There will be no charge for this concert whatsoever ever free will offering—no collection." Speaking of one musical event reminds us of another, namely: the male music melange of the Black- and White-融合, which will be the next Wednesday night, December 11, by the male octet of the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club. Every number on this program, which is being fostered by the Women's Music and the Black- and White-融合, Miss Virginia B. Miller, president, will be rendered by the male of the species. Of course, the directness of the club, Mrs. P. O. Smith, will serve as pianist, but the renditions will be all right. The弦乐团 will also expect, unique and odd. This will mark the first effort of its kind ever undertaken by the male group of this popular Houston musical organization, and the promoters of the melange over that it will be expected to be the hallmark musical event and triumph.

Projects MASONS TO MEET NEGRO PORTER HERE NEXT WEEK; BALKS ROBBER LEADERS COMING FOUND IN BANK New Orleans, La.—(ANP) In a lengthy open letter to Robert B. Barcus, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Ohio, S. W. Green, the Pythian supreme chancellor, has just made a reply to charges contained in a proclamation issued by the Ohioan in October in which a variety of complaints against the supreme lodge were contained and abstained from the Ohio grand lodge chairmen of any more taxes to the supreme lodge. Green replies: "I note that there are a low grain of wheat among the shaff contained in your proclamation." The principal accusation made by Barcus was: "For the fourth time the supreme lodge loved another new tax of one dollar per member against the supreme lodge loved another tax for the purpose of raising money for the purpose of rushing money for the national Pythian temple located in Chicago, Ill." The principal chancellor answers that the charge of Mr. Barcus is untrue and produces facts from the records of the organization from as far back as 1815.

He makes the claim that the top tax per member has been no more than twenty-five cents and that where it has seemed to be one dollar, the tax was to cover a four-year period. He also claims that real assessments for the national Pythian temple have not been made as claimed by Barcus. He explains that all so-called assessments made for this project have been, not assessments, but called so for the purpose of requiring the grand lodges to purchase Pythian temple bonds, paying six per cent interest, in an amount equal to that which the so-called assessment would bring. Mr. Green counters by making the charge that Mr. Barcus has shown himself to be opposed at all times to supreme lodge endeavors. “The records will show,” he writes, “that you as a representative from the grand lodge of Ohio, have tried to abolish all taxes for the purpose of securing property by the supreme lodge, whether the amount was one dollar per member per year, or twenty-five cents per member per year.” And again: The records also show that you not only opposed any kind of tax for the purchase of property by the supreme lodge, but that you as grand chancellor refused to pay the tax of twenty-five cents per capita per annum as voted by the supreme (Continued on Page 1) Eldorado, Ark.—(ANP)—To Henry Harris, porter of the National Bank of Commerce and Trust Company, goes the credit for frustrating Mr. Harris to rob the bank here Tuesday morning. Harris, who has been in the employ of the bank for a number of years, entered the bank about 6:30 o'clock Tuesday morning to clean up the bank. Harris arrived, rived. When he went into the director's room a hooded man pushed a pistol in his face and demanded him to throw up his hands. The command of the band was disliked by Mr. Harris, who instead of sticking his hands up, dared quickly behind a curtain and turned in the burglar alarm. Seeing that he had been caught, Mr. Harris came out of the back door, through which Harris had entered. Harris told him of his experience and subsequent search of the neighborhood revealed that he had been caught and a pair of overalls on the top of a car about two blocks from the bank. He discovered the robber must have discarded LANDLORDS BOOST RENTS IN HARLEM; NEGROES VICTIMS New York City.—(ANP)—The recent decision of a New York court, that the emergency rent laws were invalid, has led to a wholesale increase in the rents in Harlem. But the court has also allowed for the inclusion of inciting a general rebellion against the rains. Here in Harlem where the colored inhabitants are confined to a relative's apartment, they are elsewhere, they are at the mercy of unscrupulous landlords who are re-occupying the kitchenette apartments which landlords are asking from $18 to $20 a room, with the exception of the one room kitchenette apartments which are asking from $45 to $50 a month for the one room. A general protest is being organized in the failure of the Democratic administration to relief from this condition. Mayor Walker and his staff are coming in to share of rents from Harlemites. For the first time in the history of the organization, the male group of the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club will appear in a special program at Antoich Baptist Church, Wednesday night, December 11, in what promoters term a "male musical melange." Program will begin promptly at 8:30 o'clock, and no one will be admitted during the rendition of a number. DR. C. B. JOHNSON Second Tenor MRS. P. O. SMITH Directress-Planist C. F.

Marshall, Texas—Bishop College began its second quarter with several charter schools. These changes, such as they are, were made for the purpose of decreasing the load of work on some of the teachers and increasing the efficiency of the courses. The college now offers four years of work in English, mathematics, history, biology, chemistry and ancient and modern languages. It is also the only Negro college west of the Mississippi, which offers four years work in English, mathematics, history, biology, chemistry and ancient and modern languages. In the music it employs four full-time instructors; two of these outstanding teachers, Miss Ernestine Jessie Covington. A new course has been added to the curriculum, civil government which includes the study of Howard, J. C. Timmer, B. S., Howard and M. S. in mathematics from Chicapeco, Mexico, his work on his Ph.

