Wilson 'Chooses To Run' As Elk Head THE HOUSTON INFORMER 5 PRICE CENTS OKLAHOMA CREEK LOSES HIS APPEAL Pythian Leader Shot To Death S THE MIRROR By C. F. RICHARDSON RADIO AND NEGRO RACE PYTHIAN LEADER SLAIN SATURNALIA OF CRIME 1930 S. S. COMMENTARY As an advertising medium or propaganda agency, the radio is becoming a powerful instrument, as well as a source of much entertainment and literary enlightenment. Realizing the potency of the radio as an advertising medium, many national and local firms are spending large sums of money merely for the privilege of broadcasting programs for a given period of time; while thousands are being given employment in various capacities as a result of the widespread use of the radio for such purposes. If the Negro race wishes to sell itself to the listening world, or be heard in radio efforts, it must "take to the air" of its own accord and not sit around and wait for other races to afford the opportunity for such publicity. Mention was made in last week's informer of the Madame C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, Indianapolis, Indiana, employing one of the leading radio stations in the Hoosier City for a series of broadcasting programs, presenting both the claims of the race company and racial artists. Other Negro concerns and organizations, with the wonderful advantages and excellent results derived through the medium of broadcasting programs, have the wonderful influence if the programs have any unusual merit. Negro insurance companies, fraternal and other organizations can reach out to Negro audiences radio which they could never hope to reach in any other manner, and we have the abundant value of newspaper advertising. In other words, the Negro must augment our advertising radio advertisements by abundant talent we have in the race, some stellar programs could be prepared to much good in more ways than one. Expressed differently, we must use the radio to tell our racial story to the Negro, and we are living in a literal radio age. We learn, with much regret, the untemptly death which overtook Honorable Ernest G. Tidrington at Evansville after a fatal shot by an enraged member of the race who charged that the slain man had "hounded" and "persecuted" Mr. Tidrington, recognized as one of the leading lawyers of his state and country, is the author of the Colored Knights of Pythia of North America, South Australia, and New Zealand, and as such, is supreme counselor of the Court of Calanthe, presiding over the organization of the Pythians. He was also grand chancellor of the University of Australia, having high in political ranks, having been mentioned prominently for registering as a member of the Coolee college administration. He hold many high offices during his lifetime and was one of the race leaders appointed on a national basis in the Australian government. His presiding and uniformly passive be deplored and we motivate the family and fraternity his tragic death. —0— Too many members of the Negro race are resorting to violent methods, and the family is being too light a premium is being placed upon human lives for the good of the race and society. —0— The papers were filled with new stories telling of the lives of some white man, but today we seldom reads of such an incident. The hands of such people are recording stories for instance where some Negro is slaying another Negro, or making an attempt to kill a Negro men are attacking and killing Negro men, Negro women are not killing Negro men, Negro women are even slaying Negro women and Negro women are countering by "bumping off" Negro men. Negro men have a large Negro population, both North and South, are witnessing a naturalness of this sort of violence. In the South, light sentences are usually meted out to Negroes who were members of their own race, and thus other Negroes who go on the warpath and destroy human life. gotten to the point where Negroes will cut or shoot another Ruler Will Seek Leadership Again At Detroit Parley PRESIDENT Detroit, Mich.—(ANP)—"I'm the grand exalted ruler until next August," then I choose to run," said Finley Wilson here last Sunda y afternoon. The grand exalted ruler was addressing the midwinter confab and pre-convention meeting of the high powered executives of the I. B. O. Elks of the World with the local convention committee which was held in this city Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, for the purpose of "ironing out the kinks" in the old convention sheet which has been folded away since last August; and to layout and emphasize the well regulated convention plans, as well as to officially notify and present to the public the 31st convention, and the Elks of the World which convenes here next August. Such diplomatic as Grand Exalted the Honorable John A. Ruler Abbey Johnson (Grand Quire Stephen Ball; Commissioner of Education Judge H.W. Huston, and State Association, sat in conference with the local grand lodge convention committee which has to do with the convention. The convention, in several weeks some little disruption seems to have been creeping into the ranks of the convention committee here and while not creeping into the ranks of the convention committee, referring to someone at the convention committee, picked it up and placed it along. If it would have no doubt disrupted the harmony and the smooth working of the convention. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, FEB. 1, 1930 Iley Wilson without mincing his words and in no uncertain terms denounced this sort of thing and publicly asked for the resignation of anyone who felt that he could not function with the committee. "They might as well get out now, if they don't I'll put them out," said Finley. "If any member of any committee gets too big for his job, or if any committee refuses to function and work in perfect harmony with the general committee, or if any heads of any lodges or temples fall to function properly and you can't do anything with them send their names to me. I'll deal with them according to the law. When they get too tough for everybody else they are just right for me. If they won't resign, I'll resign them. I do business at 907 Vou Street, N. W., Washington, D.C." Quoting from the constitution, giving the article and number, Wilson spoke of the power invested in the grand exalted ruler when the grand large is not in session. "I'm the grand exalted ruler until next August—and then, I choose to run." Former Houstonian, Contractor of Boley, At Sister's Funeral William L. Jones, Boly.

INSTALLMENT XVI Above the metallic roar of the subway a brassy voice shouted "One hundred and Twenty-fifth Street," and, like a succession of enormous inflammation points flung for emphasis after the words, a series of post-flekered across Lissay's vision. Gradually the perpendicular bars lessened their speed until finally each exhibited the numerals 125 in black against the glaring white. Behind the girl the hurtling darkness fell away. The train shot out into a pool of light and smoke to rise with a small, and precipitated her through a newspaper against a hostile breast. Doors springing open with mechanical preciation, and with a sigh of relief packed with white and black broke their enforced common imprisonment. The Negroes pouring out on the platform, the whites appropriating their places and regarding their retreating back with resentment and relief. On the platform the dark mass hesitated for a moment, drew deep breaths, stretched limbs, then, like a breaker that has bound the shore, lifted, caught up the one of the street, turned her The day was warm, but the sun lacked the torrid pressure that energized Lissa during the Southern summers. Over her head the sky was no longer the throbbing cobalt of a Charleston noon, but a thin ultramarine that seemed to lessen the power of gravitation and lift her along with a new bourance. She swung east in the direction of her home. In her new liberating environment an inherent elegance in her carriage and manner that had impressed her Charleston neighbors as merely amusing lent her distinction and gave her that air of self-assurance which in Harlem differentiates the cosmopolite from the newly arrived provincial. She was clad briefly in dark blue tailored silk. The color was a concession to Mamba, the brevity to Harlem. A scarf of flaming red was knotted loosely about her throat, and a small junty hat of the same shade fitted closely about her head. Below the dress a rather assembling length of champagne silk, locking was evident, and, symbolic of her complete emancipation, these terminated in a pair of red high-heel pumps. She carried a modish vanity case, and a small umbrella in the accenting color was pendent from the elbow. With that poker to evoke memory, which contrast possesses to an even more powerful tool, she often setting switched the girl's thoughts back to her last eventful night in Charleston. She had been a child of a long ten days; and with her faculty for expelling from her mind all that can cause discomfort, the tragedy of Gluten's disease and the garbage were already as completely dissociated from her life as a printed story in a book that has been replaced with only one impression remained sharp and actual—Hagar, who in that hour characterized that parent that it had pleasured Pork and Beans WANNA DO ME A LITTLE PAN OLD BOY ANYTHING FOR A PAL PAGE TWO ed her to imagine, had taken masters into her own hands, and at the last had surprised her into that overwhelming surrender to maternal love. It was strange that she could feel no contrary, a latent savagery in her own nature caused her to feel so contrary, a latent savagery in her own mother, and a realization of a kinship closer even than that which Out of the sheltered life that Mamba had provided for her with its dependence upon the protection that civilization had created, she had crashed suddenly into her helpers and had been helpless. During that hour when Bluton had held her captive, and behind the shack the swamp voices of her mother nocturnal conflict, had had it in her heart to kill, and only the man's fingers from tearing at his throat. Then Hagar had come, terrible in her direct and unfettered simplicity, and never to be ever harmed. After ever to harm her again. After the years of separation Hagar had stood up to the particular kiss she found in her arms. Her reason told her. Then, in the moment of parting, had come the climax when the particulier kissed her and found herself in her arms. Her reason told her she should be shaken of her mother, yet by some strange paradox the thought of her was a swift infusion of want—a sudden, inexplicable pride where before there had been a sense of want—a sudden, inexplicable pride life she quickened to the realization of all that Hagar had done for her—week for her musculus clothes. And she had never even gone to see her mother, told herself, "I'll be able to make it up to her before long." Now that Salinik had undertaken her training made in New York. She took the brown-stone steps of her mother, and vivid flash she saw. Mamma's face wearing its moll of ferocious disaparency, she said. What lady? What the hell! Now she was free—neither a lady of the Broaden Attikson with at least, will of her own—nothing behind her, and every step she took, for her around the corner. She let herself into the dim coolness of the hall. In the drawing room she sat, with her glasses, and Ada, Grayson parted the portieres and kissed the girl affectionately. With her glasses, her slow, slow smile, she kissed her husband in appearance. Lisa had liked her from the moment when the men of them had sat together after Saturdays. The room and room and Ada had watched her husband and Ada's face with dividing intensity; she had really wanted her to be he had really wanted the girl to stay and was not merely submitting to a command of conscience, had taken her affections without reservation.

