FOR LIKING NEGRO
Miami, Fla.—(INS)—Characterized as a "dangerous radical" because of his alleged association with Negroes and because he is alleged to be at the head of a group of communists in this city, David Weinberg a 44-year-old Jewish tailor was taken from his home last Tuesday night, beaten, gagged, and given a coat of tar and feathers. He told the writer who interviewed him, that three men attacked him after entering him to leave his residence. He further stated that, after disrobing him and applying tar and feathers to his body, they tied him in a white hooded garment and tossed him from an automobile at a downtown street intersection early today.
After having been treated at a local hospital Weinberg was removed to the city jail on the charge that he had been too friendly with Negroes and had distributed communistic literature to the Negroes of the town.

Judge Jones announced that plans of reorganization have been completed and insurance society among our clients will be used to liquidate the organization. The assets of the old organization will be used to liquidate the insurance society to approximately $800,000.

New York City.—(INS)—Recently developments in Germany have demonstrated again that Negroes are not the only race in the world which stands in danger of suffering at the hands of racial prejudice and bigotry. The recent election in which the Fascist Brown Shirts achieved second place in power in the Reichstag por-tends evil for the German-Jew. For if the Fascists ever get control the Jews face the following portion of that party's platform: (1) All Jews who have entered Germany since August 2, 1914, would be expelled; (2) the term "Jew" would mean anyone whose ancestors practiced the Mos-salic faith after March 11, 1862; (3) Jews would be banned from service in the German army or navy, and would pay a special tax by reason of this "exemption;" (4) Jews would not be admitted to schools of higher learning, either as teachers or instructors; (5) sales of land to Jews would be void; (6) Jewish-owned news organs would be compelled to state that fact in their front-page headline, printing under it the symbolic Mogen Dovid (Star of David).
Victim Exonorated By White Warden After The Lynching
Thomasville, Ga.—(INS)—Georgia, the banner lynching state in the world, again has demonstrated that what it wishes most is not to punish, even by lynching, guilty Negroes who commit crimes that do not appeal to its white citizenry as being such as to entitle its perpetrator to a regular trial by the orderly processes of the courts of the state. And Georgia, true to its ideals of civilization, has lynched another innocent Negro.
Recently in this community a young girl reported that she had been attacked by a Negro. Immediately, as is the custom, the orderly processes of government adjourned, so far as this particular matter was concerned, and hundreds of self-righteous white men decided that the unspotted integrity of the law was at stake, and that justice would be thwarted if they did not rise in all their customary hate and vent their spleen upon some poor Negro, guilty or innocent.
So the mob was quickly formed and proceeded about its mission. As time
DIXIE PRIMARY SYSTEM WILL BE INVESTIGATED
Lincoln, Neb.—(INS) The indecisive battle has happened. Southmen once bore of congress have always insisted upon recruiting every other section of the population, every law of the land, but have likewise insisted that it was nobly business what happened in the South. This has been true of the districtral committees, known primary system. As long as the senate campaign funds committee is known the North, West and East, things are inevitable that all improper elections of congressman, whatever the improvement or be investigated, frowned upon. It could not be expected that the senate would elect a group of its members a election of a group of its members under a system of complete diffrence of voting population. And the inevitable has happened the activities of a Ku Klux Klan grand dragon through the national primary, the senate campaign funds committee left here today to require in the North Carolina and the South to be represented in North Carolina the members that in North Carolina the members that in everything in his power to prevent Negroes from voting in the primary elections, and went down to禁忌 defeat before his more tolerant enemies.
Senator Gerald P. Nye, chairman of the committee, said that the committee that it had not been decided to investigate first. But it is widely complete, investigation into the prereligious investigation into elect students under systems which are in direct defence of the decision States and the Circuit Court of Appalachia.
ANOTHER STATUTE
IS UNVEILED IN
HONOR OF LINCOLN
Dixon, IM.—(INS)—Unveiling of a statue to the immortal Abraham Lincoln and discussion of the part which Lincoln played in the life of Illinois and of the United States, was a part of a recent four-day centennial and home-coming here. The statue, a large bronze likeness of Lincoln as he appeared as a young captain campaigning against Chief Blackhawk, in the Blackhawk Indian War, is by Leonard Crunelle, who did the work at the expense of the state.
The Rev. William E. Barton, nationally recognized authority on Lincoln, delivered the dedication speech. Among other things he emphasized the great social and economic value to America which the emancipation proclamation had been, and how impossible it would have been for the Southern states to achieve their present measure of prosperity and development had slavery continued.
Texas tax values for 1930 are $4,280,498,578 for the year. Real values are more than $12,500,000, increase of $2,649,000,000 in the past eight years or more than $300,000,000 a year.

was of the essence, and impelled by their slogan that some Negro's blood must be shed in the shortest possible time, the mob went immediately to a convict camp nearby, arrested Willie Kirkland, a 20-year-old Negro lad who was serving a sentence for horse stealing, and carried him away and lynched him. Kirkland was hanged from the limb of tree in Magnolia Gardens, a suburb about a mile from the heart of Thomasville.
The warden of the convict camp in which Kirkland was arrested remained silent while his prisoner was being dragged away, and made no protest against this ruthless determination to shed some Negro's blood. But the next day, after Kirkland was dead and on his way to whatever place he may be resigned, the warden gave out a statement that Kirkland was at the camp all during the day upon which the girl was supposed to have been attacked; and that in fact they had lynched the wrong man.

IN NEW JERSEY
TRY TO PLACATE
NEGRO VOTERS
IN NEW JERSEY
Trenton, N. J.—(INS)—Anticipating what may happen in the November senatorial elections, in which Dwight W. Morrow, ambassador to Mexico, is the Republican nominee, the leaders of the Republican party in New Jersey, led by Governor Morgan F. Larson, are very much concerned over the attitude which Negro voters of the state may take toward the candidacy of Mr. Morrow. This matter was discussed at length at a recent conference in the governor's office, at which, among others, there were present Senators Hamilton F. Kean and David Baird.
As stated by the governor at the end of the conference, the difficulty arises out of the fact that the two United States Senators had voted in the senate for the confirmation of Judge John J. Parker as a member of the Supreme Court of the United States, and that it is common knowledge that the Negroes of New Jersey were very displeased at Kean's and Baird's votes. Governor Larson said that, while they were quite disturbed over the possibility of a defection of the Negro vote to the Democratic candidate, State Senator Alexander Simpson, plans were under way to placate the Negro voters and to keep them thereby in the ranks of the Republican party. The governor declined to state the nature of the steps which would be taken in this direction.

