KANSAS Vol. X HOWARD UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT SAYS NE-GROES NEED 2,000 PREACHERS EACH YEAR (Lincoln News Service.) (Washington News Service) Washington, May 1.—"Religious Needs of the American Negro" were recently pointed out by Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University, when he addressed the Churchmen's Club. He said it is estimated that two thousand trained Negro preachers are needed annually to provide for the race's religious needs. "Only 65 are graduated now from educational institutions, and of this number the majority are from Howard University," said Dr. Durkee. It was stated that the University hopes to raise $500,000 for religious educational purposes, which, "if gotten on foot," said an alumnus, "would be safely guarded from any such calamities as befall the appropriation for Howard's Medical School."

She was a loving Christian character and her friends were by the hundreds. Mrs. Bryant was one of First A. M.

BLACK MAMMY BILL "KILLED" BY HOUSE COMMITTEE BLACK MAMMY BILL "KILLED" BY HOUSE COMMITTEE (Lincoln News Service.) Washington, May 1.—When the "Black Mammy" statute bill recently came up for consideration by the House Committee, a motion to "kill" the bill was carried and the statute project, commemorative of ante-bellum days in "dear old Dixie," was disposed of for good and all time. THIS IS THE VERSE IN MEMORY OF OUR DARLING MOTHER. In loving memory of dear wife, mother and grandmother, Mrs. Maria White, who passed into eternal rest May 1, 1923. The world may change from year to year, And friends from day to day; But never will the one we loved, From our memory fade away. She is gone. Oh, how we miss her— Never shall her memory fade; Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger 'round The grave where she was laid. Sadly missed by MITCHELL WHITE, husband.

Fort Worth, Tex.; May 1.—"Black men believe they have the most beautiful, attractive and refined women, and they are mindful of them; but they like to see them look their best at all times and also act their best. Men believe that women should organize more and teach deportment in the homes, on the streets, and elsewhere. Loud talking and laughing on street cars, and, above all, the discovery by so many women that their stocking is coming down or their shoes are coming untied, only when they are on the streets, should be eschewed. Fix up your stockings at home, ladies!"—(From Fort Worth News.) Mr. and Ms. Ed Ransom have returned to our city to reside. POLITICS ADVOCATE NEGLECT—NEGLECT—NEGLECT. THE CIVIC LEAGUE WILL MEET TUESDAY THE SIXTH. Men are now, much as they were in the days of Noah, neglectful of those matters and things which vitally concern them. The members of the League would be surprised should they turn their eyes upon their own conduct, in matters and things which concern them most. Just think of an invitation—to discuss and to devise ways and means to obtain our Community house—being open and unused by us. Think of what it involves—and then think—that it is The League which is thus NEGLECTING. And that is not all that is being NEGLECTED—think of what has been done for BOYS—not our BOYS—but our BOYS should have had just as much done for them—and if you please, DONE BY US. And that is not all—there is all the rest, which I will not enumerate—which we have not done. Will anyone be in his place Tuesday evening—to consider the matters and things which demand our attention? Among such matters—the Zoning proposition, the Fire Department Bond proposition, the Community house, the schools and the divers other vital issue which need our thought and action. The deluge—followed the days of NEGLECT, when Noah sounded the warning to his Fellows—is it reasonable to expect a high degree of prosperity and success to follow the same things, in these days in which we live—under the same sun and stars, which coursed over men in that age. Bring your answer Tuesday evening. I. F. BRADLEY, President. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