Why not simply accept the facts—death—loss—and destroy the paper that lay defenseless before her, yet which menaced her peace of mind? She should save herself for the sake of her at—Mamba had wanted that—Hagar herself. How could she be expected to sing and be gay with her mind full of trouble? Still undecided, she lifted the printed stripes. One of them read, "MURDERS MURDERS LOVER THEN TAKES OWN LIFE. But that wasn't so. Her mother impelled to proceed.

For instance, Mr. Pickens spoke at Ford Boston in January in February on Long Island; at the interment on Long Island; at the interment on Long Island; at the Bucknell University in Pennsylvania on "Lincoln" at Ashland College in Kentucky; at white churches in Detroit; to the Club of Detroit; and to colleges and universities in Indiana. Outward to the far west on a tour of more than three months, visiting institutions and speaking at many of the colleges and universities, and clubs. Texas improvement projects in 1930, public and private, are estimated at from $450,000,000 to $500,000,000. Negroes in 1850 represented 20,000 Texas Texans. In 1920 they were 15.9 per cent, the rate of increase from 1919 being only 7.5 per cent against 27.2 in the decade from AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER BY GEORGE S. SCHUYLER Special Contributor, New York City Because we never know when we are going to die or what our financial condition will be when we do, we don't know what we can do or we have the feeling that we prefer a final resting place in the cemetery rather than the potter's field and the graveyard. We don't have nothing to these near and dear who survive us. Because we never know when the house in which we live is going to catch fire and destroy all of the things we have laboured for and treasured, we know that our fire insurance. We know that every article of furniture, every picture, every book, every number of hours of labor and loving care, and if we are to lose it in a fire, we must get back more money to move it. And so it goes with us in business and travel. We might get injured or killed on that trip to Chicago, Boston or Atlanta, so we take out travel insurance. We might have our place of business broken into and robbed, so we take out burglary insurance. Gircuses and fairy insure themselves against inclement weather, dancers against foot injury, ships against delay or catastrophe. Even nations have in their armies and navies a form of insurance against invasion. How much more logical is it that Negros in America should take out insurance against the many ills that are liable to befall them at any time because of color prejudice and discrimination! A Negro dies but once, very infrequently has his home gutted by flames, seldom has his business burglarized and does not often meet with an accident while traveling, but he is always liable to experience some form of racial discrimination or segregation that hurts pride, prestige and pocketbook. Since we well know that this can happen to any Negro, it is strange that a Negro can take out insurance against such an eventuality. There is absolutely no guarantee that any individual Negro can take out insurance against no fault of his own that may end in a lawsuit. There is a cently instance of that in New York where Negro riders in the subway were set upon by white sailors, and the riders rage with the commandant of the Brooklyn navy yard and as a result were attacked by all of his men warning them against attacking Negroes and even perniticating them on board the battleship. Again, a man moved into a house in Jamaica, New York, in a so-called smashed by white hoodlums and the peace and safety of his family. He immediately on the job, had a police man assigned to protect the family and made a search for those who had it. It seems to me that the National Organization offering protection against many crimes, is an excellent insurance against the increase of these lilies. For organization offering support to it or quibble over giving such support for childish, narrow reasons, are just cutting their nose to the bone.

Dugan established himself in the rural community, took over a telephone and began calling every taxi listed in the directory, and talked about all of them either on the spot or on the way. His one mistake was to try his stunt again and the call was traced and so was Dugan and he was placed in jail. RAILROAD TIME TABLE GRAND CENTRAL STATION (Washington Ave.) Southern Post-T. & N. G.

SAYS CANP THE BLACK BOY AND WEST POINT Of course, nobody in his right mind, and knowing the people of this country, will pretend to say that a Negro ceder at West Point would be treated with consideration or kindness. But what is the earthly use of insisting that the black boy, Parham, did not get a square deal in his studies and from his supervior, when he himself says he is not a black boy. I think colored people make a mistake when they conjure up wrongs in their lives, and existing wrongs for them to exercise their feelings on. We do not need to be afraid of realities of daily life in America. Besides, it is tactically bad; if we make other color boys think that we are "impossible," the very boys are ambitious and best fitted to go there, will be unwilling to attempt to represent them, and Congressman Delfriest, to carry through his program of getting worthy representatives both in the Senate and in the House. While I would not have the young Negroes mugged by illusions respecting their appearance, I would not have them fooled by those benevolent liers who pretend that there is a handicap of color—still, would not add to the truth false statements that tend further to discourage them, if not absolutely to prevent them, from It is a terrible mistake to magnify the difficulties; perhaps a more serious mistake, in such cases as this, than a bit of minimizing of the difficulty. But we are not trying to make sure that boy in West Point or in Annapolis will find that he has to do a bit better than the white boys, in every activity, just as is true at Yale and Harvard. He will have to be a bit more deserving in order to get the same opportunities. But that is exactly what, Negros have to do all the United States, and what handicapped minorities have to do all over the earth—and all through human history. And if a colored boy goes through West Point successfully, he will still have to deliver a bit more if he gets up in the army, and may not get up all the unfunded orders. But I think they should have. If any Negros boy is going to succeed in all this, he must have the courage—and the tact—of the late Colonel Charles Young. We know that white sentiment inside a military school in America will not be smoked at all. If the government outside that school. But we will risk the assertion that the picked men at West Point are several points more decent and sportsman-like than are: the unpicked members of the herd outside of West Point. Yale and Harvard are both sections of America, and the place of the millions. They are selected portions; they are much above the average. Sixty-three white boys failed; one colored boy failed. In an uninfluenced letter to a friend, the colored boy sent a letter in every way. I will try the examination in March. The commandant of cadets was very much pleased to know that he was well prepared. We will let it stand at that and look forward. STEALS BLIND MAN'S COAT Mempis h. Tennessee—(ANP) the bandit who stole Fred Fleming's dress and who defended for the "manest man" at large. Fleming is fifty-five years old. Fleming was en route home when Fleming was on a train.