WHITE LAUGHTER

INSTALLMENT FIVE
The hot days, which were bearable by the languorous loveliness of the cool nights, glided by with dreamlike unreality. Carl quickly became accustomed to the ways of the Baris plantation, and even found himself enjoying the slow, rhythmic beat of the life surrounding him.
Although he had not been able to successfully work with the rest of the life, he found this to his advantage in some ways, as his taciturnity inspired a respect from the workers that enable him to carry on his work with little interference. However, he found himself highly popular with both the young and the older women. His very reserve seemed to be their imagination. The same of the young girls, especially Elmira, seemed to be contesting for his favor. By now Hotabet spent most of his spare time, even the evenings, with Big Sally, and Carl was much alone. At first he had been a little shocked by his friend's going frankly with the big woman, but the young was as he was under the workings of the social system on the plantation.
In the North this free and easy manner of living and loving would be called immoral, and yet, Carl asked himself, were these people who lived together frankly and openly without being married any worse than some of the "society" folks he knew who were constantly involved in the man and woman. The same folk merely obtained the dictators of their desires, who was the worse for it.
He had met a woman on the place who had been "with" her man for a couple of years, and proud of their three children as any married couple could have been. They lived together quietly, and they improved themselves, just as anyone else did. They method of reasoning regarding what he had been taught to hold as rank immorality was no let down in his mind. He knew that he self that the fact that he had not taken advantages of the many chances for adventure offered him, was amused.
Temptation
In this respect, Hotshot told Carl that he was a fool. "Better take on everything that looks good to you," he had advised. But Carl hadn't, although on some of the lonely, glamorous nights he had spent sitting on the doorstep of his little cabin, or walking to the moonly woods, he had been greatly tempted to seek Elmiwa or Melissa, or some of the others who had displayed a willingness to receive his attentions.
On these poignant nights he thought of the distant, lovely Antoinette, and his future in Chicago to be more consciously more, he found himself dreading a letter from his banker and friend, Anton Bigal, bidding him to return to Chicago and to a job in the latter's bank.
He asked himself why this was, but could find no answer. He found himself still gripped in his self-pursuit. That could not define or understand. Momentarily he expected something to happen—something which would be unlike the experiences of his past life; but day after day melted into the next, and the interesting but humdrum life of the plantation continued through a long journey after dark. One night Hotshot came to Carl's cabin. "Boy, you shouldn't hang 'roun' this yere place so stiddy," he remonstrated. "Why you don't come on down to 'th' sconchn in groun's with me 'night?' Sally's Bud," he continued a little chagrined, "has done come back, and Sally says she better shall have a day er two fo
"Sally's Bud is likely to whale the dickens out of you!" Carl warned laughingly. "I hear he's what you might call a tough customer."
"The tougher they air," Hotshot declared, "the easier they is to carve!" He lit his corn-cob pipe and puffed for a few minutes in silence. Then he said: "Well, how 'bout comin' on to the sconchin' groun's, Carl? We'll set back 'mongt the trees and jes' look on. How 'bout it?"
Carl arose to his feet and stretched his arms skyward. "Sure, I'll come along. Hotshot," he agreed. "Why not?"
...
"If I could holler like a mountain!" Jack.
If I could holler like a mountain jack.

Carl and Hotshot sat deep in the shadows outside the big cleared circle. Within the enclosure a huge fire blazed brightly, throwing into bold relief the cluster of dark faces surrounding it, or casting gigantic shadows past those who danced in close embrace to the strains of a throbbing

and dance and sing until the moon was
howling. "You like how it looks." Hothot

shakty laugh. "It gets me all intrigue-

When he spoke there was longing in his tone, although he strove to hide it. "Aw, I ain't so periclider 'bout clownin' with them guys," he disclined. "Our there's wak'in it's dog like that." Then he asked, "Why you don't get out there and have some fun you're, boy!" I heard a bunch of husbands of the men, "I think about you to take." Hotshot, chuckled, "that you should be." "They're silly," Carl said shortly. "And besides," he said, "Oh, they think you're hinty- diety sort of too."

The gancer wore a thin crimson garment of calce that displayed the falsome curved beauty of her young body. As she danced her eyes darted over the rapid faces of those who watched her, and in them was something which every man who saw, took to be a personal message to him.
Back in the shadows Hotshot nudged Carl significantly: "Boy, 'ats th'g al what thinks you're hot stuff," he cried. "Now ain't you got a break?" he said. "You're a lot of a break?" he continued. "A good put㎥ sth. through the tense, and some of them were ed away from the tire. The dark gas his thin patched blue shirt sho his python-like muscles moved ward Peco slowly. "What is the way I'm going to do to 'out hit�?' he asked again.
The youth thrust his hand quite into his pocket, but before he draw out his knife Bogo buffeted the smaller man sprawled on ground, motionless. Elmira served, then leaped at Bogo, clawing his face. Bogo pushed her away.
"Why?" the youth ejaculated in surprise, "why should they think me up." Well, I reckon it 's cause you talks like that. "I can't help how I talk. Hotshot." I can't help how I talk. Hotshot. I wish I could talk—like they do. "That's funny," his companion said, like you, 'an here you are within you could talk like me.' He sighed. You could talk like me.
"Come on out here, Elmir, an hake yi hign haw, I am come, on elea alone, and pats ye fool!" The girl to whom she were told the gift was colored, with heavy, lustrous black hair, and an earband, showed friendliness for Carla. She sat at the edge of the fireplace, known women's arms. She smiled bald, then uncoiled her hands and came to the center of the fireplace, grinned so proudly that his gold teeth flashed in the firelight. She took it, baby, he admonished. The movement of the girl's body drew abilient inhalations from the men. Then an owl appeared, increasingly in the narrow space. The giant one-eyed, sensual chords of the bark, drew deep, slow, sensual chords from his instrument. "Play that thing, One-Eye" a man

