Leo Sheely drives a coal wagon for his father, W. M. Sheely. Coming home off his route, he stopped his coal wagon and started upstairs, according to a statement he made. Tom George came from across the street and shot him. When interviewed Sheely said he and Tom George were over to Bud White's house Friday evening. Sheely and George got into an argument as to whether Sheely's brother could beat George's brother doing the "Charleston." Twenty-five cents was put up as stakes. Another argument came up and it is charged that George invited Sheely outdoors. Leo claims that he did not think George was really mad and treated it as a joke. Sheely said when he saw that Tom George really was fighting he waded in and was getting the best of George when Bud White pulled him off.

A. meeting was held at the school on Friday, January 15, at 3 p. m., with the president, Mrs. Emery, presiding. The attendance of parents, patrons and friends of the school was splendid. The principal speaker on the program was Rev. Durham, a member of the school board. His subject was "The Bible and the Child." It proved a wonderful treat. He compared the child to a prism, with its physical, intellectual and moral development as the three sides, each as necessary as the other. He explained the origin of the Bible, and why the Bible is not taught in the week day schools. Rev. Durham is a masterly speaker and his address was a vital message to parents. The third grade presented an exercise on the three "R's" called "The Magic Key," which was very entertaining. The teachers of this grade are Miss Kiser and Miss Hudson. Concluding remarks were made by the state federation president, Mrs. H. G. Dwiggins, and Prof. John A. Hodge, principal of Sumner High School. The next meeting will be held within the next six weeks.

New York City Celebrates Negro New York City Celebrates Negro New York, Jan. 12.—During the past week New York City has quite done its bit in perpetuating the rhythm and soul of Negro music. Following an open musical forum at the Hotel Plaza, at which J. Rosamond, Johnson and Taylor Gordon sang Negro spirituals, a concert of Negro music in aid of the Negro Art School was given in the Ambassador Theatre last Sunady night under the direction of Will Marion Cook. Besides numbers by Harry Burleigh, James Bland, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and other noted Negro composers, Cook's famous "Mammy" sung by Miss Abbie Mitchell, and "Swing Along" were faultlessly rendered to a packed house.

The recital was held at the Lyric Theater and Mr. Hayes held up the performance for a full half hour, until the theater management was convinced that Mr. Hayes meant business. Then the seat juggling stopped and the concert was resumed. To avoid this condition, Mr. Hayes sent a personal representative to Baltimore prior to the recital date, who exacted a promise from the promoters of the affair that there would be no seating segregation of races in the audience. To dodge this, the tickets were skillfully juggled so that negroes found themselves being seated in blocks. As soon as this was observed by Mr. Hayes, he immediately stopped his performance. The same thing occurred at Washington, D. C., on Tuesday night, Jan. 12, at the recital there. His representative went to the capital, and made the same arrangement as in Baltimore and with the assistance of National Race Congress, discrimination against Negroes in the audience was stopped. Mr. Hayes had just completed a southern tour, where he was compelled to submit to the humiliating Jim Crowism, and, tho he protested, his efforts to crush segregation in the south land were futile. Mr. Hayes is battling for his race and their rights at the expense of his career, and health, as he clearly showed physical signs of the struggle. Let the race cooperate with him and eventually right will prevail. CORRECTION The statement in funeral notice of Mr. Henry Spencer of Chicago, that he left only an aunt and sister was incorrect.

Kansas City, Mo., January 18. —Charles Williams, age 49 years, 2313 Woodland, is dead as the result of a knife wound, and Roberta Brown, 1700 E. Tenth street, is in jail, charged with the stabbing. Officer's statement was that he was setting in a restaurant at Thirty-first and Troost and saw a bunch of Negroes go into the alley and down in the basement of the Lyndon hotel. It was his intention to question them when they came out. Shortly he saw a colored man run out and talk to a Greek. The officer then inquired of the Greek what the man wanted. He wanted a gun, said the Greek. The man that ran out was Walter Parish. The officer took Parish back to the basement where there were several more persons. He saw Charles Williams lying on the floor groaning and unable to talk. E. G. Riggs, 2123 Flora, came downstairs and the officer arrested him. He said Roberta Brown stabbed Williams and Roberta said Riggs stabbed Williams. However, Roberta Brown is being held at the prosecutor's office because she is alleged to have had a bloody knife in her hand at the time of her arrest. No knife was found on Williams. Drinking and gambling led to the row that caused the fatal stabbing. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 ROOM OFFICERS SHOOT WHEN KE ARREST.

