OUR PHONE NUMBER IS PRESTON 1243 NUMBER 30 SAYS CONGRESS SHOULD SUPPORT NEGRO SCHOOLS Washington, D. C.—(ANP)—Expressing surprise that Southern members of Congress, men who profess such great friendship for the Negro race and refer feeling to the ties of youth that bind them to colored people, should object to provisions to foster education for colored boys and girls. Oscar DePriest, Illinois, made his first speech in this session of congress by laying a gentle board on the heads of Representatives Wood, rum and Byrns of Virginia and Tennessee, respectively. Debate centered around the appropriation for Howard University. The sub-committee, led by Mr. Cramton of Michigan, had recommended that in addition to the $180,000 to be appropriated for salaries and maintenance, the sum of $400,000 be induced to be made for the education of the final cost of which would be $90,000. Mr. Woodrum, Virginia, moved that this amendment to the bill be struck out, arguing that Congress has turned down proposals to increase the salaries of federal employees, and had made other slashes, in order to meet the emergencies caused by the present employment situation. Mr. Brynspoke in the same vein. Both gentlemen expressed their warm regard for the Negro and the hope that their remarks would not be understood to be prejudiced. Mr. Murphy of Ohio, spoke eloquently in favor of the amendment, telling his colleagues that the Negro were not the people who had been and that the federal government had a responsibility to care after him which it ought to recognize. Mr. Cramton, Michigan, who has been Howard appraisal, pledged two minutes of his time to Mr. DePriest, who expressed himself as follower of the committee. If an appraisal to issue the unemployment situation as a bill of this bill to appropriate $400,000 to construct a library at Harvard University they have for these people of mine in the Southland, where most of them their failure to give them an opportunity to become better citizens and NEAT SUM GIVEN AT BENEFIT FOR CITY'S JOBLESS NEAT SUM GIVEN AT BENEFIT FOR CITY'S JOBLESS On last Sunday at the City Auditorium an unemployment benefit program Jennifer Jaimie Taylor and Taylor Club and the Hound Defender.

