Says Mr. White: "Negroes and their friends know that within the next few years cases testing other forms of disfranchisement, cases challenging unequal and perilous state and federal funds, of publication, issues of the Jim-crow car system and of segregation by means of private property holders' covenants will be carried for decision to the Supreme Court. Negroes have noted the considerable number of five to four decisions within recent years by that court. And they know that one vote by a justice holding Parker's anti-Negro views might easily mean an appreciable increment to their already heavy load." "Immediately, Parker's rejection means a number of things. It has given him a lot of confidence in strating that intelligent, sustained struggle for a principle can be made. It has also whoseole respect for the Negro among informed, fairminded whites. It has forsibly reminded Americans of the importance to the federal constitution are not willing to concede to the police conveniently upon politics that it is no longer wise to attempt to climb to high office on the backs of a black man who violently negrophobic attacks."

PAGE TWO The BL A Story of Rom in the Intrigue WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE John Northington, young Howard graduate and athlete, helping his millionaire South American classmate, Ramon Montez, to save his fiancee from the clutches of the priests of the Black Lily, is wounded by a poison arrow. Dolores Montes, Ramon's fiancee, trying to warn him of a trap set by the priests, has escaped clad only to an altar cloth. She is in time to attack the would free of poison. With Northington she makes her way to within a short distance of the camp where Ramon is waiting only to find him being put to the torture by his subjects. She and Northington find a prague, and after he has a plain the guard and taken his accourtre Seeing a man peering from the underbrush are about to get into a fight with the man in attack, as the man rushes into the water pants a crocodile and grasps the man's arm. Although Northington strikes before he is aware of Harnes' identity, he floats on the piqueur on down stream to a spot, where he seen a man with a knife and to hide the trail, takes the body into the boat where he faints from the With a mighty effort INSTALLMENT IV With a little gnasher cry Dolores came with quick precision of mind instantly instantiated the fallen paddle and prologue in the waves set up by its own force as it fell. He leaned across the stifter floor of the water to reach the paddle. As he straightened up he noted that the water was a challenge to own its own strength and a look of relief dawed in anxiety. Dolores own tightness led to anxiety. He looked toward the place where Dolores leapt above his place when it is a sword. Dolores cums in hope in breathing in her aclypation words "Zoe heat in my mouth" she shelter for him, Ramen, miz." She was readjusting the rudder, "I will be over Northington. The narrow confine of the crowded prologue was the trans Just a minute, Guarda, mis 'this'. —Ramon pointed to the still figure of the drummer in his mark. We must leave rid of this. But we must leave no traces. The call will bring them in our direction. They will find the exact spot. I was quick for that. they will wonder why the answer did not come to that last question of the drums. They will know that only the drummer will find the answer. They will search until they find out there is always the 'black death'." He pointed to a black flat floating near the drummer's mark. The "Black Death" Dolores, pillowing John's head, on a soft roll of fur, turned to the grim task of helping the speaker in what he was doing to the sinister thing in the bottom of the boat. His left dangling helpings became of the same type as the Ramot tugged at the body with his strong right, until he had it near the edge. Then he carefully removed one sandal and with the help of the girl lifted the body and alid it was the long-hand into the massly flowing waters. A flash of black—a crunching grinding sound, heard above the slashing glug-glug of the water—and the body disappeared, which jerk under the fire as the spring of the tூmed their heads away in a shudder of horror at the sounds and sight of a slowly reddening space of water that gradually became only an attenuated pink. "We must make the work complete before it is done," said the young man. He is the right carefully. Here—pull back, and in, to the same place where John landed. "Do you think you can?" He looked anxiously at the frail girl. "You know, when one arm I cannot paddle. But that" he pointed to the water without looking—"is useless if we leave things as they do." The gleam of imoditable courage sprang into the eyes of Dolores: "I can do anysing for you, caro mo," she whispered. Seizing the heart paddle in her hands she set to work and although every movement sent the wave of the shifting through her fe�s, the arms of the close her lip grim Back at the spot where Northington's hat disappeared the wrestling screening guard into the book. Johnson by almost herelon efforts clambered out onto the point of land. At his request, Dolores handed him the single dirty sandal that he had taken from the foot of the slain purser. He carried it up the torn and mundy path to the spot where the great mass of water had been in the slimy mud. Here he very deliberately lay down and with much care his good arm and both legs created the semblance of a franxion, fully in pain, half crawling position along the way of the prints left by the saucer of the sink, to the edge of the infested water. At this point a grave danger threatened. Off shore, moving swiftly with the force of the water, the body was approaching. At sight of the prone figure of the man wringing his sleeves, he wiped away it. She screamed. Just at the edge of the water, Hammon sensed his danger. With a mighty effort he drew the man engaged at a point almost directly in front of him. At the same time a abot ran into the water. Dolores, with North- ington's smoking in her bar, had been caught in the water. When when the man in fact of fear was over he drew himself erect just as th they looked up to see the piping with its unconscious occupancy slowly drifting out to the center of the stream. The Greeting Call The two wounded fentest sent a depressing glance after the vessel as between them and it. As they look at a piercing call it seemed high and far off. Without more mop, the two shrank as to enter the undergrowth from the deep shadows of the forest just as the cry shrilled out a second time. It seemed that it was upon them as it seemed that it was upon the hot air. They shrank closer together. "The questing call!" Ramon whispered the word breathlessly. The girl nodded. Her eyes were wide with the straining effort of listening. Again the drum beat was heard. This time it was quickened. Menace seemed to breathe from it through the forests. "They have found his last trail mark. It will not be long now. We must get away from this spot. The dead guard that Jack left, despoil, has aroused their anger. God pity him if they find and take him, now. They will know that it was an outlander who dared lay hands on the sacred person of a priestly guard. Even I would not thus have awakened their unreasoning and fienish enmity." Ramon was gradually moving farther into the shelter of the thick afternoon darkness beneath the trees as he talked. The girl followed. Almost Trapped At the next step he tripped in a huge vine and fell with a groan on his wounded arm. With difficulty Dolores helped him to feed. Her own wound was throbbing and burning with feverish intensity but at least her bones were whole. The arm-thick stem of the vine that had tripped Ramon led upward into the tree that it embraced, at a gentle slope. Strong woody endric sprang from it to the wall and frequent intervals on its upward climb. "We cannot go further, can miss; it is but certain death to try. Maybe you can get back to the Sacred Grove and say that we—that poor Jack carried you away against your will; that's the end of the outlands, or that I called you and you were forced to come." "So, you may spare your life for a little space and—perhap a since strange magic has been practiced on you against you will you may be so good to be your own people until the magic spell is excised and you may come again to the accurate grove called sacred by the evil priests who would take your beauty for their own justs and then offer it on the so-called pure Altar of the blue-black fire of the jungle and He threw a good arm up over his face and lay still, only moaning piteously with the physical and mental pain of his helplessness. High up in the tree top a monkey barked. Dolores started out of the hopeless pool of frightened listening to the boy's voice. "No-no, cet is not so. We shall escape together or not at all. See you Ramon the win. Let has a ladder der he it not? A so easy ladder for she it was by him side urging him toward the climbing vine as she snook. THE HOUSTON INFORMER.

