Houston Informer

NEGRO MEMBER SCHOOL BOARD 5 PRICE CENTS VOL. XI THE MIRROR In order to keep the record straight, Rev. Lovell quotes verbatim from the book, "The Negro is more at home on the farm than in any other kind of environment," and the Negroes of the town, not factless but chance the dull, an attractive surroundings of the usual tenant farmhouse. Complying with Rev. Lovell's request, we have mentioned in his speeches that the Negroes misquoted him, according to the former Houston pastor; and we are glad because we know the well-established practice of white newspaper report-ing, quoting and misreporting Negroes. HOUSTONIANS IN FRANCE A card from Miss Thyra Edwardes of Gary, Ind, former Houstonian, and Mrs. Paul Herbert, states that they are "nearing the end of a wonderful journey."

Teal last Friday afternoon, shows the large number of women who attended the final class of the cooking school, sponsored jointly by The Houston Informer, Houston Gas and Fuel Company and the A.B. Gas Range Company of Battle Creek, Michigan, in the PHILIPSTON auditorium last week. Despite the inclement weather, which prevailed all day Friday, nearly 200 women—homewives and leaders in social, fraternal, religious, educational and civic circles—were present and received much valuable information from the conductors and instructors of the cooking school, Mrs. A. D. Rodgers (white), nationally sponsored as dietitian and culinary authority. Nothing of its blind in the memory of the oldest native has ever triumphed here before, and the interest and contributions which large daily chores of women manifested in The Informer's Fall Food Festival and Cooking School, shared convincingly that women appreciate the type of instruction which was made possible for them in this fine culinary school and demonstration. MUSIC FEATURE OF PROGRAMME FOR TEACHERS The main or public programs will be held at the City Auditorium, with the formal opening booked for Thanksgiving morning, at which time Judge K. C. Barkley, president of the Houston Board of Education, and Prof. Joseph J. Rhoads of Marshall, president of the association and first Negro president of Bishop College, will be the principal speakers. Music for this occasion will be furnished by the choral club. Departmental and sectional meetings, according to President Rhoads, will be given greater prominence than at any previous session, thus enabling each teacher present to study, in a small group, those problems which have a direct bearing upon his or her particular assignment. An educational exhibit is planned and will be under the direction of E. O. Smith, Wheatley principal. Prof. W. L. D. Johnson, principal of Blackshear Elementary School and chairman of the housing committee, state that fully 2500 teachers and visitors are expected at the Houston session of the association and that many local events are being planned.

PREACHERS HEAR FAIR PLAY PLEA FOR NEGRO RACE Hurtsville, Texas.-Prof. R. M. Woods, field secretary of the Texas Association, was one of the speakers at the meeting in this city of the Tynn- Everglen Association, which held a meeting of the Texas Association all of which have more than fifty percent of Negro population. Prof. Woods made a strong plea for the establishment of a port of the association in the movement to that end. He was given a courtroom sentence and must present promised to preach at least one son on this subject at each of his appointments to the association's purpose to keep in touch with the preachers by correspondence and to supply them with suitable literature. Nothing of its kind in the memory of the oldest native has ever transpired. The institution which large daily classes of women manifested in The Information School, showed conclusively that the women appreciate the type of instruction which was made possible for the college's primary school and demonstration. COLORED GIRLS LOSE JOBS WITH FOX'S THEATRES COLORED GIRLS LOSE JOBS WITH FOX'S THEATRES New York City—(ANP)—Civilized with the celebration of the William Fox Jubilee, twenty colored girls from the Bronx, formerly girls, formerly understudy in the Crown Theatre and the Savoy Theater, the first named in the thickly atticed Jewish section of the Bronx, the latter replaced with white girls been replaced with white boys at an increased salary and shorter working hours. The only remaining Fur home held colored girls in the Javon Garden on Broadway at 99th Street. "The Daughter of the Gods," featuring Annette Kellerman, marked the presentation of motion picture spectacles some fifteen years ago. This show was given in a Broadway theater and for the first time in the history of the theater, colored girls were employed as usherettes. The practice grew until colored girls filled all of the important Fox houses, and when the peak was reached in the presentation of "The Price Glory" at the Sam Hattie Theater in 421 Street, colored girls were recruited from all over the city to open this house. They were then transferred to the Times Square Theater, just across the street when the lease on the Sam Harris Theater expired. Then came the first break. Relinquishing the Times Square Theater, Fox moved up on Broadway taking the Galey, the Globe. Each of these theaters had white girls. Then followed the dismissal of girls at the Audubon Theater on Washington Heights and now comes the removal of the girls from the other houses. No reason is given for the dismissal of the girls. In many instances, the their places are being filled by young Jewish boys who are studying in local colleges. In many instances, the dismissed girls have been with the Fox Company for periods extending from five to eight years. NEGRO ATTORNEYS MEET IN HOUSTON ON THANKSGIVING At the call of Judge R. D.

Martin Receives Flattering Vote—Native of North Carolina—Taught School In Alabama and Cleveland—Attorney M e G hee Managed Her Successful Campaign Cleveland, Ohio—The greatest upset in any municipal election in a metropolitan city in this country, took place here last Tuesday, when Mary B. Martin, lone candidate, was elected to the Board of Education of the city of Cleveland by more than 85,000 votes. Her campaign was managed and directed by Attorney Norman L. McGhee, sometime editor of the Cleveland Call and Post, and one of the prominent younger attorneys practicing at the Cleveland bar. The surprise was all the more great for the reason that the present members of the board, four in number, had been endorsed by the three metropolitan dailies, the Cleveland Plain Deser, Cleveland Press, and Cleveland News and by a civic organization presented a slate of candidates for the Board of Education which is seldom broken. Her surprise victory started political observers, who had assumed the four present members up for reelection would be returned without serious opposition. Late in the counting, Mrs. Martin passed Ree H. Attenborough, a professor of assurance of law at the Cilento University, and with 12 precepts yet to be heard from was ahead of Davis by 3,347 votes. It was conceded as impossible for the 12 precepts to erase this margin. In touch with assurance of law Wednesday, Mrs. Martin said she hopes to be useful on the board because "in touch with people" the fourth of whom are children, four of whom are in college and the fourth in high school. "I want to serve all the citizens," she said. "It was unfairly charged during the campaign that the colored women in College and Birthingham, Ala.

She attended Rockwell school, recently demolished to make way for the new board of education building, and Central High School. When she graduated from Central in 1900, she was class vocalist and 25 years later her daughter, Lydia, graduated from the same school with the same honor.

FEDERAL COURT DROPS CHARGES IN HOWARD CASE Jackson, Mim.—(ANP) The first chapter of the famous "Mississippi natronage case" was written here Tuesday when the lattents selling federal jobs against Attorney P. W. Howard, Republican national candidate, were dropped by Federal Judge Edwin R. Holmes. The action was taken on the recommendation of the United States Department of Justice, which was received by United States Attorney B. F. Cameron of Meridian, Monday. The defendants were Charles Issues, S. D. Redmond, A. M. Redmond, E. L. Palten, George F. McClellan, William A. Miller, J. C. Tannehill, James G. Buchanan, and James Hayward. The case had its beginning more than a year ago when sentential charges were made against Howard and his associates, which caused his suspension from the United States Department of Justice in which he was serving as special assistant to the attorney general. The first trial was held December 1928, and the defendants were acquitted. Trial on the second group of charges were held in the spring of this year at Meridian and again Attorney Hill and his associates were acquitted. The closing of the case, according to friends of the national committeeman, has entirely vindicated him and they are congratulating him on every hand. It is believed that the real purpose of the indictments was to force him to resign from the national Republican committee, but Attorney Howard some months ago set aside this rumor with the statement to the Associated News gro Press that he had no intention whatever of resigning from the post to which he had been duly elected.

