ROLAND HAYES CAPTIVATES LARGE AUDIENCE IN RECITAL
(Preston News Service) NORFOLK, VA, Nov. 30—Roland Hayes, celebrated lyric tenor, who is heralded as one of the most finished resital artists before the American public today, sang in concert at the Zion Baptist Church Saturday night.
The Richmond Times Dispatch critic, commenting on the program given by Hayes at Richmond, Monday night said: "Most of us old-timers have long clung to the idea that the Negro voice does not lend itself happily to schooling, and that its appeal lies in its natural and untaught quality, just as we used to believe that such men as Blind Tom who played by ear, could become famous as an instrumentalist. Now it may well be that Roland Hayes will give us further instructions in the matter of the highly schooled Negro singer. Not relatively, but positively speaking, if there is a lyric tenor capable of giving a more admirable recital in America today, I do not recall him."
"BULLET" ROGAN HOLDS RECORD
(Preston News Service)
CHICAGO, ILL., Nov. 28 - Bullet
Rogan, star pitcher with the Kansas
City Monarchs, holds the strikeout
record of all times, for a single game.
Once during Bullet's stay in the U S.
Army, where he first gained his fame,
exactly 25 men tasted the sting of Rogan's twirling without doing more than whiffing the breeze.
Then to add to the day's activities,
Rogan made it his 52nd win of the season. If this record has ever been approached in any league, there are no records to show the same.

BETTER FILMS FOR COLORED CHILDREN
BETTER FILMS FOR COLORED CHILDREN
ATLANTA, GA., November (Special)—The Atlanta Better Films Committee, which for some time has been putting on at leading theaters special educational films for white children, recently extended this service also to colored children, showing the same films in one of the Negro theaters. The Committee reports that the experiments has been quite successful, the audiences being large and appreciative. The colored women's clubs of the city are co-operating by providing chaperonage for the children. The Better Films Committee is made up of Atlanta women prominent in club and social life and is headed by the president of the Woman's Club.
COLORED CITIZENS SURPRISE ATLANTA
MAKE NOTABLE CONTRIBUTION TO COMMUNITY CHEST CAMPAIGN.
ATLANTA, GA., November, (Special)—A notable feature of the Community Chest Campaign for $600,000 which was successfully conducted here last week was the active and generous co-operation of the colored people who made 4261 subscriptions to the fund, aggregating $33,084. This sum about equals the total amount apportioned in the Chest Budget to the six participating Negro organizations, indicating that in Atlanta, at least, the colored population is reaching the point where it can care for its own pliantthropies and need no longer entail burden on the community in this regard.
More surprising than the total was the fact that the second largest individual subscription of the whole campaign was one of $3500, made by Heman Perry, colored, in the name of The Service Company, an organization which affiliates eleven Negro business enterprises, with a total capitalization of $5,500,000. Officers and employees of this company subscribed a total of $8050. E. R. Black, the campaign chairman, paid an appreciative tribute to the spirit shown by the colored people in this great community enterprise.

NEW LEADER FOR STUDENT YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
NEW YORK, N. Y.—One of the first public announcements of Dr. C. H. Tobias, Sen'or Secretary of the Department for Colored men of the International Committee, was the announcement that Mr. William Curtis Craver, for five years leader of Student Associations of the Southwest, would have chief responsibility in leading the Y. M. C. A., work among the colored schools and colleges of America. Mr. Craver is an alumnus of Shaw University and the University of Chicago, 1912.

The Resposibility and Opportunity of the Intermediate Teacher
BY MISS GENEVA MERCOMES, Newton, Kansas.
(Continued from last issue) There are a number of physical changes which affect their behavior in fact their whole lives at this age. Increased blood pressure, muscular development, growth of the brain and other changes consume a great deal of energy, and the pupils are often called lazy and listless, when really they should not be blaned. The powers of mind and body do not develop harmoniously and their whole lives are contradictory.
Adolescent boys and girls do not understand themselves and too often parents and teachers do not understand them. They are called "gigging girls;" self-sufficient boys," and a hundred other unsympathetic terms are applied to them. True enough they do manifest some of these traits but it is the teacher's duty to deal with them kindly. While boys are usually boisterous and self-assertive, girls are more often timid and shy, due to somewhat awkward physical conditions. They are sensitive and even morbid in some cases. Here is where mothers and daughters become estranged, and girls leave the teasing or scolding family and often resort to tears in the solitude of their own room. Boys who are given the worst rooms in the house leave them for a more attractive place "down-town." Then we pray for our "wandling boy" and "wayward girl," when we, not knowing what we did, drove them away. We must study them, that we may understand and deal tenderly with them.
A wise, sympathetic friend outside of the family can be a great blessing to a girl at this age. They naturally idealize an older girl or a young woman. The new problems which they cannot solve demand a trustworthy friend. Here is the teacher's opportunity. Let her become this friend, she can win their admiration, trust and confidence, and be a real helper to them. She must be kind, sympathetic and prayerful in the task. Return their love, it is easy to do, be the same to them everywhere. Their budding souls are so tender, so easily

