"PROBLEMS OF NEGRO STUDENTS" SUBJECT OF CONFERENCE 20 UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES REPRESENTED Nyack, New York, Aug. 12.—Under the auspices of the intercollegiate association of New York City, graduates and students from 20 universities and colleges met here in conference July 25 and 26 to discuss the "Problems of Negro Students." The conferees are today jubilant. They have not only argued the problem, but they have also sent a resolution to the French War Ministry regretting the departure from the policy of the French in dealing with her colonials, especially in the present Riff situation. They expressed their sympathy to the students of China and voted to send a memorial to the president of the Chinese university for the stand China is taking against the foreign interference. They went down on record as opposing war. "Students are here to solve their own problems," said Miss Louise Jackson, graduate of Hunter College and president of the association, as she formally opened the conference to discuss the first topic, "The Causes of Student Unrest." The causes were many. The following indictments were made. "White presidents in Negro institutions are failures," "White presidents who could not find a haven in white institutions are given positions in the Negro schools," "Some white presidents in Negro institutions do not have their first degree," "under white president and faculty in Negro institutions discipline is administered to crush students' initiative," "Fraternities and sororities are not living up to their standards." The basis of efficiency should be the criterion for choosing men, black or white, for administrative positions in Negro schools, was the consensus of opinion. The conferees favored a mixed faculty. They were opposed to the paternalistic attitude on the part of white presidents because they believe it suppresses the initiative and self-expression of the students. They feel that the fraternities and sororities are not living up to their standards because of certain indifferences within the ranks. A conferee, however, said that "the external economic cause was the basis of student unrest and it greatly influences the internal administrative causes." "Benevolent endowments bias the officials and enslave the students in Negro institutions." Personal experience meeting symposium was the second session of the conference. It was said that many Negro students did not take part in extra curricular activities. It was seriously questioned whether or not the major factor was the racial element or whether the same problems were common to both colored and white institutions. The sentiment however, prevailed that students should be concerned in leaving something with an institution rather than going to get just what's there. Religion, inter-racial co-operation, politics, international relations were spiritedly discussed. "The churches today are surfeited with emotionalism and superstition instead of that vitalizing force which would help us to Revival St. Luke A. M. E. Church Twelfth and Ann Avenue. Candle Light Social Mme. Tillie Johnson is conducting a revival at St. Luke A. M. E. Church Twelfth and Ann avenue. The meeting began Sunday, July 26th and will close out Monday, August 17th with a candle light social. The admission to the candle light social will be a candle. The candles can be obtained from the committee for a small sum of 10c each. A special program will be conducted at the Candle Light Social. The public is most cordially invited to attend these meetings. Gospel sermons and good singing. Vol. XI THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER PRISONER SAVED FROM MOB BY TENNESSEE SHERIFF Another sheriff has distinguished himself by saving a prisoner from a threatening mob. This time it is Sheriff Cromer, of Marshall County, Tennessee, who, with a Negro accused of burglary and murder, won a long distance cross county race to Nashville and safely committed his prisoner to jail. He was hotly pursued by a score of automobiles and had to change the car in which he started for a faster machine in order to make his getaway. It is notable that the number of prisoners saved from threatening mobs nowadays is two or three times as great as the number of mob victims. form richer contacts with human beings. We need to get back to the concepts of human brotherhood," said one student. The conference went on record endorsing interracial cooperation based on absolute equality. One student, however, questioned whether or not co-operation should be asked before Negroes effect it themselves. On the topic of international relations and politics, methods were discussed concerning the function of the American students in alleviating the friction among the nations. It simmers down to the racial group, which forces the question, "What Can the Negro Students do in Amelicrating International Relations?" "What are the next steps" was the topic for the closing conference. The summary of the convention took place on Perry's estate—one of the exclusive white residence of Nyack. The conferees, at the invitation of Miss Dorothy Perry, a young woman of great influence in civic affairs, assembled on the lawn, overlooking the Hudson river. There, the collegians, seated on chairs and mats placed out in the open, discussed practical suggestions, and at the same time enjoyed the salubrious atmosphere. On