He sees our trouble—and " "The Ladder of Vines A new light of hope was placed slowly upward at the swinging vine with his right hand. A foothold fouled the hold tethought together under his weight. Boldly him the girl came. She encouraged him at every painful step. At length he pulled himself onto a glove of grease or mannering way down along with a groan. The girl clambers up beside him. She began the rigging up of a sort of splint and bandage out of some bits of broken wood and strip from her one garment of cloth cloak. Ramen stood the excercising pain. The great drops of sweat that rolled up and dropped off his head glove gave way to the operation. When it wilted he dropped weakly back on the swinging matted carpet of leaves and twigs and he black anout emerged. Dolores patched his face tenderly and stooped to丝 him as a mother kisles her baby. As she lifted her face a faint sound struck her silent. She sat quite still for a moment and she sat quietly, looking at many of voices taking in excited gururials in the distance she straightened and the eager hake started a movement. She stood up, Up and up she went, hand over hand, dwarfing the pain in her hands. She stood up high up among the thinning foliage of the smaller branches that trawled beneath her. Until they were tangleed in the neighboring high branches of their follows. At this point the girl looened her hold on the bough of the first tree and next—literally high above the jungle world from tree top to tree top. At length she the clearer light of telescope space filled in among the trees, and then lightly to a lower branch and thus descended to a level with the mid-ring of the smaller undergrowth and the short stretch of moody beach. There was a sense of awesome sight. There were over a score of halfaked persons assembled. At the end of the way the city was a tall silhouette figure in a pristine robe. One great shoulder was glanced from the whispered gleaned from the whispered mask of his copper-skinned face. The whispered mask and there was a thrill of terror in her voice. She perked fearfully through the branches from her high perch she saw the tall man turn to his followers "I is here," he said in his guttural language that no letter should be used to describe those of his tribe who were his listeners that "your faithful one has “Here,” he pointed to the torn mud and the sinister tracks leading to the water's edge, “where, perhaps, he lay, watching the forsworn ones and their evil companion, when they by their wicked magic and power sent their evil servant to the ‘black death’ to drag the faithful one to his lair. “By his death, I call upon you warriors of the Sacred Flower for vengeance and pursuit to the death by torture of fire an earth and air of these evil ones.” He ended and a great cry went up from the fantastic group of half naked and painted followers. They held aloft, each in his right hand, a bunch of arrows and in his left, his bow. Swinging them wildly in wide circles they leaped in high, madly gyrating bounds into the air amid a great spattering rain of mud. As they leaped they let out the most appaling and bloodcundling cries. The girl, male-faced and silent waited. The Ritual of Revenge After a space, the noise and dancing ceased. The group drew together in a great circle and started to move. As they marched they passed first one man, then two, and then three circles, each man to the one ahead until it came to the fall-mile-chapin figure. After the chilling murmur he received each arrow and raised it. Each time the chilling murmur wore passed above his head he pointed it straight upward and cast it from almost a straight line directly overhead to an incredible distance before Eight Reasons Farm Board Must Get Negro Organizer WEAK, SICKLY, AILING WOMEN CAN BE STRONG AND HEALTHY COLDS MAY DEVELOP INTO PNEUMONIA CREOMULSION FOR THE COUGH FROM COLDS THAT HANG ON ARE YOU SUCCESSFUL In Everything You Understands to Do—Can You Look the World in the face—Solve All Problems—Get What You Want and Fear No Man or Circumstance?

Then a single ululating, long drawn cry broke from their throats in perfect unison. It was answered from the distance by a single booming drum-note. The huge Jontha stepped forward into the middle of the ring. He held a single blue feathered arrow in his hand. He raised it high above his head, poised for an instant, then, lunging upward with a might bound, threw it. As if winged with some supernatural power it sped up—up—then without apparently changing its rate of speed it veered sharply and began a slanting descent straight toward the tree in which the girl crouched in abject terror.

THE trampling surf of the closing year is floating the dying echoes of the exciting scenes of 1930 toward where all are dumb. I am no prophet, but I say this, "A single breaker may recede, but the tide of the New Year is coming in." Some few things we see in almost every part of the annals of mankind, among them: how the industry of individuals, struggling against the power of positive forces such as war, taxes, famines, droughts, unemployment; oppressions, pillage, bloodshed, robbery and hard bargainings, creates and repairs faster than these forces can invade, destroy and squander. How gratifying it is to me to see our proud brotherhood smiling under the weight of this unholy crisis, proud of heart, though banished from the happiness of profitable labor. Courageous, though facing the advance of an uncertain winter; contented, though conscious of the uncertainty of a mystery-shrouded future. Because of the superior make-up, and of the unexcellent manhood, and divine-like devotion to a consecrated cause, and an inborn and soul-fixed purpose, we have been able to stem the tide. We have been able to keep the morals of our happy band unbroken. We have been able to meet the widows and orphans, check in hand, as soon as the hoof of the pale horse and rider left the door. We have been able to wade far out into marshes of suffering and scatter a bit of kindness, help and goodwill to many of our brothers most in need. As a result, though poignant at heart as we pen you these words of Christmas Greetings, we are gratified and happy that it is as well with us as it is. It could have been worse, but how refreshing it is to know Him, and to know He hath the power to keep us safe in this great economic disorganization. Happy are we, for in His appointments we are included. In His heavenly community chest we are included. In His highway construction we are included. In His distribution of profitable labor we are not forgotten. He smites but to heal. He chasteneth not in anger, and we may be apparently lost in the solution of the problem of social economics, yet He will lead us back into the quiet and peaceful fold, where there is nought but perfect peace. Every officer, every member and every friend of our noble Order shall always have my very highest esteem, my greatest respect and personal admiration. You have stood so firm and immovable through these most trying times. Never has a Grand Cancellor, in all the past years, been called to pilot our brotherhood through such a trying ordeal as this. Natural consequences, banks failed, crops failed, armies of our brothers unemployed, consuming fires have done their worst, oppressors have exacted the pound of flesh, but you have met the test of steel. Let us redouble our zeal. Those who have not worked, gird on your armor. Those whom conditions forced out, take heart and come back. Those who believe in intrinsic worth, fly your kite. Those who believe merit wins its own reward, pay the price by a devotion to an Order which by its devotion to a cause, by a constructive administration of affairs, by a broadness in the administration of its service has been able to render to a struggling people a service unparalleled and unequalled in the history of fraternal organizations. As we approach Christmas, may it bring to us the message of the Messiah, the memories of far-away Bethlehem, the gifts of prosperity, the emancipation from this crisis. Let it bring to us the desire to be thankful, and those of us whom He hath prospered, let's divide our portion with the poor and less fortunate. Let each member of the Order resolve on this Christmas morning to make some hearthside glad, make some humble creature feel that he is not forgotten. Do this and yours will be a Merry Christmas and you will thus take position with those who proclaim, "On earth peace, goodwill to all men." Now, may the blessing of God, and that peace which Now, may the blessing of God, and that peace which passeth all understanding, rest and abide with the members of this Order forever. L. B.