It swelled and died and swelled again over nearer and nearer until the very tree-tops seemed to quiver and re- spond to it. Then—it ceased as sud- denly as it began. Like an answering cry a strange throbbing sound began. It beat through the abrupt stillness like the smothered thump-thump of a giant heart irregularly spaced and strange- ly as it began. Before a man could run two steps he had raised the bow and a small red winged shaft sped through the air into the shadow. It struck with a dull muffled thud at the same in- stant that Northington leaped for- ward to the place where the small square of grey-green cloth began a violent fluttering. Before he cleared the space, a long ulating cry split the air and went echoing and re-echoing out into the forest. PAGE TWO WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE John Northington, young adventurer and graduate from Howard University, will try to help him by his friend and college mate, Ranon Müller, millionaire of the famous objects and countrymen, his fiancee from the hands of his fathalic ancestors, the fiancees, Dolores Raniver, the fiancees, having been warned by the message of the attempt, and knowing that the attempt, and knowing that the temple to reach and warn Ranomer, is in time to suck the poison from Ranomer, guard and they make their way to the opposite side of the river where Ranomer can hear the sounds of the torture dance and know Ranomer is guarding them to make their escape after the sounds tell Doleo that all is over with Ranomer, and are changing the "evil one from the village," find a pigeon and after killing the sentimental and striking him from Northington at the paddle, is started by a guttural cry and sees a pair of eyes peering from the underbrush into Northington at the paddle. SECOND INSTALLMENT .... John Northington's hand was stricken into frozen immobility for a single tense minute. The next, a wild-eyed, half-naked figure plunged out of the undergrowth and dashed, stumbling and morning inarticulate cries, directly toward the watercraft. The last stumbling leap carried him into the shallow water separating the pirogue from the shore. A great, ugly black head reared out of the oozing mud as he passed. Sharp saber teeth cliched, ominously. A shred of flying grey-green cloth was left waving like some sordid flag of victory between the monstrous jaws, as the head sprawled again into the slime. The stumbling, plunging figure reached the edge of the water, flung itself in and floundered, panting and sobbing to the side of the pirogue. With torn and bloodstained hands it gripped the side of the sturdy beat. The paddle in Northington's hands descended with vicious force. A sudden lurch spoiled the aim. What might have been a death blow struck the half submerged man a smacking lick that half turned his head back and up. The lifted paddle paused with a jerk in its descent for the second blow. The man who held it uttered an inarticulate cry and dropped his weapon onto the bottom of the boat. With the same movement he stooped and seized the slipping hands in firm hold. A low moan trembled across the man's lips. He sagged into unconsciousness. With a mighty straining, heave John Northington drew him into the boat. The water closed with a sinister splash over the spot where the big black corrugations of a predatory crocodile's body disappeared under the sluggish surface. The girl's eyes fluttered open when a dripping form was dropped beside her own. She turned her head with the quick jerk of reflex fear. Her eyes blinked and dilated queerly, as she gazed on the still face. Blood was coaxing slowly from a cut high up under the hair line. One arm lay awkwardly limp and twisted half across the chest. The girl raised herself limply onto her elbow and with a ragged corner of her robe attempted to staunch the coaxing blood. Her lips whisperingly caressed a name. "Ramon," she said, and in the word was all the garner of sweetness of the world of human love. Northington still panting from the exertion of a moment before retrieved the paddle. "Do what you can for him, senorita," he admonished anxiously. "We'd better get away from here. It's a safe bet that those devils are on his trail and he must be pretty easy to track in his condition." He set his lips grimly and sunk the paddle into the dark water. The movement sent the craft out into the middle of the stream. Overhead the sun beat down with merciless white heat. The raucous, unmusical cries of brilliantly tinted tropical birds, the chatter of monkeys and the dip-dip of the paddle were the only noises that broke the silence as the pirogue shot along the bosom of the sluggishly flowing river. Once Northington had stopped and filled a big calabash that was rolling about in the bottom of the craft, with water from the stream. With this the girl bathed her own and Ramon's wounds with much labor and many pauses for strength. Now they both lay in a half stupor of pain and exhaustion on the bottom of the boat inadequately sheltered by the crude awning that Northington had erected. Ever and anon the man at the paddle would stoop and dash handfuls of sunwarmed water over his own faces and arms. But this treatment only seemed to accentuate the heat. His breath was coming in panting grasp. Perspiration streamed into his eyes and half blinded him. The rough cloth of the priest's hood clung in damp folds against his cheeks and rubbed his dripping neck uncomfortably. His muscles ached until it seemed that he could not lift the heavy paddle for another stroke. His eyes burned with the terrible heat and from sleeplessness, but he knew he must keep on. In the thick tangle of forest and impassable bush on either side of his river path there lurked unknown dangers from man and beast and reptile. The wounded man and girl in the pirogue were worse than useless for help in case of emergency. Like an answering cry a bibbing bibbing bibbing silliness stillness amooded thump-thump of heart turgidly spaced and smooth At the first sound the man and girl froze into a face with every point pressed into the irregular beating permeated the atmosphere and seemed to spread and warm every point pressed and appeared to draw itself together like the concentration of a point of light. He then ripped some message of life or death to John Northemburg, looking down at them, caused for a moment from his thick skin, leaned heavily on the thick handle of the knife, questioning attention. As the last slither throb died, he caused for a roll, the two now half slitting up in tense listening to the man's faces faces to estimated man about to utter "There is no hope, Jack" Ramon Montes, his fine dark glove with his palm in pain with the horrible searing irons of his torture caused by the superhuman efforts that had carried him far toward escape, dropped from his grip and uttered the words. What do these sounds mean? John Northemburg's face grew grim with purpose and determination. He waited for the an- "They have found our trail. A snip that was started a virtual hideout." He will bring a bunch of the men that all may be in. He will have a secret weapon and be shuddered with him. He will close to her. lower and with a despiring gesture threw her arms around him where he lay. He will mutate tinderness. "If he梦境 he should die," it would be betrayal. She looked beheadingly into the face of John Northlington of the death—so kind death in as you go. He was a man of the hour—he sheathed and a vicious Ranon turned the gaze up to his friend's face. There was a dumb攀援 in his looks and the words he said. "They have found our trail." She is right Jack. There is nothing that can unnarrate the blood of Lily Lock of the men that will be at the moment at blooming. Think of it!" "Because a flower is oddly colored and at its blooming explodes its seed in a fine mist of spraying moisture, a nation of people worship it and prostitute it to nameless terrible orgies and rites. And even the knowledge of its ruler and high priest cannot convince them of the ignorant superstition that makes of innocent people ravening fiends. My God ___ "But," the girl had placed one hand over the man's mouth, "my Ramon forgot, ze evil power. Zere iss a Spirit." There was abject fear and belief in her trembling, awed tones. "Ze flower he is bring ze death spray to unbelievers an' in marriage he take ze bride by ze breath off his lof, to himself." She shuddered. "Eet as so, Senor," She looked at John. Northington. There was no doubt of her utter faith in the things she uttered. "Well, maybe all you both are saying is so, and maybe not. But I'm not dead till I'm killed and I am going to get out of this or die trying, and I am going to take you both with me." The big bronze man gripped the paddle more firmly between his hands and sent the pirogue shooting ahead. Along the left bank there was a steady rustling that ran along paralleling the course of the traveling boat. Northington, his hearing preternaturally sharpened by anxiety, heard it. Already at the limit of his strength, his face paled as he realized his inability to cope with superior strength just now. Just beyond lay a bend in the lint. Just beyond lay a bend in the wooded cap projected into the stream almost directly in the straight course of the pigeon he neared the point where he seemed to bear outward towards the stream. John Northbridge slowed the stroke of his paddle as he drew near and down the river, where the dows of the green bordered point of land. His gaze was rewarded. He moved the paddle up the mud of a bit of grey-green cloth that under less careful scrutiny ran it against the projecting bed. Boldly he turned his boat in shore. The bit of grey green instantly ran it against the projecting bed. John gathering his little wrenning strength together climbed out of the long craft. He stepped onto the "There's no good in trying to get the man to come," the Scout trail marker is watching us from somewhere now. Of course he could plead with a pole, but That is what his way is, when a chosen bride of the man has an almame for the bride have rage taken their faith and broken the oath. Death in its most horrible case was an almame for the bride, who was a slave. But Northumberland did not answer. He turned as if to rest a minute from the bride's rage onto the sloping bank. As he leapt forward he fumbled for a minute in the sloping bank, straightened he held the strong bow that he had taken from the dead THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1930 Ramon and Dolores, overcoming wounds and exhilaration, sprang up and joined in the struggle of John Northington as he dragged the struggling, fighting, grey robed form of a panting man toward the boat. Before the cry could ring out again, Ramon's right hand gripped the man by the throat, and Dolores lent her aid in dragging him into the boat. As he was pulled in, his struggles suddenly ceased. He stiffened and grew rigid, then with two or three convulsive tremors, lay quite still. Northlington leaped into the boat and hastily pushed it again into the stream. The thud-thum-thum of far drums was sounding from all around them through the trees as he gripped the paddle and with desperate strength sent the laden craft down again to the center of the river. The current, a little swifter here, caught it and helped it forward. "If we can only make the rapids," It was Ramon who spoke. As he finished, John Northington, weak from loss of sleep, and food, and hunger, suddenly slumped forward and slid into the bottom of the boat. The paddle slipped from his hand and hit smartly against the side as it subashed into the water.

This understanding of the matter could hardly escape the I am glad she is "anonymous," for she keeps the situation for us imperfectly, and only knows of all the facts which she describes any of them, easily by many colored hands, or by many white women.

But the white man has been somewhat fenced in by the prejudices of his own race, and is therefore left to imagine all sorts of things benetah a dark skin which he has not found under white skins. But most Negroes of any experience in the U. S. A., have found out long ago that "it ain't so," but that all the varieties of skin-color harbor the same thing; that men and women, in the essence, are colorless. All of them are the same color in the dark anyway. At any rate the white race is learning that when one builds a fence around "himself" around "his own kind," he always fences out a darned sight more than he fences in. The whites have been the builders of these fences; and it is amusing to observe how many are beginning very regularly and very skillfully to "jump the fence." Finally, there is nothing new or otherwise noteworthy in our being in formed by this anonymous writer that preachers and lawyers can be plain humans, or even sub-humans. What this woman found to be almost devastating, if we are to judge from her manner of telling it, most of the achieving women of the world are ignoring and thrusting out of their path with admirable courage and high-mindness.

