URGE NEGRO AS GOTHAM MAYOR 5 PRICE CENTS VOL. XI THE MIRROR BY C. F. RICHARDSON KIRBY'S RAYSHORE HOME JOB FEAST FIT FOR A KING IMPORTED HAVANA CIGARS As a member of the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club, known to radio fans as the "Sacred National Jubilee Hare," he hosted the Feast at Killkane, the bayshore summer home of Hon. J. H. Kirby, Houston's multi-millionaire lumberman and capitalist, where the club meets at intervals, at the annual picnic and outing of the officials and office force of the Kirby Lumber Company and associated members of the club at Killkare upon the invitation of Hon. J. W. Link, who ranks as one of Houston's and South Texas members of the Kirby Lumber Company, who ranks as one of Houston's and South Texas members of the principal promoter of Montrose when that exclusive aristocratic addition originally placed on the local market. Numbered among the piekernickes of the Church of the Sacred Heart of West, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, Milam and McGowan, who extended an invitation to the choral club on Sunday night, August 4, beginning at 7:48 p.m. Numbered in music by the choral club, a colorized orchestra (Baby Rays) furnished dance music for those who will be attending cooks, waiters and their attendants, in large numbers, played third part in making the outing at the church. ..... The club is now singing a new song, entitled "When Do We Go To Kill Him?" just as we are going to conclude this weekly dissertation or what-have-you, there came a gentle rap on the screen of the Epicenter, the Revered J. H. Boyce, formerly archbishop of the Texas diocese of the Protestant Episcopal Church, at Tyler, with a box of imported Hailey George Webster and this columnist. With S. B. "Cimbee" Williams close friend of Rev. Boyce, out of the University of Illinois, he wrote "Old Nu York," it is possible that these smokes will have a longer earth-toned flavor, but he here; for that investate smoker can certainly admire and consumes the kind of smoke you are away, "Cimbee," for these are certainly some good smokes that are clean and they are "sweet to the last puff," with apologies to a celebrated Rev. Boyce is now rector of St. Luke's Protestant Episcopal Church in Chicago, which is now stationed since last October, while his wife is head of the education University and is now attending the University of Illinois working on her master's degree. He was on route to Champlain, Illinois, to join his wife THE HOUSTON INFORMER Colored Preacher To Run For Mayor of New York City New York—(ANP)-According to an announcement made Tuesday by Bishop Edward Johnson, secretary of the Ministerial Evangelistic Alliance for Washington, D. C., had been asked to run for mayor of New York City on an independent ticket. Rev. Drew, who while preaching in Washington, D. C., maintains his citizenship here and as an ambassador, will be the candidate for vice-president of the United States on the ticket headed by General Jacob S. Coxey. In announcing the fact that Dr. Drew had been approached to run for president of the proposed candidate had agreed to consider the matter, but would not give a definite answer immediately, stating that the present incumbent, Mayor Jimmie Walker, had been the best mayor New York City had ever as far as an Negroes were concerned. RACE LABORERS LAND GOOD JOBS REPORT SHOWS RACE LABORERS LAND GOOD JOBS REPORT SHOWS New York City—At the University of Kentucky in Lexington, a large new building is being created. White masonas asked that an all white glove be used, but the contractor insisted on dividing the assignments among workers of both races, the industrial relations department of the National Park Service, through its Lexington correspondent, T. Arnold Hill, director of the department, cites other gains in industry for Negroes during the month of June. Significant Gains Noted After several years of service as stenographer in the historical department of the state at Des Moines, Iowa, a Negro woman on the death of a woman in her 80s, she was a trustee of the department. A Negro stenographer, who had been operating an elevator in a large hardware concern, was given a chance to demonstrate his worth in a clerical position. This happened in Fort Wayne. In the office of a Negro reporter, the operators have been introduced into a store hitherto employing white girls to perform the job. In one of a Negro reporter's in one of the 18 branches of a hosiery store system, and the addition of 18 groomers in state hospitals, the company already employed at the local Ford plant and two asphalt sprayers were employed. A large company large a large contracting firm. The new million dollar Y. W. C. A. building is being owned by a crew of colored workers. Movements and Changes The usual/influx of students to large cities in the North is noted by correspondents in Philadelphia, Newark and Chicago. Movements of other labor are indicated into Chicago, Detroit, Toledo, Philadelphia. New Labor is not being assimilated rapidly in the first two cities, and both of them report considerable idleness. Charlotte, N. C., reports another instance of the vanishing discrimination of white workers against "Negro jobs." Heavy trucks and transfers are being manned by whites, where colored men were used exclusively. White schoolboys are taking the place of elevator girls. Unemployment On The Wane An improved situation is indicated throughout the country as to unskilled and semi-skilled employment. Much of this relief is admittedly due to the seasonal boom in construction and other 'outside' work. Thus, Negros are favored in construction and raxing job in Des Monies, in road and track labor at Hot Spring, Ark., Charlotte, N. C., and other Southern points. Brooklyn reports numbers of Negroes employed in the construction of a new subway. In Pittsburgh coal mines and construction projects have taken up much of the slack in employment; Detroit's city departments have added many colored laborers to their rolls, as has also one large factory; many unskilled and a few skilled men have found work in the building activities at Newark. Business organizations here are emphasizing the necessity of establishing businesses among Negroes by Negroes to offer employment to their group. as a part of his vacation, and we are hoping that he will have a delightful trip.

He was scheduled to speak at Sixth Avenue Baptist Church, but a downcast Ehonds was he accompanied by Dr. and Mrs. O. L. Eldredge, Marshall. The Bishop remembered him with a dinner.

C. FISHER (For The Associated Negro Press) St. Louis, Mo.—One of the most ambitious plans of the Imperial Council, Ancient, Egyptian, Arabic Order, Nobles of Mystic Shrine, when that body convenes at Chicago in August for its thirtieth annual convention, will be a proposal of securing a national shrine to care for old and indigent members of the order, providing the� for the planning of its woman's auxiliary, according to information in St. Louis. The idea of a home for decrepit members does not carry with it a plan to build or buy an institution, but to use the place already established, in its own place, to be a place for its woman's auxiliary, according to its order. It is understood that since the order has recently been relieved of a defense fund assessment, created 11 years ago to finance legal battles for its fraternal rights, the said funds were not in the hands of the state establishment of the national shrine. This proposed movement explains a principle of general law set forth in the sweeping decision of the Shrine victory in the United States Supreme Court, last month. In awarding our right to the right of the State to be an apparent by the court that the initiative acts and practices of the Shrine other did not constitute a fraudulent deception injurious to the white order. On the contrary the evidence disclosed that our organization "has been in the hands of the State to be an apparent false pretense." The influence of the imperial council of Shriners will be asserted more strongly than ever at the Chicago convention. The decision of the court sets the purpose of the action of the State to be to with such substantial backgrounds the order of mystic Shrine is safeguarded from interference on the part of any of the fraternal organizations. More than seventy-five thousand representatives of every branch of Federal government will assemble in Chicago on August 11 to 17 for their important conclaves. GREAT NORTHERN WILL CONTINUE NEGRO WAITERS GREAT NORTHERN WILL CONTINUE NEGRO WAITERS Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—Reports and rumors that Negro cooks and waiters on the dining cars operated by the Great Northern Railway Company would be replaced by white girls and women, were discovered to be unfounded and false by the Associated Negro Press, Wednesday. In a letter to the Associated Negro Press, concerning the reports, Ralph Budd, president of the railroad, described the "great change in the state of the town," taken or contemplated. He stated further that "I think the Negro waiters are far superior to any other for-dining car service." Have Improved Conditions Instead of discontinuing the services of Negro cooks and waiters, Mr. Budd, pointed out, the Great Northern has recently taken a step by which the working conditions for these workers have been greatly improved. One of the worst conditions faced by cooks and waiters on railroads is the lack of proper sleeping quarters, en route. Waiters and cooks have been forced to sleep in the dining cars on improvised beds and for a certain number of hours, as the car must be properly "aired out" before breakfast is served. The Great Northern Railway Company has remedied this condition by providing a sleep rate-serving quarters for the dining car help. "These sleeping quarters," said Mr. Budd, "are the regular tourist berths which are placed in the rear of what we call the dormitory car, just ahead of the dining car. We believe this is the most advanced movement which has been made in connection with any dining car department and is a great boon to the employees besides insuring patients and their care, and also providing in the dining cars, which cannot be had if these cars are used for sleeping quarters."