The administration expects to add several new teachers as soon as to meet the standard required by the college. Thus spoke President Rhonda at evening ague. He further urged the students to "cultivate a passion for excellence and sustained mental labor and to ally themselves with the surface of ideas and to display initiative in all things." This he set aside and aimed at the college for coming years. A. B. C. F. RICHARDSON Basso M. H. MONTGOMERY First Tenor JAS. L. MITCHELL Baritone Supreme Chancellor Stopped In Attempt To Start New Order Winston-Salem, N. C. - Judge T. B. Finley, presiding over the November term of Superior Court for the trial of civil issues, signed a temporary restraining order last week, enjoining E. W. Pearson, J. T. Saunders, E. M. Dixon, special deputy supreme chancellors of the jurisdiction of North Carolina, Colored Knights of Pythias, and S. W. Green, supreme chancellor, from holding a reorganization meeting in Charlotte, December 3, for the purpose of reorganizing the grand lodge of Knights of Pythias of North Carolina. The order was given upon petition of W. S. Scales, grand chancellor of the lodge in this state; W. B. Windsor, grand keeper of records and seals; and the grand lodge of Knights of Pythias of North Carolina as a body. The action has grown out of an attempt on the part of S. W. Green, supreme chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of North America, Asia, Africa, and Auctioneer, composing the grand lodge of North Carolina to pay a tax of $8,338 upon the request for the erection of a Pythian temple for use of the supreme lodge. SIMMONS SAYS LIGHTNER HEARD HE WILL DEFEAT BY BUSINESS MEN COLORED SOLON ALSO EDITOR MAY The North Carolina grand lodge, having been forced to pay other supreme lodge levies four years in advance and because it is in no position to pay the tax, it is claimed by Scales, a resident of the city, and State Insurance Company, to have advised the lodge officials here that the supreme lodge tax cannot be paid from the endowment fund of the lodge. The endowment fund of this commonwealth will not countenance any action on the part of the lodge to borrow money to pay the tax. Commissioner Boney in a letter to Scales calls the national building program of the lodge necessary. The officers having notified S. W. Green, the supreme chancellor, that the tax could not be raised on account of conflict with insurance companies, the lodge was allowed to stand without allowance for the number of members quitting the lodge under present national regulations. The grand lodge of North Carolina granted a new lodge in the department of the state insurance department which recognizes only one of the Pythias order in the state, it is said. Montgomery, A.A.—(ANP)—“I will win my seat in congress,” was the declaration made by Roscoe Conkin Simmons of Chicago, in an address here at the Old Ship Baptist Church, during which he discussed his forthcoming race against Congressman Qscar DePriest from the First Congressional District of Illinois. “I left Alabama when a boy bound for congress,” said Simmons, “I wanted to take the spirit of Booker T. Washington into the arena of government. I seek to bring the Negro into his government and have him see country above race. In no other way can life or peace be found for him. He can be no stranger to the genius of our government and hope to enter in.” “By speech and act, by knowledge of my government and devotion to it and to the men who guide it and by the eloquence of voiceless patience, I wanted the North and South to say: ‘Hast him, this is the son of the great conflict and now he arises to serve all alike, the North of Grant and the South of Lee, and likewise the sons of the slave, around and about whom these matchless captains fought this nation into the indissoluble comradeship of liberty and unfion.’” “Let reports be what they may, the Chicago Negro outranks all our race in vision and native steadfastness, and I seek to be an apostle of his works, and to loose him from all false testaches.” FINAL NUMBER 28 RCUS GREEN Chancellor in Attempt New Order T.

W. Green, to appear before him in chambers December 14 at 3 o'clock, to show cause as to why the restraining order should not be made permanent. According to the complaint filed by the grand lodge officials the order in this case is in good condition, morally and at least as good as other law, as paid out over $80,000 to widows and orphans of deceased members within the past 16 months, and that there is no necessity for reorganization. It is further claimed that the grand lodge, and officials connected therewith, will be irregular and may not be used in a scheme to collect money for supreme lodge coffers is allowed to go through. Suspension of the state lodge as ordered by Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green of New Orleans, was contrary to the regulations and and by laws of the colored Pythian order, which provided that suspension can only be carried out by the supreme lodge in regular session, it is further stated in connection with the suit. The outcome of the litigation in this state is expected to have tremendous influence on the future of the order in America. Ohio colored Pythians have already withdrawn from jurisdiction of the supreme lodge. LIGHTNER HEARD BY BUSINESS MEN: BY BUSINESS MEN: L. H. Lighter, supreme clerk of the American Woodman, Denver, Colo., was the guest of honor and principal speaker at the Monday imminent meeting of the American Woodman Club. He urged our business men to familiarize themselves with conditions and facts calculated to help them in their business, and contended that a cooperative spirit is more essential to economic success than capital per se. Editor May of the Newspaper Magazine, dress in which he re-emphasized some of the romarks of Mr. Lighter and the Woodman, was canvassing for the fine program they are putting over.

MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS A Story of Sacrifice, Romance, Humor and Tragedy DU BOSE HEYWARD Author of PORGY PAGE TWO—ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION MAMBA—Not a full-blooded Negro but whose dark colored suggest, an admiral and American Indians, is the much beloved employee of the THE WENTWORTH FAMILY—Consists of Saint Julien de Chalay, a Frenchman, and Wentworth their widowed mother. The family is more an oracle than a widowed mother. MAUM NETTA—Another colored member of the Wentworth house- hold, who has been with them for many years. Mamba has an unannual, clever understanding of the ruling white class and also possesses a naturally deep and unusually rich contrasto with the. 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 maid 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 intelligence made her a strong and did not respond creditably to the school system. Mamba alone understood Saint. Mamba's gaius, musculus, slow-witted daughter, had an inordinate liking for strong drink, much to Mamba's distress. Two voice and a large body. Mamba had said Hagar was "born for trumpet" and "had a great sense of humor." HSA--Mamba's daughter, was the object of Mamba's sacrifice and the cause of Mamba's constant resistance against Hagar's habits. Mamba leaves the Wentworths for the Atkinsonns, who are also wealthy, incidentally more wealthy than aristocratic—in order that the Inmeantine Saint obtains a five dollar a week job as storekeeper at the mines and begins a business career. Mamba leaves the Wentworths for a welf with a Negro, whom she belabors with so much severity that she is arrested and charged with aggravated assault. Mamba acquires the mines by performing a man's work. She turns her earnings over to Mamba, who in combination church service and "Love Feast" (hagre new name is Baxter) befriends Blaton, a very much despipped mutalo, by carrying him to a city hospital after he has been severely burned. Mamba was forbidden to come within the city limits and she barely escapes again. The most exclusive event among the white folks is the hall of the St. Cecilia society. The Atkinsonns are elated over their invitation to attend this event, consequently they invite Mr. Atkinson's pretense. Mamba takes Lissa, who is now about ten years of age, to the Wentworth home to see Folly's evening gown. While there, Lissa is found to be developing into a very beautiful girl. Saint and Valerie have become very much interested in each other. In the meantime, an accident occurs which calls forth Saint's dissatisfaction with his position in the commissary. He hesitates to aid in the punishment of a Negro whom he knows to be innocent. The Reverend Thomas Grayson, a newcomer from New York, appears at the mining camp. He studied divinity in New England and came to the village intending to help his people in other fields besides religion. He is immediately recognized as a rival of the Reverend Whaley, the village sky-pilot. At church the Reverend Grayson notices Baxter's (Hagar) fine contralto voice. In turn Baxter is very much impressed with Reverend Grayson's modern philosophy of life. She begins to doubt the more superstitious preachments of the Reverend Whaley.