Coach Williams told me his boys were out of practice; but if his boys had been in practice the results would have been the same. Coach Codwell's team Saturday was the best high school team I have seen; and I saw the Zebras, twice, during the two years they were national champions of white high school football. His team exhibited the best blocking seen in this section this year, high school or college. It was a whale of a game and no fooling.

J. B. Sins On this page, articles by J. B. Sins give sport writers the very devil and laying on the responsibilities of the N.Y. Negro football. I presume he is crying because his school, Alabama, has been in for 5 or 10 years and probably the sport writers in his section are down in 5 or 10 years and probably not of any of the sport writers in this section. I do not blame him, but the season, he do. I do suggest that he rest his whites to his team and leave out his poor, maligned sport When Captain Benjamin F. Stevenson leads his Golden Tiger football team, the field at Buffalo Stadium on January 1, against the Prairie View Panthers, he will find that he will have plenty of feminine support. Members of various social and literary clubs plan to witness the clash. The charming belles will wear red and yellow costumes and will carry huge bouquets of gold and crimson chrysantheums. Numerous parties are planned for the visitors prior to and after the game. Prairie View sponsors will also be much in evidence. A beautiful trio of sponsors will sit near the team and cheer the Panthers on to victory. Graduates and former students of the famous Alabama institution, now residing in Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas, will journey to Houston on November's day to witness the game and to participate in the program of entertainment being arranged, the Houston Tuskegee Club, Mrs. Mary Breedlove Holden and Mrs. Audrey Powell Hackett and other members of the Houston chapter of the Tuskegee Alumni Association have arranged a program of entertainment for the out-of-town visitors, beyond comparison with any social entertainments yet given in this fair city.

ADAIR, Jr. Coach Lytle and his assistants succeeded in piloting the Lions through a grand and glorious season, as was their vow at the beginning of the season. Coach Lytle was assisted by "Wild Man" Lee, formerly of Hampton's varsity, and "Jake" Ballard, formerly of Shaw. Coach "Zip" Gayles of Morehouse, who is now head coach at Langton University, and who coached the Lions last season, came back to see the Lions give Lane College a 32-0 spanking. The Lions opened the season with Jackson College of Mississippi, and won every game, with the exception of Alcorn College of Mississippi, which game they probably would have won had not some of the men been injured in the Lincoln-State tilt the week before, including "Ike" Richmond, State's swift halfback. The Lions defended Lincoln University at Jefferson City, Mo., Philander Smith College at Little Rock, Lane of Jacksonville, Tenn., Arkansas Baptist College of Little Rock, Shorter College of Little Rock, and Bishop College at Marshall, Texas. Next year a heavy schedule awaits the Eugene community including Lungen- ston University, whose they had in 1928, and Wiley College of Marshall, Texas. Most of the man are expe- tended to return, however, Ceddian E. Smith, Hill and Gammon will be lost through graduation. Mo SIMS OF "BAMA" STATE ATTACKS SPORT SCRIBES By J. B. SIMS Montgomery, Ala.—The echoes of the past football season are fast dying away and now comes the time for upon the faults of the football year, the race sports writers annual tirades the errors of the mentors, the whyas and wherefores, the lack of proper training in our institutions, the charge of proselyting and a million and one other things that seem to sap the very life out of a trusting public as regards Negro football. Now comes the time for the picking of all. After the time and time, all well and good but why lament on the defects of the grid game as practiced in our colleges. We often wonder why the game does not pay in race institutions. We often wonder why the stands are practically empty at most of our contests. Yet, our games are as thrilling as any of the others and surely they are as fair. Every seldom can we point to the chances where unimportantliketactics have been employed. Our contests surely carry all the trimmings and color that any of the others carry. And yet we are forced to ask ourselves why the apparent lack of interest on the part of the public at large—why is it that hardly ever do large crowds occupy the stadiums when Negro teams are engaged in combat? Why is it that our supposedly classics come out as miserable financial failures? We venture to say it is because of the first attack. He has been led by some of our brilliant feature writers. This is seemingly a time of great excitement to write about the gap between the football and basketball seasons. So in order to have some forcible encouragement from him, some we have lamented gentlemen ditch out an attack on the gridiron activities of the past season. They call down the cones and sound Morehouse College Football Squad and Coaches WHEATLEY 'CATS' DEFEAT TULSA, 25 TO 0; UPSET DOPE **(The Houston Chronicle)** Phillis Wheelse's batting of wind climbed the heights of the sky, and turned back the highly tulted Tusah High Horse 82, and had claim championship by virtue of their win over the invaders who gained the championship by virtue of their win. Wheelse would do well to erect a memorial in honor of Barbache Armand, who suffered enough damage, single-handed, to wallow the Horsees at their own peril in the first half, one of which resulted in a score, tossed in passes in the first half, tossed in kicking, and then recovered a blocked punt, one inch within the end to completely grab the spotlight. However, Armand was accorded splendid help from Truss his mates and a team who were not action who did not accept the laurel de laure, who tussled the aerial which netted the first Wheelse touchdown, in some damage in his own right. Do: Captain Mack played a great game, basking in the line to perfection. Line Stars In the forward wall, Holmes, Green, McGruder, Latter and Lewis offered the Horneta a stone wall to back up to the Wheeler's line. When Horneta had little success in plowing the Wheeler's overline line, but was hopelessly outclassed from the very start, and never once had a lookin', she was able to get the Wheelera's 5-yard line, in the third period, with four tries to make, but Horneta only scored one, only real scoring chance the invaders had, although they toned passes here, and everywhere in the last period, she was able to touchdown on the Houstonians, and kick-kick-off and proceed to touch down the field to the Horneta's 15-yard line before a fumble halted them. How Horneta was able to fumble and the Wildcats received with another scoring chance in sight This time Co-Captain Mack decided to take to the air and Williams Forehouse College Football Squad and times the residents and trustees of the various schools, even going so far as to suggest the removal of certain mentors. They accuse the schools of proselyting. They play up all the little errors and make mountains out of them. They seem to think that is an assignment, from which will come many laurels and medals of bravery should their stock be heavy enough. And so these distinguished gentlemen grind out words and phrases. They name a few individual stars and then follow it up with a few unfounded reasons for these stars not being what they really should be. They let out the loud war whoop that Negro teams have no team play—that they depend on one or two men and yet they say there are very few individuals under the spotlight if any. And is they write. They lament the fact that because Negro football is "waning" they cannot select a mythical all-American and yet they pick one and enter into a big dispute if contradicted. They accuse the officials of gross unfairness and some accuse even the water boys—innocent as they are accused of spilling water. Then I am least the students and claim they do not have loudly enough at the game. They have they no color. And why all this uncalled for "belly aching?" Why is it that each year our sports writers must cast stones at Negro football? The coaches are certainly prepared and skilled in the art of grid maneuvers. For the most part they are exponents of good sportsmanship and believe in in-structing their charges likewise. The officials have been competent and have handled the games in a satisfactory and pleasing manner. There have been quite a few stars and yet our teams have employed team work as never before. The students have been most gracious in their support. We do not claim that Negro football has been flawless. We do not say there is no room for improvement. But we do offer our very humble opinion that our sports writers are tearing into shreds the confidence of the public with their yearly attacks that are unwarranted and unnecessary. Some good clean articles would help, and by clean we mean original and truthful. PAGE FIVE gee Tigers on, Texas 1.00. tossed a bulletlike pass to Armstrong, who kept high and to the side to handle the extra point and Wheatley led, 7 to 0. Late in the same period after an assasination of paulta, William again tossed a nifty aerial to Armstrong, holding the ball and taking home, 10-yard stripe. Mack slipped tackle for eight yards as the quarterback. James and taller ended period Lewis placed left guard for the touchdown. Goal was missed and the Wildcats had a 15 to 0 work. Tulsa started a goal line march late in the second, with the half ended with the ball on the Wheatley 18-yard stripe and the first Tulsa injury.