Teeth are specialised organs of the body used in masticating food, aid in speech articulation and give aesthetic quality to the individual, and considered the hardest of all the parts of the body. And if we notice how much we know of our bodies, we know who this and those of us who do not, we can readily see why nature is so good as to make them the hardest of all organs. Our conception from science is that in prehistoric days our teeth had such a hardness that of mostly all raw and coarse foods, that nature so fortified man for such fortunately for us we are due to have two sets of teeth in life (referring to nature's provision) and very unfortunate for some us that we don't The first or temporary (oftimes spoken of as baby teeth) consist of a single tooth, much attention as the last or permanent set. This temporary set is later replaced by a permanent set; the third set is replaced generally by the thirteenth year. The last or permanent net consists of thirty-two teeth and should be given proper care (care of the teeth will be discussed later). The teeth have different sizes and shapes, each in accordance with the mouth. Each tooth has a certain function to perform, and should be retained in the mouth as long as possible. And you should try to keep each tooth in a healthy condition in order that the maximum number of teeth health can be derived from the tooth. The premature loss or the delay in the healing of the teeth should be reported to your dentist, as this condition invariably causes damage of teeth, arch mouth and face. A large number of facial deformities are caused from neglect of what is being done. The loss of any of the permanent teeth should be immediately replaced by a form of dental procedure by your dentist. The longer a tooth remains out of the mouth the more inconvenience it will cause. If you do not do not lose the benefit of your teeth in masticating and not only do you lose the convenience of what we might term a perfect replacement, the more inconvenience of the teeth is to indicate our food. Then we should be careful with the kind of food we put in the mouth for masacration. Possibly one of the greatest enemies to our teeth is the soft or musky taste of food. This does not mean indigestible foods. This often quoted statement is very useful or else will be false to us." Chicago, Ill.—At a small breakfast party held in the red room of the Hotel LaSalle Wednesday morning, Ms. George Cleveland Hall presented the directors of the campaign to raise $3,000,000 for the Greater Provident Hospital Foundation with a cerebral palsy fundraiser for the Women's Amateur Minstrels. For twelve years, Mrs. Hall has sponsored a minstrel program by the Provident Hospital, and have been used to aid Provident Hospital. The check given Wednesday morning represents the largest single check the Provident Hospital have ever given to the institution.

Indinapolis.—The annual conference of department heads, traveling representatives, and salespeople of the Mme C. J. Walker Mfg. Company, has been held in this city. A program to make 1930 the biggest year in the history of the company, was outlined and met with hearty accord from the field force. The consensus of opinion of those in attendance at the conference and the business of the ditions are against and that the end of 1930 will bring net results in direct proportion to the effort expended. Several social features were provided by the Walker Company including a midnight Christmas party with tree, presents, and suitable program ending with dancing; a theatre party and an address to the Walker Walker, a conference are filled with good and have proved the generators of pep and enthusiasm that keeps the Mme.

Urban League Plans To Seek Employment From Gotham Stores New York City—(ANP)—Following its annual meeting at the local branch, the Urban League declared its intention of making a concerted drive to secure the employment of colored help in the many stores of 123th Street which so far have refused to protect the situation by employing Make New York City—(AND)—If the Negro simply controlled the stores in which he buys food, there would be 400,000 more jobs open to him, according to Alben L. Holley, secretary of the National Negro Business League, who in an address over radio station described as "the recent development of Negro chain cooperative stores throughout the country." "The average Negro of yesterday was three times more there with going to church on Sunday, and with wearing loud regalia in judge parades, but the Negro to-day is more than three times more with Mr. Holley." "The most serious problem facing the Negro is the lack of better than Negro yarn knitting opportunity." With 19,000 Negro burgers in our colleges there is a steady decline of better than Negro yarn knitting opportunity. This situation is infaced by the fact that the only white-collared men and women are those created by Negro themselves and that there in the city for every female enthused Negro. The National Negro Business League, Mr. Holsey pointed out, has been giving careful study to the problem, particularly in its relation to the Negro's buying power and possibilities. To meet the situation the organization, he said, has done three things: First, made a study of the great business; second, devoted its best annual convention to a serious study of the retail grocery business; third, organized cooperative stores. “Independent grocers are facing a crisis no matter what their race is, the Negro's annual grocers bill which amounts to $1,650,000,000, would be marshalled so that it was served by his own grocerymen, it would provide for 470,000 jobs, of which places we now have less than one tenth.” Tellinis of the growth of G.

Various plants were also crowded where these places would be located.

Those that colored men are welcomed into the union gladly. Mr. Wyche recently turned down a job to go to the construction workers in that city, giving as his reason the need to work. It is interesting to note that Mr. Wyche, a former man on commission, is the biggest project in the city, including the Hudson vehicular tunnel; the largest project in the city, including many other important projects.

DeWALT The asterm of criticism that has been provoked by that "Midnight Paddle" to Lowry's State Theatre is in no way an unfortunate moment. As a matter of fact, there was nothing new nor radically different about this back-door incident. All our lives we have been going through with back-door doors, except at a few places where we have had the special privilege of going through a side door, on occasions when there is more room than we have had, or white people, Mexicans and Chinamen. It is only natural that some of us should be prepared to face the side-door, a side-door-cap that we are unable to see the badge of inferiority and degeneracy we attach to, we are unable to arrange. Then, it is not surprising that we should thinkers and would-be moulders of public sentiment, justifying this back-door doctrine in the drug stores, barbers shops and other compulsive headquarters and other compulsive headquarters are hied by this relic of slavery and are more to be pitied than censur Therefore, the only surprising development is the attitude the general public has toward the bright light peddlers. Not many moons any these conditions were so generalized, and we can therefore existence that one who dared to denounce them could not get a qurum. We could not be the people at large against these back and side-door scribes denotes the beginning of a new movement whose most intense self-appointed pseudo-lender to the community of the many people who are engaged in old navy occupations are laying a firm ground in the community than many of our preschools, teachers, and grants agents. It would be a conical situation to see the children in the wilderness! Out of the wilderness we must come to know from those who are抓着 in the direction of slavery and place them in horry and fear. We must know the path of truth and hope by dangling a little bake before their eyes. It cannot be tough to assimilate knowledge—its usefulness depends upon it, the ability to lay the foundation of our status in lay the foundation of our status with some definite plans and specifications. We can not build at random and expect to get other than random results. For the benefit of those who attribute this article to mercenary motives, I wish to say that this factor does not enter into the equation—this is a legal matter that the courts must decide. If it is worth twice as much for you to go in a white man's back for you—and might use it for you to come in New York's front door at high noon, it is a matter that is to be adjusted solely with your conscience. The PRINCIPLE is the thing! The fact that I operate a theatre does not change this principle and its effect one way or the other. If you conclude that my motive is strictly selfish, the principle and effect still do not change the theory probably. I call several articles I have written in the same vein that did not concern theatres in any sense. The recent report thousands of dollars for the very best talking equipment and talking pictures the market affords. On this point, the report's written report must be not overstating�eristics. Of course, I had no mind that we were helping to make it possible for thoughtful self-respecting members of our race to escape the embarrassment of entering sides and back-doors on side and back streets to satisfy their appetites for spicy amusement. Hundreds of our people have taken advantage of this opportunity to become loyal to their sweetness. I am in a splendid humor, and it is not my intention to make anybody angry.—I am merely trying to make some people THINK. I know that we have the habit of doing things like a healthy and aimlessly but the reason why we should be the last people in the world to wake up and correct these suicidal faults. I know that most of the six or seven hundred people that prompted this action are among our best friends and subjects. This is a great challenge with the tide—without stopping to count the cost. It is not their nature to compromise themselves and their people, and they had not thought of it in this light. But the law of nature does not excuse ignorance or the whether to make some exact reaction for every action. The Negro is not sufficiently fortified to combat the senseless prejudices of ignorant members of other races and withstand the far more destructive results in his own ranks. We don't have to do so. We don't have to do so until we see all it. Let us figure out what to pray for, then pray!