Chicago, IL. SYNOPSIS At the very moment when Bates went on their churn a conference which also included the destinies of the Reverend Thomas Crayson was upon the door of a businessman company's office. It had an appearance two white men had been aliring there since breakfast, onjoying their breakfast, of a vehicle sounded in the distance, the rumble of hooves over a bagger of a bagger turned into the private road behind his anun of tretters. He alighted, and his step, and stepped up his plank. "Well, gentlemen," he said, "this is a mighty pretty spell of weather we are having." *One of the white men motioned toward a chair. "Have a seat, Cap'n, and make yourself at home. Yes, the weather's set fair, I guess. When you can hear the town bells up here it usually means a pretty spell." Silence then for a moment, except for the fair, faint throb of chimes that followed the river all the way from the city and stirred the air about the men with a soft numming. Margart lighted a cigar, gripped it in his strong, stained teeth, and smiled his mirthless, muscular smile. - They tell me that the Reverend Quints is having a nervous spell, he commented. - Yes, and hard luck too, "remarked the taller of his two companions." "The old fellow has put in the great part of his life working among these 'niggers,' and he ought not to be interfered with." - Baggart's eyes met those of the speaker, and his muscular smile broadened into a grin. "Yes, a 'nigger's' a simple soul," he remarked, "and he's got simple ideas on religion. It would be a pity to have them upset. This crowd here's well behaved." - "How easy-going lot. They know what's good for 'em, and they ain't ready for new ideas yet." He puffed in silence for a moment, then asked casually: - "How d'that fellow Grayson get in here, anyway?" - The shorter white man flushed slightly under his tan as he explained: "Oh, he came in one day when we were just shutting up and said he wanted to work here. Looked so far, though am I told the money down for the empty shacks. I never thought much about it at the time." - "What sort of a lookin' cuss is he now dark?" - "High yaller, I guess you'd call it THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1929 Comes from New York, I hear, and talks like a college president. "Bad morals in New York 'specially among the 'niggers.' Can't have these God-fearing lavers perverted, as you might say," Bagart pardled his employment in the past year, and giving in his eyes like the refraction of light from blue granite paid tribute to his humorous subtlety. The two white men laughed softly and Baw*n*t's next question fell casually into the conversation: "Anybody said him yet that it's pretty unhealthy." One of the men said, "Well, to tell you the truth. Can'n't we'd rather not mess up in the affairs of the floor." We make it our business to keep hands off in matters that are their own concern. "Yes, very wise policy I am sure, but I think I started criticized ought to warn him. It's a mighty sickly country for a stranger, especially one with a touch of white blood, what with malaria and all that. If you gen- temen would like, I'll be passin' through the village tonight, and I could stop to give him a friend's word of advice as easy as not, or I could get Bluton to stop and see him." The two white men were obviously relieved. The taller one said, "Well, that's mighty good of you, Cap'n. And don't forget, any time we can do a little thing for you, you know "Sure," Bargart answered, and his voice was almost hearty. "Always glad to cooperate in any way, and I know you gentlemen feel the same way about it." Suddenly all three men sat forward in listening attitudes, then exchanged glances of satisfaction and understanding. From the direction of the village came the full-bodied music of a spiritual swelling out across the morse and ringing clear and sweet along the river. "Hello!" ejaculated the short man who had rented the cabins to Grayson. "Sounds like old Quintus has been all back in the fold again." Bargart got to his feet and threw away the sturn of his cigar. "Sure he has," he said. "They know what they want better" he do. Anyhow. I must just as well drop by tonight — never believe in leaving loose ends. Good-day. See you gentlemen again. But that night when the trotters pulled up before the cottage in which Gravson had set up his simple housekeeping there was no one to answer Bargart's peremptory hullo. He got down from the rig and rapped smartly on the door with his whip. Inside the empty house there was a desolate momentary reverberation, then silences. The trotters were feeling the chill night air and were paving trenches in the soft-sand with their fore feet. Baggard went to their heads and caught a muzzle in each hand with a sudden fierce affection. They whinnied, and he felt the brush of soft warm velvet against his jaw. "We all know what we want," he thought. "Niggers'—Horses. You don't have to tell a horse to leave spaghetti alone and eat hyx." The spring of 1917, and half the world in fiery dissolution, America in at last. Money. Shins. Then, suddenly—man power.

Saint Wentworth's blood crawled cold to his heart, then flung back in a burning tide, leaving a red haze before his eyes and a taste like brass on his tongue. Now, if ever, he needed the heroic dreams to help him through. But they would not come to him. On the contrary, after the first flush of anger, there were hideous little tremors at the pit of his stomach. But he had certain knowledge of what he must do. He turned the store over to Davy and went to town. In a week he was back. Crosps were essential to victory — phosphates of errors. "Saint" according to unanswerable departmental logic, was essential to phosphates. He was told to stick to the mines until he was called. Back again into the quiet of black Friday, that he inhabited the same place as his friends a few miles away in the marsh and pine forest of marshland and pine forest that were being delivered against the mute robbery of rubble opinion were muted. Then slowly the change commenced to coex. Invading committee areas and the colleges of colored organizations in town, for the most part. Keen young multitudes in their backwacks for the first time, telling them that this was the world made safe for democracy, world made safe for democracy, getting puffiful little contributions to war funds.

Not vague abstractions only, but suffering humanity—the welter of the battlefield—"Who was going to be help?" The inm of the speaker was cut short by a sobriety filled the room, unnoticed by walls of agony. An unnate voice said, "The blood he gave me on使命." The assemblage, and the spiritual assemblage, out in the little meeting house. In two and three the congregation was filled with tears, but the wife those that remained kept her alive. Finally there were only a few children. The young lawyer was frantically on a watch, running on aunch of an army Necroes and they had walked on on him. He got into his overcoat, and called the two pretty nurses. There was an arm in his arm. The nurse was sitting. The choir was unmine and, be that way they were coming back. Into the church they were armed and be that way they were armed to the platform. They be saw that they were money in the church and they were even a dollar bill. Every eveny in the and the outpouring of burying sympathy was a presence in the room. After that, in the black bell, there was the first glimmer of realization of the stupendous tragedy that was raging beyond the city somewhere out in the void. Then the draft: thirty prime boys from the camp, dressed in their Sunday clothes, waiting in the road before Baggart's office, not knowing a great deal about it all—very excited and self-important—boasting inordinately. Women—lots of them, crowding about, with the memory of the Red Cross speech in their minds, and an old, dark jungle terror of the unknown stiffening their faces, widening their eyes, as if here and there ripping free in a gust of hysteria. An incredibly ancient crone, whose mind had slipped a cog and snapped back seventy years, peering from half-blind eyes and waiting: "Dey's goin' teh sell um tub de sugar can't fields. Ah knows it.

Three of his boy-hood friends came now! He went to headquarters and made another effort to be transferred to not to service. He told them the whole truth about his fish. But they were too busy, now to listen to old stories with new twists to them, and he was sent back to the prime to wait. Valerie I and wrote from her Red Valerie I and wrote from her Red Cress unit in France; "I wanted you to be in dear, until I got here and saw it. But now I am not here and wait. It is not a bit like the soother at first, in the cappetine at Haven, I and I wished for you. But then the hives were coming out. New, here in my heart, and my heart breaks into little pieces over day. If it were not for two of the old New York crowd who were flaming and who are here in the hospital, I don't know what I would do. Then another time she said: "My boys are getting better, but the artist is into it. Of course, I am playing an important war in the war, but it is terrible to keep them heavily braced and tremendously brave about it, but they have spent their lives learning to see that they can't protect themselves as well as the others, and they have to pay so Saint's fingers closed over the lacemate letter as though it were a part of the girl who had written it. I am grateful for the first time in his life." AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER Smooth, light skin has the most fascinating Appeal Acid Stomach Excess acid is the common cause of indigestion.