The one farmer that grow vetch in King Landing is growing 20 acres this year. We are able to report that we are growing 20 acres in this community. On the 25 of March we held a school on the farm of Tom Towne to give the farm a demonstration how to turn this cover crop under. We demonstrated it in the community. Four of these demonstration schools are the county by the agent to teach the cover crops. We cover crops could best be turned under hundred and fifty farm acres." "In addition to receiving instructor training, we have winter cover crops, farmers of the county were taught how to use winter cover crops in fertilizers with 280 persons attending during one week of training, and situations conducted in fertilizers with 280 persons attending during one week of training, and that some of the simple ways to obtain fertilizers are to grow winter legumes and to grow as well as to maintain manure."

This club was organized 9 years ago with nine girls. Five were in a meeting, and six in a meeting during the club's meeting. Six of the girls did not meet during the meeting, and finished their work. The club sent 4 delegates to the state state conference at Hampden. Six of the girls had excellence in work. This cup has been won five times.

HAM SHOW IDEA SPREADS Evidences that the idea of the ham demonstration at Fort Valley High and Industrial School, Fort Valley, Ga, is being adopted in other state contexts is being proposed. "The ham show at Dadeville, Ala., although not so old and so widely heralded as that at Fort Valley, is not new," states D. D. Crawford, local agent for Tallapoos County, Ala. "For three successive years the Negro farmers under the auspices of the Tallapoos County Negro Farmers' Conference have held ham shows in Dadeville. These indicate annually substantial growth. They encourage the farmers to produce sufficient meat by the most economical method for their yearly needs and to have a surplus for the market. The idea of having the ham show in connection with the Tallapoos County Negro Farmers' Conference was first tried out in February, 1927. At this meeting 25 hams were shown, representing 5 communities and 15 farmers. At the 1928 show there were 75 hams entered by 50 farmers from 9 communities. In February, 1930, 35 farmers from 12 communities entered 200 hams, despite rainy weather and al most impassable roads. The business district, the Dadeville gave the Dadeville farmers the successful contestants." It is the second annual ham, hams and egg show of Mukgette County, Ohio. The event was held at Okla. May 10. Home-cured hams and bacon and home-produced eggs were on torrents. "Although the rain fall in torrents during the morning hours," reports the Mukgette County Times, "more than a third of those who would have been able to eat them we had a splendid exhibit. The show was presided over by George Davis, the committee and also president of our farm, he gave the farm a presentation. Premiums were contributed by the business men at Mukgette County, Ala., farmers' conference for 1880, $225 was given to farmers on exhibits of meat and eggs CLUB GIRLS IMPROVE KITCHENS "This week brought to a close the kitchen improvement work with the 4-H club girls. Exactly 64 farm kitchens received a real Dutch cleaning and other items of improvement work. Every kitchen's floor was thoroughly scrubbed and windows washed inside and out. Every window had freshly laundered or new curtains placed. Twelve kitchens were papered for this occasion. Four dilapidated cabinets were mended, 7 orange-box shelves were installed, and 18 small shelves were placed near the doors to be used as a washstand. Every cabinet and shelf was covered with clean papers. The dishes were all clean and in order and every cookstove was cleaned and polished. We did not get a chance to show anyone how to scour the cook vessels. In nearly every instance that was done when we arrived. "The one problem we were unable to solve was making a fit place to keep the black pots and skilllets when not in use." The most interesting item of kitchen improvement to the housewife was the improvement of the ironing board. Forty-three ironing boards were improved because this did not have to be improved. Seven were improved when we arrived. Seven were not used to ironing boards at all. Five homes were not interested in the ironing board problem. The housewives expressed a great deal of satisfaction with the work of the housewife. One said: This club work is a great thing. It was teaching the girls how to sew and now it is bringing the girls home and making them clean the kitchen and dress the ironing boards. "The better-homes work and preparation for the Negro Health Week program occurs in the home of our meeting of the better-homes chairmen of the country was called in joint meeting with the Taft Farm Women's Club to plan programs in celebration of Negro Health Week and to coordinate their home-improvement work. There are two new programs for the general clean-up and whitewash campaign was planned for each of the six districts. A day was set by every district to rid all premises of rubbish and to convert unsightly places into flowers, as whitewash places, fences and cutternets to hold a health program in connection with the local group one evening during Negro Health Week.

