Vol.15,No 25, STUDIO DOINGS: Weekly reports from the Coleridge-Taylor Studio are delayed because of such little time to write them every week. The work is still growing in interest and enrollment and promises much credit to Wichita. The younger students are very enthusiastic this term and the older students are in a contest for the month of October, which will culminate the first of November in a recital with the "grown-ups." Miss Sims, the President has also a very interesting class in violin at L'Ouverture again this year; due to the success of the class last year. It has been said that if there is any music in you Miss Sims will bring it out. She appreciates these kind remarks, and only asks that the parents stand back of her in the respective homes, and she will do her part at the studio. Miss Sims combines her original method with the standard and national academy methods and success is therefore attained. Miss Penn, one of the students and her mother, Mrs. Looney pleasantly surprised Miss Sims last Thursday by presenting her with a very beautiful and delicious birthday cake of chocolate, Mrs. Looney can certainly bake cakes. We solicit your interest and thank you always. New Hope Baptist The persons present in our Sunday School, Oct. 7, studied diligently the call of the faithful Abraham.

Weare is already getting his cadets in military form and Miss E. C. Jones, Physical Director for young women is getting the girls in trim for the big annual parade. Last year the parade was a mile long and a detachment of colored troops from Ft. Leavenworth was present. Principal G. R. Bridgeforth expects a larger number of soldiers this year than last. The Agricultural and Industrial floats will be bigger an better. Last year Arthur Emory of Douglass County, won first prize of $25.00 for the best agricultural float. His float was decorated with all sorts of agricultural products raised on his farm. Mr. M. G. Bolin of Topeka, a successful trucker and had a truck float which took off the second prize.

For the best floats, prizes of $25, $15, and $10 will be given. There will be an exhibit instilled at the Institute on ahe 16th and 17th of farmers clubs and various organizations in which the Institute is interested. Prominent people from all over the State will be present. ARE YOU AWARE? BY E. M. BARNES. That success is no more measured in terms of dollars and cents? One might succeed in life and yet live in need. To have succeeded in life implies that one's activities in the community make that community better because of his having lived in it. Since the dollar is our medium of exchange, it is not only a very good and desirable thing to possess; but it is ind.spensibly necessary to our well being. That Mrs. Dr. A. K. Lawrence is fearing that when she leaves Wichita, and turn her attention toward home and normally the readjustment to ordinary home life might be rather strenuous to her That the most important point of consideration in school work with the real conscientious teacher is the effort of the student? The normal pupil who has been given the rudimentary information, if he tries religiously, will in ordinary cases accomplish the task given him. Many teachers grade a child wholly on the finished product. Altho it is very important in the life of an individual to know how to do a task well, the paramount thing in the life of a pupil is the soul he puts into his work. So in proportion as a teacher can develop in her students tht most inseperable asset, effort, the question of discipline will be reduced toward the minimum. Do you think sometimes until your head hurts? That's the way. $25,000 DRIVE CENTRAL BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.—TOPEKA KANSAS By request of those who have entered the Scholarship Contest, connected with this Drive, the time has been extended and the contest will close October 22, 1923.

THEY THOUGHT HE WAS NEGRO ONE SHOT DEAD (Preston News Service) NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 12—Unfortunately for the barber who tho' bectuse a man possessed a swarthy skin he was an American Negro. The other barbers in that shop will be careful about whom they refuse to shave hereafter. It is said that a Porto Rican, named Julio Rodriguez went into a barber shop and asked to be shaved and was flatly told that "we do not shave Nijgers." When Rodriguez endeavored to explain that he was not an American Negro, he was told to go to a colored barber shop, three blocks down the avenue. "I have been to three other barbershops" said Rodriguez, "and I need a shave bedly," he said. The hot tempered American became greatly incensed at discrimination shown and fired at the barber who refused him. Then he wheeled on another who attempted to attack him from the back and shot him down. The bullet striking the barber in the temple, causing instant death. The ugly situation so frequently brought about on account of the inherent and wide-spread race hatred and discrimination in America makes this country the general laughing stock of other nations of the world. St. Paul Notes. Gen. 12.2 was the text of the sermon at the 11 a. m., services; "I will bless thee and make thy name great, and be thou a blessing to others. Subject: "Bless to be Blessed." Showing the test of Abraham's faith and obedience to the call of God, and his promised blessings, and His command after having been blessed to bestow his favors upon others. Our mission is in receiving and giving, and to use all our influence to bear in winning the world for Christ. At the evening services another splendid sermon was delivered by the pastor. The Holy Sacrament was administered. The S. S. Board elected officers and teachers at their meeting on Tuesday evening. The Ladies Aid Society met Wednesday afternoon. They will hold a cooked food sale Saturday, 20th at Jordan's* 601 N. Main. Board No. 1 served regular weekly dinner Thursday. It was Promotion Day in the Sun.

