing from this note.
After a prayer by M. H. Montgomery and the missionary collection had been lifted by several little girls, the choir almost lifted me from my seat with the rendition of "I Left Up, I Will Be Loved" to the end of the wonderful anthem sung before, but I am frank to confess I have never been similarly affected by it as I was on this occasion. To tell the truth, those men and women sang tears from my eyes, and I guess I would have shed more. I had been so much involved in nothing but the new need it to rest, that I had left home in such a rush that I didn't bring a handkerchief with me. So, to save the day, I had to shift my thoughts from the singing to things less touching. But they were not through, for after scripture reading this same day, M. H. Montgomery and the choir had been prayed, and Mrs. E. J. Mann, mingled their voices together in singing "It Pays To Serve Jesus," and when they sat down, I had already been fully paid for my visit. I had listened to two sermons in song, but the good things continued to come to the master
"It Is I, Be Not Afraid," and using the incident of the disciples' terrible experience on the storm-tossed sea of Galilee, when the Master came to their rescue, to preach a comforting sermon to them who may have resisted to deliver that the Master is not always near and ready to give such to His followers.
The sermon over, the collection taken, the pastor began to read off the names of the visitors, and then it came my time to wish I was at home, but a fellow generally has to pay for what he enjoys in this world, so I didn't run, but waited for my time to come to rise and face a strange audience, and tell them just how I had enjoyed being present, which in this case was not a stereotyped statement.
After dismission I was made to feel that the good people of Wesley were really glad to have had me present, judging by the many handshakes and pleasing words of welcome. I met many friends of yesteryears and felt that, although I had not sat with my own brothers and sisters at the old church fireside, I had really been to worship, and was fit spiritually to enter upon another week's work.
Among the officers of this church are: Rev. J. B. Butler, pastor; B. V. Waddell, secretary trustee board; F. S. Stone, secretary steward board, and president Christian Endeavor Society; Miss Ellie A. Wells, superintendent Sunday school; Mrs. J. B. Butler, president missionary society; Mrs. Myrtle Middleton, chorister; Mrs. P. O. Smith, organist.
OUR SCHOOLS

"The bookkick blockhead ignorantly read, with loads of learned lumber in his head."
An institution of learning is an institution of learning, there have been skill or education acquired by study. In this definition we note nothing of paying tribute to God's name but we know that this must be done.
The 22nd of February has been set aside day which is called Arbor Day, is nationally celebrated. Students of the various schools all over the United States daily school work to plant a tree. The students of Jack Yates High School their campus with the space for the tree planting inserted in the center. This formation was made without a plan, but the program which was both entertaining and instructive was rendered with our most accomplished principal as mas-
The program rendered was as follows: Chorus, "When The World's On Fire," school; invocation, Rev. A. H. Branch; recitation, "Shade," Fanie Jones, low 11th; recitation, "Our Forests," Heman Sweatt, high 10th; planting the tree, Alfred Mims and Walter Riley (the crimson and gold ribbon was attached to the tree and spade by Ruth Williams and Sidney Cosey, both high 11th; "Plantine & Tree," Gertrude Harris, high 11th; "Tree Planting Song" (tune, America); dedication of the tree, Egbert Hall, high 11th.
At this point, exercises commemorating the natal day of George Washington were conducted as follows: "Life of Washington," Clarence Wright, low 10th; "First in the Hearts of His Country," Vera Burr, high 10th; "Washington's Rule of Conduct," Clyte Fears, high 9th; "Lines to Washington," Hilda Constant, low 10th; "Washington," Zelma Craft, high 9th.
In orderly formation this vast student group, numbering 1,349, heard the benediction and left for their homes, with reverent mice, better citizens for the day's observances.—Zelma Addin, high 11th, reporter.

The history department of the Booker T. Washington High School is showing much progress in its work. The senior department is instructed by Prof. R. W. Lights.

HARRISON PUTS BAPTIST ISSUE BEFORE WILSON
HARRISON PUTS BAPTIST ISSUE BEFORE WILSON
Houston, Texas, Feb. 26, 1929.
Dr. E. Arlington Wilson,
213 Thomas Ave.
Dallas, Texas
Dear Doctor Wilson:
I am in receipt of both of your letters in reply to my proposal for conference to adjust the differences of the Baptists of our state. The one mailed from Dallas, a second of Feb. 18th, from Galveston, Texas, which appeared in last week's Houston Informer, I very much regret that you seem to prefer to continue the fight instead of to forge and forgive and save the Baptists of our state. To you of the 14th contained my fourth proposal to you for peace, and to which I have your reply. Twice in this letter I have addressed and on the platform in Sherman, one in open newspaper publication and this letter of Feb. 14th contains several questions and declarations that should be answered and disqualified, but to do so will push the fight further. I will not be able to meet these demands but had hoped that you would by this time been willing to brotherly discuss the matter.
However, if you insist, I will, as soon as I have returned from filling the office, include about 30 days, be ready to present the matter to the public as you request for its second verdict. Since I am not a lawyer, I am one of several days and places, campus of Houston College or Bryan University, where I was been in Houston and passed through two different times since receiving your letter to me, "I can see you any time," means to me that you are not very much interested in the prosecution.
I remain very truly yours,
E. L. HARRISON.