Number 26 Kemp called Miss Belton upstairs and after an argument began cutting her with a razor and upon examination of her coat it was cut in several places on the fur collar. Mrs. Walton hearing the fight rushed upstairs and tried to stop Kemp from cutting Miss Belton. Mrs. Walton states that Kemp said, "I will cut you with this razor if you don't stay out of this." Police Notified. Mrs. Walton's brothers Willie Davis, age 17 and Jerome Davis, age 24 years old who were in the house at the time heard Kemp threatening their sister. Having no weapons to protect themselves, one of them ran out the back door and telephoned Police Headquarters that there was a fight going on in the house and to come quick. Witnesses also state that Miss Belton had gotten loose from Kemp and was told to go home and that Kemp said you had better not go. At that time Kemp was down stairs and when he heard the police coming he ran upstairs and threw his razor in the stove. When the officers came in the house and approached Kemp the witnesses claim that Kemp said "I am going upstairs and get my razor if you kill me." "Kill me, Kill me, for I am going upstairs after my razor", Kemp exclaimed again. Resisted Arrest. Further stated by witnesses that when the officers attempted to place Kemp under arrest, he began fighting back seizing a chair to hit the officers with. Failing in that he snatched at Vance's gun and was shot in the arm to wing him from further fighting. Fighting more desperately in the corner where the entrance leads upstairs Kemp was shot again on the left side of the face below the temple. Kemp died on the way to the Douglass Hospital. Mrs. Walton said she had heard that Kemp was wanted in Oklahoma for some charge but did not know the Police were looking for him. Kemp came from McAllister, Okla., and was of a very high temper.

On a point of order made by Congressman Hare, Democrat, of South Carolina, on Monday, January 11th, the entire appropriation for Howard University was stricken from the appropriation. The bill now goes to the Senate where the appropriation will undoubtedly be restored. PAGE TWO A RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT (Continued from Page 1.) ernment. Coming into office from an active life of business and banking, Governor Paulen considered the state government as a great corporation excelling in magnitude all other interests, and in which every citizen is a stockholder. Setting the example himself, he has stressed three activities necessary in administering the business down the line thru all the departments and institutions—service, efficiency, economy. "These three things are required by the managing heads of every big business institution," the Governor has said. "In a greater degree they are necessary and incumbent on those of us who serve the people." Spectacular Does Not Appeal. These ideas of administering state government are not new with Governor Paulen. He has applied the same business methods in a smaller way to his own affairs and found them to be the only safe rule and guide. When he was a candidate for Governor he didn't indulge in many promises. He told the people that if he was elected he would devote his time to their service, and that he would require his appointees to do likewise. He has gone about this task without any blare of trumpets. The spectacular and the grandstand do not appeal to him. Fireworks are transitory; they glow for a short time, and then they speedily vanish. These passtimes do not mix in well with business and service. For that reason Ben Paulen has found no time in which he may indulge in them. And evidence is multiplying daily that Kansas folks are pleased with his conception of how a state government ought to function, and what its real objective should be. It was shown in the lection a year ago last November that the people of Kansas were glad to come back to stable, efficient and economical government. It was further emphasized by the Republican majorities given to a Republican governor and state ticket, and to the election of a Republican legislature. The fine cooperation between Governor Paulen and the legislature in the passage of some of the most constructive laws ever enacted in Kansas, marked the beginning of this business administration, each branch sharing equally in this outstanding service. Culling and Pruning. First and most important is the budget law providing for a complete state budget and accounting system. Every needed state appropriation and every claim or account that will come before the legislature must be submitted to the Governor for investigation on the first day of October prior to the biennial meeting of the law makers. This will give the Governor three months to go over and determine with his budget director and the state auditor and treasurer, the need of appropriations and the validity of claims to be presented. It will be a sifting out of the wheat from the chaff, and a culling and pruning down of doubtful and questionable accounts that will result in saving to the taxpayers many thousands of dollars. The new budget law supplants the old system of loading the boat with grabs and questionable claims rushed thru the hopper in the hurry of a legislative session. The Governor will have ample time to investigate and determine the validity of such. Under the budget law the people may know, thru the searching investigations of the Governor of any proposed raid on the state treasury, three months in advance, giving them ample time to go before their members of the legislature, or candidates, and speak their minds. The Governor and his budget director will be there with the pruning knife to cut appropriations not actually needed in the proper business administration of the state. It is a part of the big program the voters of Kansas had in mind when they turned their attentions to the pressing needs of business methods in state government and overwhelmingly elected a Republican Governor and a Republican legislature. Constructive Legislation. All the progressive and constructive legislation passed a year ago cannot be enumerated here, but mention should be made of the fine law which provides for the comfort and happiness of the future citizens of Kansas. Providing for a state system of lakes and the planting of forest trees about them, for fishing and camping resorts, and the beautification of waste places, is outstanding in its scope. It is attracting attention of other middle and western prairie states. It will be worked out without a dollar's direct tax on property owners. The expense will be borne entirely from the sale of hunter's and fishing licenses. Schools Lifted From Politics. Governor Paulen declared that the big educational schools and colleges should be placed under the control of a non-partisan board of regents that would lift these institutions from any taint of partisan politics. That pledge has been fulfilled to the letter, and these great schools today are outstanding in the fine educational service they are giving to the young men and women of Kansas. The same can be said of the highclass supervision and management of the correctional and charitable institutions of the state by a board of administration composed of representative men. This work is systematically organized down to every detail. Only recently it was announced that the state was saved $107,708.45 on the erection of institutional buildings by the fine co-operation of the board of administration, the business manager and the state architect. That amount was cut from the legislative appropriations, and it will be turned into the treasury. It is one of the many instances of economy, saving and business management of the state's affairs during the first year fo Governor Paulen's administration. Law Breakers Convicted. Reports from the departments are not available, but all have made a fine record of service. The banking department, the public service commission, the fire marshal, the state board of health, the highway commission, the oil inspection department, the hotel commissioner and all other heads of departments or in field work as deputies, have made a record of splendid service. Law breakers have been run down and convicted and a statewide clean-up of health conditions, hotel betterment, and inspections and supervisions, and highway building and maintenance have gone ahead in a business-like way. Big Salaries Cut Off. The wisdom of combining the public utilities commission, the tax commission and the court of industrial relations into the public service commission meets the approval of the people. It cuts off four big salaries and many smaller ones, resulting in a saving to the taxpayers of more than $50,000. This consolidation of boards and commissions long talked about in Kansas, was recommended by Governor Paulen and urged on the grounds of economy, and the greatly improved service in tax and public utilities supervision it would insure to the people. The new law resorted to its real usefulness the labor department which is in charge of a director having both state and federal supervision. Labor An Integral Part. Labor An Integral Part. Labor is as much a part of the state's business as are its banks, mercantile establishments, industries, its utilities and its farms. All these depend on men's labor. The worker produces from the soil, he helps to run the machinery of business, he labors in the industrial plants, in the stores, shops and offices, he digs coal in the mines—everywhere he is busy, putting his brain and brawn against the capital that employs him. That is why Governor Paulen declares labor to be an essential part of the business that builds and develops a state. "It is an integral part," he says, "of our whole business structure." Preferred To Meet the Men. Early last year Governor Paulen went down to the coal mining region of southeastern Kansas. He stopped at Pittsburg and from that city went out to the mines to get acquainted with the men who were digging coal. He could have asked the mine leaders to come to his hotel room, but he preferred to meet the miners themselves, and at their accustomed places of labor. It was a new experience for these workers to have the Governor visit and confer with them to ascertain if he could help them in their problems, make their burdens easier and the happiness and comforts of their families greater. That as many as could might meet him, a banquet was hurriedly arranged for that night where 300 of these folks gathered to meet the Governor and go over with him in detail the part they are playing in the business activities of the state. DENIED RIGHT TO VOTE FOR CARRYING GUN Shelbyville, Ky., Jan. 15.—Sam Beecham was given 20 days in jail, fined $50 and denied the right to vote for two years after being convicted in the courts for carrying a gun.