Wentworth heard the metallic ring of silver on wood. Instead of going behind the counter, he jumped on the floor, his beak tight, his hard, his clenched teeth. But Wentworth looked up and of Blunton the Negro looked up and of Blunton his Expression was one of ludicrous steps, with the white man climbing upon him. Then the surprise in his eye gave place to explorer of fear, Wentworth. Exquisite tremors shook upon him, passed, leaving them pulled tilted, in a hard, level voice: "Get out!" The Negro backed rapidly toward them, then with the opening at his back, he ran. The question? Ah ain't done nuttin' and the knowledge of it 'fanned through Saint like an intoxicant. He closed an remaining distance, and Blunton the Negro looked at Blunton the coat collar.

Saint swung him around, thrust him through the door, and kicked him squarely off the pizza. Bluton lit and drew himself together for a bolt. "Stop," Saint commanded. The word brought the Negro up like a tautened lyrat, catching him in the very act of springing and pulling him about. Saint looked him squarely in the eyes and said: "I just want to tell you that I've got something on you that will put you up for ten years. It's all ready for you, and it's locked up in the office of a town lawyer. If you ever stick a leg in this store again I'll have you arrested. Get that? And if you take it out on any of my Negroes. It's the same thing. Now get to tell out of here." There was an ashy tinge to Button's complexion. Without a word the man turned on his heel. Wentworth opened and closed his fists several times, examining them in an impersonal and detached manner. Then he gave a short, exultant touch and put a question to the pines: "Now, where in the world did I get that from?"

The following morning, when Wentworth appeared at the general affairs on Broad Street, he was shown at once into the sanctum of the manager. Mr. Raymond rose and shook hands warmly. His eyes were quizzical as he rested them on the face of his storekeeper. He never knew quite what to expect from Wentworth. He said: "I have just sent a message sent to the mines asking you to come in. Something has happened out there that I want to discuss with you." Saint reddemed, but he said firmly: "I kicked him out of the store; that's all. I knew I would have to come a day, and yesterday was the day. If you don't mind I'll tell you my story now, then leave it to you." The employer regarded him with a grin. "Oh, so you kicked him out, did you? Go ahead. Who was he, and why?" Saint told his story briefly, then sent back in his chair awaiting the verdict. In a voice that gave me induration of feelings, Raymond remarked, "You have feelings, things rather independent of the company, haven't you?"

From the Atlantic to the Pacific it rang from a hundred million threats, clamed from frantic bells, and beloved from a continent's factory whistles. Peace. An end to the slaughter. Then, like a starting gun in a stupendous race, it thundered back and launched the country upon its brief and preposterous epoch of post-war extravagance, expansion and inflation. Across the Atlantic the masks were off at Versailles. The fourteen points, impractical, perhaps, but born of the agonies and aspirations of a people who would have done with war, were being manipulated cleverly as decoys, then, when the exhausted game had fluttered to hand, forgotten. Everywhere satiriate, business, individuals, in a mad stamped for the spoils. On the exchanges of stocks were rocketing, dazzling, unaccounted eyes, piling up illusory fortunes. Over mountains and across the plains the rails were humming beneath vast movements of freight. Wages were soaring. Everyone had something to sell—something to buy.

His figure was slender be muscular and knelt an air to the sun on the undistinguished and that he wore. He had just completed the final reports on his various war work commitments for the committee on public information—food conservation—agriculture, and now he was glad that it was over. Glad with the exception, perhaps, of his own idea. He had realized the unceasefulness of attempting to educate the people of the European conflict. He had cast around for some one concrete and durable outfit, and had hit upon the scheme of encouraging him with his farm. He had made arrangements for the B-42 that had been put in truck by Negro soldiers. He had become tremendous and now that they had been given a start he intended to keep behind the walls of his grown themselves, and to prove to his financial backers that the proposition could be made to pay on its own He glanced around the little room with a rather grim smile. As it had reflected the boy, with its books, guitar, specimens, so now it offered dumb but eloquent testimony upon the man. The centre table had given place to a large flat-top desk, and a filing cabinet stood in the corner once occupied by the bookcase. The guitar, the collection of fossils, the treasures, the African sculpture, the etchings, and the various things he had vanished. Valezia had once said that the room was his battle field. Well, here it was after the first engagement, and, as Saint surveyed it on the day of casting up accounts, there was in his own mind not the least doubt that the fight had gone well. He smiled a little indulgenently as he remembered the doubts, the vague gropings, the boyish passion that he had put into the quest for something that always eluded him, something that glimmered now and then from the printed page, that throbbed in a chord of music that took him sharply, when autumn rang against the pines. He was done with abstractions now. He was, face to face with something actual, something that yielded results that could be computed upon an adding machine. (Continued next week) Dr. Hamman says: You may wear plates that seem satisfactory in that they do not drop while eating, but there are many people suffering from stomach trouble and indigestion as a result of improperly made plates in that the chewing surfaces of the teeth are not shaped so that the food is properly ground up preparing it for the stomach. This is a vital point overlooked by many dentists and the majority of people in many cases with very unfortunate results. Many people wear plates that add to their age functional of making them look young as an scientifically fitted plate should.

The Bison failed to carry the ball to Bison territory for ensuction in the first half. The kick was wide, but the referee ruled it was good. The feature of the game was at the end of the first half, when Wiley footed the ball. The Bison tightened and the Wildcats failed to snare. The do-or-die attempts of the Wildcats were ferocious.