ABILENE NOTES
Abbelline, Tex. —Sunday was a great day at Mt. Zion; Sunday school opened on time with Superintendent W. H. McCormick, and the school began a session of Sunday school, then praise service, the pastor, Rev. S. M. Balene ("The Rock of Refuge"). He made it plain why he should take Christ as his teacher, and he kept the tempest. At 6 o'clock Santa Laura Wiley, president B. Y. P. U., held a live worship service at a live wire in B. Y. P. U. work. At 7:30 p. m. he had a lovely prayer service, and Mrs. S. M. Jones as president, and Mrs. Willey jenkins (Hugley) at the church, where she sang, while the choir sang with spiritual service, the house was packed all the time.

Port Arthur, Texas.—The great Sixth Street Baptist Church has had as its guest for the last two weeks Rev. M. B. Bilbrew, who is the noble pastor of the Salem Baptist Church, Dallas, and the worthy superintendent of state missions. Rev. Bilbrew came to Sixth Street at the time the church was in need of financial aid. He came with a financial program, and with the cooperation of the members, he tenaciously put it over; $694.51 was raised. This great preacher has a reputation that has spanned the continent, for indeed he is an honorable man, an eminent character, an eloquent speaker, a gospel preacher and a worthy leader. He swayed the entire city of Port Arthur with his eloquence and 17 members were added to the church. He regret that Rev. Bilbrew had to leave us, but he left our souls filled with the Holy Ghost, our hearts with ardent righteous desires and our minds with inspiration. He indeed made and rightfully won for himself a warm place in the hearts of Port Arthur citizens. We, the members of Sixth Street, hold fond memories of his visit and esteem him as the greatest preacher that we have ever heard—Rev. H. H. Williams, reporter.

WACO DOINGS
Waco, Texas...Our services are still on the increase, spiritually, financially, and otherwise. Our beloved pastor, Rev. Wesley is much better from his lagripe attack and we are very proud to say he is certainly giving us what we need in gospel preaching. Although the weather has been very bad, the various auxiliaries are functioning one hundred per cent. Friday night, February 22, the Y girls surprised the boy cadets with a banquet, very much to the boys' pleasure and the girls are expecting something else soon. The several church circles are moving rapidly in their contributions, also the missionary circles. The senior choir is now preparing a musical treat for Waco; this operetta is a production, exceptional, in fact it is in a class to itself. Watch for the date. The Starlight Band, with Sister L. L. D. Forward as counselor, is also increasing its work and wishes to announce that they, too, are working in the most of our time. But over a great amount of work for their church. We are indeed proud to Annick. Our services Sunday were graced with many visitors, among whom were out-of-town folks as well as Wacoans. Watch for report of church circles and the activity of circle presidents in the near future.

The office is to make available to Negro business enterprises the information and service of the department. The secretary of the secretary of the league in 1821, I have devoted a great deal of study to the problems of black people and have watched with some apprehension the growth of chain people and have fielded this giant competitor made inroads upon our business, for it is the greatest forward stride.
In order to secure reliable and authentic information on the needs of the retail chain, a survey of Negro business enterprises in the city of New York has compiled and tabulated a preliminary review of the figures shown that approximately 60 per cent of New York's retail business field is in the retail grocery business. The task of the chain stores is the immediate task of this group, and to help make sense of this program, which is somewhat as follows:

Chicago, Ill.—(ANP) Hurling associations came in for much criticism over the current issue of the National Humanitarian Charter, which declared that most of the United States' military forces promoted by undertakers were doing move harm than good. The editor, John B.

"There are in existence in a num- brium of burial associations, which for the most part are by undertakers that seek to add another source of income through their own organizations are responsible, the big majority, should be responsible for the poorer and less intelligent class the poorer and less intelligent class are interested in paying weekly or monthly assessments to burial an- nounce what the organization is offering in the way of a funeral equipment, the policyholder would receive three or four times the amount of money were used to purchase life insurance, the policyholder would receive three or four times the amount of money were used to from his burial concern. It has been found, for example, that a funeral actually gets by with an actual expense of $1000 in burial associations and like concerns prey very largely on the people who are being buried in a dig site, to analyze the situation. Their emotions are played upon. They have a horror of being buried in a dig site, and the ability is able to place before the purchaser that their class-funeral will be decided.
Unfortunately, many of these concerns are not responsible financially, but they are selling, and are gouging the peo organization. Organizations that should protect people should be protected.