FIFTH AT OAKLAND AVENUE BELL FAIRFAX 4187 BROTHERHOOD OF RACES AFFIRMED BY METHODISTS YOUNG PEOPLE IN CONVENTION 4000 STRONG, PLEDGE AL- LEGIANCE TO JESUS' PRINCIPLES EQUAL JUSTICE DEMANDED Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 3: Four thousand Methodist young people from all parts of the South, in convention in this city, went on record today with the declaration that "divisive, unbrotherly attitudes as between races must be displaced by the spirit of generosity, service, and mutual respect." "We must abide by the principles of Jesus", said the young people, "namely, the Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man, and the supreme value of human personality". Their denomination, the M. E. Church South numbering 2,500,000, was requested to "take steps to bring about as far as possible equal advantages between the races in the South in education, in the courts, in economic matters, and in the opportunity for self-advancement." The subject of race relations had a gram. The speakers and leaders on this subject were Dr. W. D. Weatherford, president of Southern Y. M. C. A. College, Nashville; Rev. Channing H. Tobias, Y. M. C. A. International Secretary, New York; Dr. W. W. Alexander, Director Commission on Interracial Cooperation, Atlanta; and Dr. E. D. Soper, of Duke University, Durham, N. C. The subject was also discussed freely from the floor. The resolutions on race relations were part of the findings formulated by the young people and were as follows: "There is conflict and strife, separation of groups of individuals, one against the other, unbrotherliness and antagonism which the spirit of Christ cannot abide. These divisive, unbrotherly traits we must eliminate from our society. . . . Particularly do we feel that the situation in the South calls for the finest expression of the Christian spirit of generosity, service and respect. In this matter, as in others, we must abide by the principles of Jesus, namely the Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man, personality. We go on record as favoring and we recommend that our Church take steps to bring about, as far as possible, equal advantages between the races in education, in the administration of the law, in economic matters and in opportunity for self-advancement".