CAMERON LEADER CALLED BY DEATH HELD MANY POSTS Cameron, Tex.—George W. Sledge, 69, pioneer resident and prominent leader, died here at his home January 16, following a long siege of illness brought on by declining health and advanced years. Paralysis, the fifth stroke to have been suffered by the aged leader, was the cause of his death. Mr. Sledge was a native of Mississippi but came to Texas with his parents when five years of age, landing in Mavafield and had spent 64 years in Milam County. Denied the advantage of schooling as most men of that day were denied. Mr. Sledge, possessing much native ability, made application of his talents, and soon acquired knowledge above the average and this achievement brought to him a position of leadership he had held for many years prior to his death. He early became interested in political affairs and also received a professional representative for the advancement of his people and was always a leader and counselor and his death has removed from racial ranks one who cannot be readily replaced. A Republican in politics he occupied a position of prominence in the party councils. He was chairman of the party in Milam County for over 20 years; a college student was the national intervention of the 18th-national district in 1900 and each four years thereafter. Funeral services were held at the Cameroon Grave Baptist Church, Jan. 16. The funeral service prescheduled the funeral oration. Many people of both races were present for the funeral program. The funeral service by his widow and four children: Willie M. Slodge of Milano, Mt. Theresa Johnson, Dalal M. Slodge, and Claude Slodge of Concord.

Chandler brought suit against the firm, all of the fees which Ingram had paid the firm, "upon a contract," as found by Judge Hutcheson, with "ingram having one-third of it if he gets it." The Circuit Court of Appeals, in sustaining Judge Hutcheson's decision, found the findings of the district judge that the charges of fraud, duress and undue influence by the weight of the evidence." The findings of Judge Hutcheson in part point to the ways in which that it is a bad bird that fouls its own nest, and it is doubled, that it is a bad bird that a license to practice law, is willing for a contingent compensation to its own owner, and that his former associate charges of fraud and raciality.

A dramatization of “A Day in a Senior's Life,” in which every department of the work of the high school was portrayed, furnished a novel and unique means of presenting all the usual features of a class day program, and yet displayed a marked departure from the staid custom of conducting a program of this nature. This drama was written and directed by Miss M. E. B. Issues of the department of English, and was highly complimented by those present. The music, under the direction of Mrs. Freddie L.

RICHARDSON, Jr.) Marshall, Texas.—A series of religious meetings were conducted here by Rev. Maynard Jackson, co-pastor of New Hope Baptist Church, Dallas. This was the first of the annual meetings to be held in the college for the purpose of deepening the spiritual life of the students and faculty. Rev. Jackson is a graduate of Morehouse and former student of Northwestern and Chicago universities. The meetings consisted of preaching each night; practical Bible lessons daily at 9:40 a. m., men's and women's forum. The subjects of his addresses were suggested for the most part by the students themselves by means of a questionnaire distributed for this purpose by the conductor. The interest of the students reached a high pitch, but was entirely void of the emotional aim that is often characteristic of such meetings. This practical spiritual meeting was much in keeping with the new aims of the present administration to develop its students in lines both religious and intellectual WILDCATS WILL MEET TUSKEGEE IN GRID BATTLE WILDCATS WILL MEET TUSKEGEE IN GRID BATTLE Tuckekee Institute, Ala.-Wis. *College-ele*, Marshall, Texas, will appear on Tuckekee's full football schedule, which will be announced by whom the announcement was made, considers it fortunate that this game will be the third Texas champions to come to Alabama this year.

When Your Cough Hangs On, Mix This At Home The best cough remedy has money could buy, can carry, be mixed at home. It saves money and gives you the most reliable, quick-acting medicine you ever used. The way it takes hold of stubborn coughs and chest colds, giving immediate relief, as astonishing. Any druggist can supply you with 21 ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle, and fill up with plain gelatin and sugar crisp or strained money. It's trouble at all to mix and when you once use it, you will never be without it. Keeps perfectly and tastes good—children really like it. It is surprising how quickly this loosens the germ-laden phlegm, and soothes and heals the inflamed membranes. At the same time, part of the media is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes, and helps the system throw off the whole trouble. Even those severe coughs which follow cold epidemics, are promptly ended. Pinex is a high concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creonote, in a refined, palatable form. Nothing known in the medicine is more helpful. In these of seven coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles. Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded. Mrs. E. S.

They are beginning with the children, the parents of the future. If parents of today will listen, these children will bring home much information and more suggestions which mothers and fathers may use for themselves as well as for their children. Now, when your child comes home, saying that a day has been spent by teacher in weighing and measuring her class, do not think the school has thrown away a day. Rather, get busy and see if your child is up to the standard by the weight and height chart for ages. This scale may obtain through the American Child Health Association's New York City. And, after finding that your child is underweight and under height, get busy and find out why. If you are sent for by the school hurry over, without delay. And, combining new knowledge with your own common sense, take steps to correct any errors which exist. While you are at the school you may learn that the reason your child minds no poorly is that he hears only half or less of what says or done. His nervousness is which has always annoyed you, teased out to be due to poor eye-sight and strain which may be relieved by proper glasses. The next surprise in store for you may be a new kind of note book which is filled, not with spelling or arithmetic, but pictures of vegetables, dairy products, fresh air ideas and the like. Instead of exclaiming: "What new fad next!" take an in-quest in it, read its plans for break-dats, dinners, and cuppers and to these out for the children. That's what they are for and give them your sympathy and understanding. Perhaps you may be urged to supply a towel each week, soap and a container for it. Will you crossly grumble, or will you express pleasure over the progress in education, when you pack this in the school kit?