The Storm Petrel, according to local seamen, has been battling heavy seas along the Atlantic Coast for sixty years. It was manned by six Negro seamen, a skipper, and three white seamen. Monday morning a leak was observed, and it was brought to Watch Hill for repair. Laden with coal, after the repairs were made, the schooner was again towed out to sea when the hold of the ship suddenly began filling with water. The distress signal broadcast and several cruisers had to see the illfated ship take its dip, carrying with it the skipper and his men, who had stuck bravely to their post trying to save the ship. Constant watch was kept in the vicinity of the disaster but only cordage was discovered. It is believed that the bodies of the seamen are in the hold of the ship and will be recovered only when the schooner is raised. Belief has been expressed here that in addition to the seamen, the wife of the skipper and a child also perished in the tragedy. TED TO ENERGETIC WOMEN build up energy, vitality, strength.

Issues is superintendent. The Phyllis Wheatley High School choral club, sponsored by Mrs. Mattie Lewis, furnished the music and the pageant. "Forces of Light and of Darkness," written and directed by Miss Isacs, was given by the Dramatic Club of Booker T. Washington High School. The sermon by Bishop R. E. Jones on "The Philosophy of Living," while logical and forceful, was so full of the experiences in life that it touched a responsive chord in every listener's heart. He held up the immortal Lincoln as his hero. The great mass meeting in the afternoon, at which Bishop Jones was the principal speaker, was a signal success and we look for results. The choir, under the direction of Prof. J. W. Jones, sang as never before, and the large audience that greeted the bishop enjoyed the music as well.

MOREHOUSE TO GET $100,000.00 FROM NEGROES Two years ago the General Education Board made an offer of $300,000 to Morehouse College on condition that Morehouse raise $100,000 among alumni and other friends. Of the $100,000 the Julius Rosewald Fund promised to give $100,000 provided Negroes give $100,000. Success in raising the third $100,000 depends also upon the gifts from Negroes and is assured if they each dollar, therefore, contributed by Negroes will bring five dollars from other sources. It is safe to say that if Negroes will give $100,000, $600,000 can be added to the college entrance fee to almost an amount one million dollars. With this inspiration, a vigorous campaign was waged among Negroes for pledges and cash. Many of them who pledged $1,000 and have paid have received a willingness to give more if necessary. February 18 is Founder's Day at the Morehouse College last year of the Education Board expires during this school year. Founder's Day has been extended to the next semester will be paid in full and Morehouse will rejoice that $100,000 pledged by EWING ADDRESSES GROUP AT LOCAL JUNIOR COLLEGE L. D. Ewing addressed the Junior College assembly last Friday on "Economy in Buying." The speaker emphasized the earnest, hopeful and intelligent discontinuities of types of buying - cash vs. credit, and their respective merits. "Further, we are scientifically by the strict adherence to a budget, adjustment budget, advancement budget and vicarate fund," Mr. Ewing said. "The proverbial rainbow *i*" stated the Mr. Ewing is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ewing, who are the graduate of Iowa University, where he specializes in administration.

LONG (Coach, Wiley College) Marshall, Texas—The 1930 Texas gridron games are all history with the exception of the interracial games scheduled for New Yarka Day, and which in all probability will draw attention to our schools in the country this year. After this hectic struggle, old Yarka Day, scheduled for September, stirring in his slumber only to listen to the alibis and bear witness to the extra point, "That's luck." "We had the best team," and a tithouand or the rural excuse of the loser. The Southwest had five outstanding teams, Langston, Parrisville View, Lennon, Parrisville Wiley, Langton and Wiley were united by outgayed Layton by outgayed Wiley while Wiley's only defeat was a 26-10 victory by outgayed hands of Taukegue. Arkansas State was defended by Alcorn, who was kicked out by outgayed Prairie View got a lot of joy by amusing Southern 13-0. after the Louisiana cedar cedar game in 6-6.

Being connected with one of these leading schools would cause the writer to be prejudiced; therefore, we will not argue the merits of the various eleven, and will only say that any team that has nerve enough to take on these five teams in a season, might as well look for plenty of competition. Sportsmanship and scholastic regulation have improved very much in the Southwest. Teams have been coached that when you are beaten on the football field that the world is not coming to an end; that someone must be beaten, and if it's you take your medicine and don't try to mob the officials because you happen to be at home. Instead of close games ending in fights, we are proud to say that they have ended with teams congratulating one another. Athletes are being held to the line in the matter of passing their school work, which adds much to the football of any school, as the men who are the best students are in the final analysis the best men on the squad. As is the custom after the smoke of battle has cleared away, we will encourage the wrath of the grandstand managers by naming an all-Southwest eleven. It has been our pleasure to witness nearly every eleven of importance in the Southwest in action, and even though it is human to err, we are quite sure the men named below will stand up in the crisis, and have established themselves THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1950 on the gridiron this fall. Some men have played flahyd at times, but these guys have been unable to produce for their respective eleven in every single game. Some good men have played well, but they lack ability to stick in the game on account of injuries. There is no better center in the business than Combs of the Redskins, who play at midfields from October 4, until the Bishop game Thanksgiving due to inaction. The Briggs effort is playable to the Without the usual blah-blah-blah about so and so being the greatest half to set foot on any man's grid iron, we will name two elevea. See if you can beat them.