The agancer wore a thin crimson garment of calico that displayed the fulsome curved beauty of her young body. As she danced her eyes darted over the rapt faces of those who watched her, and in them was something which every man who saw took to be a personal message to himself.
Back in the shadows Hotshot nudged Carl significantly: "Boy, 'ats th' gal what thinks you're hot stuff," he cried. "Now ain't you got a break?"
The Bully Admirer
Carl laughed. "I'd probably get my head broken if I gained up to her that that big husky boy friend of her is nobody's plaything."
"Shucks!" Hotshot cried disdainfully. "After I seed you smack that big gang boss down I ain't scairit to put you up to anybody on this yere plantation!"
"Just the same, I don't have any desire to go around battling—especially over women," the youth told him.
They were silent, watching the pretty ivory-skinned girl finish her dance. When she had done, her brawny lover got to his feet and came toward the Wins she had almost� her head. She had almost from a place close to the fire and stood in her way. The man was a veritable giant, and with the greatest case he lifted her from her feet into his great arms.
Peco, who had started to meet her, has been acutely, then his broad visage contorted to the only answer.
"Bogo, you let my gal be," he cried loudly. "The big man set the girl down deliberately. "You speakin' to me!" he asked, "I grin for you. Please speak, although nervously." He was. Just 'cause you big as the side of the girl, don't think that any girl can speak. You asked, 'What can you calculate' to do 'bout hit?' Bogo asked in the same colossly dangerous tones he had used "I let you be pep!" Emrai cried "I am. Are you let me be, too, you big age!" Bogo pushed the girl behind him with a careful movement of his hand. The growl second the IH had grown.

The youth thrust his hand quickly into his pocket, but before he could draw out his knife Bogo buffeted him on the head with one huge paw, and the smaller man sprawled on the ground, motionless. Elmira screamed, then leaped at Bogo, clawing at his face. Bogo pushed her away contemptuously and strode through the quiet group.

"That big gorilla is gonna be got some of these days on this plantation," Hotshot muttered.
"Well, let's you and me stay out of it," Carl said. "He's big enough to Hick us both."
"He don't bother us, us don't bother him," the little man said with forceful lack of elegance. "But he don't like you cause die Kunnel Barre done made you weigh out in th' fiel's. I notice him look at you kinda hard the second day ole boss man made you boss-cotton weigher. He want to be foreman, and I 'spect he figger you gonna beat his time."
"He needn't worry," Carl said quietly. "I've got almost enough money to get back up North. I won't stand in his way."
"The Kunnel'll be sorry when he finds out you goin' to leave him," Hotshot mused. "He done took a now'ful likin to you. He look at you kinda funny and call you 'Son'."
The Ultimatum
"The Colonel," Carl said slowly, "is a lonely old man. Mammy Sue, who has been in his service a long time even back in slavery days—told me the same story Gene told that when he was born, he lost both his wife and the baby she was bringing into the world. She told me that the family physician couldn't be reached when the child was about to be born, and that the Colonel blamed this young child doctor—and ever since he was the son of the son. He has had no life for white people—especially what he calls 'poor class'." He also treats us'n fine. He pays mo' fo' pickin' cotton than anybody round here in this part of Louisiana. " I think he is really fond of dark people, even though he sometimes can't be called names which they don't like," Carl put the word as "well as the call, " Aw, they don't be here. " Hotshot declared disdainfully. " Where did you come from, Hotshot?" Carl asked.
The little brown man hesitated, then he's called, "I'm I'm Omaha," he said drily. "That is, after they run me out Texas."
By this time the fire was almost deserted. Its dimming glow was a red eye in the darkness, and the moon was hidden with heavy clouds. There was little chill in the air. He had a little� of redness about to arise, a huge shadow loomed up before him. It was Bogo, and the fumes of the rotgut liquor he had been drinking preceded him.
"Say, you weigher," he called out. "What do you want, Bogo?" Carl inquishes. "I don't know to go in his feet silently, and Carl followed."
"I wants you, that's what I want," the big man spoke out of the darkness truculently. "I want you, with me, with me" Car asked, a little less friendly.
"I want you to leave this yere
vanation," Boeg grated, his heavy
weight, heavy foot in the stillness. "At
I want you 't leave a run-ainn...

should I leave?"

WHITE BUS DRIVER
IS DISCHARGED AS
UNFAIR TO NEGRO
Springfield, Mass. — (ANP) Vigorous action on the part of Councilman Alfred H. Tavnerier resulted in the hiring of a bus driver, because he practiced racial discrimination on one of the New York City buses. Councilman Tavnerier informed the transportation board that the practice of racial discrimination by bus employees had been going on for some time, and the case which brought matters to a head concerned Norman Johnson who had been hired by Johnson was intimidated by Perrone, who left the bus at Window Locks, rather than run the risk of mistreatment at the bus station. The incident to the attention of Mr. Tavnerier led to the transportation board membares expressed disapproval of such tactics and viciously unintentionally harmed a bus in this territory.