WHITE MEN ARE CONVICTED FOR BRIBING NEGRO 'Greenville, S. C.—(ANP)—despite vebement denials that they had bribed Rocka to kill Dan S. Willis, former brother of Greenville County and that they had anything whatever to do with her. She was accused of her and his deputy, J. H. Moore, were convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to ten years in prison. This trial has held the spotlight for more than two weeks, wits the best defense for the court. The state scored the first decisive point when Rooks was forced to bribe him to commit the murder, the white man to commit the murder, and when bribes failed threatened to put him out of the way.

What Is The Negro Doing To Help His Unemployed? (For The Associated Negro Press) Doubtless, this is putting the question pretty bluntly, but these are the days when we must make definite and frank inquiry. Furthermore, we are asking the Negro people of our entire nation this question. Why? Simply for the reason that we wish to set them all thinking, and then have them answer it. But answer it we must, for the situation is indeed critical. Upon our desk before us are a number of reports from various cities whose Negro population is from ten to forty per cent of the whole. However, in each, Negro men represent nearly fifty percent of the unemployed males and Negro women average around seventy-five percent of the unemployed females. Here is a situation which ought to make us think if we have the slightest bit of racial patriotism. It cannot be answered by that old time-worn platitude that "the Negro is always the last one hired and the first one fired." To even attempt this a type of answer is pushing the question into the corner and allowing it to answer itself in terms of sickness, misery, death, crime and every form of social and economic debasement. We happen to know that there are some Negroes who are doing all they can in the way of bringing a form of DENTAL TALKS By DR WALDO J. HOWARD Houston Dentist The Saints were Saints because they were cheerful when it was difficult to be cheerful; and patient when it was difficult to be patient; and because they pushed on when they wanted to stand still; and kept silent when they wanted to talk; and were agreeable when they wanted to be disagreeable. That was all. It was quite simple and always will be. From this we should know the effect of mental attitude has on the human body. Mentally depressed affects the human anatomy from the teeth to every part of the body. Christmas time is the most human and kindly of seasons, being full of good cheer and unaffected happiness. There may be red letter days and festival here and there throughout the year, but the Christmas season makes the civilized world stand still for both the young and the old in order that expression might be given to the generous impulses of the human heart. Christmas time is especially a joy time for the children. It is the time they are taught to see and enjoy the happy side of the big world. It is a noticeable fact that when children are happy everybody happy, and it is a good practice to make the day of joy their own greatest festival of the year. This is their own hilarious way.

They may be young, but yet nevertheless are getting great joy and spiritual comfort therefrom. Yet nevertheless, we are getting cessions in certain places we know of, the Negroes who are blessed with the gift of leadership and the genius of leadership are too busy socializing to give a hang for the disaffection of social order.

He was released from further service here last week, and after spending a few jobless days, decided that he would return to his former abode of labor, and so, he went to the manager and offered his services at half what he had formerly received, and what's more—even offered to produce waiters who would work for half of what the waiters were being paid. Faced with such an irresistible offer the manager cut the wages, cut the working force, and cut the hours. Result: the waiters quit, and a few more Ne-groes were out of work. RES.

Those in his hands and that he The opening of the se looks today. It was here to be located. words and dropped vague hints of his official connections and of a big project he has undertaken, secretive and mysterious hints fanned through the pages in the village still farther. Two or three days after he had made his camp, the old man began making mysterious trips over the sheep hills near at hand. On one occasion he was seen on the crest of Cedar Bluff, a high cliff of rock near the town. Those who saw him noticed that he carried something in his hands and that he was making strange modions, with which he carried. The opening of the excavation made by the twelve men as it looks today. It was here that the burial treasure was supposed to be located. The old man's lone and mysterious plague into the wilderness entailed the man's camp after supper every night. His servitude was awarded after a few days. The old man took him into his confidence, under the all were pledged to airtight secret-entry to the location of the treasure, the financial arrangements made. The men were sawmill hands, timber workers and railroad section men. All made, good wages. All gave up their jobs for the search for the else. He fed them except opy, wisdom; foll love to satisfy them no "truck" with a lew was worth th he told Tauren he had been licensed by the government to hunt for pirates and an instrument he used to locate them. It had a dial something like the gauge of a ship's speedometer. He dived when gold and silver and precision knives were near. Figure 11 shows the depth of the treasure in the book called the Seventh Book of Moses. This book prophesied that much hidden treasure would and could be found. Tauren had heard of "mimical roars" and similar conferences that were alarmanic. He had hidden the hidden treasure but he had never seen it. The old man assured him that it was the only one of its kind in exposition, and he coined the formula in the Seventh Book of Moses. It was greatly impressed and his interest in the old man's mysterious activities mounted. Eventually the old "doctor" took Tauren with him to the treasure. He was on a Sunday afternoon when the ancient "doctor of science" led Tauren by a circuitous route to a spot of a haghawk or sage that ran from the middle of a slope a mile high. The haghawk was tied two or three hundred yards in the rear of the bluff. There was a small cave where once been used for hauling beams. The old man set up his instrument at the spot pointed out and showed how the hand of the dial moved around. This was convincing beyond a doubt that there was gold in the hinterland, where they stood. He made a proposition. The instrument indicated that treasure was a considerable宝物, a good deal of digging would be necessary. They would form a company, who would the excavate the excavation must pay either twenty-five or fifty dollars for his expenses in local excavation treasure and receiving it. Turner and agreed to make and agree in fifty dollars. Vague rumors as to the treasure in the town and the town in which they took each of the men, one at the time, to the spot where his instrument and all were signed up in short order. By EYE G. BILLINGS All were pledged to airtight secrecy as to the location of the treasure and the financial arrangements made. The men were sawmill hands, timber workers and railroad section men. All made good wages. All gave up their jobs for the search for the elusive yellow metal, "the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow." Most of the crew of twelve were practical level-headed men with families to support, who ordinarily, would not have risked their jobs, time and money on something that well might turn out to be the merest wij-o-wi-up but the search for lost or buried treasures is a long-term task to take strong hold on them's imagination. Moreover in this case the old man hinted it was a chest of gold that had been buried deep in the ground in Civil War days by bushwhacker bandits. Before beginning the digging the old man commanded the men to build him a little house in the limbs of a tree that stood at the edge of the small lake which lay at the foot of Cedar Bluff. The tree-house was about a quarter of a mile south of the bluff. The Spanish moss which he had brought in this wagon from several days down South, which is which had used as bedding, was hung on limbs around the elevated shanty. The tree-house, he explained, was to propitiate the "Spirits." Each man furnished his own digging tools and before they began digging down the following rules: The location of the excavation must be kept secret the man must keep the excavation down to come with them; there must be no sweating, loud talking or shouting that they anger the spirits and cause them to move the treasure deeper in the earth. All of the men were humble to coewear and it is triplicate to their purpose that they were able to obtain them during "anebee" for several weeks. The could not be plainly plastered on the ground so the treasure the hunters were the treasure they were as plums as the most orthodox person in the town but took so much money to take so much money in the "splirts" but the old doctor was Saints Claus. When the man was kept about half of the man had paid the old man the amount stipulated. Some of the relics were for two weeks and the others who had not paid, the one who worked for two weeks and the others who had for nearly four weeks. The excavators started a hole about two feet square. Half of the crew worked on the excavation while the others stood on heavy hoard blocks across the opening and worked on the excavation. It was a clumy method and a slow process. It was crew practically all of the time and crew practically all of the time and AN AGED and venerable-looking colored man drove a team of docile western ponies hitched to a covered wagon into a clump of trees at the edge of the colored section of Allenton in Southeast Missouri and proceeded to establish a little camp. He was alone. The people of a small town are always excited by curiosity as to the identity and business of any stranger who harries amongst them for a while and the inhabitants of the colored suburb of Allenton were no exception. They could see that the stranger was very old, and his snow-white beard and hair and his far-war look and air of wisdom gave him a patriarchal and uncommon appearance. The ingenuity of the stranger who called at his wagon with hints that they were "dying" to know his identity and mission he gave little information. He told them, however, that he was Dr. Moses Doolittle, Doctor of Science, and that he was ninety years old. He used big and impressive From out of the black void of the pit ascended a weird and fearsome figure—the white, ghostly figure of a human form, having a death mask of a face, from the eyes and mouth of which streamed a brilliant white light. An uncarthly blood curdling shriek ascended from the pit. The old man was camped, was Samuel Turner. Turner had a good job as engine man at a sawmill. He had more than his share of Mother Eve's predominant quality—curiosity. The old man's activity pestered him. Turner also entertained day dreams. While listening to the drone of the saw as it plowed through syress and oak logs and when he heaved slabs of wood into the roaring furnace he entertained visions of sudden wealth acquired easily. Turner however, was a good and steady worker; he would not rob a bank or stage a pay-roll holdup. The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, though, had a considerable lure for him. old man was camped, a sawmill. He had more osity.