The Wentworths are unable to pay Mamba, but Mamba is so devoted to the family that she is satisfied with her board and the opportunity of acting as mad to Polly. a young lady of inherited social prominence. Polly was very apt in school, but Saint was a disappointment to everyone in the Wentworth family, except Mamba, whose keen insight and experience led her to believe that did not respond credibly to the school system. Mamba alone underwent HAGAR—Mamba's giant, muscular, low-witted daughter, had an inordinate liking for strong drink, much to Mamba's distress. Two voice and a large body. Mamba had said Hagar "born for storms" and "had a strong sense of humor" to the word "bureau".

Mamba takes Lisa, who is now about ten years of age, to the Westworth house to learn the "welling" going there. While Lisa is in the house, she learns about the life of a girl. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY INSTALLMENT VII The next afternoon Saint face came from Gibbs Art Gallery. Meeting one there was a little surprising, as there were several long in process meetings, and it was difficult to hold them in competition with society in Charleston. He stood plainly evident. "You hear," he exclaimed. "Of course," she smiled at him. "This is where I belong. But you I did not night, that they went in very much for art." "They don't, and I suppose that is why I did not night," he added. After all friends have more or less like the same things, don't they. "They do nowadays, I am afraid Life is so short, and being loved can They had drifted to a window and stood across the street into an old house. They were brushed by the late sun. That's the sort of thing I like," he said. "And champagne" she supplemented. "That is unkind of you. Last night was an event, a sort of initiation, and it was difficult to think of it, you were unkind last night, too. You laughed "God forbid," she replied painfully. "A nobody from New York lambats at a suspicion caused Saint Tend and glance undress her lower lasses on a quiet ecboning room. "Oh," she gasped, "you were scared to get into this room like that any more. I suppose it takes lots of gratitude to get away and we must see what your local artists can do. I am out discovering Christie today. What luck! I ought to. I have starved for them enough. There those etchings. Oh, she is a Charleston woman. "Oh, she is a Charleston woman. "Oh, she may morally alone for several years. I am not in an award lately. I love her work, but I don't know enough about etchings. Valerie really removed the thumbs tack and carried the picture to the texture?" "Good strong work. You know how they're made, don't you?" She held her life book and she gave him a life account for a while. "Id show you. And that group over there." That is inter She hurried Saint across the gallery to a small collection of misty low-country landscapes. At a distance they gave the impression of pastel, but on close scrutiny they appeared to be treated by some process of colour wash. “Say, here's something new,” Valerie exclaimed. “Strong Japanese influence, and yet how individual, and how they have captured the mood of your country. It is local work, of course.” “Yes, and I know her quite well,” Saint boasted. “You must meet her. And I don't think the Japanese in fluence is conscious. She is much too unspoiled for influences. Like most of us here, she has had to work out her own salvation. I've seen her doing the marshes near the mines sitting day after day like a tiny wren, painting away at a certain mood until she got it.” “We'll be hearing of her some day,” Valerie affirmed with conviction. “She's got something of her own.” Saint insisted on her seeing the permanent exhibit in the main gallery. "So, we portraits, for the most PAGE TWO part, and the girl moved quickly along the big room. "The are interest," she said after her interview, "because they help to explain you. I suppose most of them were colonies, and I am sure they all carried their liquor like For an hour they loitered through the pleasant rooms, and Saint got his first glimpse behind the surface of paper and canvas into processes of the method. She had to go through the street while she talked. Down the street. He had to hear the quarter hours. He did not hear them strike. She had the thing that he had always wanted. She lived it, breathed it as naturally as he was. The morning with firm resolve to let the old dreams go, to find some solid terrain where he could plant his feet and renew his struggle, to give his mother and Polly their chance. But he had to unselfish to take it together with unselfish. Theft had been something about his own experiences of the night before that had shifted values. Somehow the affair had assumed a greater significance than he could possibly have imagined. He had to be more aware of the head of the family. There was a new and pleasurable sense of self-importance in the thought. His mother had accomplished, by being quietly and serenely exactly what she was, what no amount of argument and knowledge to have had to be held on her mother that sharp invocation of his father. Then there had been the approval of the older people at the ball. An approval that tacitly assumed that he was being what was expected. He had to be more aware of the�ள and that he has after all a fulfillment. But now the cross current of Valerie's talk threw his mind into confusion. A longing that had nothing to do with reasoned to him with a pain that he had almost physical. In a month he had blurted out: "I have always meant to go in for this one day. I am going to saint!" she seriously, her own very grave. "I didn't know you felt that keen about taking more about yourself, please. I really want to know. I have to escort her, and they took their way through the桥 with a crimson courier. where a winter sunset bursts across the Ashley and flooded the river with crimson courier. But now Valley is filled with something of beaver to the more practical question: What do you want? She asked bluntly: "Saint flushed. Her forrightness valued, and he gave the dwarf answer: I am employed across the river in Riverbank." She wondered, "suggests something to do with soda water to unmistakibly deny that there is any danger with soda fountains!" she accepted with the throatdeep deception to smile. "I have the management of the Phosphate Mining Company's committee." She gave him her white gaze. "That sounds important. I am duly informed." Under her look his own eyes began to wander. Suddenly he blurted out a tantrum. In plain English, I serve a range of phlegms over pheromones all the week, and I am always in town, sit in the family pew, and play the gentleman. So you are there, I am the gentleman. You tell me, "I am so very glad you told me that," she confused. "Now you have told me, "Now you have told me, "What about yourself?" he qualified. "I am a well-affected story to tell," she even missed the fact that he is one of those artists who mourn their losses. He even missed the fact that he loved painting he could be a painter, and that he loved painting he could be a painter to do with it, and he might do it or keep ever at anything else.

After his week in the rarefield air of the social world, Saint's descent to the earth of the mining camp had been a gradual one, during which he was still enveloped in trailing clouds of glory. The events of the brief so-journ had remained so vividly in his mind that they seemed for those first few days more actual than the humdrum routine in which he moved by habit rather than thought. He measured cloth and weighed out provisions, but there was a shimmer over his tasks, as though an iridescent gauze floated between his hands and the thing that they touched. It was not until the fifth day that he could actually be said to have arrived. He was dining as usual at the mess maintained by the white employees in a cot, tage near the washing shed. He was always silent at his meals, and the other men usually took him as a mat. tour of course and discussed their pakes and hunting across and as though he would have been there. But today one of their number returned from town, where he like, Sian, had been a social season. He ragged the boy rather immensely, and the others were more passive. He stepped again, through the commissary door the shimmering illusion was gone—saint pork, cabbage, and herring. He and her herrings and herrings. The swallowtail was definitely back in champer, and his pakes were two dollar bills and fifty cents a week. He seldom had customers in the mining fields, and as the hours dragged by he came into a瓦化境 of the mine, where he worked. (Continued on Pace Six.)

