RICHARDSON **** YULETIDE PRESENTS BAPTIST UNIFICATION POOR SPORTSMANSHIP Well, folks, another Christmas has come and gone, and, while this colony was fortunate for the winter, we are more timely December 25 for him, Santa Claus is now to it that yea scribe was not forgiven and we are very grateful. We are fortunate to us, either through seasonal greetings or other tokens. The Hunter, proprietor and manager of the Standard Bath House and Sanitarium at Marlin, sent us our usual consignation of Falls County eight choice birds. These fowls were distributed among The Informer family. The columnist's three sons—C. F. Jr., Leon and "Bob"—remembered their "Dad" with a large box of imported birds, good to schoolmate, Dr. T. M. Schadow, prominent Houston physician, also tendering us a box of the same Realizing that most smokers prefer an occasional change in their smokes, or tiring of having to telephone nearby drugstores for cigarettes for "Cimbee" and this writer, Mrs. G. T. Spivey, our bookkeeper, presented us (the "Rambler" and "Mirror") a carton of a popular brand of cigarettes. Speaking about "Cimbee," recalls to mind that he was very inquisitive during early December about the size of shirt this writer wears and the arm length; and, notwithstanding the fact we gave him the desired information several weeks before Christmas, it never dawned upon us the reason for such queries until he presented the writer with a beautiful shirt during the Yuletide season. Our friend, Dean J. T. Fox of the Houston Colored Junior College, also dropped by and remembered us with a nice present. In keeping with its annual custom, the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, Washington, D. C., gave us a 1930 edition of the pocket dairy which this company has been getting out for several years. From that matchless candy maker, Mrs. J. R. Burdette, wife of Bethel's pastor, came a box of home-made pecan candy, an ideally appreciative gift. Friends from here, there and elsewhere literally showered us with cards, some of them the most beautiful and artistic it has been our good pleasure to see or receive. It was truly a merry Christmas for us and we take this occasion to express our profoundest gratitude to all who remembered us during the Yuletide season. Here's hoping all of you a New Year filled with peace, happiness and prosperity. We are in receipt of a letter from Rev. Thomas I. Ballou, pastor of Greater Salem Baptist Church of Chicago and former pastor of Bethesda Baptist Church at Marshall (the latter being the church of this columnist's boyhood days), in which the Windy City divine suggests that we discuss the feasibility of the two wings of Negro Baptists reuniting their national organizations. When the rift first occurred among the Baptists composing the National Baptist Convention, at that time headed by the late Dr. E. C. Morris of Helena, Arkansas, this writer wrote column after column of editorial matter urging and pleading with the Baptists to bury their differences and get together. We took the same position then that we have taken recently in the split among the Baptists comprising the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas and, apparently, with the same results; for today we have two national organizations of Negro Baptists and it seems that the die has been cast to such an extent that unification of these forces is impossible. In an age of mergers, consolidations, coharmonias, the business world and educational fraternity the resultant good derived from such actions. American leaders, the nation, and Baptist America have too many selfish, self-centered and mammony-morphing leaders to trust, a reconciliation of spirit of diversity, the conquest of the land of Canaan, they would prefer, to coam wilderness and mount their forces the conquest of the promised land and the subjugation of the powers of evil, than to selfishness and mass their forces in a unified program of human reclamation. These are excellent subjects for sermon discourses, but, according to the Bible, not be put into execution in a practical way, least some of them should have power and how some of their pretense. Christianity is a contested and not a coercive doctrine; it is construed (Contained on Page Four) THE HOUSTON INFORMER HAWKINS VOTES AGAINST RAISE FOR N.Y. MAYOR New York City.—(ANP)—During the recent commotion over the vote of the board of aldermen to raise the salary of the mayor and his official staff, that of the mayor going from $25,000 to $40,000 per year, it is noteworthy that Alderman John Clifford Hawkins of the 21st Aldermanic District was the only dissenter so viting against the raise. Mr. Hawkins in emphatic and clear terms answered "No!" when his name was called on the resolution. The minority leader, a post rightfully belonging to Mr. Hawkins, but held by Roger Baldwin (white) of the "silk stocking" district, failed to vote. Mr. Moore, the colored alderman from the 19th Aldermanic District, voted "yes" with the Democrats. The final vote was 60 to 1 in favor of the raise. When questioned on his refusal to vote the mayor and the staff an increase, Mr. Hawkins said: "I don't see where it will do the mayor the most good for such a raise. There are hundreds of $1,200 a year clerks in the city who could stand a raise and I would not hesitate to vote for such a thing. A loaf of bread costs the poor man just as much as it costs the mayor." Mr. Hawkins has been criticized for some of his actions, but he was loudly praised for the stand he took on this matter.

FULLER Marshall, Texas, Dec. 28, 1925 Colored Teachers' Association of Tex at Fellow Teachers, Greetings: One month ago today in your State Teachers' Association assembled at Houston, Texas, you elected me to the position of an emerging upon every teacher in every section of our great state to be the greatest in its history. We can do this by united effort in encouraging education and pay membership fees, and when the place is selected by the executive committee for our next year's attendance in the history of the association, we chosen for the motto of our association, "Betterment, of Home, Church and School." The home is to teach the great lessons of life, plant life. Church is the haven of rest to the weary soul seeking the way, truth, the life; it is the gate to teach the great lessons of life, to ideals, purer life, and more unofficial hearts than have ever appeared before. The nation's laws of righteousness are to be written in the hearts of her citizens rather than on the statute books. Hope this thought may stimulate every one of us to lend assistance in which our people need no much help. No race can reach its highest development when either one of these demands Let us all "dend a hand!" May this year be for every one of you. I am. Sincerely you, FULLER.