MISSOURI VALLEY INTERSCHOLASTI BASKET BALL Northeast Wins Pre-Season Game Escom Baptist College Last week Northeast was successful in defending her prestige by defeating Western Baptist College, by the unbalanced score of 26 to 6. Northeast seems to have arrived at the knack of dropping them through the ring, a thing that has been held lacking in the Northeast team for the last two years. They, however, improve in goal shooting the expense of their team play or at times it was ragged. For several times Baptist College forwards were able to break through for close-up shots. From the score it may be seen that they were not in shooting forms. To other teams who are to play Baptist College boys, Coach Jeffrys working out a strong defense for all opponents. For Baptist College, Wilson center, and Ragland, were particular fierce in the team's floor play, carrying the ball down the floor. For Northeast Junior High School it seems hard for Coach Jacobs to decide on a forward to team with O. Benfrod, and a guard to team with M. Nevels, letter men left over from last year. Northeast work numerous combinations to the score effect. Northeast is whipping up for their first conference game Friday night at Sedalia. However, these boys are showing as good forwards: I. House, C. Locke, and J. Sharp. At center: Marshall Cummings, R. Harris, and M. Nevels. Also L. Dudley, which is making the other two work hard, for he has plenty of spring and height. The squad has not been cut, 20 to 25 boys turn out to practice daily. It is doubtful of them being cut because Coach Jacobs believes in a large squad because it shows finer spirit. Men who you'll see in the gym each day are: U. Allen, S. Morston, B. Caruthers, G. Nevels, U. Drake, K. Smith, C. Gilford, L. Knight, E. Sims and D. Calvin.

WILSON Cars by Trip or Hour 1006 Walker Avenue Kansas City, Kansas Many Negro Miners Believed Dead Of the 98 miners who was trapped in the mine blast at Wilburn, Oklahoma Wednesday, it is thought 73 are colored. Progress of recovering the bodies are slow due to the fact that fire was reported burning up to late Wednesday night. A guard force surrounds the entrance to the mine to hold back the grief stricken mothers, wives and children of the entombed men. The explosion was caused by accumulation of gas in the mine and set off by the miners torches. "DROP YOUR BUCKETS WHERE YOU ARE!" Booker T. Washington seized this idea and imparted to it a newer, deeper and fuller meaning. But even he did not exhaust its uses. For its uses are varied and far reaching. The canny street car advertiser recognized this and is using it with telling effect for neighborhood merchants. He has attracted attention to it by misspelling "neighborhood, substituting for "eigh" the first letter of the alphabet. Thus the cars display "Naborhood Grocer," "Naborhood Druggist" and so forth. We can and should extend this idea to the merchant in the vicinity of your employment. For it is by numerous sales that a merchant enlarges his business. If you make the other fellows' business increase, he in turn will make your employer's business grow. This means that your salary will be raised, or your friends may get to work with you. Therefore don't overlook the opportunity to make a purchase in the neighborhood where you are employed. It develops the community, thus making the tenure of your job more permanent. Then besides if you should want a recommendation, you will have a variety to choose from, because you have traded where you worked. DO YOU LIVE BY THE ROADSIDE? Washington, Jan. 22.—Do you live by the roadside? If you do, prepare to smile. The Secretary of Agriculture has announced that $73,125,000 has been proportioned to the states for use in the construction of Federal-aid roads. This means improved trunk highway travel between important points in the states. If you live on the Federal roadside, hold your property and improve it. This means business, mone, and good feeling, and Uncle Sam is helping to bring it about. ADVOCATE OFFICE 516 MINNESOTA AVE. (Up Stairs) PHONE DREXEL 0124 FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1926. JURY FREE MAN WHO KILLED TO PROTECT WIFE Memphis, Tenn. Jan. 15—Lewis Acquitted For Slaying Deputy C. C. Worthman. Mat Lewis was freed by a jury of white men in Memphis for killing Deputy C. C. Worthman for brutally slugging his wife when he came to arrest her on some minor charge. As it happened Lewis came upon the scene when two officers, with his wife handcuffed and bleeding, remonstrated with the officers for such conduct. Unarmed, Lewis waded into battle, when it was over his wife lay dead with a bullet through her heart, fired by Worthman. The daughter was slain by a bullet through her spine. Lewis, half mad, crazed by the double murder of his wife and child, seized the deputy's gun and beat him to death with it. Cruze, the other officer in attempting to escape was laid low by the but end of a gun in the hands of Lewis. Picking up the guns, Lewis wrapped them in paper and surrendered at the county jail. A white paper commenting on the actions of the court rejoices over the acquittal; the conduct of some of the deputy sheriffs and magistrates in this city was inhuman to a class of people arrested on trivial charges. The defendants were clubbed and beaten when arrested without cause. PUBLICATION NOTICE In the district court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. Harley Mc'Daniels, Defendant.

