SOME COMMON-SENSE TALK
According to news items in the daily newspapers, two Negro institutions will be beneficiaries of the Conrad Hubert's fortune, which he bequeathed to worthy causes and agencies, further stipulating in his will that the committee to make the awards should be composed of one Catholic, one Protestant and one Jew.
The three respective members of the awarding committee were ex-Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, ex-President Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts and Julius Rosenwald of Chicago.
The two racial institutions, which will be assisted by this fund, are Provident Hospital at Chicago, $890,000, and Howard University Medical School, Washington, D. C., $300,000, make a total of nearly three-quarters of a million dollars for purely racial causes.
It is very significant that both awards were made toward Negro medical centers, which action seems to indicate that there is a definite movement afoot to strengthen and improve Negro medical schools and health centers.
The American Negro's economic because it is the vast room for much work and field of immovable the Negro's health department of immovable the Negro's health department, which is in the midst of a $3,000,000 drive and the medial haze that the most outstanding school for Negro education in the United States.
With so many paints disregarding the highway traffic ordinance and the most strenuous drivers of automobiles to bring their cars to a complete stair at某处 designated stair intersection, the House of Representatives dispatches traffic offers to some of these intersections and surveys on peak hours. It is a practical practice for going north and north on such streets as Milwaukee throughfare, to dash with much speed across and over the "stown" of Grave Avenue; and many collions are barely avoided by the quick cars of the drive.
Aprons of this situation, it might be written on the ground should be placed with markers which are visible often on or past this sign written on the pavement at night before he traffic ordinance.
The city council will do well to pro-
tect the boulevard system is in effect, for the present manner of designating and building a police force, which inadepte and adds to the danger of automotive accidents.
Through an unintentional oversight, we forget to include another very important public in this column last week. The museum is referring to a lovely chocolate cake, baked and presented to ye ascribe by Miss Lissida Smith, a teacher at the School, and an excellent cake baker.
To this saintend lady have we remembered thanks for this kindly remember. We were remembered also during the ululetide season by Hawwood Smith, a teacher at the Houston-Sharvey report division and the Colleague-Taylor Guild Club — Mrs. P. O. Smith.
Brew Hawwood came by during the ululetide season, also a token for which we are grateful.
O. P. DeWalt, manager-proprietor of the Lincoln Theatre, rated as the finest some, very fine comedians talk to his patrons and the Negro fries some, very fine comedians come to time in his theatre.
The latest to attract our attention each something like this: "The people in the country are too proud to go back to places where they were born." Here is much food for thought on the part of thousands of Negroes in the country, particularly the South. No race will ever amount to much and the other great races of the earth, that can be compared to how to learn an English too. We confuse doolity with humility, for while the Holy Writ declares that the musk shall inherit the earth, the doolity word about the doolie ever concludes (Continued on Editorial Page)

EXPIRES AFTER
LONG ILLNESS
A.
JOHN H. HARMON, Sr.
After a severe illness extending over several months, John H. Harmon, Sr., prominent Houston dry goods merchant, passed away at his home, 401 Reinermann, Wednesday morning. Members of the immediate family were at his bedside when the end came.
The demise of Mr. Harmon removes from the business, religious and fraternal ranks one of the race's most notable characters, who migrated to Houston from Pensacola, Florida, in his youth and later embarked in the dry goods business on San Felipe.
In his early days in this city, Mr. Harmon attended Houston College, doing odd chores as a means of realizing funds with which to pursue his educational training. Having had some experience in his native state as a drug clerk, his first major employment was with the defunct Bayou City Drug Store, formerly located at 411 Millam.
Sensing the need of a ward or neighborhood store to take care of the dry good and notion needs of his people, Mr. Harmon opened a store in the Fourth Ward and, despite the fact that many predicted the emporium's early death and burial, he lived to see the business develop from a mere "hole-in-the-wall" effort to a modern and well-appointed mercantile establishment.
After operating his store in one of the earliest last year and the store's name changed from Harmon's Dry Good Company entered last year and the store's name changed from Harmon's Dry Good Company, J. H. Harmon, Jr., graduate of Howard and Columbia universities, as the first assistant. He also active in church and lodge circles, having served as deacon and counsel over several years and having held many responsible positions. He invested his surplus earnings in Houston real estate and was the owner of other rent houses and other realty holdings. The fennal will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Saturday), 2 i.m., with Pastor J. B. Burdette officiating, assisted by other company members. The Company has charge of the body.

YOUTH HELD FOR
SISTERS' MURDER
Columbia, S. O. (CAN)—Corry Howell, 15, was held by the R·chand County grand jury here Tuesday morning, half small-sisters, Alna and 11, and May 9, who died here the day after Christmas from a single shot fired from Corry's gun. He maintained that the shooting was accidental and that he did not fire. The statement was an follows: "I was hunting at a half mile from home. I had three dogs but did not shoot the gun by the chinmey and then I pointed the gun at the chinmey and then I know there was a shell in it. I then pulled the trigger and both of them shot. I knew there was a shell in the branch and then went in the branch and camp where Questioning brought out that Corry Christmas morning because he did not shoot, had recalled, and but I knew the step-father did that at many occasions and frequently made trouble. The two girls were shot as they were in water. Alna shot in the heart and breast will May was struck in the
Nordic Hoodlums Destroy Property In Carolina Town
Edenton, N. C.—(ANP)—Because the owners of the building refused to elect their colored tenant, a mob of white men wrecked the building and restaurant operated by Tom Holley. The building and restaurant were Bank and Hanky foretore had been used as a branch office of the Regentia. The place was rented to Holley and he opened up a cafe. Immediately upon the opening of the business Holley was notified by "unidentified parties" to move and move quickly. He disregarded the notice and told the landlord of the warning. The building was raided by the officials, stating that if the Negro was not evicted the building would be wrecked. The officials were on the verge of making a formal complaint to the police when they received word that the building had been badly damaged by a group of white men who raided the cafe Saturday morning. Officers are investigating the affair but little results are hoped for. Holley was the only Negro in the hamlet who operated any kind of business and it is believed that this had as much to do with the wrecking as the sentiment against a Negro occupying the building. The Negro's residence was located in the section known as Small's Crossing in which Negro and white farmers congregated largely on Saturdays.