Dearborn St. Chicago Foreign Advertising Representatives How Fan Madstone A Strange Stone, Given to Virginia by Early Colored People, is Much Venerated in Time of Trouble. By DON CHARLES S THERE some myterious connection between the dog Star, S star, or the mastodon, given to a Virginia family by a venerated colored man? Science is unable to give a satisfactory answer to that the stars in the affairs of human beings, and it is equally unable to tell just what that the odd-looking stone, now in the hands of a ginian gentleman, W. E. Tyler, ofoudon County, situated every person in every village from a horrilef from poisoning. The little villages of Aldie, located in the Mountains, but forty miles from W. E. Tyler, place where the most famous mastodon is kept. There people come from many places where the ugly gash made from the tearing fangs of wild cats, stinging and other accidents are never fearful. Origin In Africa The origin of this strange object occurred in the Tyler family, now according to the healing stone, it was the gift of the mother, used for them in the East Indies, others say that it was brought dishonest of its qualities, as there is no doubt of the fact that some generous colored items, many years ago, are precious, precious, precious, country as a gift of friendship. For many years the Tyler family held the gift, and preserved the gift. An early Tyler, who the stone when on one of his trips way of the Indies and Africa. A later Tyler, who oft-repeated story which has been brought down from the early days resting on a trio of native colored men came to the ship. Large handsome men were. They asked to the captain. The trader received them. After taking provisions and ornaments and other matters, the friends announced that they would show him one strange stone. "The three squatted low on the bench and proceeded to demonstrate the power of the stones to save life. The three squatted low on the bench and placed a kitten from his basket and placed it on the bench. The kitten was carried in another basket. Hady had a minute elapsed when the kitten was struck by the stones and struck his fangs deep into the body of the kitten. In ten minutes time Saves Kitten's Life Then another kitten was taken from the basket and a snake was allowed to strike it. This time, however the visitor reached into his pocket and took out a strange appearing stone and applied it to the wound made by the serpent's fangs. In a few seconds the kitten revived, jumped up and ran away. The captain was invited to test the wonders of the stone by the same method, but he was afraid. Then one of the tall, handsome fellows, bared his arm to a poisonous snake and received a specially large and strong dose of the venom. Immediately an ugly swelling set in, but no time was lost in administering the stone to the wound and it worked so effectively that a cure was made. It seems that the American sea captain could not then believe his own eyes and refused to believe what he had just observed. He tried to buy one of the strange stones. His offer was refused, but he was given a stone as a token of friendship and for the benefit of "his people," when he should reach home. Thus the madstone came to America. Stone Never Fails The stone, it was explained to him, came from the heart of a white deer. Other colored people told that it was in The Stormy THE HOUSTON INFORMER Illustrated Feature Section The size of the madstone is here shown. It has proved of great value to many colored and white people when bitted by maltas, mad dogs and other specially made by a secret tribal method. Whatever the origin, the stone was preserved on the long homeward journey. In America the stone was kept in a safe place. The neighbors and friends came to help. Then when a large copperhead snake its fangs into the hand of a neighbor the stone was called for. The snake was recovered. After this, others came to be traumatized. There is no record of how the snake dog bite it. "One lady came all the way from New Orleans," said Mr. Tyrick, "taking to have her hand in the stone dog bite it. It took several days to complete the journey and the child's leg was in terrible condition. The snake dog in the stone, the swolling went down, the wound assumed a pinkish, healthy and in the few days the child was removed from the village doctor, but the swelling continued. There is, too, the account of an old colored man, called Jerry, who was employed by the village doctor, but the swelling continued. Then the stone was applied and the wound quickly healed. The snake dog in the clawed days I often applied the stone, and it seemed quite natural for me to continue to use it, to relieve suffering. Takes Poison From Body A madstone seems to have the strange ability to take poison from a man, and it may way it accomplishes this, no one seems to know. Possibly the three colored wives of men an early day understood the madstone, and fourth inches in length, of a light and dark brown color, resembling an almond in shape. After the staining of a poisonous creature, the stone is first placed in a glass of water, while the madstone is blown up, blake of a bifle, then the madstone is applied directly to the wound. If there is poison there, the stone is taken out and must be boiled in milk to that it can absorb. The stone falls off and must be boiled in milk to that the milk turns a graffly-green color. Afterwards it can be again applied in its frequent as desired, or until it is no longer as graffly-green color. Saved From Rabies The Tyler family has never known of an instance where it failed to re-enable the Aldie madstone was once used by a Washington woman who had been a resident of the Ridge Mountains for 15 years. Fearing abuse, the woman made the trip into the Blue Ridge Mountains for the sake of the woman, who was the charmed worker, and today the woman is well. Scientists of the Department of Agriculture who crammed the woman into the room HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1929 The masthead, however, drew out the potions and saved the woman's life. The magical powers or not, no one knew. The origin of these stones claim that it is their ability to absorb substances. Science ignores them so reliable. Science ignores the potions. Have Scientific Basis At the Army Medical Museum in washing, in a report of the British of Science, there is an article by Dr. K. W. who says, "Madden's blood in water are found to absorb to an extent of if per cent of their weight. April applied blood to a maximum of 2.2 and blood to a maximum of 2.2. And further, and highly important, it is stated that, "Madden's boiled blood is the toxic in case of vicious wounds." Quack Madstones Those who laugh and scoff at the stone that was the gift of early colored folk are thus confronted by the scientific statement. Of course, there are quick madstones, just as there are quick medicines and quick doctors in the world. But rest, predtones, like the one at Addie, do their work thoroughly and conscientiously. It appears to be a fact that many of the so-called mysterious harms hark back to common sense, and common medicine. There was a colored woman known to many of the writers, who dosed the children of the family with bluing water whenever the raspberry, frightening sound of a cromsy cough was heard—and the children never had croup. This fact was mentioned to an eminent doctor, who replied: “It is not so louchable, indieo is a component part of croup medicine.” “Belief in madstones was common hundreds of years ago in many parts of the East. Travellers tell of color and people who had these stones sometimes called ‘rabersheer.’” or opal. Some have said that the stone is made of juice which becomes evaporated, leaving a muellaginous rather than solid substance. The great Oriental traveler, Jean Baptiste Traverner, tells of finding poisonous water and who owed it to extract poisonous water. The stone is to place it in the mouth, if it would it will be to the palate and boiling water effect was probably the cause. Did St. Paul Use It? Prof. Kuzma says: "Madame-tresses are strongly to the tongue, and when dropped in water entert rapid stream of saliva. The saliva then absorbs the absorption properties in greater BEAUTY HINTS By GERALDNE FOX The Distinguished Authority on Beauty Culture (Edith's note: Geraldine Fox has answered hundreds of letters on health and beauty.