FOOT BEAUMONT WHEATLEY Taukegue Institute—Outclassed in every department of the game, and matching the Taukegue Tigers only in unfaltering courage, the football eleven of Buford State was crushed, 34-0 by the superior force of the local team in the Alumni Bowl before Thanksgiving Day before an enthusiastic and colorful crowd of 8,000 spectators from all parts of the country. At first the teams, like boxers, sparred for the vantage, each testing the mettle of the other. But it soon became apparent that the Tuskegee team had the edge on the Mountain erors, which was the longest defense could to win, and the pile-driving thrust of Shanklin and Joyner, whose surest tankers were eluded by the dexterous Ben Stevenson, by "Mule" Harrison and by "Tke" Robinson, who in the second quarter gathered into the box. The card was used from Harrison and ran 55 yards for a touchdown, exhibiting en route the most beautiful demonstration of open field running ever witnessed in the Alumni Bowl. Robinson's run from one side out of field is the first to the end of back through the entire Bluefield team and his magnificent swing into midfield and his final steps across the goal line for touchdown will, for a long time, be one of the marvels of Tuskegee's long and brilliant athletic ballerys. The Robinson in his head-taking run for the goal was that beautiful block work done by the Tuskegee players who never functioned better than they did in the game Thursday. Sprawling here and there over the grizzly field, the play had been taken out of the play by superb interference. Tuskegee had perfect football weather—fair and clear. There was a warm sun and no wind. The peculiar air currents of the Tuskegee Bowl were stilled for the entire playing period; and the ball sailed with a range of course due to wind variance. It was Stevenson, who on a short luck play, began the scoring for the team, and the team followed a steady march down the field. He added the extra point in the next quarter, and the extra that he attempted. Again in the same quarter, Shanklin touchdowns. Other touchdowns were registered by Steven Smith, LeVernie Smith and Stevenson in 1929 football finale that must also be written the names of Owen J. Duncan, Britton J. Critton, right tackle, of Luther, Oak. Both of these veterans were playing in the game, and the team turned in their most brilliant performances. Duncan was everywhere and the receiver when the ball was kick-off, scrubbed down the field and met the receiver when the ball was kick-off, scrubbed down the field and matted down nausea the same into his territory. Britton's work at tackling the highest peak. He was great or offensive and defense and when he was relieved late in the game he was still If the West Virginians were disheartened by the score at its mounted it. When the final whittle blew through their hope for a national victory, the visitors were still fighting gamely grimly and determined. But the final aerial attack failed to materialize. Of five attempted forward passes, three were brilliant quarterback, a member of last year's all-American team, and six were injured. Cain's inspiring leadership was missed early because of an arm injury, became aggravated, Sandigie won, Ellis left, halfway also for Wiggins, did a pretty piece of tackling when he blocked Hockett by the goal. Hockett had blocked it not been for this elusive lilies, who strung up from somewhere and ran up a touchdown for Taukeree. LOCAL BUSINESS MEN TO GIVE SCHOLARSHIPS According to an announcement made here this week, O. P. DeWalt, proprietor-manager of the Lincoln Theatre, and Hobart T.

These scholarships, in the form of tuition for one year's study, will be awarded the two pupils who are most deserving of such aid. THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1929 (B C. F. RICHARDSON, Sr.) Played at Wet End Park Enduring甘Day before the largest crowd which has ever witnessed a colored team win. Played at the school, the Booker T. W. Washington Golden Eagles, coached by R. G. ("Dick") Lockett, were leading the team in points, coaches, coached by J. E. Cordell, himself a protege of Coach Lockett 2:14, when darkness stopped the fragrance. The game was marred by continual wrangling over decisions of Referee John McCarthy, a highly athletic mentor, the Wildcats and their coach being the chief offenders. Undoubtedly the official timekeeper did not keep good tab on his time, for the game consumed more than one hour of actual playing. Commencing promptly at 3 p. m., and with the Washington Eagles ending the game with the same eleven players who started, and with Wheatley making few substitutions; with very little time taken out for injuries and other causes; with the customary 10-minute intermission between halves; with the game being stopped for three brief periods to clear the crackdown from the sideline; the games ended in the game called at 6:06 p.m. and it is being argued that three minutes still remain for concluding the contest. It was the longest and most weird game in this respect this writer has ever witnessed, and we have seen many gridiron battles during our lifetime. Though touted to defeat the Eagles in an easy fashion and though the betting fraternity was giving odds on the Wildcats, they were outclassed outgenerated, outsmarted and outplayed, and in the first three quarters the Eagles made the Felines look like a nickle worth of dog's meat. In the final frame the Wildcats negotiated one touchdown by the aerial route while the final marker came about through the referee's ruling on Wildcat pass, which an Eagle back Football authorities state that, instead of giving Wheatley a touchdown on this play, the ball should have been brought back to Washington's 1-yard line and put in play. After much argument the Eagles conceded the touchdown and the extra point was added by a line plunge. The running, passing attack of the Wildcats was stopped cold during the first three quarters, while the Eagles beat the Cats at their own game in the third spasm when they completed a beautiful pass for their third touchdown. The punting of Porter, Eagle back, was marvelously sensational, his spirals and punts averaging from 50 to 60 in order to the easing from which he got them off often bringing the vast crowd to its feet with vociferous cheering. For the Golden Eagles the other outstanding stars were: McGinnis, Jackson, Nugent, Porter, Sanchez, W. Green, Chagois; while E. and R. Hubbard, Mack, Sims, J. Green, Collier and Johnson were the Wildcats luminous rioters. In order to prevent a recurrence of Thanksgiving's fiasco, with the crowd rushing on the field, unless the heads of Yates and Washington can provide circus seats for the overflow crowd at their Christmas Day tilt, a larger playing field should be procured; for West End can not begin to accommodate the crowds now witnessing the games between these three local high This writer fears that one of the Thanksgiving game shows showed a pretty sorry face and his conduct and profanity reflected discernibly upon himself and his family, his cause. Both coaches and players must learn how to be good sports and for it requires more sportmanship to be a good lower than a winner.

The Bions are still scoreless but their season is a success. The annual tilt between Lincoln and Howard ranks with the Cornell-Penn fuss in the interest it arouses in colored ranks. Victory for one means a ruined season for the other and vice versa. A tie meant a great season for Howard. Before the battle Lincoln was rated a 5-to-1 choice in betting. The blue and white was not accorded a China man's chance. Outclassed on paper the were expected to make good dressing for the Lincoln turkey. For the first time since 1924, the date of the last Lincoln victory over the blue and white, the Lions expected to triumph—and by a comfortable margin. Orange and blue roosters were on dress parade. The 60-piece band, led by a six-foot, three-inch baton swinger, paraded jauntly into the shivering stadium and flaunted their colors in the places of the Howard's roosters. Comely color molds and jauntly garbed lads waved orange and blue pennants in a sea of Lincoln roosters. Howard was to be slaughtered to make a Roman holiday for Lincoln. But the Oxford rooters counted their chickens before they were out of the coop, ate their cake before it was baked. Howard put up one of the most inspired battles ever seen on any gridiron. Five times the time was forty minutes of tense struggling the blue and white held the menseing Lincoln team in the shadows of their goal posts. A touchdown seemed inevitable on each occasion: yet the plucky Howard team braced and turned back the attacks. Even in the last second of play, as the field judge had his hand on the menger of the gun, a Howard man, the Rash, batted down a forward pass over the goal line which would have meant defeat. This play in itself was an epic, for the defense man came out of nowhere to smear what looked like a perfect pass. Standing on Howard's 30-yard line, Harman of Lincoln uncorked a long toss to Barfield, Lion end. By the cleverly-shaved��ingman included all Howard defense men and stood unmolested over the Bison's goal waiting for the ball to nestle in his arms. But in that second that the ball takes to travel ten yards, Marshall, flashy Howard back, sensed the play and rushed toward Barfield. It was a tense moment, a race of many against the speed of the ball, human flying faster than a winged pig skin. Just as Barfield reached out for the ball Marshla flashed across his knees, and he bounced high in the air and batted the ball to the ground. This was the picturesque climax to the tall packed with many anti-climaxes. BULLDOGS BITE STATE COLLEGE IN FIERCE TILT BY FRANK SHERLOCK RENDER Nashville, N.C. — Teaming with the usual alertness and deceptiveness, the Fisk University Bulldogs earth over State College Tiger Thanksgiving by a score of 20 to 10 in their annual game. The moments of amazing football marked this glorious struggle but the start was slaughter made it more than a game of football for the Buildings, as their team was the gallant band of Tigers. However, the State lads had their national running of balls, the plucky quarter, and Jones, the giant end, who was still ending. But displaying this brilliancy and sidesteping and building with the 50 yard runs by "Jumping Joe" Wiggins and little "Duck" Ox, aided State started with a rush that knocked the Bulldogs for ten seconds seemingly at will. But the mighty defense, with its padded pants, took hold of the Bulldogs reinforcements and cramped the style of the Tigers in the Bulldogs scoring 15 first downs to the Tigers 8. Neither team scored well, the pride of the team, but comprised of exchanging of punts. And it was not until Wiggs, the team leader, prided in the team's some circuitry, when the tide began to turn. Being too much of a purr for the state Joe loosened his grip, averaging anywhere from 10 to 15 yards, before the team began to pry down into Joe, who had already scored a touchdown and a extra point. Cox through his still-tight grip touched down and added an extra point through the naked nucleus of the forward wall, had done his bit through a strong 15 yards through the State team for a touchdown. Fisk failed seven times to score through the first down, but he had been revived with a new spirit and the emblems to mother the Bulldogs' rally. TEACHERS IN OVERTON Miss. Lillian E.