Richardson, Robert Blanchard, Margaret Terrill, Wm Kelly, Geo, Garner. The Misses were Ruthelaim Stritten, Vera Walden and Helen Hogan, from intermediate to senior No. 1. Bro. C. P. Edwards writes from Oklahoma, that his health is improving. (Lincoln Press Service) ST. LOUIS, MO, Oct 12.—Three hundred and seventy-five members of the St. Louis, Real Estate Exchange have approved a plan for the establishment of a Negro residential section of the city. The plan of Segregation has for its fundamental force the refusal to sell property to colored people in other sections than those set aside from them. The claim has been that the colored population 65,000 in 1920 has increased through migration to more than 100,000, and that some action for housing of the migrants is imperative. It is said that colored people will press their opposition to the new ruling in court, if necessary, even to the point of holding that the action of the real estate men is conspiracy. SUCCESSFUL FARMERS. Several prosperous groups of colored farmers are located in the West and Northwest, and efforts are now being made to attract others to Northern Michigan, Wisconsin, Sully County, South Dakota, and Weld County, Colorado. Most of our farmers who now reside in these states are from the South. This movement should be encouraged because every successful producer is an asset to the Race. RESOLUTION Wherecas, God saw in His All-Wise Providence to send His great monster death and took from us our beloved Sister Bettie Washington; She is "Asleep in Jesus Blessed sleep; From which none ever wakes to weep" Let us bow in humble submission to the will of Him Who doth all things well; Be it Resolved that we the pastor and members of St. Mary Baptist Church extend our heart felt sympathy to the bereaved family in their hour of sorrow. Rev. J. E. Douglass, Pastor, RESOLUTION: Cherryvale, Kansas, Oct. 9, 1923. In Behalf of Bethlehem Baptist Ch. and Minneapolis Circle and Missionary Circle. "Tell me not in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream; For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem." Whereas, it has pleased the Almighty God to take from this Baptist union one of our most devoted Christian workers, and Missionary, Rev. J. H. Van Leu; and one who also devoted his time for the elevation of fallen humanity—Rev. Van Leu loved and lived for others as well as for himself; Do it Resolved, That the Bethlehem Baptist Church and Mission Circle bow our heads in humble submission to the will of The Heavenly Father, Who doth all things well. Mrs. Clara Daniels, Pres. M. S. Miss Tessie Wheaton, Sec'y. NEGRO FOLK SONG (Lincoln News Service) PIHLADELPHIA, PA., Oct. 12—A new sort of service for the House of Correction has been planned this winter. Old Negro folk songs of the South will be used to regenerate the girls who surrender to the charms of such songs as "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "And Steal Away to Jesus." Because of the belief that many of them are spiritually hungry, it is thought that surh songs will aid in turning the girls from drink and drugs. "FACTS, NOT OPINIONS." (American Legion News Letter) The American Legion and the Atchison Girls' Club of Atchison, will present the largest peacant of recent years in Atchison, on the nights of October 2, 3, and 4, according to a recent statement received at state headquarters of the Legion in Topeka, one of the features of the event will be a French village taken from the time of peace through the time of peace through the time of war and on to conditions of peace following the disruption, shown in a pageant. Over one-thousand dollars has been expended for flares, illuminations and fireworks of different descriptions. A large percentage of the membership of the two organizations have been taking part in the rehearsals and will be included in the programs for the big event. The pageant will be the main event of the evenings performance but in addition there will be staged additional features to the pageant proper. A number of French 75's and tanks have been secured and will be used in the demonstration which promises to be an extraordinary affair. Five Cents Per Copy DOES THE WHITE SOUTH WIN IN HOSPITAL CONTEST? Whites To Control Big Hospital At Tuskegee, Alabama. (Preston News Service) MEMPIHS, TENN. Oct. 12—A few months ago when Negroes from all parts of the country were making a strong howl, practically demanding the removal of white officers at the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, Director General F. T. Hines, made strong assertions that the personnel at Tuskegee would be Negro, as well as said that he was endeavoring to work out a plan for a board of control to be composed of both whites and Negroes similar to Tuskegee Institute. The Negroes were led to believe that such a plan might be O. K., since it seemed that the entire staff at the hospitals would be composed of Negro physicians and nurses. Then the big noise about the Tuskegee personnel abated somewhat, finally Director Hines has let it be known that he is in sympathy with the special southern committee and has granted them exxtly what they desired. A white man for surgeon-in-chief with two other white men as assistants. That Negroes of the country may not be misled as to the intentions of the Director Hines the following letter to Geo. W. Lee, vice president of the Mississippi Life Insurance Company, with offices in this city, is evidence sufficient. The letter follows: Mr. George W. Lee, vice president, Mississippi Life Insurance Company 390 Bcale Avenue, Memphis, Tenn. My dear Mr. Lee: Your letter of September 19th, addressed to the president with which you included a resolution passed by the Tennessee State Convention of the American Legion, relative to the United States Veterans' Hospital No. 91, Tuskegee, Alabama, has been forwarded to this Bureau for reply. You are advised that careful consideration was given to the matter of staffing this Hospital and it has been decided that with the exception of the commanding officer and two assistants the personnel will be colored. Steps are now being taken to replace the white employees on duty by colored personnel. I wish to express to you my appreciation of your interest in the matter. Yours very truly, (Signed) Frank T. Hines, Director. ATTENDANCE DOUBLED IN NORTHERN SCHOOLS (Lincoln News Service) WASHINGTON, Oct. 12—The aggregate number of colored children, 7 to 20 years of age, attending school has almost doubled in Northern and border cities into which southern migrants have been steadily flowing during the last few years. Philadelphia has the distinction of having the greater number of these children in schools than any other city in the United States. Disregarding locations, the percentage of school attendance in all cities having 10,000 or more colored children of this age group, is the greatest in Washington, which is closely followed in the older named by Philadelphia, Chicago, Birmingham, Baltimore, New Orleans, and New York. G. L. A. CLUB NOTES. The G. L. A. Club met Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. F. O. Miller, with Mrs. Marie Williams as hostess. The time was mostly devoted to the transaction of business.