the left of the group stood a miniature cannon, a relic of man's invention. A little further up the river stood the nation's greatest military academy, West Point. It was on Perry's lawn the stormy and dramatic scene of the conference was staged. Almost under the very battlements of West Point the motion of war was vigorously debated. The conference went down on record as opposing war by a decisive vote. The association voted to make the conference an annual affair. Nyack has a population of approximately 1000 Negroes and 11,000 whites. The officers of the association are Miss Louise Jackson, graduate of Hunter College, president; Miss Thelma Berlack, New York University, secretary; Counsellor George Hall, New York University, treasurer. The leaders of the discussion groups were F. D. Johnson, George Hall, W. T. Andrews, Jr., A. J. Allison, F. Eugene Clarkie, and A. Granville Dill. The institutions represented were New York University, Harvard, Columbia, College of the City of New York, Hunter College, Wellesley, Radcliffe, Howard, Fisk, Lincoln University, Pa., University of Pittsburg, State University of Iowa, Northeastern, University of Chicago, Temple, Virginia Union, Morehouse College, Atlanta University, Spellman Seminary, and West Virignia Institute, Radcliffe. Headquarters of the conference was at George Avery's residence, 19 Jackson avenue., Nyack, New York. Summer Follies OH. LISTEN! LOOKS JUST LIKE THE KIND YOU BUY IN THE STORES MY!

C., were recently the invited guests of the white ministers at a regular meeting of the Ministerial Association. The purposes of the joint meeting were to establish better understanding between the two groups and to confer as to the possibilities of cooperation in meeting the religious and civic needs of the community. The meeting is said to have been mutually helpful. Mrs. N. Jackson, of Chicago, is here visiting her sister, Mrs. S. E. White, 332 Nebraska avenue. W. B.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal has finished raising a fund of $3,025 which will be used to purchase a home for Tom Lee, hero of the Norman disaster, who saved the lives of thirty-two people when the steamer went down on May 8. The deed was acclaimed by the newspapers from coast to coast and Lee received many signal honors in appreciation of his heroism, including a visit to Washington and an introduction to President Coolidge.

The Stars have been leading the league in the second half of the schedule and are playing hard to keep it. They have a strong fighting team of good ball players. GALVESTON BUILDS $200,000.00 COLORED HIGH SCHOOL COLLORED HIGH SCHOOL Galveston, Texas, has just taken a long step toward the education of its colored constituency by the erection of a splendid new high school. The building was erected at a cost of over $200,000 and is one of the best colored schools in the South. Started in a log cabin in the nineties, the Galveston Colored High now has an enrollment of nearly five hundred. Birds Courageous in At six o'clock one July morning 2,000 homing pigeons belonging to the Yorkshire Federation of Pigeon Owners were released at Arres, France, to race back to their home in Lancaster, a distance of a little more than 300 miles. In midchannel they were enveloped in a heavy storm; in the south of England a worse storm was encountered, and in the Midlands the weather was no better. Yet at 3:30 p. m. the birds were arriving home. The breast feathers of most of them were gone as the result of the head wind, and some were so exhausted that, having alighted in the yard, they were unable to fly up to the loft. The winner of the race had nevertheless managed to make the long journey at a pace of 900 yards a minute. Famous Men and Cats The philosophic Rousseau sald a cat was like a young child, "he prowls into every corner . . . until he has made himself familiar with all his surroundings" with the same healthy, empirical curiosity found in children." Gautler turned his vivid imagination upon cats and said: "A cat looks into your face with eyes so human . . . that you are smitten by fear. Can it be possible there is no thought behind that absorbed and mysterious scrutiny?" Doctor Johnson's cat was not beneath the attention of Boswell. The poets Cowper, Gray, Southey, Wordsworth and Matthew Arnold wrote affectionately of cats, particular and general. Number 52 INSTITUTION ON THE ACCREDITED LIST IN TEXAS TEXAS COLLEGE CLOSES LARGE SUMMER SCHOOL Tyler, Texas, August 7 (Special)—Texas College closed this week the largest summer school in its history. In reality it was the second largest in the State of Texas. Due to the fact that the College is ranked as one of the accredited schools of the Southwest—by Standardizing Agencies—is responsible for teachers coming from every section of the State. In connection with the regular work there was in operation a Practice School under the competent supervision of Miss Elizabeth T. Perry for the benefit of those studying Primary Methods. This phase of the work proved to be a most valuable and popular feature of the session. Every effort was made by the institution to give those who attended an opportunity for the very best training along the lines of their profession. The members of the faculty for the regular session are studying this summer at Hampton Institute, Columbia, Illinois and Chicago Universities. CITY BRIEF'S AND IN SOCIETY Mrs. C. O.