Fourthly, they gave every theatre in the United States a Roland Hayes and wiped with him as he carried his race through the "Deep River" up to Calvary of Jesus Christ at the Crucifixion. White Americans saw "Carter O. Woman" with slightly before the hidden achievement of his race long to tell the world what the Negro has been doing in America during the war. They guild him the money to write the history of the race—to preserve its story of struggle and its record of achievement. They opened wide the door of science to George W. Carver and displayed their wizardry to the world. They have established the going of hundreds of other Negroes on the continent, a spiritual confrontation because they are the main Negroes are always talking about what white people have done to them. Some white people have done and some are still doing some mighty wicked things to Negroes, but some other white people have done and some are still doing more for us than we have done or are now doing for ourselves. Let's see what they have done for us. Two years ago Negroes were ashamed of their own music—Negro students in our university, led a result in the Negro Negro turned up their noses in the university. Negroes rescued them for us. As a result, the world weeps when Roland Davis is in its own wild, weird and plaintive noise. Secondly, white Americans discovered and immortalized Booker T. Washington for us; Negroes thrived there. White Americans threw boquets and sang to us. Tankweave would be a little more four school in the backwards of the town, where we learn how to work, and that's all we people accepted the new gospel of a cultural education as a thing of fundamental value, and tried to repudiate it.

Fourthly, they opened every theatre in the world to Roland Hayes and wept with him as he carried his race through the "Deep River" up to Calvary to see the triumph of Jesus Christ at the Crucifixion. White Americans saw "Carter G. Woodson sitting helplessly before the hidden achievements of his race longing to tell the world what the Negro has been doing." In the mecanical during the past three hundred years. They gave him the money to write the history of the race—to preserve its story of struggle and its record of achievement. They opened wide the door of science to George W. Carver and displayed his fifty-seven varieties to the world. They have established the go-long and hardness of other Negroes of age. These are spiritual contributions because they are the unintimated recognition of genius and the conservation and development of things that are of fundamental value in the life of the race and the nation. Let us drop down out of the realm of the spiritual and list just a few of the contributions that white people have made to the material development of the Negro in America: 1. They have financed all of our large schools and are now endowing several of them. 2. A. S. Truill all of our W. and W. M. 3. One city, Cleveland, Ohio, has given a Negro woman a million dollars for welfare work in that city. 4. White Americans have created all the foundations that we have to aid us in our upward climb. 5. White people have nurtured our national advancement association for 20 years. They are at the bottom of it. God grant that the bottom will never drop out. 6. They contribute three-fourths of the support to Negro charities. of the support to Negro charities. They contribute to the support of Negro organizations who have helped a million Negroes in a million and now they are giving us money and others for just being smart for our society. The 9. Quakers are backering our peace movement. They have these groups and principally give there is that anger and more sacred contribution that they are the army of abolitionists who died for their free. Their bodies are mouldering in the clay, but their spirit is marching. The American Negro was an overt enemy to three groups of nolo, clergy and fractionalized Americans: To the abolitionists for his freedom. To the conservationists for his help to glorify his native production. By Ruby Berkley Goodwin During the timing of Methodical War, the Kowloon was very important to the drama. "Halelujah," Harold Garrison, known on the lot as Slickum, rose to the height of assistant director. Then at a 10-cent filming of one of the Cohen books, the film of the book "Black" was called in and given a very important part in the picture. While Paramount has gone even farther by giving a bookback a long term contract, the film's first known as the "Cuse Kid" of Central Avenue, has been Pagamount's official bootblack for years. Every since the passing of that most beloved actor, Wallingford has been the first of the most well-known. Before that time he was valed for the great movie star and a bond of friendship grew up between them that has always been the talk of the studio. Described as a friend, and considered "Wally," when he effectively called, "My Boy!" Oscar had talked quite a while before I noticed the stuttering that won't contract for him. Topeka, Kansas quite a few years ago, Oscar cheerfully stated. "I was s-s-sixteen years old, b-before I could t-talk at all. I w-went to school tho' for I c-could like a good time. I was a whole lot. I remember one day I got a w-whipping. I was innocent of any wrong doing, but I couldn't say anything. I never blamed the t-teacher for Mr. Roundtree that that did-doing high. He was a life-old man. When Oscar finished the grammar grades he came west to Phoenix and for five years, he was a plant, a plant who has been on the roots of the fastidious in that town. Still being guided by the saying, "Go west, young man, go west," he left Phoenix and came to the town where he was cured work as head porter in Cookstee's barber shop. It was here that he met Wallace Reid and it was at this time he won the nickname, "Cute Kid." When Oscar was younger he was short and slender, now he is inclined to be a little rotund. For years it was a bit of a good thing for him, and he was times by day in a different and resplenident cutoff of clothing, from hat to spots. But with the pastime of years, Oscar's taste has quieted down the way. It was in the late 19th century and the late and he has acquired some very valuable holdings around and in Los Angeles. Since I have been on P-paramount lot, I have been playing small parts in the pictures—bellboys, w-walters, elevator boys. When Richard Dix made "Warming Up" I was the base-of-line team of "Black Suited" in the first place. It played the part of the faithful Sudanese servant. Sometime ago when S.S. Van Dine's "Canary Murder" is a sluttered, white-eyed, sluttered bell-hop who has for the part. That was the biggest role he had ever played. When the richard duon was the first place, he was the most neighborhood picture place the house almost became hysterical, laughing at Oscar, the frightened, wide-eyed, stuttering bell-hop, who has con光明 Par-sighted officials saw great possibilities in Oscar, so they rushed to him with a contract and told him to sign on the dotted line. Bootblacking may be a lowly profession and one despised by many, but Hollywood boothbacks have learned that "the way up is down," and they have been called in to work while many a white collar man has stood impatiently outside the Central Castle in office, waiting for a call that never came. 3. To the cooperationists for working with him and aiding in his upward climb. Let us give them a rising vote of thanks and remain standing—in gratitude and for new achievements. If we do this, the whites who have tried to keep us in the gutter will miss us and get up—too. Let us all rise and stand—and having done all—stand. Outward Neglect May Mean Internal Trouble Outward Neglect May Mean Internal Trouble BY ALGERTON B. JACKSON, M. D. (For The Associated Negro Press) What is the difference between a woman and an automobile? Healed woman and an automobile and the latter always is, there are many differences. But the remark men point to one similarity. "When cars are brought here dirtily, the woman gets careless about how the car is cleaned chronically," he said. "As soon as car owners get careless about how the car is cleaned, the woman grease and oil. And that means trouble." Who woman regrets her personal appearance is displaying a symptom of something more seriously than dirtily, the woman greases the dirt car. Bedridged hair, an unwashed neck, black-bordered hoodier coat, and greasy certainly mean it all, but they indicate that something may be wrong in a person's mind or body. The woman who has a daily tshirt or shower, who keeps herself daintily dressed, how she looks and known she is, is more aliveness that is the very essence of the woman about the food she食 about the health she食, and the balance of rest and exercise which keeps the human man healthy. Beauty, we have long since learned, is more than skin deep. But con- tinue to learn, we learn to skin and go deeper. There is a meaning for personal pride, as well as for cars and houses, in the familiar slush. "Save the surfboard and you save all." TOTS BURNED TO DEATH M e m p h i a.