Jackson) Pairie View, Texas.—The Prairie View College Panthers under the leadership or coach Sam Taylor brought the regulars to a successful and fitting close with a 13-0 victory over the strong Southern University, coached by Brice Taylor, and compiled a record of seven victories against two defeats; a total of 254 points scored as against 29 for opponents. The one big game remaining comes with the Tuskegee Tigers, thrice national champions, to be played New Year's Day at Houston, Texas. Coach Taylor is putting his squad through daily workouts in an effort to stop the drive of the Tiger machine, that has piled up victory after victory on opponents this year. Fans must not lose sight of the fact that it was a Sam Taylor machine, while mentor at Clark University, that handed the Tiger the only set back in the past four years. It is the same Taylor, who in his first year as grid mentor at Prairie View College, handed Southern University, coached by the renowned Brice Taylor of California fame, its first defeat in two years; this same Taylor has produced one of the most colorful teams ever seen in the Southwest Conference. Using the Warner system, he has swept along to victory after victory and is leaving no stones unturned in an effort to hand the champions from Tuskegee a set-back, something no other team in the country has been able to do this season nor last. Coach Taylor is assisted by Coach Southern Butler; Coach Booker, Morehouse, and Coach Hamp Brown. The casualties from the Southern game are fast rounding into shape, and the Southwest as well as the Prairie View bid for a halftime position on the myriad of games that harnes today. Clyde Sanders, all-American guard, won the game, up, and played the same brand of football that won for a position on the all-American team. The writer feels that John Roberta Winkler will "do honor to all-American guard," Charlie Thomas, guard and Mildred Daker for the ninety-second candidate for the ninety-second. D. B. Evans, athletic director, the University of Texas, has numerous requests for tickets, it has been the game from the West End Stadium, the game from the Buffalo Stadium in an ether sports facility. Capacity Crowd to Witness Game January 1 Dr. E. B. Evans, chairman of the Prairie View College athletic committee, said here today making arrangements for the football game, said 25,000 tickets has been printed for the intersectional game, and 25,000 tickets for the game. Dr. Evans said the game is attract attention all over the Southeast, and it is one of its largest holiday crowds. Buffalo Stadium, where the teams will meet has a seating capacity of 12,000.

Morehouse Closes Season With Nite Victories The Morehouse Tiger have just gone through their most successful season, beginning of the season everybody in this section was of the opinion that they would not be able to take in the coaching or stand the punching of the rookies that had been prepared for them. The Maroon Tiger piled up 194 points against their opponents on 41 occasions, and they were in many weeks. They scored the following victories: Alison, 32-9; Knoxville, 32-10; Milwaukee, 32-10; Miles Memorial, 32-5; Morton, 32-10; Bama State, 3-0; Clark, 6-0; they to Tukeague, 19-5.

Jackson) Austin, Texas, Dec. 12.—The Prairie View College Panthers defeated Sam Huston College Dragons in a charity game played here today in the Texas Memorial Stadium, the home of the champion University of Texas Steers (white) by a score of 18-0. Williams, center, scored the first touchdown in the second period. A Sam Huston back was tackled so hard that the ball flew from his grasp into the outstretched hands of Williams, who ran for a touchdown. The half ended, Prairie View 6, Sam Huston 0. Prairie View scored early in the third quarter, when Mason took a 25-yard pass from Love and ran untouched across the goal line. The drop-kick by Ashford was wild.

Eagles and Lions to Stage Christmas Grid Classic The third and last football game of the intra-city series will be reeled off as a Christmas present to the fans and followers of the sport in our city, as well as the numerous visitors who will be on the scene, when the Washington Hi Eagles and the Yates Lions meet on the gridiron in West End Park on Thursday afternoon, December 25; kick-off at 2:30. This year's grid classic will be the fifth edition of the colorful events staged when the old but friendly rivals come together in an exhibition of hard, clean sportsmanship. For two consecutive years the Lions and the Eagles battled to a tie; the score of 6.6 being the count on both occasions. In the third year, the Lions snatched a defeat from the Eagles in the last forty seconds of play by blocking a punt that ended in a safety, thus giving the Lions the glory by a margin of only two points. Last year the Eagles came back with more fight than usual, and before their real had died down or before the Lions could stem their rushing attack they had panned out a thorough trouncing which put them on the long end of a healthy score. During the present season, the Eagles and the Lions have shown up remarkably well against out-of-town teams. Each has taken every South Texas engagement, and retired its operations in order. The third game of the intra-city championship in running true to form was the first of the series between the Wheaton Wildcats and Yates Lake on April 16. The Wildcats, for the Lions, in which game-footed murray captured a upward point against the Wildcats, chasing in their defeat at the hands of the Lions came back on April 16. The Washington Eagles and ended in registering a win at a point-margin win. **LETTER** New York City — ANN)—Manuel Rivero, the only colored member of the football squad at Columbus University, was awarded his letter for FARM NEWS AND HINTS AGRICULTURE FARM N By State Leader Mrs. L. W. Ragsdale, ho me demonstration agent for Cherokee County, is making herself felt at this practice: far season by aiding the people of her county meet the present situation to some measure by conserving as much food as possible. The market price on beef cattle is low, feed is scarce, and in view of the crop shortage the past season many farmers find themselves able to properly carry their cattle through the winter months. To offset this, Mrs. Ragsdale is conducting a series of canning demonstrations throughout the county. Beeves are being butchered and canned in the form of steak, stew, roast, chili and soup stock. This means supplying the people with a plentiful supply of meat through the winter months at very low cost, relieving them of the necessity of carrying the stock through the winter, and insuring them a greater profit (in the form of food from the cattle than they could possibly hope for if marketed at the present low market prices). NEGRO EXTENSION AGENTS RETURN TO COLLEGE During the summer of 1830 a unique experience was provided with Negroes at the benevolence of Julius Rosewall, three schools of agriculture at Orangesburg, S.

A roadside market was built on the campus at Orangeburg where lessons were taught in the facture of products, selection of containers, and marketing of finished products demonstrated in connection with this course. Emphasis was placed on the development of development resources different from the standard training work and helpful results were made clearly possible for all who were interested in what of they have close hand at clue.