FIRST IN INFLUENCE—PAGE SEVEN
Critics Pronounce Harlem Physician As Notable Artist
New York—(ANP) In the past, New Yorkers have regarded Dr. Alonzo De G. Smith as one of the most competent pediatricians. However, a new light has been shed upon the physician when it leaked that he is being trained to work at the annual exhibition of paintings by physicians at the New York Academy of Medicine, Fifth Avenue, where he was the third annual exhibition, but the focus at which any colored physician has entered his work, is two pieces on the walls, both paintings. One called "Old Man Gray," a likeness of Harry Gray, now appearing in movies in King Vidor's film "North American Type" and is from a living model. Two years that Dr. Smith has been interested in painting, paying attention strictly to portrait work, which hobby takes up all of his time. The whole thing began when he studied drawing with charcoal at the Metropolitan Museum, and was connected with the children's department for seven years. On the advice of the teacher he studied next year, he was hired at the Metropolitan School of Art. His work is really of a very high quality, and has elicited favorable criticism.
CHICAGO MAYOR
WELCOMES HERO
OF NEGRO GROUP
Chicago.—(ANP)—An impressive ceremony was held in the city council chambers here Wednesday afternoon when Lionel Licorish, the West Indian hero of the Vestris disaster, who saved 20 lives after the ship had sunk, was welcomed to the city by Mayor William Hale Thompson, and leaders of a number of civic organizations.
Alderman Robert R. Jackson acted as master of ceremonies. He introduced in turn, Robert S. Martin, a training officer. Mr. Licorish, Dr. Mary F. Waring, who presented the Colored Women's Club; W. H. Prickard of the Association of Commerce; David Hawley, former president of the Appomattox Club; Congressman-elect Oscar DelPriest, and Max Thompson.
All of the workers emphasized the virtue of the achievement of Mr. Locorish and its value in creating a fine feeling of respect between the races.
Mayor Thompson turned to the people, white and black, who filled the council chamber and so elected that in the year 1901, the group were more of color lines that Chicago's citizens of all colors and races were glad to welcome a man who had done a man's job and his duty.
Licorish thanked the mayor for his welcome, told in detail the story of his resources and expressed his gratitude to the people.
American for their treatment of him.
As in New York, he stated that "Americans treat me so nice, I feel less wish to get out of their sight." The language of the hero is often a bit naive, but he is never so in his heart. He has probably 180 pounds, his disposition is one of positive manliness. He smiles but little and sometimes apologizes for his failure to him. Often enough, when others are taking to him, or around him, his facial expressions would lead one to hear that Barbados has of his home in faraway Barbados.

New York City—(ANP)—Andrew Braithwaite, 22, of 2852 Seventh Avenue, was held in $1,500 bail for a further hearing when arranged in court Saturday on charges of abduction, assault, and with the recent disappearance of Realene Hall, 15, who lived at the home. The girl disappeared a week ago and a general alarm was sent out.