PUTTING GOD'S KINGDOM FIRST LESSON TEXT - Matthew 6:1-14 (Print text: 6, 10, 12, 19, 21, 23) GOLDEN TEXT-Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you PRIMARY TOPIC—Being True to Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC - Being Loyal to Leaders INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC - Young Leaders AND ADULT TOPIC - Putting PIRAT Things Pirat Having set forth in the previous chapter the standards of the kingdom, Jesus now exhibits the underlying men to be among them. Doing before men before men is not condemned as that would contradict Matthew 5:16, but the doing of them before men to be condemned is not contradicting our slims is to miss the reward of our heavenly Father. The true child of the kingdom will seek privacy and have the open reward of the Father. II. As to Praying (v. 5:15) This constat is (1) Praying to be seen and heard of men (v. 5). Many of the prayers uttered in public are what the people think than of what God thinks. (2) Using vals repetition, we should ask once for a given thing. We have examples of Christ and Past praying three times for the people (v. 12, 17, 8). It means the using of meaningless repetitions. The reason is "Your Father knew what things you did to him" or "ask him." 2. True prayer (v. 8). Since prayer is a transaction of the people, the desire for fellowship with Him moves one to meet Him in the secret place. The model prayer (v. 9, 15). 8. The model prayer (vv. 9-15). This involves (1) Right relationship—"Our Father" (v. 9). (2) Right attitude—"Hallowed be thy name" (vv. 9, 10). (3) Right spirit—"Give us our daily bread, forgive us our sins, lead us not into temptation" (vv. 11-13). 111. As to Fasting (vv. 10-18). The true reason for fasting is to be found in the opportunity it gives for a clear vision of God. Those who have thus seen God will make it manifest in a joyful countenance. IV. As to Earthly Riches (vv. 19-24). The Lord knew the temptations which would befall His children in their earthly pilgrimage and the anxiety to which it would lead; therefore He set forth the proper attitude toward them. 1. The nature of earthly riches (vv. 19-21). (1) Uncertain (vv. 19, 20). Earthly treasures corrode, or are taken from us; therefore we should lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven where they are absolutely safe from corruption and from thieves. (2) Seductive (v. 21). Christ called riches deceitful (Matt. 13-22). It is not wrong to possess earthly treasures, but when earthy treasures possess us, they become a snare; unto us. Excessive attention should not be given to earthly treasures. 2. The effect of earthly riches (vv. 22-24). (1) Blunt the moral and spiritual perceptions (vv. 22, 32). Those who believe in the moral and spiritual world soon become irrespective to spiritual things. When the heart is upon earthy treasures, it is taken to heart and is sent up to the strum to spirituality. (2) They render null and all service (vv. 24). As soon as one's heart is stolen by an unkind instrument for spiritual service. V. As to Faith in the Heavenly Father (vv. 25, 34). You not know about food and clothing (vv. 25, 34). Because (1) it shows disgust of God (vv. 30), God is able to supply children's needs. (2) It is necessary to be faithful while bringing us nothing. It weaken our service. (3) It is heathenism that must trust God may worry over temporal affairs, but those who know Him as a loving Father, will be free from cancer. (4) We must seek the kingdom of God and serve Him (vv. 33, 34). This means that moral affairs should be subordinated to spiritual Seed Thoughts How often do we slap for opportunities of doing good, which we often do in our own little things, which would frequently lead to the accomplishment of most of our goals.

Louisiana, have been discovered in New Orleans, Louisiana, and have been studied in Charity Hospital by members of the staff of the laboratory of clinical medicine in the laboratory of other hospitals in New Orleans, it was learned, the cure can be effected by pasteurization of milk. The infection known as "malta fever" has been reported in pre-Christian days in Mediterranean regions, results in months or years of fever, and can be cure, the Tulane professor in charge of the investigation said. It is oocyte-graft from handmade of infected cattle or from contact with workers in the dairy, dairy owners, milkers, or any other individuals caring for cows, goats or other cattle with the infection. Malta fever is known to have existed in early periods from descriptions of Europe but was not introduced into the country. It was recognized in many parts of Europe but was not introduced into the country. The fever has been fairly prevalent in Mexico, Texas and other Western states, but has never attracted attention in this section of the country. Work has been started on the 88-mile Rock Island extension of the highway to $1,500,000.

Missouri Negroes have every reason to feel proud of the first-year record of Henry S. Canfield as governor of the state, according to Robert S. Cobb, secretary of the industrial commission for Negros of that common wealth. Mr. Cobb believes that in one year, Gov. Canfield has now received the interest in the negro education and has brought about concrete improvements. One of the changes the governor is responsible for that has helped Negros has been the modifying of the former state statute which required that fifteen children reside in a school district before a school could be opened for them. The governor's message urged a change in the statute and the number of children required was intended to give them more taxable provided, facilities for 4,000 more Negro children. The governor had the following to say in his message regarding the state university for Negroes: "Missouri State University, with splendid buildings and equipment and large annual expenditures, is provided for the white children. There is no university worthy of the name provided by the state for the colored children. If the latter would obtain an university's money, they must leave the state of Missouri." This is unjust and unrestful. As a result of this attitude of the governor, the general assembly made a request for appropriation than ever before for Lincoln University and in addition appropriated a quarter of a budget for a new administration building. The governor also appointed a commission of prominent citizens to study the institutions in the state and this militia of the state's dollar development program for Lincoln University to cover a 10-year improvement. Another improvement brought by Gov. Caulfield is the change in the crowded condition which used to the northwest corner in 600 miles. New cell house at the state prison. The greatest distance between eastern and western points in Texas is 850 miles from the extreme southern tip of Texas. The altitude range of Texas is from nothing (sea level) to 9,500 feet.

In this small town Mrs. Andrews, sister of the employer of Mose Morton, resided in the winter month. In fact, the experience was so unusual that Mose had stepped, almost before he realized it, into the spotlight of the state. All eyes are on him, and no doubt, before another month has passed, Mose will in some way be rewarded for his faithful services. It is known that the employer, Tom Wate, is now planning to surprise his A. B. MOSE MORTON, the unassuming young fellow, whose daring surprised and thwarted a dangerous thief. brave employee with a nice sum of money. For not only did he save the fortune in diamonds that were left in his hands, but he was instrumental in capturing the leader of the robber's gang, as well. Mr. Watee took his departure from the house, bound for a country dance, to see Moe. pearl bury, pearl kill. Moe nodded man, manifesting that he did not hesitate to die when the occasion came up a short while later. Just how Mr. Watee happened to learn that Watee was an employee in uncertain, but it is established that Watee is a jewelry valuables home with him over the week-end. But as that he was he moved to a house, with a foundation in the yard, flowers, summer houses, tennis courts and everything. And Watee had all his trips, with a foundation in his selling trips, in his possession. Some times Watee had to take back some gems that his customers bought, and besides them, he usually carried a fine display of samples. At any moment something like thirty thousand dollars in diamonds which he gave to Mose didn't step into. Waite's confidence over night. He had been working in the family for a long number of years. Mrs. Andrews had testified that he was completely non-test. Moreover, she had often spoken to her brother about Mose. She felt safe living alone there in that big house, with this venerable colored Idd to look after her. She believed that if the occasion presented itself, Mose would make the supreme sacrifice for his safety. Mose knew he was in the favor of Mrs. Andrews and this of course, put him in the respect of all the help in the house. Everyone had implicit confidence in Mose. Mr. Mose was going away. Mrs. Andrew was to be gone South for approximately three months, during which time the big house at Egypt Mills would be closed. In the meanwhile Mose was to be with Tom Waite, and he was packing his things to leave. Mose had a number of next morning when Waite stepped unobtrusively into his room with a black traveling bag in his hand. "Mose," he said quietly, "there's a fortune in diamonds in this grip, and I'm going to leave it with you to guard. Also, I'm going to give you a automatic pistol. Can you handle one?" Mose was not excited, although he could not help but realize the weight of the responsibility that had been placed on his shoulders. Mr. Mose was one of the one-time, but now she was much, sir," he confused itoutly. "But I can certainly try." "This bag is in your care. Guard it with your life. Don't let it out of your sight for a single moment. And—if any suspicious characters loom up around here, shoot to kill." The words went whirling through Mose's head. "Shoot to kill." It meant considerable to kill somebody. A human life was something that couldn't be given back. The gun felt heavy in his hand. Sure enough, he had the bag of diamonds. It contained a fortune in diamonds. And he had been instructed to guard it at the expense of human life. He heard the roar of a motor outside, knew the folks were leaving, heard the car thud its way down the gravel path. The sounds became muffled by distance, and eventually died. But completely. Nasty job, he had. But the orders he had received had come from the man he respected and worked for. Mose felt that he was duty bound. They might do anything to him, but as long as he lived, they couldn't take to bag of diamonds from him. The band of robbers made their headquarters in the railroad tunnel (pictured above). Three of them waited here while the leader slipped up to the home, believing that the black robe would frighten the escaped kid. The band intended to hide the diamonds in a hole made in the wall of the tunnel.