Gilbert should have selected another street than Mt. Vernon on which to promode, for on-site thoroughfare and that upon arrival John A. Ackerby of Cambridge for selected that street on which to row. It so happened that the inspector had been lurging around for more than a week, charged with charges of concealed leasing property and non-support of his wife. Inspector Harry McCoffey, disclosed Gilbert stepping down the grade. He inspected him down to Cambridge and locked him. TAR HEEL STATE NEGRO TEACHER RAPS DePRIEST TAR HEEL STATE NEGRO TEACHER RAPS DePRIEST Roper, N. C.—(ANP)—The attack made upon congressman Oscar DePriest of Illinois by J. J. Clemens, principal of a local school, has been interpreted as an effort on the part of the state to treat children rather than practice through it, though it has been upheld upon the white folks of this section. Clemmons, who is reported having said that he preferred to teach children, has been accused, because "his folks" needed to be taught to respect white people and to embarrass some of his white friends in cross-examination, scored Mr. DePriest's conviction. It did not represent the opinion of the Negro race. Mr. DePriest of the Illinois congressman on the part of the school teacher who was born in the West Indies, has revived reports of other occurrences of white people by whom he is "highly concerned an occasion when he fired two of his teachers because they re-raised his sirt," and "no sirt." At this time he is alleged to have sought the aid of the police and threatened to issue warrants. While Clemmons might be well thought of by a certain group of whites, he is not held in high esteem by many. He is publicly been publicly denounced by Negroes and at one time a group of citizens who are considered to the best interests of the group. SAINT LOUIS ART EXHIBIT CLOSES; PULLED CROWDS SAINT LOUIS ART EXHIBIT CLOSES; PULLED CROWDS St. Louis, Mo.—(ANP)—The first exhibition of local Negro art which has been on display several weeks at St. Louis Public Library, under auspices of the Urban League, which conducts social service work among our people, ended last week with the awarding of prizes. H. Montgomery of 3929 Market Street, was awarded the Urban League gold medal for the best work. The collection of pictures in oil, water colors, and pen and ink, represented the artistic strivings of nearly 40 persons of our group here, many of them self-taught, and most of them are of the same age as the others.

FINAL NUMBER 11 GARY NEGROES PLAN APPEAL IN SCHOOL MATTER Gary, Ind.—(ANP) Steps are to be taken to appeal the Gary school case to a higher court, it has been announced here after the return of Atkinson McK. Baccony from Cleveland, where they conferred with Arthur B. Spirgain of the civil rights organization. The case grew out of the appropriation of $15,000 to start the erection of a school building after a strike by students of the Emerson High School who resented the attendance of colored pupils. While the three colored students who already were attending Emerson were allowed to graduate this June, the school will be admitted. Colored students attend the Freeboll High School, however, which has a foreign and colored school population. Negroes comprise 38 per cent of the pupils. Emerson is in a white section predominantly American. It is pointed out, however, that while the action to build the separate high school may be stayed, the state law of Indiana permits the segregation of Negro students where desired by the municipality, the only restricting measure the accommodation must be equal. The son of Justice of Peace William C. Hueston was among students who graduated this year from Emerson. When Judge Hueston attempted to enlist a younger son in Emerson, however, it is said that treatment was refused. Socialists Name Negro For Solon In Harlem District New York City. - At a recent city convention of New York Socialists, Prank R. Crosswail was chosen to make the race for congress in the 21st Presidential election, expired term of the late Royal M. Weller, a Democrat, who died several months ago. The 21st Congressional District takes in the greater portion of Negroes who can easily elect a Negro to the national Senate, if the voters of the district would register and vote for a race candidate. Within recent years, several Negroes have made the run for congress. In 1927 Rev. Geo. Franier Miller of Brooklyn, chosen by the Socialists, was the first Negro to be nominated for the office by any of the major parties. Since then, Dr. Chas. Roberts, Republican; A. Philip Randolph, Socialist; B. Brown Socialists, have made the run. Mr. Crosswail was formerly one of the leaders of the Pullman Portern Union. He is in present editor of Negro Labor News Service and a lecturer at the Pullman party. He has been active in the trade movements for the last 15 years.

ODD FELLOWS' GOLDEN JUBILEE GALVESTON, TEXAS, AUGUST 5-9, 1929 PAGE TWO—FIRST IN EDITORIALS ODD G G. W. JACKSON District Grand Master Cordiaan A. H. MIMS Deputy District Grand Master Calvert J. H. RIDDLE Endowment-Burial Secretary Dedication Honour S. M. COLLINS District Grand Auditor El Paso F. M. JOHNSON District Grand Auditor Denton 10 (By G. W. JACKSON) The Odd Fellows of Texas will be called upon to show by a modest demonstration the growth and progress they have made in fifty years in Texas. The order was organized in the United States in 1843 and Peter Oden was the organizer. The Texas Odd Fellows were organized 36 years later, 1879, after Peter Oden hung the first charter upon the walls of the first lodge in New York. Texas needs to congratulate herself upon the fact that she not only commenced early but has never turned aside one moment to listen to the voice of discord or any disruption. Indeed, there has been no discord in Texas since its organization. In this article we should mention some of the leaders, who were in the making of the order in Texas and we, who meet to celebrate the "Golden Jubilee," should note with pride the fathers, who have led us steadily and gently on in friendship, love and truth, these fifty years. The first lodge was organized at Bryan, Texas, the second at Galveston, Texas, the third at Hempstead, Texas, and the fourth at Corvisana, Texas. The first grand lodge was organized at Galveston, Texas and we are meeting at Galveston to celebrate our "Golden Jubilee" Our Leaders W. H. Whitley was the first grand master; Ed William was the second grand master; G. W. Franklin was the third grand master; D. Aber was the fourth grand master; H. C' Bell was the fifth grand master; H. G. Goree was the sixth grand master; G. Jackson is now the seventh grand master. Deputy Grand Masters The deputy grand master has been as follows, G.W. G. Worter, D. A. Abner, A.J. Madoo, C. A. Harriot, T. B. Harris, H. G. Gosee, P. W. Pucker, G. W. Jackson and A. H. Mims, present grand master. District Grand Secretaries Charley Ferguson, G. W. Jackson, J. P. Starks and the present grand secretary, J. T. Ewing. Grand Treasurer> R. H. Perry, H. W. Gilliam, J. Jackson, J. H. W. Blye, R. A. Yosek, G. W. Andrews and V. G. Goree, present grand treasurer. District Grand Lodges The first District Grand Lodge was organized in Waco in 1889 with H. C. Bell as grand master. With the Lodge, the community of America into districts, Texas became district No. 25 and the Household of Ruth became No. 13. Thus commenced the expansion of Odd Fellows in the district. The order has grown into one great body of men and women who have done much to develop the race to the point of the present status. Let friendship, and go forward till it covers the earth. Hard Year For Fraternals We do not hope to make excuses for any short comings which might have developed among the forces' which have been held in the field during the year. But let us hope that everyone did his best along the line wherever he was at work. This has been a hard year in the field of fraternal orders. Members of the fraternal orders and agents but many have fallen out for reasons, they say, of financial depression. This has been a hard year in many other ways. Banks have failed, robbers have stolen money, even robbers have stolen property, and above all there was the industrial depression which has in toto given us a very hard year. The drive closes only to permit us to celebrate our fifth anniversary and get ready to keep the bail-a rolling. THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1929 Mary MRS L. M. HUGHES District Most Noble Governor Household of Ruth MRS. G. C. HOUSTON District Grand Worthy Recorder Household of Rx Houston Mary E. MRS. G. C. HOUSTON District Grand Worthy Household of Ruth Household Mr. toll counsel of Mr. median born among people in the poor MRS. E. S. KENNARD District Grand Treasurer Household of Ruth Houston What Has Been Accomplished The accomplishments of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows can hardly be measured in dollars and cents. It measures in depth the Atlantic on one side and the Pacific on the other, the islands of the sea at one end and the Great Lakes on the other. We shall not fumble with figures, nibble with English words to express the volume of work done by this order since its organization in this country.Words cannot express non-language portray the great work in human relief the order has done since its advent among the people. And still does not attempt to proclaim upon the house tops that they are doing millions of good to the people. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows have followed in their mission the example of the lowly Neazareen, who did his work without pomp and ostentation, so that today we preclaim with one voice that He is the Christ. And so thoroughly has the work of this order been done that men and women with one voice will say that the Odd Fellows are filling their mission wherever they have gone. There are 30,000 men and women in this jurisdiction; $14,000,000 has been spent in relief; $20,000,000 insurance in force; $575,000 in valuations are only figures when compared with the human relief which the facts will show when estimated. The Flood at Houston "God works in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps upon the seas and rides up the storm." And so He came riding upon the storm up the streets of Houston and filled the basement full of water. "God is we are pleased to know that God is no respector of persons. What was done to the temple of our order was done also to the manions of the rich. Our order may get out of the flood with a damage of $7000 while others receive $1000. Let us be content to praise God from whom all blessings flow. The Endowment Department The secretary of the endowment department has been sick for several months and notwithstanding that we have not worked on the work has been done without friction. That is to say that the work has been done well. We are glad to learn that the secretary is able to be in the office for the first time in five months. The Old Odd Fellows Home Among our recommendations at the last grand lodge was one asking for an old Odd Fellows home. This recommendation and will come before us at the coming grand lodge. In our travel over the jurisdiction we are convinced that the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows should do something for the old and decrepit members of the community to charity to prepare for the well member and do nothing for the sick and decrepit member. It is poor charity to put flowers on the dead member and put coals of fire on the living members. Texas there are old members, lanes, crippled, blind and sick and no one to care for them but sometimes alone, neglected, distant kind that hardly stopped long enough to give the lives of those who the Odd Fellows ought to come to their senses and relieve this condition or come down off the walls. This is the condition that we hope to see removed before we die. God grant that the hearts of the members of the community should move at once in this situation. Galveston Is Ready? We are pledging our members that Galveston is ready for the "Golden Jubilee." Some one tried to make the public believe that Galveston is not ready. We are not going to believe after our repeated visits to the Island City and her repeated assurance to us that she is going to put the program over that she is not ready. Always we are vouching for her first, last and always, till we have been deceived. Look out, Galveston, we are coming! AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER JAMES T.