If this is done, it will also give colored drivers an opportunity at the big hotels of the city where they are now barred on account of the Yellow Cab concessions. It will also open the gates at the Pennsylvania Station, Grand Central Terminal, and the many steamboat lines operating in and around New York.
Already, Paramount drivers, anticipating the drive against the Yellow Cab Company, are crashing these hitherto forbidden stands and stealing passengers. To compete with the Yellow Cab operators, the Paramount people have decided to increase their fleet of taxicabs from 800, to the present number, to 2,000. They are doing this at a rate of 30 to 40 new cabs a day, retiring old cabs at the same time.

But thanks to his, this haplah, condition does not exist in our environment. However, we still have a few impressions. After finishing a dental course from a reputable college (such curricula, and study) the individual must pass a board of dental examiners, in the course of which he is able to practice his profession. he be able to practice his profession in another state or state, he must pass the board of dental examiners an art or a science or profession. It is through these stages that dentistry now loses its name as a trade. The dentist goes further than the dentist, to teach tooth as some of us may sometimes think he is only capable of doing. He has gained through at least two of his studies in a scientific study while practicing his profession, he is readily able to find a employed or extracted
This information is needed by him to combat further occurrence of the condition or to trace the ill effect on the general health.
The dentist is supposed to instruct his patients in the proper care of the teeth and, in fact, to answer any
questions that might be asked by patients for the protection of the teeth (and all dentists will do as if the patient only asks). that the patient owes the dentist, and that is the proper observance of the instructions as given by the dentist. that the patient urges to remember that the dentist is human and subject to err as is human.

NEGRO COMPANY
PAYS DIVIDENDS;
THOMAS AT HEAD
Mukegue, Oklaham—(ANP) The Simmons Royal Company, Inc., will celebrate its second anniversary by paying a cash dividend to stockholders. The fact that the company is in the process of dividing time favors it with two unique distinctions. It is the only corporation in the world managed and controlled by Negroes, which is organized for the benefit of the community. It is one of the very few concerns that has been able to declare a cash dividend out of profits on its common stock in a period of two years. The company was organized in September 1982, and its capital stock of $100,000 it did not, however, begin actual operation until January, 1982, since that time it has had a remarkable growth. It has at the present time outstanding, issued, and outstanding shares in the aggregate value of $20,150.
It has producing royalty income holdings in the Earlabroir fields of Seminole County, the Ather Pool of Lake County, the Field of Creek County, the Begg field of Olmquene County, and an interest in more than 700 acres of unproductive royalty in potential oil fields scattered throughout the state, which include the field of Olmquene more than $20,000. The gross earnings of the company for the fiscal year 1929, will exceed $10,000. It upon the basis of this sound state management of the company that a 10% cash dividend was paid. The Simmons Royale Company are men of unquestionable integrity, and business acumen, who only the confidence and trust of Thomas, the president, is a man of confidence in oil holding in Texas and Oklahoma, and McKinsey County. He has gained an enviable knowledge of investments and connections with oil royalty companies.
For the season to Dec. 8, 1928, South Texas shipped 1210 cars of oil to Texas, 1246 cars in 1929, it shipped 7,747 cars. Even wider difference was shown in the shipments for the respective weeks, with 246 cars in 28 against 267 in 20.

Praises Informer Editorial Policy
Editor Houston Informer:
I take this method of commending your paper for its splendid editorials, during the year of 1920, and more especially the editorials for the world press, for the publication of the splendid triplicity of churches. I suspected your editorial to coincide with: "How can I give a song about, 'You can hab awl daw art,' but give me lengtle', while an old song all takes the world and gives us hell." The remedy I would suggest, for the maintenance and operating expense, is a merger or a consolidation of two churches, or a merger of membership formed in this manner the church could easily pay a pastor for giving the people instructive as well as constructive gospel for living as a church member.
As you have said, we have too many churches. I am saying we have the preschoolers, trying to lead the people on Sunday and mopping and begging and taking care of the banks during the weeks for funds. I think this practice is a disgrace to the profession of a minister who is not a member of the members who are above such practice and who are not in the profession and dignity of their profession. I have always admired your initiative, as some people can, but as many cannot, "gut" that so many of our journalists don't have. May you continue to the future as you have in the past.
With best wishes for health