A very great part of the mischiefs that vex the world arises from words. When a man freely admits that his wife is stubborn he can afford to stop praying. A cynical man is one who has had experience; a cynical woman is one who hasn't. Liberality does not consist so much in giving a great deal as in giving seasonably. Some women swear like men, while others are so plaus that they won't even darn socks. A widow always has words of praise for her late husband, but it's different with a sleepy wife. The railroad, when you come to understand it, is only a device for making the world small. Trees Give Off Large Quantities of Water A European botanist, after careful observations, once concluded that a mature birch tree with 200,000 leaves gives off through those leaves during a single hot day more than 100 gallons of water. In Saturday night units, this is a bath apiece for a family of ten. Whether the botanist missed it by one bath or the fraction of a tea cup does not much matter. We know that trees have a mighty thirst and that there is an enormous amount of water in the leaves, branches, trunks and roots of full-grown trees. This water is constantly circulating. A tree may be compared to a fountain.—R. D. Forbes in American Forests and Forest Life. Hair-Curling Devices Six hundred patents for new devices to meet the age-old desire of women for curly hair have been issued by the United States patent office, says Popular Science Monthly. These devices include methods of waving hair by means of hot air and steam, and by permanent waving machines. The first American patent for curling hair was issued in 1857 to a man named Lewis, who perfected an iron heated by plunging it in hot water. Dog Mothers Lion Cubs The raising of three cub lions, the offspring of Senta, the prize lioness of the Berlin zoo, has been intrusted to a Great Dane. The cubs, upon their birth, immediately were taken from Senta, who showed a disposition to kill them. The foster dog mother nurses them carefully, to the great delight of hundreds of children who are watching the development of the playful young lions. Royal Farmer Eitel Friedrich, second son of ex-Emperor William II, calls himself farmer in the new city directory of Potsdam. He omits the long list of military and hereditary titles which the Hohenzollerns have thus far added to their names in the city and telephone directories. The designation of prince is part of his name under post-revolutionary German law, and not a title. Simple Remedy "Brother Johnson," solemnly began the presiding elder, desirous of impressing a valuable lesson of some sort on his parishioner, "if your sins were written on your forehead what would you do?" "Wear my hat all the time," promptly replied Gap Johnson of Rumpus Eldar.—Kansas City Star. The discovery of benzine was first announced by Michael Faraday 160 years ago the sixteenth of June.

CHURCH NEWS Those who attended the morning service Sunday went away feeling they had been well paid for coming out to the house of the Lord. The speaker was the Rev. G. W. Wells of Houston, Texas. His subject was "Home" the Christian home being the fundamental principle of pure happiness. The home either saves or destroys. If you are a Christian in your home, you are a Christian on the street, at your work and every place else, not just on Sunday when coming to church. Sinners wept and Christians rejoiced. Six joined the church. The Junior choir rendered a special program, at the evening service which was greatly enjoyed by a nice audience. Prof. Philips of Dallas, Tex., give two readings, which were highly appreciated and Miss Alexander sang two numbers, whose voice is sweet. Prof. Wise, organist had charge. Rev. Brooks held his official board meeting Monday night, when business of the church was taken up and conference claims discussed. First church stands at the head of the Nebraska conference and those who love their church will not let it take second place, at our next annual conference. Dollar money and other conference claims are coming in fairly well at this time.