Number 37 MIDNIGHT TAKES OFF HIS HAT TO PRESIDENT COLLIER Governor of State, Staff and City Officials Present at Dedication of New Building St. Augustine, Fla., May 1.—I want to take off my hat to Prof. Nathial W. Collier, president of the Florida Normal and Industrial Institute, located at this place, and which is destined to be the leading institution in Florida for the training of our young people and old people, too, if they desire to be trained here. I have told you about Prof. Collier from time to time, and all that I have said has not reached the real man yet, and I will never be able to tell you who he is and what he is doing for racial uplift. He is just without a doubt a living wonder and an educational wizard. He has been right in one place for over thirty years, and he has made it and has grown with it. Professor Collier was but a young man, a youth, when I met him in Jacksonville at the Florida Baptist Academy. Prof. J. T. Brown was the president and perhaps the next year, Dr. Brown resigned and Prof. N. W. Collier was elected president, and I thought it then to be a wise choice and it was. He had a clean cut life, a life full of inspiration and aspiration, a life directed to helping the young people of his race, and any other race that needed it. A christian young man. He took hold of the work, making good in every act, official or otherwise. The fathers soon discovered that they had acted wisely. It was not long before the whole management of the school was placed in his hands, and he has managed it well. Right by his side has been one of the most remarkable women of this race of ours, Miss Sarah A. Blocker, who also entered work in her youth, fresh from college, and a brilliant young woman, but while she is still in youth in thought, yet she is without a single black hair, or married one either for that. While Professor Collier has had full charge of the whole school, Miss Blocker, who was born into it and with it, has charge of the young women—in fact her whole life is wrapped up in the work. She has inspired young women by the hundreds during these thirty or more years she has been in the work—and to do this you know you will have to be broad hearted—in fact your heart must be fully consecrated to service, and serving a thankless people at times, for such is the record of the human family. They would destroy the hen which laid the golden egg if they could only do so. I am delighted to pay a tribute to this wonderful woman, and to say to the public that her life has been dedicated to God and to the cause of education of our youth. For years this school has stood in what was known as the ark, but not the ark of the covenant. Yet it answered for the training of the youth for years, and then the white people of St. Augustine thought it would be fine to have a school like that in their locality, so they invited Professor Collier to come there. It was through the Chamber of Commerce and the citizens that a committee was appointed to go to Jacksonville, and extend the invitation, and Professor Collier backed up by the Trustees, appointed a committee to go down and see about it. I had the pleasure of being on the committee. They gave some offers in land and otherwise. Perhaps you want to know what happened, and I will tell you. After the committee returned and reported, the proposition was accepted and the school moved to St. Augustine. The people who invited it took special interest, and now they have about 850 acres of land, one of the fines locations in Florida, and the good work is going right on. Buildings of a temporary nature have been erected, and the first permanent building was dedicated on April 24, and was known as Founders' Day and the dedication of Andrew Anderson Hall, and I just wish you could have been there to have seen for yourself. At 10 o'clock in the morning there were exercises in the new chapel, and (Continued on Page 4) --- --- PAGE TWO THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Proprietor. THOS.

There are 35 colored builders and building contractors in Columbus, O. "They say" that matrimony is a great game if you can finance it. Our young ladies in Oklahoma City have organized a business and professional Girls' Club. W. G. Banks of St. Louis is president of the People's Overall and Shirt Manufacturing Company. The naming of the "ten greatest" does not necessarily call for a list of the "ten smallest." Dr. Wilbur A. Drake of Norfolk, has been appointed Assistant Surgeon to the Virginia Railway and Power Co. When you catch a Democratic senator with the goods on his person, he howls that he has been "framed." In every group of 1,000 colored married women in the District of Columbia, 497 ae engaged in gainful employment. It is difficult to make a defeated politician believe that "The voice of the people is the voice of God." Editor Walls of the Star of Zion wants the Zionists to cut out dancing—and they have been calling him a "Modernist." Our well known Cincinnati bachelor editor observes that very few men enjoy being kissed in public. "In springtime a young man's fancy," etc. An analysis of the primary election returns indicates that the "Migrant" has been taught how to place the little cross mark on his ballot. The women of the Nyasa Basin in South Africa always kneel before their husbands when talking to them. Yet there are those who oppose the Garvey "Back-to-Africa" movement. Most of us remember when the "Jim Crow"rules on trains entering Illinois from the South became inoperative when the State line was reached. But that was before the advent of our great and mighty political leaders. Rev. S. W. Johnson of Houston, Texas, a noted divine and evangelist, has been secured by Rev. Morrow, pastor of Mason Memorial Methodist church, to put on a campaign for souls and the first service will be held Sunday, May 4th. The meeting will hold two weeks. All are invited to attend these meetings. Dr. Johnson is a wonderful spiritual speaker. Come and hear him. Mrs. Mattie Miles, wife of Mr. A. Miles, grocer, 1208 North Ninth street, who has been ill for two weeks, is able to be out, which her friends will be glad to hear. Bishop W. T.