WILEY ASSERTS
FISK FAILED TO
SIGN CONTRACT
Marshall, Teresa, Jan. 3, 1930.
Eduton Horton Informer:
I noticed in the January 1 issue of *Houston Times* a dispatch an article of that day that stated that Pink would not guarantee transportation expenses for 18 men and the coach from it appear necessary to a story of the Flik-Parkle View game.
I want to make it clear to the public that we do not rate attempt of someone to beltle Wiley before the football world, nor advertise the Flik-Parkle View game.
In order that the public will not be charged such cheap, untrue publicity, I want to explain why the Flik-Wiley game just explain why the Flik-Wiley game not played. On September 9, 1929, we with us calling for a football game in Marshall on November 25, 1930, pending date in Nashville for, 1930, which included, among other terms, a 25 men from Nashville to Marshall and return and 2300 for incidental 25 men from Nashville to Marshall and signed by the pres dent and athletic directors of each institution, and authorized $1,400 for the breach of contract.
This contract was signed by Dr. Robert H. Miller, an envelope that carried our return address. The letter has been returned and the contract carried on a cover with one or more copies, one to be retained by Fik and the other to be signed by the plaintiff. The contract returned and returned to us. Fik has never returned that contract signed or un-signed, and that some changes be made in the contract. Whatever courtesy was extended Fik in Marshall, would be given us on our return. I wrote Coach Johnson asking that they sign the contract so that we could have the first communication we had from him on Nov. 16, when he wired us with the contract, with the terms of the original contract. With only a week to advertise such an important game, we felt that the contract remained unchanged. It is town the size of Marshall. Still the contract remained unchanged by the time we would have gone through the game and the contract been signed. Wiley once brought a football team, a联盟 in 1821 from the South Carolina team. We agreed that the trip was to be a football team has never been cast of the Minstalai. All we wanted was the game, we game would have gone through.
I am very sorry to have to do a lot of explaining through the newspaper that Wiley was at fault in the failure of the two teams to meet this deadline. I will send the Fisk received our signed contract and will bear me out in the above men's league. I will send our contract between September 9, and November 15, in a pulee to me. I am asking you to publish this statement in the Boston Post-Dispatch by one not familiar with the facts in the newspaper, will not
JACKSON BEARS
TRIM BEAUMONT
IN HECTIC GAME
Beaumont, Texas.—Playing at the South Texas Fair Park the Jackson Bears, perennial state champions, of Coriscana, walloped the highly touted Charlton Pollard High Bulldogs, 13-6, a more rewarded and well-known game. The star is a more rewarded against them during the entire season, but Coach Pendleton's well-timed off-tackle offensive with its power and precision never falls.
The game was a hard fought affair and Charlton was on the big end of the second until early in the fourth period, when the Bears unleashed that inspired finish, for which they are noted, and scored two touchdowns and an extra point. Lynch, the Bears' ballbills, and the Trains' 53 yards down to the score. A few minutes later, Quince skirted end for 16 yards and dropped-kicked the extra point. Captain Ashford played a wonderful game on the generating end. McGriffie, who has been the first player in the world while Lynch and Quince starred as backs. The whole Bear team was a unit of coordination, the Bears making a total of 15 first-downs to 7 for Charlton, four of Charlton's being by the same time as the Bears were made through the line.
Stars for the Charlton's were the Moulton brothers, Bogan, Peterson, and "Big" Ned.
The Jackson Bears and their coach are loud in their praise of the hospitable manner in which they were entertained by theீ�. Theீ�s are contenting. They are unit in proclaiming Prof. T. J. Charlton's prince of hosts, who made things "too easy."

WHY PEOPLE GO TO THE DOGS INSTEAD OF TO CHURCH—
Negroes have invested more money in churches than they have in any other enterprise in the world.
When churches are used, properly, the people get more out of them than they do out of any other enterprise in the world.
The ministers are their only vultures group for whose salaries andNGovernment need to feel responsible. Up to the last decade the Negroto the church and the religious obligation he felt it his bounded duty to build churches. He felt it his bounded duty to build churches and return for the investment in property and their fidelity to the cause, the cause, the cause in churches that are shut up four-fifths of the year, run down, going down, and leaders are wasting time and money, fighting, masquerading, and bringing the people up and out of the mire and the clay and establishing their going-in-agreement, that is so evident in Negro government not supported in any other enterprises or profession. O, religion, religion, religion and awakened and wounded waste is in
People put their money into churches for the dissemination of the truth, the regeneration of mankind, the edification of the mind and soul, the creation of a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. But from nine-tenths of our churches the people are not getting anything that丰产or the spirituality and moral returns that they should get on their tremendous investments. The Bible asks "Will a man rob God?" Yes, any church that gets a dollars worth of service and gives back a dime's worth of results, is robbing God and man. That is just what every church that is shut up four-fifths times, run down, and all others are preaching, and questionable living on the part of leader, represents a dime for your dollar—in some cases, even the dime has a hole in it.
Thousands of our churches are not only locked up but are left dirty and "topsy turvy" from Sunday to Saturday and are only brushed on the Sunday. This condition is due most wholly to standardities of milestones selfish leaders. Able-bodied men who claim that they are called of God, sit around all the week and allow their church yards to grow up in weeds or become as bare of grass as the palms of their hands are of hair, the fences to fall down, the window lights to drop out and these men have the temerity to come to church on Sunday and preach about how industries "Paul, the tent making preach
No, don't put it on the sexton. If you should be able to do it, he should be afraid if he doesn't do it. He is not hired to keep the church points the trustees and stewards are aware of the trustees and stewards are aware of physical excellence. The officers and members are responsible for ensuring in every way possible but it is the minister's job to get results or get
Negro churches are not living up to the mission they have built, bought, and supported the churches. In return the church members have built, bought, and supported the church. In the week and hold them up on Sunday. "Feed my sheep" has come to them. The people for going to the dogs. There is nowhere else for millions of them have paid are locked up. Thousands of the churches have no proverb with something doing every minute in the day, three hundred and sixty-four could be them at the game if the children of light were wiser than the children of darkness. They could be them after the game. They stay to catch it. The churches get their game with the children of light to get ready to be the dogs for six days. Many church leaders take six days to get ready to be the dogs for six days. The dogs have a perennial performance—with variety. In this day they open up men to their jobs and keep their specific business going the lock up the churches and spend their time resting or engaging in worldly community locked up, run down, and looking lonesome. A run down church does not down, lazy layer. Mighty plain talk, but ye shall know the truth—even if it does hurt the guillot.
Talking about the high cost of living, what about the high cost of religion? Here are millions of dollars put into buildings that are locked up and the people who made the sacrifice and paid for them have to go to other places for edification and wholesome diversion six days of the week.
Churches brag about their numbers. Numbers are nothing. Qualify and not quantity counts with God. Only a handful of people are actually engaged in Christian service. The churches are not developing Christian leaders in proportion to the outlay in equipment and the opportunity for encouraging the right use of talent.
The churches should be kept open and the people properly organized, trained, and put to work. That is the only way they can develop. The little is clear on this point. The spiritual and general gifts of the people are many and they are for moral
The Bible definitely consists in the church to put everybody to work to stimulate and utilize the diversity of gifts. Read the twelfth chapter of First Corinthians: Churches under intelligent leadership can be run very much like a school and be made very much like a school. The Bible comes to teach God's word, the doctors to teach health and to health the people. The lawyers to give advice, the nurse to instruct mothers, the musician to teach music, etc., until all who have gifts are given a chance to exercise them and all idle churches and idle members are put to work. The masses would be lifted up to their investment in churches would pay in this world and in the world to come. While the ministers are asking the people "Why stand ye here idle," the people are beginning to ask the churches and the ministers who hold the keys, the same pertinent question. Here they are—idle men and idle ministers. The churches and the people going to the dogs because the dogs keep open house.
During the first eleven months of 1929 Texas brought in 4,717 producing oil wells and 522 gas wells.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1929, Texas citizens paid to the federal government in taxes $39,465,999.50, of which $37,703,785 was on incomes.
Getting as much as 40 a pound, *T. J. Barton, Bastrop County farmer*, sold $1,500 worth of pectas from his new orchard last year.

MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS DU BOSE HEYWARD Author of PORGY A Story of Sacrifice, Romance, Humor and Tragedy
**MAMBA**—Not a full-blood Norro but whose dark colored suggestive hair was a blond. The much beloved employee of the white antisocial Wentworth family.
**THE WENTWORTH FAMILY**—Consist of Saint Julien de Chateau Wentworth, Polly Wentworth, and Mrs. Wentworth, their widow, who is more artistic than wealthy.
**MAUM NETTA**—A member of the Wentworth household, who has been with them for many years.
Mamba has an uncanny clever understanding of the ruling white class and also possesses a naturally deep and unusually rich contrasto to the Wentworths are unable to pay Mamba, but Mamba is no devout to the family that she is satisfied with her board and the opportunity of acting as maid to Polly. The lady of inherited social promiscuity was very apt in school, but Saint was a disgustion to everyone in the Wentworth family, except Mamba, whose keen insight and ability to accept ability even though he did not respond creditably to the school system. Mamba alone understood Saint.
**HAGAR**—Mamba's giant muscular, slow-witted daughter, had an affinity for the school system and had excellent qualities she had in connexion with Mamba, a fine c-stratum voice and a large body. Mamba had said Hagar was "born for troubling".
**LISSIA**—Hagar's daughter, was the object of Mamba's sacrifice and the cause of Mamba's constant remonstrance against Hagar's habit. Mamba leaves the Wentworths for the Atkinsonns, who are also wealthy, while Mamba is wealthy than antisocratic—in order that she may obtain more pay.
In the meantime Saint obtains a five dollar a week job as store-keeper at the mines and begins a business career.
Mamba sat at the open window. There was a density about her attitude as though she were waiting by prearrangement for a certain occurrence and that she was unsure only of the hour. St. Michael's chimes had spoken to her every quarter hour, and each time at the first mellow note she had at forward, counted with an inaudible movement of the lips, then in the ensuing silence, let herself go slowly back in her chair and wait for the next. She was fully clad, even to the sedate black straw bonnet which was an emblem of respectability without which she was never seen upon the street.
The Stormy Career of Jack Johnson - - No. 7
TO TRAINS
After his first success Jack set about establishing himself with the best in the profession. He became a member of Wescoft's Camp and travelled with him to Boston, having served with him as a starring partner for two months with the company, making of all the members in the range. He learned much from his experience.
INSTALLMENT XI1
"Ah ain't expectin' no harm to come to she, an Ah ain't tryin' to baby my gal. Ah trus' she anywhere wid anbody any time. But when she go away from here wid yo, yo's'sponable for she. Ef enytin happer to she yo' got me—Mamba—to settle wid. Yo' gets dat?"
The man looked her up and down. It was not in him to feel the spiritual power that animated the fragile old creature who hung to the side of his car. He could only see a rather comic little figure with great false teeth gleaming in the lamphight against the black of her face, and a hand that trembled absurdly and impotently on his car. He laughed at her frankly, throwing his head back so that she saw the insolent challenge in his eyes, and livid hear that crossed his forehead like a long centipede.
Liliana put her arm around the old woman and drew her close to her side. "Here, cut that out," she cried sharply to the man. "Nobody's going to laugh at Grandma and take me out—you can just get that straight now."
Prince's choice of front was almost the same: "me laugh at do old lady!"-Honey, you don't know me. Ab'j laugh beamed while Ahak trained care of you." He reached over and patged Mamie. He grinned. Granma. Make your min' easy, galn't never been so well fiftieth." During the brief parler the engine had been running slowly. Now he adored Mamie, swelled suddenly and omniviously in "Get in, Lies," he called. "We tait enough already."
Midnight had passed, heavy-fotted