Rose and her week was not forthcoming. Rose and his crack aggregation of musicians all walked out of the pit, leaving the room. Without any orchestra, there was no music to play.

But they, too, were out of luck Friday night, not receiving any pay. The unfortunate incident throws a number of questions. Whites Take Negro Jobs In Southland Report Shows Chicago, IL.—(ANP)—Work which was at one time classified as "Negro jobs" is being done by white laborers, according to the Federal Department of Labor. "Certain kinds of work were traditionally followed only by Negroes; a white man lost taste by taking them," says an article which appeared in the July issue of the department's Monthly Labor Review. Now industry is largely machine, and the resulting increased productivity has decreased the demand for men. "In growing struggle for employment, old traditions are thrown into the discard and the Negro finds himself meeting white competition in jobs long regarded as his exclusive field." Once For Colored Only "White men are driving trucks and express wagons in the South, repairing cars and delivering ice on their hakes, where formerly Norges delivered and white wagons delivered and as waiters and bellens in hotels, and doing other tasks once considered laborious." The writer predicts that this fierce competition for a chance to work will make Norges the most prominent industries such as the cotton mills now excite danger," he says, "haunted the industrial use of the Norges may go through the same stages, from the construction, long hours, poor wages, and a submerged submergence of the South."

There is an evident impression that the campaign will terminate in a administration because of the depleted treasury. No one undertakes to be the chief word of administration but it appears that extrangUAGE is to be the chief word of city. Is known that Wilson is preparing to show on the floor at Atlantic City where every dollar has gone, and has been within property by the time of the election. Most of the members of the order have drawn out properly by voucher, but they do not admit that the money was great opposition to the continuance in office of F. R. Wilson as one member of the great opposition to the very simple fact that, “whereas once we had money in the treasury we had to grant to Grand Treasureer James Martin, pretend that only $20000 remains in our hands.” In addition to the reported depleted treasury, Mr. Wilson will have to take over the ruling ruler forever. Just why some other brother is not entitled to rise to the position, he says, is when he is equally as competent, as question Mr. Wilson will also have to answer. Carus Holstein's candidacy seems to be the most natural one in years of his career, as he met the meeting of the grand lodge in hungary when an inlansion was threatening its destruction and its disintegration if it entered the gates of the lodge. But there was a wide breach when that there was a wide breach when the lodge of the You Kiss simply and grand exalted rule was determined to take the convention away from New York. The wise ones say that Finley and the removal of it had been removed because it had been in force for 19 years, made a promise that he would let the convention come to New York. SSED WITH MM LOOKS FEELS RES A CO C.J.WALK "25YEARSTH WALKER'S GLOSSINE MADE BY THE MADAM C.J.WALKER HAMMERSTEIN MILK CO. INDIANAPOLIS, IN 902-252-6111 Here is where Casper Holstein appeared as the most timely benefactor the order has ever known and made Elk history. With the convention scheduled to meet within five or six weeks, Holstein stepped into the breach on the 21st day of July. After Judge Lynch, sitting in the supreme court at White Plains, had granted the order to the B. P. O. E. to show cause why the injunction should not be lifted, the white Elks refused to accept the order, unless directed by Murry Hulbert, a prominent New York politician, and member of New York Lodge No. 1, B. P. O. E., and subsequently grand exalted ruler of the white Elks. Mr. Holstein solicited the assistance of one of the leading Democrats of New York who got in touch with Mr. Hulbert over the telephone. Mr. Hulbert issued the order to accept service and instructed Holstein to go back to White Plains with his attorney the next day. Mr. Hulbert even designated a member of the white Elks to go to White Plains and lend every assistance possible to Holstein and his friends. On the morning of July 22, 1927, it was Holstein who met the grand exalted ruler and the grand legal advisor, Perry W. Howard, at the railroad station and drove both to White Plains, where a thirty-day stay of the injunction was granted. Later, the injunction was entirely removed, after hanging over the heads of colored Elks for 19 years. This is the service. Casper Holstein rendered not only the New York Elks but the entire grand jurisdiction and no one disputed at the time that he had suddenly become the chief benefactor of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. From that day to this, Elkdom has waited for a chance to reward Casper Holstein. They have waited to see if Finley Wilson was big enough and broad enough to accord to Holstein the recognition due him when Wilson and Perry Howard were powerless to do anything. So it is that when Wilson announced his candidacy again this year, all Elkdom thought it was high time to reward Holstein since Finley has shown no disposition to do so, for a gravelly of the fact that he has been at the office longer than any man ever attempted to remain in office without any excuse except his personal desire to live and die as the grand exalted ruler. Part of the agreement made with the grand exalted ruler was the payment before the grand exalted ruler would let the convention go to New York, where he would pay another $2,500 to local attorneys and pay $5,000 to help repay the treasured financial loss incurred by Wilson's obstinacy concerning the convention being held in that city, that should not have cost more than $10,000, and the services of friends which money could not buy.

In date, North Carolina schools with 2,200 classrooms and a capacity of 100,000 or a third of the total number of schools they have contributed $629,000 in this work. The Rosewood Fund has given $250,000 to the county, and state agencies have contributed $252,000. Twelve high schools are accredited list last year, and there are 60 such schools in 1928 and 18,000 graduated from accredited schools and 925 went to schools for higher education. He has been the principal in a higher training of Negroes in North Carolina and the state has spent over $100 million on events at these the speaker said. He then made what results have been from his efforts in the education he cited the decreasing percentage in the committed universities to the elevation of the standards of the race. The white students have better education for Negroes, he declared, and are willing to provide support. Looking to the future, the state office said, the effort is to build up the state's military capabilities, the state, not to do anything radical or make any revolutionary changes. accept the money when they saw Casper Volkenbuehl with his political friend John McCain. He joined a junction all by himself. This is another charge of extravagance which Mr. McCain said when the truth is known in this campaign by all the Elks, whether North or South or the far points of the North or South. He said the far points of the North or South. He said the chief campaign leader at an Atlantic City, city, may mark the end of Brother Wilson believes in reward for service rendered, he算命 that the Brother Wilson believes in reward for service rendered, he算命 that the Brother Wilson believes in reward for service rendered.