ROAD TO SUCCESS (Biography: Harry H. Pace, president Supreme Liberty Life Insurance of the Negro Insurance Association.) The road to success is not strenued with roses but is filled with many appointments and pitfalls as may be shown by the biography of Harry H. Pace, president of Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company. Mr. Pace was graduated from college in Atlanta and received a professional career as did no many others of that time by banking in a professional enter business. This the did. He became the printer's devil in a shop owned by 3 prominent Atlanta stores, Dr. Dell-knall and the A. M. E. Church, and Mr. Matthew, trainee to the Atlanta schools but promenant did not grow and the business as a foreman and manager of the show but promenant to the business man was invaded into Dr. W. E. R. DuBois and Mr. Simmons to create a new printing business manager of the Moon, a final business man, a present Crisis, he worked for one year but the publication and its owners of their time and it finally found a place. With two unimpeachable business careers in position at Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Missouri, where he taught for 15 years, he later in career the ambition of the Memphis Solvent company was no-fee in salary from $190 down to $50 see month. But the company also in this young bank an opportunity for the development of his preconditioning cashier of the bank had abscended and left the bank in a very difficult position under Mr. Pace's direction and the confidence inspired by his aggressive fundraising from $2,400 to more than $600,000. Dressed in their very small beginning to $225 monthly. At this point itself, Beren, Pace, founder of Standard Life Insurance Company, the company's expanding, program. Mr. Pace once more sacrificed a part of his company because he disagreed with position which paid but $12 monthly. Seven years later when his salary had been $1,000, the company because he disagreed with position which paid but $12 monthly. As a result of the administration policies which Mr. Pace opposed, within five years the company crash- A new chapter in Negro business was opened when Mr. Pace having left Stardard Life went to New York and began business with W. C. Handy as publishers of sheet music. Sales for the first year exceeded $100,000. The demand for Negro music grew. He, therefore, organized the Black Swan Photograph Company and gave a market to the music of aspiring artists of the race. It was this company which gave the world Ethel Waters, Fletcher Henderson, David Hewman, H. Gaw, Grey, Freddie Washington and William Still, and opened the doors to countless others on the steeze and in the music world by breaking down the opposition to Negro singers. Then came the radio. To protect the company's interest the Black Swan Photograph Company was sold and Mr. Pace rewarded the insurance field. Leaving the Supreme Life Insurance Forum for the year ended in the year of the organization. In the year of the event the ex-pro Insurage group Insurance soon became on Negros Through present assistance to the Association of States of New Jersey and the University of New Jersey. A board of trustees of Lincoln is accomplished. Today Mr. Paice enjoyes the benefits of the fourth largest no-go insurance company in America, and the first great insurance thought provided by the University.

Sixty years ago a general city bond provided $120,000 for a hospital for the injured, received solid Negro support in the election through the promise of relief Want White Heads City officials, however, have delayed action, making a convenient political issue of the matter at each election and footballing it around from administration to a administration. Their effort has been to place the building adjacent to the white city hospital, a plan which the colored people have vigorously opposed on the grounds that such a location in a white factory district far removed from the colored section was inconvenient and undesirable, and that it conveyed it to a net end of color.