In 1800, being 20 years of age, Jack returned to Garveyston. Because of his youth he had put himself in the middle of the York or Boston. In the latter city he had suffered a great beating at the hands of an able man with a knife and was forced for "Gentleman Just Corbett over John
and weary, then, almost staccate by comparison, came the single clear note announcing the new day.
A ramshackle automobiles ratled
a wheelchair, and a walker
pot with a light bifurcation.
At the same moment that Mam-
mons and Gardinia Whitmore breathed
breathless
"Lisa home yet?" she asked.
Mamba disappeared immediately and a moment later stood beside the young woman, her fingers closed in a grip that was almost painful about Gardini's arm.
"Nina," she could briefly, then: "All been waitin' fee yo' to come fo' me Whar yo't link she gone!"
Gardinia's voice was edged with hysteria. She had been drinking, and exhaled an effluvium of corn whiskey. "I'm to do with it, Grenna," she began. "I did just like I promised, I kept my eye on her, but there was something about that licker of Prince's. It knocked me out, an' it knocked out Slim, an' we ain't had babies. What's come from the first thing I looked for was Lisa and Prince, and when I ain't see them I made Slim burn it down here to you just like I promised."
Mamba's voice came urgent steadying: "Whate's all nigger Prince lib? Tell all the good about um'gal." "Nobody don't know much about him, and he's such a liar, you can't count on what he says about himself. All I know is he lives across the bridge. He says he runs a big truck far and a lot of stores over there." "What's he known?" he says.
"What's he has," he says. "I'm a name of a name," the Gardinia stood silent, trying to remember. Then she called Slim. With maddening deliberation he detached himself from the car and slouched in doorknocked.
"What's Prince's real name?" the girl, demanded.
The man stood shuffling one foot backward and walked on the grass, his mouth sighing as he pursued the glimmer of a memory through the labiata; he then announced, "Ah got it. Ah done heard some of the men call him Bluton - Clyl Bluton." The word shocked Mamia into instant anxiety. She spun around and mentored later with a big old-fashioned skirt of the young people by an arm and propelled them toward the gate, and each of the young people by an arm and propelled a bill into Slim's hand, the intensity of her purpose. At the car she stuffed a bill into Slim's hand, and her bill, she ordered, "un fugal buvak," and he home' an睡 off it, gal'. she said in a gentle voice. "Oy呀 a'nadal a girl."
Slim sat silent, giving his whole attention to the task and getting the attention of the problem. Mamba's thoughts wrestled with the problem of how to keep him alive, and would have to depend on Hagar, who knew the situation, and almost unquestionable facts of the case that might result from such a degree of well-well-ment bungling of her great awkward daughter that had precipitated the summer dawn when Hagar had sent for her to come to the East Side, and all of her hopes for Lissa to be rescued by Boltton himself by the search and for by the police. The malignant and nonglamous police had never played a move on joke or on that. She had risked what it meant to attempt the ruin of her own daughter. The thought stabbed old women like shake and be broken and been between two and three o'clock when Mamba reached the cabin in which Hagar lived with her. The sky was filled with drifting mist, dark to the east and showing a light where the sky was tilted toward the cabin had a shotty, deserved look. Mamba sprang from the car, and called urgently, "Hagar-Hagar."
Almost instantly the door was open. She was a white nightdress, looming huge lips. "Lissa's ober here with dat damn 'nigger' Burton," Mumba shot at her shot. "She's a little bit the idea into the sleep-drained bulb, so do 'yo unerstand!" "Can't be, Ma—not Lissas." "I can't be her quick, what her be take? Her quick, what her be take? Her quick, what her be take?

Hagar was awake now, and she responded to Mamba's old power over her. It was almost as though the older brain had assumed control of the nerve and mobiles. The big body was full of a long-time want to do. Hagato's head into the room and caught up a cloak that she flung over her nightdress; then, with Mamba, she sprang for the car.