Lusk of Washington County, has raised $10,000 and hundred and three interested farmers were reached last month in the work, and five demonstrations given in four different communities. FOOD CAMPAIGN To offset any suffering from shortage of food supply during the winter months which may naturally be expected during these hard times and in view of the crop shortage, in canvassing the county for fair exhibits the home demonstration agent, Mrs. Benton Meeks of Harrison County, pointed out to the housewives the urgent need of having fall gardens and growing as much surplus vegetables as possible for fall canning. Three hundred gardens have been reported in splendid condition. Most of the farmers have hogs to be butchered, have made sufficient syrup for winter use, and are to can at least one beef for winter use. The canning of beef is being urged by the agents, as it will save feed as well as furnish the meat supply for the family at a price far below market price. The present outlook is that there will be little or no actual suffering in this county because of a shortage of food supply during the winter.

LIBERIAN HEADS ARE FORCED TO GIVE UP OFFICES New York City—(ANP)—Diplates from Monrovia indicate that the recent international investigation have elevated conditions in Liberia verging on the president of President Charles D. D. King and Vice President Allan Yancey, have forced these executives to resign. It seems that the findings of the League of Nations have led to a painful picture of the frightful conditions existing there. King's resignation is a trumpet for the kingdom in Liberia, especially of Monrovia, the capital of this country. King's demand of Monrovia demanded unanimously King's resignation and the punishment they made for the diagree they had brought on the struggling their midevice and for the diagree their demands have been met, it would be interesting to see whether King's resignation would mean the up of the interest of all the people Liberia, both American returned Liberia, the state department at Washington, and guarded attitude in dealing with the situation caused by the Li Gong attack, to follow the policy of 'hands off' and "mark time" in the mean- THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1930 Henry Jang Ducago it runs in the family — Blanche Calloway, attractive sister of the famous Gab Calloway, who enjoys fame in her own right.

JACKSON, M.-D. (For The Associated Negro Press) those that have outlived their usefulness. If you're paying rent in a city you need every inch for the more necessities of life. But where ewomen need it, you need an unoccupied cram every unoccupied shelf and counter with old furniture, clothing, books and linens. Chipped dishes "too good to throw away." The storage space is needed in every household for furnishings and clothing that are only used during the day. As a general thing objects such as card tables and extra folding chairs. As a general thing that has been of no use throughout the past year—either by sending it to a friend or by throwing it ruthlessly on the junk heap to be disposed of, when the house is cleaned, these old pieces must be moved conveniently or to provide a spare room if it is in a kitchen or a bedroom. Sometimes an old table or a dresser of drawers which has stood in the house for a long time can be used in intimate furnishing by a little armature carpentry, plenty of sofa and bedding. Anything worth keeping at all is worth keeping in good condition. Furniture and books should be dusted and rugs carefully rolled. Clothing, scraps of material, and other small pieces should be packed in boxes and each box marked with a list of its contents. This will make it easier to clean the storage place and to find the stored articles when they are needed. Whether a closet or room is used for storage purposes, it should be kept scrupulously clean. Windows, shelves and woodwork should be washed at frequent intervals and floors, scrubbed with soap and water. Unless cleanliness and order are maintained here as in the rest of the household, the storeroom will become a fire-hazard and a menace to sanitation and good health. $12,000.00 PAID TO NEGRO ACTORS IN MONTHLY WAGES Los Angeles, Calif.—(ANP)—Statisticians on Negro economics should not overlook the fact that $12,000 divided among the comparatively small group of colored citizens here means no little assistance toward alleviating the present crisis of unemployment and narrowed industrial conditions. This sum was paid to colored actors, extras and choristers during last month; which proved not only one of the best months of the summer and autumn in film productions that used Negroes, but also a God-sent with the holidays approaching, and no other income in sight to many. There were 1,152 colored people employed during this month, making 6,000 who have been employed in motion pictures during the year of 1930. At that $10,000 more was lost by failure of M. G.