AUGUST 3. 1929 RACE MINISTERS HEAR SPEECH ON "EDUCATION" By J. A. J. OLIFFLE, Personal Director, University Extension Service (A beater delivered before Colored Ministerial Alliance on "Educat- ion Presidency and Government. I am here today to talk about education, and what it means to you people. When I have finished, I feel well and waltalk with your group. Your extension Service has something well worth your time and eff- erence and waltalk with your group. Amy for you to expatiate on the value of education to you geographer. There is the value of education as well or better than I. You are all educators living and school were found wherever people were living. At the present time becoming and calling people away from religion and education. The university business games and several other skill temptations. Therefore we must put forth more effort on behalf of religion About one year ago ex-President Coolidge, in a speech before the United Nations, stated that "Education is the most valuable commodity on earth, but it is the hardest." Coolidge co-founded Ex-President Coolidge finished a course in executive business management at the University of Chicago House. He realized that he would be confronted with many new problems, so that the only way to acquire his new life was by home study. Our government is doing everything it can to further home study interest. Our state administrations are also also doing everything to better citizenship. A great many of our leading businesses are doing their employees to study at home some even going so far as to offer them a degree and complete a course. They all realize that education will go far in the solving of our economic problems. Many years ago, in the then wilderness state of Illinois, a young man could be seen going from place to place at the end of his days work, borrowing books to study. Often he walked long distances in the rain and some to get a single book. His friends, a fictitious man, had rather than a magician him and his mother and only his mother, egged him on. He listened to her, and went on. I will study and prepare myself, and some day my chance will come. The chance did come, and the world today reverses the memory of that same boy—Abraham Lincoln, the great friend of the colored race, and a living inspiration to all the world. He knew the value of the education he created almost from his believable difficulties to get his knowledge. One of my favorite pictures is that of the young Lincoln, lying before the open fire, studying by the light of the flickering flame. I will study and get ready, and some day my chance will come. The hate President Wilson, on three different occasions, said: "I am prepared. I have studied these things." I was given the name to the president of Princeton University, the second when he was made governor of New Jersey, and the third was when he was made president of the United States. It is wonderful, gentlemen, to be prepared when opportunity comes as was Lincoln and Wilson. said, "My friends, we must solve our own problems. Education is the only course we must take, our most worthy successor at Tuxekee, is always advancing more education as we grow. We have more than anything written in United States, in a poor boy, with very few chances to improve himself." What we had, he said, was a very small circle as one of the great poets of all time. Prince, priest, colored congregants from Illinois, in a speech delivered in his state, recently said: "The collected people must be improved, their communities must be improved. What we need in more trained and educated men and women of our race, we need to pay and more disagreeable things, while the good positions go to those high Chalmers, one of our great manufacturers, said: "We use 4 M's in modern business, money, machinery, and tools, and these are easy to obtain, but it is very hard to get men trained along the way. We need education will help us find them." Roger Belson, the country's greatest statistician was speaking at a conference a few month ago. He had been assigned as his subject: "What Does the United States Need Most?" Bathsheba Belson wrote: "More business men." The business men there squirmed a little. Ask to qualify that statement more. Gurkens, listen closely to this partner and meet him. You can only call him $39 per hour. That's the class that all new employees your company will withhold. The semi-trained mind may reach $2,000 per year. Now listen, the man with the best business skills. Your people have their own business, insurance companies, real estate firms and have fine office buildings in many cities and there is a great future in them. ero. Where are you going to get the properly trained men and women to fill the positions that will open up? At college? How many young men and women in your churches can afford to give up everything and spend the time at college that is needed? You can answer that better than I can. Another thing—suppose that you do send your young people away to college. They become immediately exposed to temptations and influences that are foreign to their home influences. Is it better to keep them at home? I leave it to you. A few years ago several of the leading educators of this country conceived the idea of getting the right to use the same type of instruction as is used in the colleges and universities in their classrooms it would be a wonderful thing for the home student. They succeeded in their efforts and today we can offer to your people exactly the same class of work as could be obtained were they to become resident students at only a fraction of the cost. And even this little cost may be spread over several months. Thus we say there is no excuse for the ambitious boy or girl not getting an education. They will get the same type of material as is given in Harvard, Syracuse and other leading schools. We offer only business courses because the facts in the case lead us to believe that the program is designed for those on and on are over done. Many colleges discourage students from taking business courses and statistics, however, lead us to believe that there are many of any of us, as we will have enough business trained men and women, to take care of the requirements of any of our manufacturing anything we want in quantities. This problem has been solved by the introduction of our products and the produce of our products to market our manufactured products and the produce of our products to solve this problem is by the introduction of more business trained nails. We have three complete courses, all on business subjects. Salesmanshin Our salemannship course is the one used by the Harvard Post-Graduate School of the leading schools and universities of the country. Copwritten by Geo. Pete Plate and thorough course of its kind have been adopted as standard by many large business groups for the training of the faculty. The elaborated by the addition of a section written by a group of prominent educators headed by Prof. Bori Sidis of Harvard University. The course covers technology, physiognomy, character science, physiognomy, character science, in fact, everything that should be in the mental equipment of the students. We are all in some measure or other salesman. No matter what we are from morning to night. This course may be used to advantage by any person engaged in business life. Geo. A. H. H. was a man engaged in this line of work. At the close of the late war he was selected by the government to go to Europe to be discharged, so that they might enter the world of business equipped with the work he was highly commented on by President Wilson. General Perkins, General Motors Equitable Life Insurance, Protectograph, Ford Motor Company and the Marshall Field Co. are only salesmen that use this course to help their men. Business Training A course designed to do the work accomplished by the ordinary business manager. The course for Grete Shorndar which is demanded by all large corporations, typewritten training, and a business management, business English, secretarial training, and a business management course. This work is taken from the curriculum of the school only the best bachings chosen in the year.

We are the proud possessors of the privilege of sending this work to our students for word and anecdotal support in the classrooms of Northwestern University, the public accountant device. We offer unlimited coaching to the graduates of this course, until they can pass the course and obtain the license. The course covers three full years at the university and fitts the students to take on or to hold a responsible position with someone else.