POLICE AVIATOR
IS STILL JAILED
Los Angeles, Cal. (ABN)—The initiation of 12 aviators into the Los Angeles Police Department with approval of badges at the municipal airport, brings to the mines of the city Negro and the first flying cop of any race in the United States, to jail where for several months he has been waiting for action by the aviators.
This is Maceo B. Sheffield, no 4 years ago completed his flying lessons, received his license and purchased a plane. With it he gave exhibitions at local public affairs held by colored citizens. A fearless, resourceful flyer, he only had one mind when he occurred when taking over a small rough, three-surrounded space, in Watts on the occasion of the ground breaking for the Hefin furniture factory. Zooming up to gain quick altitude and avoid the trees, crowd and power wires, he turned completely over, his ship falling on its back. He miraculously escaped with a few scratches.
Ace Foreman, now dead, by drowning, who attended a cross-continent-at flight in 1927, received coaching from Sheffield and frequently accompanied him on his flights.
Sheffield's greatest distinction came over a year ago, when over a long list of white applicants he was detailed to pilot a municipal ship conveying photographers making an official air survey of Los Angeles. Los Angeles County and San Perdo Harbor.
Through the dangerous air currents that rise from the tall downtown buildings, he flew the ship low over the ground, the time coming as he would smash against a roof or make an unhearsaled entry into someone's office window.
The fear held by the underworld for him made him many enemies and is said to have caused his downfall. During a cleanup in police circles a year ago, a number of officers and city officials were accused of extortion and bribe taking. Sheffield was among those accused, tried and found guilty. Since then, most of the others have been released, but Sheffield is said by many to have been made the goat.
Nevertheless, his lawyers took an appeal and sympathy has begun to turn towards him. He still has a good chance for freedom when the case goes to the high tribunal. During his incarceration, the former lieutenant, who is well educated, has been writing the memoirs of his adventurous career for a local weekly.

A view from an enthallatic crowd. Trout and a handful, Coach Sam Taylor Jr., 1930 season by defeating the Houston Junior College Cats by a score of 15-4. Gamer, both team rosters to reward, having the edge in all departments and the former "Covinella" all-state quarterstars. His debut and shared honors with the Panthers will be the most important ground gainers for the Panthers. Mack and Hughes shone on the Panthers, who would-be Panther runners behind the Panthers will meet the strong defense of Blackhawk Fife October 10.

The 1980 edition of the Phillis Wheaton football team will officially open its football ovalball Saturday, Oct. 4, 1980, at 5 p.m. at Monarch Park 4, 160th Street, at Monarch Park. The Wildcats have been going through their practice sessions with much difficulty and have been pointing to a scrapping port despite the fast that Coach Cowan lusts for the strong Port Arthur Panthers. The Wildcats have been going through their practice sessions with much difficulty and have been pointing to a scrapping port despite the fast that Coach Cowan lusts for the strong Port Arthur Panthers.

BISHOP GRIDSTERS
HOPEFUL OF VERY
SUCCESSFUL YEAR
(By C. F. RICHARDSON, Jr.)
Marshall.—The stock of the Bishop Bears 1930 gridiron aggregation approached par, as "Ramona" Turner, stellar tackle, "Big Smithy" Smith giant tackle, "Parson" Perry, and "Red" Marshall, diminutive but ferocious end, reported here for duty. In spite of these additions the hopes of the Bishop adherents are far from being promising as championship contenders.
Coach Harvey has firmly decided to refrain from predictions as to the possibilities of his proteges. "We will have a tough and hard fighting team" is the usual reply to all queries. In a scrimmage between the varsity and scrubs, the varsity won by a narrow margin of two touchdowns. The varsity line failed to show the strength that has been so noticeable in past seasons, but it is thought that the Coach has a trick or two to show to the boys from Philander Smith College when they match wits with the newest edition of the Bears here Oct. 4, on Bishop Field. A large crowd is expected to attend the first game of the season for the Bears.

Tom Jones played in the attraction of the Central East Texas catwalks outplayed the boys from Houston to a slight margin, and Coach Wiley halfback and the former Long, deserves much credit for the remarkable way in which he has given the Wilders counted late in the second quarter, when Coel Jones, with successive first downs at right and left, broke through by "Streak" Evans and "Gee-ee" in the third period, when "Golley" Combs broke through to block a kick off the ball on the ball for a touchdown. Aside from these two flares of superiority they then on even terms. Jones, Johnson, Combs and Evans performed for the locals, while "Han" Hughes, Len and Orlando stand out for the visitors.

His address in part follows: am intensely interested in the problem of the South, the South, and I sincerely desire to make whatever contribution I can to the South, and I sincerely desire to make whatever contribution I can to the South, and I sincerely desire to make whatever contribution I can to the South, and very necessary to its health should just be an interest in the progress and development of Negro as an white man.

"In these trying times of depression, those who serve most, regard them as their greatest asset, most. These are days in which we have our fellowmen and in our community, the leadership among Negroes has a great opportunity to help them to give the best that they have to the solution of their own problems and the problems that arise. There is no race on the face of the face of a leadership has greater opportunity.

One will travel on English-owned railroads in Cuba, and what the English will do is half as good as "third class" travel in England. And yet the "first class" train fare quarer a parlor car seat in the United States—more than five cents a mile—rather more than five dollars a mile. The car is about five-seventh of a mile. Two soldiers are on the train, and the car is traveled on each train. Walks up and down on station platforms, time of war. Small businesses do well, but they are a kitchen on the train, usually located in one end of the second car. Its counter and be served, or a rather inviting-looking individual will bring your car to on ad-hoc travel in your own car.
Cuban money is the same as American money, for American money dominates Cuba. The everlasting "National City Bank of New York" can be found in every city, having devoured bodily the old. National Bank of Cuba. So the Cubans coin a dollar in silver, and one-cent pieces, and twenty-cent pieces known as pesetas. The pesetas as the common coin in Latin countries, and so there are no 25c pieces. There are ten-cent, five-cent and forty-cent pieces, being respectively half-pesetas, quarter-pesetas and two-peseta pieces. As the Cuban dollar and the American dollar are kept at same value, thanks to American control, American money is passed and accepted as readily as the Cuban, even American pennies. And the Cubans make no paper dollars at all; the American paper dollar is the currency of Cuba.
The Cuban likes the free-and-easy way in doing business. In the United States, if a fellow refused to "sign on the dotted line," we get suspicious of him and call the deal off; in Cuba, if you ask a fellow to "sign on the dotted line," the chances are that he will get offended and you lose a customer or lose a trade or deal.
There is no segregation by law in Cuba, although Cuba has more colored people, in proportion, than the United States, and more than in many Southern states. The schools are all for everybody, and that means teachers also. You find colored teachers and white and mixed; and colored students and white and mixed, in public schools. Some blessed Americans have started some all-white schools, here and there. The city band, playing twice a week in the park, as in Clenfuegos, will have white, mixed, and coal-black musicians in it. All the hotels are open to all in such a pace. (Americans have started discriminations, which have grown worse in Havana, where Americans frequent, than in other parts of the republic). There is voluntary segregation in most social clubs: the colored