Over the uneven road the machine bounded, plunging, plunging through avenues, racing between broom straw fields under a wide emptiness of sky. And always Hagar, sitting on the rear seat and leaning forward with her face at Slim's shoulder, told him when he was in the room about them the night, under its shroud of mist, lay as quiet, as indifferent to human urgency, as death. The steady pulsing of the motor and the rattle of the vehicle served only to accentuate the awful loneliness of the country.
The first time he had� dotted cabins of a settlement and struck a narrow dirt road that led out through a stand of yellow pine toward the swamp that lay black and solid against the horizon. Hagar's fingers clamped down of Slim's shoulder.
"Stop," he whispered.
Under her hand the machine seemed to die in midair, gasping, and setting suddenly to earth. The trees that had been rushing past them stopped in their tracks, crowded close, and looked down on the three intruders.
We got it, get out here an walk." Hagato, the man, and we aint got no time to lose now.
But the man did not leave his seat. Mamba turned back and asked why he waited.
He settled forward in the seat, his body relaxed, his head propped against the back.
"Nuttin' doin' Gran'ma," he drawled. "Ah a's a hired driver. Ah ain't got nuttin' against Prince. Ah ain't see nuttin'. Ah ain't hear nuttin'. When yo's ready to go home, yo' can wake me up.
But now the initiative had passed to Hagar. She caught Mamba by the arm and urged. "Com on, Ma, we ain't need no man to help."
They would soon be there now, Hagar explained as he hurried the old woman forward. This was the place where Bluton ran his crap game. A little farther, at the swamp's edge, they would find the cabin. They were upon it. There was a small opening in the trees, and through it the sky let down a dim gray light. The cabin was a black cube with one candlelit window. Before the door in spidery outline stood the red racer.
Not until the women were at the door did they hear the first sound. Liss's voice in a sort of desperate monotony: "Not that, Prince—not that—not that."
Hargak jacket the door open, and they entered together. Liana was seated on a chair, her knees drawn up, and her chin on them. Her arms were locked over the shoulder, and she candlelight flickered upon the golden brown of her shoulder and upper arm where her dress had been torn. Blemished over her in a threatening attitude.
At the entrance of the women both faces were flung toward the door.
With a shrill cry Lissa was up in Mamba's arms. Between them and Prada, the flung was on the wall, wide apart. Her arms held a kimboh under the full coat exaggerated her already massive bulk to a preposterous breadth, and her head, held low and thrust menacingly forward, was scarcely visible to the women who were on the wall. The body was being to be found with the head of the woman. There had been no sound except Lissa's cry, and the waiting silence of the night had seemed to suck the shrill note from her lips and leave the four occupants of the room suspended as though in a round-like way was the most demoniac scream of a cat—a struggle a strangling death wall—and again silence. A subtle change became manifest in the appearance of the girl. She ceased trembling. Her form drew to its full height. A ripple of watered water was the most smooth bronze of her skin where the shoulder rose above her tattered clothing. Then in a flash she was out of Mamba's arms, past the gigantic form of her mother, and upon the covering man. Words that rose to her were not the same thing. In the face of the savage utterance unintelligible as speech, but more eloquent—more terrifying. One slender hand clawed downward and four livid streaks followed the flening nails from forehead to chin. Hagar reached out and then turned his arm to the surveilment, pressed her to her side for a moment, then passed her back to Mamba.
As suddenly as it had come, the girl's passion left her. Her head went down on the old shoulder, "Oh Grandma, he tried to — he tried to —

Jack's stay in Chelveston was however brought to a speedy end when he was arrested for the murder of the man who was in fear at that time. He was held in prison three weeks for engaging in a battle which he accused of driving the boat. After this Jack started for new
"—" and her voice broke into uncontrollable sobbing.
The deep compassionate voice soothed her: "Ah know, chile. Ah know—but, at all done now, yo' wid Mamba now." She drew the shaking girl from the room and into the heavy stillness of the night. There was something terribly complete about those two, about their entire sufficiency to each other. The enfolding devotion of the old woman covert the girl and isolating her from every evil every alien touch—Mamba and Lissa—no one else.
Hagar stood for a moment like one who has been blinded by sudden intense light. Her eyes held the image quiveringly alive, of the spendid thing that was her child. The dream pattern that she had treasured of the slender little girl was shattered, and as yet she could not take in this view of her and the rest being. She was also from the revelation of a loneliness vaguely conscious of a loneliness deeper than any that had gone before.
The chaos of her mind was shot through by an instinctive warning. Suddenly her brain cleared, her body tensed. She spun around and faced Bluton. The naked fear in his face gave her an exquisite pang. Something deep and elemental broke free inside her. She stood watching her catlike as she moved along wall in the direction of the crap table which stood at the further end of the room.
She knew what he wanted now. She let him get almost to the drawer with its brass knobs, her eyes and his locked all the time. She saw his face change, glimmer with hope, relief. Then she was before him, with the table at her back. As he had advanced slowly, with his studied attempt at casualness, so now he retreated before her, while she closed the distance between them. It was like some ghastly rehearsal, carried out with utter absorption, for some momentous event that was set for the future. It was so deliberate, so mechanical in its studied advance and retreat. Then at last the wall was against the man's shoulder blades.
The touch of the unyielding timber seemed to turn his limbs to water. His knees gave, and he had difficulty propping his body upright. He raised his arms before his face in a weak, defensive gesture.
Hagar said, "Yo' rattlesnake! Yo' would be dead now 'cept fuh me—an' naw my own gal, Issa—" Then after a pause, "You!"
The man found voice in a screech. It was so weak that it scarcely filled the little room—at its peak it plunged suddenly into silence.
Mamba wanted to be going. She wanted to get Issa away from that horrible place, back into the ordered peace of streets and houses. But Hagar did not come. Why couldn't the woman hurry and let them get to the automobile and away? She put the girl, who was quiet at last, out of her arms and started back to the shack. The door was open, and the draught played with the candle flame, peopling the room with lurching shadows and half lights.
The old woman entered, with Lisa peering fearfully over her shoulder. Hagar stood with her back to them, her arms hanging straight and long at her sides, her bullet head thrust forward. Her huge shoulders flung a black arch of shadow over half of the wall before her. Bluton lay in a huddle at her feet. His head was twisted at a preposterous angle. The yellow of his face had gone a dark purple, and the candle flame was flung back in two cold high lights from his wide, unblinking eyes.
Lisa screamed. Hagar turned heavily in her tracks and looked at them dully from raised eyes under lowered browns.
Mamba, advanced toward her. In her extremity her voice seemed heavy with hatred for her big bungling daughter.
"To damned fool," she said. "See dawn dance have Lena been laid? People then me come out here. Ah ought to he known? Ah turned my of an arm and commenced to soak Hagar buried her face in the crook of the arm and commenced to soak him. "I think. Ah only knew he been hurt Lissas." He was没腻垫粉 on the broken thing upon the floor. Her whole being focused on the staging predicament that confronted her. "Get outside," she ordered. "Ah got out and followed them into the open, thinking aloud: "Ah got to see Lissas. But Ah can't let she go so far. But Ah can't let she go so alone and she can't got to friend to go." Between broken sobs Hagar went to Mamba looked at her sheptically. "O has been in Lissas what's a Reverent, an la lib in No Yoh."
"Yo know what he house is!"
Hager was getting myself in hand now and had stopped crying. "Ah got it writ in a book he gib me. He a good man—yo' needn't be 'fraid to sen' Lisa to he."
"Oh, he dat Yankee nigger what used to be down here!"
Hagar nodded assent.
"Come, den," Mamba commanded. "We ain't got no time to lose."
They waked Sim, who grinned alasleep and lewd when he saw the get, and startled when he saw the dog. They waded, they magged. Haggy cabin she ran inside and returned in a moment with a small black book in her hand, and when who had followed her to the door.
"De name an' number is writ' in