The North family is the most well-known of the people of the Westworth family. THE WENTWORTH The Wentworth, Polly Wentworth, and Mrs. Wentworth, their widowed mother, The family is more aristocratic than wealthy. NIPPA—Another colored member of the Wentworth household, who has been a member of the family of the Wentworth household. The family has an uncannily clever understanding of the ruling white class and also possesses a naturally deep and unusually rich contralto value. The Wentworth are unable to pay Mamba, but Mamba is so devoted to the family that she is satisfied with her board and the opportunistic 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 into human nature enabled her to see latent ability even though he was the second creditable to the school system. Mamba alone understood Saint. HAGAR—Mamba's giant, muscular, slow-witted daughter, had an moderate liking for strong drink, much to Mamba's distress. Two and a large body. Mamba had said Hagar was "born for troubleless." The Wentworth was a man who had a good sense of the world. LIISS-A-Hagar's daughter, was the object of Mamba's sacrifice and the same way. "I can't remember to the Ginst Hagar's habits," Mamba leaves. When he was at the same time, he was always wealthy, incidentally more wealthy than aristocratic—in order that she may obtain more pay. She has a great job to obtain a five dollar a week job as storekeeper at the mines and begins a business career. One of Hagar's escapes leads her into a brawl with a Negro, her belthorn so no much severity that she is arrested and charged with murder. Hagar in given a two-year suspended sentence. Mamba sends her to Saint for a job at the mines. Hagar automates the mines by percussion in a Baster (befriends Bliton, a very much desplained militant, by carrying out the killings) and by calling "bored" by one of the frolickers. Under Hagar's suspended sentence, she was forbidden to come within the city limits and she barely escapes the season's most exclusive event among the white folks in the ball of the St. Coelonia society. The Atkinsones are elated over their invitation to invite Mr. Atkinson's pretty niece, Valerie, to attend as their guest. Mamba takes Lissa, who is now about ten years of age, to the village where she occurs which calls for Lissa's dissatisfaction with his position in the village and adds to the punishment of a Negro whom he knows to be innocent. The Reverend Thomas Grayson, a newcomer from New York, dissatisfies with his position in the village and comes to the village intention to help his people in other fields besides religion. He is immediately recognized as a rival of the Reverend Wendell. At church the Reverend Grayson notices Baster's (Hagar) fine central voice. In turn Haster is very much impressed with Reverend Wendell. He doubts the superstitious preachments of the Reverend Whale. Lissa, now seventen, has blossomed into a maden of exotic beauty. She has become identified with an intellectual group where her voice has been heard, and is from a Banna Baster—has attracted much attention. Lissa is now a member of Charleston's intelligentsia, where she is talented and well-versed in the violin. He is very talented and well-versed in the violin. Lisan is considerably disgusted with her lofty associates. One day she was in the house in the town of the city, and she had her niece and her Negro heritage, all her associates are trying their "damned" to be white. Whitman's amulator beauty and a tree flapper type, see Gania Whitman, the best Lisan, because of her refined nature, is rather afraid of Gardinia's overturns. Gardinia has asked Lissa to accompany her on a "wild" party. (Continued From Last Week) "I wonder," she whispered. "I am to take it into the old town where I'll be." "Oh, hell, don't wonder, come along. "Oh, what is going to happen to you? " I think I got to keep it. But the most of the time I've seen the most of the people I do well to be ready to pick you up and call it right. I guess I'll go. What I'll wear!" "I am a good man," she says, but she got to say, "I don't know you yet, and I say anything I found at the time." But I said that I don't trust her. But, believe me, it's got as of its own. "I am a freezier Gardinia had been a beczy, and I'm so good to be the next night, and she gave an involuntary start. She was standing out at the same time, and I am so so good to be the next night, and she gave an involvement of her thoughts. "I am a good man," she said. Saturday night and Lissa pacing away back and forth before the postman. "All day she had vacillated between an overwhelming desire to go." "I am very so well," she said. A fear that was neither superstitious, but both assailed her, making it long to be safe at home with Mammalia, and her crow crowd now and ran home? They were late, anyway, and that would then abruptly the moment of quiet silence. Then it had woken up the girl. Several automobiles approached the corner, and from the north a great double truck trolley hummed and rattled, then passed with a series of deafening noises. Two white men came out of the building, smoking and talking together. One glanced at her curiously in the half way. A SYNOPSIS (Continued From Last Week) "Oh, hell! don't come, come along. Nothin' anin gint' to happen that you put your hand on the desk by the office at half-past eighteen, and will be ready to pick you up and walk." "All right. I guess I'll go. 'What I wear.' I best get you, kid, and your dancin' shoes. And maybe you better not say anything you sound at the end of their stuff. But, believe me, it's got class of its own." The Gardiner hade Lisa a breezy fawny and left her on her way to with a chas of contending friends as an accompaniment through Saturday night sight Lisa facing slowly back and forth before the post office. All day she had vacillated behind an overwhelming desire to be prompted to the stay with Mamba. She had dressed with gambas and without telling her grandmother who she was going had been leaving the old woman's questions unanswered. She had arrived at the rendezvous ahead of time, for she had been standing several minutes earlier and high over her head momentarily. About her the streets were quiet, and high over her head melting. Drill still and the air singing. Lisa caught the faintly throbbing note and held it until the vast vibrancy of her corner on which the girl was waiting was one of the most beautiful and interesting From here he journeyed to Chicago, where he requested in a battle with a light horse named as Kinnieloe. In this light Jack was beaten by a horse underwood and for several of which he lost in the race. Nevertheless Jack always remained an ardent race horse. board laughter, and very distinctly, the words "high yellow." A moment he invoked and stop to before her, and she heard Gardin's hungry, voluptuous cries all-dressed up and bells on, on eLisa. "Good girl and my friend. This here's Charlie this is Lissa. No Mise and Mister in a gang. Hop in there with Slim H. Look him over and see if he look. Him look over and see if he get a class. Charlie "Hello, Lissa." from the driver's seat. Slim jumped on and shook hands. "Girl to know you, and you to know her to get in. Then they were set al. The machine seemed to crouch and then settled down into a brisk, steady gait. A couple on the front seat said no further attention to their companions but sat together talk in theattle of the vehicle. At first Lissa could think of nothing to say, and she slid her arm out at her well over on his side of the car that Lissa took advantage of the transient illumination to appraise her partner's hair. She was a sewing forehead, a bread flat nose, and a very large mouth, with a seeding forehead, a bread flat nose, and a very large mouth, and broke into a broad, friendly grin. She saw the whiteness of his teeth, and she was even laughing styly in her face. She was reassured and began to feel that there was nothing about him to make a girl afraid. Then the lights were on, and she broadgray band of concrete, plunged straight out between dense patches of broadgray band of concrete, plunged The car, like a wild creature that that whirls behind it and it trapped for the opposing Gardina's voice came back with the whirling wind to the silent, couple "Hey, there, you two—what do you want?" The girl matter with you. Slim, you don't hold that gal in—don't you know she's afraid?" Then encouraged, Slim allowed himself to be bounced over to Lissa's arm around her shoulder. For a moment the girl's body remained rigid. Then, she fell lower and closed firmly about her waist. A tremor shook the girl. Then arms and closed eyes. "Don't you worry, he #d in a low on the ceiling it won't 'go' to let you get thrown out." For half an hour the car drove steadily northward; then from the door rows of lights leaped out. Charlie jerked the machine hard over. It left the room and the door rows executed a series of jackhawk bounds and brought up short before the door rows of laughter, song, and instrument-tuning greeted them, shattering the new arrivals with a mood of wild galey. Slim waited with the girls while Charlie parked the car. The room and blackness of night warmed like a hive; couples came and went between the tawdry brilliance of the room and the blackness of night. The young bucks leuched near the door, smoking and passing a flask from Charlie rejoiled the party just as the music flung its unimaginable Rythmic Guitar toward the crowd, bowing their way through the press and entered the hall. The room was filled with the music that depended from the rafters and responded with an unstoppable motion between them. There were eight men in the orchestra and Lisa noted immediately with the color anobbery of all the full-blooded Negroes. There were seven men in the orchestra, cornnet, trumpet, and a man with drum and trumpet. The sound was unlucky anything that the girl had over the crowd, not recognizing it, not recognize the tune. As a matter of fact, it was not an orchestra in a mere collection, but a mere collection of eight individuals who had taken some simple melody as a theme and were creating rock music played. Her immediate sensation was one of shock at the crudes and almost unrecognizable sound, a strange excitement commoner moved her like this before. She had made her cry and it had shaken her hard, but this seemed to be a miracle. SA THE HOUSTON INFORMER. SATURDAY. JANUARY 4. 1930 Josh was now seventeen years of age and decided conclusively on a ring game when Creecon and Tummy Tracy, sprang in from Wakefield to Chicago. He was in Chicago, and there helped him to develop some of the power and skill that character- his moving game. within her—something that seethe hot through her veins and set her muscles jumping. The crowd came jamming into the room, black girls with short knappy hair, tall, long-limbed Negroes from the wharves, sailors from the navy yard, dark and heavy, with here and there the pallor and passivity of a Urpino. There were many men out the town to whom he themselves had the mark of the city on them in their straightened hair and well-made clothes. Slim caught Issa closely to him. His shyness had vanished, but to the girl that did not matter. The music snatched them up, and they were off into the thick of it. It is unlikely that anywhere else in America at that moment there were more and different steps being trout on a dance of the Tۈrr and fundamental roythen of the turkey trot prevailed, but the more sophisticated were dancing a one-step or fox trot. In a corner out of the jam a group of country Negroes were dancing singly. The dance was a strange, fascinating, and wildly individual affair. They stood two and two, facing each other, as though dancing in competition rather than together, and at basic airą constrict rising on alternate feet while the free leg was hurled outward and backward, knees touching, and toes turned in parrot fashion. Lissa made Slim stop with her to watch, and immediately the desire to dance it possessed her. Slim laughed. "Come along," he urged, pulling at her arm. "That's nothin' but a old country nigger dance." She would not listen. Presently she had the step and started in at the edge of the circle. When the music stopped she was angry. "Oh, I almost had it, Slim," she exclaimed. "One more try and I'll get it pat. Why did they have to stop just then?" Her partner led her out of doors, then slipped his arm around her and guided her toward the automobile, Gardinia and Charlie were there already, and when the four of them were together, Gardinia handed Lissa a flask. "Hit her up, sister," she invited. Lissa hesitated. "What's it—whisky?" “Sure—go ahead, ain't goin' do you no harm. The girl lifted the flash and took a swallow, with the result that she choked and coughed. Lisa matched the bottle back from her hand. You wasn't going to be languished. Ginni, that was certain. What a night life! With a red jacket and a white shirt, set it against. That new dance. Lisa must master that if she kicked the floor boards During an intermission, when they crowded to the door for air, a wicked, red dress grabbed Lisa by the floor and itself into the light and stopped. Gardina grabbed Lisa by the door to meet him. Hello, Prince, here a lady friend I want you to know. A new arrival, with evidently a favorite of the man run forward and crowded about the car. He got language, put his hand on the car, and left came forward and joined the girls. They met where the shafts of darkness and spilled out on the gravel. "Lisa, this is the Prince I been tellin' you about." Gardina introduce “Glad to know you,” he said, and took her hand, while he slid his glance over her in deliberate and frank appraisal. Then he raised his eyes to her face, and the grip on her fingers tightened. He gave a low whistle and, still gripping Lissa's hand, addressed Gardinia—“So on a class, baby; where'd you find her?” A shudder of repulsion started under the man's hot, moist clasp, flashed up the girl's arm, and communicated itself to her whole being. The man sensed it with evident satisfaction, his loose, sensuous lips parted, and he gave a low, confident laugh. He bent forward, and Lissa got an impression of a light muddy complexion, heavy-lided eyes, and a long scar across the forehead closed under the hair. Then air was heavy with its burning and danger; she felt her skin cheaply under it. And yet, in spite of the repulsion that she felt at his touch, there was a compelling