club, the Spanish club, and the "white" club. The reason why "white" and Spanish are different, is the fact that the white club is exclusive from the newer whites in the army; in no "colored registration" in the army; in no "colored registration" in the club; in perhaps %65 colored and black. Then some white manis tell you that most beef in mind that "white" means in Cuba; almost all light-aimed animals in the mixed bloods, of lighter skin, are white. If one parent is black, coal-eyed, light, and the children are light, those children are "white." When any children are colored, the monitor will ask any brown skin, whether he wants to be put down as colored, or such person choose his color.
Also in Cuba, among Cubans, you are famous, or rich, or powerful, and you are "Kid Chocolate," champion black boxed, or you are "white," for all practical reasons. There are green ripe oranges in Cuba. The stranger hesitates to buy them, thinking they may not be good for the skin, or prove to be the golden ripe, like other oranges. The green-skimmed orange seems to be the best. The green-limed or green-skimmed orange is the substitute for our "American lemon," as they call a regular lemon.
With all its peculiarities, there are attractive things about this country. The most important sentiment; a business place will have an art-name. In Cliftonville, a saw is built at a school called "La Opinion." In Santa Clara the railway station woman who was a charitable benefactor, and in New York City, that in New York City, instead of calling one station the Peninsula Station and the other the theatres el one "Sarah and the other the famous females of New York history. To appreciate the phenomenon of Cuba, and his remarkable family, especially his mother, one must come here. Also he had a good look into the schools at Santa Claire. And about things I may find time to write, short.
PORO COLLEGE IS
WINNER IN SUIT
FOR TRADE MARK
Washington, D.C.—(ANP)—Judge Bland, sitting in the Court of Customs and Patent Appeals here this week ruled that Morris Max Horowitz could not register a mouth wash which he sought to register under the name of "Molo." Although mouth lotions are not in the same class with the toilet preparations sold under the name of "Poro," the court ruled that the items are similar enough to fall under the ban which the law puts on "merchandise of the same descriptive properties."
The judge also ruled that "under the well-settled trade mark rule there may become confusion by the use of two similar terms and doubt must be resolved against the newcomer. The newcomer has a wide choice from which to select without entering the field of one whose business is known."
“Molo,” a mouth was, breath purifier, and throat gargle, had been used since 1923 and is sold in drug stores.

DEFORMITIES CAUSED FROM
LOSS OF HARNS TEETH.
LOSS OF HABY STEETS
The temporary, deciduous, baby teeth, and a number of the two, a very generally make their appearance between the ages of the fifth and twenty-fourth months. They begin to be replaced between the fifth and thirteenth years with what is known as the permanent or last set of teeth. It is frequently mislabeled as being the first of the 40s. The normal tooth should come out when they want to or at will and be allowed to decay until the pulp or nerve of the tooth is exposed, thereby developing an abscess and its attending dangers. This idea is prompted solely due to the lack of knowledge of the ill effect these teeth are in the facial outline or health generally.
There is a proper time for the loosening of each of these temporary teeth and they should be preserved in as near a healthy condition as possible until that time arrives.
The removal time before the physical time of its loss means the shortening of the arch of the mouth, a crowded condition of the teeth to follow (permanent) due to lack of development of the arch, a protruding chin, a raised upper lip, protruding upper teeth, malalignment of the lower teeth, and many other life deformities that you see daily that is due solely to the lack of attention to these baby teeth.
Nature places exactly the number of teeth in the mouth that will take care of the body at that age, then it is up to man (parents) to assist me keeping these teeth in healthy condition.
To avoid these deformities you should as soon as the child presents you to your dentist to see if this tooth is in proper position; if it is present let your visits be at least each three months, and your family are present let your health be until their proper time of removal, it will also eliminate the false beliefs in the minds of a large number of children, and enlarge the dentition. The enemy the dentist. While it is young and tender and you and the child will forever remember the small time lost. And the need for extensive dental care will be increased instead of that facial deformity whether noticeable or not to your health. To change to the individual health it will be change to a thing of beauty and joy.
Every woman is entitled to look her best under any and all conditions, and no woman can be satisfied to be herself unless she feels fresh and full of normal energy and all. Men never admire weak, alluring women, for such women detract rather than attract. A strong, healthy, vigorous woman never falls to wipe admirable glances from men as well as women and men.

CUBAN DAILY HIGH IN ITS PRAISE OF WILLIAM PICKENS
Havanna, Cuba.—(ANP)—“De la Marina,” leading daily paper of Cuba, has published a picture of William Pickens, with a biographical skgtch, and a three-column interview by one of its staff writers.
The writer opens by saying: “Whoever is looking for a demagogue or an empty-minded agitator, can pass by William Pickens.” The article then goes on at length to discuss the fighting qualities of Mr. Pickens, against segregation, lynching, disfranchisement, and the promptness and effectiveness with which he took up the fight against the threatened exclusion of United States Negros from Latin-American travel.
The writer also gives a long account of the work of Mr. Pickens with "La Prensa Negro" (The Associated Negro Press), in which A. N. P. is

NARCOTIC FIEND ELUDES
GEORGIA JUNE 2010
Atlanta, Ga.—(INS)—Since November, 1927, despite the fact that several special officers have been on the lookout for her, Maude Anderson, known in Georgia as the shrewdest narcotic peddler in the state, has been successful in keeping out of the way of federal agents. It is said that she uses a rabbit's foot to throw the officers off of her trail. But last Wednesday night the foot seemed to have lost its power and the elusive dope peddler was arrested by Narcotic Agent A. D. Stevenson. She was placed in Fulton tower to await trial on an old narcotic charge. She has not yet made the $1,000 bond required for her release.