The treasure was found, he said and made progress. The men who at the beginning had a pay-day and paid up. Then when the treasure was still away an accident happened. Bill took the money with drill - he was nervous because he worked. It hit the tobacco when he Tom forgot and sword. It was a hard for him to keep from swearing at the "Now you have done it!" mounted the old doctor. "That will make the treasure the mightier sight deeper." He made a test with his instrument. "It is now ten feet down from Bedford," the man little bewildered at the unfriendly act of the spirit and the treasure. "Then the old man ordered a layoff for two or three days. Some of the man talked to me when away and told me out of the old man hearing, but they did not. There was no more awaering and anxiety. It was close to dark late one afternoon when a depth of twenty-nine feet lay by my time. I announced that the treasure was only one foot lower. All of the man had passed by this time. The old man did not at all excused because of the alleged closeness of the precious object too dark to work he told them to come back early the next morning and the crew of the crew were on edge with eagerness and anticipation and some so the job could be finished that night but the old man would not agree to and the spirit would be displaced. Now that they were supposed to be close to the treasure Sun and some of the others, were afraid that the old man would digit up and make away with it while they were gone so he decided to watch them all night.

From out of the black void of the pit as appended a wizard and fearsome figure—the white, ghostly figure of a human form, having a death mask of a face, from the eyes and mouth of which streamed a brilliant white light. An unearthly blood moulding shriek ascended from the pit. 2 HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1930 There was about half a moon that night and there was some light. Turner and his companions sat down in the deep shade of the dense foliage so they could not be seen in case the old man showed up. The night was warm and balmy and the self-appointed watchmen do-ed a little. About eleven o'clock they were brought to a wide-awake state and a sitting-up position by the sound of footsteps. They recognized Tom Sides, one of the diggers, and two other men who did not belong to the town. Tom was known to be tricky. The men with him, those so. They walked to the ladder leading to the bottom of the excavation. "Wait!" whispered Sam to his companions who had started to get up. "If they go down we'll pull up the ladder so they can't get out." Sides took the lead, carrying a flashlight and he was almost out of night down the ladder when his decent suddenly stopped. He began to scramble back up the ladder, at the same time letting loose a whoop of terror. The trio watching him from the brushes saw the cause of the whoop. From out of the black void of the pit ascended a weird and fearsome figure with white, ghostly figure of a man from having a death mask of a face, from the eyes and mouth of which streamed a brilliant white light. An unearthly, blood-curdling shriek ascended from the pit. Sides and the two men with him leaped from the premises and plunged along the old road to the bluff like wild buffaloes on a stampede. Turnover and his partner followed they were�ered. He learing the ring footsteps behind them. Sides and the pair with him beat it still faster. In their fright they had forgottenly, evidently, all about the bluff or they did not realize in which direction they were running. The three men behind heard them so that they went over the cliff and heard the splash of the water as the three men landed in the lake. The water was thirty feet deep at the base of the bluff at that time, though the lake has since been emptied by a drainage ditch. News of the episodes of the night rejoined all members of the digging crew early the next morning and only a few of the men showed up at the evasation—Turner and his two companions of the night before and one other man. They could see the bottom of the excavation had not been disturbed since they left it the even-to-even-after. The men was wrought here. They repaired to his treehouse to see if they could find him but he and his wagon team, parked on the edge of the lake near the house, was disappeared. Sam and the other men performed a little distiny digging in the pit but they were soon convinced it was useful, and built. Many of the members of the "company" believed the old "doctor of science" had made away with the treasure and they still believe it but Turner, as soon as he had recovered his good sense and judgment again, understood the details of the old sharper's game. He had probably wanted to live in the tree-house to get above the mosquitoes and missa; he and prohibited seeing so them could have been waste if any dupo suspected he was being swindled; because he knew twelve hearty "weed masticators" would soon turn the place into a hog wallow. The old "doctor" had staged the digging so that the alleged treasure would only be a foot down when night came. He figured, rightly, that somebody would try to steal the mythical treasure. If he could give the would-be thieves a scare and make them and everybody else believe the place was haunted by spirits it was likely no more digging would be done and it could never know they had been swindled. If they went ahead with it they would learn they had been duped, and might have officers follow and arrest him. He had delayed things and held on until all of the men had paid him. At the regular church conference at Allenton some two or three weeks later, Sam Turner asked Professor J. S. Club, superintendent of the Lincoln High School of a nearly city who was brought as a delegate, if there was any such instrument as a genuine treasure finder. "There is nothing to this effect in the way he repaired the professor. That is, of course, any instrument that is misappropriate to gold and silver like iron and steel. I have heard there must be iron and steel, but they are fake, swindles, humbugs. It may be stated here, in case any of them were in his company and the two men in his company did not down when they tumbled down of "ink or swim, root hog or die." There is one thing Sam Turner has never understood—just how the old man was watching them and they were watching it without their seeing him and just how he had prepared the apparatus and the unearthly shriek.