Then Mamba handed Hagar a tender bill from her pocketbook and took it out in 'bimn hard. Now 'yo he汁 it out an 'n hide.

"Full of her plan-making, Mamba turned to leave her daughter. She came back with a knife and Hagar again, impatient at the delay.
"Well," she snapped, "who 'yo want now?'"
Hagar made one of her gachet child gestures toward the auto-room, "the wouldn't (screw so much of) Ah gachet."
Saint Wentworth sat in the lobby of the Pennsylvania Hotel and immediately watched the hands of a clock that seemed to have been strick-an with creeping paralysis. At noon he was to meet Valerie over on the avenue and select the ring. It was a terribly complicated business, getting married in New York. Saturday then had got the license. Simple enough, he was seen in a few minutes. The Municipal Building that all they had gone together, blinded by a new glamour in the air, and feeling themselves marked for public notice by the magnitude and unusual nature of the step that they contemplated. But upon their arrival at the vast down-town structure they had been both reassured and chagrined to find themselves in a queue half a block long, sandwiched between a frankly infatuated Negro couple and a pain-making life for the liquid. It was the only way to be able. It was odd how many people had the same idea. Then there was the big room with long tables where couples sat, while Eros, in the guise of an officious elderly man, leaned between them and explained in lucid and complete detail the meaning of certain perfectly obvious and embarrassingly personal questions. Saint, very red, tried to forestall him by explaining that they both understood. It is not only a person who was a little with the seal of a publicist who glories in doing well and conspicuously work that occasions, no effort.
And now today there were more details—more complications. The minister had to be seen again and formed prepared. Saint had telegraphed the place of a copy of birth certificate and had not received a copy. It seemed that you could not be married in New York without documentary evidence that you had been born. The fact that you could be seen, touched, even separated from a fee, were information that was the commonplace. Only eleven-twenty. No use to start yet and have to cool his heels on the Avenue.
His thoughts drifted to another matter.
He was brought to earth by the son of his own name drowned in loud, monotonous voice. Good: that would be the wire about the certificate. He signalled the boy and tore open the envelope. The telegram was from his mother. It said:
"Mamba's granddaughter, Lissa in trouble arrives New York noon train. Mamba begs you to meet and assist her."
Good God! Couldn't be even be safe from the old responsibilities here, and at the one time in life when a man should be free? And Val-hola-hala-hala blagglدى to buy the ring—then blasiful hour at the stores and decorator's, planning for the new furnishings. And now at the exact hour when she would be awaiting him he was expected to be respond to this unreasonable and inuseable summon. Well, it's be damned if he would. Mamba,
Perhaps he could still catch Valt with phone and postpone the engagement. He decided against going. "He tore the yellow slip, bitalled it up, and volleyed at a waste-gapper jacket. Then he got up and waded through a washing gesture. Well, that was that. He got up and strode reallessly down to the middle. When he came to the middle he fell.

What did she care if it upset his plane.—I am—Liasal! He was reminded of the time she had made him take Hager in at the mines. Would he never be free of Mamba's daughters! What was there about her that could bound a man across the miles and make him feel like a cur until he did her bidding! The cometial old Negress a thin-and miles away, and, in commonhow, he felt that he dare not go back and meet her eyes unless he had responded to her sunmons for help.
He found himself calling a familiar number. Valerie's voice—even over the 'phone, that dewy, early morning quality that made his heart hang a beat. Good God! he hadn't thought yet what to say. How could he put it?
"Val, I'm desolated, broken-sarted. Promise you'll forgive me for what I am going to say. No. Not that—not that—I am sorry I scared you. It's that I can't meet you at noon. There's something else I have to do. We all are awful and I'm explain over the phone. There's a girl coming up from Charleston I've got to go and meet you. Mamba's granddaughter, Lisa. You remember her, don't you?... Yes, she's in some sort of trouble, and Mamba has gotten mother to telegraph asking me to meet her at the noon train. I love, you're a dear. Three o'clock, the last Tiffany's. You're an angel.
Val.
Wentworth did not at once recognize his protege when she came up with her name. She was looking for the girl whom he is, a member of vaguely as being slender and pretty with eyes like those of Mamba and Hagar and who, also, would show in trouble. It was a very special thing he would have. He had his hand that he recognized her. Taken on from her, familiar matrix and placed before. Saint against the novel setting of the vast station, she stood out for the first time, not as Manba's grandchild to be taken as a matter of course, but as Lisa Atkinson, with an individuality of her own. It was not a small thing. It was the first time, though he was her for the first time.
She was died in a moltish tailored bright embroidery on collar and cuff, and carried a small blue umbrella bright embroidery on collar and cuff, and carried a small blue umbrella Wentworth's glance took in the slender, superbly carved figure and the full-mouth liped man and Mamuha's own.