"All the other help had gone to the dance," he said. "Nothing to be heard, the wahper of the wind, and the crank of a board he had been using. The board having named this strip above the garage door that morning, to stop up a crank through which snow sometimes falls." He carried the black suitcase with him. There was an enormous fireplace made of crude stone, and a large log in the grate, burning cheerfully. Here Mose stood, with the mantel of the fireplace being above his head, holding the gun in his hand. He set the grip down at his feet. But waiters he did know for what. He was waiting for something that he had, in other words, one of those nerve-racking presentiments. Hours passed swiftly until, suddenly, he heard a sound at the front door. It was shoved open. It slammed back against the wall. A picture was carried off, clattered to the floor, broken in many pieces. A strong draft of cold air swept through the red walled room. Then came the sound of alithering feet. Mose knew somebody was approaching him. He whirled about. His revolver was ready for instant action. Mose cursed himself for leaving that door unlocked. However, it was the custom of this community to leave the front door locked. “Stop!” Mose shouted the command to halt. But the dark bulk continued to advance toward him, drawing nearer and nearer. Then, without waiting, Mose fired twice. The first bullet cut the robed figure to his knees, the second cut him to the floor, but while he was on his knees, the man in the bed was off. The man was shot at his op- content, sending him staggering into When Mose fell into the grate he hurried his hands. His clothes caught fire. He fled for Mose had picked it up before firing a shot. But he managed to remove himself from the flames and the fire had taken the fallen man who had worn a black robe and opened a door without seeing what was inside. He had carried out the orders that had been hastily flung at him. He had killed the man. He was caught. black robe, making a little crime line against the black silk. Yes—Mose had a close call and a terrible experience, but he obeyed his employer's instructions.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1981 1100 W. 12TH STREET, HOUSTON, TEXAS MIDNIGHT RASTUSES ON DEFENSIVE The Informer has been informed that several Negroes, who送 their racial self-respect and stultified their manhood and womanhood by attending that midnight back-door show at a white theatre here recently, are advancing the argument that they went to this all-white playhouse, under the cover of darkness, of their attendant another jim-crow white theatre in this city, where Negroes are forced to enter and depart from a special door. The Informer holds no brief for those members of the race who attend another jim-crow white theatre in this city which makes any provisions for black patrons, for this paper's position in the latter matter is well known to the reading public. In the case of the athletic contests at the City Auditorium, all the spectators, white and colored, men and women, enter and depart from the same door, and purchase their tickets at the same windows. Our observations in the South, there is less evidence of racial prejudice, jim-crowism, segregation and prescription at athletic and sporting events than is manifested in theatrical playhouses and churches of worship. As for this sole jim-crow white theatre, the Informer has contended that no sensible and self-respecting Negro should attend his show for the reason that he does not meet some few years back excluding Negroes from the theatre on certain days and nights of the week. When this exclusion order was promulgated and enforced, The Informer was the only newspaper in Houston that raised its voice against such a discriminatory policy, and urged the Negroes to demonstrate some self-respect and show their resentment at such treatment by excluding themselves from this theatre on the ground. Such advice fell upon deaf ears, and hundreds of local Negroes packed and jammed themselves in this theatre on the "allotted" nights like sardines in a can; and, when the exclusion order was revoked (due to several other white剧院es here and reducing the white attendance at this particular theatre) some local blacks staged a wild demonstration, rejoicing that the ban had been removed and they could attend this theatre every day. Did these Negroes resent the treatment which this white theatre had accorded them and theirs without cause? No, they offered apologies for such action on the part of the management of this white theatre and then employed considerable of their time informing their friends when the exclusion edict was rescinded! The reason why the Negro race is treated so shamefully in this country, and especially the South, is largely attributable to the Sambo antics and Hambone capers of so many blacks, many of whom try to pose as race leaders. Small wonder, then, is it that the race is making such slow headway with such spineless, backboneless and namby-pamby leadership, and with such shallow and silly reasoning. Yes, those local sons and daughters of Ham and Hagar had a direct right to attend the theatre at that location, at that time, and the fact that they disgraced themselves and their race should not enter the equation, according to their argument. A man has a perfect right in this country to go barefooted or wear shoes, but whenever we observe a man in public without any shoes on his feet, we begin to doubt his sanity and often adjudge him a fit subject for a lunatic asylum. In fact, only persons lacking in certain skills have the right to attire himself in any apparel which suits his fancy, but if a man should appear in public attired in a dress or some odd clothes, he would be arrested and either fined or committed to psychopathic ward! The same thing would happen should a man or woman exercise his or her "rights" and appear in public in his or her birthday clothes (nude and naked). The excesses and people become more civilized and enlightened the exercise of many rights and privileges encourage and defy certain existent social customs and usages, and the person who violates certain rules becomes amenable to the codes of society. In the absence of certain written laws governing and regulating the personal conduct of men and races, common sense is impaired and what is the proper, sensible and intelligent course to pursue. This is one lesson the average Negro has not learned yet and after he has "cut a hog" or acted a pure dullard and brought reproach and contempt upon himself, his family and his race, this same Sambo-Hambone-Rastus species has the brazen audacity and hold affrontery to attempt to justify his actions and defend himself under the guide of "inherent rights" and "personal privileges." Hush, little Sambos, dry those tears You'll be "darkies" for many years DEFINITE ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN When the news leaked out here during last month that some official at the City Hall had issued an order prohibiting Negroes from working as clerks in the fish and oyster stalls in the City Market, this drastic and arbitrary action was called to the attention of the City Commission. Just what the local commission has done in this matter, has not been made public yet. The informer takes the position that the matter is of sufficient grave importance to warrant speedy action on the part of this body, and that the white leaders of the movement should see to it that this imperious order is revoked. Who issued this order and who authorized its issuance? Did the mayor and city council pass an ordinance forbidding certain citizens, because of their color, from serving as clerks in the City Market? If the council took such official action, why did not the daily newspapers mention it in their columns? The council council of any City. His functionary the power and authority to issue the eligibility and availability of the employees of stall merchants and dealers? If such an ultimatum can be issued and executed barring Negroes as clerks, can not an order be issued barring Negroes from the City Market altogether? The success of one discriminatory and confiscatory effort generally emboldens its advocates and proponents to resort to further extremes along this and other lines. If Negroes must serve only in mental roles in the City Market and must stay hideous like customers by council action or connivance, why can not this same body or the same despot, who issued the original exclusion order, designate certain days for Negroes to shop in the market and set aside special entrances and exits for the colored citizens of this municipality? If Negroes can be stopped from serving in certain capacities in the various stalls in the City Market, what will prevent the issuance of an order that Negro drivers of trucks and wagons will not be permitted and carry products and merchandise into this municipal building? Having directed its first blow at Negro salesmen in the City Market stalks, who know but what the next effort will be to dislodge all Negro employees from this market? Since the white fish and oyster dealers, whose business has been based on the seafood market, have no effort (as far as is known to the public) to test the legality of such an order, Houston Negroes can show their resentment by buying their fish and oysters at some other place; for, if these white fish and oyster dealers really appreciate their large Negro trade, they would resort to court action to determine and ascertain the legality of their business. Knowing that the average Negro is so submissive, dole and asinine, these white fish and oyster dealers are working on the assumption that they will lose few, if any, colored customers as a result of this autocratic and despotic decree, and thus they reason that it is not necessary for them to take any action in this matter. There is a fundamental principle involved in this arbitrary action of either the city council or some municipal function, for the highest legal tribunal in America has ruled that no city, district or state can enact and enforce class legislation. Not only are the constitutional rights of Negroes involved in this matter, but the constitutional rights of American citizens, black and white; and the Houston Commission on Interracial Cooperation has a fine chance to do an excellent piece of community work. Involving as it does the abrogation and mullification of certain definite and fundamental rights of American citizens, the Houston branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People should also manifest some interest in this case, because the law has never been issued and confidence edict—the like of which has never been issued before in Houston's long and varied history. DOWNTOWN FISH MARKET NEEDED Whether Negroes are to be permitted to serve hereafter as clerks in the fish and oyster stalls at the City Market or not, the fact remains that colored Houston needs a downtown fish and oyster market of its own; for local residents of color purchase and consume large quantities of seafood throughout the year. Having been accustomed to doing most of this kind of shopping downtown, their trade grew to such proportions that several of the white dealers in the City Market employed colored clerks to serve colored customers. Besides respects, Houston is still on the village order, where most of the people "downto" to buy their wares during the week-end, and records show that Friday and Saturday are banner seafood days in Houston. The Informer would like to see an experienced fish dealer and business man like J. W. Fore, who has been engaged in the retail and wholesale fish and oyster business for more than 25 years, open a nice seafood market on Milam Street, with fast, free delivery to all parts of the city. Prior to being issued a place should prove a mighty fine within a comparatively short period of time; for, while some of the Negroes, Sambo-like, would still patronize the ungrateful fish and oyster dealers at the City Market, there would be enough race-loving and self-respecting Negroes left to support such a racial business venture. As a matter of fact, the Negro race will not get very far until it operates and operates its own places of business, thus obviating the need for a race-loving and empowered team of ten heaped upon the race in places owned and operated by members of other races. To demand and command respect, men and races must acquire and possess those things which other men and races respect; for neither sacred nor profane history records where a begging, hat-in-hand, me-too-boss race ever enjoyed the respect, confidence and goodwill of other races. The same Negroes learnsense and stop "fattening frogs for snakes;" for the Holy Writ says that, "the that provident not for his own household is worse than an infidel and has denied the faith." Solah SOME MORE SILLY MONKEY TACTICS According to a recent news item released by the Associated Negro Press, New York City's two colored aldermen are such bitter foes that they elected a white alderman as Republican minority leader in the city council of the American metropolis, rather than see either of the black men land the post. It seems that there are only four Republican members of the New York City board of aldermen, and the two colored aldermen, while they do not speak to each other, supported one of the two white aldermen rather than bury their differences and subjugate selfishness and pride and make it possible for a Negro alderman to serve as minority leader in the city council. The ability to selfishness and downright foolishness of so many Negro leaders, the race is too often made to suffer many setbacks, disappointments and defeats. No race can hope to attain its rightful place beside the other great and powerful races of the earth, as long as it divides its forces and runs off on tangents; as long as its leadership pursues such a silly policy and engages in a lot of monkey tactics. The race can be defeated by the leaders for the good of our racial cause, and it is the time the people call a halt and repudiate all leaders who are retarding racial progress and blocking the group's journey to a better land and brighter OPINIONS AS TO GENERAL SMUTS A BY KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C. General Ian Christian Smuts is touring America as an unofficial British statesman. Like Col House, he was ambassador at large without any particular assignment. Like all of the World War statemen, he has suffered the most fertile mind in the world functioning in public affairs today. As general Ian Christian Smuts, he is the group chief among English soldiers to subdue him. Being subdued, he became the greatest statesman in the British empire. He suggested the federation of the British colonies into a sort of spiritual union. The Legend of Naan peace on earth and weaker breeds of men are the children of his fertile brain. The general's final word was that justice and patience were our main reliance in finding the way out. He said he was not present. Dr. Moton who summed the case for the group showed his usual balance and calm. Space will not permit me to give the group the opportunity toicipating in the conference. I doubt whether the group could be duplicated, either within the Negro race or among the true blues white philanthropists. I doubt whether the conference deeply impressed with the feeling that General Smits, in his present attitude, is a true stateman, trying the best he knows to pro-tect on earth and goodwill among men.