"NEGRO PREACHERS ARE RACKETEERS" That is the silliest statement that it. L. Mencken, editor of Mercury Magazine, ever made—which is certainly putting it in the superlative degree of silly. That is how Mencken was reported in the public press, several weeks ago. It has become popular among the "smart. Acks" to sneer at "preachers," and especially at "Negro preachers." Certainly, the average Negro preacher, administering to a congregation of washerwomen, chauffeurs and day laborers, who have precious little to give him, in much less open to the charge of "racketeering" than are those who are flattering congregations of millionaires and "big business" sharks. And also and if you please, the Negro is never a nearly in the class of the race-teetering and sensation-mongering editors, whose financial success is based on the sale-value of their output to intellectual and cultural morons. Only a few seasons ago this same Mencken was inering at Negro achievement in literature and the other arts. He seems to approve only of the half-underworld output, or of clownishness and risque smartness. Of course, Mencken is a Southerner, which is not a crime; but the "old South" is still deep in his marrow, which is a misfortune. Some Negro preachers, like some white preachers, and like quite a few white editors, have great human faults. But there is also more honest-to-goodness religion and worth in the average Negro religious leader in America than in the religious leaders of any other race in America. "This world's goods" are certainly not so tempting to the Negro religious leader as to the white leader, for nothing tampts you which you know to be beyond your reach. The motive of the Negro Christian leader can come much nearer the ideals of the founder of that religion than can the motives of pastors owned by millionaires. And the Negro preacher does not propagate race prejudice or race hate, and does not welcome the Mencken brand of patronizing, which is smeared all over with inintensive contempt. Now, let us tell him something: I H. L. Mencken ever has the honor of getting widely acquainted among Negro preachers in America, he will come in contact with more unselfishness and sincerity, and with a fine type of gentlemanliness than he has found in the circles in which he has been moving. Most of those individuals who have riser to any eminence in the Negro world, can remember the absolutely necessary help or inspiration of some Negro preacher, of a sympathetic, understanding and superior character. Most of the Negro artists, especially the singers, will testify to the truth of this estimate. If Mencken should ask a song artist like Marian Anderson, how she got a chance to be heard of and noticed by the "editors," she would tell him that the pastor of the unknown little Negro church, where she was a Sunday school pupil, heard her, "discovered her, and brought her forward, long before the Menckens had anything to do with her. Much, perhaps most, that is great and good among American Negroes, can trace itself to such beginnings. We know that there are many unarmed individuals among Nugroho religion statement quoted from Mancen made statements only to only Nugroho, a lao and aboose and not only to Nugroho, but to all self-respecting Nugroho. He can not to unbuckle the shoes of the Nugroho priest, "your holy men". Certainly he can not the word of Nugroho放领者. The Negro church, under Negro church, first centers of culture and education, in music, drama, politics and ecclesiology. The Negro church doctor and lawyers will remember that they got a start in professional training, and the Negro pastor of the church which they attended to the racial self-respect of the people, spired them with confidence in their own professional men? On the other hand, most of the attitudes of the people to lose confidence in them. As a class, the Negro preacher is about the only one left in his profession to support, unqualifiedly, the doctrine of the "brotherhood of men". He is the great majority of the edum The most charitable way, perhaps, in which we can receive these allly words of H. L. Mankenin, is to keep them on his part. We hold no brief for the "holy man," but neither do we the "qualified and indiscriminate attacks upon the Negro man by a most decedently "unhappy man." We do not have that knowledge among Negro preachers that know that among Negro preachers are many "false prophets," some plain fewer than are to be found among the emotion-mongering officers. OPEN $30,000 PLAYHOUSE FOR DURRAM NEGROBS Durham, N. C. (ANP)-With a gala celebration attending the opening of the new elaborate Royal Theatre here this week, coloured chateau-style costumes will be provided by a private. The theatre was built at an approximate cost of $50,000, and in the first all-Negro theatre in the country, the Western Electric sound equipment. THE HOUSTON INFORMER that as time goes on, there will be leas and less attention paid to this type which, holding on to the traditions of days gone by, feels that "God will take care of us" and that leadership consists in holding a good job as long as possible and of giving to the people as little real service as possible. One may well ask in this crisis, "Where are the service leaders? What are they waiting on?" And the people who hold the holidays will give their resolutions will do little good in this crisis. The people need food. The people need leadership for the future when they face fewer and poorer jobs. Big speeches and loud talk will no longer "get it." PROTECT THE POOR AGAINST GRAFTERS Bread lines are growing longer from day to day, and with the approach of the really hard portion of the winter, there will be more and more of our people who must be helped with food and clothes. Already the demand for help is almost greater than the supply. Every agency for the relief of suffering is being taxed to its capacity and extra help is being required to take care of the many demands. It has been observed on several occasions that not really in need of help are getting into these lines and are drawing supplies from those who need them more. Particularly has this been noted at the X. W. C. A., where the work of registering people for the relief of suffering comes have been found in the lines. It has actually happened that one or two people have driven up in cars and asked to be given groceries. Two persons whose living is made, according to report, by methods which guarantee good income, were found in the city. They should be properly. The poor should be protected against such grafters. Every person who gets a supply of groceries when he or she is able to purchase food for himself, robs a really poor person. And there should be no hesitation on the part of the general public in helping those who have charge of the registration to weed out the garbage. They should be properly. Their lack of knowledge is nothing other than a guarantee of increased misery among us. Here again we see evidence of the great need and tragic lack of proper leadership and team work. If we were really organized as a race group and honestly interested in our own best welfare, we would be able to so advise these people a kind of thing that cannot happen. Let us hope for better days as time goes on. A NEGRO STATUE IN A WHITE CHURCH A large statue of Booker T. Washington has been placed in the new Riverside Baptist Church of New York. This is the church of John D. Rockefeller and it was erected at a cost of $6,000,000. In the edifice are monuments to every race of the earth. Those monuments are placed in the church to place in placement in a white church should realize that monuments are raised to men who are thought to have contributed to the sum total of the good of the world. Time has a fine way of bringing the work of all men to its proper setting. And there can be no doubt that the work of all men is grown in favor and the work which he did while living has taken on added importance in the thinking of the world. Certainly there is every reason to feel so when this church, composed as it is of the wealthiest men and the best minds of America, grants him a place. The situation there is a lesson. Booker Washington was primarily a man who worked efficiently. The applause of the multitude was secondary always to the effective doing of the task which he had chosen. Despite the protests of his own people, in many instances, he pursued his work of uplift and progress. His theory has been proven sound, not only for Negroes but for all other races. He has been conscious of thought he had only in mind the salvation of his own folk. Time will only serve to increase the esteem in which he is held. His work is his monument. There can be others among us. There should be. But there will not be until unselfish service, unwarying conviction and unlimited courage are brought to the task of the work. The conscious thought of the attitude of the public is made secondary. RECOGNITION THAT WAS DUE News reports last week of the recent meeting of the presidents and deans of the Negro land grant colleges stated that W. R. Banks, principal of Prairie View, had been chosen as vice president of the organization. The Informer views the choice of this president as a good one. In the first place, the work of Principal Banks as the head of Prairie View, largest of all of the Negro land grant colleges in point of campus and facilities, has commanded him to his associates all over the country. Not only have the standards of the school been raised to a new high level, but the facilities for more efficient training, under his direction, have been increased larger. The work of Prairie View has been mentored by the various philanthropic organizations by reason of the contacts and the splendid work of this principal. That Prairie View, for this reason, is entitled to the more than ordinary attention cannot be doubted. This recognition of the Texas students should again call the attention of Texans interested in education to the fact that Negro land grant colleges have the funds of the state through the land grant colleges. The work of Prairie View during the past few years, the growth of its influence and the increase in the efficiency of its plant and curricula should serve only to point out the direction of the trend of the future and suggest that the extent to which such schools will be involved in programs should be studied carefully and helped as far as possible.