NO FARM LOANS FOR NEGROES This government has provided money to be loaned to farmers on terms suited to the particular borrower. The money is advanced upon recommendation by the Farm Loan Board. Unless the Board recommends the appropriation for a given purpose, there is no loan made. One of the powerful farces on the Board is a gentleman from the South. This gentleman does not approve of loans to Negro farmers. Indeed, his influence on the Board is, or it has been to date, sufficient to block almost any application for a loan to a Negro farmer. Of course, there is always that diplomatic method employed. But the results are the same. The Negro farmer does not get the money. This is our information, and our source is reliable. President Coolidge, when told that Negro farmers did not get any loans, almost resented the statement, it is said. He was of the opinion that the Negro applicants were not able to meet the requirements of the Board, or did not ask for loans. He was under the impression that all applicants were treated precisely the same. He knows better than that now. The President knows something of the practices of the Board. At least, he has been supplied with information on the subject. And why are Negro farmers denied loans? One of the reasons is very plain, and easy of appreciation when the facts are stated. The South lives by labor of the black man. A farm hand is worth large money to the Southern gentlemen who has long since sworn not to work, as long as any "niggers can be had." The Negro farmer is forced to get his money from the white merchant. The money is in the form of meat, flour and meal, calico ploughs and a mule. The rate of interest charged, and the "system" of never "paying out" keeps the Negro farmer a slave to the white merchant, who is usually a money lender. These Southern lenders do not want the Farm Loan Board to lend the Negro farmers any money because that would break up the Southern practice of "lending" to Negroes under the "system." Somebody might have to go to work, eventually. The Southern gentleman on the Farm Loan Board is hand in glove with the South, and he refuses to lend money to Negro farmers. This is a condition the President should investigate, and if the reports as recited above are true, immediate relief should follow. --- PAGE FOUR THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Proprietor.

Pastor Bronson preached one of the finest sermons ever heard in this city. The theme was: "I am determined to preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified." As Paul was the next best preacher to Jesus Christ, and uttered these words, you know it was an excellent sermon. Many praised the pastor for his wonderful discourse. At 6 p. m. the B. Y. P.

The play houses are warm and comfortable with plenty of seating room. Excellent music is furnished either by orchestra or pipe organ. THEATRES LINCOLN THEATRE NEXT WEEK Lon Chaney in "Tower of Lies" a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer super-feature picture drew a capacity house. So popular is this great picture that by popular request it will be shown again Saturday, January 23 and Sunday, January 24. The Dixie Strutters at the Lincoln this week are popular favorites with the crowd regardless of the cold weather. String Beans Price and Inez Sainders with Johnson and Joe Slats and a pretty chorus are real fun makers. "Sunshine Sammy" himself will appear in person, with six other big acts at the Lincoln, beginning Monday, January 25th. Through the east Sammy has been the greatest attraction since the days of Williams and Walker. He is the star of "Our Gang" comedy, the greatest juvenile picture of its kind ever screened. SOCIAL MENTION. Mrs. Alice M. Browne, matron at Sumner High School, has been very ill and confined to her home, 1015 Freeman avenue, for more than a week. Mrs. Lulu Dean, 1116 N. Twelfth street, spent a pleasant day in Leavenworth Sunday. Mrs. C. W. Garrett, Jr., Mrs. C. H. Adkins, and Mrs. Erlin Clark, of St. Paul, Minn., house guests of Mrs. Garrett, spent Sunday in St. Joseph, Mo., guests of Mr. and Mrs. Meredith Lee.

Mrs. Atha Patton of Chicago, who has been a guest of her sister, Mrs. Edward Hill, 2100 North Third street, for several months, and who was ill most of the time while here, recovered sufficiently to leave Sunday for Omaha. Bishop J. W. Woods, of Indianapolis, presiding bishop of Zion Methodist Church, will be visiting Zion Methodist Church of Argentine from February 27 to March 4, and will be entertained with a banquet on March 2. The Girl Reserves have organized a ukelele club. Mr. Robbins of Sumner High School is teaching manual training to the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth grade boys of Lincoln school. The Lincoln pupils are planning a Lincoln-Washington program for the next meeting of the P.-T. A. Lincoln pupils regret very much the loss of Rudolph and Marie Burney, by transfer to the Stowe and Northeast Junior High Schools, and of Frances Smith of the Fifth grade, who moved to Kansas City, Mo. The Sixth grade geography class has made a booklet on cotton. Gladys Hill was able to tell the class the story of cotton from planting to the finished product. HAPPENINGS Rev. A. A. Royston has been called to the pastorate of Park's Chapel Baptist church at Palmyra, Mo. The Young Men's club, of twenty seven members, served a fine luncheon at Mr. F. Anderson's, 1206 North Twelfth street, on Monday evening. Mr. Cornelius Ewing who has been in Minnesota, is at home now, and says: "There's no place like home." Mr. and Mrs. White and daughter reside now at 921 Washington boulevard Mrs. George Stuart, Twelfth and Ann avenue, is suffering with a sore throat. The C. M. E.