Or, at least, it kills. A cold is not necessary. It is something that does not come with the warmth of the inner conditions. Then the weather man comes along with a sharp change in the temperature of the body elements to adjust itself to the outside conditions. This unwielden inner condition makes the body elements just as much as the body elements were train work with the accompanying tie-up of fast trains, slow freighters, and other vehicles. Clean up the inside of your body, clean away the rubbish and you will be able to do your job. How are you to do this you ask? In the first place take a hot bath and wash your hands. Your body water as hot as you can bear without hurting. Shake in this water and your body become permeated with the hands. Then dry the skin quickly, and get ready to work. Let the perparation pour from the body, and you will have the poisonous matter moving. Every drop of water will be used for your body, and a house-cleaning mound a body that is clean on the outside. Keep your bed covers on. Don't turn them back as soon as to chill the body. Swat out the poison matter. In a single night you can loosen a cold, and do it without a drop of medicine. All you need is this simple house-cleaning and your cold will go. Remember this, too. A cold that stays any kind of pneumonia. It may develop into taberculosis. It can bring on many troubles that will be serious. Don't take a chance. Get rid of the cold now by cleaning up inside—and then stay clean. In another article I shall tell you something about how to do this. Degree than any other substance, and it is strange that they have not been used as a more widely used antidote for poison. At Flammen, Italy, in 1861, while encavating on the site of the old Church of the Templars, dedicated to St. Paul, there was found an earthen vase. On this vase in ban-relief, he is a very wide design was a figure of St. Paul being bitten by a serpent, as described in Acts 29th chapter, verses 3 to 6. In Latin was read the inscription, "In the name of St. Paul and by this stone thou shalt draw out poison." It might appear that there were colored folks in St. Paul's day who knew the secret of this strange stone. Who knows the secret of a magnet which picks up only certain things? It is possible that the malstone, not made as its name indicates, possesses a like virtue and hidden strength in eliminating poison.

The dedication exercises were attended by many hundreds of people and a number of prominent citizens took part in the program. The building was afterward thrown open for inspection and multitudes of admiring visitors. The completion of this magnificent plant marks an epocalyptic milestone in the history of the school.

Located at the corner of Hancock and Roselane streets, it has all the facilities needed for a religious and educational environment, auditorium and Sunday school quarters and houses the Grace Presbyterian schools, domestic science and manual training equipment, recreational facilities, and the church. "It has surpassed our fondest hopes," said Dr. Little, "and is a credit to all the funds for the new plant were made in the village in an enthusiastic inter-democratic campaign conducted last year.

He valued the value of labor behind the counter of his father's general store in Monroe, and he disposited his father determined to give him every advantage of education and opportunity within the community. Of the 19 he was sent away to complete his high school education at Topeka, where he enrolled in Burne College and studied chemistry, graduating in 1880. But this he done, not was satisfied. He therefore enlisted in the Army, and received the university of Kansas and finished two years later with the degree of bachelor's degree. He finished one thing at a time and each of the things he began. He finished all his law courses after completing his law course. In 1890, the young people moved to the newly established Waukee Tahirion Territory (later Oklahoma), where he entered business for him; he grew great stores. He later moved to the district by President Harrison. As he grew, he became shorter to open a saw mill and cotton gin. He organized the first cotton mill, and became captain. But this prosperity lured. Changing conditions in the territory brought farmers and managers to the area upon which the town had prospered. This condition, coupled with the more prosperous Dalton brothers, caused him to return East to Kansas City in 1900. With $2,000 capital, he entered the manufacturing business and became a business owner in the factories. He first manufactured baking extracts, but turned to the more profitable cosmetics and toilet preparations as well. He became more general. In 1911, he moved his business to Chicago. Here, he developed the present great manufacturing business which has a commercial credit rating of more than $1,000, Having established himself as a successful merchant and manufacturer, Mr. Overton has interested himself in the commercial enterprises. In 1922 he helped organize the Douglas National Bank, in 1922 he organized the Vickers commercial more recently, he has organized the Chicago Bee Publishing Company and the finance Company. The companies in which he is actively interested have a combined capitalization of $1,850,000 and total resources of nearly $5,000. COMMERCIAL CULLINGS Detroit — The Michigan People Flock to Detroit was organized in 1925, with a capital of $50,000 has increased its capitalization. The company has increased its capitalization to $200,000 and added a real estate apartment. The company will soon come to Vernon and St. Antone street.

Fisk ran wild with plunging and passing during the first half, but Talladega turned this custom around and placed Fisk on the defensive the greater part of the second half.

The most notable feature in Howell's defense against Wilberforce was the kicking of Marshall, whose punts three times sailed into the end zone and made one of the most spectacular runs of the game with a 20-yard gain Hawkins, the 160-pound guard who suffered a broken leg in last year's game, to start the game, Cheney replaced Peyton at left end and Martin played the stitution of Smith at center for Hagan in the last quarter also added the line punches of Tynes, Wilberforce's right half back and the speed of Thornell was outstanding for games.

He displays approximately 200 pounds of beef, brawn and speed coupled with filling drive and fight. Although the Bears were handicapped by the absence of "Slim" Wilson, who was injured in the Langston tilt, and although Hackett and Murray, who played in the game today, had smoked because of the in-field, and was not tained in encounter with the Sooner State Ramblers, they refused to be outdone. Coach A. W. Mumford, shrewd Bear grid mentor, prepared a defense for the punting threat that Prairie View carries and thus removed all the sting out of the Panthers's organization. The Beas for Vardra charged and forced Mason, P. V. fullback and best punter in the conference, to get them off immediately, if not sooner. The Prairie View eleven displayed route a bit of fight when Simpkins, Bear back, touched a punk and a hit. The Painters Patrons used this break to make WILDCATS BEAT YATES LIONS IN CLOSE CONTEST WILDCATS BEAT YATES LIONS IN CLOSE CONTEST Playing on a field more suitable for water polo or a mud party, the ferocious Wheatley Wildcats defeated the less furious Yates Lions at West Point, and the Wildcats game was played before a capacity crowd of colored and white grid fann and fanettes, perhaps the largest attendance ever recorded at a colored high school game in Texas and the their opponents, the Wildcats began to demonstrate an offense and their opponents, the Wildcats began to attack the Wildcats, successful in every try except two, the Aerial attack on a forward and the first touchdown was scored in the second quarter on a forward and the first touchdown was won in Wildcat plunged the Yates line. Although outplayed and outgunned by the game, the Lions put up a fine exe- tence on the Lions and on two occa- sions, a touchdown seemed imminent; through a fumble on last down, the other hand, Coach Holland's team did not show any varied attack and the game was played. Whether the Fifth Warders are muddy or muddy in the Third Warders, was amply demonstrated Monday; for the caves on the slippery field like cave on the home, while the Lions did not do so "spoony" on the heavy gridron. On the high gridron, and an occasional off-tackle play on the part of the Wildcats and the old army, who resorted to the forward pass only twice, the game was void of any leash, and a mighty fine job they did. Talking about one den remnants of the other driated by the two being the game, and the beham pre-incubated by the Wheatley adherents when the pistol's shot terminated the The off-season was go and come, crunching, and there was little roughing on the part of the players, only rough touchs.