SOUTHERN WHITE EDITORS TO ADVERTISE SOUTH TO REST OF WORLD
SOUTHERN WHITE EDITORS TO ADVERTISE SOUTH TO REST OF WORLD
(Preston News Service)
NEW ORLEANS, LA, Nov 29-At a recent meeting of the Southern Newspaper Publishers' Association a committee was appointed for the purpose of selling the South to the South and to the rest of the world fur that matter. It was claimed in the meeting that there is a general misunderstanding of the beauties of the South as a place to live and do business.
Among the many things that the world "is to be set right on" are about the educational advantages and facilities, industrial opportunities, living conditions and a full and complete understanding of the southern Negro and why he is handled best by southern white men's methods. The campaign will start next spring and handle by the 217 white daily newspapers that are members of the association.

Preston News Service)
NEW YORK, Nov. 29 —Governor Smith Monday night told a mass meeting of Negroes held in the interest of those of their race who are migrating from the South to the North and that "If your relatives in the South want to come North and will be as clean living hard-working members of society as you are, we will be glad to have them."

Referring to the white cross labor bureau, Rev. Simon P. Drew, manager, which has undertaken to provide employment for the migrating Negroes, the governor declared New York was the country's greatest industrial state and the necessity of the hour was the medium which brought capital and labor together."

COLORED BOY HEIR DEFEATS GUARDIANS' SUIT
(Preston News Service)
WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 30--Dewey Hawkins, Colored, 20 years old, who owns more than $100,000 worth of oil lands in Oklahoma, will not have to go back to Bristow, Okla, his home town, because h's fourth guardian, L. H. McEwen, wanted him to, according to a ruling yesterday by Justice Siddons in the District Supreme Court.
The guardian sued out a writ of habeas corpus to obtain custody of Hawkins, who will be of age in a few months, but the latter insisted he came to Washington to join his wife and make arrangements for better protection of his interests in Oklahoma. Justice Siddons held that Hawkins could come and go when he pleased and could investigate the handling of his holdings as he chose.
ARE YOU AWARE?
BY E. M. BARNES.
That it does not add one lota to the greatness of an individual to ignore the common folk? This kind of action is especially noticable in public servants. More than any other public servants, the preacher and teacher should especially be mindful of the mothers and fathers and the children of the community in which they serve. A preacher who is so loving, polite, kind and mindful only on Sunday when his members must "pay off" is not fitted for the job. Likewise, a teacher who is not an outstanding asset to the community by filling some definite and noticeable place in the community affairs thereby making the community a little better, does not really deserve the monthly compensation he gets.
It these two classes of servants would properly determine the importance of the'r stations and do accordingly, this world would certainly be saved.
If the preacher who is posing as a distributor of fresh messages from the Father of us all, fails to keep himself from becoming stained with the things of the world and causes the youth to lose sight and hold of the Being represented, he is an agent of the devil instead of God. On the other hand, the teacher who contends that she is adding her bit to needed contributions of the community and fails to earnestly and heartily acquiesce in community plans for symmetrically developing the boy and girl life is not only a misfit, but she is not acting in accord with the real principals for which education stands; for education is indeed the development of the serving qualities.
Society demands all of our times either directly or indirectly. And, we owe ourselves and our abilities and talents to society. It is somewhat difficult, I'll admit to rightly differentiate between times we should be serving directly and when we should be indirectly co-operating: When we serve directly we are right on the job with our hearts and hands; and the indirect service is told in the effects of fireside preparation of one's posterior so that they can, later on, stand on the shoulders of their parents and reach three or four times higher than their fathers and mothers. The indirect service in society is also shown in one's just earnings of his livelihood, and also in one's rest and recreational program; for when one takes his proper amount of rest and recreation he is thus better fitted to do a greater and better work for his community. We said last week this column was established for the express purpose of provoking a flow of real logical thinking. It is very pleasing indeed to have had so many reactions in the recent past from those who think. If you think give us your thoughts; they may be worthwhile.
We are glad to publish any thes's of interest in this column. Send them in by mail, telegraph, telephone or 'tekwoman' by Wednesday a. m., on anytime. ADDRESS:—

One hundred and three colored schools and colleges are invited to send delegates to Indianapolis. The citizens of that city are making preparation to care for no less than the number that went to Des Moines. Great interest is being manifest throughout the colleges. The International Y. M. C. A., for men and the National Board, Y. W. C. A., for women are the leading organizations in urging delegates from colored institutions.