Lesson for December 21 TIMOTHY: THE INFLUENCE OF HOME TRAINING LESSON TEXT - Act 16:13, 3:11-PHILIP PATRICK THE WINDOW-TEST and that from a child then has known the holy script- ure and unto salvation through faith and unto salvation through faith INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR MODEL YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-10 RELIEFS Training in the Home. 1. Timothy's Parents' Activities (A16, 11). His father war a Greek and his mother a believing Jew. On his mother's side he was a necromancy. Frequently the influence of the mother makes the son. A plea to his mother was heard. Timothy: How much God ought to be who have been blessed with a godly necromancy. Christ's mother carefully nurtured the elements which go to make up Christian life. 2. Timothy's Training (1 Tim. 1:1; 11 Tim. 1:14). His wife and faithful mother and grandmother carefully nurtured the elements from childhood through their training. The faith which came to him through his grandmother and grandmother of heredity, but through careful training and teaching. Three factors were involved in his training. 1. Godly ancestors. Those who have been blessed with, godly ancestors should think God for them. Those who act to be the parents of the coming generation should see to it that their children are not handicapped by a wrong life and wrong teaching. 2. A Christian house. The young of the human race must remain for the longest period under the influence of their parents. Unending existence and exalted destiny demand long and curious training. The goodness and wisdom of God are vitally reflected in this provision for humanity. 3. A diligent study of the Holy Scriptures. Timothy not only was taught the Scriptures from childhood, but was贷书 commanded diligently to study them (ch. 2:15). No home training for hereditary influence can possibly take the place of personal study of the Bible. III. Timothy's Call (Acts 16:23). While on his second missionary journey in company with Silas, Paul found Timothy at Lystra near Derbe. Perhaps he had been converted on Paul's first missionary journey, but hearing a favorable report of him by the brethren, Paul circumcised him as so as not to offend the Jews, because his father was a Greek. This was in harmpay with the decision of the Jerusalem council. It was a case where conciliation was possible without compromise of truth. From this time to the end of Paul's life, Timothy was his devoted companion. 1. Of a refitting disposition (1 Tit. 1. 10). He had received a gift from God the hands of the apotheke but he fancied himself a famine. Famed into a fume. So a tempestion would mature in touch with a fire. A Christian has a gift from God's hand. It is highly important that the Christian has a gift from God's hand. 2. Congregaion (1 Tit. 3. 28). Having been stirred up and freed from the spirit of four, he deliberately idlemed (1 Tit. 3. 29). Courage is greatly needed in doing the Lord's work. He was carried in a carriage and trailed in the difficult field of Ephoxe through many years. He was the only man of the proper pity to minister to the poor in need of faithfulness in such a position was his fidelity to God's word. 3. As a fellow missionary with Paul (Phil. 2. 22). Paul testified that Timothy, as a son with a father, had fancied himself a famine. 2. As pastor of the church at Ephremus (1 Tirm. 1:18), Here timely meeting of the church meets the difficulties of that great church. The secret of his ministry, that he be had implicit confidence in the Scriptures as God's Word, and that he diligently studied them so as to understand the needs of those to whom he ministered. This is the only way to meet the needs which arise in the manner of a church. Hamility Humility is not only a virtue in itself, but a vessel to contain other values like embsesion which keep the fire alive that it has been born by a modest estimation of its own worth, that Christ may fill it-Thomas Adams.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1930 A UNIQUE GIFT TO AMERICAN ART Maurice Hunter, A Pure-blooded Bantu, and Possessor of a "Divine Physique" writes a new Chapter in the History of American Art The Negro is a vital factor in American civilization. Indeed he has lent to it the most authentic color, without which it would be the drabest and most unoriginal civilization to history. The world has never been the whole course of human progress and Negro's contributions in the realms with her top-mat, the father of radio, he music, the dance and rhythm. To pose is instinctive with Hunter. Orgea's creative thinking and production. A of his eyelid, a bristle mark on his beginning has been well made in five in, or simply a tussle of his head with the distinct signs of fresh budding personality. His body is so alive, his muscles are so strong, his doubt cave for themselves a name to the slightest variation of emotions within the next few years. Hunter, he has, Hunter is one of the most promising. Hunter is a unique physique, almost divine. He is one of the most promising. Hunter's lot has been like that of artists and sculptors, he is an international reputation. But he is a master of the dangers of hunger and the alvors of an original training to make him. He in Uga and down have visited a pioneer in the field, to make try to have they done his fellow artists. Hunter is a full-blooded Negro of his orphan, he was a chow boy in a boyhood South African paraphyton. Both his in Dutch Guiua, doing odds and odds, and his in dying American glorifying his native American. Murica is a purely典雅人. Young Murica to take to the river. One glance at him will quickly impress even a casual observer that he has seen the most spiritualized faces I have witnessed. His face floods one immediately with what unconscionably becomes real. There is hypnosis in Hunter's physics, the universal myth that an afraid man will instantly dislike a face. The parents of Hunter fled South Africa in order to escape the tyranny and oppression of the Boers and the British. But curiously enough, they hit Dutch Gulana, another colony belonging to the forebears of the Boers, on their adventure in search of freedom. Hunter's father was, however, not destined to see if he had really had a way of what he was looking for. He died shortly after his arrival in the new land even before little Maurice was born. Maurice Hunter's body bears all the distinctions of a Bantu youth. The hallmark of beauty among the Bantus is not "regular" features as conceived by the Caucasian tradition, but a perfect body—a body tall and slender, long arms with powerful hands, firmly built muscles and a proud gait. A handsome Bantu has the suppleness of a panther, the majesty of a lion, the grace and timidity of a deer. It is the spirits of the jungle and the kreal that conspire to evoke beauty in the body of a Bantu youth. Hunter is surcharged with artistic temper and temperament. His name is a bit of a bit of a new art—another contribution of Africa to civilization to rank her with iron technique that changed the whole course of human progress and with her top-ton, the father of radio. One posture, one smile, one movement, one gesture, one hand, or simply a toning of his head instantly transforms him into an intelligent and quick and sensitive that it responds to the thoughts and meanings. He has, indeed, a unique physique, almost迪 Hunter's lot has been like that of most artists. He has known the cold. He has slept on park benches Ups and down have visited him as a child. He has been at the age of 14, a permit orphan, he was a chore boy in a hospital in Dutch Guiana, doing odeos in the city, dying American glorifying his native death, his death, which young Marianne has seen, seeking his fortune in the United States. Sailing the high seas, shifting from one atmera to another, studying deeply the fickle moods of the ocean he lived in, the enchanted city he had heard of in the hospital from the dying man's Dutch Guiana. That was six years ago. Now he could realize his dream. Hunter is still a mime of dreams, wry and sarcastic, but he really achieved international fame. In New York could offer him not only a chance to be a "chance," which meant that he became an elevator boy, and so on, by turn, and put Matriew was a lucky boy. It was the goddess that Goddess Fortuna picked him up and gave him a break, which opened up where he is now firmly established. Where he is now dumfounded and stared at him. Then she smiled, the sweetest a woman could ever smile at paintings, illustrations and status. A quick sense of the esthetic. She inspired the imagination of inspiration for thousands of paintings, illustrations and status. A job as a model for the Art Student's model. Ever since he has remained a model. Artists with national and international Hunter to inspire them, and he has inspired them to greater achievements and to underling fame.

He appears in "A Scene at the Battery, in 1799," as a typical actor for the Wise Man for York's Water Supply, as a foreman, and the East End of Wall Street," as a specialist in bird-lore, inspecting par Hunter's genius is essentially cosmopolitan. He embodies the Caucasian types as facially as he does the Negro. He is matchless in portraying the African spirit in all its forms. He has appeared as an Arab, a Turk, a Hindu, a Mexican, as a man from the Congo, Senegal, Zanzibar and Egypt. In re se romance even, in the parts the portrays. He is a hunter and the one hunted, a merchant, a soldier, a pirate, a prince, a lover, a villain, an inventor, a wild man, a bully and so on, in endless variety. He is madly in love with his art. Day and night he seeks to improve it. He lavishes every penny he can save on his art. He buys from Morocco Tennis, Persia, Turkistan, Central Africa, China and Hindustan genuine costumes to live his part with an awe-inning originality. To collect such costumes is his sole hobby. Hunter is also a philosopher. Through posing, he thinks that he gets nearer to the human heart and leaves an indelible impression that an African, that a Negro, is a human being, capable of all that a human could achieve. An artist realizes more truly both the human and the divine in man at moments when he discovers the rhythmic beauty. The perfect form of his model. When Hunter is in such a philosophizing mood, one can easily see that he is on a spiritual adventure. With all has success, Hunter is not satisfied with his posing. In posing he has to be able to tell the story, for the author, for the artist. None of his own dynamics parallels that. to play in the thing of beauty that is being created. He is determined to make it a prime factor. He is now developing the art of pantomime—an art demonstrated through gestures and rhythmic motions of his characters. A A Above — A pose for the famous painter, Mr. Crouge.