NOTES PAGE SIX—FIRST IN COMPLETENESS FUNNEST COOK STAGE SUCCESS; WINS AUDIENCES BY ROGER DIERI (For The Associated Negro Press) Something in excess of ten years ago, Marsha "Garbage" Rodgers was what is known collectively as the schoolmaster, been graduated to this eminence from the school of experience where she served, and been taught that the student may stone day catch on to a means of livelihood that can be called regular. A job that odd-job man would scarer bear description, inasmuch as his condition was that any enemy could wish upon him. When he had made his way from the city of St. Louis to the city of St. Louis, the then youthful Rodgers had a suspicion that he had arrived and he had, in the midst of his journey, passed off as contentment. There was that thing about cooking that Rodgers had his wife and he was not disposed to complain that Lady Luck had only succeeded in success. He thanked her for what he had done and prepared to make the His kitchen, however, soon came to be known for something other than out. "He was the jolly cook who laughed it off when the greece came spitting into his face. The odd job around the neighborhood used to come around to Rodgers' kitchen to hear him. He kept them in a good mood. He was popularity, spread beyond his kitchen into quarters in the city where it was soon destined to bring about a big and unsuspected change in the Of course, nobody was running around advertising what a funny guy could do. He was, he was, he was. Without any effort or intention, he just seemed to make people laugh. He was, he was, he was. Sometimes after Rodgers became a cook, Billy King one of the most popular actors in the "famous fun" fellow, and got an opportunity to meet him. Mr. King got to be traveling through the South with his show and was about to take an opportunity to meet him. Rodgers was offer'd "straight" man. Rodgers was offer'd because he thought that he would compete and play straight opposite the great Billy King, but because the work presented him was too much wanted to see something of the world. He therefore, put away his knives and joined Billy King's trumpet. He has been a trooper ever since. Plenty of people have a natural soot for him and the fame of the team of King and Rod. He has been a natural soot throughout the land of the ka klux Then King came home—to Chicago. The Grand Theater in those days, the years just after the war, was a place where Players were carving a niche for the players. King was building the town Billy King was building a musical comedy diversions. In these fares foe and Rodgers were naturally howevever, much more than a team of homelands, many employed friends. King's successes enabled him to purify his kingdom and automobile, his straight man, and came the chauffeur, and this car was used to take the two of them on their way to the concert. This close union and popularity continued between them until 1927. King's successes featured with Earl Dancer's feature, featuring Ehlel Waters. King and Dancer made the jumps from town to town in his MacFarlane, rather than on the street, with the Dancer show. Fill the right spot with King, but during the eight years he and King had worked together, making him a comedian in his own right. King had been the "works" of the theater, where any thought was given at all, as to whether Rodgers could stand up The ex-cook and straight man tackled the job of paddling his own canoe. His "premiere" at the Lafayette Theater in New York might have been called auspicious. Then he came home to Chicago, where he played desultory engagements until the opening of the million dollar Regal Theater. There were many names used to tickle the fancy when the Regal came to life. Fess Williams, the magnetic personality conductor of New York, was imported and his name put in the bright lights and daily papers. The calcium was turned on him as upon another Paul Ash. And there was the Right Quintette, led by the inimitable Clarence Tisdale. The Four Black Dots of Broadway fame added the issue of their names and many others. Finally, there was Rodgers. But it was, and seemed, a new Rodgers. No patron of the Regal in those days can forget the gales of laughter which were created by his sallier. It wouldn't let those early audiences sit still. His frontal thrusts of fun struck them in the face, un-awares, and made them forget themselves. It was not long before the mere mention of his name or the sight of him was enough to set the ripples of lauster in action. It was in these early days at the burgel that he made a new name for him, the man with the name, he had started off by styling his name, with he had imbibed the undeniable implication the name contained. The customers rave about the marcus Garbage was a marcus that cleared Marcus Garbage was a bad man, so bad the board of health would go into wild fetes, year after year. Free Williams was gone—back to New York. The Right Quintette and the left Quintette first show, save "Garbage" is no more, with on an intermittent contrainter of thousands of admirers. Before, Alberto Bertolini loved. Every. body knew her and everybody liked her. But Alberta never knew the popularity of "Garbage." Ramble through homes, high and low, and you'll find the picture of "Garbage." Go into the stores, or gaze into the shop windows. There also you'll find either his picture, or a plaster paris likeness fashioned by the sculptor, Barthe. "Garbage" has made himself Cecage's very warm. He doesn't have any place else because he doesn't have to. Chicago pays him well enough to let him live in a royal manner. He is a cook no longer. Now he is a king, ruler of an empire of fun. Out of what has this ex-cook fashioned the key to his success as a comedian? Of course, his principal asset is the existence of what is in nature, and is of the sense of what is funny to the other fellow. But this sense of objective humor is projected upon other things. One is Rodgers' ability to employ himself physically and mentally for the purpose at hand, and the other is a lively awareness of what is what. "Garbage" knows what will make humans beings laugh. Most of his capers have been performed before colored audiences, but his understanding of human nature is cosmic. He has that kind of intelligence which is rooted in feeling. Once an impression has been communicated from you to him, he never forgets the touch. He knows how you feel. He knows where and how to touch you to result. And with what One of the arts in which he expert is that of pantongime. There is no part of his body whose exact value as a fun producer he does not know. If it takes a foot, a knee joint, hands, arms, head, eyes, ears, or mouth, he knows just what to do. The say that whenever the late Florence Mills used to wear ear before he her audiences there was an indefinable something in her personality that moved the patrons to spontaneous bursts of applause. She had that about her which made you feel, without thinking so, that that was the thing to do. So it is with "Garbage". We have seen our ludicrous postures this mimicry and strutting many times, but still we laugh. They seem to be a source of a fountain of laughter. Few comedians have the voice of "Garbage." It is big, broad, and so norous. He has tested every power of it, the inflection that goes with every thought. If he must pretend he bluster of the so-called "bad man" he voice given his perfectly, or the unscented husband, the preacher or comic solicitor. He believes in a voice for all things. But it is in knowing what is what or his creative impulses that "Garbage" finds the greatest success. Week after week he has been forced to appear at the Regal in the comedy skits that are kept in stock for members, the profession throughout the country Charles Darrell, pioneer manager of the Regal, once commented that "Garbage" kept them all in a fright because they never knew what he was going to say. In other words, they never knew what he was going to have the impulse to "create." It is impossible to give "Garbage" a skit that he will not change by reaching out among the interests of the people and appropriating fads or fancies that hold sway. There have been many variants of the down-and-out vagrant and the bully policeman, but it took "Garbage" to tell such a policeman that he didn't care if he was Dan Jackson, he'd beat him up. That was at a time when the power of the late Dan Jackson was at its height. The effect of the statement was an explosion of laughter. If it's Jesse Binga and a new bank, Abbott's trip to Europe, unemployment, politics or what not, "Garbage" senses the use to which what is happening can be put. He colors and enlivens all he does with his gifted raillery at social custom and practice. Winfield, Female Impersonator, Goes Over Big In Salome New York. (ANP) The new Negro Art Theater made its bow to the professional world in the Cherry Lane Theater, down in Greenwich Village, Thursday evening to a distinctly well-known, included in the cast where Ardelle Mitchell-Dabney, Hamsley Winfield, late important members of the New York cast of "Harlem" both of whom had leading roles in the newer production. Of the performance, Robert Garland, Evening Celebration, was a full passage from the head, say: "Hemsley Winfield's 'Salome' at Cherry Lane in Own Class. Negro Impersonator Gives Title Part Sweeping Energy," "Dressed as it were, in an old beat portiere and nothing else to speak of, Hemsley Winfield." America's "Foreman-Veggie" actor, the name "Oscar from Harlem" and is giving Oscar Wilde's "Salome" more than is coming to her in her tiny playhouse known as the Cherry Lane. "It's almost confusing. To the uninitiated, I mean. From nine until thirty years ago, Winfield does not have for Salome a daying of Herodias, princess of Judea. What he can do is a stageful. Not since Bert Savoy was struck by lightning and Julian Eltinge retired to private life has a female impersonator impersonated with so much misguided energy. In the year when he was a full sign painted, he insisted upon calling Commerce Street, you just can't bear it. “I just can't bear it, anyway. Nowadays, what with one thing and another, the sing-song lines which Oscar Wilde lifted almost bodily from the King James version of the Song of Solomon” cry aloud for the French language, the Richard Strauss music and the lovely voice of Mary Garden. Without these things, they're overwritten, overwrought, and if I may so, overestimated. Certainly as projected in Cherry Lane, they are nothing to stand up and applaud. “In all fairness, however, I’d like to report that Enid Braithwaite takes her work seriously as the page to Herodias, that Marshall Rho-Des isn’t at all bad as the young Syrian, and that Albert W. Patrick, when he puts his mind on it, is quite good as Herod.” Mr. Winfield also gave a performance of this same "Salome" at the Alhambra Theater here last winter.

And may not the serilege of today be in excess of theirs, expressing itself in (1) a profession of religion for pecuniary gain, social and political preferment; (2) use of the pulpit and of the ministry for display and notoriety, even for the propagation of false doctrine; (3) union with the church, attendance on the communion so as to cover up secret sins; (4) the use of the Word of God to give point to a joke; (5) elixing that the Bible is God's Word, making it a book of errors, myths and legends; (6) sneering at the virgin birth, repulating Christ's deity and setting aside His vicarious statement. 6. Drunken carrots. The hand writing is on the wall. God will not endure this forever; His judgment shall fall. Conditions in the world in the state that the time is drawing near. Are you ready?

(For the Associated Negre Press) For some time past the Public Health Service has been conducting studies on the frequency of disabling illnesses among industrial employees. In connection with such studies the experiences from a group of 35 industrial sick-benefit associations and company relief departments have been carefully analyzed. The following results of these studies are of considerable interest: All the right statistics of sickness frequency based upon the claims for sickness benefits of members of industrial mutual associations do not for various reasons actually measure the incidence of disability which lasts more than one week, they do afford some knowledge of the sickness experience of a sample of the industrial population. Respiratory diseases were reported as the cause of 41.8 per cent of the claims for illness benefits; digestive diseases 13.7 per cent; and external causes (non-industrial accidents), 16 per cent. These three gross access to all of the services are virtually two-thirds of the cases for which sick-benefits were paid by associations reporting to the United States Public Health Service. In the respiratory group influenza and grippe were of outstanding importance, accounting for nearly one-half of all the respiratory cases recorded during the seven years ending December 31, 1927. In the digestive group diseases of the stomach (not including cancer), the stomach and berna were the most important groups in the digestive group, and the 1921-1927 disease, the digestive disease of the circulatory-urinary group showed the largest number of cases, followed by carcinoma (santo cell) and system diseases of the skin, diseases of the organs of locomotion, and the epidermis and endothelium of the digestive groups of important muscular Denver Now Ready For Woodmen Host Denver, Colo.—(ANP)—The general program and arrangements for the seventh quadreminal convention of the American Woodmen, which will be held in Denver, Colorado, August 10-17, inclusive, are now completed. The indications are that there will be from 1,500 to 2,000 in attendance. Four special trains—one from Atlanta, Georgia, one from Birmingham, Alabama, one from Fort Worth, Texas, and one from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—will carry the majority of the representatives to Denver. This meeting is to give attention to matters of legislation, policy, and procedure, and elect officers. The American Woodmen is one of the outstanding organizations of the race. Its interests cover twenty-seven states and the District of Columbia. Because of its financial rating, its large membership, and the scope of its activities, this will be one of the significant race meetings during the year.