The choir was also very large and after a voluntary by Prof. H. Brown, they sang beautifully, "The Name of Jesus," then led the congregation in chanting the greatest of all prayers. The Lord's Prayer. One of the most wonderful acts of the service was the soprano solo, "I will lift up mine eyes," sung by a young blind girl from Manhattan. She sang classically and almost divine. Then followed the sermon by Pastor Bronson on "Financing the Kingdom." References were from Mal. 3:8-10, Matt. 23:23, 1 Cor. 16:1, 2, etc. In part he said, everything we have belongs to God, and we are just stewards, and should give one-tenth to God's church." Many sanctioned him and enjoyed the sermon, which he has preached here before. Immediately at the close of the sermon, the collection was taken in the former way of going to the table, and many crowded to the table and took envelopes and made pledges. It was found there was $100.61 (one hundred dollars and sixty-one cents) Now each member is to keep his own record of tithing. After the collection, the invitation was extended for joiners and some united. Pastor Bronson has pledged himself to give $25 a month of his salary and one-tenth of all extra money he makes lecturing away from his home, to the church. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. had good meetings and at 8 p. m. Pastor Bronson spoke again on the same subject of financing the kingdomen and $31 more was given making a total collection for the day $131.60. Many distinguished visitors were present at each service. Five or six ladies from California and Mrs. Norene Davis' friends. Among them were Mrs. Alexander of Indianapolis. Attorney Dorsey-Green was present at night and gave in the envelopes. About ten white friends were attracted by Mrs. Matthews, the city missionary's notice and sentence sermons written on the sidewalk, and came in church. They said, "they had never attended a colored church before," also, said, "it was a fine church." Pastor Bronson also used the missionary's words on the sidewalk, "God is omnipotent," that is all powerful. Next Sunday, August 16th, more sermons will be preached, come out and hear them and bring your friends. Metropolitan church members extend a welcome to all to attend their church at Ninth and Washington boulevard.

The subject of the Sunday school lesson was the Beginning of the Second Missionary Tour, Acts 15:36- to 16, verse 5. The lesson was reviewed by Supt. Robinson. The following were visitors: Rev. A. H. Hamilton, Mr. James and Mrs. Hazel Wood of Topeka. There were 133 scholars present and the collection was $3.77.. Small Wood Denizens Have Large Appetites Tests of the appetite of the average Rocky mountain mantled ground squirrel and the San Francisco mountain chipmunk are being conducted by the biological survey, United States Department of Agriculture, at the southwestern forest experiment station. These little animals show an astonishing capacity for pine seeds, the ground squirrel eating 340 pine seeds in one day and night, while the chipmunk can account for 237. It is found that a group of four tree trees in an acre of cut-over western yellow pine land will produce about 92,000 seeds in a good year, which would be just enough seed to carry one family of squirrels and three families of chipmunks about two weeks. What the rodents do for the remaining 50 weeks or what they do in a poor seed year does not appear, but in a good year, at least, they seriously interfere with the natural reforestation of western yellow pine. Made Parsley Pattern The history of the famous British Peel family is most interesting and romantic. Just 160 years ago one of the sons of a weaver who owned a small manor near Blackburn spoilt, in weaving, a piece of cloth made of linen and thread, and the father took it to the Claytons and asked them to have it printed with a pattern for kerclefs. The price charged was so high that Peel determined to experiment himself. His first successful experiment was with a "Parsley Leaf" pattern and, when he saw the effect "Parsley Peel," father of the first Sir Robert, declared that he was a made man. So he was, for his son became very nearly the richest man in England. PUBLICATION NOTICE 'n the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. Johnnie B.