GOLDEN EAGLES CLAW DRAGONS ON MUDDY FIELD GOLDEN EAGLES CLAW DRAGONS ON MUDDY FIELD (By LEON A. RICHARDSON) Galveston, Texas. Despite rainy weather and a slippery field, Coach R. G. Lockett's Golden Eagles of Washington High School, Houston, clawed the Central High School Dragons into submission here last Friday by a 20-3 score. Central assumed an early lead; when a field goal was negotiated during the first half, which ended 3-0 in favor of the Dragons. Between halfway Coach Lockett engaged in his usual oratory, and made some changes in his live-up and the Eagles returned to the ferry with blood in their eyes—just determination written across their browns. Chagris was placed in center and W. Green at guard and the old Washington fighting spirit became evident. Jackson Washington's right tackling and one of the outstanding stars of the game received Galveston's punt on the Eagles' 20-yard line and returned it to the Dragons 40-yard line. Nugget then took the pigskin around right end for considerable yardage, placing the ball on Glaveton's 15-yard line. Porter plunged through the right end for 16 yards and a touchdown, while Sabches plunged the Dragon's line for the extra point. Sanches, rated as one of the fastest quarterbacks in the state, was forced out of the game due to injuries and Nugent was shifted to quarter and R. Green was sent in to fill Nugent's former position. The ball was kicked to Central and ran wild, rolling to the Dragons' 20-yard line. Before the Dragon back recovered the ball he was downed in his Central by Sodia. Washington is at the final time. The Central forged past which was intercepted by Hudson, the Washington who did not celebrate "mad dance" for 20 yards and another touchdown. The third quarter entered: Washington, 13; Central, 3. At the beginning of the last quarter, Washington received the ball and lost it on downs. Central tried another forward pass which was intercepted by "Ox" McGinnis of Washington, who dashed 40 yards for the third touchdown. Porter went through the Dragon's primary defense for the extra point. Putting duel between Jackson and Central and Porter, of Washington featured the last 10 minutes of play. The Eagles' stars were: Jackson, Sanchez, Nugent, Porter, Chagels, W. Green, Huddleston and McGinnis, while Jackson, Branch, Smith, Desol, Anderson and Thomas were Dragons. Washington—32 Thomas L. E.

Behind the store, with his face buried in his hands, he looked for the first time into youth's krenest tragedy; a vast conviction of his own inability to attain it. He tried to consider it in personally and debated it as a purely academic question. Was it better to learn caught a glimpse of the unattainable or to have stayed in ignorance of it all, sweating it out in the security of the camp, finding escape only in his reading, music, pictures, the sort of things that couldn't hit back? Now even the little that he was sending home was desperately gooded there. If Polly was given this year, and perhaps next, she would probably marry, and marry well. The mantime she and his mother must have the best possible background. Let me back on his partiring from a realization that some troop divisions within him for he had made the mistake of being a part of them we were in a reconciliation parting after a woe of festivities. She had been the follower Sunday, when he would have been cessively likely that her that would be a lot of work to be made up and she not know when he would be able to do that she had looked surprised and hurt that was best. There was no use to go ahead toward an agonizing smash of the enemy, but that was the wiser. Now he must be fit together, back up - face Through the heavy stillness came the sound of an automobile engine throbbing in the sand of the main sand some little distance away. It fretted the structure that the boy was commencing to build—challenged its permanence. He dropped his face in his hands. "A bunch of tourists on their way to see the Ashley river gardens," he thought. They were commencing to discover them now. Coming from way up North in their great new machines that looked so out of space in the ancient solitudes of north and forest. He wished they had to stay away. Their appearance stranded differences so heavily, started absurd laggings. He heard a step in the store, got away to his feet, shook himself together and went out. The large room was gloomy, and by comparison the doerway seemed almost dazzling in the afternoon sun. It framed a foreground of white sand road and a towering back drop of straight pine bolts. In the centre of the picture showing only in silhouette, stood Valerie. She hesitated a moment, then advanced toward him. While he thought, "This isn't right. This will upset everything again," his quick perception of beauty caught the sinuous flow of the little body, carried now with a childish bravado. He said, "Oh, good God," and stood motionless. On his face was the odd look that had counted no heavily against him when he was a child — the wide-eyed, almost vacuous gaze. Finally he broke into movement, holding out his hand—"Valerie." "Yes," she said, laughing a little khakily, "right you are, but don't be so frightened. I haven't come to call. That wouldn't be proper. I have come on a mission. I have come to save you. In there some place where we can talk?" She had spoken in a light man-bed with a wink in an undertone in her mouth. She looked inside the store and opened the door behind her in silence. He was followed her in silence. He was excited appearance, and by the pain excited vibrations that her presence did book about her, saying an answer. Uncle George was taking the child from the store to drop me off here. Then with her came immediately to the point. "You remember what I had told you father and the bad time he had "I well, I have been thinking about him a lot since, and I couldn't help thinking about your saying that, you see you see you in a new light, and it made me hope you have your great danger and it tell you.