If the milk must be very stiff and stand up for some time as is necessary when it is to be whipped, it should be prepared in the following manner: milk into the top part of a double boiler and heat over boiling water to the scaling point. There are two boilers and heat over boiling water to the milk thickens in consistency because some of the milk is evaporated on the top as well as in sediment in the bottom as the milk is heated.

WHY NOT MORE MERCHANTS? The interest manifested in civic organizations in the improvement of the race group through commercial progress has been accorded attention by the Small Business Unit of the Domestic Commere Division of the United States Department of Commerce. No less than 51 such bodies, primarily charged with community improvements, have exhibited an acute interest in the mercantile phase as contributory to betterments. These are scattered through 35 cities from Valdosta, Ga., on the South, to Boston in the Northeast and Portland, Ore. in the Northwest. Perhaps the outstanding attempt to create commercial mindedness that has been launched by such organizations, was the recent convention of the United Civic Societies of New Jersey at the Monteclair Y. M. C. A. when representatives of 19 community organizations subordinated all else usually programmed for such gathering to devote the main session to them in a racial development problem. James A. Jackson, a business specialist, was assigned by the Department of Commerce as the principal speaker of the occasion in response to the invitation of the program committee. The depth of the interest aroused, and the sustained character of this work, is due to the secretary of commerce requesting literature for distribution and stating: "We wish to assure you that our work Mr. Jackson is doing on behalf of our work Mr. Jackson is doing on behalf of Early in the spring, no less than seven civic organizations joined with the men of the men's Club of that city in the conduct of a week's program based on business betterments.

It is subject worth prompt consideration by Negro organizations and business people.

Publishing a quarterly scientific magazine, the Journal of Negro History, and history in such fields as history since January 1918, containing informing current articles and valuable documents bearing on Negro life and 2. Promoting research into Negro life and history in such fields as the folklore, the relations of Negroes and Indians, the relations of Negroes and Indians, the Negro in art, the religious life, the social and economic conditions of the Negroes in the United States. 3. Promoting the study of the Nei- cla club, churches, and schools and schools in the region through lectures and conferences improve race relations, acquaint- ing one race with the good in the other. 4. Promoting the home study of Nei- cla life and history by mail to pre- pare students for the study of those teachers who today appreciate the importance of such knowledge, but prepare them to learn about the thereto when they attended school. 5. Cooperating with schools preparing for the Neicla school adapition to the stimulation of serious thinking as to the worth and civiliza- tion of the race. 6. Both races may grow liberal-minded by knowing the whole truth rather than being biased as a result of propaganda. 7. Discovering and collecting man- ual materials bearing on the Nei- cla education. 8. The race, these now being deposi- d in the library of congress, which is DePriest's Entrance In Elk Battle Is Opposed New York.—(ANP)—Casper Holstein left the city last week to attend the meeting of the Virginia State Association of Elks at Buckroe Beach. While in Virginia, Mr. Holstein plans to attend meetings in Norfolk, Newport News, Richmond, and other cities of the Old Dominion. He further proposes to stop at other cities enroute back to New York. The proposed introduction of a United States congressman into a fight in the fraternal order of Elks is being opposed by a number of prominent Elks in this city. They seem to think it below the dignity of a congressman to interfere in such matters. The fact that Mr. Holstein's committee declared that Mr. DePriest was their choice to lead the fight on Wilson and to nominate Holstein in the convention, is meeting the hearty disapproval of those who think Mr. DePriest's time could be used to better advantage. FIRST IN INFLUENCE—PAGE SEVEN National Negro Business League Weekly Summary (Compiled by the National Negro Business League) AGRICULTURE The necessity for the Negro farmer to become organized is emphasized by fact as the Macon (Ga.) Telephone Company, "is not authorized to deal with individuals; it is authorized to deal only with individuals; it is authorized to imitate farm organizations of all sorts, but it cannot, of course, reach the individual farmer unless he is a "murderer." President Hoover would have done well to have appointed an outstanding colored man as one of the nine Federal Farmers under the New York News. "The Negro is the backbone of the South. He is the nation's great agricultural future." Meeting at Tuskegee Institute this week are 400 farm boys and girls and 100 farm girls and agents who are attending the annual short course in agriculture. These boys and girls and agents are given training in domestic and domestic crafts. The North Carolina Negro Farmer Conference held in Greensboro drew 300 farmers and rural workers. The service center at College at Greensboro drew 300 farmers in Georgia reports that 350 farmers are cooperating with agents in carrying on demonstrations in cotton growers in Georgia. The farmer who has made a success in the breeding and sale of swine. He extends his solid carload of hogs from his own farm. The Manufacturers Record for July states: "Farm wages for the country were about two per cent higher on July than a year ago. Wage in July is about 10 per cent more South Atlantic states where some decrease is shown. The supply of farm wages is down as demand as compared with 105.5 per cent a year ago." The demand in the Chicago Deer conditions reveals in Dallas County, Texas, as follows: "We are for $400 a day on the farm and we are down and if we get in debt we have to almost eat bread and drink water." BUSINESS The twelfth annual session of the Association of Colored Railway Trains, sponsored by the Chicago Railway, beginning Monday, July 15. Commenting on the East Tennessee News says, "Colored men who are employed as railroad workers in other capacities on railroads throughout our Southland are the ones who are most likely to attend an annual session this week. It is well that these men should organize and it is to the interests of all employee unions. The employer will get better service and with employee working under the supervision of the employer to render the very best service." Negro tacitic companies continue progress. The Rite Rate Taxalic Employees employ 140 and has 51 taxicases The City Cab Company of Detroit and women and operates 156 cab. The Chicago Whip published a 48-page edition on the occasion of its 150th anniversary. The Detroit Independent has issued a blue book of Detroit, Michigan. The book "Ninety-one different lines of business are listed under the various subjects, including three divisions names 31 garages, 24 service concerns, and 24 taxacid concerns. Thirty-two company are men and women and 46 hawers, 32 confectionaries, 10 hammers, and 15 hotels, with a full list indicates that Detroit Negroes are wide awake to their business position. The week's summary of activities among Negro insurance companies indicates a forward trend in the demand for insurance companies. The Acme Life Insurance Company has opened for business in Kansas City, Missouri. The Domestic Life Insurance Company of Louisville has opened a new location and Argus feels "quite sure that the other insurance companies" in St. Louis will welcome the Domestic Life Insurance Company of Louisville to the city. The location located here may thus be enabled to handle and control more of the risks lives of colored people of the city. The Atlanta Life Insurance Company has been conducting an annual insurance survey of its industrial department. Already there has been a weekly net increase The National Benefit Life Insurance company has declared its 30th anniversary in its annual report, says that it has aided in Negro real estate transaction by advancing more than $360. The Credential Bond and Mortgage Company of Cleveland, Ohio, held its annual meeting last week, Dr. J. A. Miller, W. John Roxborough, and Dr. Haley Bell of the company, and application was made to enter the state of Michigan. Wilson Levett is president, Heather Black a second mortgage organization doing business through Ohio, and qualified Major R. R. Wright, president of the National Gumbers Association, and president of Southern Bank of Philadelphia recently commented on follows on the bank: The colored bank learned that money under the control and management of members of the Philadelphia ten had accumulated into billions, it would be not necessary to agitate for bets and soon accumulate into billions, it would make jobs for himself." The Southern Bell Telephone Company of Atlanta, Georgia, has engaged the company in a colorado man, to act as a special representative with an office on Auburn To Show Grocery Store Picture At Business League Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—(ANP) Headquarters of the National Negro Business League announce that, in connection with the program of work of the organization, a new team will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, August 14, 15, and 16, arrangements have been made to show the very popular and instruction film entitled, *This four-reel picture was prepared by Dr. Carl Dipman*. Dr. Dipman is now cooperating with the Business Negro community and because of the relative merchandising associations among Negro grocers and because of the need for a grocery store it could be shown in conjunction with the Indianapolis meeting, and is his favorite grocery stores. This will be one of the unique and interesting features of the convention. city. Since this appointment a few months ago, more phones have been placed in Atlanta colored people than in any whole year before according to a report by the Bell Telephone Company officials are very much gratified with this ex The Kansas City City Call presents a call by 28 Negro firms in Kansas City. It is a cooperative advertisement built around the class of the Lincoln High School in Kansas City. The title of the ad is People a People, Chance. Only in Negro Business Can They Find Opportunity in the advertisement. We are professionals, and craftsmans who present their case to employers, unless they are satisfied to be common laborers. It was to us that we want to help us as to struggle toward the goal of our own hopes that we have engaged in business. What want you to help us aim. Considerable comment goes the rounds of the press this week about the organizations. The Washington (D. C.) Tribune says: "Hundreds of thousands of teachers, teachers and teachers being thrown to the winds in sending delegates to these various nonessential, national and annual meetings, the Teachers Union says: "The annual meeting business has become a 'messance to the economy.' The California Voice says: "When we consider our population and economic conditions, is it the part of our organizations to be a further drain on our resources? Now that we are organizing now that are overlapping one another, instead of coordinating." The Light House, published in Piedmont months are always filled to capacity with annual meetings of lodges, societal organizations. But have we ever stopped to think of the benefit our race or ourselves derive from the organizations? $187,650 to entertain a convention for one week. Wouldn't it be a blessing if we could invest that amount in a system of chain stores, or a first-class standard clothing business among Negroes?" The Savannah (Ga.) Tribune localizes a commenting upon the annual gatherings of fraternal orders inorgans of congregations are doing much for the betterment of our people in the state, the thousands distributed, and many wroth while causes are helped. Lessons in organization and management are being taught. INDUSTRY That the employment situation in industry and agriculture is improving, the industrial relations department of the National Urban League and the National Labor Department materially reduction in the volume of unemployment among unskilled laborers last month. The department's staff practically every state of the union, the department bulletin states, "this year we will be steadily employed for the next several months." And the Urban League bulletin describes throughout the country as to unskilled and semi-skilled workers admitted due to the seasonal boom in construction and other 'outside' work. Thus, Negroes are favored in hot Springs, Arkansas, Charlotte, N. C. and other suburban areas. Monies, in road and track labor at Hot Springs, Arkansas, Charlotte, N. C. and other suburban areas, more than flooded and cannot absorb the ever increasing supply. The receipt revealed the astonishing fact that only two of 85 men applying for work had ever received any training for a parcel job. Lamenting the replacement of Reggive workers by white men, the Porter Recorder of that city observes that "the masses of our group utterly fail in their duties, and our leaders, if there be any, are wholly distinished to call effective attention to our effective remedy for the same. The only suggestion that names thus to be given to our words to that effect." W. J. Wheaton of the California Institute of Law and the recognition of the Brotherhood of Pullman Porters by the American Federation of Labor for the damage made to the labor labors when it no longer progress when it refuses to recognize one third of the tollers. It must be said that a news article from a recent conference of the New Japanese branches of the Urban Litter Bureau "because of unemployment, B. Lewis, our labor leader, has become gambler, and has saved his numberless life." EDITORIALS THE HOUSTON INFORMER AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER "It Gets You Told—Nothing Else!"