power that drew her toward him and made her pulses race. She summoned all her strength and snatched her hand away. Prince laughed again and turned toward the hall. "Me an' you's goin' to be buddies," he said. "Come on in an' let's have a drink on it." His glance included Lissa's party in the invitation, and the four of them followed him across the hall to the THE B. MORRIS After some month in Chicago, Jack left his home in New York with a wading waist in Pittsburgh, with a T-shirt in a linen dress in a large, luxurious house. Also had bed in a large, luxurious house of having the sense of the light with his bed. gally decorated booth in the corner where soft drinks were being served. "What'll you take?" he asked largely. They made it "dopes," and when the glasses stood before them their host produced a silver flask and poured a generous drink in each tumbler. Charlie exclaimed. "Hot damn! Now, that's not a moonshine, forgot for Prince. Nuttin' but be her." Lissa noticed that Slim's bashfulness had descended upon him again and that he accepted the drink from Prince with reluctance. The music crashed out, smiting the air with the flat impact of a blow, causing the fluid in the glass to stool to be pumped to their glasses in culps. Prince drew his hand across his mouth and said, "All right girlie, let's go." Slim seemed to have suffered a sort of paralysis. When Lissa looked to wear him, he said nothing, but stood at her. He was now, mournful eyes. Prince put his arm around her, and she looked into his face with a shaken, reckless, little laugh. "I'm on," she said, and was snatched from the corner into the maelstrom of the disease floor. Prince turned three dances together. Prince looked older than the boys with whom they had come, but he could dance circles around them. Lisa was delighted to find that he was an expert in the step that she had just discovered, and she made him go. The driver, near the band and teach it to her. It was while they were there that the musicians broke into a medley of old jazz tunes, launching from their wild, syncopated improvisations into that early ragtime classic of the Johnson brothers "Under the Bamboo Tree. In Lima the music ceased to be a thing external apart. It became a fire in her body, taking her suddenly like a meeting flame about a sapling, cutting her off from the others, possessing her, swaying her irresistibly forward toward the players. She did not realize that she was singing until her gaze rested on the face of the leader and over his fiddle she saw the white flash of his grin in invitation and called, "Come up, as it's up. Up here's what you're blong." Then she was among the swaying bodies of the smashing harmonies of the band. Her muscles twitched to the rhythm, moving her feet and legs in the in-the-way way of the new dance, her arm were thrown wide with fingers snapping the time. She forgot that there would be a solo in church to-morrow and that her voice needed saving. She remembered nothing except the words and music that came in a rush out of an old forgotten memory, beating out from lungs and throat in a torrent of song: "If you like me I like you. I An' we like both the same, I'd like say this very day I'd like change your name . . ." On the floor couples were still dancing, whirling more wildly under the added excitement of the song. The drive of the music through the girl's wrought-in her for the first time the time of the previous quarto was so short as to give a gift of only the true artist. It seemed mysteriously to divide her into two separate entities, one which floated over the heads of the dancers through the wide doorway to go blundering, insequently about among the soft summons of the house. It was concerned only with beauty, with far, thrilling things—Mamba's love the harbor at dawn—Battery gardens under the summer moons—all of these things it must capture and prison in the music that she was making. The quest of seemed sudden—a great journey of the day. It lifted her to the point of exaltation that trembles on the brink of tears. Then there was the other part of her that followed her gaze here and there as was the dance floor, cool, deliberate, detached, arresting fire that one counselling was the first of the day. The first of the day was the first of the day and gaping where they stood. This Lissy was egotistical, supremely self-confident. "I will make them all stop and listen," it boasted. "I shall possess them all before I let them go." I can. I will. It was the personification of the life and self-rejuvenation there on the date, clad in close-fit-ting red silk, her sinuous body a fluid medium through which the maddening reiteration of the rhythm beat out to the listeners and forced them to respond, her voice with its deep, so that the spirit of the youth is shading the edges of laughs with a shadow of a sob. When the song ended the leader merged it without an appreciable break. The singer had choice was an inspiration. Lina had them all now. Out under the fluttering paper streamers the crowd stood behind her, while they held their eyes, fixed upon the singer, awaked their bodies unseen. She had made her bonnet. She had made her bonnet. She had made her bonnet. captured the last one. The new song with its devil-may-care note of triumph lifted over the weaving account paniment of the band and beat against the flimsy walls like a living thing. It said: "You are all mine—mine." It flung it at them arrogantly with a trace of indulgent contempt, then it wavered, softened, and said it again in a torrent of passionate gratitude and love. Her very own—her first audience. "Sing of joy, sing of bliss Home was never like this Yip I ady I ai . . . " With an intoxicating thunder of apluage singing in her ears, Lisa Jenna Charlie was waiting there for her, Prince could reach her and be helped up. She allowed a way for her through the stamping, shooting crowds. When they joined by Gardina, who flipped her arms about Lina in a bug that left her bound, she got her kit, "kid!" she asked in wonder. "Hawken know! I guess I was an admirer as you." Gardina her a second embrace, then turning to Charlie dismissed him with: "Ron along. I got here when he had抽出 of ear-scar he said to the girl: 'Look here, look here, look here, look here' that teller they call. Prince. Did he ask to drive you home?" "Yes, he did say something about it." "Well, I hope you told him no. After all, Slim's setup you it" got some rights coming to him. "All right." Lisa replied obediently. "I'll turn Princess down." "You don't, you're not sure," hardly "you go your heart over that nigger. He's free with head over that nigger. But the sky's his limb—watch your step. I aint so sure you're Now, me--that's a different mute." Lisa gave a confident laugh. "Don't you let that worry you, sister," she replied. "I am a pretty good man at taking care of myself." Charlie and Slim came up and joined them,. "All right," Gardinia warned, "just watch vqn. storm—that's all." Watch your step—that's all." I was well after midnight when the Lord of the Rings was on the ground to堂堂堂 road and headed south with the four revelers. Slim sat in his corner glum and silent. He evidently felt that he had been rather hardly used. Lissa made several attempts to draw him from the small, small life to the swinging exasperation. If he thought that was going to apologize and eat humble pie, he had another think coming. Her anger rose. He ought to thank his stars that she had even gone with him. He, in the number of the Reformed Church, found it to be Broadway, and did not need to worry. There was Prince, now, ready to show her a good time. The preposition of danger that she had felt toward him at first had abated until it had left only and still in the form of a small house. She smiled at the memory of Gardinia's warning. As if she couldn't take care of herself. No, she was out on her own now, and she didn't have to ask favors of anybody. "It's a lot of work, as you said, found Mamba sitting just as he had left her; the lamp was turned low, and the old woman was alouched deep in her big chair, her gaze fixed beyond the open window to where the late fragment of a moon was climbed. I was on the house and I was so scold as to be a girl had expected. Instead she turned her eyes, which had a slight film of weariness over them, in mute questioning toward the door. Issa exclaimed, 'Why, you ought to be a demeaned, Grandma, sitting up at this hour.' How come you didn't go to bed?' The old figure drew itself together in the chair and spoke. "Turn up at so so so Ah can see 'yo' an come! Lisa did as she was bidden, and took her hand drew her down upon her heels searching anxiously into her face. "You been drinkin', chille said. "You much, Grandma, just a couple." "Yo' ain't been bad?" The girl laughed and patted the old face lightly. "Life, Grandma. You aren't worry about me. I had a well time dancing, but I'm nobody's fool." "Well, go 'long to bed, an 'in de man' you got to call me all 'out'." "Sure thing," Lily replied, "but you need your sleep, you know. I got to take care of this old lady. I can't go along without a woman for a moment in her strong young arms, then got to her feet and commenced "No an'no use to say dat, chil'." Nightmares you gone out night, you'd do all de time you might need me, an 'Ahn nik'te to take off my clores till you get back home." ** Lisa brought Dinisin to meet the impatient home trepidation. She feared the impatient constant companion would make on the astute old woman. She thought in her mind if she had only her nik'te of the dress and the motor ride she became more frequent as the summer passed. But one Sunday after morning service the girls were walking together on the Battery and Gardinia came as far as the gate of the Atkinson garden. Suddenly she was seized by one of her characteristic impulses. "Say," she exclaimed, "I believe I'll go in and meet that old grandma of yours you're always talking about. She must be a rare old dame. I want to know her." Ther was nothing to be done but to accede, and after an imperceptible moment of hesitation Iess said, "Sure, come on in. I reckon she's in the room now." Gardinia's glance was busy as they passed through the well-kept garden and to the neat two-storied building in the rear, with the garage below, and a glimpse of clean white curtains showing in the windows above. "Pretty swell dump," she admired. "Pretty soft thing you've got here, I'll say." "Grandma," Iissa said on entering the room, "this is my friend, Gardinia; she wanted to meet you, so I brought her in." Mamba came forward and took the younger woman's hand. From their network of wrinkles the old eye linked morewardly into her face. Then she smiled, showing her big teeth. The Kira's been telling me as much about you," Gardinia explained, "that I just wanted to come in and get a quinted, Gussey you think I'm a full of friends for that highbrot goal of yours," he�. Mamba murmured asophthie when being glad to meet her. But as in an often the case with, first remarks, her words meant little or nothing, serving merely as a screen from behind which each of the women was explored by the�, the�al ego that lay secreted behind words, eyes, lips. Lias watching the man, realized that they liked each other. That in addition of the differences of age and outlook there was a hidden bond of intimacy to which they both responded. It mystified her. She was still too unknowing to recognize it as the sister of the muchsthe. It was soon think that he needed the word. Theo it was in each. In Mamba a thin school from an incredibly vanished past; in the girl, only yesterday, and perhaps again tomorrow but across the years it sent its spark of understanding. The Gussey was so so much as possible. The Strange to say, it was strenufied. It was a phase of their world, and it was a phase that belonged to the generous, the kind, as well as to the pony-grabbing, the depraved. Gardinia burst through the reserves that she had been wearing like a strait-jacket. She laughed, heartily and jangling into the old women. "I bet you have a gay one gourmet once," she said. "I'll bet you know him better than I tell you, tell him a big night—chmama1" Isaas was knocked. Mabba had a good respect. But to her, she had a proof. That was Mabba she was pleased. She answered with her surprisingly young, vital laugh: "Tings was different in down days, an' if Ah in broke loose don't do, don't nobody libin" to tell an me now. But nowadays, gals got to behaved. "Sure," Gardinia agreed, as she took a seat and let her admiring game take in the cozy and tastefully for, wished room, with the sunny garden showing beyond the window. "Sure and don't you worry about Lissa. If she'll just listen to me she'll have a good time and she won't get into no trouble." She looked around for her friend, but Lissa had gone into the next room to change from her. Shandong dress. At the same moment, I also noticed that they were alone and immediately took advantage of the opportunity. "Tell me," she begged in a lower voice, "who did yaler Arger? Lissa goin' roun' did? She won't tell me nuttin' bout um, but Ah's own is to'ther day when he come by for she an' Ah wouldn't true um for as Ah could know um." Mama leans forward and and stands confidently, 'Ah are for you, Stuart! She also nintt sent nintt, ob means, the dailer yeller "golden gown woman-china." "Don't you worry, Mama!" "Dinna, and reassuringly, "the girl is a girl, and she besides, one of them cool sisters, an danger of her losing him." All no aba is id yet do you an eye on she for me, no a fright breaks any time id me know. Ab is care ob my chillin'. "That's right, oh' lady, I just has youaint no fool. But there ain't goin' to be no trouble." Liese came in, and the three chatted for a few moments. Then Garciahlin took the departure, and the good girl friend, "Mama," said when the girl friend, Mama, said when the girl friend, just what the definition for good could be in Mama's lexicon. Labor Day—steaming and hot, with an opaque sky and a red sunburn, the room was filled with moisture steaming with condensed moisture and flinging reflections of houses, windows, and skies, in color, wonderful to see, and fag end, with its spent ardour the hind it, and autumn around the front of the Negroes to do but to be glad, to leave the wharves, the bakeries, the restaurants, and the furnaces, and tell the world how good a thing it is to be ally, to have labored, and now to chill a答应.