He was such a relentless taskmaster—he was a terrily lonely soul—but his things were all so beautiful that the gallery told you, you said you loved pictures. Then, after I had left, I suddenly told you that you were looking suddenly that you were looking in for it. That made me feel terribly responsible. I could not rest until I could see what I was doing. I think you have. Try to make it pave the way. Then you can have beauty, but you can also. Am fortunate. She had been able to before him while she spoke. Now her body went slack. She sighed and so you into the depths of Sain't big chan. The boy mood looked down at her with preferential solleness. "You don't know what I don't know yet. I don't think quickly, you know. There has always been a dream. It seemed so fun, so hard to imagine that things of like thosus fossils there, hoping I would stumble on it and see it, changed values, made me see other things as important and on top of changed values, made me see other times. Now here I am back on earth again. I see this job for what it is, I am beginning to latch it on. I am changing values, making me get to have her chance. I've got to play up for mother. So there we are!" I am now beginning to see some justification to get to have her chance. I've got to play up for mother. So there we are!" She told him exactly. "You see, have been thinking terribly hard about it. I took a lot of courage to if I had not had an idea." She was so small and so desperate that Saint could not help him. "Oh, don't take this lightly," she begged. "It hasn't been easy for me and I can't just waste it all. You must see it like this: Now you are in a job that you can do, but you can do, when better. I don't need to be on the mat, but you have lots of imagination that you have just been playing in this room with, keeping that door into the store closed all the time. Why can't you spend some of it on the job? Whatever it is, you can make it grow. You can do your own, we succeeded you will have time and money for healthy, too, and she won't disillusion you then as she has Dad." Saint sat down opposite his guest and looked into the fire that crackled on the hearth between them. After a while he said: "Dreams are funny things. They have mastered when I'm a kind-shoulder. I'm a good one to stay—but our here I have learned to keep them in their place a little. I only let them come into this room, and never gross that threshold into the store. It was hard keeping them shut up at first, I can tell you. But now they're being. There I think they'd play a little. I started things out, studying. I seemed that if I could only keep alive by what I got beyond that door, I could keep on finding my happiness alone in here. Then there was always the vague hope that some time, some how a miracle would happen and I'd find the way for an in-depth meeting or painting, and would never have to open the door in the store again. "But don't you see, you can't keep on that way. That's drifting. You must carry your imagination over that threshold—into life—and make it work for you. You are young, and no one can count on always meeting life alone." She blushed hotly, stole a sidelong glance at him that brought reassurance, them hurried on: "I mean life is something to be gone after—fought for—not just dreamed over." She broke off suddenly, then mocked herself. "Here I am getting as intrigued as you and my pose in rushes. My nice casual little girl goes nonoral, and I have to tell her I have I have. We've all got to think things out for ourselves, anyway. You can be a little patient, she could be back any minute and she can be back up with the riddle to be picked up with you in a homeward journey. She had an over-air of dindiness about her and the coldness of her coolness. Saint took it and held it for a while, then she left the solenity of youth, "Thank you Valerie. I have to think this all out. But I will never forget your coming." She said, "I will always right," she replied in a deliberately wrong way, "but I don't think that my sort of modelling son can't help doing for a friend I feel better for having done it." In the moment of departure she insisted, turned slowly and for the first time, to the etchings, the books, the guitar, the self-instruction book. She completed the self-instruction book and took both of her hands impatient. In the upright light of the room, she looked at the book. "Oh," she said, "I am sorry for you and I'm proud of you. This little Saint helped Valerie up beside him while he responded to the cheery greetings, then stood and watched the car diminish toward a far vanishing point. Instinctively he turned back into the old avenue of escape—the splendid abstract dreams that had pulled him through the bitter momentas of his adolescence. He opened his mind to them, and suddenly they were upon him, brightly amazing, and a smallness of the sunning, unleashing under the trees turned the trick—its incongruity in that primitive setting. Under the rubber tires, a scant six feet deep—carcasses of dinosaurs, their great teeth and bone fragments waiting for the shovels of the Negroes to show them the light again. They rose before him. In the dusk under the live oaks he saw vast moving shapes oddly balanced on hind legs while they reached to feed on treets. They were so real, so marveliously convincing, he regarded them with a sort of detached pride, akin to the thrill of creation. The last glimmer of a sanguine sunshine, winked along bars by the tree, took the pen্যtated the dusk and burned faintly on the swaying forms. Then the swamp mists bellied in whitely and blurred the huge outlines. Saint became conscious of the roughness of the bark against which he leaned. "What he thought, 'and what does it all amount to anyway?' He pulled himself up sharply. What I would do, he said, was to something in him; and he didn't put him down as a quitter. He straightened up resolutely and jammed his foot on the ground. Then he strode quickly across the road and entered the store. One month had passed since Wentworth had been to the city for the St. Cecilia ball fair years since he had gone to the city. Mr. Raymond had sent word that he would call at noon. There was an important matter to be threshed out. The two men had already met for the former and the other. The man had the great long-to-geter and Saint had been installed. Mr. Raymond belonged to a world of statistics, directors' meetings, conferences and other other activities. The most of the big Broad Street offices and the surrounding financial district. Wentworth had been directly answerable to the commission manager, an ex-member of the local office, who was named Goodlow, to whom a trade was as the breath of life, and who naturally regarded his aristocratic subordinate with the traditions of suspicion and disbelief of white habits. Years of penny-pinching had raised him from the keeper of one of the smallest branches to the position of purchasing and managerial head of the public. He was also disliked him intensely, but he also knew that, having come into the job over the manager's head, at the hands of the great Mr. Raymond, he enjoyed the great goodwill of the people. Goodlow, mind, and that was why he was, at least, left largely to himself. It was odd that Saint felt no nervous apprehension of the progress of the living his friend. He wondered about this for a while. What had brought about the difference? Then he got the answer: the ball, not the event, but the event. He was in the goodwill of importance that it stood with him in spite of his disillusioning return to the realities of the camp. He remember that his own day when he had been given a job, he smiled at his own expense. When Mr. Eaymond arrived he greeted his employer warmly in the car. He was the only one in the air that seemed to temper the ex-army airman. He waded in the wardhouses him when they had driven out to the store that other morning four years ago. He stood silent while the airman looked at him with the sense of invitation, preceded Wentworth into his little sanctum, Stratagone, where he and the pair the sense of superiority which (Continued on Page Seven) (by RYAN P.

Against Peter's protest God said, "What God hated cleaned, what God loved." Peter let down from heaven and take back again indicated that both Jesus and Gentiles were on high. The spirit of God had bedecked him with a crown of flowers. Peter explained to Coelius how God had removed his Jewish prejudice and then, being asked that they were ready to leave the monastery, he asked Jesus to them. In his sermon to Coelius, he set forth: n. The basis of salvation--the death of Christ. b. the scope of salvation—whose ever bishop on hell on Earth, the preparation of this salvation—fatha in Christ.

The room was less a part of the store building than it was of the man before him. It confused the issue, making him feel like a giant in his own house. Mr. Raymond stood looking out him in silence for a few hours. There were many books, and his reading glance failed to discover a familiar title upon any of the matter arranged holdings. There were several etchings, and odd bits of statutory. In a corner stood a glass case containing a small collection of fossils from the mines. His glance came back to Wentworth and rested on him questioningly. He had had him mentally laboured. The book had been hopelessly devoid of ability, personally everything that could make for success. He had taken him on and buried him here because Kate Wentworth was one of the finest women God ever made, and he wanted to do what he could for her son. Now, I gather that Baggard subpoetaed reinforced by this inexplicable background, the boy was emerging as a mystery, and he was hopeless of mysticism. His people had changed physically, too- filled out—and there was an ease and resilience about his carriage that denoted reserves of vigour. Saint begged his guest to be seated and returned to the store for the box of cigars. When he re-entered the room, the Rakeman asked for the mantlepiece from which he was in the act of lifting a small curious object, holding it gingerly in his heavy, blunt finger. The mantle affair, Wentworth," he beigned. Saint took it and built it. It was a strange sort of difference. It was about six inches in height, made of some heavy, dark wood. Oddly out of proportion, it yet resembles a womb. It was a small, rounded mass, were massive and primitively made. not, the eyes half closed, the nose broad and flat. The answer came with diffidence. "Oh, that! Why that's a piece of primitive drif具的wouture. It was almost a duplicate of a piece in a collection at the museum, and when he offered the other day by the British and British sale or exchange the director arranged for me to take it off their hands." He hesitated a moment while he studied the bit of wood, then he added impulsively: "Not often a fellow down here gets a chance like that I can tell you." "Ahem! no—I suppose not," Raymond replied. Then, seizing the opportunity offered by the topic, he sat down, relighted his cigar, and said, "We, some sententiousness: Negro, who has not conferred with the real-ter in hand. I thought, Westworth, that we had rather given you an idea of the policy toward Buggart and his men out here. It's not the sort of thing that we issue order about, you understand, but there is a general feeling among the men that it is for the good of all concerned not to interfere with his administration of the law in this district. Perhaps you haven't quite realized this!" And he looked at Saint with raised eyebrows. "But I do not understand Mr. Raymond, and God knows I've minded my own business. Why, I even let that yellow skim Bluton hang around me, and keep my mouth shut while I wait on him." "Oh, it's nothing about the store," Raymond said. "I matter of course, or older—other for fire shooting Saturday night, and that you appeared for him and that "oh, that!" exclaimed Saint, his voice low. "You don't understand. I did Davy help me take stock until midnight, when he told me about his summer. I that there was some mistake, so I offered to get to the hearing and call me." Raymond leaned forward with his elbows on the arms of the chair and This delicately-perfumed preparation quickly and easily makes even the most harsh, wiry and unruly hair, so long, straight and silky it can be arranged in the latest style and will stay that way, always appearing smooth and glossy.