New York—(ANP) —A complaint charged David Sampion, editor of the "American Recorder," "a weekly publication of this city, with criminal libel was dismissed in Washington High court Saturday by Magistrate Bushel. John W. Hewlett, editor of the American Recorder, 200 West 138th Street, who made the complaint, requested permission to withdraw his charge. The newspaper charged that an article printed in the "American Recorder" concerning his recent arrest on a charge of grand larceny made by a young woman contained lhelion state materials.
ONE-CENT FINE
PROVES LARGE
SUM TO NEGRO
Birmingham, A1a.—(ANP)—O is penny is a mere pittance when you have money, but if you haven't that sole brownie, it looms as a huge band roll. If you don't believe it, ask I, G. Bean who faced such a situation here in court Tuesday morning.
Bean had run afoul of the law and was haled before Judge W. I. Grubb of the United States District Court. The fact was brought out that Bean had been discovered with two pints of liquor in his possession about two months ago and since that time had been in jail.
Feeling that the prisoner had remained in jail long enough the judge imposed a fine of one dollar. Bean shook his head and explained that he would have to stay in jail as he did have the dollar, due to the expense of sending out for meals during the preceding two months.
The judge then reduced the sentence to one penny. Again Bean had to confess that the fine was too much for his pocketbook and started back for jail. The United States deputy marshall, John T. Stewart, however, came to his rescue and paid the fine, and Bean was a man. Thanking both the judge and the marshall Bean walked out of court smiling with happiness.
Studies on Physical Development
BY ALGERON R. JACKSON, M. D. (For The Associated Negro Press)
That systematic physical exercise will increase the height, weight, and vital capacity of school boys is shown in a special experiment undertaken by the United States Public Health Service in Public Health Bulletin No. 179.
Perhaps the most interesting result was the growth of school boys in height. Growing boys may be expected to show increases in height in the group who were not given the special exercises and who were appointed to take as little exercise as possible and reported their thirds of an inch. Thus the "experimental" group gained nearly a whole inch in study. Out of 60 boys in the "control" group only 4 gained an inch and the rest remained in the period; out of 48 gained that much. While it is recognized that this rule of growth it probably would be a cause
In weight, the boys given the prices showed an average gain of $25 pounds, whereas the "control" group showed a gain of $2.6. In the former, 62 children gained 5 pounds or more in the latter only 5.7. With capacity (the amount of air which can be�pelled from the lung) also showed significantly greater decreases in the "experimental" group.
The study was carried on to ascertain whether grains would be a better source of the posture of boys. An imprv. in the muscular tone seems to have since a series of strengths that before and after the experiment indicated that the boys in the mental classes increased more mainly after other boys of the same age. However, all measures of the results are being those made on the posture before and after the experimental period, indicated no difference in the posture, from whatever point of view considered.
The bodily growth of boys from three to fifty-two to the same balletile (Public Health No. 179), based on a study of 2,200 persons on whom detailed potential examinations were made before and from, back and profile photographs of the body.
The results of each measurement excellent idea is obtained as our growth process, its relation to performance Special attention is given to the variability of measurements from person to different people themselves into two rather simple contrasting groups. The growth begins at very low values and plateaus with additional measurements show a gradual increase throughout children; they are, in general, linear measurements on the body.
All show remarkable increases at the time of puberty.
Certain measurements reach a maximum in early adult life, and thereafter decline (strength, vital capacity, chest expansions). Others are still rising more or less at 50 years (chest measurements, abdominal cirrhage, hence weight).
Record of tests of strength on one thousand boys and men. These have been to fifty years of age are also given in this health bulletin. The tests made included: pull (strength at pulling the hands apart, recorded with a dynamometer); push (pressing the hands together); lift (lifting from floor); hand grip; lung force (height to which a column of mercury can be sent by blowing into a tube); and long fatigue ("holding one's breath" length of time the column of mercury can be maintained at 40 millions on a single breath).
Outside of the last measurement (which shows little variation with age), rice during adolescence in much the same manner, apart against puberty, reach a maximum height of 30 years, and then return to height and weight increase, strength increase, but it is of particular interest that for persons of the same height, with height. For persons of the same height, strength increases markedly with weight.
All or the tota show great variability, especially lung force and lung fatigue, and there was no indication that any of them gained any Indian indices of physical condition.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1929
STATES HONORING ROSENWALD
According to plans already made public, fourteen American states are in the midst of mammoth celebrations in honor of Julius Rosenwald, the philanthropic American Jew and vice-president of Sears, Roebuck and Company of Chicago, in the 4,138 Rosenwald schools in said commonwealths.
According to the announcement, the specific purposes of these meetings in the Rosenwald schools are: To do honor to Mr. Rosenwald, the friend and humanitarian who has done so much for the colored boys and girls of the South and nation; to bring people of the various communities, both colored and white, together at the school house for the purpose of getting better acquainted with each other and of getting more intimately in touch with the school and its need; to learn of the progress that has been made and to plan for greater achievement in the future, and to give the patrons and friends of the school an opportunity to make contributions to the immediate needs of these schools.
Fully 500,000 colored children are said to be enrolled in these 4,138 Rosenwald schools, which have been built at a cost in excess of $20,000,000.
Of this huge sum, Negroes have contributed $3,913,875; whites have raised by direct subscriptions $903,253; the sum of $12,166,438 has been made possible from public tax funds, and Mr. Rosenwald personally and through his fund, has contributed $3,333,852.
Upon the suggestion of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee Institute, the first Rosenwald school was erected in Alabama during 1913, costing only $42,50.
During the past fifteen years 4,137 more such school buildings have been constructed and are now in course of operation in fourteen states, and racial illiteracy has been reduced tremendously as a result of this benefactor and his contributions to Negro education.
Not only has Mr. Rosenwald made possible better educational facilities, equipment and courses of study for Negro youth in these schools, but he has also inculcated into the Negro race the spirit of self-help and self-improvability.
Any movement which teaches the race to practice the doctrine of helping and improving itself by and through its own efforts, certainly is a deserving and commendable one; and in ascribing praise and bestowing honors upon this noted character during this national celebration, this fact should not escape the attention of the celebrators.
In making his contributions to and for Negro education, Mr. Rosenwald has not been actuated by any selfish desire, nor because of any love, as such, for the Negro race per se, but rather because of his love for humanity, and his knowledge of the fact that America can never rise higher than its lowest and most ignorant citizen.
He is truly worthy of all the honor which shall be accorded him during this observance, and The Informer is a stammer believer in the practice of giving flowers to the living; while they can smell and enjoy their rare and rich fragrance.
All honor and praise to Mr. Rosenwald, and may his tribe increase!
PRAIRIE VIEW SINGERS SANG AGAIN!
The Informer has been reliably informed that a misstatement occurred in our editorial last week, captioned, "Negrecus Insulted At Conference," wherein this paper stated that the young men (male quartet) from Prairie View became so incensed at this insult that they withdrew from the auditorium and did not sing again that evening."