Here was a town that the writer tourists would recognize, "towns doomed for the day." It is the half-way pass. Its pavements swarming with noisy ragamuffin black children watching eagerly for the parades. Bands passing across street and the other people are on the street. Down on Broad Street the massed trombenes and horns of the Jenkins orphanage, arranging the offices of the morning News and Counter with the most good and good time to important, the paralyzed the editorial brain with the and traffic without. The parade, all of the unions in line. The dignity of labor might be well enough for the white brotherhoods, but among the other people, the public was finding it difficult to maintain the pose. Hand saw, carried over shoulders, flutted incongruously with colored ribbons, and hammers were so far in the same manner, and the same store, atthe end of white aprons and starched chefs' caps, bore soft a gigantic leaf of bread that was dressed for Mardi Gras. Bands kept the air breathing, and the sweaters of the second-hand, complete abandon. The afternoon would be an exodus to all the Negro parks and along the wharves several disciples of the same dearest clowners in the capital. For their sole fright. Lisa was awakened early by the launcher and talk in the street. For a few minutes she and through the morning home watch, she saw the sun rise and the purple of a date pool, fountain the day was from the day before, the air in the air, the water in the air.

By DR. WALDO J. HOWARD Houston Dentist One of the greatest blessings morphed into a person is one whose body functions are performed easily, without pain, discomfort, and pain. According to statistics, more than three million people in the United States have a few simple rules to follow. Yet a large percentage of this number might be spared by the proper observance of a few simple rules. It is further noted that approximately 60 percent of our patients are lost every year through the waste of preventable diseases, to say nothing of the loss of happiness and well-being on us. The proper observance of health habits is in life is a good one, yet it is never too late for these habits to be formed. We encourage our patients and religiously and well-addressed to the enjoyment of good health, sleep, exercise, mental and dental habits. John Quincy Adams was once asked by a venerable viginor in his old age, and he answered by saying that he followed three principles: greatness, clarity, and third, regularity." The regularity of our habits will determine greatly the condition of our health. "Toothfully speaking" is regularity, and also determine greatly whose teeth we will be wearing at the later age, as well as the effect on the general health. The federal, state and local governments spend thousands of dollars to provide health care for the family physician and dentist spend a quarter of their budget to teach health habits and protect you with your health. The family physician is placed on preventing an individual from getting sick, and the patient vent one from getting ill than it is to cure him after an isil.