Brooks, pastor filled his pulpit, taking for his subject, "Does it Pay to Serve God?" It was a strong message that set the congregation to thinking from the very beginning of the discourse. At the close of this great sermon, Bishop Vernon opened the doors of the church and five came forward and joined, one a young man who desired to change his life for the Master. Rev. Wm. Mitchell, preached at the evening service to a nice Sunday evening audience and his message was well received. The musical numbers by the choir reached the hearts of their hearers, as they always do. A great choir. The Junior choir was out in full force, at the evening service and their music was soul stirring. First church has two as fine choirs as is needed in any church. The Sabbath school was largely attended and a fine lesson, which was brought out by the fine corps of of teachers of great good to the scholars. Junior Endeavor meeting at 5:30 had its usual attendance. Mrs. Powell a visitor in the city from Louisiana, addressed the league. The speaker was very interesting and gave some excellent advice to the young people, which was highly appreciated. The pulpit will be filled Sunday morning by a strong minister, and every Sunday until the pastor returns from the General Conference. Come out and hear these men of God. The class leaders had a special meeting Monday evening of great good and expect to put on a campaign to arouse the members spiritually. Come to class tonight and receive a blessing.

Corner Fourth and Stewart; Rev. S. D. Rhone, Pastor, 128 Greeley, Fairfax 2330—Rev. N. B. Robinson, Assistant Pastor. --- A very large audience greeted the assistant pastor Sunday morning. He preached a spiritual sermon and those who heard him rejoiced. There was one addition. In the evening our pastor preached from the subject, "Evidence of the True Messiah." His treatment of the subject showed great preparation. It was a subject that one ponders over long after the service is ended. Our hearts were filled with the truths coming from his message. Our Christian Endeavor is growing and the subjects are becoming more interesting each Sunday at 6:00 o'clock. Those who take advantage of our weekly Wednesday night prayer meetings are growing steadily in strength for the tasks ahead. Last Sunday (Easter) our church was crowded to overflowing at the exercises given by the Sunday school under the direction of Mrs. Rhone and Mrs. Holiday. Each department of the Sunday school was represented in song, exercises or pantomine. The wee tots and older pupils played their parts well especially in musical numbers. Many consider it the best Easter program we have given. Sisters Bruce, White and Winston are still sick. The King and Queen contest ends Thursday night. Visitors are welcome to come and boost their choice, men or women. Who wins? The musical program given by the pupils of Mme. Summers, Friday night was excellent. A large and appreciative audience enjoyed every number. The lecture and program by Alumni of Douglass hospital Friday night, promises to be educational and entertaining. THE KANSA'S CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Sunday, April 27 was another beautiful Sabbath and people crowded into Metropolitan Baptist Church to worship. Pastor Bronson preached the last of his series of sermons at 11 a.m., and made an appeal for all to abide by the sermon. Some united with the church, Mrs. Lulu Summers played a classic piano solo and Professor Langston played a beautiful violin solo. The Sunday school was large and interesting; and the B. Y. P. U. was good. At 8 p. m. girls of the Northeast Junior High school sang well and Pastor Bronson had a young man from the Topeka Industrial school to speak. Next Sunday, May 4th, Revival Services begin. Dr. C. A. Washington of Arkansas will preach. Come and hear him. They say he is wonderful. The Mission Circle is doing fine, and meets every Thursday at 1 p. m. The Sewing Circle is also doing fine. Prayer meetings were held every night this week. The Wide Awake Club gave $50 in the collection. The Home Department Bible Classes had a fine reception last Friday night at Rev. Bronson's residence. Chicken sandwiches, fruit salad and ice cream and cake were served to the crowd of guests. The B. Y. P. U. gave a fine play at the church. Don't forget to come to the Revival beginning May 4 and bring a sinner or someone to join. Come to Metropolitan. All are welcome. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH REV. E. M. MOSELEY, Pastor. The friends and members of Mt. Olive Baptist church gathered early for religious worship. The Bible Band of Men and Sunday school opened at 9:00 a.m. and had a good lesson. The church services opened with a very spiritual prayer service which gave life to the following meeting. The pastor's text, Psalm 42.1-2: "As the hart panteth after the water brooks so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? Subject: "Christians zeal for God brings about a cooperation with the Holy Spirit for his good." He emphasized this union and cooperation has done more for us than any thing else in our coming life's obstacles. His discourse was made so impressive until his hearers hearts burned within them while he talked with them by the way. All witnessed that the Holy Spirit blessed his discourse. At noon the pastor and his good wife gave a grand entertainment at the pastor's residence for his officers and friends. Many of whom attended and enjoyed the delicious dainties prepared and had a good time, long to be remembered which helps to cooperate the ties of love and friendship existing between our good pastor and his people. The night services were spiritual. The pastor's text from Revelations. Subject: "The great day of His wrath has come and who shall be able to stand." He emphasized for the sinners the danger of the wrath of God and had several prayers for the ten sinners who came forward for prayer. The contributions were good. The meeting is going on all the week. Read the Advocate CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD. Rev. A. S. Mayfield, Pastor, 312 Nebraska Avenue.