Sabbath School at 0:30 conducted by Supt. Mrs. J. W. Hayes, was well attended. The interest and attendance are growing each Sabbath and the classes are striving to bring in new members each week.
The text for the morning discourse was found in the 17th chapter of John and the 18th verse. Pastor Rev. J. W. Hayes selecting for his subject: "The Great Commission." This great Gospel message made us see clearly the duties and responsibilities of the church as given in the great Commission to the church by Jesus before His ascension. The world's greatest Missionary was Jesus, Who was sent into the world by IIs Father to show us how to do Missionary Work and to give us a Missionary life. We as Christians are urged to speak in Christ's stead; church of Jesus Christ is to be in the world, but kept free from the sins of the world. The Great Commission that was given to the church was and is today, to "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." God has given every one who is saved a definite work to do. God saved us to help save others; and He is expecting us each day to do a full day's work for Him. The Great Commission is great because of its extent; to utmost parts of the world; and great in its power because it is the Power of God unto Salvation; great in its direction because it goes beyond the grave and unto eternity. We are urged to believe in God for the world and we must reach out and touch somebody else. There must be a giving up of self fully to God and a love for others to really be the Missionary that Jesus would have us be and to carry out "The Great Commission." There were two additions to the church at the close of this forceful message.
At 6 o'clock the Senior B. Y. P. U., assembled in the lecture room as the guests of the Junior B. Y. P. U., who entertained us with a splendid program with Miss Margerete Van Leu President of Junior B. Y. P. U. Our very souls were uplifted by this program so well rendered. The Junior B. Y. P. U., is one of the most wide-a-wake organizations in Calvary and under the supervision of Mrs. Lillian Williams, they are putting over a program that means much in the development of our young folks.
The evening service was fine. Rev. J. F. Green preached as never before from Acts 10:30; his subject was: "The Church In Prison." Everybody present seemed to have enjoyed this most excellent sermon.
The Annual Xn as Buzuar given by the Calvary Mission Circle will open Monday evening with a Missionary Play: "Volces of the Women."

Salina, Kansas News. ST. JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. S. A. Williams, Pastor.
"For I have opened my mouth unto the Lord, and I cannot go back;" were the words of the text, selected by pastor Williams for Sunday morning's discourse; theme: "Strong Determination." It required strong determination on the part of Jephtha to keep his promise to God, when it took from him his beloved daughter; and so it is with the Christians today, it takes strong determination on our part to stand against the inducements and the things allure in this sinful world. Our salvation depends largely on our determination.
Sunday School was well attended and much interest manifested in the lesson: "Christians Called To Be Missionaries."
At 3 p. m., Pastor Williams baptized 5 (five) converts in the Smoky Hill River; there was a large number present to witness this sacred rite.
A large and appreciative audience listened to a very impressive sermon by our pastor Sunday evening. He chose for a text Rom. 6:23; subject: "The wages of sin is death." He emphasized three kinds of death; caused by sin; first, death to the body; second, spiritual death; third, soul death. It was indeed a strong sermon full of admonition for all.
A Junior Chorus consisting of over 20 (twenty) voices, was organized Sunday in our church. The pastor is anxious to put the young converts to work. Miss Geraldine Bryant was elected chorister. Thanksgiving will be observed with union services at 11 a. m., at the St. John-Baptist Church; Rev. Rooks pastor of the A. M. E. Church will deliver the sermon. Pastor Williams left Tuoaday morning for Hutchinson, where he will conduct a revival assisted by Rev. J. E. Jeltz the National Singer.
A very interesting meeting was held at the church Thursday afternoon, discussing the "Necessity of Cooperation in the Development of the Christian Life of Our Children." Pastor Williams as Master of Ceremony stated in his address that the co-operation of the home, school and church were the only means by which the Christian side could be developed. We listened to strong logical addresses by the following: Rev. Rooks, A. M. E. Pastor; Dr. H. H. Wilson, Prof. P. G. Porter, Principal of Dunbar School; Rev. Franklin; Mrs. O. E. Jackson, teacher in the Religious School; Mrs. Ed. Finch, President of the Parent and Teachers' Association; and Mr. Jas. De Priest, President of the Ladies' Aid Society. Those who were not present missed a treat.
Mrs. M. S. Green and grand-daughter, Viola, are spending a few days in Independence.
Mr. J. W. Jackson, Winfield, spent a few days in the city, guest of his brother Mr. R. C. Jackson and Mrs. Jackson.