The action of the United States Lawn Tennis Association, in harring the opponent in the national indoor tennis tournament conducted under its own rules, was a very unapportmanal color, was a very unapportmanal set and demonstrates once more the power of the court to show their racial prejudice. The executive officers of the associations with protests from leading organizations of sports, showing that there are many ways to prove of injecting the eternal "rars" into sports, whether an amateur superiority is not demonstrated by talk and the absolute reliance on compulsory rules, but on the other hand superiority is something which must be proven through the application, without regard to the color, creed or class of the participants and If the white youths, who are to take part in this tennis tourney, are superior to the two colored youths denied the right to participate in this athletic contest, the best way to show it is by meeting all competitors and winning their laurels on the court and not by some arbitrary and prejudicial act of the governing board of the national tennis association. Superior persons fear competition from no sources and they are more than willing to demonstrate their prowess against all comers.

While the crowd did not appear to equal that which witnessed the Atlanta University Prairie View tilt last year, it was a very cool game, and the devourers the football replayed amply by the brand of football replayed off by both teams. While Fisk's experience and smooth play stood out prominently, the Panthers put up a good game. It simply was too much Fisk, or shall we not say, too much Mel Wheedbe, flashy Bulldog quarter and field general, and Joe Wiggins, famous halfback. Exhibiting a series of trick plays, it when the teams reversed positions on the defensive, but literally the best, was greatest considerable down the field, as it for the air; for it was rather difficult to play the Tennessee were going to make when the center snapped the pikakin. Prairie View's fortune was a sweep, end run, which was used to negate the best, since the days of Rosebe Riddle, who was regarded as one of the greatest players in the field and was during his college days at Bishop. Not only was Wheedbe directing and managing the Panthers got within striking distance of the Bulldogs' goal, the ball he was in every play, leaping into the air once and intercepting the ball over a Fisk on a fourth field at the field above.

That young Yellow, Wheedle, is about the best and most brainy quarterback we saw last week in this section days of Fisk's training was regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks. Southern football only was Wheedle directing and genitalizing the team in a masterly manner, into the air once and intercepting the air once and scampling down a Barber pass and scampling down a second touchdown of theray. In the stiff arm, the only Barber in his wake, he executed a Paddock down stiff arm, while the stands cheer- Both teams suffered several penalties, Fisk being penalized several times for holding and getting off too fast, while Prairie View was punished once for holding and several times for being off-side. The game was free of squabbles and wrangling, and the players on both elevens demonstrated a mighty fine spirit of sportsmanship. No record of the game would be complete without mentioning the fine place. Dyes of Prairie View, tiasily quarter, and Williams, right tackle injured during the first half, Williams returned to the battle in the second half and played a bang-up game. And that Fort Worth lad, Prince, center and captain who is the son of Rev. S. R. Prince, well-known Baptist pastor of Pantherville, was outstanding on the defensive, often breaking through the primary defense of the Bulldogs and downing the ball carrier in his tracks. But class will tell in the long run and it told in Wednesday's game. The Panthers played well for a young, green team, but the better team was over a long time. It straight took ball, Prairie View made a fine showing but when it came to "inside stuff," the Panthers were just not there. The final touchdown came in the end, when the Rams dropped back and hurled a long forward kick, sending the arms of Robinson, Bulldog led, while a Rams stood supinely and permitted the plight to elude. The Rams were able to get there that there was no one on the other. Really, passes proved the undoing of the brothers, for two of the Bull- sons, who were engineered as results of passes.

After his arrest Strong claimed that he had eloped with Mrs. Mitchell years ago when she was a young debutante and he worked for her father, Dr. Richard F. B. Seamon.

The Wiley leader is a junior and most season will close his college career on the gridiron. During the past season Franklin came a star of the first class by using two important conference names for the Wildcats with long last-kicks. One of 39 yards against the Houston decided a 3-2 contest, while another of 47 yards was enough to send Bishop down to a 10-8 defeat in a game which gave the local school a third successive championship of the Texas conference. Besides being the most quick to be the teamboard, Franklin is one of the best guards in the coldest. The captain-elect hails the Fort Worth, Texas.

With her eyes closed and her alert spirit of guard, how different, how akrenkwen, old, she was, she was. She was. She was. Lisa wouldn't look at her like this. It made her feel suddenly and unprotruded—out of key with the wound, out of key with the wound would open its eye again, and then the person Lisa knew would be sure to see that nothing could hard The girl stretched lazily, got out of bed, and went to the window. Outside the lawn lay wet and sweet with dew. The sunlight was a faint pink now, and the shadows purple. It was going to be a hot day, a mild sea air moved the curtains and fanned her skin through her sheer nightdress. She conquered a sudden impulse to strip off the garment and yield her body to its seductiveness; to let its soft fingers stroke her breasts and follow the curves of hip and thigh. No, Mamba wouldn't like that. It was the sort of thing that she mustn't do. Well, she had a lot to be thankful for, more than most of the girls she knew. The Atkinsons were away at Flat Rock cooling their beels in the mountains for the month and had left Mamba to look after the house.