The editorial in question dealt with a gross and flagrant insult heaped upon these singers and other colored citizens at one of the public programs rendered here during the silver jubilee celebration of the federal farm extension department, when the master of ceremonies (a white Texas extension worker) made the remark that "after musical selections by our Mexican friends (referring to a Mexican brass band from Kingsville), my "niggers" from Prairie View will sing again."
This insult was hurled at the colored group on the night of the banquet tendered Dr. R. R. Moton and his party by the local Business Men's Club, and this editor was not present at the City Auditorium when the alleged unwarranted and uncalled for insult was handed out to the youthful singers from the state college and the colored auditors; but some of those present originally informed The Informer that the Prairie View male quartet did not sing any more that evening.
Since the appearance of last week's editorial touching upon this matter, information has been imparted to this paper that we were his error on this score, and that the Prairie View singers really made again.
If this latest report is correct, then it begins to appear that somebody at Prairie View is serving in a typical Sambo role, for
The Houston Informer
America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper
President Coolidge has studiously and计算性地 avoided the race question as an political entity. The impulse of his Puritan heart beats true to his principles in right leadership. He believes with a seat-tested conviction in the fundamental purpose of the fifteenth amendment. But the shawnee Yankee agility cautions silence where assertion yields no frustum. Renewal of a promissory note has no efficacy if the maker does not intend to pay. He neither affirms nor intends to infer what his principles are. Mr. Coolidge has been president for five years and six months. During that time he has not made a single significant, original Negro appointment. He did renominate Cohen of Lincolnia to his unconfirmed assignment and replaced the minister to Lily A. Hancock as the chief treasurer of Columbia. Charles W. Anderson, Arthur Proe and Perry Howard were permitted to continue in office by hold-over treasury. The official positions in the South were lost to the Negro before President Coolidge's day.
during the winter of 1928 the chorus from this state college had to employ a freight elevator in a certain local hudl in order to reach the assembly room where they sang for a national gathering of bankers. If the freight elevator incident could be overloiked and forgetten. The Informer can not see how any self-respecting Negro, whether student or teacher—even at a state institution of learning—could so statify himself and his race as to appear on a program after such a gratuitous insult had been hurried at the singers, teachers and Negro race. There is something radically and fundamentally wrong with any man or race when he or it does not know how to resent such an insult and affront; and if these college singers really sang such insults and affront, they would be upon them, they need to be examined by a board of aliminary, and if some teacher insisted upon them singing again after such an insult, we have our serious doubts whether such person is qualified to instruct and trained color youth along lines that make for manhood, manliness and moral courage.
COOPERATIVE MARKETING SCHEME
The proposed movement to organize the Negro farmers of the country into a cooperative marketing association, is worthy of the earnest consideration of every black tiller of the soil in the United States, and it is to be hoped that the effort will meet with success.
This is an age of cooperative effort, and the colored farmer, the least protected productive unit in America, will improve his status to a marked degree and become more prosperous and successful if he will learn and practice the lesson of cooperative marketing.
The man, who on the farm or in business, who ensues to operate individually rather than collectively will discover ultimately that he is making very little, if any, honeoy.
Realizing the power of organization, the farmers of the other race maintain associations for their mutual benefit, and much substantial progress is being made by them as a result of such organized forces and protective movements.
How to sell the product, whether agricultural or mercantile, is the problem now facing the Negro farmer and business man; while the latter is also faced with the elephantine problem of cooperative buying.
The Negro farmer, in this connection, should diversify his crops and produce more green vegetables and other farm products which always have a ready market, and which can reduce the cost of living for the farmer and his family, by providing much of the food consumed by his immediate household.
In speaking of the National Federation of Coloured Farmers, President James Perry Davis of Indiana and a farmer Georgian says:
“We want 25,000 Negro farmers to enter our cooperative organization this year. By elimination of the middleman and encouragement of diversified planting, we will create a new market which will revolutionize the Negro farmers' income.” Few people realize the tremendous potentiality of the Negro farmer. The white farmer has long ago seen the necessity for cooperation action. We have adequate financial support and invite Negro farmers everywhere to join this movement.
AMERICAN OCCUPATION OF HAITI
That Uncle Sam, in the role of big brother to Haiti, has virtually stifled and destroyed the spirit of the black republic, in harm out by a recent expose of the heartless and cruel policy of America given the press by Captain Napoleon B. Marshall, former American attaché at Port an Prince, capital of Haiti, and a commission officer in the 15th New York Infantry, which saw mortal service during the late World War.
Captain Marshall declares that America has maintained a systematic method of crushing the morale and spirit of the Haitian people; that the American administration has wanted and summoned public funds of the black republic of the Culemille; that Americans have been overpaid and natives greatly underpaid; that malicious discrimination has been practiced and that America has failed to redeem a single promise made when Haiti was first occupied by the United States.
For the past several years much criticism has been directed against the American occupation of Haiti, and intout of helping the colored republic by its occupation and administration of internal affairs, America has bungled the job and literally raped and outraged the Haitian government.
It strikes The Informer that any man who can not manage successfully his own household is hardly qualified to attempt in administer the affairs of another man's household, and Uncle Sam has been unable to do well to straighten out his own internal affairs before emerging to serve as the moral monitor and political purveyor of smaller and disadvantaged rebelies.
The United States congress should terminate the American occupation of Haiti, and the new chief executive, President Herbert Clark Hoover, who will be inducted into office next Monday, should make this move as one of his first official acts.
Regarded throughout the world as a humanitarian and believer in human rights, Hoover will prove himself an author of this country to influence the continued occupation of this black republic.
THE HARRISON-WILSON IMBROGLIO
Replying to the recent open letter of Rev. E. L. Harrison of this city, president of one faction of the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas, Rev. E. Arlington Wilson of Dallas, president of the other faction of the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas, accepts the suggestion that they (he and Rev. Harrison) hold a conference and seek to agree to an amicable basis for settling the differences which are about to wreck and destroy the convention in this state.
However, before agreeing to the conference suggested by the local Baptist leader, the Dallas minister gives Rev. Harrison "a piece of his mind," and mildly chides and upraises him and his followers for their part in the present denominational controversy.
The Informer, which has repeatedly made the suggestion that these Baptist leaders and their followers hold a pence purity and sign an armature, will be interested in the outcome of this proposed conference between these two leaders of the hattling Baptist forces.
There is entirely too much at stake, both from a deminational, religious and racial angle, to permit an irreparable tilt to exert between this city and Texas because, and we are hopeful that we be declared the winner, that the leaders of such factions can together on an available.