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE DEAL AFTERWARDS. NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS—ROOSEVELT. HOUSTON, TEXAS. SATURDAY. AUGUST 3, 1929 SOME GOING MUST BE DONE. BOARD! The recent act of the superintendent of the Houston Negro Hospital, who sent to North Carolina for a nurse and then refused the young woman the position when she arrived on the scene, and the resultant furore created here, are rather conclusive indicators that the hospital has not been successful in nurturing its characteristics so essential for a successful superintendent of a hospital or head of any public institution. Since her official connection with the local hospital, the present superintendent has made it a practice to send to distant sections of the country for her nurses, and when they get here and work for a few days or weeks, these nurses are either discharged or forced to sever their connections with the hospital. The room the young nurse is in, the hospital $196 (the young nurse firstly to accept the check after colored citizens had raised substantially all of the money necessary to reimburse her for the expenses incident to making the long trip to Houston from Southport, N. C. and back home), it clearly shows the shortsightedness and inconsistency of the present hospital administration. The Houston Negro Hospital ews money obtained from one of the hospitals, which is chiefly of its operation, and even though the institution is unable to meet this bank note, here we have the sickening spectacle of $196 being voted out of the hospital treasury merely to make amends for the arbitrary and automatic action of its superintendent and certain advisory autocrats. Suppose the imported nurse had come from Capetown, South Africa, or Australia, and instead of the citizens raising the money the hospital had been required to pay said foreign nurse, one can readily see that it would have represented quite an outflow of money. Who knows but that the present superintendent will not cable to Europe, Asia, Africa or Australia for a nurse, and then pull off the same stunt when said nurse arrives as she did when Miss Newby put in her appearance in response to both telegraphic and written communications from the local hospital superintendent? Several local organizations have been involved in the hospital and paid the services of a new superintendent for the hospital, and in their contents along this line The Informer is in hearty accord and perfect cononance. Not only in the Newby incident has the present superintendent demonstrated her inability and unfitness to manage the local elemeosnyar institution, but numerous cases are on record where situations would not have been handled had the superintendent exercised judgment. The Houston NEGro Hospital is too big a proposition to have its usefulness impaired and its progress retarded on account of any one person or small clique or coterie. If the present hospital board (colored) does not demand the immediate resignation of the present hospital superintendent, then colored will begin to regard them as either being too cowardly to act in the interest of the patient, or the patient turns against an individual, a board, an organization or institution, it is exceedingly difficult for either to regain the public confidence and respect. Since the present hospital board is composed of some mighty fine people, The Informer would be pained should such a hostile attitude be assumed on the part of the colored citizens of Houston toward the colored board, or failure or refusal to regain the public superintendent. It has come to The Informer that certain members of the colored board are now "begging" for time, advancing the argument that a suitable superintendent can not be found in a short time, and that the board needs ample time in which to obtain the services of such a person. True, then it begins to appear that certain members of the colored hospital board are endeavoring to dodge the issue, and are attempting to pass the buck; apparently trying to "run with both the hound and hare." These members of the board undoubtedly are wise and intelligent enough to know that in any such controversy there can be no middle ground in the motorcycle, they must be all on one off, no straddling the fence. As a matter of fact, when vital issues confront us as a people, too often do we essay to remain neutral; try to blow hot and cold at the same time. Such a feat, except as a circus freak, is hardly possible of accomplishment these days! No hospital can make much progress and assist in restoring people to health, unless nurses are employed who are trained and who know the care of patients committed to their care, and attention. The superintendent having driven so many trained nurses from the Houston Negro Hospital, the institution is finding it rather The Houston Informer difficult and embarrassing to obtain, and the services of capable nurses, and reports are affont here that several cases of infection (alleged to be the first of its kind since the hospital was opened) have been recorded at this local institution within the past two weeks, due chiefly to the lack of efficient and competent nurses in the operating room. Colored residents are open stating that they will not go to the local hospital for any type of service under the present management. The staff of the hospital are rather bitter and vehement against the present regime, and assert that they do not intend to return to said hospital as long as the present superintendent is there. In other words, the city is in open revolt against the hospital under the present superintendent and her arbitrary and autocratic advisors who seem to be qualifying quite rapidly as Negrophobes, tyrannies and absolute monarchs. The staff of the hospital is the temper of the colored citizens regarding the present superintendent, and whether it is politic to dispense with her services during a fight or not, the fact remains that as long as she is connected with the hospital there will be a fight waged on her and, incidentally, the institution; and if the board is waiting for the storm to abate, it is our guess that both members will wait and watch a long time; and the PRESIDENT SUPERINTENDENT MUST GO. OR THE HOSPITAL WILL GO! LOUISNIANA PYTHIANS DESERT GREEN According to the latest news emanating from the Pelican State, S. W. Green, grand chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of Louisiana jurisdiction and supreme chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, has been deserted and repudiated by many of his former staunch fraternal followers and adherents. It appears that a rift occurred between the titular head of the Pythians and other ambitious members of his Louisiana order, who tiring of Green's leadership and empty promises, pulled out of the regular Pythian order and organized the "Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias of the Universe." Headed by C. L. Nickelberry of Monroe, La., as supreme chancellor and Dr. John T. Miller of Monroe, La., as supreme keeper of records and seals, the Pythian protest organization in Louisiana was disbanded. It is reported that Brer Green resorted to legal procedure to enjoin and stop these recalcitrant brothers from functioning as Pythians in the Pelican State, right in bold defiance of his "grand and noble order;" but it is stated that the supreme chancellor was defeated in his attempt to put the "insurgents" out of business and to prevent them from being registered and classified as Pythians. It is claimed further that whole lodges and courts are deserting the Green faction and joining the "Insurgents" indicating, to a large extent, that the supreme chancellor is being hooded and grip him own his people, right in his own bailwick. Whether the "insurgent" organization is a protest movement, or the result of fraternally ambitious persons, many of the leading colored men and women of Louisiana are said to be identifying themselves with the new Pythian order, resulting in the Green national jurisdiction. These same smouldering embers of discontent, mistrust, duplicity, autocracy, imperialism and high-handedness, said to be contributing factors in the promotion and establishment of the "insurgent" Pythian order in Louisiana, seem likely to flare up in other parts of the Green national jurisdiction, unless the forthcoming supreme lodge at Indianapolis, August 29, 2014, 1929, resolutely and determinedly faces the task of rectifying and remedying the situation. The Infermer has no fight to wage on Mr. Green, per se; but this paper, observing the trend of affairs within the national (or international) Pythian family, readily discerned in 1927 that the days of the present supreme chancellor's usefulness had about reached their termination, and that if the order is to be revived, salvaged and rescued from bankruptcy, disintegration and dissolution, it would be to the highest elective position within the gift of the fraternity. Not only does it reflect upon a grand chancellor of a state jurisdiction to permit a rift and split to occur within his forces, with the "insurgents" carrying off the honors, bacon, et cetera; but it is a very sad reflection upon a supreme chancellor who, with his power, prestige and pull, can not forestall an internal disruption of the division happens is unable to measure arms with the omission. If Louisiana can be considered a barometer in this fraternal organization, then Brer Green of New Orleans is going to experience much difficulty in retaining his post as titular head of the organization. He has been successful in its official family at Indianapolis during the present month. LEARNING VALUE OF ADVERTISING Realizing the value of newspaper advertising and meeting competition, the Colored Merchants Association of Montgomery, Alabama, recently employed a double page advertisement in the Montgomery Advertiser, one of the leading white daily newspapers of the South, in which all the membership stores and other businesses placed their business before the people of that city and section. This publicity represents the largest amount of space ever employed in a Southern daily newspaper by a group of Negroes engaged in business and commerce, and bespeaks a new day for the business foresight, wisdom and forward thinking on the part of the business and economic leaders of color in Montgomery. This double-page advertisement was used in connection with the first anniversary celebration of the C M. A. Stores of Montgomery, which is held from the date of the business section, there also appeared cuts of the colored leaders of the association. The ad carried the following foreword: "The C M. A. Stores started with the definite policy to sell quality products at a price as low as is consistent with fair merchandising—that our policy is appreciated is evidenced by the tremendous increase in volume of business and by an ever-increasing number of patrons. And we wish to pause to express our appreciation for the tremendous amount of patronage received in response to our definite policy." These associated stores in Montgomery, realizing that they could not survive in the field of fierce and keen commercial competition operating along individualistic lines, perfected an organization for the express purpose of buying their merchandise collectively in large quantities and giving their patrons the benefits of such wholesale purchases in their retail sales; and reports from the capital of Alabama state that the C. M. A. Stores not only are doing a fine business among members of their own race, but that members of other races are liberal patrons of these associated stores. Hers, again, is brought home to the race the value of cooperation, unified and judicious advertising, and colored merchants, among other cities of the country will do well to emulate the fine example of modern business exemplified in a practical way by these Montgomery colored merchants.