Mama had a way of worrying when she went to a dance, and she She came to herself and glanced around sharply. Had anyone she knew seen her? But what fun they did have! A sudden pang of envy assailed her. She wrenched herself out of the holiday mood and stemmed the tide in the direction of the Broaden home. Later, all through the eminently polite conversations, the excellently rendered music of the club, the artistic pronouncements of North, she kept seeing the face of the young Mason, and picturing him dancing on the deck of the excursion boat—eating watermelon and spitting seeds over the rail, grinning boldly at the girls. "Hello dare, Sistuh, what boat you join on this ebenin?" and his comical rueful face as she passed out of sight. During supper, Lissa was silent and preoccupied. Mamba studied her closely with anxiety showing in her keen old eyes. At last she asked, "Yo! go into our day, that 'nigger' Prince tonight," she said. "Yes, Grandma." "How come yo neber bring him to meet me like yo' done promise long ago?" "Oh, that's so—you did ask me to, way back in July. I've been meaning to bring him, but I keep forgetting," Mamba spoke sadly.

"You know what now—I know just where he begins and had a good talking tok and since then we haven't had any feeling—just a sense of being dressed, riding in the—that's all." Mamba told her. "I been half dark, but Ah could be woman-chaser write you know dem kid." The girl sprang up impulsively, ran around the table, flung herself into Mamba's lap, and gave her a hug. "Oh, quit worryin' Grandma," she begged. "I'm just as hard as nails, I tell you. I never saw a man yet who could keep me from coming back home to you. But I'm not an old woman—I've got to play a little bit—I've got to dance and cut loose now and then, and Prince is the swellest sport between Shayannah and Norfolk—and he sure can show a girl a time. Now, you leave him to me." Mamba said nothing more than only patting the head that was buried against her breast, as though she against her breast, and swaying a little in her chair, as though she were rocking a small child in her arms. But an hour later, when Lissa left the room attired in her red party frock, the old woman lock-stepped her down the stairs and out to the car that stood at the curb beyond the Atkinson's garden. She was going to have a look for herself. What she saw was a small, evil-looking scarlet roadster with two low seats side by side, and in one of them, with his legs extended indolently before him, a man who looked as though he had lived about forty years and had lived them hard. In the faint glow of a street lamp she could see that there were pouches under his eyes. The eyes were shadowed beneath the visor of a checked cap where they could tell no secrets, but when he turned toward Mamba she felt that they were laughing at her from their safe retreat. Lissa must have sensed it, too, for her body stiffened and she pushed defensively against the old woman. Mamba and Prince looked at each other for a moment of silence, then Mamba said: "Yo' been seen a lot ob my gal." She was answered by a low, confident laugh, and, "A lots a big word ole lady. Ah ain't seen nuttin of her yet." That the sinister implication of the reply was not lost on Mamba was evidenced by a tremor of the hand that she closed upon the side of the car as she leaned over and spoke directly into his face. NATIONAL MOTORS GROWING RAPIDLY; TURNER ON TOUR Nashville, Tenn.—The National Motors Assurance Association, beginning in Nashville, has met with gratifying success in about 30 cities in 7 states and the District of Columbia and is well on its determined course of organizing the colored automobile owners of America for fraternal fellowship, mutual helpfulness, economies and conveniences. With slightly more than a year of existence, the organization boasts of a campus that is being rapidly augmented through well conducted campaign materials, which is being rapidly augmented through well conducted campaign materials.

EIGHTH REGIMENT LOSES BATTALION BY ARMY'S ORDERS Chicago, IL—(ANP)—The Eighth Regiment, Illinois National Guard Command, comprised companies K, Quincy, M, Peoria, I; L, Jackoville, I; and headquarters company, Chicago. The L and I were mucked out in the war when, according to reports, they at federal inspection. The units were among the crack units of the regiment and some concession has been caused by damage. The only explanation thus far given by the militia bureau of the United States Army, which ordered their removal, is that the police, Col. Spencer Dickerson says that he hopes to reorganize the company after spring after the coming federal inspection. There is one automobile for every 438 persons in Texas, figuring on the year with one month estimated. A new industry at San Saba is the shipping of mussel shells to a Kansas Pearl button factory. The shells are shipped to the company. The owners who clear the shells by cooking them in a vat found a number of shells in the glass of a single one bringing $7 to $8 each.

Lesson for January 5 THE CHILDHOOD OF JESUS LEGON TEXT-Matthew 11-12:28 LEGON MAIL 12(1-11) GOLDEN TEXT—Thou shalt call His name Jesus for He shall save His people from their sin PRIMARY TOPIC—God's Care of Jesus When a Child. JUNIOR TOPIC—God's Care of Jesus When a Child INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How the Child-King Was Received, YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOFIC—Childhood of the Savior-King. The central theme of Matthew is Jesus Christ the King, the fulfiller of the Mehanic hope. In harmony with this pre-eminent theme, Matthew first deals with the all important question of His genealogy, for His right to occupy the throne of David must be established. The royal covenant was made to David (II Sam. 7:8-16, cf. Acts 2:30-82). In harmony with this, the first verse of Matthew's record constitutes a key to the book. 1. The Birth of Jesus, the King (1:18-25). 1. The Savior was to be the seed of a woman (Gen. 3:15), the son of a virgin (Is. 7:14). This was fulfilled in the birth of Jesus. The genealogy (Matt. 1:1-17) shows His legal right to the throne, but something more is required in order to be the Savior from sin. He must be both human and divine (Id. 9:7). The Savior was beggotted by the Holy Ghost and born to the Virgin Mary, thus becoming immanent, which in its fullness means, "God with us, God for us, and God in us." 11. The Childhood of Jesus, the King (2:1-23). 1. Wise men from the East seeking Israel's King (vv. 1.2). The King's reception was most heartless. His own nation received Him not. His advent was heralded by the words of the prophet in the book of seek and worship Him, pouring out their gifts to Him. These men were Permanian or Arabian astrologers—students or the stars. Their attention was on the man who was an unusual star. Through the influence of the Jews who remained in Childle, or the direct influence of Daniel extended to this time, they would have with great hope as to the Messiah. 2. Herod seeking to till the King (vv. 8-18, 18-38). 3. By the wise man stern torture to Herod's heart. He was not alone in this, for all Herodians was troubled with him. The news of glimpses at the social customs in and about Jerusalem of that day can be to us understand why this news was so important. We were living in the greatest luxury. Fine dress, sumptuous feasts. The Jews were in the temple. Immortalities. This is why Herod and Jerusalem were troubled. A Saviour who would have taken them from their land would continue in them. Herod demanded of the priests and scribes information as to what they fact that they were able to tell him so promptly show that they had a technical knowledge of the Scriptures. We would continue forth therein. We face similar conditions today. This all occurred in the time of all places where he should have been welcome. When the wise man returned to their country by an army of children two years of age and under in Bethesda and its coasts. 4. The King found by the wise man (vv. The wise man having obtained the desired information, started immediately left the city, the star is at guilded them in the East, appeared again to lead them from the sky, but the dwellings of the city no doubt shut out the sight of it. Frequently, spiritual vision is observed, and the King protected the eye (v. 19-28). **4. The King protected** (v. 19-28). **1. Flight to Egypt** (v. 19-18). **2. escape Heroa's wicked aim, set on the path of the child Jesus and free to Egypt.** In obedience to the heavenly vision, he went and remained there till Heroa's return. **2.

By divine direction, he returned to Gallilee and dwell at Narnara. Kind Words Kind words can never die because they are expressions of God's love.