He refusal endorsement of a larger propensity of his chief measures than he has withheld from any administration since Andrew Johnson. He now pursues into private life with more friends and fewer enemies than any other American president. He will not be permitted to hold public indictment that as the most acceptable and generally approved of them all.

The university membership and membership of the treasury panel from Ephraim's political allotment. The Rooseveltian policy of appointing Negroes to compulsive places in the North has not been sustained. When the present colored collector of internal revenues of New York retires, his successor will in all likelihood be appointed. The administration has established a dead line to the Negro's appetitive hope. The life span of this release is one week. Before that limit shall have expired, the fourth of March will be upm. We then bid Mr. Coolidge adieu, and Mr. Hoover welcome. We cannot help but welcome the great interest of the politicized politicians flocked to the capital in unaccounted numbers, with reasonable expectation to be chosen to fill high stations in the South, in Washington,
and in the foreign service. But now there are left only three or four comparatively minor places that they dare to visit, and in the case of deaths, the ministership to Liberia and possibly the assistant attorney generalship constitute the limit of the black man's political ambition. This well known trend towards elimination which has been going on for a generation has climaxed under Coolidge. President Coolidge does not pose as a leader of public opinion but as a leader of the public opinion in the thermometer is not a truer indicator of the temperature than is Mr. Coolidge's appraisement of public feeling. Herein lies his great popularity which cannot be shaken. He knows with uncanny intuition just how far public sentiment will allow him to be president for allowing his political fortune to sink to such a low level under his handling. But we are quarrelling with the wrong party. It is public opinion, rather than public officials, that must be changed. Mr. Coolidge is not a great leader but a great public opinion infreetly by following it.
While Mr. Coolidge's administration has marked the downward trend of political favor towards the Negro he has shown in kindly personal conduct, he has also been a political politician, whenever occasion presented itself. He has ever and over again voiced his good will and sympathetic interest in Negro education and general advancement. In several states he has been a prominent lawmaker, and has declared for the Me
OPINIONS
grew constitutional rights, in principle. He has written several letters endorsing the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. No president has ever promulgated kind interest and good will towards his colored fellow citizens; and yet he has done less to promote his claims to equal rights under the constitution and the laws. We must, however, thank him for his good inference, though not easily translated into action.
And now Mr. Hoover takes hold where Mr. Coolidge leaves off. He enters upon a very bad inheritance so far as we are concerned. He finds the Negro all but eliminated from high place under the government. Publisher at its Newspaper Congressman Tinkham of Massachusetts is about the only man in either house of congress who genuinely believes in the enforcement of the constitution where it is effective of the Negro's rights. Mr. Hoover is under no definite political debt which he is bound to pay under penalty of twelfths and a half at the polls when he comes up for renomination and self-encession. If every Negro who did vote in the last election had cast his vote for or against him, it would hardly have effected the margin of his majority. The political program has been set to failure in the negro institution the Negro delegates, if there be, will have no independent voice or vote.
But despite all of this, let us hope even if we do not expect, that the incoming administration will out, of course, that we will restore the Negro all of his lost political prestige. But let us, in all events hope and expect, that Mr. Moer will project a social program which will be conferred or offuse those withholds.

GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF
LIFE
By Georgia Dengtas Johnson
When that last day comes, shall you be able to go away behind the dark feeling that life has been well spent, that you have learned more than the grind and tear of life, machinery to remember. Shall you hold some little urn of priceless aches in your hands, that you should be of joy! It should be so. Life is not meant for unceasing care in an arena of shine and happiness. It is every man's privilege to bring his dreams to pass, find and find it to get some thing.

DID NEGROES
MERICAN and European scholars are beginning to doubt some of the so-called facts of history which they formerly upheld. Things that were once considered sure truths are viewed otherwise today. History is now beginning to look very different from the day it looked a short while back. Especially is this true in regard to the Negro.
"Africa and the Discovery of America," a recent book by Prof. Werner of Harvard, declares that natives from Africa probably visited the shores of America long before Europeans brought them here. This is easy to believe since the West Coast of Africa and the East coast of Africa and the East Coast of South America are more than a thousand miles closer together than is Europe to North America. The British Isles are 2,600 miles distant from New Foundland, the nearest point to them in North America. Pernambuco on the coast of Brazil is only 1,600 miles from Freetown on the West Coast of Africa. But were the West Africans sufficiently acquainted with the sea to risk its dangers on so long a voyage? Undoubtedly they were. Even today the Krus of the West Coast are famous as navigators. In African tradition these coast men are on a par with the Vikings of the north. They probably were the first discov-

erers of the New World. Some day when African folk lore is more seriously studied we will know who really did discover America. The last meeting of American scientists loudly rejected this new theory. This was to be expected. New ideas which upset old ones are always rejected at first. The very fact that it came up for discussion is a great advance.
MANY AFRICAN RUINS
History in America and Europe has long called the Africans a "People Without a Past." Meaning by this that they had never risen to a height of civilization which left landmarks for the future to decipher. Archeologists, from whom we get all our impressions of the past, naturally do not care much for a people who leave them nothing to decipher. Certain other reasons, too, made they hasty in their conclusions about the Africans. It was more convenient for them to believe that the black native of Africa was a savage and that white civilization had done a great noble deed to rescue him from this low estate. The great civilizations of Persia, Crete, Egypt, Greece and Rome all left monuments of their greatness, noble ruins and fragments of delicately wrought pottery. The Africans, it was said, had left no such reminders. When, in 1871, the ruins of Zimbabwe were dis

covered the scientists of America and Europe hastily said they were of Semitic origin. Had they not definitely decided that Black Africa had no past? This great mountain of stone was considered a sort of inland accident thrown up by Phoenician traders. Since then, unfortunately for this theory, dozens of similar ruins have been found. They extend through a vast area from South Africa to the northern bounds of Abyssinia. It seems almost certain now that a great African civilization preceded European civilization. And it is not far fetched to believe that the first civilization of Egypt was Negroid. The features of many ancient Egyptian kings are obviously Negroid. The Egyptian proper no doubt was a blend of Negro and Semite. We know for certain that in 800 B. C. Ethiopia conquered Egypt and ruled her for nearly three hundred years and that Ethiopian princes and the nobility of Egypt intermarried for many centuries before and after. King Pankhi of Ethiopia freed his country of Egyptian rule and laid the foundation of Ethiopian rule in Egypt. In fact, the histories of Ethiopia and Egypt are so intermingled, each country ruling the other and being in turn conquered and ruled itself, that it is preposterous to speak of Egypt as apart from the