Department Urges More Houses for Birds Birds may be gathered about us in all seasons of the year with ease and certainty, according to a bulletin from the Department of Agriculture, merely by offering what they desire. In winter they are often pushed for food, and if we supply this need they will report daily at the lunch counter and help to relieve the tedium of our indoor life. In summer they care less for food provided by their human friends, and other means must be sought to attract them about the home. They appreciate fresh water for bathing and drinking. A shallow pool of varying depth, if only a foot across, becomes on hot days a center of attraction for all the birds in the vicinity, and it may be made with little effort and material; only a small quantity of cement is required, or if that be lacking, a pan with stones in it set in the ground will be equally serviceable. Birds are desirable about the premises not only on account of their beauty and song, but because of their economic worth, says the bulletin. They are especially useful during the breeding period as insect destroyers, when they have to work early and late to obtain sufficient food for their nestlings, and their movements at this time are more interesting than during any other season. If safe retreats are furnished in which birds can rear their young comfortably, most of them will be occupied. If feathers, bits of wool or twine are put out, a dozen birds will make use of them. The practice of erecting bird houses in this country, while now nationwide, is not so common and uniformly distributed as it should be, and more extended provisions of this nature cannot fall to result in a largely increased number of house birds, says the department. Imitations of Nature Man's inventions are frequently only imitations, more or less clumsy, of nature's own devices. It would appear, for instance, that even insects have sounding board, although they may be supposed to know nothing of the laws of acoustics. Entomologists have found on the under side of the forewings of two Japanese insects, of the families cicarla, a curious pit or hollow, closely connected with an organ believed to be used by the insect for producing student sounds. The pit would evidently serve to concentrate the sound of the shell-shaped orchestra stands and reflect the melody of the instruments to the ears of the auditors. In the Khari hills of India another species of the same insect has been found which possesses a similar set of organs. The shrill, creaking sounds that insects produce seldom fall pleasantly upon our ears, but they must produce a different effect on the insect world, else nature would hardly have provided these little musicians with sounding boards. Three-Wheeled Automobile The three-wheeled automobile is growing in popularity in Europe. There are today in Europe seven manufacturers of the three-wheeler. This machine is not to be mistaken for the side car, from which it differs in having a roomy body like an ordinary automobile, the difference being that one wheel at the rear supplies the tractive power. The three-wheeler, in competition with the motorcycle combination and four-wheelers, has won 23 gold medals, and 15 silver medals in meets. It holds an economy record of 67.1 miles per gallon, also a speed record of 82.2 miles an hour.—Scientific American. Why He Laughed "Is there anything the matter with that piece of bread?" asked Mrs. Flapjack, as her new boarder examined the bread very carefully. "I don't see any butter on it." Mrs. Flapjack placed a piece of cheese on the bread, whereupon the new boarder began to laugh. "Why do you laugh?" he was asked. "Because now that I look at it through my eyeglass, I can see the butter through the cheese." Fanatics in Philippines Religious fanatics have become quite prominent in the Philippine islands, and the recent "colorum" outbreak on the Island of Bucas was a religious outbreak that accounted for more than 20 dead. The "colorum" took place among the country people who live in bands in the mountains and each leader of a "colorum" band thinks he is a personal emissary from Christ. A few of the chiefs have even claimed to be the Savior himself. Touching Wood Old Custom Many persons, whether they are superstitious or not, conform to the habit of "touching wood" to erase the "curse" of bragging of good luck. The origin of this custom dates back to the tree worshipers among the Aryans, and the practice was carried down through the Egyptians. Etruscan, Greeks, Romans and modern Europeans. It is a custom more universal in Europe, of course, than in America. An Honest Opinion A business man, on retiring, wrote a book which he sent to a publisher. The latter promptly returned it. Considerably incensed, the author sent his work to a friend in a newspaper office, writing on a top corner of the manuscript: "What do you think I ought to get for this?" The friend returned the manuscript with the laconic reply written in the opposite corner: "Five years!"