Washington Co., Inc., 400-411 Smith Street, Houston, Texas ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE DEAL AFTERWARDS. NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS.—BOOSEVELT. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1930 PYTHIAN LEADER ON DEFENSIVE In his recent open letter to Sir S. W. Green of New Orleans, Soulsburg, supreme chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, Sir B. Robert B. Carr, grand chancellor of the Pythian jurisdiction of Ohio, laid down a box barrage from which the titular head of the order will find it quite difficult to extricate himself or escape its deadly and damaging fusillade. In his open letter of November 11, 1929, Supreme Chancellor Green made several contradictory statements, according to Mr. Carr; chief of which was the assertion in one place that the Pythian Bath House and Santilarium at Hot Springs, Arkansas, would be a revenue producer and that "certificates as of stock would be entitled to whatever dividends that may be declared from the income" of this national building project of the order, and the declaration in another place that "the Pythian Bath House and Santilarium was not expected to be a paying investment." In his putative, Mr. Carr wrote for the following argument: "The supreme lodge certainly would not have obligated itself by laws and rules to declare and to pay dividends out of the income of the bath house if it had not expected therefrom some profit." The Ohio fraternal leader charges that Mr. Green included the sum of $89,697.54 as "cash assets," when the sum represents the supreme lodge—money owed the supreme lodge by grand lodge and money owed the supreme lodge. (This money did not been collected at the time Mr. Carr wrote his latest open letter to Mr. Green.) Other inaccuracies were exposed in Mr. Green's biennial report and more recent letter to Mr. Barcus, which figures failed to coincide with the biennial report of the supreme master of cadetries. Any school child knows that bills receivable (money owed a quercus) can not be listed legitimately as "cash assets!" The substantiate his contentions, Mr. Barcus quotes at length from the official record and then hurts a deft at Mr. Green anent the misapplication and diversion of Temple Tax funds for the neediness of eterna. The redemptible Ohio even challenges Mr. Green, "to deny the accuracy and correctness of this statement," adding that he (Barcus) was "prepared within 24 hours, not only to give the number of the vouchers, but the date of each voucher which was issued in your (Green)'s) favor and upon your order for these vast sums of money." Going a bit further, Mr. Barcus upraids Mr. Green for "acting as a bully or fraternal tyrant by using a club and forcing your creditors to lend the national organization more money to invest in the record a letter from a construction company Chicago, which erected the national building in the Widy City, Mr. Barcus avens that said communication to Mr. Green discloses the "solvency of the national organization." Answering the "dig" taken at him by the supreme chancellor for alleged "manipulation of figures", Mr. Barcus retorts by saying that "If you were as good on making actual cash assets" out of "uncollected Pythian taxes" and "uncollected deferred accrued interest" due on such "uncollected Pythian Temple taxes", as well as "uncollected Pythian taxes" in the hands of the master of supreme auction, July 1, 1928, you would have been hailed and proclaimed long since as the "sighth wonder of the world!" In common parlance, it appears as if Mr. Barcus has not left Mr. Green any leg upon which to stand and defend himself, and the Informer is amused to see what the supreme chancellor will have to say in reply to the latest Barcus epistle. However, it strikes The Informer that Mr. Green will do well to confirm from the listing lines calculated to save the nation's finances from the loss of the model method of playing a losing game in his writing controversy with various members of the order throughout the Pythian jurisdiction. Selah! AMERICAN HYPROCISY EXPOSED In his notable speech before the United States congress, last month, Congressman Oscar DePriest of Illinois, speaking in support of a congressional measure to empower the president to appoint a commission to probe conditions in Haiti and the inclusion of a Negro as a member, expressed the desire to see the government significant such interest in the welfare and development of Haitian Americans as that shown in the plight of the Haitians. None of the congressman had contended that the citizens of Haiti would exercise the right of self-government and self-deterration which evoked from the colored solen the caste reminders of American citizens do not yet enjoy this alienitarian right. In his speech, Mr. DePriest is quoted as saying: "I con- sider the Democrat for starting in right in Haiti and con- ceding the common people the right to self-determination, and I hope it will spread to every state in America, and that we will all enjoy the same rights and privileges." In the passage of the bill in the lower house of congress many Democratic solons from the South voted in favor of the commission, whereupon they were commended by Mr. D'Friest as follo- wers. The bill was passed by the house converted to the right way of thinking for once in their lives, because I appreciate the condition of black Americans who are denied the right of self-determination in almost every state south of the Mason-Dixon line." Thus, with one fell stroke, the colored congressman exposed the sham and hypocrisy of America, which seems to forget that charac- teristics of the American people are denied the right of self-determination in almost every state south of the Mason-Dixon line." Uncle Sam often reminds one of the devout "samen corner" sister, who is always manifesting such interest in other people's children and shedding crocodile tears for "lost souls," while her own children are going to the demission bowwows, or headed for that torrish clime presided over by his satanic majesty. Perhaps if America would look after her own household more and more, the American citizenz enjoy and exercise their inherent and constitutive rights she should hold in a better affairs of other countries. Some of us can recall rather faintly that the late President Wilson led this country into a world struggle to "make the world safe for democracy," when our first efforts in this direction were to protect the rights she should hold in a better affairs of other countries where autocracy, mobocracy and oligarchy hold undisputed sway and where democracy is as dead as the extinct dodo. America will never be a democracy in reality as long as race prejudice and class distinctions crowd out and stifle the spirit of fair play, equality, justice and the right of the people to self-determination. Because of the urgent need of a general internal house-cleaning, America does not seem to be qualified to serve in the role of administering and ruling foreign peoples; and the military occupation of Haiti should be brought to a speedy and sure termination. Just like American dollars forced this country's entry into the World War, the vested interests appear to be wielding the same cloven hand in the Haitian situation; and a thorough and impartial investigation should be conducted and the findings made public, placing the blame and responsibility where they rightfully belong. ENTERING THE COMMERCIAL FIELD During the past year several complaints came to The Informer that some of the local stores, most particularly those which moved into new and more luxurious quarters during 1929, had changed their policy toward colored customers; and that on numerous occasions colored customers were told, point-blank, that the store was not catering to Negroes any more. Some of our informants thought that we should "write up" such stores, adding that they were delighted to receive colored patronage as long as they were small stores and located near the downtown "black belt," but now that these mercantile establishments owned and operated by members of other races, are trying to run in "fast company," they are showing their ingratitude and racial rancor by either ignoring or insulting colored persons who seek to patronize said stores. Why, the Negro has been serving in the snake-fattening role so long and he is so incapable, racially speaking, of being insulted and showing resentment therefore, that it is simply taken for granted that the black race is to be regarded and treated as a human football or footstool. By what course of reasoning should Negroes become angered and filled with wrath merely because some store owner does not desire to share the race's patronage any longer? If we would spend as much time trying to build up and fortify our own race as we have been doing from time immemorial in strengthening and solidifying other racial groups, we would not be the recipients of such acts of ingratitude, discourtesy and insult! Most, if not all, stores are privately owned and it is within the province of the owners to promulgate and enforce a policy to their own liking; and if erstwhile or prospective customers do not subscribe to such a policy, then the customers have the same right to take ownership of their business to take care of their own needs, or do without such articles. Some Negroes would rather have back-door slop from some dinky eating house operated by members of other racial groups, than to enter the front door of their own cafes and order and enjoy a far more decent meal than they can ever hope to obtain in the former place. There is very little sentiment in business and it seems that the customers in most of our American cities, especially the cities with large black population, have entered into an agreement to designate which stores Negroes shall patronize and which stores will place the ban on Negro trade. Instead of meeting this situation in the same manner that characterized the action of the race along certain business and professional lines, our people are too busy lamenting the fact that this or that store does not desire Negro trade any more. The fact that Negroes are not operated by persons not identified with the black race, began to segregate and insult colored women, two modern and well-appointed colored millinery shops were opened here by members of the race, and both of them are doing a nice business; but they have not begun to skim the surface yet in the volume of business they should receive from their own racial contingent. More than 60,000 Negroes in this city, Houston Negroes should own and operate every line of business for which the race has a need. One of our 1930 resolutions should be to organize and operate a department store in this city, where our various needs and wants can be taken care of without any insult or humiliation be ingapped upon our wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, sweethearts, and friends. We must understand, and protestations, which are not backed up by some type of performance, accomplish very little in the cold realm of business and commerce. With the reputed intelligence and mass wealth of the race here, it is a serious reflection upon us that we have not embarked, on a larger scale, upon the mercantile and commercial waters; for the business of the race is not a swapping, begging, and pleading with other races to permit them spend our hard-earned coin with the realm and in their stores. Here is a splendid opportunity for the Houston Business Men's Club to do a piece of constructive work which will be far-reaching and salutary in its effect, and which will do much to start the race on a course destined to make the race an actual, as well as potential, factor in the economic life of this city, state and nation. The situation has reached the point where we must either put up or shut up and continue to be insulted and humiliated. OPINIONS Cimbee's Ramblings THE NEGRO IN EUROPE Mr. Robert S. Abbott, the fearless editor of the Chicago Defender, widely healed his courteous treatment and standing might ordinarily expect. On reaching London, where his name and fame had preceded him, he was turned down by the London hospital, where he lived his home city of Chicago. Usharehadged Negro tourists without chip on shoulder, and after a refurbish of the Chicago editor, suffered no inability in the hostelies of the British Mr. J. A. Rogers has just returned ed from an extended journalistic tour of Europe. He has visited most of the countries of that continent, with an eye keen to the presence and placement of the Negro. Reports have been made to the weekly Negro press and the Negro Press to describe the vive and enlightened view yet vouchsafed on that subject. It is to be hoped that he will embody his observations and experiences in the more permanent form of a published volume. Some years ago Dr. Booker T. Washington visited Europe for the Outlook Magazine to study the relations between the United States and the European peasant. "The Man Farthest Down" embodies the result of his observations and reflections. Jin lack daw do tuther days, Krimman dun cum an jint wan, an jint wan, and mayby er lill harder.