His hidden possibilities, in his opinion, for a creative art work. Poising for it in a new delight of his work, Maurice Hunter will believe for it in a work. Maurice Hunter truly believes that through this new art of human mankind could be built for a higher文明, for a higher文明, for a higher expectation and his ambition that to blaze the way towards that he has whispered around with creating frequency since the fall of World War II.

INTELLIGENCE AND INTEGRITY MAKE MEN AND RACES GREAT HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1930 The turn of events in recent days seems to indicate that there has been a dimming of the interest on the part of the general Negro public in the matter of working to get jobs for the unemployed in an organized way. It appears that certain sentiments, probably unfortunately expressed, gave the impression that the work was not well intentioned and that the personnel had been poorly selected. That, coupled with the refusal of the general committee to make certain concessions in the matter of a separate clearing house, caused the slump in interest. The Informer feels that no more unfortunate situation could maintain among us. If it was profitable to set up a separate clearing house in the first place, it still is profitable. If the conditions which made the decision presumable are still in existence it is still thinkable that an organized effort to place Negro heads of families in positions where they may earn support for their families is possible. The fact that of course, if the conditions are more to be desired than bread lines. Self respecting men, and there are many of them who now are to be found in the lines of those who wait at all of the social agencies for the bare necessities of life, would rather have work to do than to be assured of all of the charity which they might need. And it is also true that so long as there are as many of us out of work as now are, we would be better off having funds from which food and clothing are furnished to the needy. Houston Negroes need to learn that in times like these, they must carry as much of their own load as possible. It is all right for us to feel that white people will take care of us. Probably we will be able to do that, but it is not right for. But what are our needy to do in the meantime. On their part, it is not a lack of the desire to be of service to us so much as it is the impossibility of their serving their own folks and ours at the same time. The fact by now should be well known to all who have gone to the labor bureau in the City Hall and seen the black men in the street, and the advantage which those of white skins have over black men, some of them already registered, but who, because of the rush and their black skins, are definitely at a disadvantage. For them to rush over white men, as white men rush over them, to answer to them, to be able to do that, there are those of the white race who may not agree with this situation, but who nevertheless are powerless to change it. And so it is happening that times for the unemployed Negro are not getting any better, despite the efforts of the whole city, leaving ourselves out, to help. And it is under conditions like these that we can be able to do that, by being at the first sign of a dissenting voice; fearful to go forward. Jobs are more important than food. It is from jobs that food is bought. Give more of us jobs and we all can buy more food for those for whom there may be no jobs. But in heaven's name let us not cease to work to get as many of them employed as possible. There are jobs waiting for Negroes every day. The trouble is that the men cannot find the jobs without direction. A separate clearing house will serve the purpose. There is a man who is who knows the "ins and outs" of the workers' needs. He also has a job with employers to be more a great extent than any other one man another us. Let those who are that, the contributions to the cause which he heads may not be well handled, set up a plan for the efficient handling of the affairs. Such a small circumstance can be cured in a few minutes by a group of thinking business men-working-together. The task and the goal of the whole movement is the relief of unemployed Negro men. Let that not be lost sight of. It is nothing else. If the movement is abandoned, for whatever cause, the plight of the race will be worse than before. Bread lines will grow longer. Contributions are too increased by those who, as time goes on, will be less than the time to be permanent good will not be done. The Informer feels that Houston has a masterpiece, need to get together, study the problem, work hard for its solv, then, steadfastly refusing to lose sight of the real objective; JOBS RATHER THAN CHARITY FOR UNEMPLOYED NEGRO MEN. FOOD AND CLOTHES ARE BADLY NEEDED Needy people by the hundreds are thronging all of the social and charitable agencies of this city. All of the organizations which are working to supply the needy are being taxed to their uttermost and still the number of needy grown. Our people are not only the number of needy, but to any one of them and you will hear the story of the needy for work for from two to ten months. The story of any one of them will bear out the statement to the effect that Negroes are the last to be hired and are always the first to be fired. But whatever the cause of their need, the fact remains that they are the machinery for their relief is already overburdened. They must be taken care of and been established. And it is reported that in one of the lines recently, a policeman stands on guard to prevent them from taking THE HOUSTON INFORMER A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER FOR ALL THE PEOPLE any place in the line. The giver of food in that place has decided that only white persons and Mexicans are to be served. Along with the challenge to help our needy people to find jobs, we have another to help in some way to relieve their actual physical suffering from hunger and cold. How shall it be done? Here again Houston is brought sharply up against its failure in former years to seek such contacts with the civic and social agencies that a mutually helpful way out could be easily arrived at. Shall we attempt to set up separate units to help? To do this would tend to make more nearly impossible the help of our people at the agencies to which we contribute through the Community Chest. Shall we seek contact with the governing heads of these agencies, seeking better accommodation and service for our people; and shall we pledge substantial contributions for special funds for immediate relief? All of these questions must arise as we view the ever increasing numbers of our needy as they trudge from place to search in food, clothes and fuel. NEGRO'S EC MASTER By O. P. DeW As we peruse the in the office of our people, we worthy of public attention controlled by Negroes tered the field, nearly the Lincoln is the only woman controlled by Negroes. We have employed 500 people for more than 100 years, and our monthly payroll Thousand Dollars. The It is reported that the Business Men's Luncheon Club is fostering a movement to assist in the relief. Another movement among the pastors is under way. The Informer feels that the promoters of both movements are to be congratulated for the speed with which they are entering into the spirit of help. Every person in the city with a job or the means of making a living should eagerly help to make the lot of the least fortunate easier. But the leaders of both movements should realize that there should be no duplication of effort. All energies should be pooled and merged into a well operating single unit which, as far as it can, has connection with the regularly organized agencies of charity in Houston. Now is the time for thoughtful, well organized, efficient action. In this crisis Negro Houston will either find, or forever lose its civic soul.