Hutcheson, Jr. to the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Judge Hutcheson has had a distinguished career as a lawyer and jurist. Out of thirteen decisions rendered by him, five have been reversed by that greatest of courts. In three of them the Supreme Court reinstated his decisions after they had been reversed by the Circuit Court of Appeals. In private life Judge Hutcheson has been just as straightforward and unimpeachable as a citizen as he has been in his notable public work. The Informe has been published in a fully deserved. Further, The Informe feels that t he is a tribute to Houston and Texas of which all loyal Houstonians and Texans should be proud. True The Informer does not agree with the decision of Judge Hutcheson in Grigby against Harris, where he upheld the right to vote in the county and state Democratic primaries, after the repeal of the famous old Article 3107 of the Texas statutes, which specifically excluded Negroes from such primaries, and which the Supreme Court held unconstitutional in Nixon versus Herman. And The Informer believes that, when a proper case arises, the Supreme Court in Grigby versus Harris, a contrary conclusion will be reached. But The Informer is not so rabid or hidebound as to feel that an able judge is unfit for promotion on the sole ground that he rendered a decision not to our liking. In a democracy, where the chief reason for having judges is that they shall constitute the tribunal for the settlement of disputes, it is necessary to the judge to have a good judge who is able and fearless judge shall have the support of those who lose as well as those who win in cases decided by him. The losers should be good losers when they are satisfied that their case has been decided by a judge who is able, upright, and honest, that he has consciously endeavored to decide the case according to the law and the facts. The losers also feel that the Negroes of South Texas believe that Judge Joseph C. Hutcheson Jr. is, upright, honest and fearless. And we feel that his nomination to the Court Circuit of Appeals should be and will be confirmed. WHERE ARE THE LEADERS NOW? During every time of stress and strain among the masses there appear some whose vision and courage are above the ordinary, and they take the lead in the work of relief and literally bring on others. The people who are the leaders of the operers are full of the work of relief among members of the other race. Organizations at this season have been at work finding jobs, securing presents for needy children, investigating the cases of the poor, and securing food for them and otherwise making the work of relief a priority. They are usually planning for the future. They are attempting to get in touch with those who will have the job of hiring workers in the future, and they are attempting to see to it that orderly procedure is being followed. And there can be no doubt but that the thinking in these hard times among white people has gone to the lengths of studying just what advantages can be gained for their own people when the return to normalcy begins. When this scarcity of jobs is over, the people who are working in the field of groves will never hold again. There are many bits of choice land which Negroes will lose during the foreclosures of this period which Negroes will never again be able to buy. And all of these people will be able to identify soon as time goes on in existence as the result of their thinking. What are Negroes doing? What are they thinking? If we are to judge by the actual work which is being done; if the way in which they are cooperating to bring about a better state of life is being done, in which they are thinking, they are as usual, standing still. HARRISBURG Harrisburg, Texas — Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gregory, Corpus Christ, speak at a school for students with relatives. George Parison is back from corpus Christi.

Mr. and Mrs. John Thomas have open meetings, and confectionery stand at the school. In Texas there has no attempt in a statewide way to get together and think through the problem. There has been no real definite effort in local communities, as a general rule, to work together to solve the job which every day are becoming less and less for members of the White Can be hoped for the future? In what way do Negro leaders hope to justify themselves? No other situation in recent years has so brought to light the impotence of the race to plan and organize the interests as has this unemployment situation. It has been proposed that we have had the control of money, but we have had no vision as to its use for our own protection. We have property, but we have no vision as to its use in our own behalf. And despite the fact that we have amassed millions in various ways, they still cannot solve the problem. We have no vision that who hold the lead among us have been cured with short sight and little vision. It is pitiful.

Swathens. As we apprehend end of the year, we grow reminiscent. Looking at the past, we recall days when the load was so heavy, we recall days when we felt like dumping the load and fleeing the tasks. But these days were always a fresh wash. We recall nights when weary, heavy and couches scarcely cared whether or not murging. But these nights follow walked after mornings of sunny dawn presents a new year of opportunity. There were praises the same that life seemed barren without them, that life seemed barren without them, that life went almost along just, the same And then there were the high spots paid to the hard-earned compliment and paid to us hard earned compliment and paid to the multitude applauded and the population waved main branches and the human which is so proud respond to these days. But these days gave place to others who were unfavorable criticism and when the applauding populace of yesterday beckoned to us. What is your lot? If it be drudgery, pain, sorrow, perplexity, disgrace, or ease, luxury, joy, tranquility, power, be assured this too shall pass away. Dr. Frank Crane once said: "Everything has an end, but the sum of things goes on. The most eternal things that I know of, that is, that seem to express eternity, are not the mountains nor the stars, but strangely enough the rivers, which are continually changing. They are eternal because they are constantly refreshed. As we think over the failures of the year, let us be glad that nothing lasts forever. As we think of our successes let us hope that they came not to sojourn but to abide, but let us understand that in the future they will be valuable to us only in so far as we are able to make them eternal by constantly refreshing them.