Chanute Notes
Mrs. Francis B. Watson at New Hope.
We are proud to announce that never a woman spake in this town like this woman; Mrs. Watson, returned Missionary from Africa, delivered 2 lectures on Thursday for both sex, male and female, white and colored, were both interested and put in their presence at each meeting. Pastor Branch says other towns have the quantity but Chanute has the quality of people. After such earnest efforts to have us see the needs of our brother across the water, and then their idols of life, the New Hope Baptist Church rose up and placed on the table for Foreign Mission $40.65 and for a special offering for a present of which the people gave our Missionary $24.00; made a total for Chanute of $64.40.
The program given in Iola, headed by Mrs. B. Hawkins of Chanute, was a real success; seven cars, 40 people went from Chanute, to witness the program.

THE movement to establish a branch of The Young Women's Christian Association for the young women of the race cannot be commended too highly as an act of Christian foresight fitted to maintain the character building program which has impelled leading women of the community for the last few years. It is to be hoped that the greater good and tangible service for the race will far outweigh any personal desire for position and the accompanying honors which ordinarily fall to individuals and groups interested in promoting such movements. Conditions not only in Wichita, but in all cities of its magnitude throughout the country, justify fully the establishment of such organizations for our young women but the success of such movement must be based alone upon the bed-

G. L. A. CLUB NOTES.
The G. L. A. Club met Tuesday with Miss L. Covington. It was Domestic Science Day. The quotations were given from Favorite Recipes. The outlined program was a demonstra-
rock of Christian LOVE and a whole hearted desire to work upon the part of those who have caught the great vision of a world redeemed through personal service in The Name of The Christ. The project is certainly far too great to admit of a narrow conception, able only to see thru glasses made dim by the chilly blast of social standards, unhallowed denominationism, or petty part-liaisonhip What with The Wichita Baptist Missionary Union, Methodist Women's Societies, Wichita Federation of Colored Women's Clubs and other civic and social agencies among the colored women cannot be accomplished, provided a display of common sense and Christian wisdom is employed in the selection of the CHRISTIAN leadership of the organization

L'OUVERTURE TAKE BOTH
GAMES FROM DOUGLAS.
With Miss Laura Rawles refereeing the first half L'Ouverture made 24 and Douglass 6. With Prof. F. L. Barnett refereeing the last half of the Volley Ball Game the score went up L'Ouverture 39 and Douglass 19. Total 63 for L'Ouverture and 25 for Douglass. We admire the way the girls on both sides fought to save the honors for their school.
With Mr. Shepherd refereeing the Basket Ball Game the battle was fierce from start to finish. These boys played the game to win but both side couldn't win so L'Ouverture took off the victory by a small margin of 5 to Douglass 4. The school yell proved the loyalty that was in the breast of each scholar and teacher for his or her school.

"The Ministry of Angels" was the Subject of the sermon by Rev. Pope at 11:00 a.m. It was full of the Spirit of Truth and light that appealed to the hearts of the hearers.
The program of our S. S. was shown by the increased numbers present. A good financial report also of the splendid results of the play given on Tuesday evening, the 20th. Bible Class No. 1 Rev. Pope, teacher was the banner class.
The meeting of the A. C. E. League was well attended at 7:30 p.m.
At the evening services a very excellent sermon by our pastor from Luke 17:7, subject: "The Miracle of Ingratitude." He spoke of the ten
lepers healed and commanded by Jesus to show themselves to the priests, only one returned to glorify God, and give thanks to the Master. Jesus asked were there not ten cleansed but where are he nine? That same question is being asked today. Showing the sins of ingratitude. A Grand Recital will be given on Dec. 31st by Madam Lulu Robinson-Jones, Lyric Soprano of New York.

In large quantities, the storm also brought two gallons of frozen ice flavored with raspberry and chocolate cake and all were served. This was made and presented by Mr. and Mrs. Elie Carter.

"How many wear a smile upon their face
Although their hearts may hold an empty place?
None know the heights or depths of their regrets.

If the teacher has become this ideal she is responsible for their character in the same proportion as they trust and follow her. It is her duty to live before them a life worthy of their exemplification. Her motte might well be:—

I would be friend to all, to foe, to friendless,