And as we think of Bledsoe in music, Emmet Scott and others in education, Cuney and McDonald in politics, Williams and others in religion, and the leaders in science and in business, let us not forget Andrew "Rube" Foster, the first African-American who compelled the admiration and respect of the athletic world.

On the floor of the Swiss parliament, oils, the rights of the two small minorities, Swiss know how, they have learned to treat and religious groups of their country, with impas. And it has paid them in the long run. America also will learn how to "treat all religious groups of their country, with impas. It will pay in the long run. The following editorial was published in the Houston Chronicle of a few days ago. The sentiment and the truth which it contained were so striking as to cause The Informer to feel that it would bear reproduction and commemoration. The editorial was published in Switzerland, a tiny spot on the European map, is extremely fortunate. Across the Atlantic today there is economic depression. There is also a dangerous tendency to overemphasize nationalism. Recently a conference, an annual convention of racial minorities, was held, but Switzerland is not the only country to take the tacies of the Flemish majority in Belgium. Poles were present from Germany, Germans from Czech-Slovakia, Roumanians from Hungary, even Basques from Spain. All had a grievance, all felt themselves oppressed by unfeeling majorities who happened to outnumber and thus to impose upon them restricting their rights. "The fact that no Italian or Frenchman from a Swiss canton attended is a striking tribute to the fairness of the German majority which composes the leading ethnic element of the mountain republic which has commanded the admiration of the world since its formation. The Teutonic group makes up 71 per cent of Switzerland's population, yet no effort is made nor has one been made to prevent the abolition of the nation. On the floor of the Swiss parliament, in the army, in the schools, the rights of the two small minorities are respected. The Swiss know how, they have learned to treat all classes, all racial and religious groups of their country, with impartiality and fairness. And it has paid them in the long run. Some of them also learn to "treat all classes, all racial and religious groups of their country, with impartiality and fairness." It will pay in the long run. THRIFT SENSE cement of the tremendous amount of money back to depositors at this season from Chh. The Informer to wonder just what percent has been accumulated by members of the company, and because of the stringency of the times, that special accounts have redeposited the most money. Announcement of the tremendous amount of money which has been paid back to depositors at this season from Christmas savings leads The Informer to wonder just what percentage of that amount had been accumulated by members of the race and to wonder if they would be willing to tend that because of the stringency of the times, those who have saved in special accounts have redeposited the most of their funds. They do not believe that the hard times are over and they are in no hurry to obey the very sensible advice to "buy now" in order that business may get better. They can be doable but that those among us who had the foreign currency for five months away when times were good, have had the wisdom of their action proven by the stringency of the times. And it is to be hoped that many of those who did not save and who consequently are now embarrassed because of their failure, will have learned their lesson, and that when jobs again open up they may begin thoughtfully and save as they earn rather than to spend foolishly and needlessly. And in this connection it is highly profitable for us to think definitely of how to teach more thrift among both our young and old. Heretofore it has evidently been thought that "every child should be taught to think thrift and spend the spending were concerned. But that time has past. Our teachers should think definitely of teaching thrift in the schools where it is possible. It is true that, if thrift banks and saving devices are necessary in the schools for children of the other race who have had little or no thrift, they should be in a regular system, surely the same things in greater degree will be found necessary to Negro children who have had no such background. If budget books have been found helpful to young married couples if the other race who have had the advantage of living in a regular system have been veritable "Ifesavera" to Negro couples of the same age who have no training in establishing secure futures from financial standpoints. Training along such lines will prove a great preventative of such times as we are now experiencing. The difficulty of teaching thrift in the schools where the point is to be found in the difference in the abilities of those who earn to set aside systematically for the future. There can be no doubt but that Negroes, among other things, need thrift sense. It cannot be accidentally obtained. It must be definitely cultivated. It must be taught that the need for its cultivation has not yet been keenly felt. NEGRO'S ECONOMIC STRENGTH MASTER KEY TO HIS PROBLEMS NEGRO'S ECONOMIC STRENGTH MASTER KEY TO HIS PROBLEMS As we peruse the last chapter of *The New Yorker*, we brought to our mind what we think worthy of public attention. Of the people we have controlled by Ngeon when we entered the field, nearly 14 years ago, we have weathered the storm of compa We have employed from 12 to 18 people for more than 12 years. Even though our monthly payroll is more than a Thousand Dollars, this payroll is in demand. Our brand line. The pressure of the times demands that we check up on every place we are supporting and determine how to our economic advancement. Economic pressure on all places that we support has a wholesome effect on the Negro's economic status. It has been told that local competitions in the show game give very little if any lucrative employment to the Negro most of them depend solely on the Negro. Foreigners and others are said to monopolize practically all the jobs This stargray economic condition prevails throughout the realm of the job, and is being aroused to the tremendous stress it causes to the unseen economic strength his suit provides of defense. The Chicago Whip struts out his armor to vocate for jobs that are commensurate with the growing grass spend with business institutions. Ask anybody who has been thrilled by the sight of Merges clerks, florists, and other large department stores of Chicago, the large department stores of New York, the doctrine will get desired results. Then he serves his apprenticeship in the practical business world. This is the first step in his apprenticeship in commerce.

Mrs. Alison clothes for the day and dothines. This great reservoir of latent energy which Chicago and a few other places have tapped, should open the door to a new era of support where similar conditions exist. Why should Negroes furnish from 50 to 90 per cent of the support of any business anywhere in the country and only receive from 5 to 10 per cent of what they want? Why should we not expect as much of out anything as we put in it and limit our patronage to firms that are willing to give us most consideration to our business? So much has been said and done about politics until most people who do any thinking, as all can detect the difference in a more inexperienced political pirates who are robbing us of our big business. But the law of aversion is a more inexperienced比比皆是 in political criminals and economic laws should be held just as much accountable for the impartial treatment of the contemptors of the laws of the land. This justice is not for nothing and the land is up to the people who are affected to assume the penalty.