Grand Maste Elastic Shoe Laces Shoe strings made of a rubber composition, recently introduced by an English manufacturer, are said to stretch so easily that shoes can be taken off or put on without unlacing them. The strings are fastened at the top on the inside, thus eliminating the need for tying or knotting. They cannot work loose. In games or on hikes the elastic laces are said to relieve the pressure of the shoe on the foot. They are made in different colors. Popular Mechanics Magazine. Juvenile Courts Busy Approximately 200,000 young persons under eighteen years of age passed through the Juvenile courts of the United States in 1923 and of this number 75,000 were placed on probation. Of the probationary cases more than 80 per cent passed through the probation period successfully. The figures were compiled by the National Probation association. Scotch Infant Mortality Ninety-eight out of every 1,000 babies born in Scotland in 1924 died before reaching their first birthday, according to the latest report of the Scottish registrar general. The birth rate for 1924 was the lowest recorded since the war. The United States infant mortality rate was 77 per 1,000 births in 1928.

J., has a police horse that carries a tail light. The horse is used by a mounted patrolman, and has been bruised several times by being struck by machines whose drivers did not see the animal. Determined to protect himself and his mount, the patrolman attached a red reflector to the tail of his horse. The reflector flashes red when the lights from a motor strike it, and the driver instinctively steers clear of the danger signal. The French Duel Henry Clews said at a dinner in his sea-fronting chateau on the French Riviera near Cannes: "The French are a brave people, but the French duel ought to be abolished. It's like the story of Cal Clay and Wash White. "You's a liiah,' said Cal. "You's a man, said Cal. "‘Say dat agin,’ sald Wash, ‘and I'll bust yore jaw.' "‘Consider it sald again.' "‘Consider yore jaw busted.’" London Space Valuable The demand for living space in London is so acute that bunks, one above the other similar to those aboard ships and which fold up out of sight when not in use, have been placed in some of the newest flats in the crowded city of London, where inches have to be taken into consideration whenever any building is done. Another innovation in the compressed furniture line is a "six-in-one" contrivance which includes a folding bed, washstand, chest of drawers, mirror, shoe rack and space to place the bedding when the bed is not made up. Alien Women Superior Allied women seeking American naturalization in the United States usually meet the examination in naturalization court better than men. The percentage of women successfully passing the test in the eastern part of the United States is said to be considerably larger than that of the men. Grouch's Note Book The community is always finding fault with me, when I'm in no way different from the rest of 'em, since all I want, in addition to what I have of the earth, is the gold of the sun and the silver of the moon and stars, not to mention a harp and a golden crown in the hereafter. FLYING CHAFF Few, save the poor, feel for the poor.—L. E. Landon. I think the first wisdom is to restrain the tongue.—Cato. The laughter of man is the contentment of God.—Welss. Let us draw upon content for the deficiencles of fortune. Books teach us very little of the world. Reflection sometimes shows yourself as you really are. It's bad weather that reveals a good seaman. There is little in belief, there is everything in practice. Men respect the bees, but they rob them. To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved.—McDonald. You don't learn so much by keeping quiet and listening; but by observing. People who are overwhelmed with sweetened praise and flattery think they are "understood." Gentleness is revealed in the last analysis of greatness. The blusterer is always weak. Clap an extinguisher upon your frony, if you are unhappily blessed with a vein of it. Truth is the beginning of every good thing, both in heaven and on earth.—Plato. No evil is honorable; but death is honorable; therefore death is not evil. Zeno. If a man is too poor to lend his friends money he will retain them longer. Manchuria Branches Out A modern spinning mill has been completed at Liaoyang, the first Japanese plant of its kind in Manchuria. Ten thousand spindles out of 82,000 are being worked, but the entire installation is expected to be in operation by next spring. The number of hands, now 700, will be increased to about 2,500. Native cotton only is available and in limited quantities, but is of splendid quality.—Family Herald. Dug Up Old Coins While planting shrubbery at Romney, W. Va., T.-J. Brown picked up a copper coin dated 1783. On one side, in the center, is a large star with 13 small stars encircling it. The inscription is "Constellation Nova." On the other side is a wreath, around which is inscribed "Libertas Justitia." A few days later Mr. Brown picked up another copper coin. On one side is the head of George II. The date is 1783.