As a competitive worker he is barred from Europe by preoccupation; from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Canada. He is not a native of Mexico and Brazil exclude him. The future of the Afro-American is in American Mr. Rogers has, with great research and paints, pointed out more or less eminent Negroes who have functioned in varied ways during the past two centuries in the tails of Europe. All of these instances have been lost without trace, after two thousand years of incidental and desultory contact. The Negro has made no abiding impression upon white people, and impressed impression upon him. Europe and Africa stand today facing each other as if not a single Negro had ever transferred from the black to the white continent. After twenty centuries, the Negro absorbed by four million million whites, but they furnish no hint of the solution of the problems of ten million Afro-Americans nor for any other considerable group of Negroes aboard on the faces of the earth.

SCHUILER Special Contributor, New York City Judging by the general indifference of Negroes toward the efforts of such organization as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, we must take the vast majority of our people do not appreciate the value of proaganda. Some of the intellectuaries who come to know better actually answer that question. M. Rogers is disposed to make much of the incidental fact that these Negroes have been absorbed which he furnishes a key to the solution, seemingly easily ingenuously the element of time required to absorb any considerable body of diverse peoples. Two thousand years would indeed be a short time to annaligation ten million years, and would require like time to annaligate ten million Chinamen in England or Germany. Mr. Rogers seems to be beguiled by the ignis fatus of annaligation, and demands devotion to be wished. Now, while all organizations and the work they do ought to be tamily, the criticism is that they are all times. I must confess that most of the criticism I hear from Negroes concerning this propaganda in their work is that it is of it is concerned with personalities and with pointing out that propaganda has not yet exceeded in ushering the nation into a new era.

Propaganda is nothing more than a message to your side, so that public opinion will be favourable inclined to support your side, or propaganda ranging from the actions of state, church and school to the actions of newspapers and magazines appearing in newspapers and magazines advocating the purpose of this that article or comedian. Mr. Rogers, agrees wholly with Booker T. Washington in the view that the American Negro need not look for a placement in the industrial and economic life of Europe. This proposition is so self-evident that it is the most thickly populated continent on the globe. It is the shade of the white race, the most dynamic and progressive of all of the children of man. They find their confines too small for their own bread and during the past they have been over the borders into the lands of the lesser breeds in all parts of the globe. There has been no European immigration for there has been room for none. By reason of his arrogance and dominating spirit, the white man has been made to do his rough and heavy work. He will neither combine with darker and weaker workers nor permit them to compete with him. The addition to tolerated has been that of slavery or industrial subordination. The idea of any considerable effort to themselves upon the industrial life of any country in Europe is simply unthinkable. The battle for bread of conflict. France, England, Germany or Italy would not dream of permitting any sizeable number of non-white people to bread in their home territory. For propaganda to be effective it must be in which information is disseminated. Since most people get their first news from newspapers, the efficient propaganda agency must make contact with the news agencies in services in the United States. If your propaganda agency does not have the necessary papers and news agencies, most of the submitted material will be thrown into the waste basket as soon as you receive it.

Again, if your cause is to get into intelligent editorial comment in the hundreds of newspapers in the United States, it must not be a fly-by night affair. Releases must have been sent in at regular intervals over a long period of time or to create a more various editor of the general accuracy and honesty of the source from which it emanates. All of this requires an established organization staffed by competent of, officials who have facts and not theories to work on. Newspapers and press services do not want theories and assumptions, but unless they get accurate information, they comment your cause will be reliably, colored by theories and assumptions. If we do not present the facts as we see them, then our enemies will present the facts as they see them. Our enemies may point to the fact that the percentage of Negroes in faith is out of all proportion to the percentage of Negroes in the population. This remains for us to point out that it is not due to any of the great centrality on the part of the Negro but rather to the fact that he constitutes, generally speaking, the lowest economic group in the community and when brought to court is faced with judges, district attorneys and jury men who are in the main prejudiced age in his cause of his color. In this instance both side and present ed facts, but see what a different conclusion is reached when you point out the facts as the Negro sees them!

An dat $10 in er savin bank is wuth fer mo' den $20 on yo back. An dat er clean shiny soul full uv de cleenest uv thoughts, is mutch ter be feered den brite shinin sheos dat cos mayby $18. Negro travelers and soujourners in Europe are apt to be carried away by the ordinary courtyard which every hospitable people extend to strangers. When an Afro-American receiver on a tour of Europe is no helpened by the contrast with his treatment at home that he too often mistakes formal courtesy for fondness. Because France or Italy treat a negro tourist without hibernation does not imply that they are not foreigners or follow countryman. Tolerance for the exceptional man does not mean acceptance of the multitude. It seems to me that our European tourists make a grave mistake in overdramming their courtese reception and taking their foreign reception with their treatment received at home. It all helps to convince the foreign hosts that the Negro's home treatment is the kind he expects. A gentleman never hosts of ordinary civilians or soldiers. He takes them for granted. No group, business or enterprise in modern life can get very far with a single person. That almost every concern and organization bureau. Some public relations companies get forging favorable publicity for great corporations. Surely, a group of people who are not afraid of warfare and progress depends to a large extent on what a group of 100,000 people can cough to append them as much as possible by the N. A. C.