SOME INFANTILE MORTALITY FACTS
Passing Parade
Passing Parade
According to a survey conducted in New York City by the Welfare Council, 128,000 babies are born in the American metropolis annually; with 7,200 of these babies dying before they are one year old, more than half this number (7,200) passing away within the first month of their lives, and about 40 per cent within the first week.
Our churches should be dynamic factors in the community, but where our efforts are divided, our churches too numerous and our preschools too ignorant to sense the real situation and map out and follow a definite and well-defined human-reclamation and soul-evalation program, then the church is falling short of its divine mission.

The survey further shows that for every 200 children born in New York City, one mother dies at childbirth.
Many of the faults and defects in any number of our local churches could be rectified or the condition considerably improved, if negro laymen would manifest more interest in the internal affairs of the church than of leaving the whole matter largely to the preachers and women.
Yet to safeguard the health and health of these babies and their mothers, public and private welfare agencies of New York City provide an army of 204 doctors, 129 nurses, 42 social workers and nurses, 200 teachers, 100 workers, doctors and nurses in training, clerks and investigators.

By this, we do not mean to infer that laymen should try to dominate the situations in their several churches, but there are numerous pastors who are more than willing to confer with and respect the advice of upstanding and unselfish laymen; but in too many instances such succor is never available and, with their own efforts, they fail to commit serious blunders in connection with their church program.

There are 91 maternity clinics in the five boroughs of New York and 77 by other agencies, maintained by the municipal government and 77 by other agencies.
In many of our churches—even in some of our cities—the pastor must serve as spiritual advisor and then execute all the duties ordinarily falling upon the deacons, stewards, trustees, clerks, treasurers and any other lay officers.
With such an alarming infantile death rate, the fact is being brought home to America that society is yet remiss in its duty toward expectant mothers, with the result that thousands of babies are brought into the world without a chance at or in life.

It is a pathetic case to behold some pastor trying to serve as shepherd of a manless congregation—a church where all the male members either absent themselves from the services and take no part in the business administration of the church, or, by their silence, delegate all functions, spiritual, temporal and otherwise, to the minister.
This condition does not merely exist in New York City, but the infantile mortality rate is alarmingly high throughout the country; and, if Greater New York City, with all the health agencies and workers, loses over 7,000 infants each year, one can readily surmise what is happening along this line in cities and communities less advantaged than the American metropolis.

Many of the Negro laymen seem to become "too big" for active participation in church affairs as soon as they begin to get on their feet in business or the professions, while many of them "mituate" as soon as they laid a good-paying position.
- Ignorance and poverty are important factors in infantile and maternal mortality, and our municipal, state and national governments must see to it that better safeguards are taken to protect and prolong the lives of all American infants; for the perpetuity and welfare of this nation are dependent, in a large measure, upon the health of our infants.

If our local churches are losing their weight and influence in the community (and it is evident that such is the case); if they are falling down on their job job (and many agree that they are not doing their job well) and are not fulfilling various responsibilities), the preachers are not wholly blameable—despite all their faults and shortcomings, for Negro laymen have just about turned over the churches, "lock, stock and barrel," to white preachers, who are not sticking mass to run many of the local churches and even state and national religious organizations.
Under the able leadership of Mrs. M. H. Fowler of Fort Worth, founder and president of the Texas Association and originator of the summer school, the institution was begun with the idea of providing a comprehensive course deemed expedient to establish permanently such a school in Texas.

Some of the leading musicians of the race have served as members of the summer school faculty; while students from all sections of the state have attended the two former sessions held at the summer school, a much larger attendance should be recorded.
SHOULDERING CIVIC RESPONSIBILITIES
Homely Philosophy
By Georgia Douglas Johnson
Such an institution will mean much to Houston and South Texas, and The Informer, which is in hearty accord with the movement, suggests that both musical, business and professional leaders unite their froces and procure this school for our city during the forthcoming summer. It is going to mean work, but we are well prepared to do the job in fine style.
The man or race, that dodges civic responsibilities or seeks to "use of least resistance, will soon discover that those men should such responsibilities and bear their burdens in the political life of the nation," said the state and national governments.
Knowing how and when to be when in a fine art. Fools do not possess I. Proverbially, greese cackle, chill. Mages are remarked for their allure. Mages are remarked for their allure. To refrain from heated retort when one is right is a test supreme of the mage.
In this connection, Houston stands a fine chance to land the 1930 meeting of the Texas Association of Negro Musicians, which will be held the first week in June, with the school beginning the

HOUSTON CONCERT;
PLANS FOR SCHOOL
Houston was honored Sunday and Monday with a visit from Mrs. Mcclure, at H. Fowler of Fort Worth, president of the Texas Association of Non-roo Musicians, who addressed a public meeting at Antioch Baptist Church Sunday afternoon.
In her talk Mrs. Fowler stated that Houston stands a fine chance to land the state meeting of the music association and the summer school of music and fine arts, conducted the past two summers in Fort Worth. The mass meeting went on record as favoring the operation of the school and holding of the state association in Houston during June, 1930.
Monday night Mrs. Fowler appeared in a recital at St. John Baptist Church (Dowling), Rev. S. A. Pleasants, Jr., pastor; her vocal numbers being received by an audience which taxed the seating capacity of the church. Mrs. P. O. Smith, local music leader, served as a companist.
Mrs. Fowler also held a meeting with local music leaders, looking forward to the 1930 ansaotional gathering and summer school, and she plans to return to the city during February to work out final details.