The teachers of the weekly Bible schools of Kansas City, Kansas met in a group meeting at the Washington Avenue Methodist church on Monday evening, aJnuary 18. Mrs. S. S. Osborne presided. There were ninety-four teachers present, representing every church in the city where the weekly Bible school is held. Various questions affecting the work, were discussed, led by ones selected from the different groups, in three-minute discussions. The discussion then became general. Before the principal's group, Mrs. H. G. Dwiggins, principal of the morning division of First A. M. E. Bible School, was requested to lead the discussion on "Causes of Poor Discipline, and How Do You Discipline Your School?" Mrs. Dwiggins' manner of presenting the discussion was enthusiastically received, and called forth much favorable comment. Those present decided by a majority vote to hold these joint meetings every five or six weeks. The meeting proved to be very beneficial. The topics discussed touched every phase of the work and proved the awakening interest manifested all over the country concerning child welfare. It is to be hoped that such interest will continue to increase until it will devise some means of providing for the loyal women who are now giving their services free.

It was the occasion of the celebration of the 15th anniversary of the birth of Perry Jones, son of Dr. and Mrs. Thos. A. Jones of 1700 East 28th Street. It was unique from the fact that Parents now-a-days do not give parties for their children, especially if the child is a boy. This was Master Jones' third party: the first being when he attained his fifth year; the second, no his approach to his tenth. Sixty couples in their teens filed by him as he stood at the arched entrance supported no his righ by his lovely cousin, Miss Lolita Weaver and on his left by her no less winsome sister, Miss Rosetta, and welcomed his merry guests, made up as sprites, elfins, fairies and the like. After this ceremony of wishing him many returns of the same, the Lincoln High School orchestra of which the young host is a member, discoursed music and the young folk tread many a measure. About 9 they paused and were rereshed among other things with a delicious orange ice. Then the dancing was resumed. Space does not permit to give a list of the guests. But the courtliness with Master Perry Jones looked after the pleasure of each guest recalled the manner of I. F. Bradley, Jr. when he was that age. DR. BOWENS AND VIRGINIA CALL NEGRO ARTISANS Norfolk, Jan. 22.—Dr. G. Jarvis Bowens, long since an expert in the Negro social welfare of Virginia and at present the Director of Colored Activities in a gigantic factory and millwork project in Nansemond County, Va., has issued the call for two thousand and industrious colored families, the heads of which are skilled as millwrights, electricians, machinists, plumbers, steamfitters and skilled mechanics, to locate permanently in Nansemond, where employment at good wages and pleasant home surroundings await them. This giant project represents the money and the confidence of promoters who believe that American Negro labor is as good as any that can be found. It is the call of opportunity for Negro artisans who are prepared to make good in an industrial project of great promise. The fact that Dr. Bowens, who has labored long and faithfully in his own state for the welfare and work opportunity of his own people, is the prime mover in bringing about this chance, leaves no doubt that it is gilt-edged and a long-looked for opening for men who can deliver the goods.

Fx. 4106 The baron the game hog brings home may be any kind of out-of-season game. Modern politics seems to be little more than a process of buck-passing. "I didn't get a wink of sleep" usually means, "I waked up several times." Who remembers the old-fashioned girl who was artificially upholstered? If his idea of dressing up is to put on his other necktie, he is the father of seven. Statistics are those irrefutable figures the great orator makes up as he goes along. The guests in New York's new 50-story hotel will have to get up before they go to bed. The way of it: The more traffic, the more rules; the more rules, the more violations thereof. There isn't anything vitally wrong with a race whose epitome of tough luck is a puncture. Europe would give a lot better demonstration of keeping the peace if it would stop fighting. The reason it is difficult for a man to marry his ideal is because she is after her ideal, also. There are more cuckoos than ever learned to fly. And more sealskins than there are seals. One who has just had his tonsils excavated shudders when he as much as thinks of a giraffe. Now that they have taken the "obey" out of a marriage ritual they might put it into a few laws. A good time to count ten before speaking is right after stepping on discarded chewing gum. Cynic: A person who lives with a person who has $2,700 tied up in Florida land he has never seen. By the way, was there ever any loud concerted demand that lightning strike the same place twice? An exchange wants "the man who sings at his work." It can have him— If the police don't get him first. Maybe if they let the submarines alone, they'll all dispose of themselves in the course of time by sinking. Nothing gets much more publicity nowadays than the feminine shin bone. Summer had advantages. It was easier to get into a union suit and out of bed. If a city child ever saw frost on a pumpkin he would think it was meringue. Father has to wear his work clothes so as to keep the children in sports costumes. There is no record that a fur coat left outside in the car has ever been stolen twice. All right; just wait until the cold winds begin to blow up under these balloon pants. About the time Europe thinks the war rash has been checked it breaks out in a new place. One shudders to think what it will take to constitute disorderly conduct 90 years from now. Young King Tut's wife was Queen Enkhosnamon, whom he probably called Ekn for short.