CHURCH CAUGHT IN PASSING Let there be writing before you pay and receipt before you write. Let him not complain of being cheated who buys cloth by the pattern. It is a kind of happiness to know to what extent we may be unhappy. The best way to feel for the poor is by putting your hand in your pocket. A woman judges her neighbors by their back yard display on wash day. Sleep that one gets in a sleeping car is better than no sleep, thank you. Business does not fight a law. It finds an outlet in another direction. A fighting chin casts its shadow before; and the fight casts its shadow behind. The man who waits for something to turn up is apt to discover that it is his toes. Attempts are being made to launch airplanes from the decks of large submarines. The man who is a gentleman only by the grace of his tailor doesn't count for much. Some men have no use for music except when they are permitted to play first violin. A citizen isn't necessarily worthless just because his wife is worth more than he is. A man always tells his wife that he doesn't care what the neighbors say—but he does. Half a loaf's better than no bread, but half the truth is often worse than a whole lle. No man is "disgusted with his job" if he has just had to hunt for it several months. Often a whole generation of imposition can be put over before there is a revolution. It's the easiest thing in the world to point out the proper course for others to pursue. Army Chaplains Don't Have to Be Ordained It was in 1789 that the first army of the United States was organized under authority of congress with a total personnel of 2,232 and one chaplain. In November, 1918, there were 2,217 chaplains—almost as many as there were soldiers of the line in the first army. These chaplains represented 41 denominations and sects. From 1836 until 1861 a chaplain in the army was a "commissioned officer or clergyman who performed divine service," and many men acted in that capacity who were laymen recommended by the post council of administration and appointed by the secretary of war. The requirement that a chaplain be an ordained clergyman of some recognized ecclesiastical body was laid down by congress in 1864 on the recommendation of Abraham Lincoln. The present law, under which chaplains are commissioned, does not require them to be ordained clergymen, but provides that they be "persons duly accredited by some religious denomination or organization and of good standing therein."—Detroit News. "Base Line" Every one who has given any attention to the matter of geodetic surveying knows the necessity of an accurately measured "base line" on which all subsequent measurements are based. The ideal site is a fairly level stretch of open ground, three to ten miles in length, along which the base line may be measured. Falling this the surveyor must clear away obstructing trees, bridge over ravines and resort to other expedients. Recently the geodetic survey of Canada adopted a novel method in running a base line along the seashore in such a position that half the line is under water at high tide, says Natural Resources of Canada. The location is Oyster bay, British Columbia, and the rough nature of the land formation left no option as to the place for the line. In spite of the fact that part of the line was under water for several hours every day, the marking posts driven into the sand held well and the measurements made while the tide was out proved entirely satisfactory. The Lizard When you have landed and walked a mile or so along the coast you begin to realize the nature of the charm of this loveliest peninsula. It is color, in a word; color which changes with the changing sky, and is always striking, always varied. The Land's End region is severe and somber from its granite walls; not so the Lizard, whose very variety persuades to deliberate methods. The purple, black and orange of the rocks; the white, pink and purple of the heather; it is sacrilege to pass them by with a hurried glance. You gaze and gaze, yet are not satisfied. An artist may steal on his canvas an idea of the beauties of Kynance cove; I watched one doing it; and confessed that the brush is mightier than the pen.—Harry Christopher Minchin, in Talks and Traits. Miss Wan Piroshaw, a Filipino girl who served her educational apprenticeship in American hospitals and training schools, has been placed in charge of the first public health nursing center which has been opened at Bangkok, Slam. Tricked Getting the idea from seeing a valu- deville performer swallow swords. Jacob Zlenke, of Chicago, bought ten butcher knives and essayed to swallow them one by one. One was enough. It stuck. "I'll bet there's a trick to it," Zlenke wrote on a pad for one of the hospital nurses. Earl D.