Recently he delivered his仆役 to the natives with the future of the African natives on his own heath. The sum and substance of his policy is that the natives must be rigorously segregated and encouraged under the white man's tutelage, to develop his peculiar gifts and skills, to learn different from the alms and ideals of the lordly European. How this can be done without exploiting the poor natives into hopeless impotence, General Smuts does not engage to dissect the natives' social structure in this new gospel according to Smuts is that it does make some sort of sinister recognition of the human nature of the African aborigines, instead of regarding them as merely addicts to aid and power division and love to the white lords of the earth.

One might be disposed to wonder why this erwildle, ruthless and reckless statesman, as far as the black world is concerned, has so suddenly come to the South African who, until now, has never risen to the level of his august *statemanalike* regard? The answer is easy to read by those who can discern the signs of the times. The struts which threaten its continuance. India is in the throes of a peaceful revolution under the moral leadership of Gandhi. Egypt has broken away. The South African native is restless. Bathsheba, the queen of Britain, is threatened with disintegration. The great experiment in Russia makes the working world uneasy. The salvation of the British empire depends upon making the world more breed of men, as well as with the strong and mighty white overlands of the earth.

And so the great general and stateman deeds to discus the race question in the United States. His first attempt in New York was too tough for the Afo-American hearers. Even more tempered temper Dr. Moton expressed regrets at his yoking the Negro with the ass. Dr. DuBois challenged him to a joint debate. The Negro press him "through Afo-American hearers." Changing the subject, we wish to acknowledge receipt of the National Baptist School Lions Club Conference 1980.

A carefully selected group of the Negro inroads the university distinguished white friends and well wishers were invited to the conference. The Philips-Stokes Foundation was the host.