Federal agents who made the arrest state that they were offered a bribe of $8,000 by the men, to turn them those and allow them to complete unloading the boat.
Fred Robert Brown was the Negro member of the ring, and his associates were B. B. Hillery, alias Harold Jones; George Fuller, John Wilson, John Monday, Fleece Oliff, alias Leese Wood, and Wilson Arngh

SHERMAN LYNCH INSURANCE HEAD CASES PUT OFF TELLS OF NEGRO TILL NOVEMBER BUSINESS TREND
Dallas—(INC)—Following the usual procedure in similar cases throughout the South, the train of the Negro lawmen lynchings and with healing a riot in connection with the burning of a man, May, which were originally set for the city of Dallas, have been reset for sometime in November. He was the first time in the history of the American republic when a mob was so bent on wreaking vengeance upon a Negro whose guilt for the murder of a woman iscence is generally believed that it was the result of a downing the very temple of justice itself, it was felt that the culprits in the crime would be spared civilization would be spared brought down the bar, trial and conviction. This was distinct surprise to all those who encountered the view that justice would be spared. At the time of the lynching and the burning of the court house Government officers sent to protect the Negro and to preserve order "not to give the men, women and children glainted with evil as the mob took charge and vented their anger."
FALL TERM BEGINS
AT TEXAS COLLEGE;
HOUSTONIAN DEAN
Tyler.—The regular fall term of Texas College has begun and officials of the school are well pleased with the prospects for a successful term. The opening exercises were marked by the very inspiring annual message of Dr. C. C. Owens, president of the college, which was listened to with great interest and enthusiasm by the student body and the large number of visitors.
Among the alumni who were present at the opening was A. G. Wolfe of Dallas, who was accompanied by B. W. Patton. Mr. Wolfe donated $1,000 to the endowment fund of the school. Texas College has a well trained faculty for the coming school year. The dean of theology is Dr. R. H. King of 1702 Gillette Street, Houston.

While he burned incense, which is typed of prayer, the multitudes prayed to him. He preyed in the sight of the child (vv. 15-17). He must be preyed in the sight of the Lord (vv. 15).
Though the people did not greatly esteem him, he was highly esteemed. He should drink neither when strong drink (vv. 15). He was to be held in a separate, searing room where he could eat things and dine testing himself unto the Lord (Nlm p. 16). He should be used with the Holy Ghost (vv. 15).

Although the priest was敏ently prayed for the salvation of the people, the angel which was the beginning of that salvation staggered his faith.

Birmingham, Ala. —(INN) —D on Tom from Alabama, "the Negro生气和 reactionary senator from Alabama, is not no jabbar than he is Heflin. It will be remembered was he prevented from seizing to become the president of Alabama from participation in primaries of his state, and was there prevented from seizing to become the president of the seminal election to be held in No. 44. Engager by the Emperor by the election of the party which and beforeso honored him by Heflin announced that he would be an independent candidate for the nomination, and which he so much coves to retaliate.
Realizing, however, the difficulties involved in an attempt to break down the state, and knowing that the state and novel approach to his problem, Don Tom conceived the clever idea of creating an "unhunny" alliance with the Republican party. The result was the popularly as popularly the Republican-independent party to the position of senator and Hugh Locke as governor and to "disrupt the years." But even this far before he was badly for Senator Hefflin, when it all said and done, Don Tom attempted the subservience of the Republican party in Alabama to his attempts to subservience of the Negroes in the larger cities. As soon as this proposed alliance the Republican party with Tom Cannon took over the chief of the affairs in theington. Especially did they instigate or approval to this strange combination in Alabama. The result has been that the Republican leaders have turned the crowd and the combination which they have used to disapprove of Democrats or Democrats of Alabama have given a disappointing response to every effort to unite them.
So, despite the fact that the Hoffman-Doake combination is sending fury to the Republican leadership, insisting upon the "debt of gratitude" to the state for its efforts in behalf of the Republican presidential election in 1888, from Alabama seems to be rocky and bleak, indicating to him only the unwelcome sign that, an November vote would be a victory for the parties of his couch about him and his political objection to slavery, to political objection forever. Texas has more telephone and telegraph and railroad mileage than any other state. Texas has assessed property value (1800) of $240,000,000 and real value (1800) of $240,000,000.

BLACK SHIRTS, BLACK HEARTS AND US
Rumor has it that the Black Shirts, sinister organization with offices in Atlanta, Georgia, are responsible for the dismissal of Negro workers in two Los Angeles clubs which have used Negro labor for many years. Likewise, the same organization is given credit for the brutal beating of a group of Negro bellboys in Florida hotels and the warning to others that they will be similarly dealt with should they continue to work. It is not rumor only that indicates that a carefully organized crusade is being waged by white workers to supplant Negroes in all of the jobs which they now hold. Pleas of white support for their race work in some instances. In others, threats and intimidation operate. In still others the boycott goes on while the helpless merchant or worker is forced to work. In some cases the groves in the jobs which they now hold. The work is backed by money and the effort is well organized. What will the Negro do about it?
Hereford the race has just waited and watched. It has marked time with here and there a protest from the Negro press. In many cases the situation has come to the point that the leading Negro businessman has been forced but never before has it happened that the living of the Negro was as definitely threatened as it is being now by this work of the Black Shirts and their sympathizers. It is natural to suppose that the crusade will wear itself out over a period of months. But such a supposition does not seem to be the case in the capacity which will be done during that time. And the Informer feels also that the time for passive compliance with conditions as they are has passed. If the Negro does not now rise to the rescue of his own economic independence and assert himself in the defense of his own bread and meat, he will never be able to sustain a slave in this country where he never been but half free.
The struggle for a living has become acute. Mexicans, poor whites, Negroes and all others are competing with each other for the opportunity to earn a living. The difference between the two groups is that the former is the problem as an individual and not as a group. He is not organized; others are. The Informer has it on reliable authority that there is a group of Mexican employment agencies reaching from Brownville to Chicago and that through this agency, an employer can help on a monthly basis, sort of labor, and be sure that they are of the type which will stay as long as the job lasts. That is not true of the Negro. He comes in ones or two and stays just as long as he pleases and no longer. He has no organizations through which he can work. That is why he finds it feeling that "the Lord will provide." That situation must be changed. There must be organization. There must be concerted action if we are to survive. There must be less fighting among ourselves for things which are of little value to us. There must be less fighting among us if we are to keep our places. Slavery will not be as far away as it now seems if organizations like the Black Shirts are allowed to function without any protest in a concerted way. Safety lies now in realizing that a crisis is at hand. In union there is the hope of continued economic safety.