"Common, she's a love. I don't know. I'm all the fun I've got," said the son. The little son not unmedly grasped Zola by the arm and turned back in the direction from which she came. The others hurried on across the street toward the bank that faced the cross street.
Their steps were still exhoring on the new oldsmark when Harry

longer able to control his fearful curiosity and forgeful of the warning he was supposed to give Big Ott and Anson in his greater interest in what was about to befall Zola, rose from where he crooched hidden in the shelter of the shrubbery. Zola and her captor were just disappearing around the farther corner.
Keeping well in the shadows of the trees, Harry trailed after her.
AT THE BANK
Inside the bank all was still. The single light left going to the main lobby diffused a dim light throughout the front part of the little white tilled structure. It shone through the open door leading to the back part where the vaults were and lightened the shadows there to a clear, even grayness.
If any one had been inside he would have heard the slight scrap-ing sound that Big Ot's Jimmy made us it slipped. Anson Hedges was staying so near the big black men's elbow that it made him nervous.
"Stand back there, you yellow acut, what're you afraid of, isn't Harry on the job?" He happy voice lowered to a harness whisper was savage with nervous irritability.

With almost blinded faces he bowed limbs. With furious faintness behind him. He closed the door behind him. He closed the door behind him.
The heavy vault door loomed blackly through the gray shadown within. Ott, his electric torch in hand, advanced upon it. He sat the black bag containing his kit of bongler tools on the floor beside him and went to examine the lock. After a cursory examination he laughed shortly. "Easy as taking candy from a kid," he scoffed. "Those lick town books are sure easy marks." "Harry up, Ott, you know I told you the matchman is due around here about 1 o'clock." The shallow faced shark's voice was quivering with nervousness.
"Aw, go speak your head. This is a fit inmate job. We'll be back in the big town by the time he gets here." The big black yeggman began a expending his tools out in leisurely manner. "Here, hold this," he handed Anwn the electric torch. As the other took it his trembling hand made it cast wavering circles of light on the big look at which Big Oil was working.

from the open door behind them. The electric touch cluttered to the floor. The blank crook lifted his squat hands high above his head. But with the lightning speed of a viper's tongue the yellow coward at his side jerked the blue steel automatic from his sleeve and fired. The flame had not left the mouth of the tiny gun and was answered by a fire of shots from the gun, and the door as they rushed into the room. In the dimness the shots went wild. "Watch out!" the marshal's steamer ran voice rang through the narrow crowded space, "you might shoot each other." The men were struggling and milling together in a taqled mass. In the shadowy place it was hard to tell friend from foe. Suddenly out of the mass a single slight fire is burned and the fire is the freedom of the other door. Once at the door the figure straightened up and darted for the black shadows beyond the circle of light from the street lamp. Just as he disappeared the marshal's big forty-eight spual a thin stream of fire into the darkness after him. A little squeaking cry followed close on the heels of that spurt of flames.

Big Ott was passively sl�ed. He gouted the head of the group of men who held him among them, of course, from men who need them. Roodies there was no need. What were a few days in fall. Ott knew the repass. He tintacles extended and had a high place. He had to follow the last staying, he fell more than a few weeks at best. He was sort of glad that yellow guy had made his getaway. He couldn't be counted on to hold his saw. And to follow the end of the time, he fell to know how to hold his tongue tight between his teeth in things like this. Those small town birds were harder to deal with in things like this. They were very good to be in the most. Well, he'd let things ride to them. Well, he'd let things ride and go without any. He grinned sneeringly as the marshal shot questions at him. Surely they didn't credit him with as little sense as to answer question. "I will write to you," he said. "Why? You find out these things for yourself. You had the guy in your hands here. You seen him as soon as you seen me. If you did, you would think them can't. If you don't know him neither do I, see! Why don't some of you follow him instead of dancers around here in the dark hugging each other." He laughed so much that he was soوک Jade. Chagrined and a bit overwaved by the high handed methods of the big city crook the marshal destructed. But unaccounted as it might be to the end of the day, he was not to be caught napping in the matter of holding onto him when caught.