There are, toprobably more Negro students of collegiate grade, registered in err institutions, than could be in colored colleges twenty years. The standards are advancing. With Robert Vann and Carl Murphy, their collegiate contarnert. The current issue of the Crisis contains its usual annual analysis of the higher educational activities of the race. Negroes are rushing into college and university in unwonted numbers, yielding a list of graduate degrees. The crisis has even a decade ago. The contingent of Negro students in northern colleges is rapidly increasing. There are, today, probably more Negro students of full collegiate grade, registered in Northern institutions, than could be found in colored colleges twenty years ago. Negro students keep pace with the educational progress of the times. Colored schools, which two decades ago, were ambitious to call themselves colleges, have only faculties and facilities for adequate high school work. But every where, equipment, faculty and facilities are inadequate to standard collegiate requirements. Philanthropy, which at one time seemed to show indifference, if not unfriendless, towards the higher education of the colored race, is now liberally sustaining the leading Negro institutions and supplying adequate grade, standard of work assumed. Among the women, Madam Walker, Mary Bethune, Nancie Burroughs, and Alice Dunbar are unsurpassed in their ability to do things among the women. They have been forced orifice the plow handle and rope to the highest business achievement yet attained by the race. When it comes to organizing the masses into coherent and efficient working units, the college man has not so far shown the ability to lead the team and let the reader make out his own list of the leaders of the Eks, Masons, Odd Fellows, Pythians and faternal and secret orders, and derive his own conclusion from the data. He is conspicuously in the organization and leadership of the great Baptist denomination which involves two thirds of the entire Christian membership among Negroes. Morris, Boyd and Williams constitute the big three. No one else can argue for effective Christian endeavor. The old silly division as to higher and industrial education has happily passed away. Hampton and Tuckkee are now ambitious to assume rank along with their industrial applications. These two schools are already adequately endowed to insure importance. Howard, Fick, Atlanta, and the rest are entering into a new era of prosperity with assurance of adequate training in the work of instruction on the higher level. The states are not lagging behind in their generous support of the higher education of the Negro. North Carolina, West Virginia, and other states are lagging behind the Negro department of higher education under state auspices. Two thousand Negroes with liberal degrees are annually sent into the vineyard, and the number is constantly increasing. It is the cause of rejoicing at so encouraging an indication of progress. But one more comparison, and I must desist from this comparison, not for want of material, but for lack of space. If we confine ourselves to the Negro intelligentsia as expressed in the New York Times, we do not always come out first best. Of the creative writers listed in Dr. Locke's "New York" quoia a majority hold no collegiate degrees. Of the twelve colored members of the trustees board of Howard University, only one is a college graduate, and the other is a graduate or college. I am not unimindful of the formidable array of collegiate celebrities which might be listed to match the illustrations herein set forth. My main purpose is to stimulate the collegiate output to bask themselves in the glory of their accomplishments before them. College education cannot give ability, energy, energy, enterprise or initiative. These are inborn. But the advantages of college culture afford the best environment for such qualities to grow and develop. Comparison are odious or odorate as they wound or trick the vanity. But our rejoicing must be tempered with a word of caution. Wisdom in justified of her children. The scholar must be vindicated by his work. These college men and women have the highest opportunities of the race. The professional ranks are rapidly being supplied. The more attractive places in teaching, medicine and law are fairly well filled. Less inviting and attractive places still await replacement by college men and women. The spirit of sacrifice. The Christian ministry alone can absorb half the out for decades to come. But, unfortunately, where the harvest is whitest, the volunteer laborers are fewest. We must still pray the Lord of the heart to send laborers to the service and labor are most needed. College-bred Negroes must no longer satisfy their supercilious vanity by reveling in their academic conceit. They must rather crowd in on the arena and take hold of the mass life of the race. They must take leadership in the development of the vast economic, industrial, religious, social and cultural life. In this war will wisdom be justified of her children. In the light of retrospect, we are now prepared to make a more temperate and some appraisal of the effect of higher education upon the mass life of the race than could have been done thirty years ago. Then we have learned that the novelty and sound judgement by the novelty and enthusiasm of the experiment. Now we can calmly weigh balance and compare relative values without undue extravagance of prophecy which any new process always evokes. We naturally look to the leadership and wise guidance of the leaders in all canard, it cannot be claimed that this expectation has been fulfilled in the degree that was once hoped and claimed. The leadership of the race, in many important personalties with energy, enterprise and initiative often without a technical liberal opinion, has been supported by Booker T. Washington in the influence which he attributed to the edu- Homely Philosophy TRIFLES Napoleon was a master of trifles.
