There are two things wrong here: there should be no discrimination against Negroes, and the antiquated system of putting prisoners out for labor should be ended. The scheme at Atlanta, evidently owes its life to the fact that the prison is in the Souh. It is common practice among southern states to put convicts out on private contracts, chiefly for road work. But the southern states themselves are getting away from this custom. They have been learning that much abuse and actual murder have taken place in these chain gangs, that the most brutal treatment is accorded those who are thus sold into peonage. If the rtates find the system bad; the federal government has no business keeping on with it. And, Atlanta, is not a southern prison, it is a federal institution. It ought not follow any of the southern practices, neither in racial discrimination nor in prison methods, unless some of the latter commend themselves for use in all federal reformatories. It is a situation Aterney General Mitchell should not permit for a moment, since this exposure by the N. A. A. C. P. Mary Talbert Branch The Y. W. C. A.

BAXTER SPRINGS, KANS., Dear Church Workers—At our Board meeting, held at Wayside, Kansas, October, 24th and 25th, 1929, a new Budget was arranged. Now this is for the District only; the State will publish their own list, we are urging that you meet your obligations, promptly. The District needs the money to carry on its work. Don't forget to send the General Secretary your January apportionment and if you did not represent at the October Board, send both in your January remittance. Don't forget we must have the money or the work must lag. We are praying for your success. Yours for the Master, REV J. T. ELIAS, Moderator. H. H. CURTIS, Secretary. Mt.

Myers, star quarterback of New York University, did not play football against either Georgia, nor Missouri in spite of the importunities of the Eastern press and fellow-students—it seems that there was a "gentleman's agreement" made with both schools—Myers, you see, is a Negro. Potential first string backs and linemen are constantly kept from playing at K. U., Nebraska, and Kansas State (famed for its democracy) because of the accident of color—made big by a standing "gentleman's agreement" with Oklahoma and Missouri. Gentlemen's agreements are apparently, a last resort to keep a regular eleven from looking bad because of the ability of darker stars on the opposing teams—and the color superiorlay myth seems even more far-fetched when you have to legislate to keep it. Iowa State is the only big valley in recent years with guts enough to play a Negro on its team—Holloway Smith played tackle there in 1926-27, and made quite a name for himself, although the gentlemen of the conference agreed not to play him in certain games—but if he contamirated the Amos team or ruined the high moral or social standing of opposing players they forgot to mention it. I've often wondered what thoughts occur in the minds of the gentlemen who make these agreements, obviously, when a dark student makes a football team over the natural prejudices of most coaches, he's exceptional—and when he does make it, there's a grave danger that he'll make the all-conference, eleven in the place of your star—and maybe, the All-american—Missouri and Oklahoma have a right to be afraid—they have no Negro students. Three colored lads are playing football in the smaller Kansas colmen, if any, at Kansas institutions, leges this fall—however, as there has been no agreement made to bar any of them from participating in athletic contests, this might tend to show that the gentlehave nothing to do with athletics. I'll expect something more original than the hackneyed "if you don't like this place, why don't you go somewhere else"—but anyway, it's something to think about, especially when the darker students are liberal enough to go to the games, attend pep meetings, and cheer for winning or losing Wildcats—and not a one of them allowed to play because of the "gentlemen" of the Big Six.