THE WATCHER ACTS
From the safe vantage point of the high weeds in a vacant lot across from the little red brick structure that was the village calabose, Harry Drane saw the little man usher Zola into the door and enter it after her. He saw the light go on in the little window high up at one side. Sudden impulses seized the weak chimney youth. Looking furtively up and down the deserted street he darted out and crossed to the deep shadows alongside the building. At the outer side of the sidewalk's edge was a hitching post for such of the denizens of the nearby farming community who still drove horses into the small town. For a moment Harry had paused at a post and fumbled about it with both hands, busily all the while furtively watching the closed door. When he encountered into the shadows he had a short length of rope in his hand and played it along the sidewalk where he let it lay, a carelessly dropped string in the darkness.
Whistling, with a fascious remark flung back as he closed and locked the door, the man who had disappeared inside with Zola a few minutes earlier, emerged alone. He stepped out briskly in the direction from which

Then there will be recriminations; she will blame you for not marrying her and you will blame yourself.

couples who went the orthodox way. Just because love stories always end at the altar is no sign that they couldn't last longer. When books do deal with marriage it is always to depict unhappy ones. But this does not mean that unhappiness is the rule in marriage. It merely means that unhappiness is more dramatic than happiness. There is always more to say about an unhappy situation. And "Talk" is the business of newspapers and books, the bread-and-butter of the writing profession. So forget what you've read and heard about marriage; enter into it with a fresh mind and do the best you can. All marriages are trial marriages.

He was a great believer in the power of that appliance known as chivalry, and always treated his female companions as if they were something likely to break it handled a little roughly. He figured that the little unemployed during that period who heightened the life of his son was still the dope for the modern swain to spying on his unsupporting girl friend. The fact that his line had so far missed the last year yet caused him to doubt his effectiveness. The belief that the Heavy Runnies appreciated some sort of a constant shazening in body and split more than any other attitude on the part of a suitor was firmly embedded in him and.

There was Basil Croquere, a handsome Negro freedom, who was one of the best fencing pasters to old New Orleans and taught fashionable young men the art of the sword. Then there were the Quarter-room balls held in an old building back of St. Louis cathedral which only wealthy white men could attend in the gay days before the Civil war. And then there is the stirring account of Marie Laveau, Voodoo queen, who terrorized the city not so long ago, the great plagues, the floods, the French spars, the duels, and, oh, just any number of quaint and queer things.

African stories. Some of the sizzled
sailors of Africa. This book, like all that Ossendowki wrote, is a celebration. It will be remembered as the anthology of the Ossendowki work, and he fails to capture the spirit and picture it as it is. It has a style and a charm that is not found in any of Africa, in only 475 pages, he writes a glimpse of West Africa with a story of a wgope of West Africa that has not divided himself of the Orient. Ossendowki writes about observers and accounters.

Barry rolled a discarded dry goods box close to the side of the wall just underneath the window and climbing up on top of it gripped the iron bars with his hands and raised himself to a level with the window. His face lighted with satisfaction at what he saw within. With her beautiful head bowed between her hands Zola sat on the side of the cot. Barry gave a soft whistle like the call of a bird. Immediately the woman looked up, a look of incredulous bewilderment on her face. Barry whistled again. Her window and a quick light suffused her face and stood just beneath him. The bars were very close together but the window could open easily. Barry slid it up softly from the outside and dropped the keys with a little clink upon the floor at her feet.
ESCAPE AGAIN
"Beat it," he said, "and meet me up the street around on the other side. I got the car parked there. Ott is waitin' for me to bring it around to take him out that, but I ain't gonna risk it this late. I tell him the bulls was trailing me an 'beat it to town with you. Maybe they will getaway we'll get away Now, you beat it right away. I got that guy tied up on the other side of this playhouse. But the rest of them may come back anytime, now." He smiled down at the woman looking up at him and scrambling down, disappeared in the darkness. As Zola fled into the night from the door of the calaboose she heard trampling of many feet and Big Ott's raucous, mocking laughter to her above the grauer tones of the boat about while before bad so summarily brought him to the prison cell from which Barry had rescued her.
"It's good to be back home again anhow," Big Ott's voice boomed through the corridors of the stone jail as the guard preceded him to his cell. "Them hick jails is the bunk." The guard laughed with him in a friendly fashion. "Well, I hope your little playmate will play nice on you, he said, as he unlocked the big door behind the side. An old, white haired derelict rose from among the tumbled covers of the iron cot and blinked up at him. His eyes were red and sodden with the spree he had been on. Ott grinned in sympathetic understanding as the old fellow put his coffee brown hand up to his head and groomed. "Snap out of it, brother, the worst is yet to come," he confided jokingly.
A DERELICT
It had been a long time since old John Belling had been closely companioned and Big Otto was bored with the delay in obtaining his freedom. "Hick" town justice was slow to see the light and the election for county officers was near. It was a bad time to be caught in the net. Big Otto talked to old John Belling, outcast. The brown man listened. At times he, too, talked, but his talk was desultory, wandering. He spoke alouds of the places of life and striving for the future. It was as though he wished to forget his own people and the nearer places in his own homeland.
At last one day Big Ot told him of Zola. It was on the day that David had been transferred to their corridor. Old John fell for David at once and David seemed to find comfort in the companionship of the old man. The name of Zola had sent David into a morose silence but it seemed to open some hidden channel in the older man's interest. "Zola," he repeated the name after Big Ot, softly. Ot laughed coarsely. "Yeah, that's her name and she's some dame for looks, she is. But——" his face lowered and his eyes were eager—— "She's gotta be tamed an' I'm the guy that will tame her. David shot a look of flame at the big black, but suddenly sneered and looked at me. "That's the big stiff that tried to interfere between us," he whispered hoarsely to his companion. I got him fixed good and plenty as you will notice. Tell you all about it when we go back to the cell." He whinked ponderously at the old man. "VISITOR FOR DAVID CONWAY," the guard's voice cut across