The boy was struck again, as again, when he bent his knees and looked up at eyes, but when he spoke the bold, flexible voice had a defied edge—vice "I see that I have to be very plain- spoken with you, Wentworth. It is hard matter to put into work. It I am so much to write to you to you. We—that is the company, the labor, the magistrate, you—have all shaken down into a system that is so big as you know—you tainly is faulty, but I am not sure that it is such a bad arrangement for her all. To begin with the state a magistrate's help and require you do a paid office to do it. I live like a white man on seventy-five dollars a month, and—here's the joker—such pesqu�iates—as the office of the state of the state—has been a place of the voter. It not the mining interests with their few white votes, but the rank and of poor-white small farmers, work- ing for the state. For the most mass worse than they do the devil. They give their man the job for what it is worth, requiring of him two things to keep the legal system up. We are all the same as they say. In all place and when all other unlawful police at his command, to maintain order in the district. From their point of view Bargart is a success. We are all the same as each other—it are at the penalty of any man upon the knowledge and belief of his constituency or the invaluable Bl uto. Now we see what will happen to the mining course of the country. If If we stand with a Negro openly against the magistrate we are going back on our color; according to his knowledge of the case, we are all the the Negroes and putting unso noises in their heads. In reprisal, then, the magistrate has only to flood the silence with warrants under perfected prosperity and the lawless lawless, and in turn round taxes, dog taxes, and God only knows what not, and in this way paupierize our Negroes, and de- serted to extend cooperation, as it is called, and as long as we do we have Lustro POPUL es, dances, the re—you will n and women tiful, smooth, too. is the use of This delicate quickly and harsh, wiry straight and the latest s always appe Start using and inexper and the gre Pluko HAIR DRESSING Price 50¢ PRICE ONLY BY The Pluko Company NEWPORT, RI. 02810 AMSTERDAM, N.J. 00434 WHITE 50¢ AMBER 25¢ a right to expect him not to be too excessive in his demands. At any rate, be the ethics what they may, we are powerless because Beggart is doing exactly what his constitution permits him here to do. He appointed Saint, "all the money that the fines bring in, what becomes of that?" Mr. Raymond inhaled a deep breath of tobacco smoke and blew it toward the camera, "a Prector Bargarrat's cryptic smile, "a Prector Bargarrat's little secret." After a moment he bent down and shouted, "Secure that we are trying through an underground route to have all magistrates required to give receipts to the police, and to restrain, but I doubt if we can get away." Mr. Raymond, "Saint asked, "what would you have me to do about Dava? Why. We was working under the time. I had to take care of him." "Certainly, take care of him, but in the proper way. What you've done is apt to lay him open for an ungodly disciplining now. It will be Baggart's indirect way of enlightening you. He has to come down hard on insubordination. He has to be invincible. That's what gives him his hold over them. Remember that last case? Time Blut on was ripped by that old fellow Ned? Baggart simply had to get that mail. It cost him lots of money, private detective, and all that, but he put him up for ten years. Result: no more razor exercise since that night. But to get back to this specific case—here's how it stands: Everybody knows Davy's weakness for crape. He was due for a contribution, that's all. You had only to sit tight, and the next morning he'd have come to you for his fine. If his credit was strong on your books, you could have advanced him the ten dollars then and there; if not, you could have sent two down on account. Baggart makes terms, you know—two down, two a week. That way you would have been playing the game and everybody would have been happy." PAGE SEVEN Saint said, "I mind not getting Dear Doctor, but I better do it now!" The emptier gave the matter thought. At length he said, "The little thing he did to me is that he is not a bad sort to talk to. You'll have to handle it a little delicately. Compliment him on the way he hears the Lord's Word. He will begin to understand how he gets such fine results. He can be in the future. Fine word that—cooperation. The say offhand that you have a special friend. In trouble again to let you know. "That's a nasty mess to stumble," he remarked. "but can I help him by going." "That's right," Mr. Raymond applauded. "I support him, horns and hats out of the road. Only way to get ahead." He and smoked a cigar and hated the abbreviation on the subject in the abstract. "Strange tangles this Negro business. Had a talk with a neighbor of your town, he brought up a chap-open speech. He's been thinking a lot about it and it sized up to him. He was all for the Negro race, and hated him as an individual, but that in the South, we have the individual Negro. He was all for the Negro race. I told him that if he had been South during reconstruction and the Civil War, he'd know mighty well why, as a race, we have to hold him under control." "Eat in the recounties," Saint argued. "they're not getting anywhere are they?" END OF INSTALLMENT VII. Mr. Raymond said man who does not hesitate to speak his own opinion. Consequently there is considerable difficulty in breaking into the old conventional social order. Just how far Mr. Raymond succeeds is to be found in the eightth installment.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1929 'TOO MANY COOKS SPOIL THE BROTH! Because of its attitude in the local hospital situation, The Informer has been accused, in certain circles, of trying to incite interracial discord and preaching a gospel predicated on prejudice and rancor. This paper has contended repeatedly that the Houston Negro Hospital will never function in the manner desired by the donor under the present system of a dual board of control, one colored and the other white; and whatever opinions others may hold in this respect. The Informer holds to its off-express view that such an arrangement of conflicting authorities will do more to injure the institution and make for interracial mistrust and misunderstanding than anything this paper may say or do. After all, the main fight The Informer has waged against or upon this hospital has been directed more at the system than at any one individual; and if any persons connected with the institution may that they have been attended by our authorities, it was because of the position they hold and the attitude they have assumed in the matter, rather than what The Informer has held or insinuated. That too many cooks spoil the kitchen, an established fact in the kitchen, and no kitchen can function unless there is one responsible head; and, likewise, no institution can function unless there is one responsible and controlling body. An advisory committee is all right in its place, whether with a hospital or any other institution; but when such advisory committee becomes the dominant body—zaristic, kaiseristic and au- tomatic, of its nature, than there is very little left for any board of members of its office to occupy honorary office and share the attendant emolymy hours. Instead of endeavoring to operate the Houston Negro Hospital with two boards—one colored and one white—it appears to The Informer that one board, composed of members of both races, could serve the institution and cause much more efficiently and make for better relations and understanding between the two races. As long as there is a white advisory committee, ever holding a "big stick" over the heads of the colored directors, coundermand and even daring the Negro officials of the hospital to take such steps as would advance the interests of the institution to a marked degree, very little progress will be made in hospital management on the part of the blacks, and headway in interracial relations. To be perfectly frank, the Negro is just about as suspicious of the average American white man as the white man is of the Negro, and as long as any body of whites deals with a body of blacks, as has been the case with the Houston Negro Hospital, the breech between the two races is widened and the Negro loses faith in the white man's sense of fairness, justice and right. If this hospital were given to the Negroes not only as an elementary institution and health center, but as a place where the Negro is treated with respect, the Negroes can operate and develop such a plant, very little will be accomplished as long as the present system of two conflicting boards is in vogue. As The Informer sees it, the Houston Negro Hospital should be governed by a bi-racial body, meaning a board of directors composed of members of the two races, where they could plan, counsel and act as one body and not essay to function as two distinct bodies. The intelligent and self-respecting Negro is anxious to share the cooperation and goodwill of the white man, but cooperation, occasionally, is more of a relative term. Some times fifty-fifty is not fifty-fifty, as was shown when a ausage maker, asked how he made his sausage, replied that it was "a fifty-fifty proposition: one rabbit to one horse." In advocating a bi-racial board of directors, the Informer makes the suggestion because this paper canceled believes that only through such a sensible and fair method can the Houston Negro Hospital attain its objective, and occupy the place in the life of the race and community so devoutly desired by the philanthropic community. Under the present system of dual management or mismanagement, the Houston Negro Hospital will never be "bold" to the Negroes of Houston; and, in assuming this position, The Informer is speaking "with authority and not as a scribe." DISTINGUISHED HISTORIAN COMING Teachers and others interested in Negro education and progress, who attend the session of the Colored Teachers' State Association, will have the opportunity to hear the most eminent historian of the Negro race, and one of America's leading authorities on Negro history. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History and editor of the Journal of Negro History, will be programmed for formal addresses during the Houston meeting. As the author of several historical books, Dr. Woodson stands The Houston Informer pre-eminent in the field of racial history, and his coming to Texas at this time is rather significant, if not epocal. The Negro knows less about his past than any other race in his numerous population; and, what is worse, very few of our race will permit us to learn something about the glorious past of the ebony sons of Ham. Negroes, even of the supposed educated class, have accepted, without protest or investigation, the scurrilous propaganda, circulated by other races regarding the black race; and the black American has an inferiority complex which seems to hold him in a position of great freedom. Many Negroes have been taught (and have accepted and embraced quite freely and willingly) the doctrine that even the color of their skin is a badge of dishonor and disgrace, and that the color of their skin is a divine curse pronounced upon their original progenitor. There are no outstanding historians since slavery, who have been able to dive into the past of the race and record its achievements and contributions, the black race has been at the mercy of biased and prejudiced historians of other races who have ever sought to discredit the race and destroy its moral and mental health. Great Teacher once taught that, "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he;" and going a bit further, He could have said: "As a race thinketh in its heart, so is it." Thought rules the world, and the thinking people (those who know and have the happy faculty of being able to put their knowledge into execution) not only are ruling and running the world, but also are doing not think and act in accordance with some thoughtful program. When the Negro learns more about his past achievements and the part black men have played in the world's civilization, he will take heart and become a more potent factor in the civilization of his day and generation; for no race can negotiate much distance on the gridiron of life without confidence in its ability to conquer the world with a fighting and determined spirit to reach the distant goal. NOTABLE EDUCATIONAL EVENT No similar event of its kind ever attracted the unusual attention, neither pulled the record crowds nor gave the people such helpful and valuable information as the Fall Food Festival and Cooking School sponsored by The Houston Informer, last week, in the auditorium of the Pilgrims' building. The Houston Gas and Fuel Company and the A-B Gas Range Company of Battle Creek, Michigan; the latter corporation making it possible for the class in culinary art to enjoy the excellent services of Mrs. A. D. Rodgers, nationally recognized as a foremost dietitian and home economics expert. Assisting from another angle, conspicuous service was rendered by the Ancient Order of Pilgrim brass band, directed by Prof. A. D. Ewell, and the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club of which Mrs. P. O. Smith is directress. At local firms maintained booth, while others cooperated by giving gifts and favors which were awarded during the demonstration. But the cooking school was a distinct success, and for four days hundreds of our women came out and received practical instruction in the art of preparing and serving meals; and on the closing evening (Friday), despite inclement and敢weather, nearly two hundred housewives braved the rain and mud and attended this school. One of the supreme officers of the Ancient Order of Pilgrims, in discussing the demonstration and large attendance of women, at the cooking school, was the building evoked as such genuine interest among Houston's representative women as The Informer's recent cooking school. The women, too, were demonstratively enthusiastic over the invaluable information they received and the many helpful hints and fine recipes obtained from the conductress and instructress, and all who attended the classes are unstinted in their praise of The Informer for making it possible for our women to get the same type of culinary instruction given women of other races by this eminent teacher. Being the first effort of its kind ever attempted by this paper, the great gift of all creativity and all patience contributed their part toward the success of the project; and The Informer is delighted to know that it has set a dizzy pace for any and all cooking schools which may be held in Houston hereafter. FLORIDA STILL IN THE LIMELIGHT Not content with her unenviable role for bank failures, tropical storms, economic disaster and divers other catastrophes, Florida is still trying to "hog" the spotlight, her recent act being a lynching orgy with a Negro as a victim of the hungry and heathenish mobbists. In a recent issue of the Crisis, Editor W. E. B. DeBois, in a brief paragraph about the Everglades State, stated that it appears that he has it in for Florida, and that no one could blame the Lord for his attitude toward this Dkxie state; to which we shout: "Amen!" Always a member of the Lynching League, Inc., Florida has often been a strong contender for the championship of the mobocratic circuit, and her late spurt in the present season evidences the fact that even financial reverses and abject poverty can not and do not deter the Floridians in their mid quest for high honors in Judge Lynch's loop. If the loany lynchocrats of this Southern state would devote their energy and efforts along more constructive and civilized lines and would redeem their state from its economic debacle and have an attitude to ensure that they would not have any climate for staging and Pantheral decals and heathen horrors. BISHOP COLLEGE'S BRIGHT FUTURE When announcement was made last spring that Prof. Joseph J. Rhoads, an outstanding alumnus of the school and principal of the Washington High School at Dallas, had been chosen as the first Negro president of Bishop College, located at Marshall. The Informer predicted that Mr. Rhoads' election as titular head of this medical institution of learning would usher in a new and better day for the school. With the first financial effort of the new president exceeding its goal within a 30-day period, and with the unusual interest now being manifested in the college from all sections of the country, it begins to appear that the future of this school is indeed roary and bright. As one of the foremost educational institutions for the higher education of colored youth in the Southwest, Bishop College is worthy of the support and backing of every person who believes in Negro education, without regard to denominational affiliations, or racial lines. The informer takes this opportunity to felicitate President Rhoads and his committee for the splendid results accomplished in the $5,000 drive, and the business-like and systematic method with which it was conducted, which seem to be indicative of a bigger and better Bishop. Marshall, Texas. — A representative group of "Better Bishop Kally workers were present at the dinner served in the dining hall of the college, Nov. 9, at high noon. The apacious hall had been beautifully decorated by a committee of students and a very appetizing culinary artist of the institution. In the course of the dinner Presidential hatch announced that $80,000 of buildings and grounds at the college would be donated to the campus and that additional reports were being received daily. He explained that new administration at Bishop to merit and cultivate the confidence and guidance of the program to promote a thorough understanding of the program which is being developed. The president expressed the apprehension that the cooperation given by the committee, students, faculty and staff would be achieved through the school, pointing out the improvements that have been made During the dinner brief addresses were delivered by Mrs. J. H. Moore, Prof. J. H. Moore, Mrs. G. T. Coleman, Dr. O. A. Fuller, Mrs. Melie Kelly, Dr. O. L. Bledsoe, and Mrs. A. B. Madison, all of Marshall; Mrs. C. L. Anders, Como; Mrs. Christine B. Cash, Pittsburgh, and Mrs. Thelma Carrington, Houston. The names of all members of the committee were read and the amounts collected to date announced. It was noted that Miss Louise Young of Jefferson, Texas, led the committee with $100. It was stated by President Rhoads that C. F. Richa-dson, Jr., had led the students in collecting funds for the college. Fifth Instalment of the Names of Contributors Marshall, Texas: I. Hochwald, W. Williams, Prof. S. S. Reid, Dr. G. T.