EDITORIALS THE HOUSTON INFORMER AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER "It Gets You Told—Nothing Else!" Published every Saturday by the Webster-Richardson Publishing Company Inc., 409-411 Smith Street, Houston, Texas One, Mr. Arnold of Florida, the state of the Neo-Republican party of the South, has devised a plan of whitening the G. O. P. From its inception, the Republican party has professed to operate without regard to race or color. It might safely be that President Grant, an eratist Democrat, and slave holder, embodyed and practiced this doctrine before all who went before or came after him. Rutherford B. Hayes first showed the white feather. Since the great surrender of '76, the G. O. P. until now, it is fairly characterised as "ily-white." Entered as second-class matter May 28, 1919, at the post-office at Houston, Otaxa, under the Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. G. F. RICHARDSON G. H. WEBSTER A. ALSTON ROBINSON CARTER W. WESLEY Editor-President General Manager-Treasurer Secretary Auditor SUBSCRIPTION RATES (Cash in Advance): One Year, $2,000* months, $1,50* 6 months, $1,25* single cover, 5e (No paper mailed for less than 6 months) HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1929 SOUTHERN SENTIMENT IS CHANGING But doctrine survives long after the sustaining practice has passed away. The party of Steven and Sumner is still called "Nego lovenoy," in some cases, for the party's candidates for governor in the recent campaign in Virginia was forced to apologize to the leader of the Republicans for seeming to sponsor a circular which implied any sort of fondness for the Republican of Virginia are every whit as white as their Democratic adversaries. Mr. Arnold suggested the best way to unify the hue of the two parties to blacken the Democrat in Virginia and to demoralize Democratic candidates in the North. This is already an accomplished fact New York has a Morton to match Chicago's Carvey. St. Louis nominated a Negro Democrat for congress in the South and the Republicans elected DePriest. The Informer notes with much pleasure the gradual change in sentiment in the South toward the Negro, which is manifesting itself in more ways than one, and which indicates that a better day in dawning in Dixie for both races. Of course, the South has not reached the upland stage in interracial relations, but marked progress has been made and is visible in the field of better of more amicable relations between the two races. Only last week two police officers were suspended in New Orleans, La., because they had tortured a Negro prison in an effort to force the black to confess to some alleged crime. The Informer remembers when such barbaric practices on the part of police and constabulary officers, with Negroes as victims, played an important part not only in their retention on the department, but added materially in their promotion. The police officers who were placed on duty in the South for their ability to officer and browse Negroes than because of their peculiar fitness for the role of peace officers. Only recently a Mississippi peace officer shot and fatally wounded a drunken white man, who had just a few moments before shot and killed an innocent colored minister. In Arkansas police officers placed a Negro suspect in an improvised electric chair, turned on the current and made him confess to some crime; and the judge of the trial court denounced that the convicted black will get a new trial. If I mistake not the first Negro judge to be appointed to the bench since reconstruction was elevated by Benjamin Butter, a famous Massa-na-na North is concerned, there is no great margin of political difference between the two parties on the issue of race and color. The Southern Democratic party is in contradiction to its Republican adversary which advocated equality of colors. The Southern democracy has held to its principle or rather its policy, while the "grand" party around to its adversary's position. In the educational field, the South is spending large sums of money for the training of colored youth, both in private and public schools. Many Southern cities are showing more interest in their Negro population and are taking advanced steps to make sections of the city more racially and socially diverse. Nearly every month some Dixie court hands down a decision outlawing residential segregation, whether the act is created by municipal ordinance or by a pact entered into by the white owners of residential property not to sell to any person of African descent or admixture. While improvement is being made along these and other lines, the Negro is being out in the labor field in the South, being supported by the efforts of other states in the right to vote is still denied the mere central of the Southern states through the device of the "white man's primary" law. The Republican party has already become whitened. President Hoover applied the last touch of the brush in the white washing process. The Republican party were deliberately ignored in the platform on which he stood and was elected. He eliminated every trace of Negro influence in the organization and management of party affairs. He set up a committee to investigate his vice he ignored. He has minimized the Negro as an office-holder, both by silence and neglect. He inherited a few Negro officials who are holding over with tremulous tenure. The Negro party has no place under his brand of leadership. The obvious object of this lily-wide policy is to so whiten the Republican party that it can no longer be rebroached by its adversary the taint of contamination with blackness. He has his point of view, to enable it to compete with its Democratic rival on Southern soil. This is one of his "noble experiments" which does not give great promise of success. The Negro party and Kentucky indicates the outcome. Conditions will continue to improve in proportion as the Negroes show more genuine interest in their own welfare and organize their forces for the acquisition, exercise and enjoyment of all rights vouchsafed to them under the provisions of the federal constitution. No race makes enemies for itself by contending for its rights, but on the other hand the race which wages an intelligent and concerted fight for its rights will make many friends and supporters by so doing. The Negro who asserts that "all white folks are alike" is as ally and foolish as the white person who argues that "all Negroes are alike" when both races change their attitude toward each other, and seek to understand and know each other better, the South will assume a far more commanding place in the life of this republic. The South can never hope to reach the topmost summits of enervation and achievement, along any line, as long as it attempts to hold part of its population in subject poverty, ignorance and assiduity. The South will never achieve equalities and other practices diametrically at variance with the fundamental principles of democracy and Christianity. POT CALLING KETTLE BLACK One of our daily journalistic contemporaries attempts to ridicate the reported attempt or plan to "blacken" the Democratic party, by electing Negroes to high offices on the party ticket in colored centers of the North and East; and then this local white editor essays to rap the Republican party for electing Negroes to high congressional and state offices in Northern states. The policy of defeating the enemy by imitating his tactics is always a ha zardous, strategic experiment. What on earth is the use of changing parties in Virginia, if the two can be made the same thing? Two college professors were pitted against each other in Virginia. The one bore the out-and-out Democratic label, the other was a sort of nomadic nondescript. The one thing which they tenaciously held in common was hostility to the other. The one who had no Negro turned his hand in the contest, nor shed a nail at the outcome. Florida, Texas, Tennessee and Oklahoma come next in turn. It now looks as if the reconstructed lily-wheel Republican party, of the Hoover stump, will fare as badly as the Democratic regime. The issue is on the knees of the gods, Mr. Hoover's political fate is in the balance. The debacle of the extra session of congress, the Wall street panic, the recalcitrance of the senatorial bloo, and the possibility of emasuring hard times will determine success or failure. Although praying for his success, I am balancing the favorable against the unfavorable fates. If he is succeed himself, the Southern Republican party will remain ill-yellow; if he fails, the old color scheme will doubtless recur, with the likelihood of success. While endearcing to castigate, by imbuendo and insinuation, the Republican party for electing Negroes to such offices in Illinois and other states of the North, our esteemed local contemporary overlooked the fact that his Democratic party nominated and Missouri, district last fall. This same paper also "forget to remember" that black Democrats have been elected to high political posts in New York, Ohio and other Northern states; and that even now there is a Negro Democrat serving as a number of the New York City Civil Service Commission, who was appointed to this important municipal office. During the last two or three presidential campaigns, the Democratic party thought enough of the black voters of the country to form a colored organization and to make a determined bid for votes from the colored electorate of the republic. Why, even in some of the Southern states, Texas not excluded, the leaders of the Democratic party have made strenuous efforts to corral Negro voters, as was demonstrated in this state when A. Ferguson ran against and defeated Dr. George C. Bute in 1924. In 1922, when George E. B. Peddy of Houston ran on a fusion ticket against Earle B. Mayfield for the United States senate, Democratic leaders in Texas catered to the Negro voters. Whenever a political party wants to win an election the color of the voter plays an unimportant part in the campaign; for it is not only any election and the color of the elector a minor consideration. If the Democratic party persists in its policy of catering to colored voters in the North and East, and electing Negroes to high political offices, the donkey party will soon be as "black" as the elephant party; and, as things stand now, this reference of the local white newspaper to the "blackness" of the Republican party, stifles The Informer as an instance of the pot trying to The whole measure of blame for this whitening of the Republican party can not be placed on the shoulders of Mr. Hoover, Mr. Armadillo, nor the members of the Democratic party, but them. Much of the fault lies in the Negro himself. On the whole, the Negro politician has cut a sorry figure from the first day he was unhired into the political arena. He was not a politician. It may be expected too much of them to have hoped otherwise. I was taken to account for a previous release in which I stated that too many Negro politicians were self-absorbed, sufficiently large proportion to give the group an evil reputation. It does not take many rotten apples to corrupt the barrel. The Negro politician has usually received the biggest pay roll among the party's leaders, race's best friends for back seats on the band wagon. He sacrificed John Sherman for Alger; Tom Reed, McKinley and Foraker for Taft. In this way he eliminated all of his genuine There is today not a single man in high and influential public life who would rink uttering one courageous word in his behalf with the fate of John Shriman. Tom Reed and Porky Pig have that so large a proportion of conspicuous Negro politicians, now functioning, or are recently have been under serious charges, some indictment, or condemnation. No, the tuoague argument will not hold. Notwithstanding that the Cesar may do as he please; but Cesar's wife must be above suspicion. The Negro politician is largely responsible for the whitening of the Republican party. Now we must stand on the side-line and look while these defendants decide the issue of battle! NEGROES MASS MUSIC TALENT FOR VISITORS NEGROES MASS MUSIC TALENT FOR VISITORS The Houston Press: With Jessica Ernestine Covington, pianist, as the artist of the evening and well trained choruses from all the Negro high schools of Houston and trained music teachers in the schools, Houston Ernestine presented a credible array of talent Friday night at the City Andorium for the entertainment of our visitors to Texas Colored Teachers Association. In addition to the choruses several of our visitors to Texas performed by Taylor Choral Club song. This also presented a male octet and a female chorus. This well-organized wide variety of material used by Negro composition of Negro artistry, several good school songs written by local composers, who sung both the popular and popular songs and classical pieces. Dedicated portions of the program were in the hands of Jessica Covington, self-appointed musical ambassador on her own race, who in doing so was able to strive to bring her people comprehension and appreciation of the Her playing has the consistent merit of good technical thoroughness and the charm of the choreography of Chonin, the slay of color in Capucina Viennesi, or the loveliness in which she displaced skillful petals of her own new face, Capucina Taylor, always a name held in reverence and an esteem of achievement of the Ride of Valkriese she gave with excellent commissure of music when agger's music when adapted to plan.