DREXEL 4023 FIRST MILLION TO BE CONTROLLED BY ALL NEGRO BOARD OF TRUSTEES—INDICATES NEW RACIAL CONFIDENCE Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 14. "The million dollars Mr. B. N. Duke has just given to Kittrell College was given outright. It has no strings attached to it. Our board of trustees composed entirely and only of black men will have charge of it." Thus spoke Bishop J. Albert Johnson of this city, to the A. M. E. Ministers' Alliance in telling them of the recent gift of Mr. Duke to Kittrell College, of whose trustee board he, Bishop Johnson, is chairman. This is the first time in the history of American education that a million dollars has been given for Negro education to a board composed entirely of Negroes. Philanthropic white people have given millions of dollars to help Negroes; but most of their millions have been administered by whites. The Peabody and Slater Funds amount to several millions, the Daniel Hand Fund, of over a million, the Rosenwald Fund, the Carnegie Fund the endowments for Hampton and Tuskegee, and Fisk University and the Jeannes Fund are either in the hands of all-white boards or boards, the majority of whom are whites. The African Methodists point with pride to the fact that their school should be the first so honored by a white man, with the large business responsibility, involved in handling the Duke gift, and are aware that they will be watched very carefully, believing that if they administer these funds efficiently it will mean more Negroes on the board where there is large business interests involved. Just as thirty years ago the A. M. E. Church started to making colored College presidents and all-colored College faculties, and had its example followed by many schools, so it hopes that many Negroes will profit by this new development. Mr. Duke who gave the money was personally acquainted with Kittrell and the men responsible for shaping her policy. And because of their proved business ability he did not hesitate to put a million dollars into their hands. For these black men are used to handling millions. Among the trustees are John M. Avery, a graduate of Kittrell, and secretary treasurer of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company, the largest insurance company of the race; Prof. W. G. Pearson, president of the Bankers Fire Insurance, the largest fire insurance company of the race. (Messrs. Avery and Pearson live in Durham, N. C., the headquarters for many years of the Dukes and their business ability is known there). John R. Hawkins, former president of Kittrell, now financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church, and president of the Prudential Bank, largest colored bank of Washington, D. C., and others. These men are used to handling millions of dollars for their own people and Mr. Duke could easily trust them. News in its strictest sense is the first report of any information on any subject; after the first "printing" it ceases to be news. Why? Because until the information is printed, until it is given circulation in some publication, it is news to the general public. An occurence of importance may be known to many persons, to entire communities, in fact, yet it is news to other persons and other communities and, as such, is legitimate subject for publication. The Kansas City Advocate last week carried "News" Many compliments were paid the Editor. Thanks for the encouragement. Any merchant who had sales going on missed out on our people knowing it. We want the merchants to know we can make a ten-strike for them when they advertise. When the furniture dealer, the clothing merchant or the grocer has a big sale with reduced prices that is "news" when it is known to every community, in every section of the city, and to every person, it has news value.

Jeffery, who has the power on injecting pep and fight into his players. The players of N. E. will hold up their slate and show it is yet clean. Both the schools are now entering into the basket ball season which promises much success and is the major winter indoor sport of many schools. Sumner, the last year champions of the valley are due to repeat it, this year as they only lost one of their players of their winning team. They have with them Jackson, all valley guard, Lowe, all valley center, Lucas who has letters in Basket ball and football and Cotten. Some of the new players are: E. Crouthers, W. Shelton, U. Plummer, W. Jackson, F. Chambers, V. Jones and F. Boggus, these young men are the prospects of the '25 and '26 champions of S. H. S. Sumner opened this season Friday night with the Lawrence High school on the S. H. court. The question that is in the minds of some of the basket ball players is why do not the churches work with the schools and form a Sunday School Basket Ball League in which they compete with the church S. S. B. B. league for championship, and also it will furnish to the children clean games. Many of the large cities are now using this plan and it is success. A set of rules could be very easily worked out that would be satisfacorty to all persons attending such as (no person could belong to two of the organizations.) would depend upon whether they could compete would depend upon their attendance at the N. E. J. H. gym or Trinity Gym, or at Sumner Gym. We are hoping that some of the citizens will help us start this movement, for the young men and women too, we are hoping that our ministers will help move this idea to a fact. WM.