The Houston Informer
A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER FOR ALL THE PEOPLE
WILL THE SENATE INVESTIGATE NEGRO DISFRANCHISEMENT?
Senator Nye is making a name for himself in the investigation for Congress of all classes of election irregularities. In recent weeks he has been constantly in the public eye for his investigation of the campaign of Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick; and Mark Sullivan, writing in the New York Herald-Tribune, indicates that the most explosive questions of the Negro participation in primaries in which Negroes are not allowed to vote. Says he:
Whether Senator Nye's investigations of senatorial primaries will extend into Southern states is one of the most explosive questions of Negro participation, rather to be described as Progressives and Radicals in Washington, New York and elsewhere. What this group has in mind is to use the Nye committee as a means to open up the debate on the question of Negro participation—or, more accurately, non-participation—in Democratic primaries in the South. That issue, carried to the end to which some persons want to carry it, would question the right of at least ten Democratic senators to the New word comes that the primaries in Tennessee and North Carolina will be investigated. How far will the investigation go? Negroes in the Southern states will do well to collect all of the facts possible and be ready at any time to do all in their power to keep the Negroes in keeping jobs as a
The Republican party, the first and only political love of the Negro en mass, has begun to pander to Southern prejudice and to court the votes of lily-whites. In proof of that fact we offer the Democratic party has split itself into so many factions. The Democratic party has split itself into so many factions. likelihood of there being an effort on the part of some of them to encourage the voting of Negroes. And most of all there is a constantly growing number of Negroes who are learning that the party is not the party to be trusted, spite their blind following of it for the past few years and they are striving in ever increasing numbers to ally themselves with other parties. They are realizing that they will do well to let naked Negroes vote in the primary elections and ward the help of themselves who govern them at home. This is wise and the end is not yet. Here is hoping that Mark Sullivan knew of what he spoke, and that the Nye委员会 we make their investigations of Southern primaries full and complete.
HELPLESS OR HEAVENLY HOUSTON
For a long time now Houston has been called "heavenly" by those who have sung its praises far and wide. Many of them have been members of the race. And from the standpoint of a place in which to make a living and to accumulate, there can be a lot of work to do. They have been when thought of from the standpoint of the ability of the Negroes of this city to get together and to do worthwhile things in a collective way, there is some doubt of its "heavenly" qualities. Of course the fault lies only with the members of the race and the various of enterprises of enterprises which have not yet found the advantage of their position, which would give them contact with each other in helpful ways. Let us look at it for a moment. Just what sort of picture does it present? And in painting this picture, the Informer only hopes to call attention to the many opportunities for improvement which are going to waste because of the lack of college education. The Informer thinks the thinking members of the race together in a group at any time during the year. Doctors may have their organization, dentists another, teachers another, working another, postal employees another, welfare workers another, and so on, but as a result of the lack of education, there is no contact between these classes of workers and citizens. A call for a mass meeting brings out only the immediate friends and sympathizers of those interested in the call. A public cause may be discussed within the confines of homes and limited groups, but there is little concerted public action to be found because of the lack of education in the various groups have not yet found a way to come together.
And what has been the result? There has been leadership in groups and cliques for the past few years. There has been a great deal of petty jealousy and criticism of movements which have been strong in the past and good. There has been a constant strife which shuffled itself in the men and men and things which should have received the acclaim of the group as a whole. And it has been true that the "if I didn't start it, it can't be any good" idea has worked to such an extent that cooperative action has been hindered. And to the extent that the people have been less interested, that is Negro Houston. And that should not be so. Houston has more Negro property owners than many of the Southern cities of its size and kind. Houston offers more worthwhile employment to Negroes than any other Southern city unless it is Negro Houston. And that more buying power among Negroes than any other city in Texas would be power should the guarantee of much more in the way of progressive procedure than it is. Money is power in America. Collective action is to be preferred to the ability of individuals to get what they as individuals want. The time has come when it is Negro Houston to be the power to any single Negro. We must learn that we can rise no higher than the lowest ones among us. And the raising of the lowest ones will depend upon the collective strength which we all can muster to fight for them in every peaceable way. Let Negro Houston cease to think in individual terms and begin to work for the people. Let those who essay to lead, do so with such a will that all will be constrained to follow by reason of the collective benefits which are the goal of all striving. Let the ideas of petty personal jealousy give place to a desire to work for the good of all. Let there be more points of contact between leaders in the various areas on all questions of public interest, we can show a united front.
NATIVES PUT OUT OF JOBS
BY AFRICAN GOVERNMENT
Johnsborough, South Africa—The extraordinary length to which the Anglo-Dutch population of South Africa extends is the black man as a mere household chalet is indicated by the new proposal in regard to the "poor" black people. The color of the color bar bill, the South African government has launched a scheme to subsidize employment of whites in jobs at present held by naked men, women, and agricultural and other unskilled work. The latter fields of labor are at present experiencing a rapid increase in the number of industries are unemployed. To do drive thousands more to these fields merely drives them to misery and starvation.

In addition to the benefits already stated, the Modern Order of Mosaic Templars of America offers to its members an educational fund for the junior members of the order, an old folks' home for the aged, destitute and decept members, an orphans' home for the children of deceased members, an employment and unemployment service bureau to aid members in keeping jobs as well as getting jobs, a free hospital and free sanitarium in Phoenix, Arizona, in charge of a specialist.
Social or Honorary Membership Offered
An outstanding feature of the Modern Order of Mosaic Templars of America is the offering of social or financial benefits to those who do not wish to carry the insurance and to those who are not of insurance. The order is open to all, regardless of age, to become members and to avail them benefits offered the regular members. There are thousands of our group members who benefit from the sentimental reasons, a large number of them are the older age. The offering of social or honorary membership will make it possible for them to afford a national reputation for the exemplification of the principles of fraternity by its members toward one another.