It is also the reason that older methods of hand-manufactures are giving way to modernized ones. Editor Houston Informer: Newspapers have recently been full of stories about lobbies and lobbyists at cur national capital. It has been revealed that Mr. Shearer, through his efforts, greatly enriched the shipbuilding interests; that Mr. newspapers are more interested in the blasted corporations of Pennsylvania; that Mr. Eryanson, thanks to the efforts of Senator Bingham, has practically dictated the new tariff rates on commodities manufactured by his own; even in the Nutmeg State, while Mr. William Buress, representing the United States Pottery Association, has been so diligent in trying to keep a high tariff on imported china-aware that he has brought upon himself the censure of the senate. Lobbyists are paid representatives of industrial or groups stationed at a strategist's initiative to further the interests of their employers. There is nothing sinister about their work unless it is hidden from the public. They are often of valuable assistance to the legislators and the public because a private interest frequently becomes a public one. In the same way, the Secretary has considered the security for lobbyists for the colored people of this country. Certainly we need them as much as he hundreds of corporations and industries do. And we need them far more urgently than do the Methodist in the Ku Klux Klan, the prohibitions and the advocates of "blue" Sundays. More than any other group in this country we need to watch our 91-girl internals to our interests is introduced. We need trained jobbists to work in the position to Negrophobism. We need an anti-jacking law; we need to protect more discriminatory legislation whether affect labor, education or marriage, and we need to force in force; we need civil rights laws in many of the countries are enforced; we need to end the discrimination against Negroes in the distribution of hard-grain food in school funds. We need, I repeat, a trained officer at every state capital. The cradle of laws is the legislature. Unless fort, when these laws are being born we need not register when we discovers that they are intended to be followed by a fellow who yell loudest that gets the most attention. This powerful lobby would not exceed $500,000 a year or less than 5 cents a year from every person who Negroes, who can afford to travel to football "classics," attest to Negroes, who can afford $2 or $6) a year getting their hair "done," a can afford a nickel or a dollar for the defense of their So far this task has been left to the few thousand Negroes who numbered more than 10 percent of the Advancement of Colored People. It has been efficiently done, considering the meagre amount of money contempt and surface. It is a national organization that is seven percent critical (and I am among them) will not say that it may be worth the money's worth. A group of ten million people can't expect much for seventy or eighty thousand dollars. Negroes do not need any new organization to sort and moderate these they have to seem as if they are loath to proprietors, patent medicine vendors, skin whiteners, numbers bankers and lottery players. They loom on the horizon, they demand that the N. A. A. C. P. or some other organization defend them. They demand that the group of defense men must make way for a well-organized and constant policy informed awareness of the lottery money but only a little from each woman. Wouldn't be wonderful if I do not expect the majority of Negroes to be interested in this matter — I have been a Negro a long time and I know the tribe. I am appealing, rather, to the half million enlightened minority that beasts of its intelligence. Its education and its group patriotism. If every member of this intelligent minority would give the N. A. A. C. P. a Christmas present of a dolls' membership, we could have a trained lobbist in every capital state and national, who might be able to accomplish as much for us as the other did for the armament manufacturers.

It is also pointed out that when bowds were issued against the Chicago temple, they were amortioned to the extent of $5,000 against the Ohio grand lodge, but that lodge despite the fact that it was shown to have funds on hand amounting to more than $69,000 and, in addition therefor, he has no possession of bonds valued at $36,000 refused to purchase any Pythian temple bonds. Against the charge which Mr. Barcus makes against the sale of the Pythian bathhouse in Hot Springs, Mr. Green supplies the information that Ohio was at the time of the sale behind in its obligations to the same severe lodge in a sum more than sufficient to have taken care of the de-fident taxes hanging over the bathhouse if it had cared to satisfy these obligations. Thus he places the re-conformability and blame for the loss of the bathhouse on the delinquent grand lodges. Mr. Barcus had proclaimed that the supreme lodge, having only $7,000 as against more than a million dollars worth of liabilities, was broke, but Mr. Green protests that Mr. Barcus overlooked more than $90,000 in liquid assets, despite thousands of dollars in other assets that are not considered liquid in banking circles. “The national Pythian temple and bathhouse are approximately $1,638,519.75 in debt to their creditors,” Mr. Barcus had proclaimed. From this sum, Mr. Green deducts $586,640 worth of Pythian temple certificates, which, he claims, are not an actual debt, because that amount represents taxes paid by members of the lodges and courts since 1903, for which certificates of stock have been issued to the grand jurisdictions which will entitle them to whatever dividends may be declared from the income of the national Pythian temple and the Pythian bathhouse and sanitarium by the Pythian temple commission. Homely Philosophy By Georgia Douglas Johnson SENSITIVENESS Undesign sensitiveness is a great hindrance. It causes one to be easily offended, and it is usually unintended. It makes one unpopular, even distilled, and hinders the ability to be annoyed to be annoyed by citing to the whims of the over-conscientious and so-called sensitiveness is an unhappy cloak that should be proudly and firmly disdained.