O. MIDNIGHT. (Continued from Page 1.) it was a fine program rendered, and Charles Stewart delivered the address. I am not going to comment on his address, but many people heard him, and they shook his hands. Professor Collier, of course, presided. Then followed in the afternoon the dedication. This will open your eyes, I am sure, for the dedication took place at 2:30 in the afternoon. I don't know when I have seen so many automobile car carriages, fine and superfine, owned by them and us, for both of us were there. I believe to the tune of two thousand or more. They had the speaking out side, and I wish you could have seen the brain, wealth and splendor on the rostrum, and for some reason, I was invited to be seated among all this. There we found the governor of Florida and his staff, the State superintendent of education and his staff, the city manager and his staff, the Mayor and his staff, the sheriff, the general passenger agent of the Florida East Coast Line, and so many others, and as I did not have a staff, I was there by myself. It was a great occasion. When the Governor arrived, they all stood and gave him an ovation. The Rev. Dr. A. W. Puller of Tampa, Florida, made the opening prayer, and was followed by the singing of a Jubilee by the Sixtet of the Institute. The Rev. Dr. J. R. Evans of Miami, read the scripture lesson, and the first speaker on this occasion was the Rev. S. B. Rogers of Jacksonville, who is executive secretary of the Florida Baptist convention of white Baptists, and a wonderful character, and a man who is interested in Baptists and all they do. He made a good address bringing greetings from his people to my people. He was in favor of education, and told of the great work of the Baptists. He preached some Baptist doctrine. 3700 State Avenue Drexel 2429 THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Time Is Here Chicken's Son when the ground is loosened with a dil before sowing the SEED; and have with a good sharp HOE to cut out the which to water the produce and a good the chickens. house, your comfort is increased by been kept fresh and ice water ready of a good REFRIGERATOR.

H. Brinton, Supervisor of Negro Education for Florida, and his address was a good one. He said what he had in his heart to say, and then followed the introduction of the State Superintendent of Education. This was done by the Superintendent of Education of St. John County, Hon. D. D. Corbett, and the job was well done, and Hon. W. A. Cawthon measured up to all that was said about him. His address was fair play for all.. It was in keeping with the reputation of the man. Of course they had music right along, and it was some real music. I shall never forget the music end of the affair. Now we are coming to the real address of the evening. I tell you that Hon. P. R. Perry, Mayor of St. Augustine, did make one more address when he introduced Governor Carey A. Hardee, the man of the people of Florida, and a man whose heart is in the right place, while it is yet on the left side. It is located just where it should be. He delivered an address to the citizens of Florida. He did not make a white speech or a colored speech, but a up to now practical educational address. It had the right ring for all of the people of Florida, and I hope they will take it in the same spirit as it was delivered for it will do all the souls good. In my opinion Florida has a real governor, and one who is not ashamed to own his Lord or to speak as he thinks. He speaks right out in church. He is a banker, a rich man, and not a mere politician. They have a high class man as Governor of Florida, and I am glad to give you this information. I will not be able to review the address this week, as I have devoted all I have to say to the Florida Normal and Industrial. Institute. It is worth that and even more. I have not told you about some of the others, but will have to do so later.