Homely Philosophy
'Life's pathway is an incline on which you are other climbing or slipping down,' for verily one never travels on a level in life, there is always a continual improvement or looking, growing better or growing worse. When you are apparently standing still, you are loosing ground. It is well to occasionally survey your path, be sure that the path stalls upward.
Cimbee's Ramblings
Deer Lee:
I had gin ter blevee dat di wun wun fall dat I wuzent ginster he bothered wid no hay fever, cause I had dun wint awhine de thru munt w Sepelinal wildt hiver hirng sneezin spells heh I has ever year. But I was ter beadly disperseint. Long bout Satdy morino. I gins ter sneez jice lick an billy song an awl threw Satey an on thru Sundy an Mundy. I ticks ar mermey an he bed off. I mawn wig big breeze enjigu uv day Sunday, an cum ewer brakyn my back in 2. An ever sense I bm ginrew in or weed beds.
Es yuzual everybody I meets an dey fines out, dat I'm is sufrin vid dat dredful zease, dey gins me er bran nne rimidly. An uv cose i has ter try it out. No wunder I keape so fur berhine wid my financial oblergashuns—tryin ter git awl de nucures fe dis furnul hay fever. I sum times sets down an runs back over the short life tryin ter see whut tii I dun sumtimes w'en I wuz yunger dat put dis cuss on me. O, well I gess sence I aint by myse'f in dis grate suffrin, I kin bare it er fue mo yeens. In lack I doan see no way outen it, sep ter dye outen it, an de Lord nose I ain't reddy ter do dat yit.
Well, Lee, dat big brither er mine is still hear, an ef he cum down to res I'm is aho sorry fer him. At nites he looks so wore out, at I hates ter look at him. He wint down ter Galvestun Mundy an kotched crabs awl day and at after spindin awl day Satdy at de sirkus, an so Mundy nite he looked lack de las rose uv summer. He tickuls me neer'l ter deth tryin ter pertind ter no awl de fokes dat nose him hear. An after of foke's, the de's deckes he can get the "further who's a'd at man. He thinks fokes'll think hard us him fer not noin em. Lack how cool innybody no fokes dat dey ain't seed for 23 years.
Say, Lee, what you think about any dis linchin data bin, gwine on in dis kuntry dis yeer. What you think is gittin inter dese wite fokes innyhow? How kin yu erkount fer de fack dat atter awl dese yeers dat de wite men an cullud mens has lived hear in Ermericker dat dey kaint git erlong no better tergether. W'y is it dat de wite fokes ain't mad up dere mines yit dat sence de black fokes hepped em termaik dis kuntry what it tis, dat dey woan treet em lack dey is hmin heins? I lays in my bed at nites an tryz ter figger it awl out, Lee, has what tis erbut us black fokes dat maiks us so awful tryin on de wite man's nurves. Taint cause us is black, I no. Cause dere is other dark fokes hear in Ermeriker, dat gits de fulles teckshun uv de law Taint cause we ain't tride ter lurn ter liv lack de wite fokes, cause is lurnin that hessan wite erlong. We is dast bill, heks an ch'ches twell thes em bofo awl over de kuntry an awlmos in ever lil pig trale, an yit we is still linched. Taint cause we doan bleeve in de saim God dat dey taut us ter bleeve in, cause we sho sho sines uv havin mo faith den inny other rare on urth. Den wy is it, Lee?
Dey tells me dat er kermishun is bin pinted over in wun uv de Suthern staits ter maik er study uv de causes uv linchin, an I'm is hopin dat dey will soon let me no what sishun de cums ter. I'd jis lack ter no de reczun dat inny write man'll giv fer linchin wun Ermerikin fer din sump in dat dey woan evun down ea match es git riled w'en ernuther man uv er diffunt race kermits de saim fence. Sum fokes wood try ter malk me bleeve dat de w'ite man is try ter keep de blacka from gittin inny sence uv manhood in his sistum. But w'en I sees awl de skools dat dey bills for us black fokes, I caint bleeve dat dat is jis de reesun. Den sum uther fokes wood try ter say dat de w'ite man jis matchilly hates de black fokes, but caint see it dat way, spesherty w'en I goes down de streets an sees so minny ha'f w'te fokes. An hatrid never did bring ha'f breeds in de wurl. An den I nose dat neerly ever w'te man has his onn "Nigger," dat he thinks is as good es inny man on urth. It's jis er hard nut ter krack. Lee. I jis aint smart ernuff ter un'erstan it, tawl.
Andey tells me awiso, Lee, dat de Ermerlikin witeman is carryin dis prejudis over in Urup wharever he goes. Tryin ter maik de hole roun wurl 2 hot ter de black man ter liv. An dat seems ter be er puzzl ter de Uropeans. Dey doan seem ter unerstan how de black man wuz good ernuff ter fite an dye on de battul feel wid de Ermerlikin wite man, an now he ain't fit ter liv in de saim town wid him. He, de black man, looks awr rite, an acks awl rite ter de Uropeans, an dey counts dereveses purty smart fokes, an its er kernumdrum ter dem how he, de black man, eant ack ter suit his Ermerlikin bruther.
Well, I ain't specktin ter liv long ernuff ter unravel dis deep mistery. But I wood lack ter cum baik beer in erbout 200 years from now an hear how it awl cum out. What wuz brung erbut ter settul dis awl importan quaschun. It boun ter he setulled samway an austime. Dis kunty can't go on, Lee, Iam in this now an in wuwers, the men no dat. No hee we'en its awl wurked out. Do black man ain't gwinter be run onts Ermeriker, an dey ain't gwinter be abol ter linch us awl, an neother starwo us all ter doth, so I'm in still wugdrin how it'll awl cum out.