THE NEW YORKER MADAME FRANCES E, MOTIN A GRAND DRA- MATIC RECITAL It was almost a miracle to see what Madame Frances E. Motin, directress of the Local talent of the city, under auspices of the City Federation of Women's Clubs, with Mrs. Fred Helm, President, had done in four weeks, at the Central Intermediate School, Dec. 4, 1929, in Grand Dramatic Recital from Shakespeare's plays. It opened with the Negro National Anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing;" by audience. The curtains rolled back and we found ourselves in court scens of "The Merchant of Venice," and each cast a star, viz; Mrs. Leola Payne, Duke of Venice; Mrs. Eula Hamilton, Antonio The Merchant; Mrs. Madeline Turner, Bassanio. Mrs. Amanda Boone, Gratianio; Mrs. Eva Woods, Salerio; Mrs. Christine Hare, Shylock, The Jew; Miss Martha Penn, Clerk of the Court; Mrs. Hugh N. Sims, Portia Miss Gladys Hill, Nerissia. Their impersonation, gestures, tones and expressios were those of experienced actors, holding the audience spellbound in astonishment. Duet was sweetly rendered., "The Story of the Rosary," by Misses Gladys Hill and Eugenia Perry. Mr. Russell Brown made good in a declamation, "Scenes Across the Bar." We could see the sweet little girl trying to get her father to not spend the last cent and results of drinking. Then we could see the horror of poker games and sad results. We could easily conclude that the end of all vice, which is shame, want, misery, and death. So sweetly and charmingly did little Clarice Helm, dressed in white, make statue poses. Miss Lucia Hill proved ability, love and special technique in a piano solo. Macbeth (Sleeping-Walking) scene from Shakespeare was where Miss Margaret Johnson, Lady Macbeth; Mrs. Floyd Crouch, Gentlewoman; Mr. Floyd Crouch, Doctor, made new marks as stage players of worth and quality. So stately did Mr. Ezell Conwell deliver a declaration, "Brutus on the Death of Caesar." Our humor was awakened when Miss Gladys Hill, so wonderfully recited, "Aunt Elnora's Hero." It really was laughing time. All enjoyed the quartet, "Building, Daily Building," bv Misses Mildred Humphrey, Lucia Hill, Julia and Ruth Neely. Then, we had not laughed as we had to do when Miss Melba Fox recited, "The Ministers' Black Nance." To cap the climax, Master Floyd Crouch, Jr. recited, "Jealousy;" from Dunbar. He was wonderful for his few years. Mrs Jessie Embry, one of the sweet voices of the city sang, "Gypsy Maiden" and "Dream". The audience thinks she is growing better. We believe Shavespeare would have been pleased with Romeo and Juliet. (Potion Scene) by Mrs. Rena Flake; and Julius Caesar. Dagger Scene) by Mr. Floyd Crouch. They interpreted well under so short a drill by Madame Motin. Mrs. Hugh N. Sims as Portia was at her beat. The Sextette, "Kansas" was good. It was worth the night to see Atty, Fred C. Helm, in a monologue, "Desth Dream," the interpretation was plain there need be no guessing. Keeping time with the music, all dressed in white, the whole company marched in and did beautiful statue posing, arranged by Madame Motin. It was a grand affair, closed by singing, "Silent Night. Madame Motin is honored for her noble work, experience and ability. RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION St. Matthew C. M. E. Ch. M.E.V. C. M. HAWKINS, PASTOR J. L. GOODMAN, Reporter. Monday night—Board Meeting.

I have faith in the Baptist family of Kansas, and in accepting the position of Executive Secretary and Missionary and in leaving a Church of a happy pastorate of more than nineteen years, to become the servant of the Baptist of Kansas, I am making a 'venture on faith,' believing that we can do the task; knowing that what we do will be vitally linked up with what others are doing. You are therefore urged to cooperate. Tdis we ought to do, because, "We that are strong ought to bear the informitics of the week." This we must do if we would measure up to the responsibility of the task that is ours. The hour has come for a system of giving in doing work for the Lord and it the purpose of this appeal to ask, yes, to urge, each church, and State Missions. This will put heart into our workers who are doing their best and giving their lives in preaching the Gospel in rural Kansas.

U., we could meet our obligations and this would mean freedom from all financial embarrassments This ought to be our ambition in 'hi our common task.

PAINFUL CORNS Loosen—Lift Out A little known Japanese herb, the discovery of an eminent German scientist (Dr. Stickel) instantly soothes the corn, callous or wart, then loosens it so that shortly you can lift it right out. This new discovery called "Corn Fly" excites the white blood corpuscles to action and granulates the corn at its root so that it drops out and leaves no trace of scar or soreness. You will also find "Corn Fly Foot Bath Powder" a boon for sore, tired or perspiring feet. "Corn Fly" for corns, 35c, "Corn Fly Foot Bath Powder" 25c, and "Corn Fly Bunion Remedy" 50c, (all three—3110 value—for $100), are sold under a positive money-back guarantee by Hi-Gene Co., Newark, N.