HEALTH HINTS FROM THE DENTIST Oral Prophylaxes is the systematic cleansing of the teeth, gum tissue, mucous membrane and the proper care of the throat and tonsils. To cleanse the teeth properly a tooth brush of medium stiff bristles is employed. Beginning at the gum margin of the upper teeth a downward stroke is used in the direction of the long axis of the teeth which brushes the debris to their cutting edge: the same method being employed on the lower teeth with an upward stroke. Try to reach every available surface of the teeth. The gum tissue is gently massaged with the brush to stimulate blood circulation and increase firmness; dental floss is then used to dislodge any material that might be lodged in the interpropinal spaces of the teeth. Follow this operation with a suitable mouth wash rinsing the mouth and tissues thoroughly. Flabby and bleed-infl' gums demand a wash that will harden and shrink the soft tissue. Your tooth paste must neither be too sweet nor contain too much abrasive material i.e., one containing too much grit, the former causes rapid decay, the latter excessive wear on the enamel surfaces of the tooth. Teeth should be brushed upon arising and immediately before retiring. The throat and tonsils should be gargled once a day. NEWS DIGEST By Edward La Salle Mr. Owen of the Messenger and Mr. Bibb of the Whip are staging a battle royal. Mr. Owen with his knife ready is going after the scalp of the said Bibb. This ought to be an amusing show. Frenchmen cannot understand the why of the Rhinelander case, says a writer back from over there. That isn't strange because Nordic supremacy and 100 per cent Americanism has not penetrated over there. Roland Hayes is causing a big row down east. His singing to a few segregated audiences caused a big howl among some of our so called Elite. What does these people expect? They know the country they live in and how the Negro is regarded as a disease. The only remedy for this segration is to hire the gentleman ourselves under our management other wise, Kismet. Florida has started the New Year right, a Negro was lynched charged with the usual crime, an attempted assault on a white woman. A minister in Chicago claims to have exploded the Nordic myth, thats the seventh explosion the writer remembers, its about time the myth retire to the background and stay off the front page. The Count de Porok will be in "big muddy" this week telling the Nordics about the white race he found in the heart of the Sahara, they have been there about ten thousand years, according to the Count. The white ladies will no doubt applaud but if one of the Tureag's as this race is called, would try to eat at their table he would be speedily "put in his place."

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE ```markdown ``` WESTERN UNIVERSITY AND DOUGLASS HOSPITAL DRIVE A SUCCESS. The Western University and Douglass Hospital Day of the Fifth Episcopal District came to a successful close at First A. M. E. Church on Thursday night, January 14. The church was packed to its capacity to hear the very splendid program outlined and to hear the final heorts. The occasion was indeed a gala one. Music was furnished by the principal Methodist choirs of the two cities, with the Junior Choir of First A. M. E. Church, under the direction of Professor Wise, leading off with a beautiful rendition which set the pace for the others to follow. The Senior Choir, under the direction of Mrs. Ophelia Jackson, closed the program with an ecstasy of glory. In between these two, throughout the program, selections were rendered by Allen Chapel choir, under Professor Jackson; Ebeneezer choir, the group of singers, whose melodious voices have gone all over the country by means of the radio, and who rendered "Deep River" in a manner seldom equalled and never surpassed; Ward Chapel choir, who rendered a beautiful folk song. Allen Chapel's choir was out almost 100 per cent in attendance, and the selection they gave was beautiful, with the solo part rendered by Mrs. Antoinette Jackson in her own Grand Opera style. The Western University Glee Club is composed of a group of young men whose naturally good voices have been trained to the highest degree. The selection they rendered was a symphony of harmonious melody. The Western University orchestra interspersed selections all through their program. Their numbers were good and were greatly enjoyed by the audience. The only address given was delivered by Rev. Charles Sumner Williams, pastor of Allen Chapel. Rev. Williams is a speaker of rare ability and force, and he managed to infuse into his short address on "Racial Prejudice," all the fire and power of an aggressive, race-loving personality. Bishop A. J. Carey, presiding bishop over the Fifth Episcopal District, in his own way, very effectively presented the claims of the educational interests of the District. The presiding elders made financial reports from their districts, the total amount reported being $4,000. Of this amount Rev. W. T. Osborne, P. E., of Kansas City district, reported $506, the largest amount reported by any presiding elder. The churches of the District who had outstanding amount were the First A. M. E. church of Kansas City, Kansas, under Rev. J. B. Isaacs, with $346.75; Allen Chapel of K. C. Mo., under Rev. C. S. Williams, with $178.80; Ebeneezer of Kansas City, Mo., under Rev. Wm. Peck, with $150. Bishop Carey was much pleased with the results and commended those who merited it. By a majority vote, the Presiding Elders' Council will be held in St. Louis the second week in April. First A. M. E. church serves notice on the District, that it has, and proposes to maintain the first place in all future church activities. Mrs. Lavada Strickland Spencer has returned to Chicago after burying her husband, Mr. Henry Spencer. Mrs. Pauline Freeman substituted at Lewis school a half day last week.

The reasons, while yet obscure enough, are becoming more and more tangible to students of physiology, and it is extremely important that enlightenment on this subject may become more general. The development of a normal nursing infant carefully watched over by a healthy, competent mother is marvelous to behold. Such a child seems to be a prefect incarnation to health. The changes from day to day are a constant revelation of the workings of a thoroughly co-ordinated machine. Just as long as the healthy mother can supply abundance of nourishment for such a child, the development persists rapidly and symmetrically. (To be continued in next issue.)
